All the cultivators on the ground gaped in astonishment, and even the invincible experts in the air were shocked.
At this moment, the middle-aged man revealed his sinister nature, exuding a chilling aura. The domineering aura of a peerless master he had previously possessed was completely gone. Now, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious, making him look like a demon.
The distant corpse demon trembled with fear, finally flying to the middle-aged man's feet, kneeling and prostrating itself in the void, constantly shaking.
The old monster seemed to have realized something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically. Chen Nan frowned and thought for a moment, then his expression also changed drastically. Only the two of them knew the mysterious middle-aged man's background.
"Could it be that he... the peerless master has been resurrected along with the evil Taoist from back then?" Chen Nan looked incredulous.
He had previously sensed a series of strange images at the barrier within the ancient tomb. One of them was a blurry figure riding a gigantic western dragon, commanding the White Bone Demon, which must have later become the three Corpse Fiends. Thousands of years later, the three Corpse Fiends must have been revived with the awakening of a demonic cultivator, or rather, a peerless master.
The underground tomb is closely connected to the underground world containing the jade palm. The reason why the peerless master in the underground tomb was able to be resurrected is probably closely related to the essence of heaven and earth drawn by the jade palm in the underground world.
"Could it be that the souls of that peerless master and the demonic cultivator have never dissipated? But this is simply too astonishing! People who have been dead for thousands of years have actually been resurrected!" Chen Nan was filled with confusion.
At this moment, the mysterious middle-aged man answered Chen Nan's doubts in a low voice.
"I never imagined that after countless ages, I would be able to awaken from a state of suspended animation. Mysterious martial arts techniques, the ethereal spiritual energy of an ancient immortal cave..."
What a stroke of luck! But am I still the same person? The demon's soul has actually merged into a human body. Who am I now? The middle-aged man's face was contorted with rage, his features filled with cruelty and ruthlessness.
Chen Nan was truly shocked. This peerless master had been in a state of suspended animation all along. After thousands of years of "recuperation," he had actually slowly revived! And the blood cultivation technique practiced by the demonic cultivator had actually attached his soul to Chen Nan's body, awakening with Chen Nan's revival, and the two souls merged together…
Thousands of years ago, the demon had already become an immortal, yet a peerless master was able to destroy him. Now that the two have merged into one, their strength is unimaginable!
"Since it's all unclean, it's better to disperse here." The middle-aged man looked down at the corpse demon at his feet, and suddenly swung his palm. A burst of blazing divine light instantly shattered the corpse demon into dust.
He coldly surveyed the several invincible experts high in the sky, then slowly turned his body, looking towards the distant sky in the east, west, south, and north.
Chen Nan was shocked and thought to himself: Could it be that there are still invincible experts in the distant sky who have not yet shown themselves?
Before he could think further, the mysterious middle-aged man stared intently at him with bloodshot eyes. Chen Nan immediately felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, his whole body turning icy cold, and a terrifying sense of oppression rose in his heart.
Just then, the jade hand suddenly shone brightly and rapidly soared into the sky. This sudden change startled Chen Nan. He wanted to use the Dragon-Capturing Hand to retrieve it, but he immediately abandoned the idea. With so many invincible experts around, he knew he couldn't possibly protect this divine artifact.
Duanmu of the Kunlun demon clan, Wang Xi of the Zixiao Palace, and three old monsters rushed towards the jade palm together. At the same time, several beams of strong light shot out from the east, west, south, and north, enveloping the jade palm, causing chaos in the air.
The mysterious middle-aged man roared and charged towards Guan Yu's palm. However, as soon as he joined in, everyone attacked him simultaneously. Several figures rushed in from the east, west, south, and north, unleashing powerful palm strikes around the mysterious middle-aged man.
Chaos erupted in the air as everyone swarmed and attacked the mysterious middle-aged man.
"Ugh..." The mysterious middle-aged man's disheveled hair flew wildly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He roared to the sky, "No one will leave here alive today!"
His chilling words exuded immense confidence, and no one doubted his abilities. All the invincible masters united. Faced with a master who didn't belong to the mortal realm and was an extremely unstable and madman, they had no choice but to join forces.
Just then, a beam of light suddenly struck Chen Nan, and the Houyi Bow on Chen Nan's body shot rapidly into the sky, getting caught in the vortex of the battle.
"I..." Chen Nan cursed, realizing that someone had taken advantage of the chaos and snatched Hou Yi's bow into the air.
The jade hand and Houyi's bow, two divine artifacts, spun continuously in the vortex of the great battle, but no one dared to approach them, lest they become the target of everyone's attacks. Even the mysterious middle-aged man, as powerful as he was, dared not make a move, because the invincible experts hidden in the shadows had now revealed themselves, and the crowd surrounded him from all sides, attacking him.
The battle at this moment was even more intense than the initial battle involving the three angels. Everyone in the air turned into streaks of light, making it difficult to see their figures. Everyone's movements were as fast as lightning.
The people on the ground were stunned. So many unexpected things had happened tonight. An invincible battle, the likes of which had never been seen in thousands of years, was unfolding before their eyes. How could they not be shocked?
This was destined to be a sleepless night, as all the cultivators in the capital of Chu were gazing up at the sky above the imperial palace.
The battle between invincible masters high in the sky was like a meteor shower, with streaks of light shuttling and intersecting, moving with lightning speed.
Just as everyone was gazing up at the epic battle between the invincible powerhouses high in the sky, two orbs of light, one golden and one black, suddenly burst forth from Chen Nan's body. The two dazzling orbs of light quickly intertwined as soon as they rose into the air, circling and rotating around each other, gradually forming five Tai Chi diagrams. The scene above the Demon Palace in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was recreated, only this time Chen Nan was absent. The two orbs of light spun and soared upwards on their own.
The onlookers were astonished; they hadn't even noticed where this mysterious Tai Chi diagram had come from.
"The Taiji Divine Demon Diagram!" Chen Nan exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he muttered, "Could they really be conscious? This..."
Before he could think any further, a heat surged through his chest, and the jade ruyi trembled slightly. Then, it suddenly took flight on its own, soaring into the sky with lightning speed, bursting forth with an unexpected burst of dazzling light.
