The strike came swiftly, completely catching me off guard. Being positioned above the Corpse Spirit, I had no way to dodge it and was struck squarely in the chest!
Crack!
I heard a sharp sound erupt from my chest, a sound that was particularly clear. I recognized it well; it was the same sound that echoed every time my sword sliced into Big Zongzi's body.
It was the sound of bones fracturing.
My sternum had been shattered by that blow. Perhaps due to the speed of her movement, I initially felt no pain—only a tremendous force enveloping me before I was sent flying backward. It wasn't until I hit the ground that the pain registered, nearly knocking the breath out of me.
At that moment, the Corpse Spirit also crashed to the ground with a thud, creating a large crater upon impact.
The Killing Intent that had initially dissipated from my body surged forth once more, wrapping around me. The Crimson Killing Intent became tangible, and as this Killing Intent lingered within me, its power gradually revived.
In that instant, my emotions were complex; amidst my anger and sorrow, the latter felt more profound. Perhaps I couldn't feel pain because I was numb from it? Regardless, I leaned on the Azure Dark Sword and managed to stand up again.
I noticed that Qingyi had already seated himself behind me in meditation, like an immovable boulder. The aura emanating from him was astonishingly powerful. I recognized that he must be preparing for the Daoist Seven Divine Seals.
At that moment, the Corpse Spirit also rose to her feet.
Our eyes met, and for a moment, words escaped us.
Then, silently, I raised my sword. In that instant, all hope faded away; there was not a single shred of desire left.
Dong Tong was dead; the Corpse Spirit stood before me!
Because the Corpse Spirit valued friendship deeply; she was a person of great emotion and loyalty. She would not strike against me.
No matter what, the moment that palm struck my chest, the Corpse Spirit was dead to me. All memories associated with her remained lost in the vast desert, for I would rather reminisce about a deceased good friend than face a cold-blooded and heartless former acquaintance.
"Kill!"
A roar of fury erupted from my throat uncontrollably. The grief ignited the beast within me, making it even more ferocious. With unwavering determination, I lunged at the Corpse Spirit!
The Corpse Spirit also made her move!
In that instant, Killing Intent and Eerie Energy collided violently, causing the ground around us to crack and shatter. The intense Crimson Killing Intent fueled my resolve to fight her!
Every strike aimed for her vital points!
Every strike was delivered with full force!
I intended to behead this cold-blooded, immortal corpse and leave her mark in this forsaken world. She was never meant to exist here; it would be better for dust to return to dust! The Corpse Spirit I once knew, filled with deep emotions, would remain forever in my memory—at least, that’s how it would be!
The Corpse Spirit showed no mercy either. Each of her attacks was deadly, targeting my vital areas, clearly intent on putting me to death!
At that moment, we were locked in a life-and-death struggle.
In the blink of an eye, we had fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds. My stamina was nearly exhausted, yet Qingyi remained unresponsive. Finally, during one clash, I suffered a significant blow as the Corpse Spirit broke through my Protective Killing Intent and struck my shoulder with a palm. I staggered back several steps; if I hadn’t managed to lean on the Azure Dark Sword for support, I might have collapsed right there!
Gasping for breath, I fixed my gaze on the equally disheveled Corpse Spirit across from me.
After a brief rest, my energy had somewhat recovered. I raised my sword again to prepare for another attack when suddenly a furious roar erupted from Ghost Granny's direction: "Abomination! Old woman will fight you!"
Ghost Granny is going all out? Could it be...
Not long ago, when I had just deciphered the Gold Plate found in the belly of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ghost Granny claimed he had a way to deal with the Dark Lord. Given various reasons, I suspected that his method was likely not a good one, something that would require risking his life—an option only to be used in dire circumstances!
Now, hearing him roar in anger, I felt a bit panicked. I had been too focused on battling the Corpse Spirit to pay much attention to what was happening over there. His shout truly startled me, and I quickly turned my head.
The situation on that side could only be described with two words: devastating!
The ground was littered with large craters created by the Dark Lord's bombardment. Bald Qiang and the others had all collapsed, their fates unknown. The Water Ghost hovered in the air, continuously calling out to the Dark Lord, trying to awaken his soul consciousness, but unfortunately, it was of no use.
At this moment, Ghost Granny, a frail figure, seemed even more heroic. He staggered and could barely stand, his gray and white hair swirling wildly in the howling wind, giving him an air of desolation!
At least, that’s how it felt to me—a sense of sorrow filled my mind with the phrase "a hero in decline."
A hero in decline, a beauty with white hair; such profound sadness in the world!
Standing amidst the vast desolation, facing the ruins left by the Dark Warrior and Pavilion and Tower, Ghost Granny trembled as he pulled out a colorful stone from his bosom.
Whoosh!
The surrounding wind grew even more mournful; it sounded as if an Evil Spirit was weeping!
Even from a distance, I could feel that the Eerie Energy on that colorful stone was incredibly heavy, as if it were entirely composed of Eerie Energy!
“Oh my gosh, it's the Three Lives Stone!
Suddenly, a gasp echoed beside me. I turned to see Big Mouth Lee awakening, his face filled with shock as he stared at the stone in Ghost Granny's hand. He exclaimed, "How did that old man manage to summon our Maoshan Dao's ancestral treasure!"
The Three Lives Stone?
I was taken aback and couldn't help but ask urgently, "What exactly is the Three Lives Stone?"
"What do you mean, what is the Three Lives Stone? Are you stupid? There's only one Three Lives Stone in the Yin-Yang Realms! It's that one from the Underworld! This isn't something from the mortal realm!"
According to the records in Mausoleum Secrets, "Back in the day, Maoshan produced a genius who broke the rules of the Yin-Yang Realms! At that time, this genius's mother passed away, and despite being a monk, he couldn't see through life and death. He relentlessly pursued the Yincha that took his mother to the Underworld, breaking through the gates of hell and charging into the Underworld. In front of the Three Lives Stone, he saw his mother! He intended to take her away, which was against the rules. How could Yin Shuai agree to that? So he fought fiercely against various commanders of the Underworld in front of the Three Lives Stone, killing seventeen ghost kings and even shattering the Three Lives Stone. In the end, he returned to the mortal realm with his mother's soul and a piece of the Three Lives Stone. Unfortunately, because his mother's soul had been separated from her body for too long, she ultimately could not be revived and passed away once more. This genius was a devoted son; he watched helplessly as his mother died again, overwhelmed with grief and anger, and died from a fit of rage! However, that piece of the Three Lives Stone he brought back was enshrined in our Maoshan Dao ancestral hall for generations as a warning to future descendants not to break the rules of the Yin-Yang Realms!"
The Three Lives Stone of the Underworld.
I was stunned. After death, souls follow the Yincha across the gates of hell, tread along the Yellow Springs road, pass through the Other Shore Flower Sea, and finally reach the Wishing Platform for one last look at their homeland and loved ones. Then they arrive at the Three Lives Stone to witness their past lives, present life, and future—achieving enlightenment before stepping onto the Bridge of Helplessness, drinking Meng Po Soup, and entering Reincarnation!
The Three Lives Stone allows one to see beyond life!
I began to grasp what Ghost Granny intended to do!
At that moment, Big Mouth Lee added, "Over all these years, some have tried to use the Three Lives Stone. Although they succeeded, they suffered great losses in Lifespan and were consumed by Eerie Energy; in the end, none met a good fate!"
My expression changed drastically.
