Dugu Aotian gave no chance to the opponent to catch their breath, as his palm force was unrelenting. Waves of overwhelming Demonic Qi came crashing down, completely submerging the Blood Sea Palace Elder.
The fourth-tier Golden Immortal Realm Elder from Blood Sea Palace was beaten to death alive by Dugu Aotian.
“You practice the Immortal Blood Sutra, Refining the blood of living beings. Although your cultivation speed is very fast, your foundations are flimsy.”
Liu Yiyi’s Immortal Sword pierced through the forehead of a Blood Sea Palace Elder, destroying their Sea of Consciousness.
Liu Yiyi’s foundation was much more solid than those Demon Sect Elders who blindly pursued advancement in realm, as she cultivated the pure Cultivation Technique of Yaochi Holy Land and had built her foundation on countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. There was no doubt she could triumph over a Demon Sect Elder of a nearly equal realm.
Four Daluo Golden Immortals from Blood Sea Palace had already fallen.
Seeing that the situation was dire, disciples from Blood Sea Palace summoned various Demon Sect magical artifacts and fled Vulture Peak.
The waiting Elders and disciples from Yaochi Holy Land outside intercepted and did not spare a single fleeing disciple of the Demon Sects.
“Not even worth one blow.”
Tiancheng Daoist didn’t entangle with Blood Sea Palace too much. With just a bit of effort, his Immortal Sword burst forth with dazzling Sword Qi, cutting down another Golden Immortal Realm Elder from Blood Sea Palace.
“Protector, we are no match for them, please help us!”
The Elder from Blood Sea Palace, knowing they were no match for Tiancheng Daoist and that if things continued this way, all the people from Blood Sea Palace at this stronghold would meet with disaster, urgently called for help.
A protector?
Tiancheng Daoist suddenly had an ominous premonition.
These thirteen Golden Immortal Realm Elders of Blood Sea Palace weren’t even the main people in charge of this stronghold!
Suddenly, the back mountain of Vulture Peak shook violently, numerous rocks tumbled down, and a sky-covering surge of Demonic Qi emerged.
Tiancheng Daoist, Dugu Aotian, Liu Yiyi, and the others felt a chill down their spines.
This surge of Demonic Qi surpassed the thirteen Golden Immortals of Blood Sea Palace!
“Ahhh!!!”
An Elder from Yaochi Holy Land was impaled by a bloody claw, the scream was heart-wrenching.
With one grip of the blood claw, the Elder’s heart was ripped out.
The people from Yaochi Holy Land felt a chill in their hearts.
An old man with a pale blood-like complexion appeared out of nowhere, and with just one claw, a Daluo Golden Immortal Realm Elder from Yaochi Holy Land was killed just like that.
“You, are you the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord? You joined the Blood Sea Palace?”
Tiancheng Daoist recognized the old man and was utterly shocked.
“This is bad, it’s the notorious Ancient Corpse Demon Lord. This person is wicked beyond measure, a Quasi-Emperor expert who has even killed numerous disciples from the Holy Lands. Fifty thousand years ago, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord provoked our Yaochi, was chased by one of our Supreme Elders, and in order to escape, he vanished without a trace. I didn’t expect him to join the Blood Sea Palace… It seems that Blood Sea Palace is gathering these Demon Chiefs…”
Liu Yiyi briefly explained to Dugu Aotian and the other disciples from the Holy Land who didn’t know about the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord.
The appearance of the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord immediately placed Tiancheng Daoist, Liu Yiyi, Dugu Aotian, and the others in grave danger.
Tiancheng Daoist’s Daoist Robe was soaked with sweat.
He never expected that Vulture Peak would hide such a terrifying Demon Monarch.
The Demonic Cultivation Skills practiced by the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord allowed him to be almost as invisible as the void, which is why he could escape the pursuit of the Supreme Elder from Yaochi Holy Land in the past.
Suddenly, Tiancheng Daoist’s face turned ashen, and his voice trembled slightly, “You, you’ve broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!”
“What?!”
Liu Yiyi and the other Elders from Yaochi Holy Land were shocked and dismayed.
After disappearing for fifty thousand years, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord re-emerged before the world as a Demon Monarch of the Immortal Emperor Realm!
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord looked at everyone coldly, “It is thanks to Blood Sea Palace that I could break through the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Back then, I was chased to near obliteration by your Yaochi Holy Land. Fortunately, I met that person. He simply gave me a few pointers, and I broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, becoming a true Immortal Emperor.”
Tiancheng Daoist was drenched in sweat.
If the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord was still at the Quasi-Emperor Tier, Tiancheng Daoist was confident he could give him a fight.
But the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord was already a first-tier Immortal Emperor.
The difference between a Quasi-Emperor Tier and a first-tier Immortal Emperor Realm was just half a step.
Yet that half step was like a chasm.
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord was different from other Demon Heads who were eager for success. Fifty thousand years ago, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord was already a well-known Demon Monarch with solid Demonic Cultivation Skills.
“Holy Maiden, and you, young hero Dugu, when I attack the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord with all my might, seize the opportunity to ambush him.”
“Departing Light Sword Formation!”
Tiancheng Daoist clenched his teeth tightly and exerted all his strength to control five medium-grade holy artifact level Immortal Swords, forming the Sword Array, with dazzling sword light slashing towards the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord.
“Heavenly Corpse Claw!”
The right hand of the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord took the shape of an eagle’s claw, and a giant dark purple blood claw appeared, with deadly poison, grabbing at the Sword Array.
The Sword Array shuddered violently and was on the brink of collapsing.
Tiancheng Daoist’s forehead throbbed with veins as he tried his best to maintain the Sword Array.
Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian used Spatial Talismans and appeared simultaneously to the left and right of the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord, thrusting an Immortal Sword and a Demon Sword at the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord.
Just as Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian were about to succeed, two figures intercepted their magical treasures.
One of the figures was a Sword Cultivator wielding an Immortal Sword, blocking Liu Yiyi’s Immortal Sword.
The other figure was a Tiger Demon with no magical treasure, using only its powerful physical body and claws to block Dugu Aotian’s Demon Sword.
Oddly, these two figures were devoid of life, exuding an aura of death.
“Not good, it’s the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord’s Corpse Control Secret Method.”
Liu Yiyi recognized one of the figures; it was the corpse of an elder from the Yaochi Holy Land.
Fifty million years ago, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord had killed an elder of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm from the Yaochi Holy Land. Moreover, he had refined the elder’s corpse into a puppet, thus angering the Yaochi Holy Land. This led them to dispatch Supreme Elders to hunt down the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord.
“There’s actually such a Secret Technique…”
Dugu Aotian was intercepted by the Tiger Demon corpse, unable to ambush the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord, and couldn’t help feeling despair.
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord dared to offend the various Holy Lands; his strength and methods were unquestionably formidable.
“The two of you have decent talents, I will refine you into two of the most perfect puppets.”
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord coldly swept his gaze over Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian.
Then, with a surge of Demonic Qi, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord effortlessly destroyed Tiancheng Daoist’s Sword Array with his blood claw.
The blood claw struck Tiancheng Daoist, smashing him into the ground!
The people from Yaochi Holy Land felt tingling on their scalps.
The strength of the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord was simply too formidable, entirely beyond the level of all present.
Having subdued Tiancheng Daoist, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord flicked a finger, and the invisible force sent Liu Yiyi’s Immortal Sword flying.
Liu Yiyi’s pretty face turned pale as she lost her treasure, with the Sword Cultivator puppet’s longsword pressed against her neck.
With another claw, the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord grabbed Dugu Aotian.
Dugu Aotian struggled with all his might but couldn’t break free.
Being a second-tier Golden Immortal, Dugu Aotian realized the vast gulf between himself and the realm of Immortal Emperors.
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord didn’t kill the two of them immediately; his Corpse Control Secret Method required the targets’ intact corpses, or else the puppets refined would be greatly reduced in strength.
“It seems that the Yaochi Holy Land isn’t much to speak of after all. Today, all of you will be buried here to avenge my past grievances. Once I erase your souls, you will become part of my collection of corpse puppets.”
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord emitted two streams of Divine Sense, intending to use the powerful Divine Sense of the Immortal Emperor Realm to directly demolish the Seas of Consciousness of Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi and acquire their corpses.
Just as Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian were about to lose hope, a streak of Seven-Colored Sword Qi slashed through the air, extinguishing the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord’s two strands of Divine Sense.
“Puh!”
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord suddenly suffered a heavy blow, spitting blood profusely, filled with shock and terror.
Another two streaks of Seven-Colored Sword Qi shattered the Sword Cultivator corpse and the Tiger Demon corpse, rescuing Liu Yiyi and Dugu Aotian.

A Daoist dressed in an Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe appeared out of nowhere, staring coldly at the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord: “Ancient Corpse Demon Lord, you have cultivated for over two million years, and yet you are causing trouble by bullying a few juniors. Do you really think the Yaochi Holy Land has no way of dealing with you?”
So strong.
Incredibly strong.
Dugu Aotian felt the overwhelming presence of the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe Sword Cultivator and couldn’t help but be astounded.
This person’s aura, among all the powerful beings Dugu Aotian had encountered, was stronger than even the Grand Freedom Buddha and second only to Lin Xuantong.
The Ancient Corpse Demon Lord, who had been untouchable just moments ago, seemed like a mere plaything in his eyes.
Upon seeing the man in the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe, Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “Father!”
The man completely ignored the Ancient Corpse Demon Lord and turned to look at Dugu Aotian: “What is your relationship with my daughter?”
