596: Chapter 596

The Heavenly Emperor battle erupted, and the entire Ancient Tomb shook.

The death coffin hovered behind Qin Yun, the death runes on its body lighting up layer by layer.

The Pseudo-Immortal's son was unsteady on his feet, the rotten flesh on his chest still sloughing off.

After the Yin and Yang Qi was drained, his body had long since become a dilapidated house.

Previously, he could still hang on by relying on the death coffin and the Death Qi within the tomb.

Now, the death coffin had betrayed him.

He was also nearing his end.

"Do you really think you've won?"

The Pseudo-Immortal's son raised his hand and grabbed, violently pulling the remnant Yin and Yang Origin Power from the depths of the Ancient Tomb, pressing it down toward Qin Yun along with the remnant array.

Qin Yun did not retreat.

The ten dao lotuses shook in unison.

The gray Qi of his half-Innate Chaos Body surged in his palm, as his Taihuang Holy Venerable Sun Body and Heavenly Immortal Body unfolded together.

He took a step forward.

One punch.

Boom!

The Pseudo-Immortal's son's entire right arm exploded on the spot.

Black blood splattered everywhere.

Just as his opponent was about to retreat, Qin Yun had already caught up to him.

The death coffin shuddered.

The shadow of the coffin pressed down.

The Death Qi in the tomb was forcibly gathered into a line, pinning itself directly into the chest of the Pseudo-Immortal's son.

"Get the hell away from me!"

The Pseudo-Immortal's son roared, wanting to use the home-field advantage of the Ancient Tomb to turn the tide.

But as soon as he raised his head, he was met with a divine light of intertwined gray and white.

Taihuang Sun-Rending.

This strike was even more ruthless than before.

The white light cleaved through the Death Qi, the remnant array, and the crumbling body of the Pseudo-Immortal's son.

From his brow to his abdomen, a single line split him straight through.

His body split open.

His Divine Soul split along with it.

The madness in the Pseudo-Immortal's son's eyes finally vanished, replaced by panic.

"No, I can still..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

Qin Yun raised his hand and joined his fingers.

Sever Self.

Punish Heaven.

Return to One.

The three Sword Intents joined into a single line, sinking directly into the split Divine Soul.

This time, it was not just a heavy blow.

It was complete obliteration.

The Pseudo-Immortal's son's Divine Soul shuddered in mid-air, and without even being able to let out a scream, it was instantly shredded by the Sword Intent.

As for his Physical Body, it turned to ashes the moment the death coffin pressed down on it.

He was dead, completely and utterly.

Not even a trace of a counterattack remained.

At the very moment he was completely annihilated, a wisp of ancient and heavy gray-green Qi surged out from the pile of ashes.

It did not disperse.

Instead, it rushed straight toward Gu Zhan.

Qin Yun's eyes narrowed.

Grandmist Quasi-Immortal power.

He raised his hand and grabbed, forcibly tearing that wisp of gray-green Qi out from the ashes.

The power struggled violently in his palm, but in the next instant, drawn by Gu Zhan's aura, it sank directly into Gu Zhan's body.

Boom!

Gu Zhan's entire body shuddered.

Half of the Death Qi that had been keeping him alive instantly dispersed.

The long-dead Origin inside his body finally lit up again.

The Grandmist Fire Seed in his chest, which was on the verge of extinguishing, suddenly flared up.

His pressure surged.

His aura rose.

Although he was still far from returning to his Peak, the foundation belonging to a Pseudo-Immortal had ultimately returned.

Gu Zhan stood in place, wisps of Grandmist Qi surging out of him, forcing the remaining Death Qi in the tomb to recede.

On the other side, the Yin and Yang Qi left behind by the Pseudo-Immortal's son also went completely out of control.

The black and white Origins surged in mid-air like two giant pythons breaking free from their chains.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yun raised his hand and guided them toward Chen Yang.

"Catch."

Chen Yang's eyes lit up.

He didn't waste any words either, opening both his remnant soul and remnant body to forcibly swallow all of the Yin and Yang Qi.

His soul body, which had still been covered in cracks, rapidly solidified.

His broken bones grew back one by one.

His torn flesh mended inch by inch.

First his chest and abdomen.

Then his arms.

Finally, even his facial features completely stabilized.

Chen Yang went from a faint illusion to a solid form.

The Yin and Yang Origins inside his body closed their loop once more, and his broken Great Dao of the past was actually reconnected at this moment.

Boom!

His Imperial Might skyrocketed.

It surged all the way to the Peak of the Heavenly Emperor realm before stopping.

It was not a Pseudo-Immortal.

He was still one final layer short.

However, that aura was already terrifying enough.

Chen Yang stood up straight and exhaled a long breath.

"I finally feel like a living person again."

Qin Yun glanced at him.

"Don't relax just yet."

Just as he spoke, the entire Ancient Tomb suddenly sank.

With the death of the Pseudo-Immortal's son, the final layer of balance here was gone.

The death coffin was shaking.

The Yin and Yang Origin Eye was exploding.

The cracks in the depths collapsed layer by layer.

The tomb passages began to cave in.

The ceiling of the tomb was also falling.

Gu Zhan looked up and said in a low voice,

"Go."

The three of them rushed outward at the same time.

As soon as they moved, the Ancient Tomb collapsed even faster.

Just as they cleared a tomb passage, the entire section behind them collapsed.

The earth veins went into Chaos, the ancient arrays surged, and many Cultivators who hadn't had time to escape were instantly ground into blood mist.

Outside the Ancient Tomb, the Cultivators of various factions were already in complete Chaos.

"The tomb is collapsing!"

"Retreat!"

"Quick, retreat!"

"Something major has happened inside!"

Those who had been guarding the perimeter earlier now only wished they had been born with extra legs.

The earth shook.

The mountains shook as well.

It was not just around the Ancient Tomb.

The earth veins of the entire Yuanhuang Heavenly Continent shifted because of this collapse.

Within the ancient Forbidden Grounds, old monsters who had slept for countless years opened their eyes one after another.

Immortal Zanghe.

Immortal Fenyue.

Withered Wood Immortal.

Soul Parting Immortal.

Immortal Suixing, the father of the Pseudo-Immortal's son.

The first thing they did upon waking was look toward the Ancient Tomb.

Because the aura coming from there was too chaotic.

The Pseudo-Immortal's son's life flame had been extinguished.

The Grandmist Quasi-Immortal power had changed masters.

The Yin and Yang Qi had also been forcibly seized.

This was no accident.

This was someone completely overturning the scheme they had set up for countless years.

Killing intent instantly soared into the sky.

Several ancient Pseudo-Immortals stepped through the air, heading straight for the Ancient Tomb.

...

The exit of the Ancient Tomb exploded with a bang.

Qin Yun and the other two rushed out of the collapsing Ancient Tomb.

But as soon as their feet touched the ground, all three of them stopped.

The sky had already darkened.

It was not because of the night.

It was because the world in all directions had been locked down.

Immortal Zanghe stood on the east side, the phantom of a black river behind him.

Immortal Fenyue stood to the south, a volcano rising and falling beneath his feet.

Withered Wood Immortal was the quietest, but every wisp of Qi around him carried the aura of death.

Soul Parting Immortal and Immortal Suixing each occupied a corner.

Immortal Suixing stared fixedly at Qin Yun.

He was the father of the Pseudo-Immortal's son.

There was no room for nonsense in his eyes, only one thing.

Kill.

"The hatred of my son's murder, the grudge of my power being stolen."

"Today, not a single one of you will leave."

As his voice fell, the world grew even heavier.

Qin Yun felt a tightness in his chest.

Chen Yang had just reconstructed his Physical Body, and his Battle Intent was at its Peak, but his consumption was also not small.

Although Gu Zhan's Grandmist power had returned to its place, it had ultimately not yet been fully restored to Perfection.

Having just escaped a dead end, they had run straight into an even greater death trap.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yang stepped right in front of Qin Yun.

"Hide behind me."

In the next instant, the aura of his Acquired Chaos Body erupted without reservation.

Yin and Yang ran parallel.

Chaos surged.

The might of his Peak Heavenly Emperor realm forcibly pushed back the killing intent at the very front.

The eyes of the Pseudo-Immortals opposite them changed at the same time.

"A Chaos Body?"

"Could it be that that person is still alive?"

"Not only alive, but he has even reconstructed his body."

Chen Yang ignored these words completely.

He only took a step forward, and then another, standing absolutely firm.

"If you want to touch him, you'll have to step over me first."

He was tough.

Truly tough.

Standing alone, he stubbornly resisted the pressure of multiple Pseudo-Immortals. Even as the ground cracked beneath his feet, he did not retreat an inch.

But Qin Yun could see clearly.

He could withstand the pressure.

But he could not withstand an actual onslaught.

The father of the Pseudo-Immortal's son had already raised his hand.

Immortal Zanghe and Immortal Fenyue pressed forward together as well.

With just one more step forward, Chen Yang would have to take the first wave of lethal attacks head-on.

And at this very moment.

What rose first between heaven and earth was not a figure.

But a wisp of Grandmist Qi.

That wisp of Qi spread out from the distance, starting as a single strand and then joining together into a vast sheet, like a gray-green canopy pressing down from the far distance.

The moment it appeared, the Laws of the entire battlefield went into Chaos.

The faces of several Pseudo-Immortals changed simultaneously.

This was the very aura they were most familiar with, and also feared the most.

In the next instant, a figure landed in front of Chen Yang.

Stabilizing the situation with a single step.

Gu Zhan.

Standing at the very front, the Primordial Qi spread out behind him like a slowly unfolding ancient canopy.

Looking at his back, Chen Yang grinned.

"If you had been any later, I really would have had to risk my life."

Gu Zhan did not look back.

He merely raised his eyes to look at the Pseudo-Immortals in front of him.

Immortal Zanghe narrowed his eyes.

"Battle Immortal."

"To think you haven't fallen yet."

Gu Zhan's voice was not loud.

But it was incredibly firm.

"I've only just returned."

"And yet you dare to lay a hand on my people?"
