"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"As long as you can help Emperor Xuanding recover the Life and Death Seal, and let the Emperor own all the Authority of Life and Death, it's possible that he might assist you against Emperor Taijia."

Possible? Heh!

The words of the Undying Evil Ancestor made Xiao Mu couldn't help but let out a sneer.

It can be said that the promise of the Undying Evil Ancestor amounted to nothing, at least he couldn't see any benefit for the Human world in cooperating with Emperor Xuanding.

Divine Monarch Wu De suddenly said with disdain, "I've long heard that among the four Emperors, Xuanding is the most cowardly, lacking courage, and it turns out to be true."

"Xiao kid, don't believe him, Xuanding doesn't have the courage to betray the Heavenly Court. Even if he has all the Authority of Life and Death, he wouldn't dare to oppose the Heavenly Court."

"The senior speaks the truth."

Xiao Mu telepathically responded to Divine Monarch Wu De.

Turning towards the Undying Evil Ancestor, he asked again, "You said the Undying Divine Sovereign is preparing to be reborn in the Human world, as a person of the Life and Death Sect, do you know the plan for the Undying Divine Sovereign's rebirth in the Human world? Where does he plan to be reborn? And by what means?"

Clearly unaware of the answers to Xiao Mu's questions, the Undying Evil Ancestor shook his head and said, "You think too highly of me. I'm just on the periphery of the Life and Death Sect and don't have the qualifications to participate in core decisions. The questions you ask, among all the powerful beings from the Life and Death Sect currently in the Human world, perhaps only the Funeral God might know."

The Funeral God?

Xiao Mu silently pondered for a moment but couldn't figure out how to deal with the Undying Divine Sovereign's plan to be reborn in the Human world. Perhaps capturing or killing the Funeral God was the only way.

He decided that once he returned to the Great Tang Ruins, he would report the situation of the Undying Divine Sovereign attempting to be reborn through feigned death in the Human world to the Alliance, to get them prepared in advance.

"What are you up to now? Emperor Xuanding had you capture more than a hundred Mutated Beings and ordinary people, what for?"

Xiao Mu's gaze fell on the over a hundred coffins before him.

Strange noises coming from the coffins grew louder and louder, as if the things inside the coffins were becoming restless, eagerly wanting to break out.

The Undying Evil Ancestor's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Without any intent for cooperation, there is no need to keep you!"

Xiao Mu got angry, activated his Five-in-One Escape and stepped forward, arriving beside the Undying Evil Ancestor in the blink of an eye, and swung his Eight-Sided Hammer directly at the head of the Undying Evil Ancestor.

"Xiao Mu, hold on!"

The Undying Evil Ancestor raised his right hand to try to stop Xiao Mu's attack.

Xiao Mu showed no intention of stopping, the Eight-Sided Hammer continued its descent, and with a loud crash, the head of the Undying Evil Ancestor burst open like a watermelon.

Huh? No Energy Points?

Killing the Undying Evil Ancestor, but didn't yield Energy Points as expected.

This outcome startled Xiao Mu, but he quickly realized the reason.

Perhaps it was because the Undying Evil Ancestor wasn't in his true form, having only seized the body of Judge Zhou for rebirth.

Besides, he claimed to be the Undying Evil Ancestor, but only possessed the strength of the Early Divine Spirit Realm (at the time of the seizure, he only had the Peak of the Yin God Realm), this strength was too low, and didn't match his own claims at all.

Could it be that the actual strength of the Undying Evil Ancestor was much more formidable than what was shown, and that the strength displayed in the Human world was merely that of Judge Zhou?

Within just a few seconds, numerous questions flashed through Xiao Mu's mind.

Creak! Crack!

The sound of wood shifting suddenly came from the coffins, starting with one coffin, followed by several, then a dozen, until finally over a hundred coffins began to make noise at the same time.

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at the coffins.

At that moment, the lids of the over a hundred coffins started to shift, about to be pushed open from the inside—as if the creatures within were about to take the opportunity to come out.

Wuu wuu!

Blood-red ethereal tentacles shook, as if a myriad of bizarre arms were waving and flailing in the air.

Sizzling!

Wuu wuu!

The blood-red ethereal tentacles stabbed into the coffins amid the strange crying sounds. One could clearly see that through the tentacles, red blood was being injected into the coffins.

Ao!

From the coffins, violent roars echoed, and the creatures inside seemed to be in immense pain.

Damn!

Xiao Mu watched helplessly as over a hundred coffins underwent a drastic transformation, unsure of how to intervene.

He didn't even know what he should do.

The drastic changes within the coffins were undoubtedly related to Emperor Xuanding.

Logically, Xiao Mu should've acted to stop it, but facing such a transformation and those blood-colored tentacles that reached out from the void, he was powerless to resist.

Not long ago, he had blundered into the place where the coffins were kept, and was attacked by blood-red tentacles; he had barely escaped with his life.

Now, naturally, Xiao Mu would not repeat the mistake and step into the area where the coffins were kept.

Reaching his right hand into the Earth Seal Space, Xiao Mu subconsciously gripped the All-Worlds Communication Talisman given to him by Emperor Miaoyi, yet he was torn about whether to ask for her help.

"Xuanding is attempting rebirth in the human world, using bodies to resurrect," the telepathic voice of Divine Monarch Wu De suddenly came through.

"Senior, is this using a body to resurrect?" Xiao Mu asked in surprise, immediately seeking an answer.

Divine Monarch Wu De's tone was grave, "Yes, but it's different from the Life and Death Sect's resurrection method. Xuanding controls the Life and Death Clock, possessing the vast majority of the Authority of Life and Death. His method of rebirth is even smarter than the Undying, not even needing his own flesh and blood to possess a body."

"Young Xiao, be careful. You may end up being used for his resurrection with your Undying Divine Body," cautioned Divine Monarch Wu De.

To be used for resurrection? Emperor Xuanding's methods were truly terrifying!

The words from Divine Monarch Wu De instilled a chilling realization in Xiao Mu, and he couldn't help but feel an involuntary shudder.

Divine Monarch Wu De seemed to guess what Xiao Mu was thinking, "But do not fear; Xuanding's resurrection through possession is not as easy as one might imagine. Moreover, even if the possession is successful, the strength that can be wielded only corresponds to that of the body's original owner, not stronger than the corpse itself."

"To enhance strength, cultivation is required just the same."

So that's how it is. No wonder the Undying Evil Ancestor chose to resurrect through Judge Zhou's corpse. It seems to be another one of Emperor Xuanding's techniques.

Xiao Mu nodded, suddenly enlightening to many issues.

"Even if he wants to resurrect, there's no need for so many bodies. What exactly does Xuanding intend to do?" Divine Monarch Wu De felt puzzled, speculating on Xuanding's reason for using the bodies to resurrect.

At that moment, the lid of one coffin was pushed open with a crackling sound.

A male corpse slowly sat up from inside the coffin.

Following him, a second and a third did the same, and over a hundred coffins opened one after another, containing male and female corpses, old and young, ordinary people, and Mutated Beings.

These corpses varied in age, condition, and Realm.

However, the corpses merely sat up and made no other movements before they suddenly fell back, crashing down into their coffins.

Over a hundred corpses, from the first one rising from a coffin to the last one falling back in, the entire process took less than half a minute.

Xiao Mu stood dumbfounded on the spot, completely at a loss as to what Emperor Xuanding was up to.

Divine Monarch Wu De, residing in the Black Jade Plate, muttered to himself, guessing aloud, "Although there are many bodies, there's no meaning for Xuanding to use them to resurrect!"

Pat! Crack! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

And in the moment the hundreds of corpses fell, the blood-red tentacles stretching out from the void suddenly retracted quickly, vanishing without a trace as if they had never appeared.

How could this be?

Xiao Mu stood still for a moment, then took a few steps forward bewilderedly, looking down into the nearest coffin to see what had transpired.

Inside the coffin was a male corpse, now devoid of any sign of life. If Xiao Mu could discern anything from the body, it was that it had recently died.

"Senior!"

Xiao Mu called out softly to Divine Monarch Wu De, seeking an explanation.

Divine Monarch Wu De contemplated and said, "From what I know of Xuanding, his resurrection might only be an experiment."

"These bodies are varied, including all types of people and all levels of strength. Perhaps Xuanding is just testing whether he can break through the seal of the Eastern Region and resurrect in any kind of body."

"In any case, that old fellow is very cautious; there must be a deeper significance to this, so be very careful. Hmm, it was right not to cooperate with him."
