Collecting the corpse for the emperor, my cultivation base will skyrocket for ten thousand years!

The Corpse Demon's assessment was fairly objective, which was roughly in line with Lin Wudao's expectations.

According to his own estimation, after becoming the Thirteen Seals Ancient Emperor, his combat power should be able to reach the level of the three Great Dao Saints; if he cultivates the five Supreme Methods, he should be able to rival the Great Dao Venerables.

This is only the combat power of his Order Demon Embryo in the Abyss; if he were his true human form, his strength would be much greater.

At that time, suppressing the four Great Dao Venerables should not be a problem...

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's talk about that after you become the Ancient Emperor of the Thirteen Seals. Now let's hurry up and go to the Chaotic Ancient Ruins. There are many good things hidden there."

"The Corpse Demon urged," the Corpse Demon said.

After saying that, he pulled Lin Wudao and rushed into the portal in the void at top speed.

Since the guardians of the Chaotic Ancient Path who had previously guarded the entrance had been killed by Venerable Qingxuan, they were able to reach the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins without any difficulty.

……

The Chaotic Ancient Ruins are the battleground of the Great Dao titled cultivators, including Venerable Qingxuan; they are the true battlefield of the Great Dao.

When Lin Wudao and the Corpse Demon entered the second level, they found that the space-time here was extremely chaotic, as if the entire world had been shattered by a great force, and a corner of the sky was missing.

The surrounding space was constantly collapsing and shattering, and terrifying spacetime storms were raging wildly. The ground was also covered with huge, crisscrossing ravines, as if extremely powerful forces had plowed out terrifying abysses.

The entire world presented a scene of desolation!
Although I had already witnessed the terrifying nature of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, this second level was clearly even worse than the first one.

Besides.

Lin Wudao could vaguely sense that in some dark corner, many eyes were watching him.

"Be careful. I have a feeling this place is not simple. There may be someone like the Ancient Protector. Although those Great Dao Title Holders have been dead for countless years, their obsessions are attached to the Undying True Spirit, and they may still exist today."

"Don't let something unexpected happen..."

Lin Wudao observed for a moment, then reminded the corpse demon beside him.

The Protector of Chaos is certainly not the strongest. Since he was able to place his obsession in the Chaos Ruins, others might be able to as well.

Therefore, it is highly likely that there are undying obsessions similar to those of the Chaotic Ancient Protectors within these ancient ruins.

"I know perfectly well, you don't need to remind me."

“I can sense that there are twelve powerful, undying obsessions in the second level of this Chaotic Ancient Ruins. They must have all been at the level of Great Dao Saints in their previous lives.”

"He still possesses a portion of the power he had in life!"

"But you don't need to worry. Without the suppression of that divine mountain, as long as I don't encounter an existence like the Great Dao Venerable, I can still easily handle it with my strength."

"See those graves? Those should be the corpses of these Great Dao title holders in life. There must be all the good stuff in there."

"If we dig up these graves, we're sure to make a fortune..."

The Corpse Demon stared intently at the towering tombs standing in the distance, its eyes burning with intensity.

His appearance and mental state at this moment reminded Lin Wudao of the Mad Daoist; it must be said that the Mad Daoist was just like this when he saw the tomb of the strong.

They seem to have a natural interest in things like graves.

"Do it!"

After observing and examining it carefully for a few moments, the Corpse Demon called out to Lin Wudao, then transformed into a strange black light and charged menacingly towards the twenty-five tombs in the distance.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind.

Boom~
The Corpse Demon was incredibly fast, arriving at a tomb in the blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, he raised his giant bone sword and slashed fiercely at the tomb.

The powerful force cleaved a huge gap in the tomb, and in an instant, a torrent of majestic Dao energy flowed out, illuminating this broken world.

Just as the Corpse Demon cleaved the grave in two with its sword, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the dark void: "You audacious scoundrel, how dare you desecrate my grave..."

The moment the voice rang out, a colossal hand that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth forcefully pierced through the shattered void, carrying an aura and power capable of destroying the world, and slammed down upon the Corpse Demon.

The aura it displayed seemed even stronger than that of the previous Azure Profound Venerable.

"A Great Dao Saint!" "No, stronger than a Great Dao Emperor, but seemingly weaker than a true Great Dao Saint."

Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.

His guess was correct. There was indeed an undying obsession among those who had been granted titles of the Great Dao in the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, and they had all reached the level of Great Dao Saints in their lifetimes.

And there's more than one of them!
Faced with this sudden obstruction, the Corpse Demon showed no mercy. He swung his white bone giant sword backhand and slashed fiercely. A sharp and unparalleled abyssal sword aura swept across the void, directly obliterating the towering hand.

Not only that, the Corpse Demon's sword also directly severed the void, and even the undying obsession hidden deep within was instantly reduced to ashes.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao felt a pang of heartache: "Go easy on them, these undying obsessions are all worth money."

"What money? You dare to stop me? No one can stop me."

"Let me tell you trash, since you're already dead, you should just stay put and be cowards. It's best if you don't show yourselves. Today, I'm going to dig up your graves."

"If you dare to ruin my plans again, I'll kill you all..."

The Corpse Demon immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

His cold, razor-sharp gaze swept across the void, and for a moment, the surroundings became much quieter; but Lin Wudao could clearly feel that from this moment on, the resentment in the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins seemed to have become much stronger.

He could even sense the many fierce and hateful eyes; they seemed to want to devour the two of them alive.

after all!

This is where they all died; those graves contain the bodies of those people in life. Now, they can only watch helplessly as their graves are dug up, and there's nothing they can do.

Lin Wudao could understand this feeling of grief and pain.

However, understanding is one thing, but digging up graves is another; just as the Corpse Demon said, since they are already dead, they should stay quietly and not cause trouble.

Otherwise, even the last vestige of unwavering resolve would be extinguished...

Faced with the Corpse Demon's immense power, the undying obsessions hidden deep within the void rifts, filled with fury and hatred, dared not act rashly.

Lin Wudao was even surprised to find that the number of prying eyes around him had decreased significantly in an instant.

"They actually escaped?"

He was a little surprised.

I originally thought these undying obsessions would linger, but I didn't expect them to disappear so quickly.

Upon seeing this, the Corpse Demon frowned slightly: "This is bad. Those people must have gone to the third level to find help."

"Perhaps the undying obsession of the Great Dao Venerable will appear soon, so we'd better hurry up and make our move."

"Let's split up and dig up all these graves as quickly as possible..."

"The Corpse Demon urged," he said.

Reminded by him, Lin Wudao immediately realized what was happening; after responding, he went to the graves and quickly began digging.

In fact!
The Corpse Demon's guess was correct.

Just as Lin Wudao was digging up the fifth tomb, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the depths of the distant void, causing the aura of the Great Dao in the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins to fluctuate violently.

At the same time, a series of sharp sounds rang in my ears; it seemed as if someone was forcibly tearing the void apart.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wudao and the Corpse Demon both changed their expressions: "Not good, a formidable character is coming, let's go!"

Sensing something was wrong, the Corpse Demon didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed Lin Wudao and rushed madly toward the first floor.

at the same time.

Lin Wudao also clearly felt the fierce gaze coming from the space behind him, as well as the terrifying pressure that swept over him.

Boom~
Just as they were about to escape the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, a terrifying giant hand suddenly pierced through the void and landed heavily on the two of them. (End of Chapter)
