Chapter 1514: Chapter 42: Terrifying to the Point of Despair

"Isn’t this just too monstrous?"

Seeing the Evil Corpse swallow all the attacks in one gulp, everyone felt their scalps tingling.

The power of the Evil Corpse was indescribable.

Even after its body had suffered severe damage, it still possessed such terrifying combat power. It’s hard to imagine just how powerful it would be without any injuries.

"This is trouble. We must leave quickly. We can’t possibly fight it. We need to find a way out!" Lin Feng said in a deep voice, grabbing Huo Yihan’s hand and darting away into the distance.

The Evil Corpse had reached a level of power that brought despair.

Trying to fight against the Evil Corpse was simply overestimating one’s abilities.

Lin Feng was well aware of this.

Others were too.

The only way to escape might be to find the exit.

But clearly, this was not an easy task.

Many had attempted to find a way out before, but all to no avail.

And now, it’s even harder to find it, isn’t it?

But, besides this method, what other way is there to leave this eerie small world?

"Run, quickly..." many people cried out in panic, fleeing into the distance.

Meanwhile, the Evil Corpse had already charged into the crowd, launching a frenzied attack on everyone.

The Evil Corpse’s speed was so fast that it was but a blur in the void.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Accompanied by the sounds of tearing.

The hearts of cultivators were being directly ripped out by the Evil Corpse.

The Evil Corpse only consumes hearts.

Other parts, it doesn’t touch.

Once the cultivators’ bodies hit the ground, they were quickly swallowed by the earth.

This was a horrifying scene.

Lin Feng had previously witnessed the Star Sky Ancient City being able to swallow the bodies of cultivators.

He hadn’t expected that not only could the Star Sky Ancient City do this, but the small world within the Taiyuan Taoist Mansion could also swallow the bodies of cultivators.

Many cultivators met a tragic end under the sharp claws of the Evil Corpse, while the others narrowly escaped.

The Evil Corpse didn’t immediately seek out the other cultivators.

Instead, it approached the Earth-shattering Stele.

It grinned maliciously and said, "Lord Taiyuan, did you ever imagine that I would return one day through Tribulation Transfer? You meticulously plotted to eliminate me, but in the end, didn’t you fail?"

"And now you couldn’t even leave behind a corpse. If you knew this day would come, would you still have been so adamant about fighting me to the death, undying and unending?"

The Evil Corpse wiped the blood off the Earth-shattering Stele with its hand, then extended its blood-red tongue to lick the blood from its fingers, sinisterly saying, "What a delicious flavor. This might be the only thing you’ve left behind in the world."

The Evil Corpse took a deep breath, and the blood on the Earth-shattering Stele was devoured by it.

However, the blood had been on the Earth-shattering Stele for so long that it had formed patches of bloodstained marks.

"This Earth-shattering Stele now belongs to me," the Evil Corpse grinned, holding the Earth-shattering Stele in its hands and lifting it.

Then, the Evil Corpse soared into the sky, flying into the distance until it reached a waterfall.

The Evil Corpse placed the Earth-shattering Stele under the waterfall to wash it.

"Wash away the worldly traces, cleanse the past, you shall have a new master."

The Evil Corpse finished washing the Earth-shattering Stele.

Immediately, the Earth-shattering Stele became smooth, revealing some small characters previously obscured by dust.

Now, they became visible.

These characters.

The Evil Corpse seemed to recognize them.

"Bury the Ninth Layer, reverse the countless generations..." the Evil Corpse recited the tiny characters, which numbered three to four thousand, furrowing its brows.

The Earth-shattering Stele contained immense secrets.

And now, the Evil Corpse was coming into contact with these secrets.

But after reading only a few dozen words, the thousands of tiny characters suddenly began to disappear.

"Where did they go?" The Evil Corpse roared in fury.

The Earth-shattering Stele was mysterious. Rumor had it that it was originally one of the eighteen Uninscribed Heavenly Steles, with the characters not etched by human hands.

But manifested by the Earth-shattering Stele itself.

If it could manifest characters on its own.

Then.

It could naturally make these characters disappear as well.

...

And now, those characters vanished.

"Come out, show yourselves!" The Evil Corpse pounded the Earth-shattering Stele with its fists.

But it couldn’t destroy the Earth-shattering Stele at all.

And the characters on the Earth-shattering Stele did not manifest again.

"Damn this stele! For you, I almost perished, yet you hide your secrets."

The Evil Corpse continually cursed.

In the past, this Earth-shattering Stele was something Lord Taiyuan obtained by chance.

Later, the Evil Corpse learned of it and took advantage of Lord Taiyuan’s absence to slaughter his entire family and attempted to seize the Earth-shattering Stele.

But the Evil Corpse didn’t expect that Lord Taiyuan would return in time and seal the Evil Corpse within his own small world.

Lord Taiyuan and the Evil Corpse then engaged in a fierce battle that caused a heavenly collapse and earth split, with no light from the Sun and Moon.

The Evil Corpse used the Earth-shattering Stele to kill Lord Taiyuan.

But before Lin Feng arrived, Lord Taiyuan unleashed his strongest attack, trying to utterly destroy the Evil Corpse.

But unfortunately!

This attack only destroyed the soul of the Evil Corpse but not its physical body.

The Evil Corpse was terrifying in life, and as long as its body was intact, it could one day return through Tribulation Transfer as an Evil Spirit.

Tens of thousands of years passed.

It indeed transformed into an Evil Spirit.

However, the present Evil Corpse was no longer the god it once was.

...

The Evil Corpse could no longer make the characters on the Earth-shattering Stele appear again. In its anger, the Evil Corpse shot skyward, darting away.

The cultivators in this small world were immediately doomed, with many meeting ghastly deaths under the Evil Corpse’s attacks.

This small world wasn’t large, spanning only five hundred miles, and the Evil Corpse, with its cultivator’s divine sense, could encompass the entire small world.

So.

Escaping from the Evil Corpse was practically impossible.

Within a short amount of time, nearly all the cultivators in the small world had been killed by the Evil Corpse.

The Evil Corpse consumed their hearts.

And like before, their bodies were swallowed by the small world.

"Come out..." Over a mountain range, the Evil Corpse slammed a palm down on the mountains below, its voice cold and eerie.

Boom!

The mountain shattered.

Soon after, from within the mountain, a cultivator emerged.

This cultivator was Elder Kunxuan.

Elder Kunxuan fled into the distance, having no intention of battling the Evil Corpse.

Because the Evil Corpse was truly terrifying, and no one could match it.

"You can’t escape..." The Evil Corpse rushed forward, its voice indifferent.

In a forest over a dozen miles away, Lin Feng and Huo Yihan hid there, watching Elder Kunxuan and the Evil Corpse in the sky with heavy expressions.

"Elder Kunxuan is a Divine Fire Realm expert. He should have some hidden means. Who knows if he can withstand the Evil Corpse?" Huo Yihan said, her face somewhat pale.

"It’s useless. The Evil Corpse is too strong; Elder Kunxuan will certainly fall," Lin Feng said, feeling heavy-hearted. The cultivators who entered this small world were likely nearly all dead by now, and would it soon be his and Huo Yihan’s turn?
