At this moment, Jiang Chen stood in the midst of a desolate wasteland, letting out a roar that echoed into the sky. Waves of Primal Aura began to converge around him, swirling rapidly as if tearing apart the very fabric of space, completely shrouding his form. Only his eyes, glowing with a dark red light, could faintly discern through the Primeval currents.
In this Embalming Coffin Realm, which resembled the initial emergence of the world akin to Primordial Chaos, the Primal Aura was like an inexhaustible treasure for Jiang Chen. Even if he managed to survive in this relentless grind of heavenly laws, it was only a matter of time before he would be transcended by the Embalmer lineage. Although the human race below appeared somewhat friendly during this Boundary Induction, once he left this place, he would be seen as nothing less than a potent elixir for them—an enemy of life and death! That was a scenario he did not wish to see.
Thus, even when threatened by the Heavenly Sea Dragon and suppressed by the Xuanming Beast's overwhelming power, Wuliao had resolved to fight back. He was dissatisfied with his current existence and yearned for transcendence—to become a Boundary Soul.
Jiang Chen shuddered as his entire body trembled with dark green fur bristling. His crimson eyes emitted a ghostly glow. Wuliao's words did resonate with him to some extent; however, what truly attracted him was not the promise of becoming a Boundary Soul but rather the potential relationship with the Embalmer lineage that could arise from Wuliao's success.
The young man below possessed extraordinary roots—something Jiang Chen had never encountered in his countless years. Even observing those who guarded him, he could sense the young man's standing within the Embalmer lineage. After all, several elders and a middle-aged man clad in an Azure Robe emanated a palpable threat of death in his perception!
If he helped Wuliao become a Boundary Soul, then leveraging that connection might genuinely persuade the Embalmer lineage to agree to his conditions—never to Embalm him! After all, as one of the Primordial Four Corpses, he was already beyond the Five Elements and outside the cycle of reincarnation. In his view, in this world where all races had vanished and only humanity remained supreme, the only danger lay with these Embalmers. If he achieved his desires, he could simply restrain himself from further wrongdoing and exchange it for eternal freedom—a beautiful prospect indeed!
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen finally steeled himself and nodded.
“Alright, I will lend you a hand. But I do not wish to become a Boundary Soul; I want you to facilitate my connections and ensure that the Embalmer lineage will never Embalm me. Of course, I won’t make it too difficult for you—I will swear an oath to cease all malevolence from this day forth.”
“Hahaha! What could be difficult about that? Senior Jiang Chen, today let us experience together just how powerful this ancient divine beast is that is said to have the Four Spirit Bloodline flowing through its veins!”
With Jiang Chen’s assurance, Wuliao felt emboldened and without hesitation, they both rushed into the Embalming Coffin Realm.
As for the Countless Lost Souls below in the forest, along with the Ancient Rock Beast and Flame Sparrow Phantom, they struggled internally but ultimately dared not step into that realm. Their levels and strengths were simply too far apart from those four! The chasm between them felt insurmountable...
On the illusory wasteland above, the Xuanming Beast leaned against the sea and stood upon the earth. Waves of dark yellow energy and deep blue light continuously emanated from around it and merged into its body. Its form began to expand at a visibly frantic pace until it quickly surpassed one hundred meters! The Xuanming Beast wielded powers of earth and water; such terrain only amplified its strength immensely.
