"Could this be the master of this ancient temple?" Queen looked at the person on the altar and muttered in a low voice, voicing her doubt.
"I don't think so!" Ye Xiao shook his head and said.
In fact, he was sure that this person was not the master of the ancient temple. It is because this temple is inside the Void God's Vault, and it means this belongs to the Void God's Vault.
As for this person, Ye Xiao felt like he is a guard, guarding something here.
He also guessed that the danger that the mysterious lady was talking about before was coming from this person.
He guessed like this because when he saw this person, even his heart trembled. He could not see through this person's strength. But the feeling of danger coming from this person is something that he had felt only once, and it was from the Emissary of Heavens.
"Listen..."
As soon as Ye Xiao tried to say something...
"Bang!" "Bang!"
A sound that sounded like a beating heart echoed in the silent stone pillar forest. This sound was extremely soft, and if one did not listen carefully, one would not be able to hear it.
However, Ye Xiao and Queen would rather not hear it. This discovery made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave and their souls almost left their bodies.
Queen and Ye Xiao looked at each other and understood what was in each other's minds.
Since this person was giving Ye Xiao the same feeling when he was facing the Emissary of Heavens, it means he is at least at the level of a Fake Divine God. In fact, he should truly be a Fake Divine God.
After all, the Emissary of Heavens was so much powerful only because of the support of Heavenly Dao and comprehension of all the laws and their profound meanings, except for the four supreme laws.
"Wait, he is already dead!"
After the initial shock, Ye Xiao forcefully suppressed the overwhelming feeling and carefully sensed the aura of the man on the altar. After a short time, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice.
"But why is there a heartbeat sound?"
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Queen also sensed carefully and heaved a sigh of relief. But then, as if a question suddenly appeared in her mind, she frowned and asked curiously.
Ye Xiao also frowned when he heard this. He immediately used his Eyes of Insight to look at the man, and actually discovered something that startled him again.
Then he said in a low voice: "Because... His heart is still beating!"
"Hiss!"
When Ye Xiao finished speaking, Queen took in a breath of cold air. She looked at the man in front of her as if she was facing the greatest enemy of her life.
She is the Queen, she is one of them who are in existence since the birth of the Heavens. She has witnessed countless events that no one could even imagine happening, she has also faced enemies that everyone would be fearful of.
However, even she had never faced an unfathomable enemy like the man sitting on the altar. She could sense the terrifying aura on his body and understood that this man is far stronger than her.
Moreover, this person's heart was still beating. Then... How could he die?
The life force of a martial artist at this level, who has far surpassed the limit of Heavens, was extremely tenacious. Even if their body was broken, they could still rely on their strength to recondense their body.
As long as their heart is still alive, they wouldn't die!
Then how could this person be dead when his heart is still beating?
"Roar!"
Suddenly, at this moment, a hoarse low roar resounded. It shocked them until they hurriedly looked up. When they looked at it, their entire bodies instantly froze.
They saw that the corpse had already opened its eyes. A red light that was like a ghost flame flickered in his eyes. That faint gaze made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Boom!"
Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and unleashed his aura. He stared at the woken corpse with a serious expression.
"Those who step... altar... die!"
A stiff and broken voice came out of the corpse's mouth. Then, it raised its head and roared toward the sky. The sound shook the surroundings and terrifying cold energy suddenly rose from its body.
The evil aura, hatred, and other negative energies intertwined in its body, forming an incomparably evil aura.
"Bang!"
His feet moved as if he had turned into a shadow. In an instant, he appeared in front of Ye Xiao, with a pair of thick palms. He forcefully clawed at Ye Xiao. His nails were three inches long. It was grayish-white in color. Under the shine of the light, it reflected a metallic lustre. They looked incomparably sharp!
Ye Xiao's expression was solemn. He crazily mobilized his True Essence. At the same time, he took out the Void Shattering Spear and ruthlessly smashed toward the two sharp palm prints.
"Rumble!"
A deafening sound of collision resounded throughout the entire space, with Ye Xiao and the corpse at the center. An invisible force rushed in all directions. That powerful fluctuation caused Queen's expressions to change slightly.
"Cough!"
The terrifying rebounding force caused Ye Xiao to spurt out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but retreat.
If it wasn't for the fact that his body had far surpassed the level when he fought the Emissary of Heavens to an incomparably solid state, just this palm alone would be enough to make him fall apart.
What really made Ye Xiao feel uncomfortable was that the dark and cold evil intent that was pressing down from the palm of the corpse kept rushing into his body and invading his will.
"Ye Xiao!"
Queen, who was not far away, saw this and her expression changed. She cried out in worry and unleashed her powerful aura which was far stronger than Ye Xiao's aura.
This was the first time Ye Xiao had seen Queen unleashing her true strength. Her strength has also far surpassed that of any Ancient God but was still a little bit less than that of the Fake Divine God.
He knew, if he fought the corpse with the help of the Queen, he could take care of it far more easily. But this is not what he wanted.
He wanted to test his own strength. He wanted to examine himself and see if he is powerful enough to face the Emissary of Heavens or not.
Thus, he immediately raised his hand and stopped Queen, saying: "Don't come over. Let me handle it!"
Ye Xiao's stern words caused Queen to forcefully stop in her tracks. She believed in Ye Xiao, but the worry on her face could not be hidden.
Ye Xiao knew what Queen was thinking, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have many trump cards up my sleeve. I won't die that easily. You should know, I have already reached this step in short three hundred years even after becoming a mortal. I have faced many dangers far surpassing my level, and I have even fought with the Emissary of Heavens."
"Believe me when I am saying I could fight and take care of this dead thing. Let me fight it!"
Finally, after struggling a little, Queen nodded and agreed. She relaxed and the boundless aura rising from her body also died down. She became a bystander and started watching the battle between Ye Xiao and the corpse who has woken up.
"Roar!"
The corpse seemed to be even more furious after the attack failed. It stomped on the ground, causing the entire platform to shake. It rushed out and appeared in front of Ye Xiao in the blink of an eye. Its finger was like a sharp blade as it stabbed towards Ye Xiao.
"White Fist Annihilation!"
Ye Xiao's expression was calm. He didn't panic at all. He struck out with his fist. Boundless energy condensed into a white fist imprint and rushed toward the corpse.
"Void Shattering Spear!"
"Myriad Fire Image Technique!"
The White Fist Annihilation was only a fake move used by Ye Xiao to slow down the speed of the corpse. This next attack was his true killing move!
Ye Xiao held the Void Shattering Spear in his hand. With a sway of his body, he split into hundreds of fire clones. And all clones surrounded the corpse from every direction. Boundless energy surged out from the clones and suppressed the corpse within. It made it impossible for him to break free from the encirclement.
"Roar!"
The corpse that was surrounded by Ye Xiao's fire clones roared toward the sky. The red glow in its eyes increased dramatically as it struggled continuously. That powerful struggling force caused Ye Xiao's expression to become very serious. He did not dare to be neglectful anymore as he unleashed his attack.
