Chapter 1495: Chapter 1593: Can’t Leave

An endless surge of corpse energy erupted from within the Sky Swallowing Palace, as if a Corpse Emperor from ancient times was awakening inside the hall.

“Dare to mess with my woman! I’ll exterminate you!” A bellowing roar rose, and a huge grey palm appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for the woman in black.

“Playing tricks and pretending to be gods!” The woman in black pointed out a finger, the light from her fingertip as if it could pierce the sky, fiercely colliding with the grey palm.

With a thunderous boom, the light from her fingertip shattered, and the grey palm dimmed but still relentlessly pursued the woman in black.

The woman in black stomped down, revealing the Confucian Heaven Step, causing the grey palm to dissipate. However, a figure was seen leaping up from the depths of the Sky Swallowing Palace below.

“What?” The woman in black saw the figure bursting out, and her face instantly turned pale with shock.

Lava for armor, wielding flames for robes!

It was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

“How could it be him!” Old Emperor Qin and the others below were also in extreme shock, having never anticipated the appearance of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“It’s over!” Even someone as calm and wise as the Green Robe Guest felt a sense of despair at this moment; he had previously deduced the worst possible outcome, which was the emergence of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Because once the Great Sage Equal to Heaven appears, no matter how many experts from Hidden Kill Hall, Pill Alliance, and the Upper Three Countries arrive, it would all be in vain. In this age, there is no existing being that can contend with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

The title of the world’s strongest is something even Hidden Kill Hall must acknowledge.

The Green Robe Guest couldn’t believe it; the Great Sage Equal to Heaven had actually appeared, an almost impossible event unless the Sky Swallowing Palace had some connection to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Otherwise, why would the Great Sage step in for the Sky Swallowing Palace?

“Who would have thought that this Demon Saint has become so powerful.” Both Old Emperor Qin and Old Yuan Emperor were in a trance.

“Now we’re really done for. That monkey appeared from inside the Sky Swallowing Palace. It seems that the backing of the Sky Swallowing Palace is the Demon Beast clan.” The old farmer sat on the ground, his face filled with despair.

Hidden Kill Hall had been a force in the Nine Countries for so many years, daring to provoke anyone except the Demon Beast clan.

Because the leaders of Hidden Kill Hall were very clear that the most frightening thing in the Nine Countries Seven Seas was not the Human Clan, but rather the Demon Beast clan.

If they truly provoked the Demon Beast clan, Hidden Kill Hall would really have nowhere to hide.

The moment the woman in black saw the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, she too was frightened, instinctively turning to run away.

She remembered all too well, seven years ago when the Great Sage Equal to Heaven came to the Seven Seas, smiting countless experts of the three sects with a single strike, even during her own encounter with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, she couldn’t hold on for long before being defeated, chased to the point of having nowhere to fly in the sky and no door to enter into the ground. In the end, she hid in the deepest part of the Seven Seas, trembling for a long time before she dared to emerge.

Since that battle, the woman in black had been scared by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven; she could not imagine that such a powerful being could appear in this era, so incredibly strong that it defied all reason.

But the woman in black was no ordinary person after all, she had witnessed not only the power of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven seven years ago but also the transformative abilities of the thousand-year-old Corpse Ginseng.

The woman in the black dress still remembered clearly, the freakish thing that looked like ginseng had transformed into the appearance of the East Pole Heaven King, causing her some trouble.

So, after the initial shock, the woman in the black dress suddenly realized that this was probably not the real Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Though the aura was the same and the realm was as unfathomably deep as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s, something felt off.

Sure enough, as soon as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven appeared, he didn’t attack the woman in the black dress but instead directly grabbed the falling Golden-Haired Beast and Dugu Nian, then fled towards the distance without looking back.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Could the woman in the black dress still not see the truth? This definitely wasn’t the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If it really was him, he would have probably swung his staff by now, not rescued Dugu Nian and the Golden-Haired Beast and then run away.

“Damn it! Chase me again, and be careful I’ll smash you to death with my staff!” The Great Sage Equal to Heaven cursed while looking back, his eyes flashing with golden light, truly just like the Fiery Eyes of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

The woman in the black dress truly felt a moment of nervousness, but seeing that the guy was running even more vigorously, she fully understood that this was simply the damned Ginseng Demon who had transformed.

With a flick of her finger, a beam of light shot straight towards the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

“Ouch, mama!” The Great Sage Equal to Heaven cried out. At this moment, he was holding on to Dugu Nian with one hand and carrying the Golden-Haired Beast with the other, completely unable to use his powers, so he could only turn around to take the hit from the finger beam with his body.

With a ‘bang’, the finger beam hit the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s back, but it failed to harm him. Instead, it became an aid that pushed him, making him fly even faster with the Golden-Haired Beast and Dugu Nian in tow.

“Damn it, transforming into this dead monkey is too exhausting; I can’t sustain it for long,” Corpse Ginseng muttered to itself and didn’t dare look back, just focusing on fleeing.

Naturally, this Great Sage Equal to Heaven was a transformation of the millennia-old Corpse Ginseng. If the true Great Sage Equal to Heaven had been here, the battle would never have reached this state.

Corpse Ginseng’s ability to transform was greatly limited; stronger it transformed into, shorter it could maintain its appearance.

To be able to transform into a powerful entity like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was already not easy for Corpse Ginseng; maintaining the appearance for any length of time was extremely difficult for it.

In fact, Corpse Ginseng had wanted to help Dugu Nian earlier, but it held back, knowing that it wasn’t suited for direct confrontation with others and that it must act at a critical moment to make a difference.

Thus, Corpse Ginseng had been patiently waiting until now. Seeing that both the Golden-Haired Beast and Dugu Nian were in danger, it couldn’t hold back any longer and revealed itself to rescue them.

The woman in the black dress relentlessly pursued from behind, continuously unleashing various attacks to stop Corpse Ginseng’s rescue and escape.

Corpse Ginseng didn’t fight back, merely using its body to withstand all attacks from the woman in the black dress. After all, it knew its skin was tough, and it was unkillable no matter the assault.

“What to do, what to do? I’m running out of strength!” After escaping for a distance, Corpse Ginseng felt that it could no longer maintain the appearance of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. If it transformed into something weaker, it feared that it would be completely unable to escape the clutches of that black-dressed woman with Dugu Nian and the Golden-Haired Beast in tow.

Just then, a boundless pressure swept over from the horizon, striking Corpse Ginseng and making its transformative ability disappear instantaneously, reverting to its original form, and falling downwards together with Dugu Nian and the Golden-Haired Beast.

“It’s over!” Corpse Ginseng screamed, as it saw an eye appear above the firmament.

At the same time, in another part of the sky, the wind was whipping the clouds into a frenzy, and the sound of a dragon’s chant gradually arose!
