Chapter 2071 - 2072: Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse

"Be careful! Only one last stretch remains, and we’ll be able to escape the chessboard!"

Yeu Junyao’s beautiful eyes flickered. Along this journey, dangers had piled high; almost everyone had reached their limit.

Thankfully, as long as they crossed this last White Chess area, they’d be free from the terrifying "Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess."

"Let’s go!"

Ling Feng carried Yeu Junyao on his back, his expression grave, and once again took big steps forward, following Yeu Junyao’s directions into the mist ahead.

In the White Chess area, only sporadic Demon Corpses were scattered around. Everyone unleashed their divine skills to exterminate all the Demon Corpses blocking their path.

Especially the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master, whose power was strong; almost every strike could annihilate several Demon Corpses.

At this moment, they’re about ten squares away from the chessboard’s exit. Once they escape, everyone would be safe.

However, after taking about five steps forward, the White Chess transformed into Black Chess, revealing an entire area of Black Chess ahead.

This also signified the domain of the Demon Corpses!

"As expected, escaping the chessboard is not that easy!"

Everyone’s heart tightened, but having fought to this point, they were resolved to fight to the death.

"Roar!"

The Demon Clan geniuses transformed into their true Demon Beast forms, and the Human Clan Sword Emperors unleashed their Sword Intent, Sword Force, and even Sword Domain to the extreme.

"Charge through!"

Determined expressions flashed in everyone’s eyes. As long as they broke through this last barrier, they could escape alive.

Suddenly, the Demon Corpses that had charged ahead retreated like tides!

Terror-stricken shrieks emanated from many Demon Corpses!

It seemed that something they greatly feared had emerged in the depths of the mist ahead.

At the same time, a chilling aura overwhelming everyone arose!

Ling Feng’s brow furrowed deeply; a ferocious and violent aura appeared from their side!

So fast that they lacked even time to react!

The stirred Vigorous Wind and Qi Force felt like a monstrous tide mixed with nauseating blood stench!

No need for Ling Feng to remind them; everyone knew where the presence came from - or rather, who it was!

Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse!

The most terrifying existence within the Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess!

Even though the power of this Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse had been weakened to the extreme, less than one ten-thousandth of its full strength, it still possessed the Ancestor Realm’s physical strength!

"Get out of my way!"

The Golden Flood Dragon Young Master, gritting his teeth and fueled with rage, unleashed his Origin Bloodline Power, condensing it into a palm that transformed into an immense dragon claw, smashing into the mist ahead.

Boom!

After a muffled sound of impact, a deafening roar resounded.

"Roar!"

The Golden Flood Dragon Young Master’s strike not only failed to instill fear in the Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse but intensified its ferocity!

The violent sound waves shook the Nine Heavens; in this instant, everyone’s seven apertures bled, feeling dizzy and faint.

Yeu Junyao and Zhuge Wan’er had barely any Elemental Power to protect them, spitting blood and nearly fainting in a swoon.

The next moment!

Sssh—

A gigantic claw descended from the sky, enveloping everyone within.

The earth-shaking palm force left everyone shuddering, with their hearts pounding in fright.

Though the Demon Corpse had lost all sorts of divine skills from its lifetime, it could still nearly destroy heaven and earth with the brute force from its body.

The Golden Flood Dragon Young Master took the brunt of the palm force, launching him into the air. In the face of life and death, he seemed to use some life-saving trump card, transforming into a ball of Blood Light, teleporting dozens of meters away, barely escaping the catastrophe.

However, the few Human and Demon Clan geniuses beside him lacked such depth, their bodies shattering in the void, transforming into scattered blood mist, drifting away.

The intense stench of blood swept through the entire space, with the shadow of death instantaneously descending.

"No, if the Demon Corpse absorbs the power of flesh and blood, it’ll become even stronger!"

Ling Feng’s brow furrowed deeply. At this critical moment, sacrifices must be made!

"Reincarnation Technique!"

Instantly, the void trembled, with Ling Feng directly unleashing the Reincarnation Seal, summoning twelve Peak Emperor Realm Corpse Puppets.

Faced with the Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse, none present could withstand its power. The only solution was to use these Corpse Puppets to hold it off momentarily.

Though these Corpse Puppets would likely all perish under the claws of the Demon Corpse, sometimes sacrifices are unavoidable.

Rather than let living people die, the lives and deaths of these Corpse Puppets, who had died thousands of years ago, had little significance.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In an instant, twelve Emperor Realm Corpse Puppets charged forth. Though their strength paled compared to the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master, they feared neither death nor pain.

As long as they’re not completely destroyed, they would endlessly attack the Ancestor Realm Corpse Puppet.

"Now, charge through!"

Ling Feng, carrying Yeu Junyao, shouted to everyone behind him, seizing the moment while the Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse focused on the twelve Corpse Puppets to make a full-speed sprint.

Bam!

One punch, one Corpse Puppet perished.

Another punch, a second Corpse Puppet fell.

The robust Peak Emperor Realm Corpse Puppets couldn’t withstand even a single strike from the Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse’s fists.

Ling Feng knew the puppets would grant them no more than ten breaths!

Charge!

Going all out, a reckless sprint!

Everyone’s eyes turned blood-red, sprinting crazily, afraid to fall behind.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

...

Each breath seemed like an eternity, with the enveloping feeling of death almost suffocating everyone.

Roar!—

Accompanied by an unimaginably terrifying roar, in the blink of an eye, ten breaths had passed!

And at this moment, the Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse, behind them, had slaughtered all twelve Corpse Puppets unleashed by Ling Feng.

The power of flesh and blood melded into its shriveled, decaying body, making its aura even more terrifying and strong!

The Ghost Fire of Dead Souls swirling within its eyes grew ever more bright and eerie.

The next moment, it raised its Devil Claw and reached forward, clawing down forcefully.

Vigorous Wind swept across, making it seem as though the entire space would collapse under its claw.

"One last square, charge!"

Yeu Junyao pointed ahead, shouting: "Charge through, and we’ll be safe!"

Everyone, spirit lifted, with eyes ablaze, sprinting forward madly.

Escape!

Escape!

At this moment, only this thought remained in everyone’s mind!

Buzz!

An instant, seeming like thousands of years!

Finally, as if passing through a barrier, the mist ahead slowly cleared away.

Bam-bam-bam!

The terrifying roars from the background rang hauntingly close.

But ultimately, the terrifying Ancestor Realm Demon Corpse could not escape the mist’s confines and could not break free from within the chessboard.

This also meant they had finally survived and escaped the chessboard!
