Chapter 4085: Floating Corpse
It wasn’t just the Nine Mountains Venerate, but also other Venerable Tier elites who were harvesting skulls to build rafts.
Being able to become a Venerate Tier elite, they indeed had amazing insight.
The Nine Mountains Venerate brought the bone raft to the coast, and said with a smile, “Come on.”
“Senior, take it easy.” Ling Han gritted his teeth. This looked a little unreliable.
“Haha, as long as I’m still breathing, I guarantee that not a single hair on your head would be hurt,” the Nine Mountains Venerate said with a smile. He grabbed Ling Han and threw a palm strike. A terrifying power surged, immediately pushing the bone raft into the depths of the
sea.
The bone raft rode the winds and waves, its speed astonishingly fast.
However, the sea wasn’t calm and without waves, especially when the bone raft was advancing at high speed, creating waves that crashed over. However, these waves were all neutralized by the Nine Mountains Venerate.
After walking for a while, the Nine Mountains Venerate stopped steering the ship. Because he was continuously dispersing the impact of the waves, he was also slightly strained. Though he still had a lot of energy left, who knew what other dangers lay here? It was naturally impossible that he would use up all his power.
After resting for a while, they saw another bone raft row over from behind them. There were a total of three people on this raft. One was a Venerate Tier elite, while the other two were young men.
“Nine Mountains, you are really outrageously bold. You actually dare to enter into the West Heavenly Realm!” that Venerate Tier said. There was no anger or joy on his face, and it was unknown what kind of attitude he had.
The Nine Mountains Venerate smiled faintly, and said, “What is it? Is the West Heavenly Realm the Underworld or Hell? Can’t I come?”
“When we get out, let’s fight,” the Venerate Tier elite said.
“All right.” The Nine Mountains Venerate was completely unafraid.
“Now, should we join forces?” the Venerate Tier elite suddenly said with a smile.
The Nine Mountains Venerate raised a brow, and said, “Deal.”
The two Venerate Tier elites both needed to rest. They were too strong, and could extract the energy of heaven and earth at any time. There was absolutely no need for them to wait until the sun rose.
“Brother Ling, let’s get to know each other. I am Ning Yanghao, and this is my clansman, Ning Bian.” A young man clasped his hands in Ling Han’s direction, his expression very modest.
Ling Han also clasped his hands in greeting, “Greetings, Brother Ning.”
However, Ning Bian was much more arrogant. He merely raised a brow, then said, “I’ve heard others speak of you in such a grand manner, but you’re only in the late stage of the Core Formation Tier. I really don’t know why those rumors are so exaggerated.”
It was clear that he had not seen the scene of Ling Han defeating Shi Yongming, Liu Kaiji and Liu Yiming on the beach. Otherwise, no matter how high his opinion of himself was, he would not dare to say such flippant words.
Ling Han merely smiled. There was nothing to be concerned about this kind of young brat.
Of course, he was also unwilling to destroy the alliance that had just been formed between two Venerate Tier elites. Otherwise, no matter what, he would have to teach this brat who had an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities a lesson.
“Brother Ling, please don’t be angered. This clan brother of mine rarely goes out, so he is a little rash.” Ning Yanghao played mediator.
“Brother Hao!” Ning Bian was still defiant.
“It’s fine. He’s just a child.” Ling Han waved his hand casually.
This infuriated Ning Bian, and also made Ning Yanghao grit his teeth. ‘You still say it’s all right? You didn’t show any mercy with your words either.’
“Yi?” Ling Han suddenly shuddered, and looked into the distance. Using his eye technique, he saw something floating.
Ning Yanghao and Ning Bian also looked over, but they didn’t have eye techniques, so they naturally couldn’t see anything.
Ning Bian humphed, “Stop pretending!”
Ning Yanghao was also slightly surprised. He believed that Ling Han was not that kind of person, but he had indeed not seen anything.
What was going on?
After a while, he also let out a surprised exclamation, and suddenly stood up.
“Brother Hao, what’s wrong?” Ning Bian asked. After being rebuked by Ling Han, and thought that he had been tricked, so at this moment, he was extremely displeased.
“See for yourself,” Ning Yanghao said darkly.
Ning Bian looked in the direction he was pointing, and couldn’t help but reveal a shocked expression.
That was… a corpse!
He couldn’t help but feel shocked. There was a terrifying power of Regulations in the seawater, and even Venerate Tier elites would be corroded. Otherwise, why would they have used bones to make rafts? But now, there was a corpse that was moving with the waves, its physical body uncorroded. How could this not be terrifying?
Xiu, the Nine Mountains Venerate and the Heavenly Venerable Tier both stood up, their expressions stern.
“To be able to keep his physical body from decaying, there must be endless Regulations interwoven within his body,” the Nine Mountains Venerate said.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate nodded, “Regulations intertwine with the physical body, this is-”
“Saint!” the two Venerate Tier elites exclaimed at the same time.
Hearing the word “Saint”, Ling Han and the other juniors all felt their hearts skip a beat. Throughout history, there would always be lapses in Ancestral Kings. For example, in the current era, Saints were the strongest in the world, and even Imperial Clans would treat them as esteemed guests.
But now, the corpse of a Saint had been thrown into the sea, so how could they not be
shocked?
“When an Emperor descends into the world, even Saints are like ants!” Nine Mountains Venerate exclaimed.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate was also in a complicated state of mind, filled with a feeling of loneliness and dejection.
Both of them had set becoming Saints as their lifelong goal. Thus, seeing a Saint’s corpse thrown into the sea naturally caused endless feelings to rise up in their hearts.
So what if he was as strong as a Saint? In front of a Great Emperor, he was nothing but trash.
Right at this moment, a terrifying aura assaulted him. It was like a supreme God Tool,
piercing the skin painfully.
Ning Yanghao and Ning Bian immediately couldn’t bear it, and blood oozed from their skin,
presenting a horrible sight.
“Not good, saintly might!”
The two Venerate Tier elites hurriedly steered the rafts to dodge, retreating into the distance. Only then did that terrifying aura disappear.
Ning Bian glanced at Ling Han, and could not help but feel dissatisfied, because both he and Ning Yanghao were covered with blood, and looked extremely disheveled. However, Ling Han was completely unscathed. Merely with this comparison, it was clear who was superior among
them.
And it should be known that the two of them were both at the consummate level of the Core Formation Tier, which was a minor level higher than Ling Han.
“Nine Mountains, your Nine Suns Holy Land has really picked up a treasure!” The Heavenly Martial Venerate looked at Ling Han with undisguised envy.
“Haha!” The Nine Mountains Venerate laughed loudly, his expression incredibly smug.
He might not be able to become a Saint in this lifetime, but Ling Han would definitely be able
to. In fact… there was still hope for him to become an Emperor.
Becoming an Emperor… Just the thought of it made him incredibly excited. That was the ultimate elite of the universe, capable of suppressing an era, leaving behind an eternal name that would be praised for eternity.
“Yi, why has the Saint’s corpse floated over again?” The Nine Mountains Venerate suddenly
frowned. They had steered the rafts away, and did not move with the waves. Instead, they headed in a sideways direction. Thus, if that Saint’s corpse was drifting with the waves, they should have been separated.
“Strange!” The Heavenly Martial Venerate nodded, his expression slightly serious.
“Let’s go!”
The Nine Mountains Venerate continued to steer the raft. After all, it was a Saint’s corpse. If it
really turned into a zombie or something, it would definitely be incredibly terrifying, so it
was best to stay as far away from it as possible.
The Heavenly Martial Venerate nodded, and hurriedly steered the bone raft as well, floating alongside the Nine Mountains Venerate.
Ling Han turned around, only to see that the Saint’s corpse was rapidly disappearing into the distance. It wasn’t long before it disappeared from his sight.
The five of them soon forgot about this matter. After travelling for another half a day, they
stopped to rest.
Ling Han was bored, and looked around. All of a sudden, his expression changed, and he blurted out, “Not good, that Saint’s corpse has floated over again!”
