Almost at the same time, his fist struck with an equally bizarre angle, heavily slamming into Xiao Dieqiu’s chest. In an instant, it was as if a heavenly drum had been struck. Xiao Dieqiu’s chest visibly caved in, and the corresponding spot on her back exploded with a bloody hole. Countless fine cracks instantly spread across her upper body, like a spider web. It was clear that even this mighty Martial Saint physique was about to reach its limits under such intense confrontation. An eye for an eye, blood for blood. The terrifying battle raged for several days and nights. This sea of blood and starry sky was repeatedly destroyed and reformed, with Chaotic Qi filling the air, as if returning to the chaotic dawn of the universe. During this time, the Evil Corpse was struck countless times by Chu Zheng’s fierce Fist Seals. The cracks on its body increased, like a porcelain about to shatter. Yet, its movements showed no sign of slowing and instead grew even more frantic. Chu Zheng also suffered terrible injuries, with his chest almost completely split open by a chop, and his internal organs nearly ripped out. He barely managed to repair some of his wounds by relying on his boundless vitality and Qi Absorption Method, forcibly seizing all surrounding energy. Ultimately, in a pure clash of power, the entire field of blood light and Chaotic Divine Light exploded completely. The destructive energy spiraled out of control, consuming and annihilating several surrounding star domains. The sea of blood evaporated, the stars turned to ash, and everything was reduced to the most primitive energy fluctuations, eventually settling into a deathly silence. At the core of the chaos and destruction, two figures continued their fight. Chu Zheng was drenched in blood, some his own, but mostly his enemy’s. By using the Method of Qi Absorption, exploiting its heaven-defying ability to plunder everything and replenish himself, he managed to endure the extreme consumption and fierce battle. Finally, he seized on a barely perceptible pause when the Evil Corpse’s body was on the brink of collapse. A fierce gleam exploded in his eyes, and he struck decisively. He ignored the opponent’s claw aimed at his heart, gathered all his strength in his right fist. The Chaos Dao Pattern shone brighter than ever, seemingly holding a pitch-black sun, and smashed it fiercely into the cracked chest of Xiao Dieqiu. Xiao Dieqiu’s Martial Saint body could no longer withstand this destructive force and shattered completely like glass, bursting open with countless pieces saturated in immense blood energy flying off. At the moment of its shattering, a distorted, dark shadow bolted out from the exploding flesh as if startled, trying to escape into the void. It was the Evil Corpse. Chu Zheng was faster, as if he had foreseen this, his fingers turned to a knife, already waiting to deliver a decisive chop at the escaping shadow. The dark shadow let out a sharp cry as a small part of it was forcibly severed by the hand chop. Then, using the force of this impact, the Evil Corpse increased its speed, breaking through layers of chaotic space-time, transforming into a black light, and in a blink, it vanished entirely into the depths of the boundless starry sky, leaving no trace. It acted decisively, choosing to abandon the body and save the core at the last moment, departing as mysteriously as the Heavenly Destiny True Spirits of later times. The Evil Corpse had voluntarily fled; everything was finally settled. The furious energy ripples gradually calmed, leaving devastation in their wake. Even the stars had vanished, making that cataclysmic battle seem like nothing more than a brief and bloody nightmare. Yun Tianji cautiously approached from afar, looking at this area turned utterly void, and the lone figure standing amidst the blood, his expression filled with disbelief at the scene before him. A hundred thousand prodigies, countless elites from the Ancient Clans, even the Half-step Emperor… all buried here, turned to dust in history. Chu Zheng slowly exhaled turbid Qi laced with a bloody taste, looking at the empty, cold starry sky without attempting to pursue. On one hand, the Evil Corpse’s method of escape was bizarre and unpredictable, impossible to track. On the other hand, now within the Heaven Burial Palace, beside him and Yun Tianji, there were no other living creatures. The Evil Corpse had lost its rapidly recoverable and disruptive shell, and indeed, he could not completely kill it now, as it goes against the future. Now, he just needed to wait quietly here until the Heaven Burial Palace reopened, leave this place, and then follow the plan, go into hiding for a time, digest his gains, and wait for the next suitable opportunity to come. A few days later, fueled by plundered massive vitality and Heavenly Fate, both of their wounds had recovered significantly. Yun Tianji didn’t mention the unusually active Heavenly Destiny True Spirit inside him that was even trying to influence his mind, and Chu Zheng acted as if he was oblivious, never bringing it up. The two of them silently maintained this tacit agreement, beginning to wander through the vast destruction, cleaning up the battlefield. Undoubtedly, this would be an earth-shattering and unprecedentedly terrifying harvest. Those who perished here were practically the most elite prodigies of this generation from all the Ancient Clans. The resources, Elixirs, Divine Materials, and Secret Technique Manuals accumulated in their Storage Magic Treasures were astoundingly rich. However, Chu Zheng could already foresee that with this battle, the new forces of the Ten Great Ancient Clans would experience a massive gap, enough to affect the cosmic order for tens of thousands of years to come.
