CHAPTER 1039: CHAPTER 1036: ANCIENT TOMB CROW

"Three Ancient Void Coins."

Qiankun Ancestor stepped forward, took out three Ancient Void Coins, and handed them to the crow atop the tomb.

The crow opened its mouth and held the three Ancient Void Coins, standing on the tomb, reverting to its sculpture-like form.

At that moment, the earthen tomb closed and returned to its original state.

Compared to the crow tomb they encountered when initially entering, this crow tomb was evidently more reasonable.

Or perhaps, this crow tomb knew that Ye Xuan and his party were from Dao Chu Cliff, so it did not haggle but simply made way.

With no more obstacles, the group of five continued forward.

At regular intervals, they would trade with a crow tomb to pass through the territory of the crow tombs.

Boom!

Just after Ye Xuan and his group had traveled a while, a fierce Chi Yan aura descended.

In the distance, a massive crow approached, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The terrifying aura rushing led to chills down their spines.

But upon closer inspection, there was chaos within the aura, indicating it was wounded.

"Is that Emperor Mo?!"

The young Array Emperor, upon witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but exclaim.

Qiankun Ancestor frowned deeply, with a somewhat solemn expression, and said, "It’s not Emperor Mo, but the East Emperor."

The crow covering the sky and sun was not Emperor Mo, but another overlord, the East Emperor.

This world-renowned overlord guarding the southern part of the crow tomb seemed wounded.

Chasing behind the East Emperor was a crow, decayed all over with even its white bones visible.

This crow, only thirty feet in size, seemed insignificant in the East Emperor’s eyes.

Yet now, the East Emperor was being hunted by this small crow, appearing quite miserable!

This was truly shocking.

Boom!

At that moment, Ye Xuan released Zhou Youwei, leaped into the air, and charged toward the East Emperor.

"Emperor Ye!"

Seeing Ye Xuan, the fleeing East Emperor called out in ancient language, his tone urgent.

Zoom!

Ye Xuan flashed through the void, instantly striking out.

Ye Xuan passed the East Emperor one above and one below, gripping Guo Hezu, eyes fixed on the thirty-foot crow behind.

This crow appeared decayed, with even exposed bones and disheveled feathers.

But revealing its origins would send chills down one’s spine.

This crow was none other than the most terrifying of the crow tomb, the ancient tomb crow!

A power unmatched, surpassing the four overlords of the crow tomb!

The mere fact that the East Emperor was fleeing indicated the terrifying nature of the ancient tomb crow.

One must know that the East Emperor’s strength within the crow tomb was second only to Emperor Mo, yet now he was reduced to fleeing.

"Scram if you don’t want to die."

The ancient tomb crow, seeing Ye Xuan charging, flapped its wings, instantly generating terrifying power to suppress Ye Xuan.

Slash——

Ye Xuan lifted his hand, the sword Guo Hezu erupted, immediately splitting that power.

Simultaneously, golden light flickered at Ye Xuan’s brow.

Boom!

Instantly, with a ’caw’ from the ancient tomb crow, it vanished without a trace.

That scene unfolded in a split second, even the young Array Emperor and Yao Yueqing had no time to react.

Seeing the ancient tomb crow disappear, the East Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and landed on the ground.

Upon sensing the presence of the East Emperor and the ancient tomb crow, the crow tombs on the ground receded in advance, so the ground was flat, allowing the massive East Emperor to land steadily.

The East Emperor’s eyes were scarlet-gold, filled with an aura of fiery flame, overseeing the south of the crow tomb.

Logically, the current region was the East Emperor’s domain, but the present state of the East Emperor was unexpectedly haggard.

"Thank you, Emperor Ye."

After landing, the East Emperor looked up at the returning Ye Xuan, gratefully said.

Ye Xuan retracted Guo Hezu, slightly furrowed brows looked at the East Emperor, and asked slowly, "What happened? Why were you chased by the ancient tomb crow?"

Earlier, he used the power of the ’Immortal’ character to force the ancient tomb crow back to the crow tomb, aiding the East Emperor temporarily.

But this was only temporary.

The East Emperor’s eyes showed a trace of bitterness, he shook his head and sighed, "The crow tomb has changed..."

The East Emperor began to recount in ancient language what had transpired in the crow tomb after Ye Xuan left.

It turned out that after Ye Xuan and his companions departed, the ancient tomb crow started to awaken.

Emperor Mo was the first to be attacked, after sending off Ye Xuan, attacked by the ancient tomb crow on the return journey, now in slumber.

Subsequently, Hei Shui was also suppressed.

The Corpse Demon was directly beaten into submission.

Only the East Emperor remained unconquered.

Yet today, the East Emperor was targeted and pursued.

Ye Xuan, hands in his pockets, eyes narrowed, had foreseen the revival of the ancient tomb crow but did not expect it to attack the four overlords.

He previously felt unease.

The event indeed occurred.

"How many ancient tombs have revived now?" Ye Xuan asked slowly.

"Three," the East Emperor gravely said.

The revival of three ancient tomb crows swept across the entire crow tomb.

What an indescribable terrifying power.

"Take me to see Emperor Mo first," Ye Xuan quickly decided.

"The western part, where Emperor Mo is, has already been seized by the ancient tomb crow, going there might lead us into an ambush," the East Emperor voiced his concern.

"No worries," Ye Xuan shook his head slightly.

The East Emperor couldn’t help but recall the scene where Ye Xuan had just forced the ancient tomb crow to retreat, asking softly, "Do you have a way to deal with the ancient tomb crow?"

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

The power of the Ancient Character could indeed suppress the ancient tomb crow.

Otherwise, with merely his current power, it would be challenging to contend against it.

"Let’s go." The East Emperor lowered his body, allowing everyone to land on his back.

Once everyone was steady, the East Emperor took flight.

With Ye Xuan seated, the East Emperor grew considerably bolder.

Previously facing the ancient tomb crow, he was indeed no match.

But now it was different.

With Ye Xuan present, the East Emperor felt he need not hesitate further.

The group headed straight west.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, over a million miles away, a desolate tomb experienced a change.

The ancient tomb split open, and the crow atop the tomb revived.

This crow, covered in decayed feathers, was missing half its flesh, exposing white bones.

Now, the crow opened its eyes, eyes glistening with icy killing intent.

This crow was precisely the ancient tomb crow that Ye Xuan forced retreat with the ’Immortal’ character.

"To think a mere ant who just entered the Saint Realm possesses such power, I underestimated him."

"But the affairs of the crow tomb are not for an outsider like you to meddle with!"

The ancient tomb crow muttered to itself.

The ancient tomb crow suddenly raised its head, issuing an eerie ’caw caw’ sound.

After a while, flapping sounds echoed from all directions.

Then, countless crows soared into the sky, heading south towards Ye Xuan and his group!

"Enjoy the revelry!"

The ancient tomb crow said coldly.
