Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie arrived at the area where the符图 (fú tú, talisman diagrams) were engraved, stepping on them as he walked towards the crimson crystal flower.

Getting closer, the aura of the True World Source became even clearer.

In fact, he had already recognized the extraordinary nature of this special crystal flower.

This crystal flower came from the True World before it shattered; it was a product of the True World.

Moreover, it was a rare and precious treasure of that era, containing a pure and vast True Source.

It was precisely because of this that the Immortal Corpse Daoists were unable to obtain the Water Source within the crystal flower.

Because they simply couldn't reach into the crystal flower, not even with the energy of laws.

Anyone entering the range of the crystal flower would be dissolved in an instant.

The True Source of the crystal flower was too concentrated; it repelled any beings or things born after the shattering of the True World, except for itself.

Although these Immortal Corpse Daoists possessed some True World aura, they were ultimately not complete beings of the True World, and would naturally be rejected.

He stopped before the crystal flower, and at close range, he could clearly see the mysterious and unpredictable power of the source flowing within it.

That was the power of妖 (yāo, demon/monster), the origin of the Primordial Demon God of the Beginningless Epoch.

This surprised him somewhat.

It seemed that the origin of this crystal flower was even more complex than he had imagined.

It was originally an ancient divine object nurtured by heaven and earth.

This kind of ancient divine object was not a divine-grade resource of later generations, but rather a term for top-tier exotic treasures in that era.

However, this ancient divine object once had an owner, or for some reason, it absorbed the power of an ancient demon god, drawing upon the origin of the ancient demon god.

This kind of origin was the carrier of a powerful bloodline.

After a moment of observation, Jun Wuxie realized that this should be the bloodline origin left behind by the ancient demon god ancestor of that era.

In that era, he was acquainted with the ancient demon god ancestor. It seemed that after he fell, the ancient demon god ancestor also perished.

"Unfortunately, time is ultimately insufficient. She failed to reach the peak of the Unfettered Dao in that era, otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Jun Wuxie sighed in his heart. His friendship with the ancient demon god ancestor wasn't very deep back then, but they were considered quite familiar, and they got along quite well.

Of the old friends from that era, besides Yue (Moon), he wondered how many had successfully reincarnated.

Even existences who had entered the Unfettered Dao realm, in that special era, in that chaotic world where the heavens collapsed, could hardly escape the turmoil of heaven and earth, and risked complete annihilation.

It was even more difficult for Emperor Realm powerhouses to reincarnate and live a second life; the chances were very low.

Looking at the ancient demon god's origin within the crystal flower, Jun Wuxie felt a deep sense of emotion and sighed.

He seemed to see his old friend from back then trapped within this crystal flower.

However, the old friend was no more, only the bloodline origin remained in the world.

Within this crystal flower, he couldn't sense a trace of his old friend's primordial spirit fluctuations, and even her aura was gone.

The origin had simply become an object for bloodline inheritance.

Behind him, many pairs of eyes were watching him, wondering why he sighed while quietly looking at the crystal flower.

After a long while, Jun Wuxie came back to his senses. He reached out his hand towards the Innate Water Source floating within the crystal flower.

The Innate Water Source flowed with a light blue light, which was very beautiful.

The light overflowed, giving people a dreamlike beauty.

At this moment, the Immortal Corpse Daoists instantly became nervous, their breathing stopped, and their eyes stared intently at Jun Wuxie's hand reaching into the crystal flower.

Outside the barrier, Yueyao, Lingfei, Longxi, and Shuyan also involuntarily had their hearts contract.

They knew very well that the crystal flower was definitely not simple, and could even be said to be very terrifying.

Otherwise, the powerful Immortal Corpse Daoists would not have been guarding here for countless years without being able to obtain the Innate Water Source inside.

At the same time, in a certain secret place, in an extremely special space-time, there was also a pair of cold eyes staring, gradually contracting as Jun Wuxie's hand approached.

When Jun Wuxie's hand entered the range of the crystal flower, a special energy like water ripples overflowed from the crystal petals, forming a small barrier.

In that barrier, the special power of water ripples constantly converged towards his palm.

The Immortal Corpse Daoists, seeing such a scene, all thought that his palm would dissolve in an instant.

But to their disbelief, the young man's palm did not dissolve as they had expected.

After those special True World powers converged towards his palm, they actually flowed around his palm, seeming very intimate.

What was going on?

The Immortal Corpse Daoists looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Although they were happy to see this young man take the Innate Water Source out of the crystal flower.

In this way, they could intercept him and obtain the Innate Water Source, instead of guarding here for countless years, only being able to watch but not touch.

However, this phenomenon was too incredible for them, completely beyond their understanding.

How did that young man do it? Why was it like this?

They couldn't think of an answer even if they racked their brains.

At the same time, the pair of cold eyes hidden in that special space-time were also filled with shock, followed by joy and excitement.

Finally, they could get their hands on the Innate Water Source.

It had been too long. For so many years, they had been guarding here, holding onto a glimmer of hope.

Originally, they were thinking of slowly cultivating more of the True attributes in their bodies, and then trying again at that time, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope for success.

They never expected that such a young man would come here. It seemed that this was the favor of fate, destined to allow them to break the flaws in their cultivation technique and move towards extreme glory and brilliance in the future!

The crystal flower looked only as big as a round table, and the Innate Water Source inside was only as big as a washbasin, floating up and down inside.

In fact, after the palm entered the barrier area of the crystal flower, the space inside was many, many times larger than it looked.

Jun Wuxie's palm continued to lengthen, all the way causing those special powers to be incomparably joyful, dancing around his palm like elves.

Soon, his palm stretched to the center of the crystal flower's barrier space, his palm world evolved, and he included the Innate Water Source that wanted to escape into his palm.

"He got it, he actually got it!"

Whether it was the four Immortal Corpse Daoists in the palace or the strong man lurking in the dark, their hearts were excited and surging, their eyes fiery and greedy.

After Jun Wuxie restrained the Innate Water Source in his hand, his palm quickly retracted, and he instantly retracted his entire hand.

The Innate Water Source, flowing with a dreamlike light blue light, floated in his palm world.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on obtaining the Innate Water Source!"

The four Immortal Corpse Daoists put away the fiery heat and greed in their eyes, stepped forward quickly, pretending to congratulate him.

In fact, they were poised and ready to launch an attack on him.

Almost at the same time, a terrifying aura instantly swept through the entire shattered palace.

In a certain corner of the palace, there was a mysterious force of space-time rippling.

An old man wearing a Daoist robe walked out from inside.

He was very old and skinny, but the metallic feel of his skin was much more obvious than the four Immortal Corpse Daoists, and the aura he exuded was many times stronger!

This old Daoist was too thin, looking like he was dehydrated, with skin and bones, especially on his face. His entire face was shaped like a skull, with his cheeks and eye sockets deeply sunken, as if only a metal-like skin covered his skull.

But his eyes were particularly sharp, and those eyes were terrifying, like two abysses that were releasing a cold murderous aura.

"Young man, you are very remarkable."

The old man walked out of the mysterious space, less than five feet tall, very hunched, looking like his body was shrinking.

He carried his hands behind his back, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as he spoke, among which four fangs were particularly conspicuous, much longer than those of the four Immortal Corpse Daoists.

This was one of the characteristics of the cultivators of the Immortal Corpse Dao Sect.

The longer their fangs, the higher the degree of their bloodline evolution.

Even at the Undying Bone level, there were also high and low levels.

It was obvious that this old man's bloodline was stronger than the four Immortal Corpse Daoists, even though they all possessed the Undying Bone bloodline.

"In the distant years, the predecessors of my Immortal Corpse Dao Sect have worked hard for generations, paying so much price, and have always been here.

To this day, they have still failed to obtain that Innate Water Source.

Who would have thought that fate would bestow blessings, sending you to this place to take the Innate Water Source out of the crystal space for my Immortal Corpse Dao Sect."

Speaking of this, the old man had already walked to the center of the palace, and a powerful aura swept over the sky, making Jun Wuxie feel as if he was submerged by a cold and gloomy magical energy.

Those cold auras constantly invaded his body.

If it were someone else, they would be unable to persist at this moment, unable to resist, and would have a stage of fear in their hearts, unable to muster the will to fight.

This old Daoist was very powerful!

But Jun Wuxie's expression was calm, and his deep eyes looked at the old Daoist indifferently.

At this moment, the old Daoist stretched out his ghost claw-like skinny palm, "Bring it here, offer the Innate Water Source with both hands.

This venerable one, seeing that you have made an indispensable contribution, can not only spare you, but also allow you to join my Immortal Corpse Dao Sect and practice the Immortal Corpse Dao technique.

With your aptitude, you will soon be able to cultivate the Undying Bone body, and with your own vast blood energy, your strength will surely be able to soar!"

"The techniques of the Immortal Corpse Dao Sect do indeed have their merits.

However, I have no interest in practicing this technique.

Who in their right mind would want to turn themselves into a corpse.

Besides, your techniques are really just average to me.

However, I am quite fond of you few.

It is said that the Immortal Corpse Dao technique can not only be cultivated, but also be used to refine Undying Bone corpse slaves.

From now on, you will be a servant under me, establishing a Daoist sect to specialize in refining Imperishable Bone Corpse Servants in the future."

These calm words were spoken as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Although the tone was peaceful, the words were quite forceful.

His attitude and words instantly enraged the old man and the four Immortal Corpse Daoists.

"You are ignorant and arrogant! You are truly a frog at the bottom of a well! Our Daoist sect's Venerable One has personally descended, and you dare to speak such wild words!"

The four Immortal Corpse Daoists were no longer as cautious and humble as before.

Now, with the appearance of the old Daoist, they were full of confidence, shouting loudly, no longer afraid of Jun Wuxie.

"Young man, you are too ignorant.

There are some people in this world whose power you cannot imagine, exceeding the limits of your understanding, far beyond your ability to contend with.

Do not doubt, this Venerable One is such an existence.

This Venerable One cherishes talent and offered you to join the Daoist sect, but you do not know how to treasure it.

Since that is the case, it would not be bad for this Venerable One to suppress you and refine you into an Imperishable Bone Corpse Servant, although the future upper limit would be much lower."

As his voice fell, a strange and eerie smile appeared on the old man's face. He still carried his hands behind his back, his hunched figure walking towards Jun Wuxie.

As his footsteps landed on the ground, circles of cold corpse energy surged out like a tide, impacting Jun Wuxie.

This corpse energy possessed an extremely powerful corrosive ability, capable of corroding divine abilities, secret techniques, laws, energy, flesh, and soul.

However, when this corpse energy impacted Jun Wuxie, it was instantly blocked by his Chaos Golden Blood Qi.

The two energies collided, forming terrifying energy shockwaves, and in the area of impact, mushroom clouds rose into the air.

The energy raged, impacting in all directions, causing many slender black cracks to appear in the distorted space.

The four Immortal Corpses rushed up to besiege, originally wanting to take advantage of the opportunity when Jun Wuxie could not spare a hand to deal with them to launch an attack.

As a result, before they could rush to Jun Wuxie's side, they were blasted away by the Chaos Golden Blood Qi in the violent shockwaves, crashing heavily to the ground, their bones shattered, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

This shocked them beyond measure!

Earlier, this young man had to directly attack to injure them.

Now, merely the shockwaves shattered their bones!

This person had been hiding his strength all along.

His attacks on them at that time were not at full strength at all!
