Chapter 137: Corpses

After the spatial prison was shattered, Suo Hen, Meng Fei, Gui Gui, and Mu Mu returned to the Main God’s Space.
With the spatial prison broken, various rules and laws from the outside world immediately took effect, restricting the powers of these four divine disciples.
Now that Fu Yun was by Chen Xiao’s side, they were temporarily not needed.
“Get up and let’s go,” Chen Xiao said, kicking Fu Yun.
Fu Yun jolted, got up from the ground, patted off non-existent dust from his clothes, and looked at Chen Xiao with a flattering smile.
“The Main God… He’s not the Main God yet, but according to the information just received, he is indeed the Main God… Could he be the son of the Main God? Well, following him is the right choice.”
Fu Yun had already become Chen Xiao’s follower, still weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He was originally the son of the Dragon King, with the strongest person in his clan being merely a Virtual God. Now, following the “son of the Main God,” his strength had increased countless times over.
At this moment, as the spatial prison was destroyed, the connection between the Main God’s Space and the Thousand Souls Realm was restored. Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief—at least he could leave at any time.
Before them was a golden hall, though it was in ruins. Apart from retaining its original color, everything else was in disarray.
Inside the hall, corpses lay scattered everywhere. These corpses were not limited to human forms; they came in various shapes and races.
“Do you know any of these people?”
Chen Xiao frowned slightly as he looked at the corpses.
Meng Fei shook his head. “None of them are from the Dragon Palace. In fact, there are some races I’ve never seen before.”
Hearing Meng Fei’s words, Chen Xiao waved his hand, unleashing a wave of water energy that cleared away the corpses. Having been there for countless years, they were already in a state of decay. Upon contact with the water energy, they turned into dust and disappeared.
“The Dragon Palace’s secrets… It seems there are no treasures here,” Chen Xiao said, shaking his head as he looked at the now-empty hall.
“No, the Dragon Palace holds countless treasures. The secrets within my Dragon Palace are even richer than those of some gods,” Fu Yun said, closing his eyes and sensing briefly before continuing, “It seems the Dragon Palace has been used for some ritual by others. I can no longer sense the various arrays and restrictions here.”
Chen Xiao curled his lips. He had expected this. But upon arriving here, the feeling that summoned his blood had disappeared. He had thought that by coming here, he might be able to control more things, only to find that wasn’t the case.
Apart from the four large arrays outside the main gate that he still controlled, he sensed nothing else.
“Strange. I thought I would sense that summoning force more clearly upon arriving here, but now I’ve lost all sensation of it.”
Chen Xiao frowned and then walked deeper into the hall.
It seemed to be a series of separate spaces. Leaving the hall led to a narrow corridor, with the vast starry sky visible on both sides.

“This place doesn’t seem to be the Heavenly Dragon Palace anymore,” Fu Yun suddenly said. “The Heavenly Dragon Palace wasn’t like this before.”
Chen Xiao didn’t say anything. If the Heavenly Dragon Palace still retained its original appearance, then the person who hid this secret here must be a fool.
Suddenly, a glimmer of golden light appeared ahead—this was the end of the corridor. What appeared before Chen Xiao and the others was another grand hall.
This hall was identical to the previous one, except that in the center of it lay a corpse.
A gigantic golden corpse, thousands of meters tall, resembling a mountain. Its entire body was covered in golden scales; it had strong limbs, a massive golden tail that hung limp, and pair of drooping fleshy wings on its back. From its head, two golden horns, dozens of meters long, pierced the sky.
But its eyes were missing—its eyelids were deeply sunken, clearly indicating that its eyes had been gouged out.
A dragon.
The golden dragon from Western myths.
This Western dragon must have been an extremely powerful deity in life. Even after countless years of death, its corpse still exuded a faint divine aura.
Right in front of its forehead was a terrifyingly large hole, as if something had been taken out from there.
“What’s your race?” Chen Xiao turned to ask Fu Yun.
Fu Yun was stunned. “Young master, this guy is so ugly. How could you associate him with me?”
Fu Yun looked extremely frustrated. By now, Chen Xiao could see Fu Yun’s face clearly—his features were extremely handsome, full of vitality. In the secular world, countless girls would surely be captivated by him.
But sadly, he had an abnormal preference—he liked men.
Chen Xiao nodded. It seemed the Heavenly Dragon clan mentioned by Fu Yun wasn’t the Western dragon.
“Since it’s not your race, then I won’t be polite.”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and his mental energy instantly covered this huge body, bringing it into the Main God’s space to be dealt with by Shui Miao.
Chen Xiao didn’t have the strength to absorb a deity’s corpse at the moment.
As Chen Xiao and Fu Yun were about to head to the next hall, they found that the corridor leading there was sealed, covered by a blood-red light barrier that made it impossible to pass through.
As they got closer, the summoning urge arose again, making their blood surge. But within the Main God’s essence, blue light flashed, suppressing the blood and restoring order.
“The Heavenly Dragon secret has not been unearthed yet. I was able to come here because of this urge. It seems that although it allowed me to reach here, it’s still no match for the seal here.”
Chen Xiao shook his head. Since he couldn’t get in, there was no need to proceed. After all, the secret would be unearthed soon, and it would be fine to explore it then. Moreover, Chen Xiao’s cultivation was about to break through to the sixth level, and he was eager to enter seclusion.
Chen Xiao and Fu Yun didn’t leave right away. They carefully inspected the hall and, finding no treasures, left and returned to the previous hall.
“Waaah!”

As soon as the two arrived in this grand hall, they immediately saw a sea of blood-red evil spirits sweeping in from all directions.
“What’s going on? There weren’t any of these things just now,” Chen Xiao was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
“Evil spirits?” Fu Yun was also surprised. With a wave of his hand, an invisible wave of energy radiated from him. In just an instant, before Chen Xiao could react, all those blood-red evil spirits fell to the ground, dead beyond death.
Chen Xiao instinctively looked up, and his entire body was covered in goosebumps. Above the ceiling of the grand hall, countless blood-red evil spirits gathered, staring down at them with murderous intent in their eyes. But when they saw hundreds of their companions killed in the blink of an eye by Fu Yun, they dared not make any rash moves.
Chen Xiao frowned slightly. He suddenly realized that the appearance of these blood-red evil spirits was extremely similar to those corpses he had just cleared away.
Fu Yun waved his hand, gathering all the corpses of these evil spirits.
“Hm? What’s the use of these?” Chen Xiao was puzzled.
“Hehe, young master, in our Tianlong Palace, we have a secret technique that can turn the corpses of these undead into puppets. Although their rank isn’t very high, they make excellent cannon fodder,” Fu Yun said with a grin.
Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. He immediately remembered the tens of thousands of blood-red evil spirit corpses in the Thousand Souls Realm that he hadn’t had time to deal with yet.
“Good thing I ordered Wan Hu to collect their corpses to enhance the power of my Death Water. It seems they have another use now.”
Chen Xiao looked at Fu Yun with satisfaction. It seemed this guy was nothing short of an armory.
“Kill all those up there, collect their corpses, and then let’s leave,” Chen Xiao ordered immediately.
“Understood.”
A smile appeared on Fu Yun’s face. He leaped upward, breaking through the three layers of barriers to reach the top of the hall. He enveloped those evil spirits, whose rank was only at level seven, and with a slight effort, erased them completely. Then, before the corpses could fall, Fu Yun gathered them all.
At the entrance of the grand hall was the golden giant door. Before leaving, Chen Xiao reached out and took out a green ring, handing it to Fu Yun.
“A ring to hide spiritual energy?” Fu Yun looked at Chen Xiao curiously. He didn’t understand what Chen Xiao meant, but still put it on his index finger.
The two stepped out of the door and followed the passage back to the entrance.
“It seems these divine beasts’ eyes were obtained from those that died in Tianlong Palace. Using what’s available locally…” Chen Xiao glanced at the wall before leaping into the sea.
“Don’t move,” Chen Xiao said to Fu Yun. Then a black light enveloped their bodies, and they disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were in the Thousand Souls Realm. Not wanting to waste time, Chen Xiao immediately activated the teleportation array on his ability card, opening a spatial gate to the Thousand Souls Realm.

As Fuyun and Chen Xiao appeared here, the two Ye Dragons, who had been leisurely before, suddenly became alert. They leaped out of the water at once, trembling all over as they let out low growls. Although Fuyun’s power was hidden by the Qingling Ring, his true form was that of a white dragon, and the aura of such a powerful beast was immediately detected by the two Ye Dragons. “Roar!” The two Ye Dragons stepped back slightly, watching Fuyun warily. “Two little guys of the ninth rank, you want to play with me too?” A smile appeared on Fuyun’s face as he clenched his fists slightly, producing a cracking sound. “If you dare to touch a single hair of theirs, I’ll make sure you can never play with men again from today on.” Chen Xiao’s cold laughter rang out. …
