Danzun War God

Chapter 277 The Corpse Emperor

"The Devouring Heaven Technique? What kind of divine power is that?" Han Qi couldn't help but ask curiously.

At this moment, Hades, who was about to escape, saw Han Qi's joyful expression and stopped, looking at Han Qi with curiosity.

"Master, don't underestimate my Devouring Heaven Technique. This technique can devour the enemy's cultivation and convert it for your own use!" the artifact spirit said proudly.

Han Qi was not surprised by the answer that it was a spirit, and did not react much. He just smiled and said, "This Devouring Heaven Technique is indeed a good technique, but if it devours people indiscriminately, it is better to do without it."

Seeing that it was not approved by its master, the artifact spirit became a little anxious. It then conjured a human figure on the Mountain and River Map and hurriedly said, "Master is right. I was wrong before, but I promise to listen to you from now on and never do anything that doesn't produce smoke again. However, Master, the Devouring Heaven Technique of Qi has another function: it can devour the enemy's Qi power and neutralize the opponent's attack!"

"It has this function too?" If that's the case, then it is indeed a good skill.

"Well, also, the owner of the Mountain and River Map doesn't need to take it out to achieve the desired effect, as long as we keep our minds connected!" Seeing Han Qi's interest, the spirit quickly added, like a child trying to curry favor with its master.

"That's right, so what's at the bottom of this ancient well?"

"This...down there...uh...some corpses down there!" the artifact spirit said in a low voice, clearly reluctant to mention this matter.

"Is this your masterpiece?" Han Qi asked, his smile fading.

"These are all things of the past! Let's not bring them up again," the spirit tried to brush off Han Qi.

“How can we not mention it? I came here specifically to bring them here. What’s your relationship with them?” Han Qi asked, pointing to the ancient well.

"Relationship? I killed them all when they were alive, and they certainly won't let it go after they're dead. Fortunately, my cultivation is above theirs, so they've maintained a balance. But in the last hundred years, I haven't let their numbers increase, or they would have surpassed me!" the spirit said resentfully.

"Then you should also know about the Asura King?" Han Qi said calmly.

The spirit of the artifact fell silent for a long time before finally saying, "I would recognize him even if he turned to ashes. I once swore that the first thing I would do after leaving the Discount Well was to find the Asura King and take revenge!"

"If that bastard hadn't stolen my inner core back then, he wouldn't have advanced to the Asura King, and I wouldn't be stuck in this well. Back then, I roamed the world freely, leaving my footprints all over the Nine Provinces. How carefree I was! It was only because he stole my inner core while I was cultivating that my cultivation level was greatly reduced, and I ended up in this state!"

"Yes, we must avenge this. There will definitely be opportunities in the future. But what is the cultivation level of the corpse refiner here? Is it easy to deal with?" Han Qi asked.

"This is a bit difficult, but... Master, you have a divine weapon in hand and a sacred artifact on your body, so it's still uncertain who will win in the end," the artifact spirit said excitedly.

Han Qi turned to look at Hades, who was also looking at him with surprise. Hades had also seen the changes in the Mountain and River Map, but he was unaware of the communication between Han Qi and the spirit of the artifact.

"Lord Skywalker, what are your plans?" Hades asked in a fawning manner.

"Let's go in!" Han Qi said calmly.

He then leaped into the ancient well. As soon as he entered the well, Han Qi felt a chilling aura emanating from the well. The whole process took only a few breaths. Suddenly, a bright light shone into Han Qi's eyes, making him feel a little dizzy.

Once Han Qi's feet touched the ground, he realized that he was surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The whole place was white, a beautiful, pristine world, but Han Qi had no interest in admiring it.

Han Qi was desperately searching for the so-called Corpse King, but after looking around, he found nothing special except for a bone-chilling cold, let alone any Corpse King.

Just then, Hades also entered, but he was extremely panicked and very unsettled. He had long heard of the Ancient Well Secret Realm in the Underworld, and everyone who had heard of it avoided it like the plague. Yet he had actually followed Skywalker in. For the sake of the stability of the Underworld, he had staked his life on Skywalker. To show his loyalty, he could only swallow his pride and bear the pain.

"Where's the promised Corpse King?" Han Qi asked, stunned.

"Everyone else is trying to avoid them like the plague, yet you're eager to come looking for them!" Hades muttered.

Just then, a sinister laugh rang out: "Heh heh! I've finally waited for you. Let's see where you can run this time!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Hades involuntarily took a step back, then exclaimed in alarm to Han Qi, "This is the Asura King!"

"I've seen him!" Han Qi said casually, seemingly not taking the Asura King seriously at all.

He then said loudly, "King Asura! How have you been? Thank you for the Earth Spirit Orb you gave me last time."

Seeing Han Qi's mocking expression, the Asura King was furious: "Skywalker, don't be too smug. Today is the day you two die. I will rule the human world and the underworld all by myself!"

"Leaving aside whether what you said is based on any evidence, there's one thing you need to understand: the human realm and the underworld are mother and child realms. Without the human realm, the underworld will cease to exist," Han Qi said calmly, glancing at her.

"Of course I know about the Mother-Child Realm. Whether it's destroyed or not is up to me. We've always let you be the main body and us be the child body. It's time for a change." The Asura King said smugly.

"Wake up, Asura King! The Underworld is not your place to rule!" the Underworld King said angrily.

"Hehe! Enough with the nonsense, let's settle this with our skills!" Asura King said, simultaneously unleashing several flags from his hand.

The once pristine white world instantly transformed into a scene of howling winds and carnage, a veritable battlefield strewn with corpses. Furthermore, the clothing worn by the dead revealed that they came from different realms, including the human world, the demon realm, the underworld, and the realm of monsters.

Han Qi was startled by the change before him, but quickly realized that the blackness was the normal color of the underworld, and the claim that the Corpse King lived here had some credibility.

Han Qi dared not be careless and immediately drew his divine weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, which emitted a buzzing sound from its sword inscription, seemingly awaiting Han Qi's command.

Immediately afterwards, the Asura King also unleashed the Asura Curved Blade, level two, and slashed down at Han Qi's face.
