Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1134: Chapter 686: Return_2

That dead ghost was different.

Turmoil has arisen, the great calamity has arrived, an imminent crisis and peril. Even Xu Yang could not guarantee that the Wandao School could suppress the turmoil and safely navigate through this disaster.

This was also why he delved deep into the Emperor's Corpse without a head.

Know yourself, know your enemy, a hundred battles without peril!

He needed to understand the force behind the turmoil, the terrifying existence's strength, situation, and state, to accordingly adjust his own and the Wandao School's strategic direction—whether to attack or defend, advance or retreat, to consolidate forces and fortify the Taoist Domain, or to seize the moment for substantial development.

All these decisions depended on the state of the opponent.

As for how to determine his situation and state, it was necessary to look at the Emperor's Corpse that had been beheaded.

Xu Yang lifted his gaze to look at the head.

The head was gone, decapitated, leaving only a stump-like neck with a cut so flat and smooth. Despite the blood congealed and the sight being startling, it was devoid of any roughness.

From this wound, one can imagine how this Ancient Great Emperor of yore was beheaded and reduced to a lifeless corpse.

Such a clean, smooth wound must have been inflicted by an incomparably fierce attack, decapitating his head in one blow, taking his life, and turning the invincible ruler who once suppressed the Divine Land into a headless dead ghost.
