#2292 - What's so surprising?

Inside the ancient tomb, Jun Wuxie warily surveyed his surroundings.

This was a dilapidated grand hall, filled with many collapsed stone pillars covered in spiderwebs.

Numerous spiderwebs had formed thick cocoons the size of washbasins, hanging from broken pillars, scattered on the ground, or clinging to the dust-laden walls of the hall.

A dangerous aura permeated the grand hall, emanating from within those cocoons.

Inside the cocoons, strong life force pulsated rhythmically, like a beating heart.

Jun Wuxie remained near the tomb entrance, not venturing further.

He dispelled his world domain, sat down with Chu Yudie in his arms, and gazed at the two shocking bloody holes in her abdomen and chest, from which a large amount of blood flowed, dyeing her icy blue palace dress crimson.

Chu Yudie weakly reached out, channeling her law-infused true energy towards the wounds from a distance of three inches, but to no avail.

The wounds were tainted with the power of the undead, preventing them from healing.

The undead's realm was far too high compared to hers.

The gap between the Reincarnation Eternal God Realm and the Eternal God Realm was immense.

Every moment, she could feel her life essence constantly draining away, the flame of her life nearing its end.

"Since Monarch God was unwilling to marry me, now he can finally have his wish.

This way, neither of us will have to be troubled…"

"It's come to this and you're still saying such things? I'll take you to a safe place to heal."

Jun Wuxie immediately carried Chu Yudie into the Eight-Nine Profound Palace.

"This is… what place is this?"

Seeing the sudden change of scenery, arriving in a world with beautiful landscapes and a wonderful environment, Chu Yudie couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.

"You still have the mind to care about what place this is right now?

I need to heal you, which means I have to take off your clothes."

Jun Wuxie looked at her icy blue dress, which was stained with a strong undead power.

Chu Yudie was already very weak, and refining the undead power on her wounds would take a lot of energy, so continuing to wear the dress imbued with undead power was definitely not an option.

"Don't!"

Hearing him say that, Chu Yudie immediately panicked.

"Do you not want to live anymore?"

Jun Wuxie knew that this was indeed difficult for her to accept, but it was necessary now.

Unless he used the Dao Fruit of his past life.

Although this ancient tomb was terrifying, the cause of this result was just a Reincarnation Undead.

Using the power of the Wudao Domain to erase the undead power of a God Realm Reincarnation Undead was a very unwise act, and might disrupt karma and fate.

This was not like the Wind Snow Royal Family's forbidden area, the situation was completely different.

The Folding Yin Curse in that forbidden area came from a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert tainted by the abyss plague.

"No, you can't take off my dress, absolutely not!"

As Chu Yudie spoke, she saw Jun Wuxie reaching out his hand, and she hurriedly struggled, exclaiming in alarm: "No, no, no…"

With the sound of tearing silk, Chu Yudie let out a scream filled with shame and anger, her voice trembling and tearful.

The clothes on her chest and abdomen were all torn open, her entire upper body completely exposed to the air.

Jun Wuxie stripped her of all her clothes in a few swift movements, leaving her completely bare, without a single piece of fabric remaining.

Chu Yudie covered her eyes, her body trembling slightly.

Her face, ears, neck, and even collarbones were flushed crimson, and her legs were tightly crossed together, trying to conceal her most intimate areas as much as possible.

"Her Majesty's body is still very beautiful, untouched by dust, as white as jade, without a single hair."

Jun Wuxie commented calmly, making Chu Yudie, who was covering her face with her hands in shame, let out a soft sob, and the skin of her entire body turned pink.

"I… I will definitely kill you!"

Chu Yudie's tearful voice carried an unspeakable shame and coldness.

"That will have to wait until you're better."

Jun Wuxie looked at the wounds in the center of her abdomen and chest.

The flesh where she had been pierced by the undead war spear had turned light gray, completely devoid of life.

The flesh around the wound was also constantly losing vitality.

"Now, I will infuse you with life essence, to sustain your body and enhance your life force.

Take this opportunity to forcibly pull out the undead power from your body."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he scooped up her legs and shoulders, carried her into his arms, his life essence boiling within him, especially the Nine Yang Essence of his Innate Sacred Body, constantly releasing into his blood essence, evenly infusing it into her body through extensive physical contact.

At the same time, he extracted two drops of life blood essence from his body and dripped them into her wounds.

"Quickly refine my life blood essence, expel the undead power!"

Jun Wuxie reminded Chu Yudie, who was still only concerned with shame at this time, extending his palms near her wounds, three inches away, and the deliberately condensed essence energy fell down, constantly pouring into her wounds.

Chu Yudie felt the vigorous life essence entering her body, as well as the two incomparably precious drops of blood essence, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

This man had only extracted five drops of blood essence a few days ago to save the royal family's foundation experts.

Today, he had extracted two more drops of blood essence for her sake.

Suddenly, Chu Yudie's mood became complicated.

Did she hate him?

Did she hate him for forcibly stripping her bare?

In fact, she didn't hate him, she just couldn't accept that her innocence was gone just like that, her body presented to him without reservation, seen through by him.

But she knew that he was doing it to save her life.

It was just that this man also had hateful aspects, such as his comments about her just now.

She was so ashamed that she wanted to bang her head and die, but he actually commented on her body in front of her.

"What are you still thinking about?"

Seeing that Chu Yudie didn't move, Jun Wuxie moved her hand covering her face away and said in a deep voice, "Do you really not want to live anymore?"

Chu Yudie felt ashamed and covered her face because she didn't want to see anyone, but when he moved her hand away like that, anger rose in her heart, and she was about to speak, but she saw that his face was pale, his face was anxious, and his eyes were still angry.

All the words instantly stuck in her throat.

She hurriedly calmed her mind, forcibly calmed herself down, and began to refine the life blood essence he gave her.

At this time, with his life essence infused, the flame of her life had recovered to an extremely vigorous level, even more vigorous than the flame of her life in its peak state.

She immediately refined the life blood essence while controlling the power in her body to surge from her limbs to the two wounds, refining the undead power little by little.

Without having to consider life essence, without having to consider anything else, all the power was used to expel and refine the undead power.

This made the effect much better than before.

Although progress was slow, at least the undead power could be slowly resolved, it was only a matter of time.

Chu Yudie had already entered the state, closed her eyes, and focused on healing, so much so that she forgot the passage of time.

For several days in a row.

Chu Yudie's wound finally turned from light gray to bright red.

The power of the undead had been completely resolved, and the wound was healing rapidly.

Her spirit, energy, and essence had also recovered to a state close to its peak in these few days.

When she felt that her injury had been completely repaired, Chu Yudie remembered that she was still lying naked in Jun Wuxie's arms.

A strong sense of shame rose to her heart again.

She suddenly opened her eyes and pushed Jun Wuxie away.

She flipped in the air, stood firmly, but saw that Jun Wuxie flew straight out and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Yudie was stunned, a Wind Snow Sword was sacrificed, and her figure flashed to Jun Wuxie's side, the tip of the sword directly approaching his neck.

"Get up, don't pretend!"

She was incomparably ashamed and angry, and the Wind Snow Divine Sword in her hand was trembling.

Jun Wuxie turned his side lying body over, slowly sat up, and looked at her with indifferent eyes.

Chu Yudie, whose face was full of coldness and whose eyes contained murderous intent, trembled suddenly.

"You… what's wrong with you?"

She looked at Jun Wuxie, his face pale, without a trace of blood, his eye sockets and cheeks deeply sunken, his whole person incomparably weak, he had long lost his former heroic appearance.

Jun Wuxie ignored her, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.

The anger in Chu Yudie's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and the Wind Snow Divine Sword fell to the ground with a clang.

"I'm sorry."

A little bit of water mist filled Chu Yudie's cold eyes, and her heart was filled with guilt.

She didn't react for a moment just now.

At this time, how could she not know that this man must have become like this because he had saved her, and his life blood essence and origin essence were overdrawn.

With his heaven-defying physique, vigorous life essence like a dragon, and super recovery ability, he was like this.

It could be seen how much life essence he had transported to himself.

How long did it take for her to heal?

She didn't know, she was too invested, so she neglected to feel the passage of time.

During this period, he was constantly transporting life essence to himself?

Chu Yudie guarded him by his side, watching the originally full flesh on his body, which now looked a lot shriveled, and the whole person's body shape was a circle smaller, and her heart was inexplicably self-blaming.

As time passed, the flesh on Jun Wuxie's body gradually became full, his face also recovered blood, and his spirit, energy, and essence were much better.

Two days later, the life essence in his body was already extremely vigorous, and he had returned to his peak state.

It was just that the consumed origin blood essence could not be recovered so quickly for the time being.

The two drops given to Chu Yudie were already the limit he could bear at present.

After all, he had only given Chu Moli and them five drops not long ago.

Including this time, he had consumed a total of seven drops of origin blood essence.

The more blood essence consumed, the slower the recovery.

It will take some time to recover to the previous state.

However, losing these blood essences will not affect him or reduce his combat power.

It would only have an impact if he lost more blood essence.

Opening his eyes, he saw Chu Yudie watching him attentively by his side.

"You… are you alright now?"

Jun Wuxie nodded, not saying much.

"Thank you for saving me. I didn't do it on purpose back then…"

"There's no need to thank me. After all, you were injured while blocking the bone spear for me.

Although I didn't need you to do that, I still have the responsibility to save you.

You are the Empress of the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom, with outstanding talent, and will be a major force against the dark powerhouses in the future."

"Can you please stop mentioning the doomsday torrent every time?"

Chu Yudie felt inexplicably agitated.

Immediately realizing that her emotions were not right, she quickly regained her composure and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure again."

Jun Wuxie stood up and said, "Remember, inside the ancient tomb, don't be a hero when you encounter dangers you can't handle, and don't block for me.

Those dangers can't hurt me."

"Alright."

Chu Yudie didn't argue further.

Indeed, with his abilities, he could ensure his own safety.

It was just that the situation was critical at the time, and she didn't think so much.

She only thought that he had done a great favor to the royal family and couldn't let him be in danger, but she forgot that he was the reincarnation of a strong person.

…

They came out of the Eight-Nine Profound Hall and appeared in the main hall of the tomb.

The environment here was very gloomy, and the entire hall was filled with a faint green light.

On the stone walls of the main hall, lamps could be seen at intervals.

The lights were very small, only the size of a thumb, and the flames were light green, which looked very strange.

"There are things inside those cocoons."

Chu Yudie was seriously injured some time ago and had no time to observe the main hall.

Jun Wuxie walked towards the depths of the main hall.

There was a tightly closed stone door leading to other parts of the tomb.

As soon as they walked to the center of the main hall, all the cocoons in the hall trembled.

Immediately, a cracking sound of cocoons rang out.

From the cocoons all over the hall, one after another earth-brown worms crawled out, each as big as a head, covered with strange patterns.

They resembled crustaceans, but had very ferocious mouths filled with sharp serrations, and two large, very sharp feet that gleamed with a green light.

As soon as these worms crawled out, they immediately made a clicking sound, and then surged in like a tide from all directions.

"Corpse Devouring Worms."

Chu Yudie casually swept a wave of wind and snow energy across.

The entire hall was instantly frozen.

The Corpse Devouring Worms were frozen stiff, their bodies covered in ice.

But the next moment, the ice layer shattered, and the dense mass of Corpse Devouring Worms continued to rush over.

Chu Yudie unleashed a hurricane, sweeping across all directions.

All the Corpse Devouring Worms were swept up by the hurricane and strangled by the power of the wind in the air.

The bodies of the Corpse Devouring Worms shattered, but no liquid flowed out; instead, they turned into pieces of sand.

The moment the sand landed, it quickly reorganized and turned into Corpse Devouring Worms again.

"Don't use the power of wind and snow; it won't kill them."

Jun Wuxie saw through the trick, "These are not ordinary Corpse Devouring Worms in the usual sense, but are blessed by the special laws of the tomb and are of the earth attribute.

Wood overcomes earth, so you need to use the wood attribute to deal with them."

Chu Yudie was stunned. She could evolve the power of fire because everyone has the fire of life, but if she evolved the power of wood, it would not have much power, and she didn't know if it could deal with these Corpse Devouring Worms.

Before she could try, Jun Wuxie flicked his finger, and a green sword wave swept out.

In an instant, the entire hall presented an illusion of a vast forest.

All the Corpse Devouring Worms screamed as they were hit by the wood-attribute sword energy, and their bodies exploded.

This time, the Corpse Devouring Worms did not turn into sand, but directly exploded into a pool of pus.

"Jun Shen, how did you also cultivate the power of wood, and so pure!"

Chu Yudie was quite surprised.

Jun Wuxie was a body cultivator, so how could he have so many attribute powers in his body?

Like the Nine Yang True Fire, and now this terrifying power of wood.

That power of wood exuded an ancient aura, as if he had the ancient blood of wood.

In fact, he didn't, so how could he possess this power?

Can a body cultivator simultaneously cultivate multiple attributes in his body?

"What's so surprising about that?"

Jun Wuxie didn't say much and walked towards the stone door in the depths of the hall.

In front of the stone door was a stone coffin.

The stone coffin looked very ordinary, shaped like a rectangular stone trough with a lid.

As they gradually approached the stone coffin, a sound came from inside the stone coffin.

The entire stone coffin began to tremble.

Strands of black and red Yin energy overflowed from the seams of the coffin lid, condensing into a black and red Yin cloud above the stone coffin, and a strong baleful aura permeated the air.

With a boom.

The coffin lid was suddenly blown away.

A tall figure rushed out, with a head of withered gray hair in a mess, wearing a black metal mask on his face, covered in black armor, and holding a battle halberd covered in metal rust.

"Not a high realm."

Chu Yudie didn't take that thing seriously and pointed out with one finger.

A wind and snow finger beam pierced through the sky and struck that thing, splashing a burst of sparks and transmitting a metal tremor.

That thing was not killed as she had imagined, but stood there unscathed.

The armor on his body lit up with a strange light at the moment of being hit, obliterating all of her attacks.

"How could this be? What kind of armor is this, with such a terrifying effect!"

Chu Yudie was shocked. She was a powerhouse who had touched the threshold of reincarnation, and even against the Eternal God of the previous life, she was confident that she could compete with him.

This thing in front of her, with its not-high realm and weak aura, only around the Supreme God realm, could ignore her attacks with its armor!

Moreover, the battle halberd in that thing's hand lit up with the light of laws, and at this moment, a shocking killing intent surged open.

That killing intent actually gave her a sense of horror!

Clearly, it only seemed to have the strength of a Supreme God, yet it held a weapon that made even a powerhouse like her, who had touched the threshold of reincarnation, feel dangerous!
