Chapter Forty-Six: The Immortal Corpse King

"The road here seems to have come to an end again, and I don't know how to get to the next place", Zhao Zhuo looked around, there was no other way except for the passage he took when he came.

"No, there is, but it is estimated that there will be danger", Zhong Ling said suddenly.

"Could it be that you mean that the passage is in the water", Shi Xuan looked at the huge pool.

Zhong Ling nodded, she had been fighting with the Array Spirit in the water before, and had accidentally discovered the secret passage.

"Shi Xuan and I are weak in the water, if we encounter a fierce spirit beast again, it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with it", Zhao Zhuo was a little worried.

"My water spirit should be able to carry us through," Zhong Ling said.

"Anyway, there's no way back, it's a big deal to fight for a while," Shi Xuan said.

After the three of them finished repairing, they were ready to continue on the road, there was no food or drink here, and if they couldn't keep up with the physical exertion for a long time, they might be trapped here.

Zhong Ling summoned a larger water spirit, like a shark, and the three of them rode on it, Zhong Ling cast a huge blister protector on them, and began to dive down the pool.

The deep pool didn't know where it led, but Shi Xuan and the others saw that the dark passage at the bottom of the lake was radiant, and there was light indicating that there might be a way out on the other side, and the three of them quickly swam towards the passage.

The dark passage was not very long, and when they swam past, a larger lake appeared, and they watched carefully, and the powerful array of spirits attacked, and at that moment a group of ferocious piranhas swam towards them.

"Stop them," Zhao Zhuo shouted.

Looking at the terrifying piranha with its huge teeth, the three of them were nervous, Zhong Ling cast a series of huge vortices to sweep them away, and then urged the water spirit to swim towards the shore with all his might.

"It's too slow, sooner or later she will be caught up, and the two of us will help her," Shi Xuan said.

The two of them channeled their aura to Zhong Ling, and her speed skyrocketed instantly, and finally succeeded in rushing ashore.

These piranhas swam fiercely towards the shore, Shi Xuan burned them all back into the water with a rain of flames, Zhao Zhuo picked up some dead ones and continued to cook them over the fire, and the three of them shared their food.

"You don't notice that there are runes glowing on the top of this cave, and the light we see at the bottom of the lake is simply from these runes, and we are still trapped in the cave," said a little frustrated.

"It's okay, even if it's death, our senior brothers and sisters have carried it down together, after so many tests, even hell is nothing to fear in front of us", Shi Xuan comforted.

In this kind of predicament, the biggest difficulty is often the lack of courage to live.

"The aura here seems to be a little turbid, not as thorough as the outside", Zhong Ling felt a trace of strangeness.

"Let's continue to explore ahead, be careful," Shi Xuan said.

There are these faint blue spiritual lights emitting from the top of the cave here, which is very weird, but there is no need for Shi Xuan and them to spend spiritual power to explore the way.

"Have you seen the glowing insight ahead?" Zhao Zhuo vaguely spotted some moving aura in the dim aura.

"It's not good, these are yin spirits, only places where many people have died will be born so many, is this really hell?" Shi Xuan was also surprised.

"They're coming towards us," Zhong Ling yelled in fright.

"The Yin Spirits are afraid of our true fire, Zhao Zhuo lit up the flames", Shi Xuan dealt with these Yin Spirits.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo summoned a huge flame to drive away the many Yin Spirits floating over, and they moved forward quickly.

But all the way down, there were sarcophagi on both sides of the road, and they didn't know how many, so they had to speed up.

"Ah", Zhong Ling suddenly fell while running and screamed.

Shi Xuan hurriedly came back and subdued her, "What's wrong?"

"It looks like something grabbed my foot just now," Zhong Ling said in horror.

"Don't scare me", Zhao Zhuo looked around, his true fire suddenly shone on a terrifying picture, a skinny and bony dried corpse, his fleshless chin suddenly moved at this moment, his deep eyes had long been sunken, and his whole body exuded an evil aura.

"Kill him, he's still alive", Zhong Ling shouted in fright.

Shi Xuan drew the big knife, the snow flashed, and the head of the dried corpse rolled down, but his limbs were still twitching, and his eyes were blinking.

"Hurry up, there is still a trace of remnant soul in these corpses, they will wake up at any time, let's go quickly, don't disturb them", Shi Xuan pulled up the frightened Zhong Ling and ran quickly.

At this time, a large group of dried corpses behind them were slowly getting scared and walking towards them.

The three of them ran for a long time to escape the pursuit of the dry corpse, and came to the front of a large hall, where several larger sarcophagi were sealed.

"What kind of place is this?" Zhong Ling looked at the terrifying scene around him.

"Look at the plaque on the hall," Zhao Zhuo said, pointing to the plaque.

"Nili Temple", Shi Xuan recognized a few big characters.

"Isn't the Nili Temple hell, we're in hell," Zhong Ling almost cried.

"There won't be a legendary ghost king here," Zhao Zhuo observed vigilantly.

"The costumes of these corpses are extremely ancient, and I don't know how many years they have been sealed, I have seen an introduction to corpse transformation in ancient books, only those who are well preserved and whose strength exceeds the Heavenly Vein Realm in front of them have a chance of corpse transformation, that is to say, the weakest corpses here are all from the Heavenly Vein Realm", Shi Xuan remembered the ancient books he had read.

"In front of those Yin Spirits are the remnants of their souls, which can survive in this unique environment," Zhao Zhuo said.

"The dried corpses in the rear are coming over soon, let's figure out a way first", Zhong Ling noticed the movement in the rear.

"Let's enter the main hall first, let's see what's going on inside," Shi Xuan said.

The towering hall, the door was pushed open by them, and the hall that had been sealed for many years once again exuded brilliance, and the runes on the walls around the hall were shining, and the hall was illuminated.

After the three entered, the gate closed automatically.

"It's not good, we're trapped inside", looking at the automatically closing door, Zhao Zhuo secretly said that it was not good.

"It's not a bad thing that the gate just blocks the dried corpses and yin spirits outside, let's be careful and don't touch things," Shi Xuan said.

There is a throne on the top of the main hall, and there is a skeleton on it at the moment, and a large knife is set aside, and I don't know how long the corpse on the throne has been dead, but vaguely the throne seems to be radiant, and a layer of spiritual light covers the corpse inside.

"In front of this person, it must be a strong person, you see that the grade of that big sword is extremely high, it has exceeded the sixth-order level I have seen, I estimate that this must at least reach the grandmaster level or above, this is a weapon that gives birth to a soul", Shi Xuan looked at the bones on this throne with palpitations.

"How do I feel like I'm being watched by some powerful soul?" Zhong Ling was very unnatural.

"Find a way to get out of here, if the corpses on the throne are revived, we will die without all of them", Shi Xuan felt a huge pressure.

"Ah, the delicious sacrifice, how many years have I finally had the opportunity to taste it again, since I came, why did I leave?hahaha", at this time, a magic sound suddenly came from the main hall, and I don't know who made it.

"Who's talking?" Zhao Zhuo looked around nervously.

"It's the one on the throne", Shi Xuan had been observing him.

"Good mental power, little doll", the corpse on the throne fluctuated instantly, his shriveled skin slowly came to life again, his withered head began to turn, two black flames shot out of his eyes, and his whole body was bathed in raging black flames.

The barrier above the throne instantly lit up, trapping him inside.

The corpse came to life in an instant, and his whole body emitted terrifying dark ghostly fire, and he began to speak: "I haven't eaten for a long time, you three delicious sacrifices will definitely be able to satisfy me, hahahaha", the corpse on the throne laughed greedily.

"Have your big dream of spring and autumn, you are trapped in the spirit array, and you also want to make a big fuss, you don't know how many years after you die, you still have to come out to make trouble", Shi Xuan scolded.

"It's been thousands of years, I didn't expect you to dare to speak out against a stinky kid, it's really ridiculous, what can I do with the mere spirit array?"

"Animal, Hugh is arrogant", at this time a powerful voice came from the main hall.

"Lord of Disillusionment, I didn't expect you to be dead for thousands of years", the Corpse King in the light curtain was furious, and at this time, a soul appeared in the main hall, and he was manipulating the Spirit Array to deal with the Corpse King.

"I didn't expect that your soul was completely destroyed back then, but after so many years, it has become so powerful again," said the soul in the main hall.

"Do you think that the old man's immortal Xuan Gong is so easy to deal with? The old man's soul has been nourished for thousands of years, and over the years, those disciples and grandchildren of yours have not known how much they have been devoured by me, and they have all become my delicious sacrifices", the corpse king said arrogantly.

"If it weren't for the fact that these three of my disciples accidentally opened the trial stone I set up thousands of years ago, the old man might not have this chance to wake up again, and this time he will completely strangle you so that you won't cause chaos in the future," said the soul in the air.

"Then it depends on how much strength you have left?" The Corpse King swung his broadsword and attacked wildly, restraining his spirit array.

"Disillusionment, help me destroy the enemy", a crown in the big array flew up and exuded terrifying power, the king of disillusionment and the corpse king launched an earth-shattering battle, Shi Xuan and the three of them took the opportunity to get more, this hall has a huge magic circle imprisoned, indestructible.

The terrifying power of the Corpse King destroyed the spirit array that bound him, and started a great battle with the King of Disillusionment, the King of Disillusionment had a monstrous spell, drawing a steady stream of power from the great array, and the monstrous aura killed the Corpse King, who summoned endless black flame resistance.

"You don't even have the strength you had at the beginning, and you still want to fight me," the Corpse King roared.

"How strong do you have, I'm going to kill you today," said the King of Disillusionment.

"Thousands of corpses, the old man ordered you to come here as soon as possible as your master as the Immortal Corpse King", the Corpse King didn't want to capsize in the gutter, and directly began to summon an endless army of the dead to attack the temple frantically, as long as he broke the hall, he could enter the outside world again, even if it was Tianhua Sect, he had no ability to stop his recovery.

The seals of the largest sarcophagus outside were broken one after another, and the three giant corpses got up from them and began to attack the gate of the main hall, and countless Yin Spirits and Dry Corpses behind them also passed the call of the Corpse King and began to attack.

"It's not good, we can't let these things in, otherwise we're all going to die here", Shi Xuan saw the dense dried corpses outside.

"The three of us will temporarily block these dried corpses, and wait for the seniors to kill the corpse king, and then come to deal with them", Shi Xuan and the three of them came to the door and were ready to make a move.

The King of Disillusionment was too busy dealing with the Immortal Corpse King to control the main hall's defensive circle, and soon the gate was breached by these undead.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo launched a terrifying flame offensive, the sea of fire in the sky ignited the endless dried corpses, and countless dried corpses and yin spirits were buried in the sea of fire on the square outside, but the strongest three giant corpses had extremely strong souls, and their bodies seemed to preserve some consciousness in front of them, and they were able to perform terrifying evil spiritual skills.

Shi Xuan and the three of them started a big battle, and his flames could hardly cause damage to these three dry corpses, he could only fight with them in close combat.

These corpses are extremely hard, and they can compare to those dry corpses outside far away, and they are also strong people in the Heavenly Spirit Realm when they are alive, otherwise they would not have such strong bones.

They are powerful and have amazing defenses, but they lack intelligence, and their attacks are more like instincts, unruly, choosing them to maneuver to dodge their brutal attacks while sneaking up on them.

Zhong Ling's Xuan Ice Thorn had an obvious effect, freezing them in place several times, allowing Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo to kill them.

And the King of Disillusionment launched a crazy attack on disappointment with the help of a steady stream of spiritual power, although the Corpse King has devoured a lot of souls that have broken into this place over the years, but after all, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is obviously impossible to rely on these low-level spirit masters to completely resurrect him.

Even if his offensive was terrifying, he couldn't help the King of Disillusionment who could use the spiritual power of the formation.

"Dry bones, your king", he once again uses necromancy to summon all the corpses to come to battle.

Shi Xuan and the three of them were under tremendous pressure, they were dragged by the three powerful undead, and the surviving corpses outside began to pass through the sea of fire and kill in again, trying to destroy the great array.

Once the formation is broken, the Lord of Disillusionment will have no advantage, and they will also be in danger. At this time, the three of them were desperately squeezing their potential, constantly fighting with the corpses, every meridian of Shi Xuan was bursting with terrifying power, he had climbed the tenth level of the heavenly ladder, his potential was huge, at this moment, in this extremely high-pressure environment, the potential in his body completely exploded, his Heavenly Dragon Bo Tian Decisive burst out with an unprecedented tenfold attack, his seven slashes through the air, and played a huge aura in the air.

The three giant corpses were cut off by his terrifying attack, and he mercilessly severed their heads until their remnants dissipated. At this moment, he was like a true god descending to earth, and the terrifying power stunned the two little friends, and the corpses were everywhere where his blade passed.

The entrance of the main hall was filled with countless corpses, and a huge flame meteor shower fell like a meteor in front of the main hall, and the corpses and yin spirits that came after instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Without the support of the army of the dead, the Immortal King quickly fell into passive defense, until the last trace of true fire was extinguished, and the last trace of his remnant soul was also wiped out by the Great Array, his bones were turned into powder by the Spirit Magic of the King of Disillusionment, and his powerful blade was also destroyed.

The brilliant crown returned to his head, exuding terrifying power.

The Immortal King is no longer immortal, he and his army of the Infinite Dead have returned to dust and dissipated in this land of the dead.

"I really didn't expect that thousands of years have passed, and the soul of the Immortal Corpse King has actually awakened again, thousands of years ago, the old man walked on the continent and met him who did evil, and it took a lot of effort to kill him, burying him and his group of minions here, I didn't expect that a trace of his remnant soul would actually become a climate, and many disciples who broke into here over the years were probably poisoned by him", the King of Disillusionment sat on the throne and looked at the three disciples below.

The three of Shi Xuan stood respectfully in front of the throne and listened to the teachings.

"The old man thousands of years ago from a small ordinary Pingming disciple to the top of the difficulty, after a lot of hardships, the traps and tribulations you encounter in the cave are everything that the old man has experienced, there are a total of five trials and tribulations, each of the difficulties encountered is different, but they are all the epitome of the old man's hardships, the old man set up this difficult level is to continue to hone my Tianhua Sect's disciples, if you want to get the old man's inheritance, you must be able to withstand the test" , the King of Disillusionment looked at the three people in front of him and said.

"Senior, we had a few disciples who had entered other trial paths before, but we haven't met them until now," Shi Xuan asked.

"Since you haven't met them, they've not arrived here, they've failed, buried forever on this path of trial," said the King of Disillusionment coldly.

Shi Xuan's heart was a little cold, if they hadn't successfully passed the many levels, it was estimated that they would also become a white bone on the road to the trial.

"You may feel sorry for them, but this is their fate, if you want to be rewarded, you must pay a terrible price, my whole body is fighting against a cruel fate, I have lost too much, to be able to reach the top, I must face endless dangers, this road is paved with countless bones", said the Lord of Disillusionment.

"You can get here, you can help the old man destroy the old enemy thousands of years ago, and you can be regarded as passing the old man's test, but the old man's disillusionment is infinite, and it depends on your creation," said the King of Disillusionment.

All three waited respectfully.

"The old man's disillusionment is the wonderful understanding that I have learned after I reached the pinnacle, if you can comprehend it, it will be of great help to you to break through the next major stage in the future, and you can also temper your soul, and the use and understanding of spiritual skills will be greatly improved in the future."

The King of Disillusionment's crown began to glow brightly, and the three of Shi Xuan were all enveloped in a huge spiritual light, and all three of them fell into deep meditation.

Shi Xuan's internal senses have undergone earth-shaking changes, his soul power has been greatly improved, the Crown of Disillusionment is the soul carrier of the King of Disillusionment, he has transmitted the Great Dao Perception from his life to the souls of the three people, and how much he can perceive depends on them personally.

Shi Xuan felt a wonderful scene of the flow of the Great Dao, he seemed to be in the middle of heaven and earth, everything in the heaven and earth was under his control, his soul began to cover the entire continent, every tree swayed, the water flowed, the whistling wind, many traces of the Great Dao in the world were mastered by him, he seemed to be the master of the world.

"Is this what it feels like for the human race to cultivate to the pinnacle? What I feel is the soul imprint of the King of Disillusionment before his death, and there is the perception of his life in it", Shi Xuan was very surprised.

The more he cultivated, the more difficult it became to reach the later levels, and many places required a strong sense of perception, and the most important point of the ability to perceive was determined by the strength of his soul power, and this perception was very important for his soul cultivation.

Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling also gained a lot, they bathed in the aura of the Crown of Disillusionment for a long time, and it was not until the aura disappeared after a long time that their perception ended.

When they opened their eyes, they found that the soul on the throne had dissipated, leaving only the Crown of Disillusionment remaining in the barrier of the throne.

"The predecessors are gone, let's find a way out, right?" Zhao Zhuo said.

"We don't know how long it took us to feel this time, I feel like it's been a long time, it's like traveling through a life," Shi Xuan said.

Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling also nodded, they also felt this way.

"It seems that if you want to become a peerless powerhouse, there are too many things to go through, we all feel the pain and suffering of our predecessors in this life, his life is full of thorns, and he has lost too many things, the catastrophe in this trial is just a microcosm of him, and the difficulties we will face in the future have not yet come", Zhong Ling felt the gift of his predecessors.

The three of them rectified for a moment and began to look for a way out, but the way back was obviously impassable, so they could only find other ways. After some exploration, there was a small teleportation circle on the side of the main hall.

"It should be this, be careful, his trial is not so simple", Shi Xuan observed this teleportation array.

He had used it with Yuan Caiwei a few times, and this time he was familiar with the urging array, and after a while, they appeared in the Great Secret Realm, surrounded by fog and mist, and they didn't know where they were.

"Let's look for it quickly, see if we can meet other senior brothers, the senior brothers who are waiting outside should be in a hurry", Zhong Ling remembered the people who were waiting outside.

The three of them searched everywhere all the way, but there was no one at all, except for some powerful array spirits, they did not meet a single disciple of Tianhua Sect.

"How long did it take for us to feel it, do you feel it?" Zhao Zhuo asked suspiciously.

"It's like being caught in an endless journey of life, and he hasn't been out of his soul dream for a long, long time," Zhong Ling thought.

"This secret realm can only last for about seven days a year, and it will close itself, I estimate that all the senior brothers have already gone out, except for the three of us", Shi Xuan told the truth.

Zhao Zhuo and Zhong Ling were both shocked, "This, you mean that we have been enlightened for at least five or six days this time?" Zhong Ling couldn't believe it.

"Maybe that's the case", Zhao Zhuo also felt this way.

"It seems that we can only survive in the Great Secret Realm for a year, and we will not be able to go out until we open it again next year," Zhong Ling said expressionlessly.

"Let's go find the place where there is a lake, there are a lot of spiritual materials and food, enough to ensure survival, as long as we don't encounter too strong array spirits. Shi Xuan said.

"Fortunately, the aura here is abundant enough to meet our cultivation, and these array spirits can provide us with a lot of spiritual energy, and a year is enough for us to grow a lot," Zhao Zhuo said.

"I'm still worried about whether people outside will think we're dead inside," Zhong Ling said of the biggest problem.
