Huff! A terrifying aura descended upon the Southern Thirteen Star Domain, as if it had emerged from an ancient river, creating formidable fluctuations of the path.
Boom! The entire Southern Thirteen Star Domain trembled violently due to the sudden influx of so many terrifying presences, with endless fluctuations of the path surging forth. Several shadowy figures, exuding horrendous auras, directly materialized, causing the entire Southern Thirteen Star Domain to shake violently.
"What a terrifying force! What powerful beings have descended?"
Tuoba Xiongba and the other powerful beings of the Southern Thirteen Star Domain turned in horror. In that instant, they saw pairs of eyes as deep as the abyss standing at the horizon of this endless cosmic sea.
When their gazes met those eyes, there was a thunderous boom, and their minds went blank, like a volcano erupting, halting all thought in an instant.
Terrifying!
Under the gaze of those eyes, the essence within Tuoba Xiongba and his companions solidified, their breaths ceased, as if they were momentarily trapped in a state of brain death.
"Hmm, a few insignificant transcendents, this really is a remote place."
A cold voice echoed in the cosmic starry sky; it was the voice of the Lord of the Corpse Nation. His violet-golden eyes were filled with an endless aura of death, and with a glance, he saw through the entire Southern Thirteen Star Domain. He said lightly, "This place is too barren. No wonder it has remained unoccupied for so many epochs. Such a place doesn't even qualify to be transformed into my Corpse Nation; it can only serve as nourishment for my ancient corpses."
The Lord of the Corpse Nation stepped into the Southern Thirteen Star Domain, and with a booming sound, the void of the Southern Thirteen Star Domain ignited violently.
Countless ancient corpses from his army entered this realm, and the horrifying aura of death filled the air. The void in the bordering areas began to rot, the death aura rising like a graveyard of corpses.
"Hmph, Corpse Master, you old nuisance, stay away and don't defile my body."
Boom! At this moment, a booming voice resonated through the endless void. A towering man emerged, bald-headed, with an eerie golden aura radiating from his body. This ancient yellow aura, like the unchanging cosmic path, chanted various resounding sounds, abruptly stopping the spreading death aura.
It also prevented the Southern Thirteen Star Domain from being consumed by flames.
In the void, countless sacred sounds flowed, and some bronze ancient corpses at the edges opened their eyes upon contact with this ancient yellow aura, revealing expressions of agony. They were surrounded by black death aura, their faces grotesque, resembling malevolent spirits.
"Mm? Shi Nantian? Do you really think this Lord of the Corpse Nation is afraid of you? Do you believe I won't invade your Southern Dipper Buddha Nation and turn it into my Corpse Nation's temple?"
Seeing the actions of the bald man, the Lord of the Corpse Nation snorted in anger. The death aura rolled forth, directly suppressing the bald man's presence, protecting the numerous bronze ancient corpses under his command. Yet, a few bronze ancient corpses unexpectedly released golden light, sitting cross-legged and rapidly igniting, turning into ashes that scattered away.
They were being transcended.
Bronze ancient corpses were corpse puppets of the first layer of transcendence realm. Under the bald man's sacred aura, they were utterly powerless to resist. Had it not been for the Lord of the Corpse Nation's intervention, countless ancient corpses would have been directly transcended.
"Hahaha, would I, Shi Nantian, fear you?" The bald man laughed heartily, grasping a meditation staff that radiated divine light. In the area surrounding him in the Southern Thirteen Star Domain, countless beings sat cross-legged and began to chant.
Even some newborns, unable to stand or sit, managed to sit cross-legged and babble in chants, showing unparalleled devotion as they became his fervent followers, their life force gradually dissipating.
