fifth form

Chapter 3699 Full of Doubts
"Has this guy gone mad?"

If Zhang Xuezhou had reached what he considered the pinnacle of survival, then after witnessing Donghua's madness, he realized he was still far from it.

As if just to teach him a lesson, Donghua gave him a "mutual destruction" move as soon as they met.

Although Zhang Xuezhou is very adaptable, he was still bewildered by this situation.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that things shouldn't have turned out this way, but that's exactly what happened.

After crawling up from the ruins and wriggling for a while, Zhang Xuezhou finally emerged from the layer of rock and soil that was pressing down on him.

His body is sustained by the Nine Revolutions Qi-Gathering Technique. Although he can't transform like Yang Jian, his body can be hard or soft and can extend or shrink to a certain extent without any problem.

But despite escaping this collision in the secret realm, Zhang Xuezhou showed no joy at his remarkable survival skills.

He couldn't understand Donghua's behavior. The other party acted as if he had seen a ghost when he saw him. Before he could even finish a few words, the other party started fighting him.

"Liu Xuan, what do you think of the opponent I've encountered?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the greenwood staff with half of its skin scraped off, and then at the half of the glass staff wrapped around the spiritwood staff.

"Madness!"

Liu Xuan's figure appeared in the glass, and after he made a low comment, his figure quickly faded away.

Zhang Xuezhou was severely impacted, and Liu Xuan was clearly not faring well either.

"I have inherited the fortune of Qin Shi Huang and the King of Huainan, so I should be riding high right now. Is encountering this kind of thing a stroke of luck or bad luck?"

Zhang Xuezhou pressed his hand to his forehead, and a bright light appeared behind his head, illuminating the dark area.

Looking ahead, Zhang Xuezhou saw the Emperor's mangled body, wrecked from being pulled, squeezed, and exploded, slumped on the bronze chair.

In Zhang Xuezhou's conjecture, Donghua, who uses the body of the Emperor and is proficient in various magical abilities, is not confident that he can defeat the new Emperor and Zhenyuan Divine Lord even if he wins them over.

He just wanted to try it out, and the current result is undoubtedly hard for him to accept.

"I don't believe you're that crazy!"

Zhang Xuezhou stood before the bronze throne and reached out to touch the emperor's body.

Hair began to gradually appear on the dead body, and the Emperor's demonic form was revealed.

The impact of the shattering of the secret realm was immense and lasted a long time, but this power was dispersed, and everything in the secret realm was the one that bore the brunt. The destructive power on individuals was not as great as the blow that the Demon-Revealing Mirror delivered to Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Xuezhou withstood the strain, but the Emperor's physical body couldn't withstand it; his body exploded after being squeezed and stretched.

Without this special bronze throne to maintain his physique, the Emperor's physical body would not be so intact.

"You're not dead. I don't believe you died so easily!"

After circling the bronze throne three times, Zhang Xuezhou observed every part of the emperor's physical body.

He even unleashed the Yin Object Tracking Technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, to search for Donghua's whereabouts.

"How could he have died and his soul had vanished?"

The Yin Object Tracking Technique almost transformed into a purple fireball in his palm, its power enveloping an area of ​​several hundred meters around him.

There was no movement at all; Zhang Xuezhou couldn't even detect any trace of the great gods like Wangliang, Taowu, Chong, and Changqin after their deaths.

The uncontrolled collisions in the secret realm caused many demon gods to be repeatedly stretched and crushed, ultimately resulting in their deaths and the dissipation of their souls. Even the wraiths with the will to survive could not survive.

"Things shouldn't be like this!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt a conflict between his thinking and the facts. He couldn't believe that Donghua was really dead, but reality gave him a direct answer.

Instead of rushing to find a way out, he continued to examine everything that remained in the secret place.

If Donghua is dead, Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need to rush to leave; if Donghua is alive, the other party's hiding place will make him difficult to guard against.

Moreover, having lost the Emperor's physical body, Donghua should be very weak right now.

"He must have had a motive. How come he ended up alone in the Kunlun ruins?"

No trace of Donghua could be found in the secret location, and Zhang Xuezhou also found no relevant clues.

He couldn't help but think back to the beginning, after all, it was very strange for Donghua to appear alone in the Kunlun ruins.

"Who is he waiting for?" "If I hadn't shown up here, would he have also resorted to this kind of suicide pact?"

Who does he want to eliminate?

……

Zhang Xuezhou had many questions in his mind. When the faint voice calling his name came, Zhang Xuezhou quickly used the magic sound technique to respond.

"It's definitely here, keep digging!"

The new emperor's voice came, followed by a series of chiseling sounds.

The sound grew closer, and Zhang Xuezhou estimated that the distance between them was between tens and hundreds of meters.

"This has turned into iron!"

"My banner can pierce through this place!"

"Shuo Xian, move aside! Master is about to open the mountain; don't face us directly!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Nanji all spoke up, and Zhang Xuezhou quickly moved aside, then shouted to the crowd to indicate that he had moved aside.

"boom!"

A tremor ran through the ground, as if a giant hammer had struck this secret place. Zhang Xuezhou saw a stone wall suddenly crack open, and a lot of soil and gravel exploded out.

"Shuo Xian, what's the situation inside?"

Yuanshi Tianzun asked a question, followed by the sound of Zhenyuan Shenjun spreading his sleeves.

"The Celestial Venerable's attack was truly immense in power, far beyond our reach. This place is narrow, and the Celestial Venerable is so tall, why don't I climb in and take a look!"

"I'll go take a look too!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun and the new emperor spoke up one after another. Yuanshi Tianzun stopped asking questions and instead crawled in through the hole that had been drilled.

In just over ten seconds, Yuanshi Tianzun had already entered, carrying a banner. His gaze swept across the room and he saw the corpse lying on the bronze chair.

"How...how did he die?"

Even the sage Yuanshi Tianzun, who had seen the world, found it hard to believe that the Emperor would die here.

"You killed the Emperor?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked suspiciously.

“I don’t have that kind of power,” Zhang Xuezhou shook his head repeatedly. “I don’t know what evil spirit he was possessed by, but he shouted ‘Let’s die together,’ and then this secret place was destroyed!”

"Is this a secret place?"

"This is the secret location where the Kunlun Heavenly Court's council hall is situated!"

If it weren't for the remnants of the ancient Heavenly Court in this area, and the bronze throne that once symbolized the power of the Heavenly Court, Yuanshi Tianzun would hardly believe that this was a secret place, let alone that it was once the secret place of the Kunlun Heavenly Court, which covered an area of ​​ten miles.

Beneath this snow-capped mountain, the once vast secret place has dwindled to less than 300 meters in size, and everything has changed beyond recognition.

"The Jade Pearl Secret Realm of the Kunlun Heavenly Court Council Hall was once hailed as the Pearl of Kunlun, yet it has fallen to such a state!"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned as he looked at the Emperor's corpse, realizing that things had gotten much worse.

"Master, adjusting the West Gate shuttle is extremely risky. Did the Emperor make a mistake and cause this fatal disaster?"

Upon seeing the corpse on the bronze chair, Antarctica was understandably horrified before recounting his speculations.

The Emperor is the most powerful cultivator in the Three Realms. Not only is Zhang Xuezhou unable to kill him, but even the Primordial Heavenly Lord is not confident.

"Donghua seems to want to kill Yuanshi Tianzun!"

If there were any cultivators that Donghua would be willing to target with a large force, Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely be one of them.

The position of Yuanshi Tianzun is similar to that of the Guide of the Western Paradise, and his Zhutian Qingyun Technique possesses infinite defensive power.

Donghua manipulated the Kunlun Secret Realm to crash into Lingxiao, and Yuanshi Tianzun relied on this move to resist and thus protect the Celestial Court. Yuanshi Tianzun was definitely a thorn in Donghua's side.

If the target is Yuanshi Tianzun, such a show of force is entirely understandable.

The only question is whether this targeting is worth Donghua risking his life for, and why the other side used this opportunity on Zhang Xuezhou.

In Donghua's view, the other party seemed to believe that the risks brought by Zhang Xuezhou were greater than those of Yuanshi Tianzun.
