Chapter 71: The Supreme-Level Corpse Emerges

Inside the pitch-black divine tower, thick gray mist was swirling.

Upon reaching this place, the gray mist seemed to transform into black mist, incredibly dense.

Ji Xuan's figure surged forward, using the bone of the Saint King to protect himself from the erosion of the black mist.

Behind him, Jun Xiaoyao also entered the divine tower.

As for the others, including Jiang Shengyi, they were outside dealing with the remaining demon corpses.

In just a short moment, Ji Xuan had already rushed to the top of the tower.

At the top, there was a pitch-black coffin bound by hundreds of golden chains.

From within that coffin emanated a supreme aura of pressure.

The source of the pressure from the Yuan Tian secret treasure came from this pitch-black coffin.

"I finally found it, just as recorded in the ancient texts..." Ji Xuan took a deep breath.

While excited, he also felt a sense of tension.

If the records were correct, that treasure should be inside this coffin.

However, what made Ji Xuan hesitate slightly was that the source of the gray mist also came from this coffin.

Even a fool could understand that something unusual must have occurred within this coffin.

If it were to be opened, the consequences would be unpredictable.

At that moment, Jun Xiaoyao's figure also appeared.

Dressed in white, he seemed ethereal and out of place in this environment.

When Jun Xiaoyao's gaze fell upon the coffin radiating supreme power, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

"There should be the corpse of the Yuan Tian Supreme inside, but why is it bound with golden chains?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered.

Those golden chains seemed more like a form of sealing.

Connecting this with the ominous gray mist, Jun Xiaoyao had a rough guess in his mind.

He looked back at Ji Xuan, his expression cold and indifferent.

"Do you think you still have the power to resist before this divine son?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"Jun Xiaoyao, I came here fully prepared. Do you really think you can control everything?" Ji Xuan retorted.

After saying this, he directly activated the ancient talisman in his hand with his magical power.

In an instant, the ancient talisman burst forth with a rain of light, and runes emerged.

The hundreds of golden chains entwined around the coffin began to tremble with a rustling sound.

The entire coffin started to rumble.

Jun Xiaoyao stood still, showing no intention of intervening.

This left Ji Xuan extremely surprised, and he couldn't help but ask, "Jun Xiaoyao, aren't you going to stop me?"

Jun Xiaoyao's actions puzzled him.

"Stop? Why should I stop you? You came to the Yuan Tian secret treasure with a certain purpose, perhaps to seek some great opportunity."

"And that opportunity, if this divine son is not mistaken, should be within that coffin."

Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.

Ji Xuan's expression tightened as he looked at Jun Xiaoyao, a deep wariness hidden in his gaze.

A prodigy with mere martial power was not worth fearing.

But if, alongside martial power, there was also cunning and strategy, that would be truly terrifying.

Without a doubt, Jun Xiaoyao was that kind of person.

Ji Xuan's thoughts were completely guessed by Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hmph, so you want to watch me seize the opportunity?" Ji Xuan scoffed.

"This divine son does not like to get his hands dirty. With you doing the work, I can just take it directly. Isn't that better?" Jun Xiaoyao replied with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Ji Xuan's face turned pale and purple.

If he weren't afraid of being unable to defeat Jun Xiaoyao, he would have probably thrown a punch by now.

"Hmph, I have the ancient talisman to protect me. In the end, it will be you who suffers!" Ji Xuan thought coldly.

At that moment, the hundreds of golden chains finally completely unraveled.

In an instant, the coffin lid was blasted open, and a terrifying black mist surged out like smoke.

Along with it erupted an extreme malevolence and supreme pressure!

Even Ji Xuan, who knew some details, felt his heart race with unease.

In contrast, Jun Xiaoyao remained calm, only slightly furrowing his brows.

A towering figure emerged from the black mist.

The figure wore an ancient golden robe, had a square face, and exuded overwhelming malevolence.

Its hollow eyes glowed with a blood-red light.

Its entire body was covered in long black hair, indistinguishable from the demon corpses outside.

"This is... the Yuan Tian Supreme."

Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

How could a dignified supreme powerhouse have fallen to this state?

Roar!

The supreme demon corpse let out a monstrous roar.

Its voice seemed to transform into sound waves that shook the entire top of the pitch-black divine tower!

Ji Xuan's legs trembled, nearly collapsing to the ground.

The pressure was too overwhelming; an ordinary God Bridge realm cultivator would likely have their heart shattered by this force.

A supreme being is a supreme being; even after so many years of death, just a corpse still instills fear.

In contrast, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged, appearing worlds apart from Ji Xuan's fear.

"Just a supreme demon corpse that has been dead for who knows how long..." Jun Xiaoyao said.

If it were a true supreme powerhouse, even if Jun Xiaoyao were incredibly powerful, he would have no means to resist.

But this Yuan Tian Supreme's demon corpse had lost all magical power after death, with no divine abilities left.

Moreover, its body had been corroded by the black mist, severely weakening its physical strength.

Now, this supreme demon corpse possessed at most one ten-thousandth of the Yuan Tian Supreme's strength when alive.

However, even with just one ten-thousandth, it was still not something that a God Bridge realm or even a Return to One realm prodigy could contend with.

Roar!

The supreme demon corpse roared, its blood-red eyes first locking onto the closer Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan hurriedly gripped the ancient talisman.

In the blood-red eyes of the supreme demon corpse, there seemed to be a faint ripple.

Then, it turned its gaze to Jun Xiaoyao.

Boom!

The supreme demon corpse attacked, devoid of any rationality.

Its hands struck out, causing the space to tremble.

Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

He wanted to see just how strong this supreme demon corpse, with only one ten-thousandth of its peak strength, truly was.

Jun Xiaoyao activated the Divine Elephant Suppression Prison technique, and the phantom of an ancient divine elephant manifested above him, resembling a golden ancient mountain, suppressing the universe.

Seven hundred million pounds of divine power erupted from his body.

Moreover, this time, Jun Xiaoyao finally activated the power of the Ancient Sacred Body itself.

In an instant, golden blood surged violently.

The blood of the Ancient Sacred Body also had the effect of suppressing and weakening evil entities.

The power of the supreme demon corpse was weakened by more than thirty percent by the blood of the Ancient Sacred Body.

Jun Xiaoyao activated his dragon energy, and a green light surged beneath his skin, spreading out into dragon scales.

The defensive technique of the Divine Elephant Suppression Prison was activated, and the Guardian of the Underworld also coalesced.

Jun Xiaoyao's left hand formed the Human King Seal while his right hand executed the Dragon Fist, unleashing two powerful moves simultaneously.

In terms of offense and defense, Jun Xiaoyao had reached the pinnacle.

He rarely fought with such full force.

This terrifying fluctuation also alerted Jiang Shengyi, Jun Xuehuang, and others outside the divine tower.

"That is the aura of a supreme being, a supreme-level demon corpse!" Jiang Shengyi's expression suddenly changed.

That was a supreme demon corpse, not something the younger generation of prodigies could contend with.

Even some older experts at the Celestial Realm or Divine Fire Realm would not be able to withstand it.

"Divine Son!" Jun Xuehuang and Jun Zhangjian's faces changed dramatically.

They had never expected that Jun Xiaoyao would actually confront a supreme demon corpse.

In their minds, this was almost an impossible feat.

"Is this Jun Xiaoyao really insane? He actually dares to challenge a supreme-level demon corpse?" Ji Xuan was extremely astonished, then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He had always been at a disadvantage against Jun Xiaoyao.

Now he could finally witness Jun Xiaoyao's miserable state.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of Ji Xuan, Jiang Shengyi, Jun Xuehuang, and others.

The fully committed Jun Xiaoyao collided violently with the supreme demon corpse.

In an instant, the space trembled, and the heavens and earth shattered!

The golden divine radiance of the Ancient Sacred Body and the overwhelming malevolence of the supreme demon corpse spread out simultaneously!
