Chapter 844: Chapter 540: Chaotic Upheaval (Part 3) Feeling the remnants of the chilling power on the bones, and recalling the calm figure of Chu Zheng departing earlier, the few felt a shiver run from their feet to the top of their heads. Their expressions grew more astonished, and they dared not delay any longer, transforming into streams of light to quickly leave. Chu Zheng crossed along the way, gradually noticing some unusual signs. The aura of living creatures seemed to be becoming denser. In the vast Heaven Burial Palace, it was previously difficult to encounter a living being for days or even months, but now, within a single day, he unexpectedly encountered several waves. Transforming into the blazing sun-like Three-legged Golden Crow, with pristine or black wings growing from his back, possessing incredible speed, and with divine archery skills, members of the Heavenly Feather Clan, and the Shadow Clan’s top assassins, with blurred bodies like shadows, and shining silver hair… He encountered numerous powerful beings from various races. Most of these living creatures, upon sensing Chu Zheng’s unfathomable aura and his trail of blood debts, turned pale and consciously retreated, making wide detours to avoid him.

Among them, the cultivators from the Three Prisons Sect were the most numerous. This sect’s composition was extremely complex, not only including humans and the Demon Race but also some rare hybrids. Their actions were both righteous and evil, with their methods being strange and rare. Most of their disciples carried three symbolic life-bound Supreme Treasures: the Human Prison Book, Hell Umbrella, and Heavenly Prison Map. These three Supreme Treasures were incredibly mystical, vaguely corresponding to the three treasures of Vitality, Qi, and Spirit within living beings. They could taint blood, entrap Qi, and harm the soul. Their methods and divine skills were unpredictable and troublesome, causing Chu Zheng some minor troubles, requiring him to exert a little effort. However, given Chu Zheng’s current combat strength, which could be considered at the pinnacle of the Heaven Burial Palace, these cultivators ultimately couldn’t pose any real threat to him. They all eventually turned into clumps of original blood essence nurtured within his Dantian to nourish his physical body. As he continued forward, the frequency of encountering living creatures increased, and he even spotted some Immortal Path Cultivators sneaking around, their auras concealed to the extreme, who fled frantically at the sight of Chu Zheng as if seeing a ghost. Finally, he halted amidst a stunning, expansive Star Sea composed of countless shattered stars and stellar dust. His gaze penetrated layers of light and shadows, landing at the center of a fierce battlefield. There, a figure in green was trapped in an encirclement, struggling bitterly, with bloodstains all over and chaotic aura. The dozens of cultivators surrounding him were all dressed in uniform cloud-patterned attire, clearly members of the Yun Family. Chu Zheng took one glance and understood that the Yun Family was clearly unwilling to give up, having cornered the isolated Yun Tianji here, intending to thoroughly clean house. At that moment, not far away, a patch of Void rippled like water, and another Teleportation Gate suddenly appeared. Amidst flashing lights, over ten powerful figures stepped out, their auras undisguised. Among them were several top-level True Immortals of the Nine Tribulations Level, also dressed in Yun Family attire, clearly members of the Yun Family. Seeing this, Yun Tianji’s expression instantly froze, turning extremely ugly, his heart sinking to the bottom. His defensive Immortal Techniques involuntarily showed a slight flaw due to distraction. In that fleeting moment, a Yun Family Eight Tribulations True Immortal who had been lurking on the periphery, searching for an opportunity, flashed a ferocious look in his eyes, seized the short-lived chance, and unsheathed a Dark Blue Immortal Sword. In an instant, it tore through the Void, fiercely slashing at Yun Tianji’s waist! A grim wound, deep enough to reach the bone, suddenly appeared, almost severing Yun Tianji in half. He let out a muffled grunt, stumbled back, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper. Just as the Eight Tribulations True Immortal wielding the sword showed a sinister smile, intending to pursue and completely end Yun Tianji’s life, above his head suddenly brightened. A dire warning flashed wildly in his mind, his breath caught, and he abruptly looked up. A net sprawling like the sky and earth descended upon the battlefield, causing him a moment of heart-stopping suffocation. On the net, numerous dark golden ancient Talismatic Patterns flickered on and off, emitting a terrifying aura of Law Breaking and Immortal. Numerous Immortal Techniques in the air were dissolved in an instant. Without any hesitation, Chu Zheng suddenly acted, encompassing all the True Immortals on the battlefield within the Forbidden Immortal Net. Then he reached into the Void, pulling Yun Tianji out from the battlefield, shielding him behind himself. Yun Tianji absolutely could not die here. The Good Corpse was still with him, at least currently in a relatively controllable state. If it fell into the hands of other clueless beings, who knows what unpredictable, strange changes might be triggered. Moreover, fragments of memory in his mind reminded him that in the true history of the River of Space-Time, Yun Tianji had achieved Chengzuhood, and naturally couldn’t die in this Heaven Burial Palace. Yun Tianji only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and a familiar figure had already appeared in front of him, leaving him with mixed feelings: He never expected that at a moment of despair, it would be Chu Zheng who extended a helping hand. Had it not been for Chu Zheng today, even with the Heavenly Destiny True Spirit on him, he probably wouldn’t have escaped this tribulation. In a moment of daze, several more Teleportation Gates had appeared around, with numerous living beings pouring out, most of whom were Immortal Path Cultivators, including members of the Xu Family and Feng Family. Within a mere few breaths, the number of True Immortals gathered at the scene had exceeded four hundred, with seven or eight dozen of them having reached the Nine Tribulations Level! At this scene, Yun Tianji couldn’t help but let out a cold breath. The conflict between the Immortal Court and Chu Zheng left no room for reconciliation. No matter how strong Chu Zheng was, facing so many True Immortals, there was surely no escape. Xu Wuchen stepped out from the ranks of the Xu Family True Immortals, beckoning to Yun Tianji while staring intently at Chu Zheng, his expression grave. Yun Tianji took a deep breath, stepped forward, blocking Chu Zheng, and transmitted: “Daoist Zheng Chu, you go first. With people from the Xu Family and Feng Family present, the Yun Family won’t dare to attack me again.” Before he finished speaking, a sharp shout suddenly erupted from among the Yun Family True Immortals: “Everyone, follow me to punish the traitor, slay Zheng Chu, attack!” Yun Tianji’s face changed, instinctively looking towards Xu Wuchen. Under Yun Tianji’s gaze, Xu Wuchen squinted his eyes slightly, his expression gradually turning cold, and without caring about Yun Tianji’s fate, he raised his hand to command: “First slay Zheng Chu, attack!”
