Chapter 356: Chapter 356 War God is Back

"Master! The master has returned!"

In the Earth Territory of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Dark Evil stood in the center of the land, which looked as if it had been struck by a severe earthquake, disheveled and with tattered clothes. The long white bone spur he had been holding was now broken, only half of its original length remaining.

In front of Dark Evil, a dark black Ghost Wolf, covered in wounds and dripping with blood, was pinning a yellow figure to the ground beneath it.

The Earth Element Corpse that was pinned by the Ghost Wolf was also in a miserable state. It was evident from the chaotic surroundings and the condition of these two corpses and the beast that the battle had been fierce.

"Roar!" The Ghost Wolf bared a fierce expression, opened its wide mouth, and revealed its sharp, menacing fangs, aiming for the neck of the Earth Element Corpse below.

"Master! The master has returned!" Suddenly, Dark Evil cried out, turning his head towards the direction of the distant Imperial City of the Yunlai Empire.

"Roar!" The Ghost Wolf, initially biting towards the Earth Element Corpse’s neck, paused when just centimeters away, turned its head, and along with Dark Evil looked towards the faraway Imperial City.

Through the mark left in their bodies by Shi Feng, both the corpse and the beast sensed their master’s aura.

"Your master?" At that moment, the Earth Element Corpse beneath the Ghost Wolf uttered in a weak voice.

Hearing the voice, Dark Evil and the Ghost Wolf simultaneously turned back. Dark Evil walked step by step towards the Ghost Wolf and the Earth Element Corpse, stopped beside the Ghost Wolf, looked down authoritatively and said, "Serve my master, and you shall not die. My master will surely lead us to the pinnacle of Martial Arts and into that unreachable realm!"

Now, as a Fifth-stage Deadly Yin Corpse, Dark Evil’s speech was no longer as choppy and halting as before; it was melodious like the sound of silver bells.

Being both Yin Corpses, connected by a mysterious feeling, Dark Evil did not wish for the Earth Element Corpse to die, and even hoped to fight alongside him.

Besides being both Yin Corpses, there was also a reverence for the strong—though they had won the battle, it was a narrow victory achieved in conjunction with the Ghost Wolf. The power of the Earth Element Corpse was, in fact, superior to theirs.

"You won’t kill me?" The Earth Element Corpse spoke in an incredulous tone. Unlike Dark Evil, the body’s original owner had died for unknown reasons and was buried in this Earth Territory, where the corpse mutated into an Earth Element Corpse and gradually developed consciousness. Thus, except for this physical body, the Earth Element Corpse had nothing to do with its body’s original owner.

After gaining consciousness, the Earth Element Corpse lived like a wild beast in the brutal Earth Territory. In his consciousness, the defeated were meant only to die, because all the demon beasts he had defeated before died under his spear, including the beast lord who ruled over the Earth Territory.

To be defeated was to die. For him, who grew up in the Earth Territory of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it was that simple and pure.

"Willing to live, serve to live, not willing to serve, die!" declared Dark Evil.

"Live!" The Earth Element Corpse answered simply. Only by living could he have everything; death would leave him with nothing.

"Roar!" Upon hearing the words of the Earth Element Corpse, Dark Evil growled, his massive dark body moving off the Earth Element Corpse. With a powerful leap, he jumped onto the back of the Ghost Wolf, stood proudly, and said calmly, "Let’s go! Let’s find our master!"

"Roar!"

...

In the Imperial City of the Yunlai Empire, near a huge altar that had been built but not engraved with any runes, although the Transmission Altar was only half-completed, rows of Golden-armored Guards still guarded the area around the Transmission Array.

"I really wonder when this Transmission Array will be activated so we can use it. I’ve never ridden such a high-end Space Transmission Array in my life," said one guard to his fellow Golden-armored Guard.

"I believe it won’t be long before we can use it. Nowadays, our Yunlai Empire is indeed a mighty nation! Even the Heavenly Mist Empire has been eradicated by our Yunlai Empire!" the guard beside him proudly proclaimed.

"Yes! Before, our Yunlai Empire had to watch the face of the Heavenly Mist Empire, haha, but now, that empire no longer exists, that’ll show them to act arrogant in our Yunlai Empire!"

"Our Yunlai Empire is an empire with the existence of the War God! Lord War God is undefeated and unstoppable in battle!" As they spoke of their War God, their faces filled with reverence.

Suddenly, at that moment, the guarded Space Transmission Array burst into a dazzling white light, surprising the Golden-armored Guards who had never ridden in a Space Transmission Array and were unsure of what was happening.

"What’s going on? What happened to the Transmission Array?" someone exclaimed loudly.

"Everyone be careful, quickly back away from the Transmission Altar, something might be wrong with the altar, by the looks of it, it might explode!"

"Ah!"

Amid screams, the Golden-armored Guards hastily retreated, but then, those retreating saw that the intense white light had disappeared and a group of people appeared on the large altar.

This group consisted of dozens of people, mostly dressed in white, loose Alchemist robes. A black figure in the middle of the white figures was particularly eye-catching.

"War! Lord War God! Lord War God has returned! All hail Lord War God!" One guard recognized the black figure and immediately knelt down, devoutly shouting.

"War God! All hail Lord War God!"

"All hail Lord War God!"

"All hail Lord War God!"

One after another, the Golden-armored Guards also immediately knelt toward the War God on the altar, their faces full of respectful and devout continuous shouts. The War God, for these former soldiers of the Yunlai Empire, was already deeply revered.

Some soldiers who had never seen the War God were now excited to behold his true face. This was the War God, the undefeated legend of the Yunlai Empire who single-handedly eradicated the Imperial Family of the Heavenly Mist Empire and made numerous nations bow down before him!

Some knowledgeable people also immediately recognized the people in white robes on the altar... all highly revered Alchemists, and looking at the badges on their shoulders, there were several Fourth-stage Technique Refining Masters, and the Alchemist standing beside the War God was even the legendary Fifth-stage Alchemist!

Fifth-stage Alchemists, for the former Yunlai Empire, were like beings of legend. And now the War God stood among these Alchemists, these many alchemists now seemed to be guarding the War God like a shield... could it be...these are the Alchemist guards of Lord War God?
