Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 519 - 470: Holy Corpse of the Previous Life

Chapter 519: Chapter 470: Holy Corpse of the Previous Life

In the land of the starry sky, atop the ancient Third Pyramid Altar, a withered, skinny corpse had been seated in the lotus position, dessicated and bone-thin without a trace of flesh – its hair brittle and yellow, hanging down. Its expression was one of calm, sitting cross-legged as if in deep meditation.

Gazing at the dried-up corpse, Ye Chen’s eyes widened, his mouth agape, staring blankly at the sight before him with an indescribable shock.

Indeed, this was his body, or to be precise, the body from his past life.

Though it was emaciated, even devoid of any flesh, all dried up, no longer the form of full flesh from the past, he could still sense that familiar origin aura – it was his past life.

He vividly remembered that in his former life, he had been consecrated by seven Ancient Great Powers. His flesh had burnt up, his Primordial Spirit had been on fire, everything was set ablaze. He thought himself lucky to have a sliver of his Primordial Spirit escape death, never expecting his body to be preserved, although nearly no flesh remained.

It was quite strange that the corpse from his former life had been preserved, but he couldn’t fathom why.

Yet inexplicably, he sensed a strange feeling, as if, should he wish it, this corpse from a former life could be revived and utilized by him.

This was a mysterious and wonderful sensation, perhaps due to the connection between his former life and this one.

"The so-called treasure is just a corpse?" The Alliance Army’s mighty figures were quite taken aback, never expecting the treasure atop the Third Pyramid Altar to be a corpse that sent chills down one’s spine, truly unsettling.

"No, this is certainly no ordinary corpse; otherwise, it wouldn’t have the qualifications to remain in this place beyond the Heavenly Pass Channel – it must be an extraordinary corpse," the Heroic Masters said, their astonishment turning to interest. Such a peculiar place couldn’t possibly hold anything ordinary.

Moments later, suddenly, the Heroic Masters’ eyes blazed with an intense light, staring fixedly at the emaciated corpse, even more fervent than looking at the egg upon the first altar.

At that moment, they all felt a special Qi Mechanism flowing from the mummy, filled with dominance and an immortal aura.

Though it looked withered, the Heroic Masters could all glimpse a magnificent and heroic figure seated there, bathed in endless golden light. If it were to fully revive, the entire void would crumble, all creation would tremble, sweeping through the heavens, unmatched.

Everyone felt an awe-inspiring trepidation.

This was shocking, for it was merely an illusion, yet it felt as if it truly existed – they all understood that the dried corpse must have been an overawing presence during its lifetime, having shaken the Ten Thousand Domains.

"I know who he is!"

At this moment, the excitement in the Heroic Masters’ eyes intensified manyfold, and they instantly realized, with shock, with astonishment, and with a burning... excitement!

Yes, excitement!

He was the Combat Saint King –

Qian Yue’s bones!

Qian Yue, known as the Combat Saint King, was the successor of the forbidden Combat Saint Lineage, a supremely legendary figure imbued with myths and stories!

His life was full of legend, originating from the Lower Realm, rising step by step from a world left behind by an Ancient Great Power.

First becoming a ruler of one domain, then battling against various kings, ascending to the Ninth Layer Heaven, traversing the Starry Sky Ancient Road laid down by a Great Power, defeating all kings, stepping over their bones, and competing for the heritage of that Ancient Great Power.

Ultimately surpassing all kings, becoming the sole True King, thereby forging an undying legendary life, immortalized for eons to come.

He inherited the world of that Ancient Great Power, created the Immortal Divine Country, and during an era when the Ten Thousand Domains and Ten Thousand Realms were forbidden from interconnection, he ascended, beginning his own legendary journey in the Ten Thousand Domains.

He had fished up Mutant Species True Dragons like the Dragon Sturgeon, slaughtered elders from the Immortal Sacred Land, entered the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion where innumerable Heavenly Prides gathered, collided indirectly and directly with the Immortal True Kings and Ancient Demon Gods, as a Semi-Saint had slain Saints and even Saint Lords, confronted Immortal True Kings...

His deeds could be recounted effortlessly, each one considered legendary in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, and yet, for Qian Yue, it was all commonplace.

For he himself was a legendary figure, filled with legends, breaking the post-Mythical Era’s Nine-layered Heaven’s chains, becoming the first after the Mythical Era to reach the Ten-layered Heaven Level, achieving perfection, hailed as a true Supreme and successor to what was called the foremost forbidden heritage of the Ten Thousand Domains.

Although he eventually fell due to an earth-shattering event, after so many years, people still remembered a Heavenly Pride who had appeared like a meteor, shining brilliantly for a short time before fading away, but without a doubt, he had been recorded in history.

There were countless who lamented in private that if he had continued to grow, he might have had the potential to ascend to the Human Emperor’s throne, even possibly taken that step to become Emperor against all odds.

What a pity for such an extraordinary Heavenly Pride.

People had thought that the holy corpse of the Combat Saint King had been sacrificed by the seven Ancient Great Powers during the opening of the Heavenly Pass decades ago to seal a Great Evil. They never imagined it still existed.

"So it’s the corpse of the Combat Saint King from the Forbidden Lineage. No wonder, I thought it was shattered, that nothing was left. But it turns out it could persist over time. Perhaps this is the terror of the Ten Thousand Domain’s number one Forbidden Battle Body," each Heroic Master marveled at Qian Yue’s holy corpse, their eyes filled with endless fervor.

Because anyone knew, the Combat Saint King was the last Combat Saint or perhaps the ultimate inheritance of this Forbidden Lineage.

Though he had fallen, it was possible that within his holy corpse, one might still find the inheritance of the Combat Saint lineage.

If one obtained it and successfully cultivated it, they would become the supreme formidable being of the Forbidden Lineage, and henceforth, they would roam the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms without fear.

It should be known that each generation of Combat Saints who matured became an invincible force of their era, if not a Heavenly King, then at least they were of the level of an Ancient Great Power, and it was said that the Combat Saint Ancestor was the most powerful Supreme Emperor of the Mythical Era.

Who would not want to obtain such an inheritance, to at least establish an undying enterprise of a Supreme Sacred Land?

"Regardless of what the other treasures are, the holy corpse of the Combat Saint King must be obtained," this was the mindset of all the Heroic Masters. The inheritance of the Combat Saint lineage was not inferior to that of the Emperor and the King; no one was willing to give up.

Once obtained, establishing another Supreme Sacred Land would not be an issue.

Not only did the Heroic Masters realize this, but at this moment, Ye Gucheng’s eyes also gleamed brightly, with extraordinary Dao Traces intertwining, perceiving everything.

After a while, he sighed softly, "Now I understand who he is. It’s the holy corpse of that Heaven-defying Supreme Qian Yue. I never thought it could still exist in this world, unscathed. I wonder, after reincarnation, will the fusion of two lives be able to rival his living self?"

His words were filled with a sigh of regret, for this peerless strong man had already passed away, leaving only an immortal holy corpse to endure.

Moreover, among the younger generation who later came to know that this was the holy corpse of the Combat Saint King who dominated the skies decades ago and remained invincible among the young, all exhibited complex expressions.

Although they were the proud youth of a new generation, how could they not know of the Combat Saint King from decades past, whose legend still circulated in the Ten Thousand Domains, becoming an epic figure.

Everyone understood that even the Immortal True Kings of the past generation held the Combat Saint King in high regard, seeing him as the greatest adversary of their lives, full of regret that they could not battle him at his peak.

Many felt regret and sorrow for such a Heaven-defying Supreme who had broken the shackles of the nine realms after the Mythical Era; had they witnessed him reaching his true peak, perhaps the declining Combat Saint lineage might have once again risen to glory through him.

Boom—

At that moment, the hitherto silent and immovable Taichu Female Saint suddenly moved. Her momentum immediately became many times stronger than before, spreading a great Dao Power, making the void tremble, the starry sky shudder, and causing all the Heroic Masters to change color.

Her dominance now surpassed anyone present, even causing those Old Immortals approaching their limits to be shocked.

As she unleashed her most powerful presence, everyone could see the peerless beauty of her face, with crystal tears falling, glistening flawlessly as she looked at the meditating holy corpse.

She wept, yet she also smiled, her presence stunning the world, outshining the sun and the moon.

Her smile mixed with tears, and tears mixed with smiles, a strange sight, yet anyone could feel the emotional turbulence in her heart. With her lips slightly parted, an endless yearning could be heard, as she murmured softly, "Little brother, I’ve finally found you."

Ye Chen trembled violently, his mighty Treasure Body unable to stop shaking with excitement, inwardly sighing at the crazed devotion of this woman, wondering how he would face her in the future.

The Heroic Masters were all astonished, then the Palace Master of Yaochi Sacred Land sighed softly, "I had heard that the Taichu Female Saint was the close confidante of that Combat Saint, who came up from the Lower Realm together, only to be separated. Now, it seems right."

On hearing this, the Heroic Masters sighed softly. No wonder, for so many years, the Taichu Female Saint, lauded as one of the most beautiful among the Goddesses of the Ten Thousand Realms, never agreed to the pursuits of many outstanding young men; it turned out she had someone in her heart.

But alas, it was only the remnant of a departed Forbidden Breaker.

Swish—

Ignoring the odd looks of the strong, the Taichu Female Saint stepped out, transversing the void, creating lotuses with each step, heading straight for the somewhat creepy corpse.

This act made all the Heroic Masters change color. Though they knew of the two’s relationship, the holy corpse related to the forbidden inheritance of the Combat Saint lineage, an object of desire for all.

At this moment, the Heroic Masters all soared into the sky, directly vying for the holy corpse.
