The Corpse Emperor Gate mobilizes its forces to attack the Three Immortals Sea, seeking opportunities. Meanwhile, Ye Yun and his companions arrive to explore the mysterious region, encountering strange phenomena and immense, lifeless crows known as Sleepless Crows. The disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate begin a large-scale hunt for these creatures, which Ye Yun suspects are connected to the gate's ambitions.

BOOM BOOM BOOM...

Bronze ancient coffins roamed beneath the raging storm clouds and lightning, moving at an eerie speed, continually attacking the soaring Sleepless Crows.

One Sleepless Crow dodged left and right, trying to escape the clutches of the Corpse Emperor Gate disciples; however, the disciples acted in unison, several against one Sleepless Crow, and some even wielded a black treasure mirror, constantly emitting terrifying black beams.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—

The attacks on the Sleepless Crow increased, weakening its body further. A bronze ancient coffin descended from the sky with a boom, smashing it onto the sea surface.

BOOM—

The waves surged, and the sea roared.

The Sleepless Crow retracted its wings and dove into the seawater.

The disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate were calm, controlling the bronze ancient coffin, which also submerged into the sea to continue the battle with the Sleepless Crow.

As the battle continued, the Sleepless Crow grew weaker, and its resistance waned.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—

From several bronze ancient coffins, thick bronze chains suddenly extended, like fierce snakes out of their holes, coiling around the Sleepless Crow, binding it tightly.

The bronze ancient coffin flew out of the sea, dragging the Sleepless Crow out.

"Haha, finally caught one!"

The disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate laughed wildly, their expressions frenzied.

In the next moment.

Everyone rushed forward like leeches, clinging onto the Sleepless Crow, opening wide mouths, and biting furiously.

The Sleepless Crow bled black blood, which was also devoured by the disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate.

They ate the flesh and drank the blood, sparing not even the bones.

A large Sleepless Crow, under the frenzied devouring of the Corpse Emperor Gate disciples, vanished without even bone fragments left within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

After devouring, these people’s cultivation bases visibly increased rapidly.

Someone originally stuck at half-step to the Divine Emperor Realm, after consuming the Sleepless Crow, broke the barrier and became a First Level of Divine Emperor Realm expert in one leap.

All disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate participated in the capture of the Sleepless Crow.

Including the Head Teacher and the Nineteenth Ancestor.

However, the Nineteenth Ancestor, with such profound cultivation, only dealt with Sleepless Crows with high cultivation.

Usually, they were above the Ninth Level of God Emperor State.

No Sleepless Crow of the God-Emperor Realm had appeared.

Even the Nineteenth Ancestor, after capturing a Sleepless Crow, discarded their gentleness and devoured it madly.

On the Celestial Boat.

Ye Yun and others observed this frantic scene, exchanging glances subconsciously.

"These Sleepless Crows are really meant to be eaten..."

Ye Yun chuckled softly.

About these Sleepless Crows and the so-called opportunity mentioned by the Corpse Emperor Gate, he had completely understood.

"Too crazy."

Leng Youyue shook her head, murmuring to herself, "The Three Immortals Sea has become the possession of the Corpse Emperor Gate, constantly capturing and killing Sleepless Crows. Isn’t this a shortcut for them to upgrade quickly?"

"Yes, that’s why the Corpse Emperor Gate is so strong, and the other major emperor gates dare not provoke them!"

Ye Yun nodded.

"But the other emperor gates must be uninterested in the Sleepless Crow, as the deadly aura is too dense for them, and ordinary cultivators avoid it."

Leng Youyue smiled wryly.

"I’m just waiting for that old guy, the Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor, to come over and see what plans the Corpse Emperor Gate has beyond the Sleepless Crow..."

Ye Yun chuckled lightly.

Then he leaned back on the chair, no longer watching the surrounding scenes, closing his eyes as if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing Ye Yun so at ease, Leng Youyue shook her head, raised her wine glass, and took a gentle sip.

Little Color controlled the Celestial Boat, cautiously following the disciples of the Corpse Emperor Gate. As time passed, they ventured deeper into the Three Immortals Sea.

Three days later.

The Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor had not appeared.

However, most of the Corpse Emperor Gate disciples had stopped capturing Sleepless Crows, as they were now deep within the core of the Three Immortals Sea.

Sleepless Crows were rare here.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

From the distant ocean came the sound of immense thunder.

Some weaker cultivators of the Divine King Realm could not help but cover their ears.

"We’ve arrived, finally at this place once more..."

One of the Nineteenth Ancestor, the old crone wielding a dragon-head staff, laughed.

The enchanting lady nodded, "Now we await the arrival of the Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor!"

Ye Yun heard this and opened his eyes.

His gaze was profound, looking toward the distance.

In the distant ocean, the water churned incessantly, forming an unimaginably giant vortex.

This gigantic vortex spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, its momentum astonishing. The vast Eye of the Vortex appeared black as ink, and an ordinary person looking at it might collapse mentally.

Ye Yun observed quietly for a moment, murmuring softly to himself, "This vortex is a formation..."

"Could this vortex be the same as the Panlong Immortal Steps, entering it leads to ascension?"

Leng Youyue speculated.

"Probably not; the old guy Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor mentioned seeking only longevity, not ascension, in this lifetime."

Ye Yun shook his head.

As they spoke, a brilliant blue light shot from afar, instantly arriving before the Nineteenth Ancestor.

This was a more ancient bronze coffin.

When the Nineteenth Ancestor and the Head Teacher saw this bronze coffin, they immediately showed respectful expressions, bowing to the ground.

"Greetings to the Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor."

Everyone shouted loudly.

"Rise, everyone."

The voice of the Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor sounded from within the bronze ancient coffin.

"A million years ago, our Corpse Emperor Gate marshaled the whole sect’s strength for a major assault on the Three Immortals Sea, nearly breaking through the three vortices, gold, silver, and iron. Now, a million years later, our Corpse Emperor Gate’s strength has reached another level. This time, we will surely break through the vortex and gain Wushang opportunity!"

The Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor said in a deep voice.

"We will follow the Nine Tribulations Emperor Ancestor’s orders!"

The Nineteenth Ancestor and others stood up, their expressions excited.

Hearing the Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor’s words.

...

Ye Yun showed an intrigued expression, smiling, and saying, "Could it be, this massive vortex is only the first-level formation, and within it are the three vortices of gold, silver, and iron?"

"These three vortex names are peculiar indeed, gold, silver, iron—could they be vortices composed of three different metals? That would be strange!"

Leng Youyue shook her head, saying, her eyes showing curiosity.

"Let’s wait and watch; we can enjoy the spectacle first. As for this Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor, we’ll deal with him later..."

Ye Yun said with a smile.

The crowd said no more, observing the activities of the Corpse Emperor Gate in silence.

Twenty celestial boats continued advancing, approaching the gigantic vortex continually.

A hundred miles away from the vortex.

All celestial boats stopped, and everyone collectively attacked the vortex.

For a while,

various intersecting black death lights all fell into the massive vortex.

The gigantic vortex trembled unceasingly, bearing an unimaginable vast power.

This process lasted roughly two hours.

BOOM!

The gigantic vortex could no longer withstand the Corpse Emperor Gate’s relentless bombardment, and it disintegrated with a thunderous crash.

"Let’s move!"

The Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor led, with his true form’s bronze ancient coffin whooshing forward.

Twenty celestial boats followed closely.

Despite the disappearance of the gigantic vortex, the ocean still harbored unimaginable massive residual obstructing force.

Thus, the celestial boats’ speed was not fast, taking an hour before all of them stopped.

A blue light flashed.

The Nine Tribulations Corpse Emperor revealed his true form, the original bronze ancient coffin suspended behind him.
