Chapter 2399: Chapter 2397: Immortal Emperor Corpse Chapter 2399: Chapter 2397: Immortal Emperor Corpse In the distance, the crisp hum of a sword echoed through the air.
A Jiang Family cultivator suddenly fell to the ground.
“Family Head, Jiang Tian was slain by Ethan Smith! All twenty or so people with him were also killed.”
The Jiang Clan’s Saint Lord, Jiang Qingfeng, turned pale.
“What?”
His face twisted in shock. They had confirmed earlier that Ethan Smith was seriously injured and couldn’t recover so quickly.
Moreover, the three family heads had brought Saint Weapons with them, leaving no room for failure.
“Is Jacob Harris here?”
Jiang Qingfeng trembled as he asked.
Jiang Tian was the most talented elder of their clan. If he hadn’t died, he would surely have reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm in the future. Now, Jiang Qingfeng feared that the Saint, too, might have been killed, which would spell disaster for the Jiang Family’s future.
“Saint Harris isn’t here.”
The cultivator stammered, still trembling. Just witnessing Ethan Smith slaughter dozens of Jiang Family cultivators almost instantaneously had terrified him to the core. He had yet to recover from the shock.
“Good! Good! Ethan Smith, you’re impressive!”
Jiang Qingfeng gritted his teeth and roared.
“Report, Saint Son Yao Xi was slain by Ethan Smith!”
Another figure rushed out from Thunder Courtyard, his face ashen, and spoke to Yao Clan’s Saint Lord, Yao Shan.
Boom!
A figure appeared beside Edwin Garner and Ella Jenkins.
A violent crackle of thunder and a burst of electric arcs erupted behind him, their speed unable to keep up with Ethan Smith’s silhouette.
“Ethan Smith, you’re dead today. No matter what, I’ll make you die in endless agony. Not even Thunder Courtyard can save you today!”
Yao Shan roared in fury.
“You three families dare to infiltrate my Thunder Courtyard to kill and still feign innocence? Today, you’ll pay the price.”
Earlier, while fighting the three family heads wielding celestial artifacts, they hadn’t had the chance to monitor what was happening inside.
Now, they were fully aware of the situation in Thunder Courtyard.
“So what if we killed? If you dared to harbor this beast, you should’ve anticipated the consequences. If you dare protect him today, I don’t think your Thunder Courtyard needs to exist anymore.”
Yao Shan roared furiously, uttering a sound that resembled an inhuman growl from deep within his throat.
Yao Xi was not merely the Saint Son; he was also Yao Shan’s own nephew.
The slaying of Yao Xi today had thoroughly provoked the reverse scale of his wrath.
Roar!
The ring in Yao Shan’s hand lit up with a blazing radiance, and a figure suddenly manifested in mid-air.
The figure was seated on the body of a dragon, an overwhelming aura of destruction enveloping everyone in its vicinity.
At the moment the figure appeared, its menacing presence suffocated nearly everyone, making it impossible for them to remain standing.
“The corpse of the Immortal Emperor?”
Ethan Smith frowned, sensing a faint trace of familiarity.
*It felt eerily similar to the will of Immortal Emperor Eden Garner that he had faced in the immortal grave.*
“The Yao Family’s Immortal Emperor’s body. Before the emperor died, he sealed all his will into the corpse. The Yao Family Immortal Scripture allows them to commune with this corpse, and it’s Yao Shan’s ultimate shield.”
Edwin Garner spoke gravely.
The Golden Age had descended, and Edwin could not predict the terrifying power this corpse might unleash.
Pa!
Yao Shan clapped his hands, and his consciousness instantly connected to the corpse.
In an instant, the Immortal Emperor’s corpse stood up, its cold and merciless gaze sweeping directly toward Ethan Smith.
“Dean Garner, Ella Jenkins, let me handle this. Keep an eye on the other two. Strike if there’s an opportunity.”
The corpse slightly bent its legs and suddenly propelled itself toward Ethan Smith.
The speed, akin to teleportation, entirely relied on the horrifying explosive power of its body, leaving no room for evasion.
It immediately struck down at Ethan Smith’s head with its palm, but Ethan raised both hands to block.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash, Ethan Smith’s entire body was driven thousands of feet deep into the ground.
He rubbed his sore arms. This power had already reached the might of the Second Level of Tribulation Crossing.
Electric arcs crackled across his body. He transformed into a thunder dragon and burst through the ground, charging toward Yao Shan.
Bang!
A piercing punch was blocked squarely by the Immortal Emperor’s corpse.
“My Yao Family Immortal Saint’s corpse can be wielded at will. Do you think your speed can outmatch an Immortal Emperor?”
Mockery appeared on Yao Shan’s face.
He suddenly posed in a bizarre stance, causing Edwin Garner’s expression to change drastically.
Edwin raised his thunderbolt, unleashing a massive surge of thunderous force.
However, Yun Clan’s Saint Lord Yun Sen intercepted it with the Locking Sky Pearl.
“Don’t be hasty, Dean Garner. Since these two are fighting, let’s just stay out of it.”
Yun Sen smiled faintly.
The Saint’s corpse and Yao Shan simultaneously executed the strange motion, releasing two distinct auras from the corpse.
An aura of peace, light, and joy, juxtaposed with one of destruction, chaos, and rage.
The two utterly opposing forces swirled together violently before converging in the skies above.
“Gods and Demons Chaotic Dance!”
A fist strike erupted, seemingly manifesting scenes of an ancient war. The deafening cries of countless savage battles pierced into Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge.
“Retreat!”
In an instant, apart from Ethan Smith and Yao Shan, everyone else leaped back.
*A surge of immense danger welled up in Ethan Smith’s heart. The power of this Immortal Emperor corpse, combined with the unleashed technique, had reached a peak that ignited a feeling of extreme peril.*
“Chaos, All Creation Extinguished!”
Within Ethan Smith’s dantian, a drop of Mixed Demon Liquid detonated once more.
A surge of chaotic energy burst forth from his body. Almost visibly, his body radiated a jade-like emerald hue.
The energy erupted from his dantian, flowing into his heart.
Boom!
With a muffled explosion, his heart compressed the chaotic power, forcing it to rush through his entire body.
Bam!
Their fists clashed again, and in the collision, flames of annihilation ignited violently across the space.
Space itself shattered, and Thunder Courtyard quaked uncontrollably in the chaos.
Everyone was dumbstruck; even the two family heads, Jiang Tian and Yun Sen, displayed disbelief.
Ethan Smith was sent hurtling backward, slamming into a massive mountain peak.
In an instant, the terrifying force reduced the mountain to countless fragments, blanketing the skies with a dense cloud of dust.
A maniacal laugh echoed from the mountain’s ruins as endless bolts of lightning descended ferociously.
Covered in blood, Ethan Smith floated amidst the lightning, barely holding himself upright.
“Is that it? What a pity this Immortal Emperor corpse can only exert such a meager portion of its power.”
Ethan Smith’s killing intent surged to its peak, and he secretly transmitted a message to Edwin Garner.
Then, in mid-air, he detonated the last drop of Mixed Demon Liquid in his body.
Amid the comprehension of Thunder and Lightning Laws, his Glazed Saint Body grew even more resilient.
Now, even detonating the Mixed Demon Liquid only slightly burdened his body, unlike before when the violent force would cause severe injuries.
His hair flared upward in an instant. Harnessing the chaotic power, he launched himself forward with a kick.
He made the first move, unleashing devastating power.
A brilliant beam of spatial light flickered at the tip of Ethan Smith’s fist.
