Chapter 1693
The first to awaken were the three corpses.
On the left is a phoenix with a wingspan of 27 meters. Its crimson wings are stained with dark brown old bloodstains. With a flap of its wings, it sends up a shower of water arrows. Its sharp beak gleams with a metallic cold light in the dark seawater.
On the right is a four-clawed yellow dragon with a body length of a thousand meters. Its scales are like those cast in ancient bronze. With a flick of its tail, it stirs up turbid undercurrents. When the yellow dragon claws are spread open, they even forcefully rip five dents into the seawater.
Directly in front was the corpse of Xiang Liu, with eighteen snake-headed arms twisting and swaying in the seawater. The pupils of each snake head gleamed with a deathly gray light, and its gaping maw could swallow half a warship. Foul-smelling saliva dripped from its fangs, spreading dark ripples in the seawater.
The three corpses raised their heads almost simultaneously, their empty eyes locking onto Chen Xuan, the uninvited guest.
Xiangliu's snake head moved first. Eighteen arms, like eighteen black whips, coiled around with a sharp sound that tore through the seawater. As the snake's tongue flicked in and out, even the surrounding seawater foamed with corrosive white foam.
The moment the phoenix flapped its wings, its figure had already turned back a thousand meters away. Its crimson wings sliced through the seawater, leaving a trail of burning afterimages behind it, and its sharp beak pecked straight at Chen Xuan's brow.
Huanglong's movements were slightly slower but more powerful. Its truck-sized dragon claws came from behind at an angle. Before the claws even reached Chen Xuan, the skin on the back of his neck was already painfully pressed down by the immense force.
Chen Xuan's heart skipped a beat—he hadn't expected that these ancient fiends, reduced to mere corpses, could possess such power with their physical bodies alone. He dared not be careless; the Chaotic Green Lotus beneath his feet spun, and his figure suddenly rose upwards, crashing right into the time domain opened up by the small tower.
The pale golden domain was like a thin veil. Chen Xuan passed through it unharmed, but the three corpses following behind seemed to have crashed into an invisible quagmire. Their movements were visibly slowed down by half a point, but their ferocity remained undiminished as they pushed their way through the domain's resistance.
“These three guys were all in the late stage of True Immortal or True God in their previous lives.” Xiaota’s voice was solemn. “Moreover, they came from one of the Ten Fierce Races, and were known for their strong physical bodies. Now that they have been nurtured by Chaos Qi for so long, even if they can’t use Dao techniques, their physical strength and speed alone are enough to make them stand against a current True Immortal.”
"I understand." Chen Xuan gripped the sword hilt with all six arms, staring at the three approaching corpses. Fine beads of sweat seeped from the pores of his divine and demonic body.
The phoenix was the fastest, its crimson wings flapping and creating afterimages within the domain, its sharp beak piercing straight at the face with a sharp, whistling sound.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to swing his sword to block, he saw the opponent's wings suddenly fold, like two giant blades slashing diagonally at him—the speed was ridiculously fast, and even his Candle Dragon Eye could only catch a blurry red shadow.
"clang!"
The six Beiming swords hastily overlapped to form a shield. The moment the wings struck the swords, Chen Xuan felt as if his arm had hit a mountain, and half of his body went numb.
Before he could regain his footing, the phoenix's hooked beak swooped down like an iron awl, striking the center of the sword net with a loud "thud," causing his hand to split open and blood to drip into the seawater from the sword hilt.
Even more deadly were those claws. Taking advantage of his exhausted strength and the lack of new strength, the cold, sharp claws pierced his chest and thigh with two sharp "thuds"—the wounds were as big as fists, and the blood of the demon god gushed out instantly, like melting cinnabar, spreading a large, dazzling red in the dark blue sea.
Fortunately, the regenerative power of a divine and demonic body is astonishing. The flesh at the edges of the wound is visibly writhing, and white buds are growing wildly to fill the hole. Chen Xuan looked at the phoenix hovering in front of him and couldn't help but gasp.
The Ten Ancient Fiends truly lived up to their reputation; their mere physical strength was enough to overwhelm him, making them far more difficult to deal with than the True Immortals he had encountered before.
In a brief moment of catching his breath, he suddenly heard the rustling sound of snake scales rubbing together behind him.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xuan saw that Xiang Liu's eighteen snake-headed arms had wrapped around him, each snake head opening its mouth full of fangs, and a stench wafted towards him.
What he feared most was this kind of restraint—once he was entangled, he wouldn't be able to use his movement skills at all.
"rise!"
Chen Xuan gave a low shout, and the six Beiming Swords suddenly dispersed, forming an impenetrable sword curtain around him;
Lotus flowers bloomed simultaneously on the avenue beneath their feet, their pale golden petals unfolding layer by layer.
729 immortal-grade flying swords flew out from his storage space, swirling and arranging around him like a swarm of bees.
These flying swords were obtained by him from killing cultivators along the way. Although they did not come from the same source, he connected them together with the Great Dao of Array Formation.
With a flash of sword light, 729 flying swords formed an inverted glass dome, firmly enclosing Xiang Liu's corpse inside.
The snake heads and arms slammed into the sword formation with muffled thuds, but the sword wall only rippled a few times and didn't even crack.
Just as Xiangliu was trapped, the seawater on both sides suddenly surged violently.
The phoenix and the yellow dragon flanked from the left and right, respectively. The fiery afterimages created by the phoenix's flapping wings intertwined with the yellow undercurrents stirred up by the yellow dragon's tail swing, subtly forming a complementary yin-yang encirclement.
One was as fast as lightning, the other as heavy as a mountain, blocking all his options for dodging.
