CHAPTER 1045: CHAPTER 1042: WHITE BONE DHARMA

Boom!

The East Emperor and Emperor Mo landed beside the ancient tomb, causing the nearby Crow Graves to scatter.

Only that relatively powerful Crow Grave remained there.

Ye Xuan landed on the ground with Zhou Youwei, observing the hidden ancient tomb.

Rumble————

However, at this moment, the relatively powerful Crow Grave beside them caused quite a stir.

The Crow Grave trembled, and then the earthen tomb split open to both sides. An old Daoist clad in a purple Daoist robe sat cross-legged inside, exuding an ethereal aura of a Daoist Immortal.

Although his eyes were closed, he had already sensed that soul-stirring aura.

As the old Daoist sat up, the crow atop the tomb suddenly opened its eyes.

A pair of pupils, purple and filled with a cold indifference, sent shivers down one’s spine.

The crow turned its head, looking at Ye Xuan and his group, and spoke coldly, "What brings you all here?"

"Zi Guan." Both the East Emperor and Emperor Mo revealed the origin of the Crow Grave’s owner.

Zi Guan Daoist.

A Great Master of Daoism.

Buried in the Crow Grave in an extremely ancient era.

This was a peerless powerhouse.

The arrival of these people clearly dissatisfied this Daoist Great Master.

However, the East Emperor and Emperor Mo were not afraid of Zi Guan.

"We are naturally here for a reason. You should step aside to avoid accidental harm." The East Emperor spoke coldly.

Zi Guan’s gaze fell lightly on Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, and he spoke mildly, "It’s one thing for you two to have business here, but why involve outsiders in the matters of the Crow Grave?"

The East Emperor looked at Zi Guan, speaking coldly, "Are you questioning me?"

In an instant.

With a ’boom’, a fiery flame burned skyward on the East Emperor, resembling a Golden Crow.

The East Emperor soared into the air, overlooking Zi Guan, powerful and domineering.

In the face of the East Emperor’s aura eruption, Zi Guan showed no fear, instead carrying a faint mockery: "The dignified East Emperor, just a boorish and unreasonable fellow?"

Boom!

Purple energy surged, transforming into a starry river that enveloped Zi Guan.

At this moment, the East Emperor and Zi Guan entered a standoff.

Emperor Mo watched this scene, frowning slightly.

"Suppress him." Ye Xuan didn’t bother looking at Zi Guan and said lightly.

"Alright!" Without a word, the East Emperor directly attacked Zi Guan.

Having been displeased with this guy for some time, and with Emperor Ye giving the command, there was no more to say.

Suppression was all there was to it.

Boom!

Zi Guan seemed surprised that the East Emperor acted so decisively, hastily meeting the attack, but was at a disadvantage.

Zi Guan was somewhat angry: "Unexpectedly, the great East Emperor would follow the orders of a young brat, truly enlightening me!"

Rumble————

With a tremor of his great wings, the purple energy river swept out immediately, intending to suppress the East Emperor.

"Hmph!"

The East Emperor snorted coldly, saying nothing, as limitless golden light burst from his eyes, transforming into overwhelming golden flames, blocking the purple energy river.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan approached the ancient tomb, observing the decaying old crow, judging its identity in life.

The manifestation of the Crow Grave’s crows is based on the host within the Crow Grave.

Like the Ancient Dragon Crow, whose host was the Azure Dragon of the Four Symbols Spirit, hence the name Azure Dragon.

And the Corpse Demon, its host being an old demon of the Corpse Dao, thus it is called the Corpse Demon.

The nearby Zi Guan, its host’s Dao name was Zi Guan Daoist, so it is known as Zi Guan.

Either a nickname related to oneself, one’s true body, or one’s real name.

This is an unchanging rule of eternity.

However, this guy who just contradicted the East Emperor didn’t reveal his origin.

"It’s him..."

After watching for a while, Ye Xuan remembered.

"That’s quite a surprise." Ye Xuan suddenly laughed.

"Who is he?" Emperor Mo asked upon noticing.

"Back in the day, he had a fearsome reputation, called White Bone Dharma." Ye Xuan said with a chuckle, "A guy I personally suppressed here."

"White Bone Dharma!" Emperor Mo’s pupils slightly contracted.

He had heard this name long ago.

It was said that in a certain era, this guy was also the overlord of the Crow Grave.

But over the shifts of time, this guy fell into slumber and then fell silent.

No wonder this guy would hunt down the East Emperor, turns out he’s a ruthless character.

White Bone Dharma, a terrifying existence of the Emperor Era.

He too had entered various ancient lands back then.

And during that time, White Bone Dharma clashed with the Undying Night Emperor and was suppressed within the Crow Grave, ultimately choosing to spend the rest of his days there.

"If it’s this guy, then it’s much easier to handle."

Ye Xuan chuckled, reaching out to grab the old crow sculpture atop the tomb.

The next moment.

Ye Xuan grasped the old crow sculpture and exerted force suddenly.

"Caw————"

The old crow of the ancient tomb suddenly awakened, letting out a crow’s caw.

Seeing Ye Xuan, the old crow was startled, seemingly not expecting to be found so soon.

However, the old crow quickly spoke in anger, "What do you intend?"

Nearby, the battle between the East Emperor and Zi Guan had reached a fever pitch.

Ultimately, Zi Guan was still a bit inferior to the East Emperor, falling to a disadvantage.

Although the fight seemed intense, it wouldn’t be long before he would be suppressed.

"Master!"

Seeing the ancient crow awaken, Zi Guan hastily called out for help.

Just as Ye Xuan had guessed, Zi Guan had already become a subordinate of White Bone Dharma.

Zi Guan’s earlier attack was merely an attempt to divert Ye Xuan and the others’ attention.

However, Zi Guan apparently didn’t realize that Ye Xuan and the others already knew White Bone Dharma’s location.

So Zi Guan’s attempts to distract them were actually in vain.

White Bone Dharma heard Zi Guan’s voice, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. This guy really didn’t understand the current situation?

"Long time no see." Ye Xuan looked at White Bone Dharma and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, White Bone Dharma was taken aback, scrutinizing Ye Xuan.

He didn’t recognize Ye Xuan.

But he was very aware that Ye Xuan was incredibly formidable.

Whether it was the first time retreating him, the second time dispersing countless crows, or the third time instantly obliterating Baishan.

All made White Bone Dharma see this young man in a different light.

Yet Ye Xuan’s current words left White Bone Dharma baffled.

"You are..." White Bone Dharma scrutinized Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained silent, the Emperor Soul moved slightly.

Boom!

In an instant, behind Ye Xuan, an immensely terrifying Emperor’s Shadow abruptly emerged.

That Emperor’s Shadow was rather thin, concealed within the dark, yet it seemed to have controlled eternity within the darkness, carrying a terrifying pressure that suppressed everything in heaven and earth.

White Bone Dharma’s pupils contracted sharply, looking at Ye Xuan in disbelief.

"You are..."

"The Undying Night Emperor!"

At this moment, White Bone Dharma only felt his scalp about to explode.

How could it be!?

Why would it be this monster!
