CHAPTER 1040: CHAPTER 1037: SWEEPING THROUGH ALL OPPONENTS

......

"Oh no."

As the group led by the East Emperor was advancing towards Emperor Mo, they suddenly sensed the arrival of a crisis.

The East Emperor’s gaze darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It’s definitely the handiwork of that old crow from the ancient tomb, making all the other crows attack!"

The darkness surrounding them came with the flapping sounds of wings and the overwhelming cawing of crows, making their scalp tingle.

This kind of anomaly is usually only something the Overlord of the Crow Grave has the privilege to unleash.

But now, the three resurrected old crows from the ancient tomb have surpassed the Overlord!

To the west was Emperor Mo, to the east was the Corpse Demon, and to the north was Hei Shui.

Except for the south, the entire area was controlled by the three ancient tomb crows.

This anomaly was instigated by the ancient tomb crow that previously chased the East Emperor.

This crow clearly intended to head south today, seize the southern area where the East Emperor was, and then contend with the other two ancient tomb crows.

But this crow hadn’t anticipated Ye Xuan’s sudden arrival, disrupting his plans.

However, since Ye Xuan disrupted the ancient tomb crow’s plans, the crow wouldn’t let him off easily.

This time, it’s revenge!

"Gah gah gah————"

The cawing of crows echoed from all directions, seemingly infused with some kind of magic power that sent one’s divine soul into chaos.

Ye Xuan, hands in his pockets, remained calm and said softly, "Don’t bother, just keep moving forward."

The East Emperor, hearing this, resolved to continue advancing toward Emperor Mo’s domain.

Boom———

Unable to hold back, some crows launched an attack, their collective wingbeats stirring a black tempest that swept across the heavens and earth.

The black tempest engulfed all directions.

"A bunch of fools unaware of their own mortality." Qiankun Ancestor snorted coldly.

"What on earth are these guys doing going crazy..."

The young Array Emperor hid behind Qiankun Ancestor, grumbling angrily.

Yao Yueqing stood with Zhou Youwei.

At this moment, Zhou Youwei’s left hand rested on the hilt of the Winter Thunder Blade, while her right hand was on the hilt of the Divine Sun Sword, ready to act at any moment.

As the black tempest was about to sweep over, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and a golden light flickered between his brows.

In an instant, the world cleared up.

The black tempest vanished in a blink.

And those cawing crows also disappeared without a trace this moment.

Not a single crow was left.

"Gah?"

This time, it was the East Emperor’s turn to be dumbfounded.

What the hell is this!?

So many crow graves acting simultaneously, even as one of the four former Overlords of the Crow Grave, he wouldn’t dare to confront it head-on.

But now, Ye Xuan had solved all the crow graves in a flash?!

For a moment, the East Emperor was profoundly shaken.

After a long silence.

The East Emperor sighed, "Truly, it’s you."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, showing no ripples of emotion.

The gathering of three thousand ancient characters into the character ’Immortal’ should inherently possess such power.

Moreover, Ye Xuan now was no longer the same as before.

When his Emperor Soul merged with the ’Immortal’ character, not only did the Emperor Soul recover significantly, but even the Emperor’s Shadow reemerged.

Now, Ye Xuan’s true strength was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

If Ye Xuan so wished, he could even sweep through the entire Crow Grave.

"My goodness, Brother Xuan, be a human already..."

The young Array Emperor had already recovered from shock, looking at Ye Xuan in disbelief.

Yao Yueqing was equally astounded.

Although they had already witnessed Ye Xuan perform countless miracles, each time there were endless shocks.

Absolutely terrifying!

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes moved slightly as she looked at Ye Xuan standing at the front, her hands moving away, revealing a smile.

Husband, indeed, he’s the epitome of invincibility.

With no crows left to hinder them, Ye Xuan’s group proceeded smoothly, entering Emperor Mo’s territory.

At this moment, all the overwhelming crow graves returned to normal.

The moment the power of the ’Immortal’ character emerged, all the crows went back to their tombs, turning into statues.

As if nothing had happened.

The ancient tomb crow, who was expecting good news, had a look of disbelief in its eyes.

"How is this possible!?"

"What did this guy do!?"

The ancient tomb crow was inwardly shaken.

It must be noted, the crow graves it controlled were incredibly formidable entities, with some possessing power close to the East Emperor.

Yet such a mighty force was dismantled in an instant.

"Who is he!?"

The ancient tomb crow whispered.

"A terrifying guy, better leave him alone for now." The ancient tomb crow said again.

It sounded like it was talking to itself, yet seemed like a conversation between two.

"Damn it!" The ancient tomb crow cursed in a low voice, eventually standing docilely atop the tomb, turning into a statue.

Since even its host said he was terrifying, it decided to temporarily retreat.

"Let that Baishan guy test his depths first..."

————

In the west where Emperor Mo resided.

Once they passed the west, they could leave the Crow Grave and head towards the Empty Ancient City.

This was the only path they could take.

However, Ye Xuan’s group didn’t leave directly but instead moved to a burial mound area in the northwest.

There, only a few inconspicuous earthen mounds lay, with very small crows atop them.

Some weren’t even as big as sparrows.

The smallest crow grave among them had a crow no bigger than a finger.

One wouldn’t even notice that crow unless looking closely.

At this moment, that finger-sized crow had its eyes closed, having turned into a statue.

Boom!

The next moment, a violent wind arose, followed by the descent of a colossal crow.

Ye Xuan’s group gradually descended from the East Emperor’s back, landing on the ground.

The East Emperor looked at the smallest crow grave, feeling a bit somber, "Emperor Mo is essentially ruined now."

The smallest crow grave wasn’t anyone else, it was Emperor Mo!

The former chief Overlord of the four great Overlords of the Crow Grave, now reduced to such a miserable state.

Ye Xuan walked to the front of Emperor Mo’s crow grave, gazing indifferently at the fingertip-sized Emperor Mo.

He had promised that after returning from Dao Chu Cliff, he would assist Emperor Mo.

What happened to Emperor Mo was beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Take out all the Ancient Void Coins."

Ye Xuan spoke softly.

Qiankun Ancestor stepped forward and took out all the Ancient Void Coins.

Ye Xuan took the Ancient Void Coins and poured them out completely, then scattered them around Emperor Mo’s crow grave.

Afterwards, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in front of Emperor Mo’s crow grave, using his hands as a pen and the ground as paper, he began to paint talismans.

The others saw this scene, although puzzled, they knew Ye Xuan was serious and didn’t speak to disturb him.

"This is..."

The East Emperor saw this scene, his pupils dilating rapidly.

Quietly, he sucked in a breath of cold air.

The East Emperor suddenly felt somewhat envious of Emperor Mo.

Although the four Overlords all knew Emperor Ye, in terms of relationships, naturally Emperor Mo’s relationship with Ye Xuan was strongest.

He and Hei Shui came next.

The Corpse Demon merely knew Emperor Ye.

This time, Emperor Ye was using an ancient ritual to help Emperor Mo recover his strength!
