Chapter 497: Chapter 368: Just Kill Them! _2

Li Cheng rose to his feet, "There's no time to lose, let's head for the Sword Burial Sea now!"

There was nothing more for him at the Dayan Divine Sect, and his disciple Qing Cang was familiar enough with the sect elders to be taken with him. Once the boy's cultivation was high enough, he could return.

Soon after, Li Cheng bid farewell to the high-ranking members of the Dayan Divine Sect, took Qing Cang into the Divine World, and made straight for the Sword Burial Sea.

Li Cheng was very clear in his mind that although the Book of Confucius might not be as powerful as the Ancestral Temple of Confucianism, the Book of Confucius was authored by the First Confucius Ancestor and held extraordinary significance. If it could be found, it would undoubtedly cause the Confucian Cultivators of the world to rally.

Several days later, the three of them arrived at a coastline, beyond which lay a boundless ocean stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.

"This is the place. Back then, it's unknown which divine being was battled here, but nearly all of the top powerhouses in the Divine Realm were mobilized, and the result was a catastrophe with nearly all of them dead or wounded. The area spanning hundreds of millions of miles, centered on the Sword Sect, was so devastated that it collapsed and turned into an ocean," Venerable Sou lamented.

Above the Sword Burial Sea, sword cultivators could be seen standing in the air, their eyes slightly closed as they finely sensed the depths of the sea.

Li Cheng swept his Divine Sense across and found many sword cultivators within the sea, all cultivating.

"Have you ever seen or sensed the aura of the Book of Confucius? Lead the way," Li Cheng said.

The two nodded and led the way, flying deep into the Sword Burial Sea before quickly diving downwards.

The sea floor was crisscrossed with ravines, and amongst those ravines were innumerable broken swords, with sword cultivators sitting between them, comprehending the Sword Dao.

"Eh? There's the aura of dead spirits ahead!" Li Cheng suddenly noticed and looked at the Two Venerables of Young and Old.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old showed puzzled faces, with Venerable Tong saying, "The Sword Burial Sea has always been the territory of the living; when did dead spirits get here?"

"This direction is exactly where the Book of Confucius is located!" Venerable Sou said.

Li Cheng contemplated. Since the Netherworld Ancestor had appeared, the dead spirits and the Demon Race had withdrawn, hiding somewhere hard to find, making their traces rare.

Unexpectedly, in the depths of the Sword Burial Sea, there was actually the aura of dead spirits! Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr

"Let's go!"

The three of them rushed through the seabed, and soon arrived at the place emitting the aura of dead spirits.

Venerable Tong scanned the surroundings and looked at Venerable Sou, "Try using the Law of Death, the aura of dead spirits is nearby, but it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location."

Venerable Sou nodded, and the Law of Death swirled around him. In the next second, a nearby broken sword responded!

The broken sword emitted a stream of death energy and then vanished.

Li Cheng was surprised. He tried using various laws as well, but the broken sword showed no reaction at all, only Venerable Sou's Complete Law of Death could trigger a response.

"Such clever means, to hide an Undead World within a broken sword. Unless one is a dead spirit or has mastered the Law of Death completely, it's impossible to find," Venerable Tong said in amazement.

Venerable Sou moved in front of the broken sword, "Don't worry, with me here, we'll definitely be able to open the entrance."

With that, Venerable Sou reached out toward the broken sword as the Law of Death surged once more.

At that moment, a teleportation gate swiftly appeared on the broken sword—the entrance to the Undead World!

The three of them entered in single file, and suddenly their surroundings transformed from the sea floor to a gray and dim land and sky!

"The Book of Confucius is indeed here, I can sense it!" Li Cheng's eyes lit up as he focused on what lay ahead.

In the distance, there was a strong fluctuation of the Confucianism Law, hidden by the deathly aura of this place, but his Complete Confucianism Law could not be mistaken.

"Interesting, there are living beings who've made it into this place!"

From beneath the ground, two skeletons emerged, each as polished as jade. One of the skeletons spoke.

"What's so interesting? Just get rid of them quickly!" the other skeleton said, addressing Li Cheng and his companions, "Get out! This is the territory of dead spirits; we don't welcome the living!"

Li Cheng examined the two members of the Bone Clan in front of him, his eyebrows raising slightly. Both of these individuals possessed Complete Divine Venerable realm cultivation!

Complete Divine Venerable realm powerhouses guarding the entrance?

It seemed there was definitely something extraordinary inside!

"That's right, leave quickly. In the past, you would have had no chance to leave alive, but the Netherworld Ancestor has spoken, and you're lucky to be able to leave with your lives," they said.

"Oh? What did the Netherworld Ancestor say?" Li Cheng asked.

The Bone Clan member scoffed, "What's it to you? Want to know? Then commit suicide, become a dead spirit, and you will be enlightened!"

Li Cheng wasn't angry and said, "Did the Netherworld Ancestor order all the Undead to hide and forbid them from attacking the living?"

The two members of the Bone Clan had the fire in their eye sockets flicker violently, "What do you mean hide? Kid, don't even think about getting information out of us. If you don't leave now, we'll turn you into Undead too!"

"What's the background of this Netherworld Ancestor?" Venerable Sou asked Li Cheng in a low voice. It seemed that Li Cheng might know about the Netherworld Ancestor's existence.

Li Cheng shook his head slightly at Venerable Sou, signaling him not to ask further.

After all, that was an outsider from the Supreme Realm, very likely related to the Styx, and casually talking about it would certainly be sensed by the Netherworld Ancestor.

However, Venerable Sou's words had already been overheard by the two Bone Clan members. The fire in their eye sockets surged as they exclaimed, "Seeking death!"

Hiss-crack!

The two members of the Bone Clan made their move simultaneously, suddenly appearing in front of Venerable Sou, each slapping a palm on his chest!

To their surprise, the ambush was successful, but it felt like striking a wall of bronze and iron. Venerable Sou didn't budge, and they were sent stumbling backward!

"How is this possible? You are not from the Human Tribe! It's impossible for someone from the Human Tribe to have such a powerful physical body!"

Venerable Sou raised his hand and gently brushed off his chest, "Thinking it's easy to bully an old man, huh?"

Whoosh!

Venerable Sou's figure disappeared from the spot, and in the next second, the skulls of the two Bone Clan powerhouses were shattered, leaving only their Divine Souls in the form of bone fire desperately fleeing.

Venerable Sou didn't pursue. He looked at his hands and suddenly laughed, "Having fused with the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, am I really this strong?"

Li Cheng paid no attention to Venerable Sou's vanity and swiftly raced towards the direction of the Book of Confucius.

The Two Venerables of Young and Old hurried to follow.

They had just dashed a few steps when a powerful presence emerged in front of them, and a thunderous voice came, "Living beings, halt!"

Along with the thunderous voice, Li Cheng and his two companions felt a pressure all around them, as Space itself squeezed in.

Li Cheng pushed both palms to the sides, dispersing the converging spatial energy, "A Pseudo Divine Emperor? You can't stop us!"

"What grand words!"

Boom!

A hundred-zhang huge hand emerged from the earth, a terrifying aura of death enveloping it, causing the air to tremble violently.

Following that, another equally gigantic hand reached out from the ground. The two hands pressed down, and the earth shook violently as a giant rose from the earth!

"Corpse Clan!"

A Pseudo Divine Emperor level of the Corpse Clan!

"Merely a Divine Venerable, but there's still time to leave now, otherwise, you'll never leave!" the Corpse Clan member spoke, his voice carrying the Law of Death and deathly energy sweeping out.

Li Cheng looked calm as he assessed the Corpse Clan in front of him, "We are here to retrieve an item, and naturally, we will leave once we have it."

The Corpse Clan member turned to look behind him, understanding what Li Cheng was referring to, but he shook his head, "You can't touch a single grain of sand here, let alone that item!"

Venerable Sou took a step forward, "That is a treasure of the Confucianism Path. Don't you feel uncomfortable having it here? Taking it away is actually doing you a huge favor!"

"Exactly, doesn't the Confucianism treasure suppress and affect you, making you uneasy?" Venerable Tong joined in.

The Corpse Clan member still shook his head, "I'll say it one more time, leave, or die!"

The Two Venerables of Young and Old exchanged glances and then turned to Li Cheng, "Master, we'll hold him off while you quickly retrieve it!"

Having fused with the Holy Scripture of Life and Death, their physical strength was terrifyingly powerful, probably not weaker than an ordinary Divine Emperor. Holding off a Pseudo Divine Emperor for a moment should not be difficult.

Yet, Li Cheng shook his head, "No need! We'll just fight our way through!"

No sooner had he spoken than Li Cheng appeared above the Corpse Clan Divine Emperor's head and launched a punch!

But the Corpse Clan Divine Emperor reacted even faster. His colossal body, which had been sitting, suddenly stood up, using his head to block Li Cheng's punch, seemingly planning to knock Li Cheng into the sky.

However, he clearly underestimated Li Cheng's power. Although he managed to knock Li Cheng into the sky, the punch, infused with the mighty Haoran Justice Air, blazed like the sun and burned a several zhang wide bloody hole through his head!

Li Cheng stabilized his form, looking down at the Corpse Clan Divine Emperor, "Are you up for this? I haven't even used my full strength. If you're not up for it, then get out of the way."
