Chapter 1574 - 147: Corpse Mountain Standing Tall

Chapter 1574: Chapter 147: Corpse Mountain Standing Tall

The waters of the Nether Lake exploded.

Thousands of sword qi swept across.

"Am I being plotted against?"

The Shadow Nether Sea Venerable sneered, eyes full of disdain.

Decades of long years.

He and the Nether Sea have bided their time, repeatedly probing, which led to today’s change—

Both the Ten Thousand Demon Array and the Nether Lake, all kinds of divine skills, were prepared for the Holy Emperor!

And now.

The grand plan is about to be realized, only the last step remains!

Yet Xie Xuanyi claims he’s the one being plotted against... How absurd, how laughable?

"If the Holy Emperor is still alive, why doesn’t he appear himself?"

The Shadow sneered coldly, "He is already dead, as dead as can be!"

"Is that so?"

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, "Some people not appearing doesn’t mean they are dead..."

In terms of this matter alone.

Xie Xuanyi has much to say.

Because Da Sui Sword Palace is just like this...

For so many years, people in the world have repeatedly thought Zhao Chunyang has died. But Old Zhao’s fate is too stubborn; he has "died" many times in rumors and hasn’t really died, making such claims lose credibility. Now the sect leader has changed, yet many still firmly believe Zhao Chunyang is alive, merely having entrusted the grand task to Xie Xuanyi.

"Nonsense!"

The Shadow burst into rage, "The Holy Emperor is dead! And next, you shall die too!"

He took a step forward.

The vast Nether Lake, instantly lost sight of the shadow.

The filthy creatures besieging the Life and Death Sword Domain, like locusts, suddenly went mad... Among the many black shadows, one figure changed its face, suddenly turning into the appearance of the Nether Sea, throwing a heavy punch, the powerful energy penetrated the Dao Domain and hit Xie Xuanyi’s protective gang qi.

"Hmm?"

Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.

The Martial Arts Holy Body Dharma Aspect timely intervened, resisting the punch.

He looked back.

The filthy creature condensed into the appearance of the Nether Sea shattered into bloody water under the pressure of sword qi, but the offense did not stop; from another side of the Life and Death Dao Domain, the Shadow appeared in the same manner, throwing another punch, full of energy, imposing and terrifying!

"Boom boom boom!"

The Life and Death Dao Domain was instantly resounded with sonic booms!

Xie Xuanyi’s expression was heavy.

This Nether Lake’s divine skill is even more insidious than he imagined!

The filthy creatures refined by the Nether Lake, each one connected to the Shadow in mind, in a sense, have become a part of the Shadow. As long as the Shadow’s heart thought slightly moved, he could use the filthy body to complete "tunneling".

Of course.

Tunneling requires a cost.

In Xie Xuanyi’s divine thought’s perception, the Shadow appeared out of thin air, forcibly occupying the complete flesh body of this filthy creature... Such "descent" causes great damage to the flesh body, so after bearing the descent, the flesh of a normal demon cultivator would immediately collapse.

Externally, this scene of flesh and blood flying was caused by the sword qi.

In fact.

The Shadow only intended to deliver a punch through a borrowed shell.

Bang bang bang—

In an instant.

Dozens to hundreds of sounds of flesh breaking erupted around the Life and Death Dao Domain!

These nearly hundred powerful energies simultaneously exploded, the power was quite terrifying, forcibly penetrating the Dao Domain’s outer boundary!

Xie Xuanyi collected his mental state.

He countered the Shadow with sword qi.

The sky-filled sword qi collided with the fist intent, it should have been a scene akin to spear against shield, yet the outcome was somewhat unexpected for Xie Xuanyi... These fist intents seemed fierce, but were actually soft, dispersing immediately upon collision with the sword qi.

"...?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned, Heart Lake surged with unease.

He saw.

The fist intent forcibly infiltrated the Dao Domain, exploding like fireworks upon collision with the flying sword qi, scattering like ink splatters.

"Swish!"

The Shadow reappeared a hundred feet away.

His expression cold, arms hanging, sleeves fluttering, blood continuously seeping and dripping from the cuffs.

Firing nearly a hundred punches in an instant was a huge drain on him, this was a real confrontation with the Domain of Destruction... Even with the use of "shell" for instant teleportation and tunneling, his hands were ravaged beyond recognition by the sword qi, leaving only scarlet-dry skeletons.

However.

His goal had been achieved.

What he wanted to do... was not to break [Life and Death Dao Domain] from the outside...

The difficulty was too great.

What he wanted... was to taint [Life and Death Dao Domain] from the inside!

"Go!"

The Shadow spat coldly a word.

In an instant, all the fist intents collapsed on their own, filthy ink intent spilled, shooting towards all directions of the Life and Death Dao Domain.

Xie Xuanyi’s expression was grim.

He was well aware of the Shadow’s "filthy ink intent" potency.

Although his Harmonization Dao Intent could contend with it.

But...

The world’s Dao Intent naturally opposes the Shadow’s power.

If the inner wall of the Dao Domain is tainted with this filth, and seeking to retract it becomes troublesome.

Even his Lifebound Cave Heaven might be tainted by it.

"Scat!"

Xie Xuanyi could only coldly spit out a word, forcibly dispelling the Dao Intent, causing the harmonious and thick Dao Domain to instantly disintegrate, thousands of life and death sword qi dissolved into the void, the rare few sword qi clashing with the ink intent, above the Nether Lake there was an endless burning sound.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The spilled ink intent collided with the evading sword qi, like black flames burning, suspended in the void!

The world fell into a brief silence.

In this encounter, a temporary victory was decided—

The Nether Lake’s divine skill still remained.

But the Life and Death Dao Domain... was forcibly dispersed.

That grinding mill-like Round Domain dissipated, like locusts scattered across the sky, countless filthy creatures, finally surged forward, in just a few breaths, the Great Domain was overrun, Xie Xuanyi could only use sword qi to slaughter, unable to stop this "locust tide" invasion.

He still stood at the center of the Nether Lake.

From all directions, countless shadowy figures swept in—

Like mountains like seas, impossible to kill completely.

Xie Xuanyi did not unfold the Dao Domain a second time.

He was well aware, if he tried again, the Shadow would repeat the same trick.

The Martial Arts Holy Body Dharma Aspect held the Cross Sword Qi upside down, enveloping Xie Xuanyi within an absolutely safe three-zhang range, though the Dao Domain was scattered, the density of the sword qi was undiminished, tens of thousands of strands of sword qi hanging and sweeping above the Nether Lake like the [Silver Thread Fall] laid down by Ling Chenzi before.

Without the Life and Death Dao Domain’s cleansing and extermination—

Even if those filthy creatures were cut down by sword qi, they didn’t immediately vanish!

Thus, an extremely bloodstained scene unfolded.

In mere breaths, where Xie Xuanyi stood, mountains of corpses were piled up all around.

These corpses were meant to slowly fall and dissolve into the bottom of the Nether Lake.

But the speed of sword qi slaughter was too fast, far surpassing the speed at which the Nether Lake could dissolve them, and thus... a Corpse Mountain towered!

Even the saintly dharma aspect several zhang high could only reveal half a head in this sea of blood and corpses, and after more than ten breaths, even the saintly dharma aspect was "submerged", with only a strand of snow-white sword qi revealing its sharp tip.

"..."

The Shadow watched this scene with an expressionless face.

This young Sword Cultivator is more troublesome than imagined.

Even without the Life and Death Sword Domain.

The Nether Lake’s creatures still couldn’t penetrate Xie Xuanyi’s surroundings.
