"This supreme corpse king is already a calamity of epic proportions. If it continues to grow stronger, couldn't it eventually burst the earth?" Ye Chen grew increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.

The Nine Dragons Reverence, the Ten Dragons Taboo, such levels of corpse kings are difficult to suppress, only requiring the deployment of two Land Gods, and the ten supreme corpse kings would definitely meet their demise obediently.

However, the Land Gods are no ordinary beings. This corpse king has the combat power of a high-end immortal, only one step away from Transcendence the Other Shore, and that is already an invincible terror!

Yet, lurking in the world are the Great Venerables of the Other Shore. Even if a corpse king of the level of an immortal is fearsome, there are still hermits capable of subduing it.

But if this corpse king were to Transcend the Other Shore, it would truly become unbeatable in this world. By then, even if the Great Venerable of the Other Shore took action, it's uncertain whether it could be subdued.

Thinking of the corpse king's insane desire to conquer the human world, Ye Chen's heart began to chill.

If it really came to that, the only ones capable of subduing the corpse king would be those Saintly Great Powers seated high among the clouds.

Yet, the Saintly Great Powers are the most invincible of beings. They stand tall, supporting the entire human world. Is it already the beginning of chaotic times that such powers need to be utilized?

"Boom—"

As the ninth black fog appeared, the corpse king began its frenzied devouring again, its aura terrifyingly absolute, ready to erupt with earth-shattering power at any moment.

"I've suddenly thought of a possibility. This black fog might correspond to the ten supreme corpse kings!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

"There are ten corpse kings, and there are ten directions of black fog!" Yalina apparently had her speculations as well.

"It has already devoured nine clusters. Just one more and that corpse king will be able to Transcend the Other Shore!" Qian Yue Bing was shocked, as the truth was about to be fully revealed. If she still couldn't understand at this point, she would truly be a fool.

"The corpse king stands before us; we dare not cross. Are we just going to wait here to die?" Ye Chen said with some suppression.

By now, they had reached the deepest part of the cave, retreat was no longer possible.

If they stayed put, the corpse king might continue to ignore them. But if they suddenly retreated, the corpse king might pounce to kill them.

"We're at the very depths of the cave, the thing that drew us here can't be far off!" said Yalina. "I think it's time we took a risk. If we don't gamble now, we'll miss our chance completely!"

"Alright, you and I are thinking the same thing!" Ye Chen replied.

"There's no time to lose. We must act quickly, or once the corpse king achieves Transcendence, our demise will be immediate!" exclaimed Qian Yue Bing.

"Boom—"

Just as they were about to make their move, the corpse king finished absorbing the ninth black fog. It was growing stronger, and the speed at which it devoured the black fog was also increasing rapidly.

"Haha, with the nine directions of black fog, my power has reached its pinnacle. Now, I'm just one step away from ascending to the Other Shore!"

The corpse king strode mightily towards the deepest part of the cave.

The area was shrouded in a pale grey fog, seemingly at the very end of the cave!

"A familiar aura, the perfect sensation. This is my powerful source!"

The corpse king's enormous figure pushed forward, and upon seeing the pale grey fog, it continually slapped its own body. Chunks of rotten flesh fell off as if only such a crazy act could express the excitement in its heart.

The black fog that the corpse king had devoured beforehand belonged to the other nine corpse kings. Though the power contained within was strong, it was nothing compared to its own source!

When the ten supreme corpse kings emerged, the reason the strongest could outclass the other nine was precisely because its source was so formidable!

Unlike the black fog of the nine corpse kings, the strongest corpse king's source was the pale grey fog!

The evil power contained within the pale grey fog reached an unspeakably horrifying level, far surpassing that of the black fog!

Moreover, the evil power of the cyan-gray fog gave people a sense of transcendence...

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the mightiest corpse king born from the cyan-gray fog was the Ten Dragons Taboo, with strength far surpassing the other nine great corpse kings.

The most formidable corpse king now was invincible, already the highest-end among Land Gods, just a step away from marching into the Other Shore. This cyan-gray fog was his strongest aid in achieving Transcendence.

"Humans, do not act rashly, or I will not hesitate to kill you all!"

This corpse king did not rush to devour the cyan-gray fog; instead, he turned around and issued a mental warning to Ye Chen and the other two not to act recklessly.

"..."

Ye Chen and his companions were ready to erupt in action, just as they were preparing to surge forward, the corpse king had already anticipated this and even issued them a warning.

"Boom—"

The corpse king stepped into the midst of the cyan-gray fog and suddenly his vast mouth inhaled, and the boundless cyan-gray fog instantly turned into howling gales, pouring into his jaws.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Once the cyan-gray fog entered his body, the corpse king immediately underwent an unimaginable transformation, with dull thundering sounds continually emanating from his enormous body, as if some shackles were being shattered.

The aura around the corpse king grew stronger and stronger, making the entire cave world shake as if he was about to break through the sky and earth.

"This cyan-gray fog is the key for the corpse king to transcend to the Other Shore. He's now frantically devouring the fog, at a critical moment in his rise to the Other Shore. He simply cannot afford to be distracted, which makes this our best opportunity!"

"Exactly, I can feel it, the thing that draws us is right in front of the corpse king. If we can get past him, we'll obtain the fortune needed to become Land Gods!"

"Ladies, charge!"

Ye Chen shouted the battle cry, leading the two women to attack. With the beauties by his side, he felt the world was his. Even with the corpse king blocking the way, Ye Chen was unafraid.

However, reality can be cruel even when the imagination is beautiful.

As Ye Chen and the two women attempted to advance to the deepest part of the cave, they immediately alarmed the corpse king, who was devouring the fog.

"Boom—"

A massive footfall descended, pressing down above Ye Chen and the women, causing the sky to darken as if they were about to face total annihilation.

This corpse king, only half a step away from transcending to the Other Shore, already possessed a sliver of unparalleled divine might, capable of sweeping away anything that exists!

"Boom—"

An incomparable power erupted, and Ye Chen, Qian Yue Bing, and Yalina, with talismans fluttering in their hands, invoked the ghastly power of the talismans to resist this earth-shattering stomp.

The talismans Ye Chen had were gifts from his wives. Yalina, a high-ranking general of the divine realm, naturally had such treasures for protection. Qian Yue Bing was a legendary kunoichi from her homeland, significant in stature, and thus was also awarded a Life-saving Talisman!

The reason why Ye Chen and the others dared to snatch the treasure from the tiger's mouth, risking grave danger, was because they possessed talismans, granting them the credibility to fight!

"Despicable humans, always relying on these paper charms. True warriors should use their own strength to compete!"

Three talismans, representing the strongest strike of three Land Gods, even if this corpse king was powerful to the extreme, nearly achieving Transcendence, he still had not crossed that enormous divide, and so he was blasted back hundreds of meters.

"Ye Chen, I know you have many treasures. Can you hold off the corpse king for half an hour? I have an invincible move that needs a long time to cast. Can you buy me half an hour?" Yalina suddenly turned to Ye Chen and spoke with solemnity.
