Chapter 600: Chapter 590: Corpse Emperor

"Ahead!" Shi Feng had just collected 1,522 Dark Corpse Army soldiers when his expression suddenly turned solemn. He lifted his head and looked towards the endless horizon of the parched land.

"Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping!" A series of metallic clanging sounds echoed from the distance, one after another.

Shi Feng looked in that direction, the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand again. Through the Bloodthirsty Sword, Shi Feng sensed the Sacred Sword Fragment, and the source of the metallic sounds was in the same direction.

"Young Master Feng, what’s that sound over there?" Xue Wuhen came up beside Shi Feng, looking with him towards the direction of the metallic sounds and asked.

"Perhaps, that sound is some ruckus created by the Corpse Emperor," said Shi Feng. "Let’s go! Those who aren’t afraid of death, come and see!"

After hearing Shi Feng’s words, Xue Wuhen shook his head and then laughed, "Naturally, one would fear death, but since we are already here, we must check it out."

Following that, Shi Feng and Xue Wuhen continued to pierce through the air, flying towards the direction of the metallic clanging sounds.

"Ping Ping Ping! Ping Ping Ping!" As Shi Feng and Xue Wuhen made their way, the sounds of metal clashing grew louder and more intense.

"Ao!" A roar that seemed to come from ancient beasts abruptly rose, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" As the roar echoed, the ground suddenly began to boil tumultuously, shaking and erupting fiercely.

Looking towards the endlessly extending and violently disturbed ground in the distance, Xue Wuhen spoke, "It seems there’s no doubt about it, that commotion must be the doing of the Corpse Emperor."

Hearing the words of Xue Wuhen flying beside him, Shi Feng nodded and said, "That thing must not be far from us now!"

Afterward, the two of them accelerated their flying speed. It wasn’t long before a towering black iron pillar, which seemed to connect with the sky, appeared in front of the two.

"It seems we have arrived!" Looking at the black iron pillar, Shi Feng murmured.

"Ao! Ao! Ao! Ao!" Another roar, as if from a raging fierce beast, burst forth, echoing violently throughout the realm.

The ground once again erupted into violent agitation, with a thunderous roar.

As Shi Feng and Xue Wuhen approached the black iron pillar, they saw at its base another naked figure, pitch black as if made of charcoal.

"Is that the Corpse Emperor?" Glimpsing the figure in black, Xue Wuhen murmured before saying again, "It must be, such a powerful aura!"

"Corpse Emperor!" Looking at the figure black as ink, Shi Feng also spoke. Shi Feng saw that the black figure was bound from head to toe with thick black iron chains.

His hands, knees, neck, chest, and abdomen were all pierced with black nails shaped like daggers, anchoring him to the black iron pillar.

Between his brows, Shi Feng saw a blood-colored dagger, plunged into his forehead, piercing through the back of his head and into the black iron pillar behind him!

"Sacred Sword Fragment!" Recognizing the blood-colored dagger nailed into the Corpse Emperor’s forehead, Shi Feng instantly realized that the dagger was made from a Sacred Sword Fragment!

"It seems that the Corpse Control Great Emperor had obtained this Sacred Sword Fragment and before his final downfall, had forged it into the shape of this dagger, using it as one of the tools to seal the Corpse Emperor," Shi Feng said.

Xueh Wuheng also saw the blood-colored dagger nailed between the Corpse Emperor’s eyebrows and glanced at the Bloodthirsty Sword in Shi Feng’s hand, asking, "Young Master Feng, could it be that dagger is the Mystical Artifact Shard you’re searching for?"

"Exactly!" Shi Feng nodded in response.

"This won’t be easy to take!" Xueh Wuheng shook his head and said. Although the Corpse Emperor was sealed, even with him sealed there, they dared not go and retrieve the dagger.

"Aooo! Aooo! Aooo! Aooo!" Just then, the Corpse Emperor once again went into a frenzy, with a vicious and fierce expression on its face, howling at the sky in anger and shouting, its body also violently struggling.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" Despite being sealed, the Corpse Emperor’s body still burst into violent motion during its struggle, the black iron chains on its body and the large black iron pillar behind it constantly colliding violently, producing a booming metallic clash.

The ground, once again, began to boil and tremble under the Corpse Emperor’s fury!

"Aooo! Aooo! Aooo!"

Shi Feng looked down at the raging Corpse Emperor below with a grave expression.

Seeing that Shi Feng was silent, as if pondering something, Xueh Wuheng also chose not to speak and didn’t disturb Shi Feng.

"Aooo aooo! Human Clan! Human Clan!" Just then, the Corpse Emperor howling at the sky noticed Shi Feng and Xueh Wuheng, and let out a grating, awkward cry. The sound came off as if it were from a hermit who had been cut off from the world and hadn’t spoken for years, suddenly trying to speak.

"Human Clan, release my seal, and I shall grant you great power!" The Corpse Emperor spoke once again, emitting a harsh, strange cry as it shouted.

"You stay here and wait for me!" Shi Feng turned his head and said to Xueh Wuheng.

Hearing what Shi Feng had said, Xueh Wuheng asked, "Have you thought of a way to retrieve the Mystical Artifact Shard?"

Xueh Wuheng looked at Shi Feng, who appeared calm as usual, but in this moment, she felt as if Shi Feng’s serene face inadvertently revealed a trace of confidence.

Then, Xueh Wuheng saw Shi Feng nod, answering, "It should be possible!"

Following that, Shi Feng’s figure moved, dropping toward the violently shaking ground below.

After Shi Feng landed on the ground, he moved with the swaying earth and, step by step, approached the sealed Corpse Emperor!

"Human... Human Clan! Release my seal! Quickly release my seal! Just let me out, and I will immediately grant you great power!" Seeing Shi Feng step by step walking towards it, the Corpse Emperor quickly spoke again, its voice sounding urgent, even filled with excitement and joy. Even the words it spoke became much smoother all of a sudden.

How many years had it been! Sealed here, it had lost track of the years it had been without freedom!

But then, the Corpse Emperor saw the Human Clan approaching step by step, and when about ten meters away from it, suddenly stopped.

Seeing this person stop, the Corpse Emperor’s expression changed, revealing a vicious and fierce demeanor, and it roared angrily, "Human Clan! What are you doing! Come here! Quickly release my seal! I can grant you great power! Hurry up and come to me!"

Shi Feng looked at the Corpse Emperor, whose face had turned vicious again, formed a handprint with both hands, and after a moment, Shi Feng released the handprint, while in the palm of his left hand hovered a tadpole-like pale white Rune. The Rune, like a tadpole, moved in small circles in the palm of Shi Feng’s hand, slowly swimming around!
