Chapter 736: Chapter 604: The King’s Treasure, Beyond Expectation

This sentence "双手劈开生死路, 一刀斩断是非根." is actually not any decree issued by the Emperor, but a Spring couplet.

It was said to be shortly after the founding of Great Yan.

Emperor Taizu had personally written this couplet for a butcher’s family during an incognito visit over Chinese New Year.

It not only matched the butcher’s profession of slaughtering and carving pork but also had an imposing momentum, with an extraordinary underlying intent.

It became the talk of the town for a while and was widely circulated among the people.

In just a little over a year since Great Yan had been established, this meritorious founding Emperor had his Imperial Mausoleum excavated and his corpse stolen by the "Corpse Son".

At this moment, with "Speaking brings the law," he actually invoked the majestic power to cleave a "path of life and death" in this dead-end of the Underworld.

Crack—!

With his hands parted, the Great Yan Ancestor tore open the boundary of life and death.

On the opposite side, the scene from the Yang side began to emerge faintly.

It seemed that the "Corpse Son," who was manipulating the founding Emperor’s corpse, appeared high and mighty, wielding power at will.

In reality, he was prepared to flee at the first moment!

The higher the Magician’s realm, the keener their awareness of danger.

Once the Sealing Boundary formed, an icy killing intent immediately shrouded his heart.

Unable to fight! He must run!

Even Wang Yuan, who was invincible among his peers and even capable of defeating enemies above his level, did not dare to confront the Qin Law’s Dharma Net and the Twelve Metal Figures head-on.

Naturally, he was even less capable.

If he could truly cultivate the "Ninety-Nine Royal Dharma Images" and gain the capabilities of a Demi Immortal, perhaps he might dare to take a couple of moves, but for now, it was certainly best to prioritize preservation.

If he had used this move before Wang Yuan escaped to the Yang side, he might have indeed had a chance to escape by surprise.

Unfortunately...

"Dharma Image Realm demons are indeed difficult to deal with, but little do they know our Great Qin Empire communicates between Yin and Yang, each side reflecting the other.

The tactics you used on the Yang side couldn’t possibly affect our Great Qin Soldiers a second time.

Imperial Decree: The Dharma Net is wide-spread, sparse but missing nothing!"

The Martial Saint leading the army to encircle the group of Magicians was named Meng Shao, a descendant of Meng Tian, the Great General who was responsible for building the Great Wall.

Like Bai Qing of the Yang side, he possessed invincible martial power at the Dharma Image Realm.

Wang Yuan took a considerable amount of time to swallow the "Lord Hao Li" and stabilize the "Other Shore Three Realms".

During this time, the Yin side’s Generals had already received military skill transmissions from the Yang side.

They were on guard against anyone trying to pull the same trick twice, hopping back and forth between Yin and Yang, while also continuing to chase down the two Dharma Image Realm Sages who had fled to the Yin side.

Although many ghosts and gods of the Underworld had come down to the tomb, these two, being both system masters and top-tier Human Pillar Sacrifices, were undoubtedly the most superior.

Originally intended as a backup measure to capture Wang Yuan, it was used early to give the Corpse Son a taste of its power.

The "path of life and death" that "Speaking brings the law" had torn open only just revealed the scenery of the Yang side at its end.

Before the Corpse Son could rush in, more Prison Law Chains surged from the Yang side’s Qin Law Dharma Net, forming a net ready for the catch.

Had he not dodged swiftly, he nearly would have crashed straight into that vast net, delivering himself right to their doorstep.

"Hahaha, where do you think you’re going, demon!"

Meng Shao transformed into a large bird resembling a fire Phoenix with four claws on its belly.

His body blazed with fierce flames, and each of his eyes bore two bright pupils that flashed with intimidating electricity as they blinked.

It was his "Military Dao Dharma Image: Flame Light Rejuvenation"!

With one grab, he seized one of the emperor’s corpses.

The hot flames on his claws clashed with the Yin energy, sizzling the decaying flesh and skin, emitting an enduringly nauseating stench of decay.

"Ah—!"

The flames of this Chongming Bird obviously burned not just the corpse but also the portion of the Corpse Son’s soul that had settled within it.

This scene was also witnessed by Wang Yuan, whose gaze instinctively flinched.

Walking someone else’s path, leaving them with no way forward, inevitably brought a tinge of guilt, so he quickly turned his head, unable to bear watching any longer.

When his gaze shifted to the "Flame Light Rejuvenation", his brow immediately furrowed deeply.

"Something’s odd!

With heavenly timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony on their side, it’s quite normal for the foreigners to fall into calamity one by one after the years of scheming by the two-faced Great Qin Empire.

But why do the Martial Saints who lead their armies also seem doomed to misfortune?

It’s the same with Bai Qing on the Yang side, and now Meng Shao on the Yin side."

Through his "Eyes as Dark as the Dharma Image Realm," this Small Success Realm Martial Saint Meng Shao appeared just like Bai Qing of the Yang side.

Both were overshadowed by dark clouds, as if a great disaster was imminent!

And yet, the majority of their soldiers under command showed no signs of abnormality; the issue clearly did not stem from the battles but rather from the individuals themselves.

As Wang Yuan connected the oddity in the two men, the "Tribulation Energy" above his own head also fluctuated violently.

This confirmed that the "dark clouds" on the two men were undeniably connected to his own current "Calamity".

Speculating blindly served no purpose; he could only first let his Body, which had already infiltrated Bai Qing’s side, take action to further investigate the intricacies of Great Qin.

Just as Wang Yuan grasped a clue to the "Calamity", his mind racing, there was a change on the battlefield.

"Retreat!"

The eight Emperors waved their hands and shouted in unison.

This command had been uttered by each of the Emperors far more than once, naturally imbuing it with exceptional power.

As if struck by a massive hammer, "Flame Light Rejuvenation" was suddenly repelled by dozens of feet.

He only came to a stop after crashing into the Sealing Boundary constructed by the Twelve Metal Figures.

Had it not been for a comparable realm, coupled with the support of the Military Aura from tens of thousands of Yin Soldiers rendering him nearly impervious to all manners of spells,

were it not for these two words "retreat down," the battle need not have been fought at all.
