Chapter 762: Obtaining the Female Corpse

What was even more terrifying was that after the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower trembled, the mountaintop outside, which resembled a Desolate Tower, trembled in the same way.

The Stone Coffin within the cliff, however, fell completely silent.

The woman’s eyes remained closed.

Now, no matter how Ye Tianling looked, he could no longer sense anything unusual.

Ye Tianling felt his soul nearly leave his body. He knew he had just walked back from the brink of death. If it weren’t for the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, he probably would have ended up just like the Divine Corpses outside—dead without even knowing it.

This was true power—power so immense it defied reason. A single glance was enough to kill invisibly.

’This female corpse... she seems to have grown thinner. Her hair is blood-red, yet it’s become withered. Her internal power has completely receded. What caused this? Could the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower have absorbed it without my knowledge?’

As Ye Tianling absorbed Origin Power from the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower to recover from his terrible condition, he analyzed the situation in his mind.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Tianling walked over, intending to take the female corpse with him.

Although the female corpse was sinister, after being inexplicably shaken by the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, she had completely returned to a normal state.

And though her bloodline was depleted and she was no longer beautiful—even looking somewhat like a Fierce Ghost—she was still powerful.

If he could borrow this Divine Shell for his Demon Heart Sword Body to use, even for just a few breaths, killing a Sword Ancestor would likely take but an instant.

Ye Tianling decided to take the risk.

He quickly arrived before the stone wall.

Ye Tianling activated the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower, unleashing a torrent of blood-red light that swept directly toward the stone wall.

Since the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower could suppress the Stone Coffin within the cliff, it should naturally be able to restrain it to some degree.

Ye Tianling made this judgment based on his series of experiences.

The blood-red light rolled toward the cliff face, passing through an invisible barrier of light as if it weren’t there, and sure enough, it instantly enveloped the Stone Coffin.

But at that very moment, a sinister, cold aura shot directly toward Ye Tianling.

With a thought, Ye Tianling immediately activated his Samadhi Celestial Fire, instantly engulfing himself in flames.

The flames all over his body formed a Flowing Battle Armor, making him look like a Flame War God.

At the same time, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword circling around Ye Tianling acted on its own, without his control. It transformed into a brilliant ray of light and lunged at the unknown cold aura.

SWISH—

A shadowy figure within the formless cold aura actually shot backward like a bolt of lightning.

But the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword’s speed was also astonishingly fast. As if passing through a series of obstacles and piercing an endless void, it instantly shot forward to kill.

THUMP—

Within the invisible void, a terrifying spatial collapse suddenly occurred, as if an unknown pocket of space had been blown apart.

However, even with his Eye of Celestial Secret and Soul Talent, Ye Tianling couldn’t see clearly what had just happened.

The scene was extremely bizarre, even sinister.

But based on his experience, Ye Tianling judged that the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword had already landed a blow, either severely wounding or killing the unknown, sinister thing.

Ye Tianling couldn’t see the specifics, but he knew that whatever the sinister, cold aura represented had likely suffered a great loss.

That bone-chilling cold aura did not appear again. Ye Tianling’s Qi Blood Power surged wildly, and with his bloodline ignited, he instead felt the power of Supreme Yang Flame flowing around him.

He felt much more comfortable.

After a slight hesitation, Ye Tianling reached out toward the Stone Coffin inside the cliff face.

"Please forgive my offense. I hope to borrow the Fairy’s Divine Body. I am Ye Tianling, and I have no intention of showing disrespect."

Ye Tianling spoke earnestly, each word delivered with the utmost sincerity and seriousness.

After speaking, he bowed deeply.

Only then did his hand touch the Stone Coffin within the cliff.

The cliff looked like a cliff, but when Ye Tianling’s hand passed through, there was no resistance at all. It was like a void-like barrier, possessing no ability to obstruct.

Ye Tianling placed his hand on the Stone Coffin. The female corpse’s face inside had become very serene. Faint, star-like specks of green light dotted her body.

This green was a bit strange, somewhat resembling the Nine Dragon Soul Poison.

But the Mechanical Heart determined that it was not. It was merely a powerful Energy that had dispersed but not yet dissipated.

Ye Tianling applied a bit of force with his hand, but the Stone Coffin didn’t move an inch.

Ye Tianling faced no opposition, nor did he encounter any more unknown attacks, but he still couldn’t move the Stone Coffin.

"Fairy, I am Ye Tianling. I have gathered the Eight Great Ancient Divine Bodies into one, and I am now in a predicament. I hope to borrow your immortal body. I have no intention of disrespect. If you are willing, you can leave behind a thread of karma. I, Ye Tianling, will surely repay it in the future."

Ye Tianling withdrew his hand and bowed deeply once more.

This peerless female corpse possessed an invincible Bloodline Power that was tyrannical and heaven-defying.

Ye Tianling didn’t know what Realm she was at, but a being like this was likely no weaker than the Divine Level.

Ye Tianling had seen many true Divine Corpses, all of which had turned to dust in this world, leaving behind only decayed flesh. None of them could exist in such a perfectly preserved state like the female corpse before him.

In other words, this female corpse had probably far surpassed the Divine Level.

Above the Divine Level was the Venerable Realm.

This was very likely the physical body of a peerless Venerable.

When facing such an expert, the necessary respect was a must.

Ye Tianling showed his sincerity and his willingness to bear the karma.

Sure enough, after he bowed this time, the Stone Coffin seemed to change slightly.

Wisps of star-like green light began to dance within the Stone Coffin like fireflies.

Soon, the fireflies flew to every corner of the Stone Coffin and gradually grew still.

And now, when Ye Tianling reached out and touched the Stone Coffin again, his body trembled slightly. The incomparably heavy Stone Coffin was suddenly as light as a feather, sticking directly to his hand.

"Thank you for your help, Fairy."

Ye Tianling said gratefully, then bowed deeply once again.

Ye Tianling slowly retracted his hand, pulling the Stone Coffin out with it.

HUMMM—

When the Stone Coffin emerged from the cliff, the entire world seemed to change color.

Ye Tianling couldn’t tell whether it was the Flowing Light from the Stone Coffin that made the world lose its color, or if the world itself had become turbulent and different because of the coffin’s appearance.

Ye Tianling gently placed it on the ground.

His Flame Battle Armor also gradually receded.

At the same time, the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword circling him flew quietly to his back and settled there as if sheathed.

Ye Tianling gazed quietly at the Stone Coffin. The woman inside was indeed somewhat gaunt, looking a bit ghastly and frightening.
