World of Longevity

Xiao Chen was enveloped in a dazzling light as if he was wearing a sacred armor. He remained unharmed! The Qi Refining Diagram on the Ancient Stone Tablet was indeed mysterious, preserving his body via Mysterious Cultivation, sparing him from petrification.

In such a situation he could not linger on the battlefield. His body, covered with a faint glow, shot into the sky like a bird soaring across the sky, aiming for the top of a gigantic ancient tree.

Zhao Lin'er and Gu Luo quickly reacted. They moved forward and many of the other respected warriors followed, intending to collectively besiege and kill the undying Xiao Chen.

Gu Luo and Zhao Lin'er hopped in the air, exchanging several successful hits with Xiao Chen, between them. The brilliant light kept erupting in the air and the nearby trees were continually blasted apart due to shockwaves, with leaves and wood splintering everywhere. Xiao Chen used their power to land on a giant tree. He then bounded from branch to branch, flitting from one huge crown to the next, and springing away like an agile monkey.

Gu Luo's face was extremely solemn. Although healed by the Light of Life, he had lost too much blood and consumed much of his Yuan Qi, which made him drop back down to the earth forcibly by Xiao Chen. Unable to suppress his rage any longer, he led the group to pursue him.

At this moment, another breaking sound rang out. Three icy statues suddenly shattered and the three skeletons imprisoned within were not dead. They shattered their confinement and restored their freedom, casually and calmly impaling three people nearby.

The forest was instantly thrown into chaos and the sight of the three Undying creatures caused fear. However, the three skeletons did not participate in further slaughter, but instead, like Xiao Chen, quickly fled deep into the marsh.

The sunset had long disappeared and the marsh was dim and gloomy.

At this point, Xiao Chen had already held his breath.

Gu Luo and Zhao Lin'er led the group, unbearably pursuing their target. They didn't want to afford Xiao Chen another opportunity, they decided to exterminate him in this forest today. However, they suddenly heard a 'thud' sound, someone had inexplicably fallen down in the dim forest.

"Thud"

Another person fell and did not rise again!

"It's bad, it's the Corpse Epidemic! Retreat quickly!" Gu Luo's eyebrows furrowed when the first person fell, and he reacted quickly.

In the light of the bleak moon, a faint haze could be seen rising from the marsh. Chaos ensued in the Death Swamp with everyone fleeing in fear as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Black fog was persistently rising, the fluctuation of deathly stillness spread, the swamp had become a Death Domain!

For both Zhao Lin'er and Gu Luo, based on their Cultivation Level, they can hold their breaths for a long time to prevent the Corpse Epidemic from threatening their lives. But others were not so lucky, all of them felt dizzy and people were falling to the ground constantly.

When they ran out of this swamp, only five people followed Gu Luo and Zhao Lin'er. The rest had been left behind in the Death Domain.

Gu Luo looked ashen and his face was exceptionally gloomy. If those people all died, he would be left without a single subordinate. Gritting his teeth, he turned to Zhao Lin'er and said, "Please assist me, Your Highness. Go with me into the marsh and bring them out. I have a way to restore them."

Zhao Lin'er was also spooked. She felt that Xiao Chen was not easy to deal with, but she didn't say much. She stormed back into the Death Swamp with Gu Luo to rescue the unconscious.

Outside the swamp, a vast number of bodies lay immobile. Their breathing close to ceasing, black lines appeared on their skin, the corpse poison had already seeped in deeply.

"Holy Purification!" Guided by Gu Luo's command, a scroll was spread out, its milky-white light serving as a protective curtain over the open area. As the victims of the vile corpse poison let out groans, black smoke rose from their bodies and then evaporated under the white light, hissing audibly and disappearing into thin air.

Once the invaluable Purification Scroll was used up, everyone escaped danger.

Xiao Chen did not know that Gu Luo had such a life-saving object. At this moment, he had already regrouped with the three skeletons and escaped from the marsh, in another direction recuperating his Yuan Qi.

"We can't let him get away just like this!" Gu Luo's face was grim, the rage in his heart was surging from the heavy losses today.

Zhao Lin'er frowned slightly and said, "But the Corpse Epidemic is a natural barrier that brings us a lot of trouble."

"No matter, I still have one scroll unused!"

Half an hour later, once everyone on the ground had recovered, Gu Luo unrolled a scroll and began to chant, "Dispelling evil and darkness, Holy Radiance protects me!"

The scroll turned into ashes, and half of the people were enveloped by a holy radiance. Their bodies glowed faintly, clearly visible in the night. The other half who were not within the scope of the holy light did not receive the "Holy Guard," and were left outside the marsh to wait and provide assistance.

When these people appeared before Xiao Chen, he was surprised, and he led the three skeletons back into the marsh. However, this time the Corpse Epidemic didn't affect those people. Upon meeting the holy radiance, it dispersed automatically, so nobody was afraid of the Death Marsh anymore.

Gu Luo and Zhao Lin'er led everyone to chase and kill, causing Xiao Chen and the three skeletons to flee in a pitifully sorry state, almost perishing several times. In the end, Xiao Chen disregarded the obstruction of the three skeletons and rushed into the center of the Dark Swamp, of course, during this process, he slowed down his pace, trying to keep up with the crowd.

"Roar!"

An extremely grim and terrifying roar suddenly sounded in the Death Marsh. The deep ghostly roar gave everyone goosebumps - the dreadful howl was truly terrifying.

In the mud ahead, the darkness was impenetrable, and from the shadows, a giant corpse ten meters tall was seen howling to the sky. The aura of death swept violently, as if one had entered a dreadful hell!

"Roar!"

Yet another chilling ghostly roar, the endless darkness surged in an instant, it was a surging tide of corpse qi!

The people chasing Xiao Chen were horrified to discover that the Holy Radiance enveloping them extinguished instantly, the dreadful death energy had shattered the "Holy Radiance".

"Not good, retreat quickly! It's the King of Undying!" Gu Luo cried out, his voice trembling.

Everyone was chilled to the bone, scared witless!

The king among undying creatures, which only exists in legends, even gods would change color when they reached their ultimate realm!

All of them fled for their lives, everyone was terrified to the extreme. Why did they encounter the king among Undying creatures? While Gu Luo was terrified, he was also angry. But when he remembered that this was an ancient, sealed island from the primordial times, he felt at ease.

Xiao Chen, although he was mentally prepared, was also chilled to his bones. He quickly fled from the crowd. At this time, the three skeletons rushed over from somewhere, taking him into the Dark Swamp where they zigzagged to escape.

Endless death energy surged, people under Gu Luo continuously fell down in the marsh. Behind them, a terrifying giant shadow followed at a leisurely pace in the darkness, casually harvesting lives!

Xiao Chen caught a glimpse from a distance and couldn't help but gasp. In a daze, he saw what seemed to be a pair of giant decaying wings behind the ten-meter-tall shadow!

The death qi surged, endless darkness blocked his vision, and he could see no more...
