Chapter 662: Last Generation’s Goddess (1/2)

The underground palace has been frozen for ten thousand years with a beauty inside. Her body didn’t decay and her flesh had a vibrant shade. One could still see each of her eyebrows.

A period of ten thousand years was truly long - more than enough to grind away any regular cultivator, more than ample to destroy an eternal kingdom, more than sufficient for an ocean to turn into a mulberry field, more than plenty for generations of heroes to appear.

These years accumulated on the river of time flowing towards the unknown.

Even an Enlightened Being at the Nirvana realm couldn’t live more than ten thousand years. In fact, many experts at the Heaven’s Ascension realm couldn’t do so either. They eventually failed to withstand the test of time and returned to the earth.

Alas, this woman still looked like a goddess, seemingly able to open her eyes and break through the ice to get out at a moment’s notice.

Unfortunately, life in her had ended long ago back during her own generation. The perfect condition of her corpse was because the ice here was colder than the ice essences outside.

Feiyun wielding the three evil Buddhist treasures glanced at the woman for a split second before issuing a long roar.

The three treasures attacked the ice layer above the woman’s head at the same time, resulting in a deafening explosion.

The tough ice layer here was thicker than five meters. These treasures failed to break through.

“Die! Die! Die!” Terrible screams came from Feiyun. If one were attentive enough, they would notice that the screams came from his spine, not his mouth.

These three were all fifth-ranked spirit treasures with enough power to annihilate an entire domain. The continuous onslaught finally left a crack in the ice layer. As the assault continued, this crack became increasingly larger.

Feiyun’s eyes seemed to be burning with a divine flame as he glares at the woman. He issued a chilling command and the waves of attack intensified.

His forty divine intents have been pushed to a corner by a plume of black energy. It took over Feiyun’s body while carrying great bloodthirst and desire.

‘There is really a soul hidden in the spine, it took over me now.’ Feiyun could see, hear, and even feel everything. The only thing he couldn’t do was control his own body.

Plenty of nerves gathered at the spine so one could control the four limbs, the integument, and internal organs. Feiyun’s spine was being controlled by Yama’s spine right now, so there was nothing he could do. Moreover, a black plume of energy was beginning to invade his brain.

‘Why did it wake up? And so irritable too. And why do those three Buddhist treasures obey Yama as if he was their master?’ Feiyun thought of a possibility.

‘Could it be that Yama was the one who ended the golden age of Buddhism? Then his blood would be on those weapons. The strand of soul hidden in the spine felt the presence of the weapons that have pierced through him before and woke up?

This thought frightened Feiyun but it was the most plausible explanation.

However, there were some holes. For example, Yama’s corpse was taken out from a Heaven’s Ascension tomb in Grand Southern by the ancestors of Violetsea Corpse Cave. On the other hand, these weapons were located in Endless Land. These two locations were extremely far apart.

Moreover, who was this woman? Yama was hellbent on killing her. It seemed that great animosity existed between these two.

“Die!” Yama continued to use Feiyun’s body to control the three treasures.

The explosions were louder than mountains collapsing. The entire spatial area was shaking.

Feiyun carefully looked at the woman. Yes, she had no life force left but still had auspicious clouds around her. There was clearly a divine tree growing in there.

Feiyun had seen the tree inside Luo Yu’er before. It was identical to this one.

“So she’s the goddess from the previous generation?” He recalled the old tablet carved by the previous goddess depicting the disaster long ago.

If the woman trapped in ice was indeed a witchcraft goddess, all of this would be explained.

She must have been a supreme cultivator who fought alongside the three monks against Yama. That battle must have been incredible but ended with the decline of Buddhism. Virtually all Buddhist sects were destroyed. These four eventually fell too.

The tree inside her was still alive, teetering on the edge. Because of this, Luo Yu’er couldn’t wake up her own tree since two divine witchcraft trees wouldn’t appear in the same generation.
