Black-Robed Master was unable to block Nightking Changfeng's attack, and a fist pierced through his chest. Nightking Changfeng punched out again, and this time, his head exploded.
Hua Ying and the rest stared blankly at Black-Robed Master's corpse. What kind of monster was this?
On the other side, Xun Meiren was having a hard time dealing with the Corpse King's attacks. "Die, traitor!" Ming Zhaochen, the Ming Constables' Master, appeared and attacked Xun Meiren.
Xun Meiren's expression changed, and she hurriedly retreated.
Ming Zhaochen stared at the roaring Corpse King in astonishment. It was only when the Corpse King charged into the crowd and started slaughtering that Ming Zhaochen made his move.
Only Ming Zhaotian, Ming Hao, and a few others knew of the Neohuman Alliance's existence. The previous Demon Hunters Society's Master had coincidentally found out about it, but he had been killed. Ming Zhaochen had only just seen these Corpse Kings.
All of Mingdu trembled, and the ground cracked open. Countless people fled out of the city in fear.
"Ming Zhaoshu, do you really want to destroy Shenwu Continent?" Ming Zhaotian returned from the five sealing planets and appeared in the sky above Mingdu.
Ming Zhaoshu appeared as well. "Brother, it's time to change your mindset. Shenwu Continent's integration into the universe is inevitable."
"You're courting death!" Ming Zhaotian was enraged. Very soon, the sounds of two people fighting could be heard in the sky.
Ming Hao stood in the palace with an ugly expression. The situation had spiraled out of control, and those monsters had been discovered. There was no way to hide it, and even if they had suppressed Ming Zhaoshu in this battle, they would not be able to explain the existence of those monsters.
Underground, Lu Yin was clashing with the Corpse King. He had his universal armor, so he was not afraid of a direct confrontation. The Corpse King's mind was not clear, and it was only blindly attacking. Lu Yin was waiting for the moment when it was exhausted.
The Corpse King's defenses were too strong, and Lu Yin knew that even if he attacked with all his strength, he would only be able to injure the Corpse King with his Dream Finger. All other attacks would be ineffective.
Suddenly, the Corpse King's roars changed, and it raised its head. Its scarlet eyes had turned gray, and the number of rune lines that represented it had become the same as what Lu Yin had seen before, which was comparable to Kong Shi's.
"Corpse King! Run, Seventh Bro!" the monkey shrieked.
Run?
Lu Yin had long since guessed that this Corpse King's rune lines were far less than Kong Shi's. This was its true form, and Lu Yin had been aiming for this state.
Bang bang bang bang
After more than ten consecutive collisions, the gray-eyed Corpse King was indeed much stronger than before. Although Lu Yin was not injured due to his universal armor's defenses, the recoil still shocked him. If not for the universal armor, then his physical body and Fatesand would not have been able to withstand such an attack. This was an attack that had reached the level of a peak Hunter.
This Corpse King was different from Kong Shi. Even though Kong Shi was a peak Hunter, she did not specialize in physical strength. However, this Corpse King specialized in physical strength. No matter how confident Lu Yin was, he did not want to compete in physical strength with a Corpse King that was almost at the peak of the Hunter realm.
There was a loud boom as Lu Yin was forced back more than ten steps by the Corpse King's punch. In the next moment, Lu Yin's forcefield appeared, and the towering tree's branches bound the Corpse King. The Corpse King tore through the branches and charged towards Lu Yin once more. Lu Yin grabbed the Corpse King's arms, and the two of them flew into the sky. They pierced through the ground and into the sky above Mingdu. At that moment, the entire city was split in two.
Nightking Changfeng looked up, and his pupils shrank. What the hell was that?
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back. His body was struck by an enormous force. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was fiercely smashed forward. A young man appeared.
When Hua Ying and the others saw him, they cried out in alarm, "Wu Qing?"
Wu Qing, first place on the List of Tempering.
Nightking Changfeng turned around. Wu Qing?
He had heard of Wu Qing, who was first on the List of Tempering. Nightking Changfeng did not care about the List of Tempering at all, as it only recorded Limiteers. This person should also be a Limiteer, but how had he been able to injure Nightking Changfeng?
Even when Lu Yin had been a Limiteer, he should not have been able to injure Nightking Changfeng in one blow.
Wu Qing walked towards Nightking Changfeng. If Lu Yin had been here, he would have definitely recognized that this person was not Wu Qing. He was Wu Shang, one of the people who had entered the Shenwu Continent with Lu Yin. He had wanted to join the Ming Constables, but he had been exposed by Ming Zhaocai and had been hunted down.
At that time, Lu Yin had felt that this person's strength was cold and sinister, and it was very similar to that of the Neohuman Alliance. Now, his guess had been confirmed. Wu Shang's eyes changed, and they turned gray.
Even within the Neohuman Alliance, there were not many who could control a Corpse King Transformation. However, on the tiny Shenwu Continent, two Corpse Kings had appeared at once.
Wu Shang completely released his strength. He was not a Limiteer, but an Explorer. He had broken through long ago.
Nightking Changfeng could feel Wu Shang's strength, especially that pair of gray eyes, which made his scalp go numb. "Gray Eyes — Corpse King Transformation."
As a member of the Nightking clan, he was no stranger to Corpse Kings. Countless experts from the Daynight clan had died to Corpse Kings, so he was instinctively afraid of them.
Bang!
Soon, the two began to fight. Nightking Changfeng activated his Nightking's Body and erupted with all his strength, but Wu Shang's Corpse King Transformation had greatly increased his strength. Both sides clashed once, and Hua Ying and the others were sent flying.
In the distance, a foreign cultivator was panting heavily as he killed a Corpse King. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest as a sword protruded from his body. Blood flowed down the blade and dripped onto the ground. Soon after, the cultivator's vision went black, and he died.
Li Zimo sheathed his sword and looked elsewhere before charging out once more.
Mingdu was completely overturned on this day. For countless years, the Shenwu Empire's capital had never experienced such a drastic change. Crown Prince Ming Hao watched as the capital was destroyed, and it was as if he could see the end of the Shenwu Empire.
Thunder rumbled in the sky above Mingdu. It was clearly daytime, but the city was shrouded in darkness. The intense battle between Ming Zhaoshu and Ming Zhaotian, as well as the battle between Lu Yin and the Corpse King, took place high up in the sky.
The entire city was shrouded in fear and unease.
Ming Hao had mobilized all of the hidden experts in the palace to deal with the foreign cultivators and Ming Zhaoshu's people.
The five sealing planets trembled, causing tsunamis and volcanoes to erupt across Shenwu Continent. Hidden experts rushed into the sky, vowing to protect the five sealing planets with their lives.
These people did not participate in the struggle for the throne, but they would not allow the five sealing planets to be destroyed.
Bang!
Bang! Two loud sounds rang out as Lu Yin and the Corpse King each received an attack from their opponent. Lu Yin was struck down and crashed into a lake, while the Corpse King was sent flying into the sky, landing right in the middle of the battlefield between Ming Zhaotian and Ming Zhaoshu.
Ming Zhaoshu's aura burst forth, and a figure clad in imperial robes reached out to grab the Corpse King. The Corpse King raised its head, and its grey eyes were chilling. Ming Zhaoshu subconsciously retreated.
"Ming Zhaoshu, it's not too late to stop," Ming Zhaotian warned as he attacked Ming Zhaoshu.
Ming Zhaoshu coldly retorted, "Brother, can't you see that monster?
It's not human at all. Do you want to hand the entire Shenwu Continent over to such a monster?
How can you face your ancestors? "
"As long as we can repel the foreign cultivators, I'm willing to pay any price!" Ming Zhaotian roared.
There was a boom, and the two clashed once more.
The Corpse King locked onto Lu Yin and charged down like a meteor. Lu Yin dodged, and the Corpse King crashed into the ground. A giant crack spread across the surface of the lake, evaporating all of the water and spreading throughout the entire city.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched, as the transformed Corpse King could not be killed at all. Its strength seemed to be limitless, and when combined with its innate gift of metal, it was practically undying. Lu Yin had no other choice, so he took out his pike.
The moment the pike appeared, the winds and clouds surged. It was an innate spiritual force attack, and Lu Yin had upgraded it six times. It had consumed a total of 20,000 star essence, and the damage it dealt to spiritual force was far greater than before.
Formless undulations spread out from the pike and swept through the entire city. Those with weak willpower immediately fainted.
Nightking Changfeng's expression changed. Was this a spiritual force attack?
How could it be so strong?
Furthermore, its range seemed to cover the entire city.
In the sky, Ming Zhaoshu and Ming Zhaotian also felt the same thing, and they looked down in shock.
Lu Yin gripped the pike tightly and stabbed it out. The pike pierced through the void and pierced through the roaring Corpse King. The Corpse King was lifted up by the pike and roared in anger. Lu Yin frowned, as this thing did not have any intelligence, and its strength was completely dependent on the Corpse King's Transformation. In other words, spiritual force attacks were not very useful against it. Fortunately, the pike had not only been upgraded to a spiritual force attack, but also to its own sharpness.
The Corpse King gripped the pike so tightly that Lu Yin almost lost his grip, so he loosened his grip. The Corpse King pulled the pike out of its body and threw it into the sky before swiping at Lu Yin with its claws. Lu Yin waved his hand and activated the Yu Secret Art. The pike vanished, but when it reappeared, it was in Lu Yin's hand again. He stabbed out, and the pike pierced right through the Corpse King's head.
The Corpse King froze in place, and aside from the trembling of its fingers, it did not advance any further as its strength gradually disappeared.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as the spear was indeed an ancient artifact. It had even managed to break through the Corpse King's defenses, which meant that the 20,000 star essence that he had spent on it had not been in vain. It should be known that the spear had been upgraded to the point where it could kill an Enlighter, but it had only consumed 27,000 star essence, which was only half of the cost of the pike.
Lu Yin pulled the pike back, and the Corpse King's head exploded with a bang. Its corpse fell to the ground and could no longer move. The metallic luster on its body had also dimmed.
Lu Yin put the pike away and sighed in relief.
On the other side, Nightking Changfeng, who was still clashing with Wu Shang, wanted to withdraw. His main goal was not the Neohuman Alliance, but rather Lu Yin. As long as he could kill Lu Yin, the Neohuman Alliance could do whatever they wanted. At worst, he could invite the Enlighters from Ironblood Weave to completely destroy Shenwu Continent.
After being forced back by Wu Shang's attack, Nightking Changfeng turned around and left. He wanted to find Xun Meiren and cooperate with her to kill Lu Yin. However, he did not see that the moment he turned around, Wu Shang's gray eyes had turned green. This was a Corpse King's second transformation.
Nightking Changfeng had only taken a few steps when he felt his scalp go numb. He turned around and saw a pair of green eyes and a palm. He instinctively raised his hand to block. With his Nightking's Body, seven-lined battle force, and Jadeskin, his strength had pushed him to the high position of 21st on the Top 100 Rankings. However, that palm had shattered his hand, and it had pierced through his abdomen. A bloody heart was still beating within the palm.
Nightking Changfeng's mouth fell open, and he stared in despair at the green eyes that were only a few centimeters away from him. This was a Corpse King's second transformation! How was this possible? How could there be a monster in the Outerverse that could reach the second transformation?
Even in the Innerverse, such a monster rarely appeared. Shouldn't these monsters be in the Neoverse?
Shouldn't they be fighting against the Hall of Honor?
Nightking Changfeng's vision darkened, and his entire body turned cold. He could hear his own heartbeat, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the pale faces of Hua Ying and the others. His thoughts gradually faded away.
