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

"Hmm~"

When that towering hand landed on them, Lin Wudao and the Corpse Demon both let out a heavy groan; then, their bodies flew out uncontrollably.

It crashed into and destroyed one majestic mountain after another along the way, before finally plunging headfirst into the abyss ruins of the ancient chaotic ruins.

"The Protector of Chaos, the Man Who Moves the Heavenly Dao!"

Lin Wudao glanced at the corner of his eye and, through the shattered void, vaguely saw a powerful figure dressed as a Taoist in the second level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins.

This person stood above the vast void, surrounded by dazzling starlight, and in the four directions around him, countless stars swirled.

At first glance, it resembles the lord of all stars.

Through the system's feedback, Lin Wudao learned the person's identity: he was a guardian of the third level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, and his cultivation focused on the Great Dao of Stars.

In addition, there are the Void Dao and the Taiyin Dao, both of which have incredibly strong foundations and resources; in particular, the Heaven-Moving Daoist is a Dao Venerable who has cultivated all three Daos to their ultimate level.

Although only a wisp of his unyielding obsession remains, he still possesses unimaginable power as a Great Dao Venerable in his previous life.

Even the Corpse Demon, one of the four Great Dao Emperors, was no match for him; when the Corpse Demon rose again from the abyss ruins of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, Lin Wudao discovered that his demonic body was covered with countless terrifying cracks.

That's how it is!
It seems the demonic body could collapse at any moment...

As for Lin Wudao himself, due to the immense strength of his Abyss Body and the protection of the Burial Copper Coffin, the power of the Heaven-Moving Daoist, though terrifying, could not cause him any harm.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing the Corpse Demon's miserable state, Lin Wudao came up to him and asked with concern.

At this moment, the Corpse Demon looked to be in very bad shape. Not only was its demonic body shattered, but it was also spitting out purple demonic blood, clearly indicating that it had suffered an extremely serious attack.

Even so, the Corpse Demon still stood up shakily, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's alright, I won't die."

He shook his head, then activated the abyss law mark deep between his brows, and a torrent of powerful abyss magic surged into his body; in just a moment, it repaired his severely damaged demonic body.

Then, his complexion returned to normal...

"Why are these old geezers so desperately guarding the Chaotic Ancient Ruins? They're such a worry even in death. Sooner or later, I'll wipe out all your obsessions."

The Corpse Demon grumbled and cursed as it stared in the direction of the second level of the ruins, its cold eyes revealing anger and resentment.

Fortunately, the guardian of the third level, the Heaven-Moving Daoist, did not continue to pursue them. It is unknown whether he was afraid of the outside world or because he could not leave the third level of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins.

This made Lin Wudao and his group breathe a slight sigh of relief.

After all, with their current strength, they are indeed not capable of directly confronting a Great Dao Venerable like the Heaven-Moving Daoist.

"Let's go out first and then talk!"

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood; it's not too late to dig up the graves when we have the strength later."

"Anyway, these people's unwavering obsession is all tied to the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, so there's no fear of them running away..."

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Demon nodded.

He then led Lin Wudao away from the Chaotic Ancient Ruins and returned to the Fallen Soul Abyss along the same route.

……

"How many graves did you dig up?"

After returning to the Abyss of Fallen Souls, the Corpse Demon first recovered from his injuries, and then asked Lin Wudao a question.

Five!

Without wasting any words, Lin Wudao directly threw the five corpses of Great Dao Saints onto the ground.

"You're digging graves too slowly, you need to practice; I dug twelve."

"Same as always, I want the Dao bones in these people, and everything else is up to you."

The Corpse Demon waved his hand and threw out the corpses of twelve Great Dao Saints. Then, wielding a giant white bone sword, he dug out all the Dao bones from these seventeen corpses.

After he finished digging out the Dao bones, Lin Wudao directly put the corpses of these Great Dao Saints into his system space; he was not in a hurry to collect them, and planned to take them back to Mad Daoist and Qin Daofu to deal with them first.

Let's focus on improving their foundation and strength first...

"By the way, could you do me a favor? I plan to attempt to become a Thirteen-Seal Ancient Emperor in this Abyss of Fallen Souls, and I would like to ask you to protect me on my path."

"Furthermore, I noticed that you seem to have a great fondness for digging up graves and collecting Dao bones. Coincidentally, I recently discovered a powerful ancient tomb in the outer Demon Sea of ​​the Honggu Demon Realm. It should belong to an unparalleled expert from the sixth level of the Abyss."

"When we have the chance, let's go and take a look together, shall we?" Lin Wudao extended an invitation to the Corpse Demon to dig up the grave.

The True Phoenix Ancient Tomb in the Demon Sea beyond the realm seems to be extraordinary. Its tomb owner was at least a third-order mythical ruler; he may even have cultivated multiple abyss laws.

The Corpse Demon is more familiar with the Abyss than I am, and he is also much stronger. With him exploring the True Phoenix Tomb together, it will definitely be much easier than fighting alone.

also!

Lin Wudao also wanted to deepen his relationship with the Corpse Demon by cooperating in digging up graves; after the incident at the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, he found that the Corpse Demon was not as cold and inhuman as he had imagined.

They're relatively easy to get along with...

The Corpse Demon was clearly surprised and astonished by Lin Wudao's invitation to dig up the grave. He couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "What decent tombs can you find in the Demon Sea beyond the realm? Can they compare to those Great Dao Saints or even Great Dao Venerables in the Chaotic Ancient Ruins?"

He snorted and said.

They clearly didn't believe Lin Wudao was capable of finding the tomb of some powerful figure.

"Believe it or not, my intuition tells me that the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb in the Demon Sea beyond the Realm should be no weaker than the tomb in the Chaotic Ancient Ruins."

"What did you say, the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb?"

The Corpse Demon, who hadn't paid much attention before, suddenly perked up when he heard the words "True Phoenix Ancient Tomb"; his cold eyes immediately blazed with intense light.

Seeing the other party's huge reaction before and after, Lin Wudao knew that he had guessed correctly; the origin of that True Phoenix Ancient Tomb was indeed extraordinary.

"Are you sure the large tomb you're talking about is called the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb?"

The Corpse Demon asked again.

It seems they are verifying the authenticity of the message.

Lin Wudao nodded: "Of course, according to the information I have, the great tomb in the outer demon sea is indeed the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb."

"What significant history does this True Phoenix Ancient Tomb have?"

"Hmm, they have a very impressive background!"

For the first time, the Corpse Demon showed a serious expression. After confirming that it was the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb, the burning light in his eyes became even more intense.

“In the distant past, a true phoenix fell from the human world into the abyss in the sixth layer of the abyss; it is said that at its peak, it was an abyss saint who cultivated five great paths.”

"Later I heard that he was defeated by the apostle of mythology and disappeared without a trace; many people said that the True Phoenix Saint was dead, so for countless years many people have been searching for his burial place."

"If the tomb you mentioned truly belongs to the True Phoenix Saint, then it is an immense treasure; if I were to excavate his tomb, I could definitely break through to become an Abyss Saint, or even an Abyss Venerable."

"But why is the tomb of the True Phoenix Saint located in the Outer Demon Sea instead of the sixth layer of the Abyss? And why did you manage to find it?"

The Corpse Demon looked at Lin Wudao with a strange expression.

"Heh, just lucky."

"Actually, I only learned about the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb by chance. Before, I thought the other party was just an ordinary third-order mythical ruler. I didn't expect that he had such a great background."

"It seems that the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb is indeed worth a visit..."

Lin Wudao was indeed very surprised; the origin of the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb was even more astonishing than he had imagined.

He was actually a Saint of the Abyss with five Great Daos!
If the tomb of the True Phoenix Saint were dug up, the benefits would be immeasurable; the Abyss Demon Soil alone is a supreme treasure that everyone would dream of obtaining.

At this moment, Lin Wudao was somewhat curious about how Tian Juezi had entered the True Phoenix Ancient Tomb and how he had obtained something like the Abyss Demon Land.

"The True Phoenix Ancient Tomb is no small matter; it won't be easy to excavate it. We need to make thorough preparations before we do so."

"Without strength comparable to a Great Dao Venerable, it's impossible to dig it open; this matter cannot be rushed, we need to plan it carefully..."

The Corpse Demon stroked his chin and said in a deep voice.

Although he coveted the tomb of the True Phoenix Saint, the dangers within were immense; they were already struggling to even face the Great Dao Venerables of the Chaotic Ancient Ruins, let alone dig up the tomb of the True Phoenix Saint.

That's practically suicide!

Lin Wudao largely agreed with the Corpse Demon's words; having witnessed the immense power of the Chaotic Ancient Protectors, he also harbored apprehension towards the even more ancient and powerful True Phoenix Ancient Tomb.

Right now is definitely not the time to take action; the most important thing is to improve our own strength.

Think of this.

He greeted the Corpse Demon, and then began his assault on the Thirteen Seals Ancient Emperor within the Abyss of Fallen Souls… (End of Chapter)
