In the army of headless corpses, the giant beast was like a ferocious tiger, looking disdainfully in all directions. The headless corpses surrounding it roared and pounced together.
Boom!
The giant beast's two iron hooves, which seemed to be cast from molten iron, stomped heavily on the void, causing the air to explode like layers of waves.
This giant beast stared at one of the headless corpses and pounced on it. Like a black bullet, it rammed into it at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. One could only see that on the hard chest of this headless corpse, a ball of blood suddenly exploded, and then a huge hole appeared.
In the bloody hole, no blood flowed out.
Did they already run out of blood?
Under the shine of the blood moon, a black shadow suddenly sprang out from the back of this headless corpse. It was the giant beast. The Empress was still sitting on its back, but she was not as elegant as before. Her body was scattered with broken flesh and blood, and her soft gauze skirt was stained with blood, tightly clinging to the giant beast's scales.
The giant beast roared and turned its head to look at the remaining headless corpses. Like a raging bull, it roared and pounded fiercely.
Bang, bang, bang!
These headless corpses' huge bodies were like solid walls. Under the giant beast's pounding, although they did not collapse, a huge hole was smashed open.
These holes happened to be the location of the heart.
Originally, with the giant beast's size, even if its body was smashed open, it would not be too serious of an injury, and could be easily recovered.
However, the giant beast was pounding on the heart. If during the pounding process, the souls of these headless corpses were crushed together with their hearts using a special method, then they would die without a doubt.
Did they still have hearts?
Pfft!
After the giant beast sprang out from the back of a headless corpse, the Empress, who was sitting on its back, held a piece of fine cloth in her hand. It looked like a piece of cloth, but also like a piece of paper. There were small secret patterns on it, like earthworms crisscrossing on it, covering the whole piece of cloth.
This piece of cloth was naturally pulled out from the headless corpses' bodies.
Could it be that their hearts had been replaced with such runes?
Could it be that they were able to hibernate for countless years without dying because they no longer had hearts?
The giant beast was like a black hurricane, sweeping towards the dozens of headless ancient corpses. It was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, harvesting these corpses that were supposed to be dead. After each headless ancient corpse was pierced by it, its body trembled slightly, the skin on its surface twisted and contracted, as if it had aged in an instant. Then, it raised its head and fell down, shaking the earth until it finally stopped moving.
A handsome young man hiding behind a headless corpse turned pale with fright. Even though he knew the weaknesses of these headless corpses, it would still take some time to kill them. It would not be as wild and ferocious as this giant beast!
He gritted his teeth and teleported into the distance.
This teleportation took him over a hundred thousand kilometers.
He heaved a sigh of relief. Although the headless ancient corpses were no match for the giant beast, they were still able to buy him enough time to escape.
However, when he walked out of the teleportation space, his expression changed.
This was because a young man in black stood in front of him. His ink-black hair fluttered in the air. He had a slender figure, a cold face, and eyes that were as deep and bright as the stars. There was not a trace of emotion in them.
The most frightening thing was that the aura emanating from his body was actually lingering with a strong scent of Wind Origin Source Law.
This person was naturally Ye Chen.
"Who are you?" the handsome young man asked coldly.
"You don't need to know."
"Why?"
"Because you're going to become a dead man next."
Ye Chen slowly raised his hand. A miniature tornado condensed in his palm, twisting the surrounding space.
"You're from the Truth World?"
The handsome young man stared at him, his eyes full of hatred. "You from the Truth World want to interfere? I advise you to step aside. When that monster comes after us, none of us will be able to escape."
"You're the only one who won't be able to escape."
Ye Chen was expressionless. He took a step forward, and the fierce wind that filled the sky suddenly became stronger. It was as if a doomsday storm had been set off. The biting cold wind swept toward the handsome young man like a tornado.
The handsome young man stared at him coldly and suddenly said, "You seem to have forgotten that the things that we from the Heart World cultivate are the nemesis of your Truth World!"
Before he finished speaking, he stomped his foot on the void, and a surge of power shot into the air and spread to the ground below.
On the ground tens of thousands of kilometers away, a huge pit suddenly exploded. More than a dozen earth dragons formed from black rocks rushed out from the pit and flew up against the sky.
"You seem to have forgotten that you're now in the sky. This is my master."
Ye Chen glanced at the dozen earth dragons under his feet. With a light flick of his finger, an extremely thin and sharp green light flashed out. Instantly, the necks of the earth dragons were cut off like cucumbers.
Ye Chen's finger flicked a few times in succession.
Bang bang bang …
More than a dozen earth dragons were cut into more than a dozen pieces by the invisible wind blades. They fell down like small hills in large chunks.
The handsome young man's face changed. He gave Ye Chen a vicious look, and then suddenly rushed toward the ground. He wanted to teleport, but the surrounding heaven and earth were sealed. In the sky, Ye Chen had the absolute advantage.
Ye Chen looked down at him coldly as a dense and bright cyan light slowly appeared on his forehead, as if it was carved by a knife. Even the world around him began to burn like boiling water. Waves of wind roared and gathered above his head, forming a terrifying power that was like a stormy sea.
"Sound of the Wind!"
A green light flashed across Ye Chen's pitch-black pupils. He raised his hand and pointed downward.
Woo woo woo …
The whistling wind blew the whole world as if it was crying. Countless pieces of air were like glass shards, being lifted and flipped.
The handsome young man suddenly turned his head. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip in an instant, and his face was filled with horror.
…
In the sky above the Imperial Capital.
Plop, plop …
The headless ancient corpses kept falling down. The giant beast was like a fly, and its speed was like lightning. Dozens of headless ancient corpses were scuttling, and in the end, only two or three were left.
The empress was covered in blood. Her delicate cheeks were already somewhat numb.
Puff!
After the giant beast pierced through a headless ancient corpse, it stopped for a moment. When it was about to attack again, suddenly, two subtle fluctuations came.
The empress suddenly reacted and cried out involuntarily, "Be careful —"
Before she could finish her words, the chests of the two headless ancient corpses exploded into a bloody pit. Pieces of flesh splashed out from inside, and the corpses fell on their backs with their bodies facing the sky.
Suddenly, a pitch-black figure appeared in front of the giant beast. He was holding the clothes on the back of a corpse. He stood casually and naturally, and looked at the giant beast's bell-like eyes with a gentle gaze. He said softly, "Long time no see."
The empress, who was sitting on the giant beast's back, widened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at the corpse in the hands of the black-clothed young man. It was actually the handsome young man who escaped earlier. She did not expect that such a powerful person would be killed by this black-clothed young man in front of her!
While she was still in shock, she suddenly felt the giant beast's body wriggling. Then, her body suddenly became light, and she was thrown down by the giant beast.
The giant beast's body turned into a ball of light and quickly shrunk into a human figure. Then, the light dissipated, revealing Zhuge Fan's figure.
"Big Brother Ye!"
Zhuge Fan was covered in blood, and there was unconcealable fatigue on his face. However, at this moment, he was looking at Ye Chen with surprise and immediately pounced on him.
"It's you, it's really you!" Zhuge Fan was so excited that he was incoherent. "Big Brother Ye, you're still alive, you're actually still alive!
Last time, I heard from Master that you dug out your heart and gave it to the third miss of the Bai family. I didn't expect you to still be alive, you're still alive!!! "
A warm current flowed through Ye Chen's heart. He smiled and stroked Zhuge Fan's hair, patted his shoulder and said, "I won't die so early. But you, I didn't expect you to be the reincarnation of the Rock King. And looking at the situation, it seems that a portion of the power in your body has awakened."
Zhuge Fan scratched his head embarrassedly. "Only a little. If you had awakened more, I would have known what your previous life was like."
Ye Chen looked at him unhappily. "Who told you that I have a previous life?"
"How could you not have one?"
Zhuge Fan seemed to have returned to the lively boy from back then. He smiled and said, "For someone like you to be able to reach this step and be so powerful, you must have great luck. I really want to know what you were in the past."
Ye Chen knocked his head. "You're quite scheming."
Zhuge Fan stuck out his tongue. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to the Moon Empress. He smiled and said, "Sister Moon Spirit, this is the Brother Ye that I always tell you about.
Brother Ye, this is the Empress of the Divine Rock Empire. "
He introduced Ye Chen and the Moon Spirit Empress to each other.
Moon Spirit could not help but take another look at Zhuge Fan. After being together for so long, she had never seen such a happy and pure smile from this boy. It was as if at this moment, he was no longer the cold and indifferent guard by her side, but an innocent and carefree big boy.
She raised her head and looked at Ye Chen. Her heart was filled with curiosity.
Ye Chen looked at her and nodded slightly. He didn't say anything.
He lowered his head and asked Zhuge Fan, "Where are the White Dragon and the rest? Aren't they with you?"
"We separated to cultivate. Everyone discussed and said that we would work hard to become stronger and avenge you!" Zhuge Fan clenched his fist and said.
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. He patted Zhuge Fan's shoulder and said, "Let's talk in the city."
"That's right."
Moon Spirit followed up at this moment. Her cheeks were stained with blood, but her sweet smile still gave people a breathtaking feeling. "It's not too late to talk in the city. It's rare for you two brothers to meet. I'll prepare some food and wine for you to celebrate."
"Sure!" Zhuge Fan smiled and agreed.
After the battle just now, there was some commotion in the imperial city. The huge hole in the man-made energy shield was like the head of a demon looking down at everyone. It made people panic.
Ye Chen and Zhuge Fan were led by Moon Spirit to the most luxurious palace in the imperial city.
"I'm going to a place soon. Do you have time to accompany me?" Once they entered the palace, Ye Chen looked at Moon Spirit and then lowered his head to look at Zhuge Fan.
