Chapter 74: Purification of the Undead
The old Daoist from the Dao Extreme Heavenly Sect had a somewhat dazed expression on his face, slightly opening his mouth to say, “Is that really… the Divine Son of the Jun family?”
Even a seasoned saint like him, who had cultivated for many years and had a calm disposition, was utterly astonished, highlighting the immense shock this scene brought to the world.
“That’s right, it is the Divine Son,” the elder from the Jiang family said, his tone also carrying a hint of tremor.
Jun Xiaoyao, being the son of Jiang Rou, could be considered half a member of the Jiang family.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao able to contend with a supreme-level demonic corpse, the elder from the Jiang family was extremely pleased.
“Perhaps it’s time to think of ways to deepen the connection between the Divine Son and our Jiang family, such as a marriage alliance with Luo Li, which would be quite good…”
The elder from the Jiang family had already begun to calculate in his heart how to completely win over Jun Xiaoyao and bind him to the Jiang family.
After all, a prodigy who could contend with a supreme demonic corpse at the Divine Bridge realm was a rare sight throughout countless years in history.
Elder Ji Bangyin from the Ji family was also as stiff as a clay statue, unable to utter a single word.
The shock was simply too immense.
The elder from the Ancestor Dragon Nest and Long Bi Chi were also completely petrified.
Especially Long Bi Chi, who felt a deep sense of fear and helplessness wash over her when she saw Jun Xiaoyao manifesting the Holy Body’s extraordinary phenomenon and suppressing the supreme demonic corpse.
Previously, although Long Bi Chi harbored some trepidation and fear towards Jun Xiaoyao, she still did not believe he was unbeatable.
At the very least, Long Aotian and others, who were still in seclusion, were absolutely qualified to contend with and even defeat Jun Xiaoyao.
But now, witnessing this scene, Long Bi Chi felt dizzy, unable to stand steady.
She now believed that even if Long Aotian came out of seclusion, defeating Jun Xiaoyao would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Let alone others, even Jun Zhantian’s expression momentarily froze.
Then, a wave of intense joy washed over him.
Initially, he thought Jun Xiaoyao’s participation in the Supreme Secret Vault was merely to make an appearance and enhance his reputation.
But now, Jun Xiaoyao’s performance was too dazzling, a true miracle, even shocking Jun Zhantian.
It wouldn’t be long before this news spread throughout the entire Wild Heaven Immortal Domain.
Jun Xiaoyao would become the invincible symbol of the younger generation!
The Jun family’s influence would naturally rise with the tide.
As for the tens of thousands of other cultivators, watching Jun Xiaoyao in the Sky Observation Mirror, being worshipped by myriad saints and effortlessly suppressing the demonic corpse, they were also shaken to their core.
Their eyes were filled with horror and astonishment.
“That Yuan Tian supreme demonic corpse, although its power may be less than one ten-thousandth of its former self, it is still not something the younger generation can contend with,” one cultivator took a deep breath and said.
“Indeed, even those at the Celestial Realm and Divine Fire Realm would find it extremely difficult to deal with this demonic corpse,” an elder from a major power in the Divine Fire Realm slightly shook his head.
“The Jun family’s Divine Son is terrifying indeed…”
All the cultivators present felt their scalps tingle, their hearts unable to calm for a long time.
As for the female cultivators, seeing Jun Xiaoyao in white, transcendent like an immortal, his graceful demeanor nearly made them swoon.
Countless female cultivators blushed, fantasizing about being Jiang Shengyi, able to have intimate contact with Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao inside the Supreme Secret Vault was naturally unaware of the commotion he had caused outside.
All of Jun Xiaoyao’s focus was on dealing with the supreme demonic corpse.
It must be said that the effect of the Holy Body’s extraordinary phenomenon far exceeded Jun Xiaoyao’s expectations.
He originally thought it would be good enough to weaken the supreme demonic corpse’s power by a few degrees.
But he did not expect it to also purify the dark, evil energy within the demonic corpse.
Currently, the power of the supreme demonic corpse had been suppressed to its limit.
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and struck out with a palm.
Carrying the power of the ancient holy body’s blood, it slammed into the chest of the supreme demonic corpse.
The ancient holy body’s blood had a strong restraining ability against evil entities.
With the extraordinary phenomenon suppressing it, the black mist within the supreme demonic corpse was once again dispersed, hissing and emitting white smoke.
The black fur on the supreme demonic corpse began to fall off.
Its blood-red eyes gradually faded into darkness.
Two flickering soul fires, like candles in the wind, lit up within its eye sockets.
Jun Xiaoyao knew that this was the last remnant of Yuan Tian Supreme.
“Junior, is it you who has freed me…”
A series of intermittent thoughts emanated from the soul fire, reaching Jun Xiaoyao.
“That’s right,” Jun Xiaoyao also transmitted his thoughts.
“It is the ancient holy body, no… it is the ancient holy body that has broken the shackles…”
A wave of astonishment came from that thought.
Clearly, Jun Xiaoyao’s ancient holy body that had broken the shackles also surprised Yuan Tian Supreme.
“Senior, why have you fallen to this state?” Jun Xiaoyao inquired through thought.
“Otherworld… a change in the heavens… the source of darkness…”
The thoughts came intermittently.
“Otherworld, source of darkness?” Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
“It seems I see a figure in white, turning their back on the world, suppressing the end of darkness, all alone, making decisions for eternity…”
The remnant soul of Yuan Tian Supreme continued to speak in ways that Jun Xiaoyao could not comprehend.
However, Jun Xiaoyao speculated that the reason Yuan Tian Supreme had fallen, and why his corpse had undergone such a transformation after death, was likely related to the so-called source of darkness and dark matter.
But these were not things Jun Xiaoyao could touch at the moment.
At this time, the remnant soul of Yuan Tian Supreme transmitted again, “You have my inheritance in your brow, the Yuan Huang Dao Sword…”
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback.
As expected of a supreme powerhouse, even with only a remnant soul left, he still possessed such formidable perception.
“Since there is an inheritance… then it is fate… that thing is inside the wooden box…”
“The rest may be in the lower realm… the continent…”
The remnant soul of Yuan Tian Supreme transmitted intermittently, like a candle flickering in the wind, unable to last much longer.
Jun Xiaoyao memorized everything carefully.
“Her family… is also in the lower realm… that ancient talisman is a token, please take care of her family…” the thought of Yuan Tian Supreme conveyed.
Jun Xiaoyao’s gaze deepened.
He began to understand why Ji Xuan, holding the ancient talisman, was not attacked by those demonic corpses, including the Yuan Tian supreme demonic corpse.
It turned out that the ancient talisman was a token between Yuan Tian Supreme and his Dao partner.
And that Dao partner had also left a family in the lower realm.
“Finally, I ask you to let this body return to dust…” the thought of Yuan Tian Supreme said.
Then he actually bowed to Jun Xiaoyao.
This scene left everyone inside and outside the Supreme Secret Vault in shock.
Because Jun Xiaoyao and Yuan Tian Supreme were communicating through thoughts, outsiders could not hear their conversation.
But they could see the supreme corpse bowing to Jun Xiaoyao.
“What is going on? A dignified supreme is actually bowing to the Divine Son of the Jun family?”
Outside the secret vault, everyone gasped, feeling their scalps tingle.
The Divine Son of the Jun family was too unfathomable.
Inside the secret vault, Jun Xiaoyao slightly nodded and transmitted his thoughts, “Senior, rest assured, I will do my best. Please go in peace.”
Jun Xiaoyao waved his hand, and golden spiritual power surged.
The corpse of Yuan Tian Supreme offered no resistance and directly turned into a handful of dust, scattering away.
A generation of supreme had thus dissipated.
At the same time, Ji Xuan on the other side saw this scene, feeling a chill run down his spine, sinking to the depths of despair, his whole body trembling.
