chapter-1532

The entire chamber was in a state of chaos.

On the ground, countless corpses opened their eyes and scrambled to jump up, pouncing toward all the inheritances, authorities, and Great Emperor treasures indiscriminately.

They displayed a determined attitude as if they believed that grabbing one would be a gain and grabbing two would be an immense gain.

After the old woman’s absorption was stopped by Lin Kun, both sides started fighting. The light of spells flashed and the aura of the Ruler realm erupted, forming an even more terrifying lethal force.

Moreover, their authorities were affecting the laws here and colliding invisibly.

Booming sounds continued.

The energy waves shattered a large number of corpses. However, there were too many corpses here, so some still took this opportunity to pounce on the inheritances, authorities, and treasures.

They tried to knock them into the stone gate where Xu Qing and Erniu were.

The old woman was extraordinary. Although she was fighting against the Fifth Ruler who had transformed into Lin Kun, she wasn’t at a disadvantage. In fact, even while counterattacking, her absorption wasn’t completely interrupted.

It was still ongoing.

The immortal skeleton was still dissipating.

However, the speed was much slower. Moreover, under the collision of the corpses controlled by Xu Qing and Erniu, the inheritances, authorities, and Great Emperor treasures were starting to move again.

All of this took a long time to describe but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye.

The previously balanced situation was directly disrupted with the appearance of the old woman and the intervention of the Fifth Ruler.

The situation became volatile in an instant.

As for the other parties, their expressions were gloomy. Some revealed looks of contemplation, and some had cold expressions. However… as Rulers, their minds weren’t simple, so their thoughts couldn’t be seen through their expressions.

Moreover, those who could come here were naturally prepared.

Hence, all the appearances might be intentional.

Only they themselves knew the details.

However, no matter what, the change in the situation ultimately had a huge impact on this place. Under the chain effect, more accidents might happen.

Hence, a few breaths later, another Ruler entered the chamber.

The person who rushed out was the woman in palace clothes who held the octagonal mirror.

With a step, she moved past the stone gate and entered the chamber. Her figure turned blurry and when her appearance was clear, she was already behind the old woman. One of her hands reached out to a Dao mark authority beside her and the other pressed down on the old woman’s body.

Her appearance caused the intensity of the situation here to rise again.

The old woman let out a shout. At this moment, she decisively gave up on absorbing the immortal skeleton. At the same time, the extreme black light on her body suddenly erupted.

It formed a huge black sphere that was like a black hole.

Wherever it spread, it would cut through everything.

The expressions of the Fifth Ruler who had transformed into Lin Kun and the woman in palace clothes changed and they retreated separately. However, they didn’t forget to raise their hands to grab their target items.

At this moment, another Ruler entered the chamber.

It was the youth who had smiled at Xu Qing and Erniu and had tried to obtain a treasure with silk.

His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he entered the chamber. His target wasn’t the old woman but an inheritance mark in the surroundings.

Immediately after, a cold snort echoed out. The body of the scholarly-looking youth overlapped and dissipated like a bubble. When he reappeared… he was already near a Great Emperor treasure that looked like a compass. He raised his hand and grabbed it.

The instant he grabbed it, a black shadow moved past him.

It was the old man who had a conflict with Xu Qing and Erniu.

He also chose to rush in. However, what was different from the others was that… his first choice wasn’t to attack the old woman or grab the treasures here. Instead, he flicked his sleeve.

Immediately, the death energy formed a storm that swept through this place.

This storm didn’t have much effect on the Rulers but to the corpses controlled by Xu Qing and Erniu, it was fatal.

In the blink of an eye, a rumbling sound echoed as though they had been purified. All the corpses that pounced on the inheritance marks, authorities, and treasures turned into ashes in the storm.

This was clearly a targeted attack.

After doing this, the old man sneered and began to snatch the treasures here.

Seeing this scene, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. The hatred in Erniu’s heart grew intense and his expression turned malevolent.

“Is he certain we won’t dare to enter?”

“F*ck, he is blocking our gains. This is an irreconcilable life-and-death grudge!!”

Erniu shouted and madness appeared in his eyes. He saw so many treasures but couldn’t obtain them. This feeling was enough to drive him crazy.

Hence, he did something even crazier.

He actually raised his hand and slashed down, cutting off his head…

He then threw the head to Xu Qing.

A shout came out from the mouth of the head.

“Little Qing, help me keep it safe!”

After saying that, Erniu’s headless body exploded, transforming into countless blue worms that emitted intense greed and madness. With extreme malevolence, it directly rushed past the stone gate and into the chamber.

It pounced toward the shield-like Great Emperor treasure that he and Xu Qing had their eyes on the earliest.

Xu Qing wasn’t surprised by Eldest Senior Brother’s actions and immediately cooperated. Almost at the instant Erniu transformed into worms and rushed over, Xu Qing’s Six Thieves Delusions authority activated.

It transformed into countless seven emotions and six desires threads that connected to the head of the Eldest Senior Brother in his arms.

This was to help Eldest Senior Brother resist the damage from the soul level together.

At the same time, he took out a mask.

The expression of this mask was compassionate. It was none other than the compassion mask Xu Qing had obtained in the Immortal Arts Hall back then.

The effect of this human skin mask was that after wearing it, one could share half of the damage suffered by the person they were looking at.

Xu Qing wore it on his face without the slightest hesitation. After that, he stared at Erniu.

At this moment, the scene in the chamber was extremely chaotic.

The black sphere formed by the old woman erupted outwards.

The Fifth Ruler who had transformed into Lin Kun and the woman in palace clothes were retreating to collect the inheritances.

As for the youth, the scholar, and the old man, they were also on guard against each other while trying to take their target items.

Everyone’s expression was one of distrust and selfishness.

Hence, the blue worms that pounced on the Great Emperor treasure first faced the pressure and aura emitted by many Rulers. After that, they suffered the damage from the aftershocks of their fight.

Finally, they faced the threat of the old man who had a grudge against them rapidly approaching.

Hence, at the next instant, under the shared damage effect, Xu Qing’s body trembled violently and blood spurted out, flowing down the mask.

His body felt like it was about to shatter and his soul was in intense pain.

His body staggered and he held onto the wall at the side to barely steady himself. His body emitted a clear sense of weakness.

Erniu’s head also bled from all seven orifices and began to rot.

At this moment, most of the worms formed by his body had collapsed. The remaining worms were also destroyed by the old man’s storm.

The difference in their cultivation levels caused Xu Qing and Erniu to have no way to gain anything in such a chaotic situation.

However… just like the appearance of a person, it couldn’t be used as a basis to judge people’s thoughts.

Sometimes, it was the same for chaotic situations.

Perhaps, the more chaotic it was, the more order there was.

At that moment, amidst the chaos where it seemed everyone was acting out of self-interest and pursuing their own gains, they suddenly turned in unison. It was as if they had coordinated their positions perfectly despite being spread out.

In that instant, their auras surged far beyond what they had been before, all targeting a seemingly empty space that they had secretly sealed off under the cover of chaos. As if prearranged, they all struck simultaneously.

The youth’s attack formed a huge red hammer.

The scholar’s killing intent transformed into an ancient book. His authority erupted and the pages flipped.

The old man raised his hand and gathered countless auras of death, forming a gate of death. When the gate opened, a large black hand stretched out and grabbed fiercely.

There was also the Fifth Ruler who had transformed into Lin Kun and the woman in palace clothes.

At this moment, they all unleashed their trump cards.

The instant they attacked, the eyes of the weak Xu Qing flashed and the feeling of weakness dissipated. The Holy Heavenly Vine quickly rushed out of his body and headed straight for the underground palace, wrapping around the shield-like Great Emperor treasure.

He ruthlessly tugged.

In the underground palace, one of the blue worms that had been destroyed earlier was still alive. At this moment, it suddenly jumped up and rapidly split into hundreds and thousands of little worms. They gathered together and charged toward the shield treasure.

Previously, it looked like Erniu was the one snatching the treasure but in reality, this was just on the surface. When he and Xu Qing looked at each other, they would know each other’s intentions.

Hence, it would be best if his appearance could act as a disguise. Even if it didn’t work, it would still be a help.

It would be Xu Qing’s turn to make a move.

At that moment, rumbling sounds filled the sky.

In the empty space where the various Rulers had bombarded, the void distorted and a figure appeared. He quickly retreated as though he wanted to dodge but it was too late.

Finally, before blood gushed out, the figure used an unknown method to disintegrate on its own. By paying a huge price, it finally escaped death.

When it reappeared, it had already teleported out of the trap and appeared on the altar.

It was the Yun family’s ancestor.

His expression was gloomy. He knew that his plan had been seen through by these people and he also knew that all their previous actions were just a disguise. In reality, they had long secretly joined forces.

At the same time, his gaze swept past the stone gate where Xu Qing and Erniu were at.

He saw that the shield treasure was pulled over by the vine under the crazed collision of the blue worms earlier.

However, it was obvious that the focus now wasn’t the Great Emperor treasure but these Rulers.

Hence, the Yun family’s ancestor retracted his gaze and looked around.

Everyone naturally noticed Xu Qing and Erniu’s actions. Other than the old man who frowned, the other Rulers were all paying attention to the Yun family’s ancestor.

They had indeed joined forces.

The moment the old woman had appeared, they determined that there was something wrong with her. Some even sensed that she was a living dead.

However, this was an open plan. Even if they saw through it, they still had to intervene. Hence, they decided to beat the mastermind at his own game and take advantage of the chaos to set up a trap. They wanted to force the hidden person out and kill him.

“As expected, it’s you.” The Fifth Ruler, who had transformed into Lin Kun, stared at the Yun family’s ancestor and spoke coldly.

“There’s no point in saying anything else. Just kill him!” Killing intent rose in the eyes of the woman in palace clothes beside him. She was the first to make a move and headed straight for the Yun family’s ancestor.

However, the instant everyone rushed out…

The expression of the Yun family’s ancestor revealed a bizarre expression. He then slapped his forehead in front of everyone.

He committed suicide on the spot.

The instant he died, his body collapsed and a large amount of blood splattered on the immortal skeleton.

At the same time, the old woman also closed her eyes. Her body collapsed, turning into ashes.

Wind blew in the chamber.

In the wind, all the inheritances trembled.

All the Dao mark authorities fluctuated intensely.

The Great Emperor treasures started awakening!

As for the immortal skeleton, after it was dyed in blood, its withered eyelids slowly… opened.

A terrifying aura erupted from it!
