Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Control

Only a grand and affluent place like the Zixiao Dojo could afford such a treasure. If it were a lone ancient celestial cultivator, they would undoubtedly guard such an artifact with utmost care.

Indeed, the temptation of the ancient celestial artifact was too great, and three to five people stepped forward to rush in.

Just lifting the woman\'s hood would earn an ancient celestial artifact?

With the initial three to five people taking the lead, many other forces hurried forward as well. The relics of Nuwa were like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, elusive and distant, but the ancient celestial artifact was right before their eyes.

They charged straight in, heading directly towards Magu.

However, the moment they stepped into the life array, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, a figure that looked exactly like themselves.

Did everyone who entered the life array have a duplicate?

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A fierce battle erupted instantly, each person fighting against their own duplicate.

This part of the sea quickly descended into chaos, with sword energy and blade energy filling the air, creating a dazzling display of lights. Corpses began to fall slowly.

Magu sat calmly at the center of the sea, still composed and unperturbed.

"Damn these destiny manipulators! How can we fight like this? Whoever enters gets duplicated!" Su Afo exclaimed with jealousy.

"Ancient celestial artifacts aren\'t so easily obtained. But I\'m more curious about what Magu\'s face looks like to drive Cheng Baiyi to such madness!" Princess Jiuwei frowned.

Zhong Shan furrowed his brow. Through Hongluan\'s clairvoyance, he had already seen Magu\'s face, but it was now completely disfigured. Why would she disfigure herself?

Did she not want to be recognized? If she didn\'t want to be recognized, she could have reshaped her face; cultivators could easily do that. But Magu didn\'t. Was it intentional?

Cheng Baiyi\'s frenzied desire to see her face suggested that her fame must have been immense before she disfigured herself. Who was she?

The battle continued, with participants increasing from just Cheng Baiyi to over a hundred thousand, each facing a duplicate of themselves.

The sun slowly rose, nearing noon. As the time approached, Princess Jiuwei grew anxious.

"Magu has been sitting in that spot the whole time. There must be something strange about it. It\'s almost noon, we can\'t miss this opportunity!" Princess Jiuwei said urgently.

Zhong Shan gave Magu a deep look and then asked Hong Xiao, "General Hong Xiao, according to past records, has anyone else come here on the seventh of June?"

"No, not every year, but at least in the records, this is the first time someone has guarded this place on the seventh of June, and it\'s also Magu\'s first time here," Hong Xiao nodded.

"Well, it seems Magu has calculated something, which is why she came here on the seventh of June this year. Her goal isn\'t to collect Nuwa\'s relics, but to prevent others from obtaining them! Why? Could it be..." Zhong Shan frowned.

"Could it be what?" Su Afo asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that she foresaw a change in Nuwa\'s relics today and came specifically to prevent it single-handedly?" Zhong Shan took a deep breath.

"A change in Nuwa\'s relics? Then we definitely can\'t give up now. We must push her aside quickly," Princess Jiuwei said anxiously.

"Retreat? How can we retreat? With the emergence of this life array, it\'s invincible!" Su Afo said helplessly.

"Every technique and divine power has a way to be broken. The Life Mirror Technique is certainly not invincible. Don\'t worry, someone will break it," Zhong Shan said confidently.

As he spoke, Zhong Shan nodded, as if giving a signal to someone in the distance.

In the distance, Mr. Corpse, who had remained still until now, nodded upon receiving the signal from Zhong Shan. He reached out and took out a bell.

"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ Clang~!"

The clear, crisp sound of the bell echoed in all directions. Almost everyone felt a slight heaviness in their hearts.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly, numerous pale corpses floated up from the sea around Mr. Corpse. The corpses emerged from the water and eerily hovered in midair, their eyes devoid of pupils, lacking any sign of life, only exuding a thick aura of death.

Many people watching this scene twitched with discomfort.

"Dead? Dead people?" Su Afo exclaimed in shock.

"Not quite," Hong Xiao said, raising an eyebrow.

"What\'s not right?" Su Afo asked, puzzled.

"These dead people are those who died months ago while fighting for the Five-Colored Divine Stones. I recognize that man in red; he was on the periphery during the chaotic Blood Sea Star Sacrifice Formation and disappeared afterward. His soul was taken by the Blood Sea, but his body is being controlled by this man in black?" Hong Xiao said in shock.

"Controlling corpses?" Su Afo frowned.

"In the underworld, it\'s common for high-level zombies to control lower-level ones, but this is the first time I\'ve seen a living person control corpses," Hong Xiao said, frowning.

Nearly ten thousand celestial corpses stepped into the life array. The life array, however, did not react at all. There were no duplicates conjured by the Life Mirror Technique. Clearly, there is no perfect formation; every formation has its flaws.

As the dense aura of death spread, nearly ten thousand corpses approached, and Magu finally stood up, seemingly becoming serious.

"Corpse control?" Magu said with a hint of surprise.

"I have no intention of making things difficult for you, Senior. Please step back," Mr. Corpse said in a deep voice from a distance.

Magu shook her head. "A few corpses are not enough to trouble me."

As she spoke, Magu pinched her fingers towards a group of corpses.

"Boom!"

Nearly ten corpses exploded.

"The Fox Clan\'s Annihilation Pinch?" Princess Jiuwei exclaimed in surprise.

"The Fox Clan? Magu is using the Fox Clan\'s technique?" Zhong Shan asked, puzzled.

Princess Jiuwei widened her eyes but said nothing further.

However, the ten celestial corpses that had been crushed didn\'t end there. They suddenly turned into black smoke, which quickly gathered and reformed into a single, unprecedented corpse. This corpse had red eyes, green hair, and two ferocious fangs, with an even more intense aura of death.

"A hybrid corpse with a combined fate? Aren\'t you afraid of divine retribution?" For the first time, Magu showed a look of shock.

"Divine retribution? I\'m no saint; I don\'t believe in that," Mr. Corpse said calmly.

Indeed, the newly formed corpse seemed much stronger than the other celestial corpses, seemingly unkillable.

Even the powerful figures from various factions watching this eerie scene felt a chill.

"Go ahead, I only have this many celestial corpses. If they combine into a single Celestial Corpse King and still cannot drive you away, I will leave immediately," Mr. Corpse said with utmost confidence.

Indeed, a large number of celestial corpses surged forward again. After being scattered by Magu, they turned into black gas and slowly gathered together. The number of corpses decreased, but each time they decreased, they became stronger, increasingly formidable!

Magu seemed to realize that it was becoming more troublesome. After giving the celestial corpses a deep look, she suddenly shook her head and said, "After all these years alone, I\'ve almost forgotten how to command others."

Command others? Magu was alone; who could she command?

"Taiyi, get out here now!" Magu suddenly shouted coldly.

This shout carried an air of superiority, the kind of dominance only a person in a high position would have.

Taiyi? Was the person she was commanding named Taiyi? Which Taiyi?

While everyone was puzzled, the void not far away rippled slightly, and a man in a Nine-Dragon robe suddenly appeared.

Seeing this man, almost everyone\'s pupils contracted.

Taiyi, the Saint King Taiyi?

Wasn\'t he the one who guarded the Five-Colored Divine Stones with the Jade Void Kunlun Formation on Ghost Island? Didn\'t he retreat after being injured by Gui Che\'s blood? Why was he here now?

Had he been hiding in the shadows all along?

"Commanding others? You don\'t mean me, do you?" The Saint King Taiyi sneered.

"You will listen to me," Magu said flatly.

"Is that so? No one in this world can command me," the Saint King Taiyi said in a deep voice.

Zhong Shan had been watching Magu closely. At this moment, he noticed her lips moving slightly through her hood.

In an instant, the Saint King Taiyi\'s face changed dramatically.

"Who are you?" the Saint King Taiyi asked in horror.

"You don\'t need to know who I am; you just need to know that I can decide your life and death," Magu said calmly.

The onlookers were stunned. Deciding the life and death of the Saint King Taiyi? What a joke!

"Impossible! How could you know my life\'s fate? How could you know my \'lifeline\'? No one knows, no one in this world knows!" The Saint King Taiyi, who had been calm and composed, was now sweating.

"I don\'t know about others, but I do know your \'lifeline\'," Magu said calmly.

"Who are you? Everyone who knew my lifeline died long ago. There couldn\'t be any survivors. Who are you?" the Saint King Taiyi asked in terror.

"Withdraw all the people and corpses from here. Now!" Magu demanded unceremoniously.

At this moment, Magu shed her previous gentleness and became sharp and fierce.

"Boom!"

The Saint King Taiyi was powerful. In an instant, half of the people who had entered the life array were blasted away, and many of Mr. Corpse\'s celestial corpses were also destroyed.

The Saint King Taiyi had intervened?

This scene was beyond everyone\'s expectations. As Zhong Shan shook his head, Mr. Corpse in the distance rang his bell again, causing a large number of celestial corpses to sink into the sea. Mr. Corpse himself also stepped away, disappearing from everyone\'s sight in an instant.

Mr. Corpse left, but many forces showed a hint of regret, clearly impressed by Mr. Corpse\'s mysterious abilities.

However, what shocked people more was Magu. Initially unknown, she had repeatedly surprised everyone, and now she was even controlling a dignified Saint King?

The Saint King Taiyi, willingly allowing himself to be controlled, lifeline? What lifeline?
