On the very day the Great Han was promoted to an Imperial Dynasty, in the extreme north of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Region, the void suddenly resounded with explosions like the tolling of a bell. The sound reverberated for hundreds of millions of miles, even reaching the Primordial Desolate Region, the Blood Spring Desolate Region, and the Nine Nether Desolate Region.
For some unknown reason, when the sound reached the borders of the Great Han, it vanished without a trace.
In the extreme north of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Region, known by the local demon beasts as the "Sacred Land!", towering peaks layered upon each other, and the primal energy was rich. From afar, it appeared no different from other places. Legend had it that this was the starting point of Venerable Five Yang's arrival in the Savage Realm, and also the place where the Martial Emperor discovered the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body over a million years ago.
For a million years, this place had been a pilgrimage site for countless tribes. The pilgrimage was a pretense; the vast majority wished to bask in its grace and gain something!
Today was no different. Dense figures shuttled through the forest, but suddenly, the distant sky trembled. In an instant, the sky was filled with black clouds, and threads of faint golden light shone through the clouds. The Sacred Land, which had been clear for miles just moments ago, had transformed in the blink of an eye. A dead silence permeated the air, pressing down so heavily that the tribal martial artists present dared not look up.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Heavy impacts, like the body of a colossal demon beast crashing upon the earth, the sound seemed distant but was continuously approaching the Sacred Land. Slowly, the entire land began to shake as if it were cracking open.
As the sounds grew louder and the ground shook more violently, a massive black shadow suddenly flickered between the trees. Observing its appearance, it seemed to be a human figure. Some brave demon beasts raised their heads.
They saw that the distant void was pitch black. A figure tens of feet tall, clad in an imperial robe, with a pale, bloodless face, had his eyes tightly shut. His right hand was raised high above his head. On his palm, a magnificent imperial palace emanated a dense deathly aura. Wrapped in this deathly aura, the imperial palace still had nine golden dragons coiling and soaring above it.
"What is that?"
A fire crow at the Creation Realm stared intently. It seemed that a golden figure was shimmering with golden light above the imperial palace. Within that golden figure was a dark golden skeleton, radiating boundless brilliance, its impact causing the sky to tremble faintly, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"That is..."
A blood phoenix lion at the Creation Realm, looking at the dark golden skeleton, felt its heart suddenly accelerate. It wasn't just him; any Creation Realm martial artist from the top forces and tribes of the various desolate regions knew, more or less, what that dark golden skeleton was!
The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body!
A divine object that had driven the Desolate Lords of all generations to madness, causing them to spend millions of years tirelessly searching.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body, taken by the human Martial Emperor, had now appeared in this place. Such a divine object, if presented to the Desolate Lord, would undoubtedly make one a favored individual in the Desolate Lord's eyes.
"That is definitely a treasure, snatch it quickly!"
Though some tribes did not know what kind of divine object it was, the flowing brilliance indicated that it was no ordinary item.
Greed surged, and countless demon beasts stepped into the void, completely ignoring the figure in the imperial robe. In their eyes, it was clear that this human was already thoroughly dead.
Dense demon beasts, from the top Heavenly Ascendant realm to the Convergence Realm, having dared to travel thousands of miles into the Sacred Land to compete for resources, were surely no mediocre beings!
The emperor's corpse, clad in an imperial robe, its eyes closed, continued to support the imperial palace and strode towards the deepest part of the Sacred Land. Looking at the puppet-like emperor's corpse, the demon beasts became even more frenzied. Gazing at the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body above the imperial palace, their faces contorted with greed, and they all frantically extended their palms towards it!
"Hum~~"
Suddenly, a black mist erupted from the emperor's corpse, exuding immense energy and violently pressing down on the surrounding demon beasts. The surging primal energy, the terrifying deathly stillness, seemed to instantly lock the dense figures in the void into nothingness!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
One by one, demon beast martial artists' faces changed drastically. With terror in their eyes, they watched the spiritless emperor's corpse. Their bodies directly exploded, scattering blood mist and flying limbs!
"Hmph!"
"Such a divine object, how can you lowly ants dare to covet it!"
The blood phoenix lion at the Creation Realm, sneering at all directions, directly extended its palm towards the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body, attempting to seize it.
"This divine object, does your Blood Phoenix Lion clan intend to swallow it whole? Have you asked my Fire Crow clan?"
The fire crow martial artist at the Creation Realm spoke coldly. Seeing the blood phoenix lion's speed unwaning, and instead accelerating, he couldn't help but become enraged. How dare he act so presumptuously in front of him!
He took a step, instantly conjuring a sea of fire. His speed was extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he was neck and neck with the blood phoenix lion.
They glared at each other, then turned their heads to look at the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. This divine object, which had disturbed the Savage Realm for millions of years, now appeared before them, causing their hearts to race with excitement.
The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body could allow a martial artist at the first level of the Nirvana Realm to instantly ascend to the pinnacle of the Nirvana Realm. For millions of years, apart from the mysterious and unfathomable Venerable Five Yang, there had only been one Martial Emperor at the peak Nirvana Realm in the countless tribes of the Savage Realm.
Moreover, that Martial Emperor had only reached the pinnacle of the Savage Realm with the help of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body before them.
Once the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body was seized, it meant a pinnacle Nirvana Realm expert!
They all hoped for their Desolate Lord to reach the pinnacle of the Savage Realm. Such a divine object could determine the power of the entire Savage Realm!
The sole supreme being of the Savage Realm!
"Boom~~"
Just as the two were rapidly approaching the emperor's corpse, the emperor's corpse suddenly tilted its head slightly. Its tightly shut eyes looked directly in their direction.
It was these closed eyes that made the blood phoenix lion and the fire crow halt their steps instantly!
"Boom!"
The emperor's corpse opened its eyes. They were hollow and dark as ink, like two bottomless abysses, from which two beams of bloody red light suddenly shot out.
The bloody red light traversed the sky. The blood aura and killing intent were so potent that they were far beyond what a living creature could possess. It was genuine deathly stillness, the blood-colored killing intent enveloped the void, the killing intent surged to the heavens, and the width of this bloody red light was immeasurable!
The emperor's corpse, originally human, had now grown tens of feet taller than half a year ago in the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasury, like a giant supporting an imperial palace.
The emperor's corpse, tens of feet tall, the bloody red light shot from its eyes was like two rivers of blood before them.
"What...what the hell is this?"
"No..."
The two were completely unable to move. Their eyes bulged, and as they watched the surging red light, their flesh and skin began to crack, and their blood and flesh churned.
