Chapter 1
Collecting the Emperor’s Corpse
“Welcome to the Invincible Corpse Collection System!”
“Ding, you have been cursed by your fiancée, Jiang Qingxue. You only have 20 hours left to live. Please extend your life!”
“Congratulations to the user for obtaining the heaven burial bronze coffin!”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a corpse map. The map records the specific location of the corpses of powerhouses within a radius of 10000 miles. You can search for them according to the map.”
“Ding, your current enhancement multiplier is ten times!”
...
Boom!
An extraordinarily ancient and mysterious bronze coffin appeared out of thin air before Lin Wudao, accompanied by a cold voice.
At the same time, a simple and unadorned scroll appeared in his hand.
They were the heaven burial bronze coffin and the corpse map!
“What’s up with this?”
“It seems like I transmigrated!”
Looking at the heaven burial bronze coffin and the corpse map, Lin Wudao realized that he had transmigrated to an unfamiliar world.
It was a mythological world where Great Emperors fought for supremacy!
He was reborn.
Lin Wudao was overjoyed.
However, what terrified him was that he only had 20 hours left to live.
“I’ve just transmigrated, and I’m already facing death!”
“What a hellish beginning.”
He let out a deep sigh.
After saying that, he focused on the Invincible Corpse Collection System.
A moment later, Lin Wudao finally understood the function of the system.
According to the system’s description, as long as he collected the corpses of the powerhouses, he could obtain items that the dead had or had touched before they died, and they would be strengthened.
These items could have been strengthened a minimum of ten times!
The item could even have been strengthened to the extreme at the highest level.
The only way to become stronger was to collect corpses!
“Right now, I only have 20 hours left to live. So if I want to live in this world, the system is my only life-saving straw. Even if there’s only a slim chance of survival, I must treasure it,” Lin Wudao murmured.
While speaking, he spread out the corpse map.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the initially static map suddenly bloomed with a trace of light. Then, a crimson human-shaped mark came into view.
In the rising light, some information was visible.
[ Character: Jiang Taichu ]
[ Identity: the Eighth Emperor of the Primordial Imperial race! ]
[ Cultivation: Ninth Heavenly Layer Emperor ]
[ Burial location: Divine Ruins ]
[ Status: Dead ]
...
Hiss...
A great emperor had died nearby?
Looking at the information on the corpse map, Lin Wudao could not help but take a deep breath as a strong sense of shock appeared.
The Great Emperor, the supreme existence of mortals!
That was a supreme existence that could suppress an extraordinary world and rule the world for all eternity!
To Lin Wudao’s surprise, the Great Emperor had fallen into the tiny land of Jiuzhou. This was beyond his imagination.
However, after the initial shock, he was overjoyed.
The Great Emperor!
What would he get if he took his body?
The Emperor’s scripture?
Extreme-grade Emperor weapon?
Medicine of immortality?
...
All sorts of Emperor-exclusive items appeared in his mind one after another, causing Lin Wudao’s blood to boil.
The Divine Ruins was the forbidden land of the human world!
It has been passed down since ancient times. It is related to the war between the gods and the demons in the distant past. It contains supreme opportunities and fortunes. But, at the same time, it also has great terror.
“According to the corpse map, Jiang Taichu’s corpse isn’t far from the Divine Ruins, only about eight hundred miles or so. So if I can enter, there’s an excellent possibility of successfully collecting the corpse. ”
...
“The problem now is how to enter the Divine Ruins,” Lin Wudao frowned.
The Divine Ruins were hidden in the depths of the endless void!
According to ancient legends, it would only appear once every three thousand years and contained a terrifying power. Even if one entered it, one might not be able to come out alive.
“What can I do,” Lin Wudao thought.
Seeing the corpse of the Great Emperor in front of him but being unable to collect it got Lin Wudao very annoyed.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud sound came from the outside world.
At this moment, Lin Wudao felt a terrifying pressure sweep over him, causing his soul to tremble, and he almost could not breathe.
“What’s going on?”
He pushed the door open and looked in the direction of the sound.
Boom!
...
Boom!
Boom!
...
On the distant horizon was a mighty man holding an ancient, vast black cauldron. He was crazily striking the vast void.
The terrifying power it released pierced through the sky.
Countless cracks visible to the naked eye continuously appeared.
Finally, under the mysterious man’s fierce attacks, the black cauldron’s power pierced through the sky and opened a void passage.
“Hiss...”
“What kind of unparalleled existence is that?” Lin Wudao exclaimed in shock.
He was shocked by the scene in front of him!
It was a power that did not belong to the mortal world.
Thump, thump, thump...
Just as Lin Wudao was in shock, a green-robed elder appeared in a panic. When he saw an uninjured Lin Wudao, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Young Master, I’m glad you’re fine!”
“Uncle Han, what just happened? What was the void being pierced?” Lin Wudao asked, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the green-robed elder was silent for a long while before slowly speaking, “Young Master, that’s a powerhouse from the Primordial Imperial race!”
“They’re opening up the passage into the Divine Ruins.”
The Primordial Imperial race?
Divine Ruins?
Lin Wudao’s spirit was lifted.
“The Primordial Imperial race also wants to enter the Divine Ruins?”
“That’s right!”
“According to ancient legends, around 80000 years ago, the Great Emperor of the Primordial Imperial race, unfortunately, fell into the Divine Ruins. However, for 80000 years, the Primordial Imperial race has never given up searching for him.”
“Every time the Divine Ruins reappears in the world, they will use their emperor weapons to forcefully open up a passage and send people in to search for the Great Emperor’s corpse.”
“However, in the past 80000 years, they have not succeeded,” the green-robed elder explained patiently, his words filled with endless yearning and respect!
Lin Wudao did not pay any attention to his reaction.
At this moment, he only knew that the Primordial Imperial race had opened the passageway to the Divine Ruins.
“Uncle Han, only people from the Primordial Imperial race can enter the Divine Ruins?”
“Of course not!”
“It’s said that the Divine Ruins was the battlefield of the great battle between gods and devils in the distant era. The essence and resentment of those fallen gods and devils turned into endless chaotic mist.”
“That chaotic mist is bizarre. Not only does it fill the entire Divine Ruins, but it can also shield the senses of living beings and even corrode one’s cultivation.”
“The more powerful a living being is, the more significant the damage they suffer when entering the Divine Ruins.”
“Hence, even though the Primordial Imperial race used their sovereign weapons to open up a path to the Divine Ruins throughout the ages, they would not enter. Instead, they would send others to search for the Great Emperor’s corpse.”
“The Primordial Imperial race promised that whoever could help them find the body of the Great Emperor would have three of their wishes fulfilled.”
“That’s why every time the Primordial Imperial race opens up a passageway to the Divine Ruins, it attracts countless people. All of them want to find the corpse of the Great Emperor, and from there, they would ascend the ranks.”
So that was how it was!
Lin Wudao’s eyes glittered.
Initially, he was still vexed over how to enter the Divine Ruins. Now, the Primordial Imperial race had opened up a passage for him.
Even the heavens were helping him!
At the thought of this, Lin Wudao took a deep breath and looked at the green-robed elder beside him.
“Uncle Han, I want to go and try my luck!”
What?
“Young Master, what are you doing?”
“Uncle Han, I was born with no special talent. No matter how hard I hone my cultivation skills, there is only so far I can go. I will not be able to achieve anything in my life.”
“Therefore, I want to go to the Divine Ruins to see if I can defy the heavens and change my fate,” Lin Wudao said with anticipation.
The green-robed elder was about to refuse. However, when he saw Lin Wudao’s sorrowful and despairing eyes, he sighed.
“Alright, then...”
“I’ll personally send you over, Young Master!”
The green-robed elder took out a spiritual boat and left the manor with Lin Wudao.
