Chapter 825: Corpse God
Such an arrow frightened everyone. Heavenly Kings like the Sacred Demon Leader and the Tombskull Master felt chills throughout their bodies. Although all of them were kings, they were far from being Jian Wushuang's match.
From start to finish, Jian Wushuang never used her clan's emperor laws. Just her bow alone was enough to slay a paragon — just how horrifying was this?
At this moment, a tearing sound could be heard, accompanied by a miserable cry. Everyone glanced back and saw the Ancient Treeking actually tearing apart his own body in order to escape from the chains sealing him!
He dragged his crippled body away, but Jian Wushuang unleashed another arrow. It was indescribably fast and immediately caught up to the king. He managed to easily block it with his shield, resulting in a loud blast.
However, this was no ordinary arrow. With a strange noise, the king and his shield were instantly covered in ice.
However, he was still a paragon. His blood energy rose and dispelled this layer of ice instantly. Nevertheless, this slowed him down quite a bit.
"Xshh!" A second arrow came flying just as fast as the last one. The slowed treeking couldn't dodge this arrow. His broken shield tried to block it but was penetrated along with the treeking's body.
After making contact, the king lurched to a halt as his blood energy weakened. At this moment, it seemed that time suddenly began to flow faster. The king's body suddenly changed at a rapid rate as his blood energy grew weaker and weaker.
This was a "Fighter" arrow with a special effect that caused time to flow faster around his body! It caused his blood energy to weaken, aging him by several dozen years or more.
"Boom!" The king was not someone who just sit idle and wait for death. A green light emerged from his body. His wood-like body suddenly became spirited with budding seedlings. His destroyed body came together like tree bark and turned more powerful and magical.
He used his powerful vitality to counter the withering of the "Fighter" arrow. This was the strong point of being an ancient tree demon.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow flew forward with incredible speed. However, the treeking did not try to dodge since his body could withstand the blow. Jian Wushuang couldn't kill him so quickly. The most important thing to him was to stop the withering of time!
"Ah…" However, he looked down too much on this one arrow. Although its power was not comparable to the word Soldier and definitely not comparable to a mantra from the first four words, it was definitely fatal.
It pierced through the king and ended his life. At this minute, the treeking fell straight down with his eyes still open in disbelief.
As a sacred tree, his body was much stronger than a body made out of flesh like the Black-striped Ancestor. As long as the arrow didn't hit a weak spot, it was virtually impossible for him to die even if struck by countless arrows.
However, this particular arrow pierced through his most vital area. However, only he knew about this weak spot! Even at the moment of death, he didn't understand how Jian Wushuang's arrow was able to strike this area so accurately.
He didn't know that this arrow was made from the word "Battle". In terms of speed, it was not as fast as a "Fighter" arrow, and in terms of brute force, it was not as powerful as an "All" arrow either.
However, this was a fatal arrow. It could pierce the most susceptible area of anyone as well as the weakest point of any merit laws!
There was no hiding for the treeking when faced with this arrow. His death was a foregone conclusion when this arrow was shot.
"Boom!" The huge tree body of the king fell down like an avalanche, signaling another long silence in the vicinity!
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Jian Wushuang killed two paragons in such a short period of time! This kind of power was unbelievable!
Li Qiye nodded approvingly at her performance. He didn't mind giving her the true bow and wasting countless resources in order to create the Shadow Phoenix Physique for her. She did not let him down since she was the most suitable person for the dao of archery.
"This is your last chance, come!" Jian Wushuang coldly glared at the coalition army from the Sacred Demon Tribe, the Tombskull Sect, and the Feather Country before letting out a chuckle.
The armies grew hesitant at this moment, but they did not back down. They couldn't back out now. If they failed to even capture Jian Wushuang, then how could they dream of catching Li Qiye?
"Don't blame me for being ruthless then!" Jian Wushuang snorted during their moment of hesitation. She prepped her bow and unleashed more arrows. Multiple "Formation" arrows shot out and created many arrays. A rain of arrows descended and locked the armies in place.
She used her own power to fight against the army — one against tens of thousands!
"Ah!" Screams resounded left and right. The weaker disciples had no chance to combat the flurry of arrows and were instantly killed.
All of the elders and high elders sent out experts in order to break through the arrow arrays to get to Jian Wushuang! However, how could she give them this chance?
"Buzz!" The bow lit up once more. A "Fighter" arrow annihilated all things in its path. Treasures and even Heavenly Kings couldn't stop this arrow. Flesh spattered everywhere along with shrill screams among this scene of carnage!
At this moment, she was able to send the army into complete chaos. Since she already had a supreme dao of archery, the addition of the bow was like giving wings to a tiger. The entire killing process became very easy; she could kill Heavenly Kings without breaking a sweat.
The spectators shivered while watching this scene. They thought that imperial descendants were different after all. They were all kings, but the Sacred Demon Leader and the Tombskull Master were simply not her match.
Without an imperial weapon in this situation, no one could compete against Jian Wushuang. The combination of her phoenix physique and the bow essentially gave her invincibility!
"Summon the Corpse God!" The Tombskull Sect couldn't bear this any longer. The sect master shouted and immediately formed a formation with the high elders. They took out a dao platform and spewed their longevity blood on it. With a series of profound incantations, the platform lit up.
"Whoosh!" A cold breeze flew by. A figure appeared above the platform as an evil energy erupted right away like the arrival of an evil god. The entire battlefield turned dark as if this figure heralded the coming of hell!
Everyone quivered a bit after feeling this cold breeze as if they had just seen a ghost!
"Damn, the Tombskull Sect has gone crazy. They actually summoned the Corpse God! Do they not know that it is easy to invite a ghost but hard to get one to leave? This type of devil will not leave until it has its fill of blood!" A great power's sect master screamed in horror.
The Corpse God was the ultimate move of the Tombskull Sect. Legend states that this corpse was groomed by their progenitor. It was extremely ferocious, a true monster. Normally, the sect would never dare to summon it because no one could control it outside of a select few.
It was easy to summon but quite difficult to reseal. The Corpse God must have its fill of blood before it would willingly return to slumber.
"Bang!" The summoned Corpse God performed a mudra and instantly shattered Jian Wushuang's arrow arrays. Despite the great quantity, the arrays were not enough to trap this terrifying monster.
The alliance was finally relieved after seeing the Corpse God's power. The disadvantageous situation was finally dealt with by its presence!
Jian Wushuang snorted and was unperturbed. She wanted to rush forward to fight this corpse, but Li Qiye stopped her and gently shook his head: "Leave this monster to me. You can't kill it for the time being."
With that, death energy emerged along with the Death Chapter. A heavenly sun rotated and a magical sound rang. The laws from the chapter instantly soared towards the corpse.
The Corpse God wasn't afraid and reached out with one hand to meet it. It immediately caught the universal laws, but with a sizzling sound, the laws disappeared inside its body and instantly froze it on the spot.
"Impossible!" The Tombskull Master and the other elders were horrified; they didn't dare to believe their own eyes. The Corpse God was something they fed with blood for generations. No outsiders could control it!
"Li Qiye's undead manipulation art is stronger than the Tombskull Sect's!" Many experts saw this in the distance and became moved.
Li Qiye's ability was no secret, but people still found it incredible at the sight of him easily controlling the Corpse God.
"Blood sacrifice!" The Tombskull Master bellowed. With the cooperation of the elders, they spewed out their longevity blood as an offering to the Corpse God.
More noises could be heard. The Corpse God's entire body radiated a bloody light. It seemed to be able to escape Li Qiye's grasp as a terrifying red glimmer flashed across its eyes just like a devil.

[collapse]Chapter 826: Diamond God
In this moment, it appeared that the sect has regained control of the Corpse God. It woke up and suddenly turned around and reached out with its evil hand. Its palm came and crushed all in its path. Shrill screams resounded as several thousand disciples of the alliance were immediately crushed to death while spurting blood.
The Corpse God opened its mouth to suck in all of the blood like a siphon. This scene was completely terrifying to all the spectators, causing them to run as far away from the battlefield as possible.
"What are you doing!" At this time, the Sacred Demon Leader shouted furiously. All of the elders and experts from the coalition were glaring at the Tombskull Sect.
"The Corpse God needs to have its fill in order to become strong enough to break Li Qiye's control. Sacrifice is necessary for victory!" The Tombskull Sect uttered coldly.
The Corpse God turned around with its bloody eyes and focused on Li Qiye like a devil eyeing its prey.
However, Li Qiye only smirked. The Death Chapter rotated and, with a clanking sound, the laws inside the corpse's body lit up. The Corpse God was immediately affected once more and its mind slowed down.
"Kill him!" The Tombskull Sect's group knew that something wasn't right. They didn't hold anything back and offered more longevity blood to the corpse so that it could kill Li Qiye; they didn't want to give Li Qiye the chance to control it.
The Corpse God came with killing intent that could shatter the world. Its evil energy swept across the land and turned everything dark. It was as if this cruel devil was the ruler of this area!
Li Qiye didn't even bat an eye in the face of the upcoming onslaught. The Death Chapter shifted once more. All of the skeletons in his control immediately rushed towards the Corpse God. Several thousand of them formed a skeletal wall in an attempt to stop it.
"Boom!" However, this bone wall could not impede the Corpse God. In a brief moment, the skeletons were all crushed, causing their fragmented bones to fly everywhere.
Such a scene left the Tombskull experts in great pain because these skeletons were groomed with great effort, but now they were destroyed because of Li Qiye.
The Corpse God maintained its sky-destroying momentum and rushed towards Li Qiye. Li Qiye raised his brow and the chapter moved one more time like a mirror shining down on the monster!
"Zzz—" In an instant, the death energy from the chapter engulfed the Corpse God, causing it to stop immediately. Next, waves of energy entered its body, generating even more sizzling sounds. The bloody light of the Corpse God was instantly absorbed by the death energy.
Li Qiye was controlling the chapter while the Corpse God obediently stood by his side; it was completely under his control.
"No…" The elders of the Tombskull Sect cried out after losing control. Such a blow was too much for them to take.
Li Qiye insipidly said: "I can even control a dead phoenix, let alone this corpse." Although the Tombskull Sect's undead manipulation skill was great, when compared to the Death Chapter from the scripture, it was only an insignificant trick.
After gaining control of the Corpse God, Li Qiye no longer wanted to personally make a move, so he dismissively said: "They are all yours."
Jian Wushuang's eyes flared up like arrows. The bow in her hand lit up and shot out "Formation" arrows. Once again, a rain of arrows covered the sky, causing screams to emanate everywhere.
"Sheng Fei, where is your hidden card? Where are the ancestors from the Crystallized Sea Sect?!" Among the pitiful cries, the Sacred Demon Leader angrily yelled at Sheng Fei.
Sheng Fei was also quite nervous. The Crystallized Sea Sect had promised to help him, but they still had yet to appear. At this time, he couldn't be patient any longer and also growled: "Elder Xu, your Crystallized Sea Sect cannot forget your promise to us!"
"What's the rust, are we not here now?" A cold voice came in response. With an explosion, one could see jade pillars descending from the sky and anchored themselves in the ground instantly.
The gigantic pillars sealed the space around Li Qiye in an instant. Endless sacred lights emerged; they were white and divine as they shrouded the entire location, giving the feeling that it was a kingdom of heaven.
Five figures appeared inside this great formation. All of them appeared to be quite holy and untouchable and capable of expelling all evil.
"Exorcism Formation, the Crystallized Sea Five Ancestors!" Someone in the distance recognized the formation along with the five figures inside.
"Crystallized Sea Sect?" Li Qiye smirked after seeing this.
At this point, the spectators finally knew why the Feather Country's group dared to make a move on Li Qiye. So it turned out that they had the Crystallized Sea Sect as their backing!
"Help us…" Screams could be heard from left and right. Under the arrow formation from Jian Wushuang, blood continued to run like rivers. The army had lost a large portion of its troops and Sheng Fei was crying for help.
However, the five ancestors simply didn't care for Sheng Fei. Their only goal was Li Qiye, so the well-being of these other people was not of consideration.
"Run!" Some were aghast within the formation. They tried to run but couldn't make it very far before being killed by the chaotic arrows.
In a short period of time, the coalition army was utterly routed by Jian Wushuang. They had forgotten about the creed of not running on the battlefield. Under the threat of death, no one was willing to stay to fight. All of them tried to run to escape from this hellhole.
"Exorcism Formation?" Li Qiye leisurely smiled at this space-sealing formation: "Do all of you really think that all undead manipulation laws are evil?"
"You can try and find out." An imposing voice like the ringing of a bell appeared.
A sixth figure emerged from within the endless holy light of the formation. This was an extremely dashing old man. He stood there like a divine statue. His body emitted a golden light as if he was wearing golden armor.
"Diamond God! This was an existence in the Crystallized Sea Sect rumored to be unkillable by even Godkings!" A Demon King watching in the distance yelled after seeing the old man.
Experts from the previous generation were astounded to hear this name. One of them murmured: "What kind of deep hatred is this? The Crystallized Sea Sect actually invited their second guardian ancestor, they really are going all out."
"This is an unkillable existence." A grand character took a deep breath since he knew about the Diamond God's identity.
For many generations, very few in the sect were able to cultivate the Heaven's Will Crystal Physique successfully, and the Diamond God was one of them! He was a piece of gold ingot enlightened in the dao and eventually became a Virtuous Paragon.
Despite being one of the few users of this physique, he was far weaker than Young Noble Pei Yu. This was because Pei Yu's original form was a Focused Steelgem — this was very close to Immortal Emperor Jing Yu's true form, thus the young noble had a matchless innate advantage.
Because of this, the gold ingot form of the Diamond God couldn't compare to the young noble in this regard. However, the Diamond God's talents were supreme. During his youth, despite the skepticism of many, he actually managed to successfully cultivate the crystal physique. Of course, the young noble could last for six days and six nights while the Diamond God could only last for one hour!
Nevertheless, the Diamond God still remained invincible. During his generation, he was once ambushed by three Godkings but easily escaped from their ambush due to his physique. Moreover, he came out completely unscathed! From then on, he was praised as someone unkillable by even Godkings!
"So it is that lump of gold with the crystal physique." Li Qiye couldn't help but smile at the god's appearance. He knew the reason for his arrival.
"Junior, hand over your secret weapon and perhaps I will spare you from death!" The Diamond God's voice was quite sonorous. He leered at Li Qiye with a body as mighty as a mountain. Anyone who stood before him would feel tremendous pressure.
After the news of Li Qiye breaking the young noble's crystal physique spread to the Crystallized Sea Sect, none of them dared to believe it because this remained an impossibility for eons. Their physique could be suppressed by an extremely powerful existence, but a full dispel was impossible. Thus, the elders assumed that Li Qiye must have used an evil weapon capable of piercing or subduing their physique! Because of this, the sect mobilized five elders to use the Exorcism Formation.
They aimed to kill two birds with one stone. First, they could suppress the evil weapon capable of defeating their physique. Second, it would also suppress Li Qiye's evil art that allowed him to control the undead!
At the same time, they invited their second guardian ancestor, the Diamond God!
"Secret weapon? There is no such thing." Li Qiye smiled and looked at the Diamond God: "Also, do you really think the crystal physique can protect your life?"
"Junior, even if you have your extremely evil weapon, the only fate that awaits you today is death. It doesn't matter if you are capable of killing God-Monarchs, you are nothing before me." The Diamond God coldly declared.
At this point, the god emitted a powerful imperial aura that caused people to shiver uncontrollably.
"So you didn't only bring the Exorcism Formation to stop me, you also brought an imperial weapon." Li Qiye felt the aura and smiled.
The Crystallized Sea Sect came prepared this time. They aimed to stop all of Li Qiye's methods, and they brought an imperial weapon along for the cause. Even if Li Qiye could break the crystal physique, the Diamond God was confident that the weapon left behind by their emperor would be able to stop Li Qiye's evil weapon!
Chapter 827: Transformation of the Corpse God
An existence like the Diamond God with a boundless imperial aura due to his weapon would be scary for anyone outside of Godkings. Even legendary masters and eternal existences would be wary of him.
Li Qiye glanced over the Exorcism Formation then back at the Diamond God. He was still smiling and as carefree as ever: "Since you are so confident, then let us begin. Show me what you got."
"Attack!" The Diamond God commanded with a cold glint in his eyes.
The five ancestors immediately activated the Exorcism Formation. The endless sacred light condensed into a ball of radiance that flew straight towards Li Qiye's Death Chapter.
The Diamond God wanted to capture Li Qiye alive to find out the secrets behind his ability to break their crystal physique.
Li Qiye's powerful undead manipulation was known to everyone, thus the sect wanted to stop this evil art first. Without it, Li Qiye would be nothing before the Diamond God.
This Exorcism Formation from the Crystallized Sea Sect was very famous. It was created by Immortal Emperor Jing Yu and capable of repelling all evil. Even a devil from hell would be blown into smithereens within this formation.
However, no matter how bright and holy the light inside the formation was or that it was strengthened by an Immortal Emperor, there was no effect as it shone on Li Qiye's Death Chapter.
"What?! Impossible!" The five ancestors were astounded by disbelief.
Everyone knew that undead manipulation arts were definitely evil by nature. Even if it wasn't evil, it would still be suppressed by the Exorcism Formation. However, Li Qiye's chapter was unperturbed.
"If this art of mine is evil, then your Immortal Emperor's laws are unorthodox and unrighteous!" Li Qiye's chapter withstood the baptism of the holy light. It essentially had no effect on him.
At this second, the began to chapter rotate. The Corpse God took one step forward, causing the space beneath his foot to shatter. The entire Exorcism Formation shook, causing a majority of the holy light to sway.
"Suppress it!" The Diamond God's expression sank after seeing the Corpse God moving. He commanded the five ancestors. The Corpse God was the ultimate treasure of the Tombskull Sect, a terrifying monster with frightful power. Even an existence like the Diamond God was quite wary of this creature.
The five ancestors strengthened the Exorcism Formation. In the blink of an eye, the holy light engulfed the Corpse God like a surging river. One could hear sizzling sounds at the moment of contact. Green smoke rose from its body. Under the suppression of the holy light, the corpse couldn't move and even growled from time to time. This growl seemed to come from a devil of hell, instilling chills in everyone.
As the light from the formation was purifying the Corpse God, the devil seemed to have turned into a vampire; smoke rose from its body wherever the light touched. Its dense evil energy was being cleansed by the light.
The Diamond God snorted after seeing the successful containment of the Corpse God. His sharp eyes glared at Li Qiye. WIthout the Corpse God and other undead under his control, Li Qiye was only an ant in his eyes!
However, Li Qiye didn't care at all about the well-being of the corpse. He ignored the Corpse God being suppressed by the formation.
Many experts from afar were startled by this scene. Li Qiye's powerful evil art was finally suppressed. This Exorcism Formation was indeed unfathomable.
"Worthy of being an imperial lineage. This great formation could contain all evil so easily!" One person murmured.
On the other side, Jian Wushuang was carrying out a massacre. The alliance was in complete disarray as they were being hunted by her. With the Nine Words True Bow in her hand, it would be simple for her to kill even from a thousand miles away.
"Ahh!" Amidst the sea of screams, Sheng Fei, who started this storm, couldn't escape death. He was eventually killed by Jian Wushuang's arrows. His body fell down from high above, causing blood to splash everywhere!
Jian Wushuang now resembled a Death Goddess. Her state had reached its peak; she could meet god, slay god, meet devil, slay devil. Anyone would take the long route around her at this moment for they were full of dread.
"Rawrrr!" The Corpse God screamed under the baptism of holy light as if it was in great pain.
The Diamond God saw this and glared at Li Qiye before laughing: "This is your ace? Surrender now and reveal your secrets, then our sect might spare you!"
Li Qiye smiled and pointed with his chin while slowly stating: "Isn't it a bit too early to be excited? Look again."
"Boom!" There was a sudden turn of events. The Corpse God suddenly erupted with a blinding light. An endless sacred light soared all the way up into the sky.
"What…" After the sudden development, the cultivators outside, the five ancestors, and the Diamond God were all shocked. The Corpse God was an evil monster, so how could it emit such a powerful sacred light?
At this moment, something incredible happened. The sacred light up high in the sky turned into a gigantic vortex. With a series of loud detonations, this vortex became an all-devouring black hole and sucked in all the holy light within the formation.
The five ancestors were aghast. The formation was no longer under their control as its holy light was absorbed by the Corpse God.
"Boom!" The divine pillars shouldering the Exorcism Formation were shattered. The formation soon followed suit after its holy light was stolen.
At this time, the sacred light dispersed along with the evil energy. The Corpse God revealed its true appearance. This was a scholarly middle-aged man with an elegant and noble appearance. No one would be able to connect him and the Corpse God that was emitting evil energy earlier.
Most people would imagine the corpse having yellow fangs and green skin. Who would have thought that it had such a gentlemanly appearance?
However, this man had no trace of life; it was still a corpse after all.
Many people — including the five ancestors — were stunned after seeing the true appearance of the Corpse God.
The Diamond God recognize the corpse's identity and exclaimed in shock: "Isn't, isn't that the son of the Tombskull Progenitor?!"
The crowd was astounded by this revelation; the corpse was the Tombskull Progenitor’s son! No one would believe such news, not even the Tombskull Sect itself. Its progenitor actually turned his own son into the Corpse God, just how terrifying was this matter?
As for the reason why, maybe no one knows.
"The Tombskull Sect embarked on an evil path. Such a good corpse was ruined by the gestation of blood." Li Qiye was very pleased with this result as he smiled leisurely: "Just in time though, your Exorcism Formation carried a powerful holy power. This kind of force is perfect for expelling the evil blood energy from its body. I should be thanking all of you. Without the formation, I would have had to spend a lot of effort to rid it of its evil."
These words left the Diamond God and the five ancestors with extremely unsightly expressions. So it turned out that Li Qiye was only using them!
"This brat is too devilish!" Many people were astonished after hearing this. At first, people thought that the Exorcism Formation was suppressing the Corpse God. Who would have thought that Li Qiye was taking advantage of the formation? This was the same as giving up one's wife and losing an army as well! 1
"My turn." Li Qiye smiled at the five ancestors. His chapter rotated once more as death energy filled his body.
"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the Corpse God attacked. His body turned into a ray of light, and in the next moment, screams ensued with blood splattering everywhere. The five ancestors were instantly killed with their blood spurting like springs!
"Little animal, you want to die!" A junior killing his descendants right under his nose made the Diamond God livid. He went straight for Li Qiye.
However, before he could reach his goal, the Corpse God appeared before Li Qiye and easily stopped his attack.
Li Qiye stood right there and leisurely commented: "You are so far from being a God-Monarch that you can't compare to this Corpse God at all."
"Good, good, let me check out this peerless genius of the past then!" The Diamond God had a twisted expression. He couldn't catch Li Qiye without killing the corpse that protected him.
"Without an imperial weapon or the crystal physique, you are no match for it." Li Qiye chuckled and channeled his death chapter, letting its energy surge once more.
"Boom!" The tyrannical Corpse God stomped towards the Diamond God!
The god was furious from being looked down upon like this and rushed to meet it head on.
"Rumble!" In the blink of an eye, the Diamond God and the Corpse God had exchanged five blows in the sky, causing widespread destruction.
"Boom!" The Diamond God was blown away by the corpse while spewing out a mouthful of blood.
"Die!" The maddened Diamond God finally attacked with his imperial weapon. It crossed the sky and suppressed the heavens. On the other hand, the Corpse God soared in a dancing pattern like a flood dragon against the oncoming imperial weapon.
"Bang!" In an instant, the battle waged on, causing the sun and the moon to lose their brilliance. Countless people were nervous from fear due to this terrifying battle!
The Diamond God indeed became a lot more powerful with an imperial weapon in hand. Even a God-Monarch might have to retreat in the face of this combination!
However, the Corpse God's power was far beyond imagination, especially after being purified by the Exorcism Formation. It became even mightier as if this was its true power!
Beauty trap, one of the 36 stratagems. This phrase is saying to lose everything after a failed military deployment; losing your hot beauties as well as an army. ↩
