His voice was intermittent, as if it came from a long time ago, or as if it were a persistent thought from his lifetime.

Yuan Qianmo's spiritual power had reached the forty-ninth level, and he cultivated the Heavenly Dao of the Necromancer. His death mental power was formidable, and his holy soul far surpassed those of others in the same realm. Yet, the intermittent sounds from the corpse pierced his holy soul, causing it to ache.

"What a terrible regret. This corpse must have been a powerful Saint King in life, but I don't know where it came from."

"According to the simulation, I passed the test by dealing with him using the three ancient methods, which shows that I am no match for him in a direct confrontation."

Yuan Qianmo pondered for a moment.

"Let's test the waters first."

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the corpse, mobilizing the spatial rules within his Holy Soul to tear a spatial rift at the location of the corpse.

One of the rewards Yuan Qianmo received was the cultivation experience of a Space Controller, which made his mastery of the Way of Space far surpass that of the Way of Origin and the Way of Darkness.

The moment the spatial rift appeared, a terrifying suction force erupted.

However, the corpse of the Holy King emitted streams of Holy Dao rules, blocking the absorption of spatial power, and then moved, rushing towards Yuan Qianmo.

The battle axe, taller than a man, was wielded by the corpse of the Holy King. The broken axe blade unleashed an astonishing sharpness, even more terrifying than a strike from a high-level Holy Master.

Yuan Qianmo dared not attempt to meet the attack head-on, so he used spatial teleportation and flashed to appear dozens of feet away.

Almost simultaneously, the battle axe landed where he had been standing, splitting the earth open and creating a terrifying ravine.

Yuan Qianmo was still shaken. The power of this attack had surpassed that of a Saint in the Upper Realm. In terms of sheer power, even a Saint in the Profound Yellow Realm might not be able to match it.

"Fortunately, this corpse only had a trace of its remaining instincts left, otherwise how could a half-saint realm cultivator possibly survive against it?"

Without giving him much time to think, after his first attack missed, the Holy King's corpse swung its battle axe again and charged at him.

"The Light of Origin".

"Darkness is invisible."

Yuan Qianmo unleashed both the Origin Path and the Dark Path techniques simultaneously. The two attacks landed on the Saint King's corpse, but they failed to penetrate even the armor. Instead, he almost lost his own footing and couldn't dodge the battle axe.

Having narrowly escaped using spatial teleportation, Yuan Qianmo dared not launch another attack rashly.

"During the Primordial Destiny Disc simulation, I relied on the three ancient paths to finally defeat the Holy King's corpse. But it seems that even the ancient paths can't deal with this Holy King's corpse. What's the problem?"

While dodging, Yuan Qianmo activated his Origin Divine Eye to carefully observe the changes in the Holy King's corpse. As the battle continued, he finally made a discovery.

"Yes, it is just a corpse that has been dead for countless years. Although its power is strong, it is all due to the residue in its body. If this continues, it will eventually run out."

Having found the key, Yuan Qianmo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's see who can last longer."

What followed was a fierce chase that took place beneath the sacred tree, with one hiding and the other pursuing.

Yuan Qianmo used the three ancient methods, especially spatial methods, to avoid countless attacks from the Holy King's corpse.

Three full days passed. As the battle axe fell once more, Yuan Qianmo used spatial teleportation to dodge dozens of feet away before stopping in place.

Because the remains of the Holy King did not undergo any further action.

As the terrifying aura emanating from the corpse disappeared, the sense of crisis that had enveloped Yuan Qianmo also dissipated.

He let out a long sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.

After being chased for three days, both his mental strength and the holy energy in his body were greatly depleted. Any other half-saint would have given up long ago. It was only because Yuan Qianmo had a special physique and had reached the Supreme Realm five times that his Qi Sea capacity far exceeded that of others at the same level.

After observing the Holy King's corpse from a distance for a while and confirming that it no longer posed a threat, Yuan Qianmo finally felt completely relieved.

He took out a restorative elixir and swallowed it. He then sat cross-legged on the spot and began circulating the "Death God's Codex." After a quarter of an hour, his condition had recovered by more than half.

Yuan Qianmo did not dare to touch the corpse of the Holy King. Instead, he walked straight towards the tree hole. The closer he got, the stronger the life force became.

He knew that the sacred wood essence inside the cave had developed sentience and transformed into a primordial wood spirit, so he was extremely cautious. He appeared relaxed on the surface, but was secretly on guard.

The tree hollow was extremely deep; after walking for thirty or forty feet, the true face of the sacred tree essence finally appeared before our eyes.

It was a green ball of light about two feet in diameter, radiating a rich aura of life. The life force had been transformed into tangible energy, nourishing the area around the tree hole and causing various colorful and vibrant flowers and plants to grow inside, completely different from the ancient battlefield outside.

"This is the final reward of the Scorched Valley Trial? Now it's mine!"

Yuan Qianmo showed a look of surprise and walked towards the Sacred Wood Essence without any guard.

The distance between them kept closing, ten zhang... five zhang... three zhang... two zhang...

The instant he entered within one zhang of the Sacred Wood Essence, Yuan Qianmo suddenly made his move, wielding the Dragon Sky Sword in one hand and forming the Sacred Technique 'Death God Seal' with the Death God Fire in the other.

Saint Wood Essence originally planned to wait until Yuan Qianmo took him before making a move, but he never expected that Yuan Qianmo would see through his disguise. In his haste, he was unable to dodge the attack, and both the sword and the seal landed solidly on his body.

The ball of light flew backward, its radiance dimmed, and it transformed into a child of about ten years old with two green braids on his head.

"You ambushed me!"

Yuan Qianmo looked at the child-like innate wood spirit in front of him and did not relax his vigilance. He withstood the attacks of the Death God Seal and the Dragon Sky Sword, but the opponent's light only dimmed slightly, which meant that the opponent was definitely not simple.

According to the simulation of the Primordial Destiny Disc, this innate wood spirit possesses power comparable to that of a high-level saint.

"Didn't you intend to ambush me?" Yuan Qianmo said with a faint smile.

The innate wood spirit stood up, its entire body enveloped in green life energy and sacred wood energy. It sullenly said, "If I fall into your hands, you'll definitely refine me. You want to harm me, but can't I even protect myself?"

Yuan Qianmo scrutinized him carefully, then looked around the inside of the tree hole, and said, "The essence of the sacred wood is indeed useful to me, but logically speaking, you shouldn't have developed sentience, after all, you were personally condensed by the Seven Great Masters of Tiannan."

"What Seventh Master? I am a spirit born of heaven and earth. You can't have me. I am very powerful."

After saying that, the innate wood spirit unleashed a powerful surge of holy energy and flew towards Yuan Qianmo.

Compared to the corpse of the Holy King, the innate wood spirit posed a much smaller threat. Yuan Qianmo did not dodge, but instead raised his hand and struck out with a palm, colliding with it.

With a "bang".

Yuan Qianmo's body was pushed backward until it hit the cave wall before stopping.

"Such brute strength."

He clenched his slightly numb hands, gaining an understanding of the power of the innate wood spirit.

He possesses ten blood spirit veins within his body. As a divine son, he is not lacking in cultivation resources. Therefore, his physical body has progressed rapidly, with 143 out of 144 acupoints in his body already sanctified. He is only one step away from achieving physical sanctification.

With his supreme physique of the Death God's Embryo, even some newly-established saints might not be able to match him.

However, when facing a primordial wood spirit, its power was inferior, which shows how strong the opponent was.

But all he has is strength.

Yuan Qianmo could tell that the other party seemed to have just embarked on the path of cultivation, and his understanding of the Holy Path was still very shallow, so he was unable to exert his own power at all.

The innate wood spirit landed on the ground, rubbed its head, and was somewhat at a loss when it saw that Yuan Qianmo's aura was normal.

"You're still alive?"

Yuan Qianmo shook off the wood chips on his body and said, "It seems that's all you know how to do. Surrender and I might spare your life."

The expression on the little face of the innate wood spirit changed. She glanced at the cave entrance out of the corner of her eye, and then transformed into a stream of light and fled out of the cave.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qianmo hurriedly chased after him. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, his expression changed.
