Strongest War Emperor

The Jade Coffin emerged from the black chasm, leaving everyone utterly stunned...

Before anyone could react, a violent, vicious aura, seemingly capable of toppling mountains and overturning the heavens, erupted like a volcano!

Billowing black gas surged forward like a flood, carrying with it sky-high Vengeful Qi and an endless sense of pressure!

In an instant, the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves filled the Twin Towers Hall as a tragic mist spread everywhere.

A heart-wrenching, gut-twisting Vengeful Qi saturated every inch of space.

It made people feel as if they had been plunged into the depths of the Netherworld Hell, their hearts and souls shattering from terror!

"Dingdang, protect them!"

Shen Lang shouted softly as the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads within him began to circulate. Surging Buddha Power manifested as a brilliant Buddha Light, beginning to counteract the intensely concentrated black gas.

Xue Dangdang’s almond-shaped eyes went wide as she snapped, "You bastard! Your life is still in my hands. What right do you have to order me around?"

"This isn’t an order. How about we call it a request?" Shen Lang said with a helpless, wry smile.

As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the black Jade Coffin, unblinking.

Xue Dangdang laughed smugly. "Begging me? Well, I suppose I can consider it."

Though she said she’d consider it, her hands were already moving, slowly shaking the Bell she held.

"TING-A-LING-LING..."

A crisp, pleasant sound rang out. Waves of Spirit Patterns rippled outward, forcefully pushing back the black gas in front of them.

A huge dome of light slowly formed, enveloping everyone inside.

At that moment, the crowd finally let out a huge sigh of relief. They had felt as if mountains were crushing them, the immense pressure nearly making them vomit blood. The Vengeful Qi in the black gas had been eroding their minds, almost driving them mad.

Many could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground with a THUD, drenched in cold sweat!

Everyone’s eyes were filled with irrepressible terror!

A Fifth Level Zombie was already enough to drive people to despair. This unknown existence before them was clearly above a Fifth Level Zombie!

And what was above a Fifth Level Zombie?

Whether it was a Ghost or a Zombie, how could this group of people possibly handle a being that surpassed a Fifth Level Zombie?

"Holy crap, what a top-quality, exquisite coffin! Look at the material, the patterns, the craftsmanship, and the ancient runes carved on it... If I had a coffin like this, it would be worth dying for..."

Amidst this strange, ominous, and high-pressure atmosphere, a very inappropriate voice suddenly piped up from Shen Lang.

Shen Lang couldn’t help but roll his eyes repeatedly.

That rascal, the Ghost King, had one coffin smashed to pieces by Nalan Ziyun, then got another one only for it to be smashed to pieces as well.

’It seems his obsession with coffins is truly hard to get rid of...’

If the Ghost King had been spouting such nonsense at any other time, many people probably would have burst out laughing.

Unfortunately, no one made a sound. They all just stared at the black Jade Coffin, their faces etched with fear.

This vast and unfathomable, terrifying Corpse Qi was emanating from that very Jade Coffin!

"What in the world is this thing? How can it be so terrifying..."

Many began to tremble all over, looking around in a daze, subconsciously searching for an exit to flee for their lives!

"GAK GAK GAK... The children have done well, preparing so much food for me..."

A sharp voice, like metal grinding against metal, came from within the Jade Coffin.

"Ten thousand years! It’s been a full ten thousand years! This King has finally awoken!"

"You bastards from the Celestial Purity Sect! Just wait until I open the rift and absorb the Supreme Yin Qi here. Your time of death will have arrived!"

"Just you wait! We will slaughter every last one of you from the Celestial Purity Sect!"

The voice seemed to travel from an infinite distance, sounding ethereal and making it impossible to pinpoint its source.

But everyone knew very well that the voice was coming from inside the Jade Coffin!

The voice carried a bone-chilling hatred and layers of resentment. Just hearing it made one’s head spin, as if they were in the Netherworld Hell.

’How is the Zombie here connected to the Celestial Purity Sect?’ Shen Lang was greatly shocked and grew even more cautious.

’An existence that has ties to the Celestial Purity Sect... I’m afraid there’s no one here who can handle that!’

Shen Lang was just about to activate his Silver Eyes of Truth to investigate the contents of the Jade Coffin...

But then, Zuo Wentian’s voice sounded in his mind: "Master, do not worry. This creature is a Seventh Level Zombie King, refined from the corpse of a Northern Wilderness Barbarian Clan expert. Its original Cultivation was equivalent to the Emperor Martial Realm Third Heaven. Now, it is severely injured and has not recovered. Its Cultivation is greatly damaged, and it can’t even control the Corpse Qi constantly leaking from its body. It’s merely equivalent to the King Martial Realm Fourth Heaven."

"Hmph. Even if I can’t remember everything from my past, since I was the one who founded the Celestial Purity Sect, how could a minor character like this be worthy of having any connection to it? Him? He’s not worthy!"

Shen Lang retorted coldly in his mind, "Worthy... Worthy my ass! You might not care about a King Martial Realm Fourth Heaven Zombie, but how are we supposed to defeat it?"

"Especially since I already borrowed a huge amount of your Soul Power when we were investigating the Valley of Death. Right now, even if you took action personally, you probably couldn’t do anything to it, right? And you’re still putting on airs and bragging?"

"Er..." Zuo Wentian was speechless and obediently shut his mouth.

At this moment, another burst of wild laughter came from the Jade Coffin.

Then, a series of buzzing sounds emanated from the black Jade Coffin, and hundreds of pitch-black characters shot out from its surface.

These characters swirled in the air, stirring up endless Corpse Qi, and immediately condensed into eight massive, ten-foot-tall phantoms.

Some of these phantoms were tall and burly, clad in armor and wielding massive hammers and Giant Blades;

Others were lanky and tall, with two horns growing from their heads and a bloodthirsty red light gleaming in their huge eye sockets. Each one had the appearance of a humanoid Demon.

As soon as the eight humanoid Demons took form, without a word, they immediately brandished their weapons, let out hoarse and grating screeches, and charged straight for Shen Lang at the very front.

"Hey, get back!"

Xue Dangdang, who was behind him, sensed the powerful aura of the Demons and shouted softly.

The next moment, Xue Dangdang waved her jade-like hand. A majestic swath of Sword Qi flew past Shen Lang and swept outward, instantly slicing the eight terrifying Demons in two!

"Hmph, they’re pathetically weak!" Xue Dangdang declared, standing proudly as she withdrew her longsword.

The crowd behind them immediately cheered.

However, their cheers didn’t last long before coming to an abrupt halt!

The Demons, which had been split in two and were on the verge of dissipating, cackled strangely and reformed once again!

It was as if they hadn’t been harmed at all!

"Huh? How can this be? What is this stuff?" Xue Dangdang looked a little embarrassed, her face flushing slightly as she asked.

Shen Lang didn’t answer. A biting, majestic, and bone-chilling Sword Intent suddenly radiated from his body.

He, who had been concealing his aura and was temporarily overlooked, once again displayed his unparalleled, domineering presence!

The light of the Immortal Celestial Saber flared. A beam of unparalleled, domineering saber light, carrying a soul-shaking Thunder Power, condensed into a rainbow-like arc. It ascended, split the black mist, and cleaved through the middle of the fastest and strongest charging Demon!

The tall, terrifying Demon let out a miserable howl and was directly split in two!

Although this slash was far from as grand and astonishing as Xue Dangdang’s sword strike, and its power and momentum were much weaker,

it was condensed with formidable Thunder Power and a Sword Intent that could sever eternity. After it sliced the Demon apart, the two halves of its body were completely entangled in thunder and lightning, unable to merge back together no matter what!

Moreover, under the bombardment of the thunder and lightning, the characters within the Demon’s body were being annihilated one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At the same time, boundless Buddha Light erupted from Shen Lang’s body, making him look like a Buddhist Vajra descending upon the world. He forcefully carved out a space within the darkness!

The other seven Demons shrieked and retreated repeatedly, terrified of the Buddha Light.

However, after retreating several dozen meters, the Buddha Power had weakened considerably, and the Demons immediately began to shriek and brandish their claws again.

Only then did Shen Lang say, "The characters inside these Demons are a Secret Technique from the infamous Demonic Dao Sect, the Corpse Yin Sect. They are impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire. They can only be completely destroyed by using the Supreme Yang and Firmness of Thunder Power, or by using overwhelming force to instantly annihilate the characters."

"If you don’t destroy these characters, they are virtually immortal in a place like this, where the Corpse Qi is extremely dense."

Xue Dangdang said, half-convinced, "Huh? They’re that powerful? But in the face of absolute power, this kind of trash can only last a few moves against me at most. Even if I don’t know how to wield Thunder Power, it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to kill them. Hmph!"

"Mm," Shen Lang responded softly.

Xue Dangdang’s face flushed red. She bit her lip and said, "What do you mean, ’mm’? You don’t believe I can kill them? I have a King Martial Realm Cultivation!"

After a pause, she added, "I really do have a King Martial Realm Cultivation!"

The moment her voice fell, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air!

Yuan Bupu, Flower Soul, and Yin Qianshang. The moment the three appeared, they instantly surrounded the black Jade Coffin.

Yin Qianshang shook his arms, and two massive chains, flashing with lightning and crisscrossed with Thunder Power, appeared in his hands. With a CLANGING sound, they shot out like pythons and instantly wrapped around the huge black Jade Coffin four times!

On the other side, Yuan Bupu let out a furious roar, reached out his hands, and instantly grabbed the other end of the two chains, pulling them taut!

The ferocious Thunder Power made Yuan Bupu’s hands sizzle, continuously emitting black smoke.

Yet, his eyes were wide with fury as he held onto the Thunderbolt Chains, refusing to let go!

At the same time, a graceful figure descended headfirst. Her hands shot out like lightning, releasing streaks of Spirit Light. In an instant, petals infused with a soft, yin-like power covered the entire black Jade Coffin!

The three were actually trying to seal the Jade Coffin directly!

At this moment, all three were using their full strength, their auras as King Martial Realm experts on full display!

The crowd was completely dumbfounded...

For three King Martial Realm experts to appear at such a critical moment was certainly cause for elation.

But the sudden turn of events still gave everyone a huge shock!

Meanwhile, Xue Dangdang, who was protecting the crowd from the rear, had a hostile look in her eyes. She bit her lip and shot Shen Lang a vicious glare.

’It’s a good thing I didn’t make a move against Shen Lang earlier,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, the one fleeing in disgrace wouldn’t have been him, but me...’

While everyone was watching, dumbstruck, Shen Lang had already lunged forward. His saber flashed, delivering seven slashes in an instant!

"Thunder Control Divine Technique—Boundless Thunder Prison!"

With the Fourth Floor of the "Thunder Control Divine Technique" activated, thunder and lightning instantly began to rage throughout the hall.

The incomparably fierce thunder and lightning fused with the peerlessly sharp Sword Intent, instantly catching up to the seven Demons that had turned to flee!
