Chapter 1280 - 1279: Mutation
A mighty figure of the Fourth Level of Saint Dao was completely corroded in the blink of an eye, turning into a ghastly skeleton!
"What? The Yellow-browed Saint Monk is dead?!"
This scene shocked everyone, bringing a chilling sense of dread.
Hadn’t he just swallowed the Undying Medicine? How could he suddenly die and become this miserable sight?
Could that Undying Medicine be problematic?
Within the skeleton of the Yellow-browed Saint Monk, a Dark Green Pill floated out, its aura significantly stronger than before it was consumed!
"Has this Undying Medicine absorbed all of the Yellow-browed Saint Monk’s Vital Energy?"
Seeing the increasingly powerful Dark Green Pill, Princess Mingzhu’s expression suddenly changed, realizing the problem.
Just as her voice fell, the Dark Green Pill suddenly shot toward the crowd at an astonishing speed!
Puff, puff, puff!
Silhouettes who couldn’t dodge were hit by the Dark Green Pill, their bodies pierced instantly, leaving holes, and swiftly disintegrating into lifeless skeletons!
"Run away!"
Seeing this scene, those who had been eagerly pursuing the Dark Green Pill were frightfully startled; this wasn’t Undying Medicine, but rather a harbinger of death!
In an instant, cries of anguish rang out, with dozens of experts pierced by the Dark Green Pill, and dead in body and spirit. Meanwhile, the Dark Green Pill flashed violently, aggressively piercing toward Ling Chen and his group!
"Not good!"
Just as Ling Chen felt a sense of impending doom, Shen Bingxin acted, condensing True Qi into an ice wall, shielding everyone behind it.
Bang!
The Dark Green Pill slammed into the solid ice wall, instantly cracking it open, seeming about to shatter it, but Xia Yunxin moved, tapping with her finger, sending a sinister beam of light into the ice wall, rapidly repairing the cracks and restoring it.
Failing to break through the ice wall, the Dark Green Pill abruptly ricocheted in the opposite direction, tearing through the sky, and shooting toward other experts, instantly causing new cries of horror.
Sensing the aura emanating from the Dark Green Pill, Ling Chen frowned; having killed many experts, the Undying Medicine’s aura grew stronger, like a snowball with no end.
"Something’s odd with this Undying Medicine; it can’t be allowed to continue its slaughter!"
Ling Chen looked at Shen Bingxin and Xia Yunxin; surely not only them, but also Elder Len, Princess Mingzhu, and the Cyan-robed Sword Saint and other sect leaders should have noticed something was wrong; this Dark Green Pill can’t be allowed to ravage unchecked!
"Trap it!"
Leaders from all sides tacitly acted, using their skills to seal the mischievous Dark Green Pill!
But just as they began, the Dark Green Pill, seemingly possessing Spiritual Wisdom, shot toward the stone platform below, astonishingly falling into the hands of the figure on the throne under many shocked gazes!
Incomprehensible awe filled their hearts as the next surprising scene unfolded; the Dark Green Pill seeped into the figure’s hand and vanished without a trace.
"This?"
Several experts showed disbelief as the item they fought hard for entered Emperor Qinling’s body?
Ling Chen suddenly recalled General Bai’s warning not to touch Qinling Emperor’s spirit coffin and to leave swiftly after obtaining the desired object!
Now, could there be something fishy about Qinling Emperor’s spirit coffin?
Just as Ling Chen pondered this, changes began in Qinling Emperor’s body; his previously pale, skeletal flesh turned livelier, visible to the naked eye, reviving the lifeless corpse with vitality!
"Not good!"
Even the most foolish realized something was wrong; the Dark Green Pill went on a rampage, absorbing many experts’ Vital Energy, now back in Qinling Emperor’s hands, clearly intending to awaken his corpse with the experts’ power!
Swish!
As the entire space plunged into panic, Qinling Emperor on the throne suddenly opened his eyes under many terrified gazes.
"Awakened?"
Ling Chen’s heart surged with horror; this long-fallen Supreme Great Emperor, a legendary figure who once dominated, had awakened after millennia?
"This?"
Everyone’s eyes filled with disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.
Seated on the throne, Qinling Emperor suddenly raised his head, under the celestial crown, a cold, murderous intent emerged on his face, this icy killing intent penetrating the soul!
"Not good, leave here quickly!"
Someone keenly sensed danger and was shaken; even Qinling Emperor emerged, nothing good would follow! Forget the Undying Medicine and Emperor’s treasure; life takes priority!
But as silhouettes swiftly fled, Qinling Emperor raised his palm, slamming it on the throne’s armrest with a buzzing sound; an invisible wave spread, forming a distorted curtain enveloping the entire space!
Bang, bang, bang!
Silhouettes that fled slammed against the spatial curtain; it was like moths to a flame, their bodies, upon contact with the curtain, were tainted by an eerie black flame-like aura, igniting them.
Before cries could sound, the experts’ bodies burned to ash, leaving no bones.
Those intent on escape halted upon witnessing this, afraid to move.
"Ants..."
Qinling Emperor and the throne floated into the air, his dark eyes scanning the crowd, filled with disdain and contempt, "Let your lives serve as this emperor’s rebirth offering..."
The chilling voice instantly echoed across the space, leaving many trapped experts looking grim.
"Qinling Emperor actually wants to be reborn?"
Ling Chen was shocked; Qinling Emperor indeed intended to use the intruders as sacrifices for his resurrection?
