Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Qingfeng Li’s body sank deeper and deeper into the Gravity Swamp. He quickly channeled the vital essence in his body to create a defensive light veil.

Black mud and water from all four directions came crashing down onto his body, but the light veil was able to deflect it all.

Using his clairvoyance with his right eye, he looked around to realize that he was completely surrounded by mud.

He was still sinking – the Gravity Swamp was probably hundreds of meters deep; one couldn’t judge the depth of a swamp from its surface. Qingfeng Li also realized that the black mud around him was highly corrosive, eating away at his defensive light veil and ready to dissolve his body.

No wonder the other self-cultivators would vanish once they fell into the swamp – they were all eaten up by this black mud.

Horrific energy was hidden inside that mud – it was the energy of corpses. Qingfeng Li was extremely familiar with this sort of energy.

Qingfeng Li cultivated fire-type vital essence, which could be used against corpse energy. He quickly circulated his vital essence, creating a ball of flames with his right hand that exuded extremely high temperature.

The mud retreated from the flames at once, hiding away from the flames like a living creature.

Then, Qingfeng Li took out an illumination pearl the size of an egg from his interspatial ring. This pearl was glittering and translucent, defecting white light; it brightened up the entire swamp.

With the help of the illumination pearl, Qingfeng Li advanced forward.

Gusts of undead energy appeared here and there as he continued onwards, wanting to attack him. However, once these energies sensed the flames in Qingfeng Li’s hand, they quickly went into hiding.

Soon, he arrived at the bottom of the swamp, hundreds of meters below the surface.

Once he reached the bottom, Qingfeng Li noticed that the mud became darker, and the corpse energy was stronger.

He used his clairvoyance again to exude golden light. Beyond all the mud and corpse energy, he also saw a body, buried deep inside the mud.

It was a very big corpse, almost two meters tall.

Green hair grew out of the corpse, like strands of zombie hair. It was terrifying.

Swooooosh...

The mud at the bottom of the Gravity Swamp spread out as the green hair began to extend longer and longer... One meter... two meters... three meters... ten meters. Then, it charged at Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed as he quickly circulated fire-type vital essence to create a giant ball of flames around his vicinity.

The flames burned the green hair, but it also left Qingfeng Li shocked to his core – it didn’t work! The hair had some kind of horrific energy that was much stronger than Qingfeng Li’s flames.

The Dark Night Emperor’s voice echoed inside Qingfeng Li’s head, “Hey, little guy, that green hair and the corpse over there have more than 5,000 years of history. You can’t defeat them with your fire-elemental vital essence flames. You have no choice but to use the golden flame.

Qingfeng Li listened in shock at Dark Night Emperor’s words, how could that corpse have 5,000 years of history??

5,000 years ago, this region was under the governance of the Sun Monarch. That meant this undead thing was probably one of the Sun Monarch’s soldiers, who held a significant post. Or else it wouldn’t be buried so close to the main grave.

Qingfeng Li took a deep breath in and quickly activated the Golden Flames, which circulated through his abdomen, muscles, and skin, finally seeping out of his right index and middle finger.

The Golden Flames bounced on the tip of his fingers, dancing like a golden fairy.

Qingfeng Li suddenly whipped out his right index and middle fingers; the Golden Flames transformed into a high-speed cyclone, crashing towards all that green hair.

With 5,000 years of history, that green hair gathered the power of the heavens; yet, it was nothing in front of the saint-level Golden Flames. The flame burned right through the hair, sending crackling sounds everywhere.

At the same time, the corpse deep within the swamp moaned in pain as his hair fell off.

The corpse stood up, bearing long thin nails, each more than 50 centimeters long. He whipped his hand forward, cutting off all his hair in a split second.

The corpse looked at Qingfeng Li with a murderous but ravenous expression, as if he had just seen a roast chicken.

“Da-damn you h-human, how dare you trespass on the grave of the Sun Monarch. I’m going to eat you up,” the corpse stuttered.

Qingfeng Li looked at the corpse in surprise. “Good for you, you’ve been dead for 5,000 years but still have power from the heavens. What was your relationship with the Sun Monarch 5,000 years ago?”

“Human, I don’t mind telling you this. 5,000 years ago, I was the Sun Monarch’s second general-in-command. Now I am the Undead Monarch, guardian of the seventh barrier. And you will die today.” The Undead Monarch suddenly reached out with his right index finger, shooting out a ray of green light.

That ray of green light was extremely fast; it split through the void and was aimed right at Qingfeng Li, along with strong erosion energy.

To be safe, Qingfeng Li used his Golden Flames again, smashing right into the ray of green light. The green light vanished in the blink of an eye.

The Undead Monarch’s face lit up with surprise. “Impressive, you have the flame of the ancient Golden Saint in your hands. But, you’re only at the seventh level of the Monarch realm, so there’s a limit to the number of times you can use the Golden Flames. So the question is, how many more times can you use it?”

Obviously, the Undead Monarch recognized the Golden Flames, and was aware of the number of times Qingfeng Li could employ it. The corpse was not afraid at all.

The Undead Monarch waved his palms back and forth to create ten rays of green light from his green fingernails. The lights all charged at Qingfeng Li with corpse energy.

Qingfeng Li knew that he couldn’t use the Golden Flames too many times, so he didn’t.

He whipped out the Sky-Breaking Halberd and waved it – 450 million kilograms of weight crashed down at the green lights, scattering it into different directions.
