Overriding the Heaven

A weak cough entered his ears.    

In addition to the stooped figure that was slowly sitting up, if one were to ignore the current environment, it was very easy to make people feel as if they were looking at an old uncle that had caught a cold next door.    

But in fact, when they saw the figure sitting up, they could only feel a chill run down their spines.    

The corpse within the coffin came to life and slowly sat up in front of the crowd.    

After entering the Three Saint Mountain this time, they had no idea how many zombies they had encountered.    

The zombies were all shriveled up, and their skin was a disgusting crimson color. If their bodies were torn or cut off, they would become even more hideous and sinister.    

Logically speaking, after seeing such a terrifying scene, seeing the resurrection of a zombie shouldn't cause any sort of reaction from the crowd.    

However, the problem was that as the zombie sat up, the expression on everyone's faces changed.    

To put it more accurately, it was like layers of whiteness.    

Even Xiao Tangtang and the Golden Armored Bloodblade Leopard, who had a fur around their necks, started to explode. Their eyes revealed fear as they bent over and growled at the figure on the coffin.    

Amongst the crowd, only Chu Yan's brows slowly furrowed.    

He turned his head with some doubt to look at the statue behind him. Then, he saw that he had already stood up and was facing the group as he sat on the coffin. He was still coughing non-stop and his frown deepened.    

If the person crawling out of the coffin was the Emperor that the Imperial Advisor had spoken of, then wouldn't there be a huge difference when compared to the tall statue?    

Could it be that this zombie that crawled out of the coffin wasn't an emperor?    

This was because the statue was tall and sturdy. Although it was just a stone statue, the domineering aura that looked down on the world almost caused space to explode.    

Standing in front of the statue, he could clearly feel the terrifying aura that was like a mountain crushing down on him.    

When an ordinary person stood in front of this statue, not to mention raising his head to look at it, even if his legs stood upright, it would be impossible for him to do so. He could only kneel on the ground, shivering.    

As for the figure that crawled out of the coffin, it gave off the impression of a skinny, sickly, dying phthisis.    

The series of coughs seemed to be constantly reminding everyone, "I am seriously ill, I am extremely weak. I won't be able to live much longer."    

Furthermore, its frail body also made people feel as if it couldn't withstand a single blow. Even a gust of wind could blow it down.    

All the zombies before gave off a feeling of invincibility, and even if their bodies were cut open, as long as the cadaveric nucleus was around, it would continue to pose a threat to others. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were immortal and indestructible.    

However, once they got out of the coffins, they began to cough. It was truly a zombie that they had never heard of before.    

Thinking about that, Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat.    

At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.    

"Coughing Zombies... But the zombie's body was extremely tough … "As strong as steel …"    

At the same time, the words of the State Grandmaster resounded once again in Chu Yan's mind.    

"His Majesty is about to wake up …"    

"Your intrusion will disturb his Majesty's rest …"    

"I don't wish for His Majesty to see outsiders when he wakes up …"    

The Imperial Advisor had never mentioned the emperor's death appearing as a zombie. What he had always said was, "Awaken!"    

A zombie, on the other hand, was an existence between life and death, an existence that the heavens and earth could not tolerate.    

How could such an existence even carry the pain of living!    

An astonishing answer appeared in Chu Yan's mind.    

Although he felt that this possibility was inconceivable, if he were to put everything else aside, this was the only possible answer!    

Even if it was Chu Yan, at this moment, in front of this conjecture, in front of this answer, he could not help but feel his heart palpitate, his eyes filled with shock.    

He raised his head and looked at the thin and small figure that was already sitting on the coffin.    

At this time, the figure also seemed to feel that Chu Yan's gaze was different from the rest.    

His lowered head also raised up at this moment, and then, he looked towards Chu Yan.    

Separated by a distance of over a hundred zhang, the two looked at each other.    

In that moment, an old face that looked like it was surrounded by ravines, stared at the huge bags in the eyes, and with drooping cheeks, appeared in front of Chu Yan.    

His nostrils flared and his chest heaved.    

What crawled out of the coffin was not a zombie, but a living person!    

After confirming this point, Chu Yan simply could not believe his own eyes.    

At that moment, he felt his scalp go numb. A wave of energy rose from his dantian and rushed towards his chest, wanting to rush out of his throat and make a sound. However, this wave of energy was forcibly stuck in his throat at this moment.    

This was a living person.    

This was a living person who had lived for more than 20,000 years!    

How was this possible!    

When Genuine Force Stage was raised to Pulse Condensation Stage, the user's lifespan would increase by sixty years.    

When Pulse Condensation Stage was raised to Earth Origin Stage, blood and vitality would converge and one's lifespan would increase by another sixty years.    

From Earth Origin Stage to celestial mood stage, one's lifespan could similarly increase by sixty years.    

Even if Violet Palace Stage or even true fairyland could increase one's lifespan by several hundred years after that, at most, they would only have a lifespan of a thousand years!    

The lifespan of a thousand years, in the face of 20,000 years, what was it?    

Not to mention his younger brother, it could only be said that he was a baby.    

The lifespan of a True Immortal in Heaven's Edge Sect didn't even exceed a thousand years, but the stooped old man who emitted a rotten aura was very likely to be a cultivator who had exceeded the lifespan of ten thousand years.    

"How could this …" Chu Yan slowly spat out these two words from his mouth.    

The people around him heard his voice and couldn't help but to turn their heads.    

"Chu Yan, what did you say?" Jiang Panmeng asked.    

"He …" Chu Yan raised his hand and pointed at the old man on top of the coffin.    

He wanted to share his speculations.    

However, it was at this point that the old man on the coffin spoke first.    

"You are here to stop This Emperor from waking up."    

His voice was hoarse, as if he was opening a rotten wooden box that had been sealed for a long time.    

However, the unique dignity of a person in power instantly proved his identity to everyone.    

As he spoke, the darkness surrounding the palace seemed to grow thicker and thicker as it pressed down towards the crowd.    

The atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy.    

"This old zombie is indeed the emperor!" Su Jianyuan's breathing stagnated. Previously, he almost died at the hands of the opposite party, but now that he had reacted, he was shocked and angry at the same time.    

"You think I'm a zombie?" The wrinkles on the old face left only two pea-shaped eyes, filled with mockery and contempt.    

Su Jianyuan originally wanted to say something, but after being looked at by the elder's strange gaze, for some reason, he felt as if his internal organs had turned cold. When the words reached his mouth, he was actually unable to say anything for a moment.    

"Phew —" Seeing that everyone had quieted down once more, the old man covered his mouth and coughed twice. "Since you two have appeared here, it means that Qiong Fei and Imperial Advisor have both died."
