The gate of the Demon Emperor Palace was closed. The entire first floor was eerily silent.
At the end of the hall, there seemed to be something that made Li Mu's hair stand on end.
Li Mu tried to open the gate of the Demon Emperor Palace. However, he realized that even if he used the Great Strength Technique, he could not move the gate at all. He tried a few more spells but to no avail.
In order to conserve his magic power, Li Mu quickly gave up on trying.
At this moment, Illusion Princess had already flown to his side. She looked at the tightly shut gate of the Demon Emperor Palace and asked in shock, "Why is the gate here closed?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "When I came down, the gate closed by itself."
Illusion Princess went forward and tried to push it a few times. However, the stone gate was extremely thick. After it closed, it became one with the Demon Emperor Palace. It was not something that could be moved with brute force.
Illusion Princess was still trying. Li Mu said indifferently, "Save it. Save some magic power. Who knows what will happen later."
Illusion Princess looked back at him and said coldly, "It's none of your business!"
Li Mu was too lazy to care about her. The life and death of this demonic witch had nothing to do with him. However, everyone was trapped in this strange Demon Emperor Palace. They were like grasshoppers on a rope. Preserving her strength was the same as preserving his own strength.
Although Illusion Princess had a bad attitude towards Li Mu, compared to those demons, she was clearly smarter. After Li Mu's reminder, she did not try to open the gate again.
In this short period of time, everyone in the chaotic battle realized that something was wrong and stopped.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the gate here closed?"
"Who did it?"
…
Li Mu looked at the consecrators and elders of the six sects and said, "Everyone, look around. See if there are any other exits. Ten people in a group. Do not scatter."
Illusion Princess also ordered the demonic cultivators to look for other exits.
At this moment, everyone realized that the entire Demon Emperor Palace only had one exit. There were no windows on the three floors. The reason why the hall was so bright was because of the glowing pearl on the ceiling.
"What, what is this!"
A woman from Meizong Sect could not help but exclaim when she saw something on the ground in the hall on the first floor.
Everyone looked over and saw the corpse of a giant wolf.
In the battle earlier, a wolf demon and a leopard demon had lost their physical bodies, leaving only their demon souls behind. At this moment, their demon bodies had lost all their flesh and blood for some unknown reason. They had turned into dried corpses that were only skin and bones. They looked ferocious and terrifying.
To the people in the hall, the dried corpses and zombies were not scary. What was scary was that they did not know the reason why the two demonic corpses had become like this.
The unknown was always the scariest.
Not only did the two demonic corpses change, even the bloodstains on the ground disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the Fu-lu School elders and a few consecrators of the imperial court were looking for an exit. They had already reached the back of the palace hall. One of the consecrators raised his head and looked. He couldn't help but be shocked. "What is this!"
Behind the wooden shelves was a blood-red coffin.
The coffin was one zhang long and half a zhang wide. It was completely blood-colored, and as soon as Zhang Xuan walked in, the stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Because it was hidden behind the wooden shelves, no one had noticed it earlier.
Soon, the crowd gathered around him.
"Why is there a coffin here?"
"Could it be that the Lord Demon Emperor is inside this coffin?"
"But why is the coffin blood-colored? Could it be that all the flesh and blood here has been absorbed by this coffin?"
… …
As everyone surrounded the coffin and discussed endlessly, Li Mu silently retreated to the back of the crowd.
In the next moment, a weak golden light flew out from the third floor of the palace hall and flew into Li Mu's sleeve without anyone noticing.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the coffin in front of him.
This coffin was full of oddities. It could even actively absorb the blood of the Demon Emperor Palace. Li Mu wouldn't believe that this was a normal situation even if he was beaten to death.
Thinking of the resurrected demonic corpses outside, Li Mu suddenly had a bold guess.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, the blood-colored coffin suddenly shone with a bright red light and exploded with a strong suction force.
The two demonic bears closest to the coffin were almost sucked into it. They had to use all their strength to stabilize their bodies.
However, the two demonic wolves and leopard demonic beasts that didn't have their demonic bodies and only had their demonic souls left were not so lucky. They were sucked into the blood coffin along with the ghost cultivator from the Soul Sect whose cultivation had dropped.
After their souls touched the blood coffin, they entered it without any hindrance.
Then, the suction force on the blood coffin disappeared and there was no more sound from the coffin.
However, the blood-colored coffin was rapidly fading away. Soon, the entire coffin became sparkling and translucent like jade.
However, it was even more terrifying in the hearts of the crowd. Seeing this strange scene with their own eyes, everyone quickly retreated, wanting to get as far away from the stone coffin as possible.
Creak …
An ear-piercing sound of rubbing stones suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The lid of the stone coffin slid down little by little. When it was halfway down, it suddenly flew to one side.
A figure flew out from the stone coffin and floated above the stone coffin.
That figure was very tall, but not burly. In fact, it was just a layer of skin wrapped around bones. His eye sockets were sunken, and his eyeballs were withered. The few strands of hair on his head even looked a little comical.
However, none of the people present were able to laugh.
This was because its body was emitting a strong corpse aura.
It was stronger than any of the demonic corpses they had encountered along the way.
Li Mu cursed in his heart when he sensed the powerful aura on this corpse. If this corpse that suddenly jumped out didn't have a cultivation level above the Sixth Realm, he would have chopped its head off and kicked it like a ball. Who said that this space couldn't have Sixth Realm cultivators? Wasn't this a scam? F * ck her …
Then, he remembered that it was the Empress who had said that. He silently swallowed the words he was about to say.
After the zombie in the coffin flew out of the stone coffin, it quietly floated in the air, looking a little dazed.
A zombie that had just been formed didn't have any spiritual intelligence. It only had instincts.
After floating quietly for a moment, its nose suddenly twitched a few times.
Even if it didn't have any spiritual intelligence, it instinctively sensed that there was something it needed here.
It inhaled sharply again. A wolf demon and a leopard demon suddenly flew forward. After a moment of shock, the two demons roared angrily. Their bodies suddenly changed. One turned into a human with a wolf's head and the other a leopard's head. Their arms also became several times thicker. Hair as hard as steel needles grew. Sharp claws that could cut through metal and stone pierced towards the zombie's chest and head.
Clang!
Clang!
Their claws collided with the zombie's body. Immediately, sparks flew. After two crisp sounds, the two demons' sharp nails broke and their claws bent. The zombie grabbed their necks and flew back into the coffin. The coffin lid automatically flew up and closed.
This scene seemed to take a long time, but it was actually just a short moment.
It wasn't until the two demons were caught into the coffin that everyone in the hall finally reacted.
At this moment, whether it was the Dao Sect or the Demon Sect, all the demons took out their Dharma treasures and cast spells to attack the stone coffin.
Although there were still grudges and disputes between them, the most important thing now was to destroy this powerful demon corpse.
However, no one knew what material the stone coffin was made of. Under the attacks of the Dharma treasures, only shallow scratches were left on it.
All kinds of spells couldn't cause too much damage to it.
After the stone coffin shook for a while, the lid flew out again. The wolf demon and leopard demon were also thrown out.
At this moment, their bodies were all skin and bones. Their flesh and blood had disappeared. Even their demon souls were gone.
The zombie flew out of the coffin again.
At this moment, his skin was more lustrous than before. His eyes were also more lively than before.
His eyes flickered as if he was thinking.
This scene shocked everyone. It took a long time for a zombie to develop spiritual intelligence. It was the same for the corpse of a powerhouse.
No matter what realm a powerhouse was in, their spirit was entrusted to their soul. When the primordial spirit dissipated, what was left was only a body. Even if the body became a spirit, it didn't have the original memories.
This zombie actually gained the ability to think in such a short period of time. Perhaps it had something to do with the few souls he devoured.
What made them even more shocked was that after devouring two more demons, there seemed to be some flesh and blood on the zombie's body. Its figure also became taller and more imposing. It looked extremely similar to the huge statue at the entrance of the Demon Palace …
Everyone could not help but have a crazy thought in their minds.
Could this zombie be the corpse of a Demon Emperor?
