Sword Emperor

Looking in the direction that the Nine Li God was pointing at, he saw a huge body several dozen feet away.    

    

Even from afar, he could still smell a rotten smell coming from it.    

    

Obviously, this was a corpse.    

    

He could still vaguely see that the corpse's appearance was quite strange. The first thing that entered his eyes was the goat horn on its head.    

    

As the distance closed, its overall appearance became clearer. There was no flesh on its head, only a skeleton head.    

    

Dark red ghost flames danced within it, looking quite shocking.    

    

As for its body, it was covered with black tentacles that were about an inch long. Now that he was in such an environment, it could be said that he was like a fish in water.    

    

He kept twisting back and forth in the darkness, as if he had sensed the arrival of Sun Bing and the Nine Li God. Those tentacles were even more excited, and they all tried to extend forward.    

    

Unfortunately, these tentacles were only about an inch long, and they were completely useless.    

    

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sun Bing frowned slightly.    

    

He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that these tentacles looked very familiar. They were somewhat similar to the strange Tian who had died a long time ago.    

    

The Nine Li God knew nothing about what Sun Bing was thinking.    

    

At this moment, he kept sizing up the corpse not far away, and muttered softly,    

    

"It seems that the living being from the last great reincarnation was also humanoid, but its appearance was somewhat strange.    

    

"Why do I feel like these tentacles are alive?"    

    

At this point, the Nine Li Great God couldn't help but get closer.    

    

It was precisely because of this action that he directly broke away from the Clear Light under the command of the Chaotic Cyan Lotus.    

    

No matter how exquisite his aura was retracted, he was still a living creature in the end. That dense life force could not be hidden at all.    

    

Sensing the life force, the originally berserk tentacles danced wildly towards the Nine Li Great God.    

    

Most importantly, the tentacles actually cooperated with each other.    

    

Originally, they were only inches long, but after they were combined, they actually moved towards the Nine Li Great God.    

    

Seeing this scene, the Nine Li Great God's brows were filled with shock.    

    

"What... What is going on? They can actually break through the obstruction I set and sense my aura."    

    

Although he was shocked, he did not feel any fear.    

    

He suddenly waved his hand in front of him, and a totem appeared, turning into a scorching heavenly fire that burned the surrounding space-time.    

    

Logically speaking, the fire was extremely hot, and it could burn most of the evil in the world.    

    

Even if Xie Tian was burned by the scorching heavenly fire, he would still suffer a heavy injury.    

    

However, after sensing the hot energy, the tentacles not far away did not retreat at all. They even danced wantonly as if they had gone mad.    

    

Then, these tentacles directly entered the flame totem in front of the two of them.    

    

Originally, they thought that the raging heavenly fire would be able to burn these tentacles to ashes, but they never expected that the originally exuberant flame would dim down at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.    

    

In just a short period of time, the flames from before had already disappeared without a trace.    

    

As for those tentacles, they had obviously grown a little.    

    

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, the face of the Nine Li God was filled with seriousness. At the same time, he retreated back under the Chaotic Cyan Lotus with great vigilance.    

    

After all, he was not a hot-headed young man. After countless years of battle, he had long since become extremely experienced.    

    

It was not a big deal to lose some face. As long as he was safe, everything else was a small matter.    

    

When he returned to the protection of the Chaotic Cyan Lotus, the life force that had dissipated away instantly disappeared without a trace.    

    

As for the many tentacles at this moment, after a short period of shock, they immediately went berserk.    

    

One tentacle after another fought with the entire night, as if they were hunting hounds, continuously searching for the whereabouts of the Nine Li God.    

    

Such a strange scene made Sun Bing and the Nine Li God sweat coldly.    

    

At this moment, they even had a strange premonition that these seemingly unremarkable tentacles were like a brand new life.    

    

Sun Bing said with a solemn expression:    

    

"Big brother, this corpse doesn't seem to be as simple as it looks. We have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders now, so it's best not to cause any trouble."    

    

"Hahahaha, don't worry, brother. I'm not a reckless person."    

    

The Nine Li God laughed, and then said in a soft voice:    

    

"Not to mention that we have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders now, even if there is nothing else, I won't take the risk easily.    

    

After all, in the endless years, I've seen too many people lose their lives out of curiosity.    

    

Since that's the case, why should we follow in their footsteps?    

    

After saying that, the two of them immediately walked to the side without any hesitation.    

    

It had to be said that this choice was indeed very wise. After all, this environment was too unfamiliar to them.    

    

Moreover, the Tree of Dao had warned them before that this place was quite dangerous, and they could not be too curious.    

    

Unfortunately, they wanted to avoid trouble, but the tentacles did not want to let Sun Bing and the Nine Li God go.    

    

It seemed that they had already discovered that they could not find the two of them with their own strength. The tentacles turned around and went into the corpse.    

    

The energy that they had absorbed earlier was continuously released. The corpse that was originally covered in a thick layer of dust actually surged with an inexplicable life force under the infusion of energy.    

    

The dark black skeleton had also gradually become crystal clear, especially the dark red ghost flame in his eye sockets. Now, it seemed to be even more dazzling because of the gathering of energy.    

    

Vaguely, they could hear a distorted and decaying voice slowly sounding:    

    

"Shocked by the sound of the sword..."    

    

This voice contained a myriad of profound mysteries. When it rang out, it was as if the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was rumbling in their ears. A corresponding scene appeared in their minds, profound to the extreme.    

    

Although this was the first time Sun Bing and the Nine Li God had heard this voice, they instantly understood that this was the Dao language from before the Infinite Cataclysm.    

    

However, a mere Dao language could only be considered a small matter. What was even more terrifying was that this corpse had actually revived.    

    

One had to know that the moment they saw this corpse, the two of them had already carefully investigated it. After confirming that there was no life force on it, which was a corpse, they could only barely relax.    

    

Now that such an unexpected change had occurred, it was truly a little terrifying.    

    

After a short moment of shock, the two of them looked at each other and simultaneously rushed into the distance.    

    

Because they had always remembered the advice of the Tree of Dao. Those who could live in such an environment would have extraordinary strength even if they looked miserable.
