Chapter 1116 — Reunion with an Old Friend

"Mu Tianzun, you promised this palace a term of ten years, and then you would summon my soul and revive me. You are two months late!"

Shen Mu and the others descended. Ahead, the earth shook and split open, and a huge stone coffin rose slowly from underground.

The stone coffin opened. The Supreme Emperor's Corpse gave a choking sob, corpse-qi spreading everywhere, and it made to leap from the coffin and kill!

"Hold!"

Shen Mu laughed. "Earth Mother Yuanjun, I have come back this time precisely to keep my promise and revive you. Do you know that I was exiled to the ancient past, struggling to survive, and barely made it back alive; and the one thing that sustained me was a conviction: that I must fulfill my promise to the Earth Mother!"

The Supreme Emperor's Corpse's sharp claws halted before his face, the reek of blood and rot washing over him.

Shen Mu did not change expression.

Among the vines, the Earth Mother Yuanjun's voice came, cold with mockery: "Are you trying to fool me again? You are no longer the Grand Master of Undying Ten Thousand Kalpas! Mu Tianzun, the Ancient Gods all say that Fire Tianzun killed the Southern Emperor, and that you have no power to revive him. To the Ancient Gods, you are of no use now."

Her voice drifted, now here, now there. A green vine stretched forth like a venomous serpent or a great python, stealing quietly to Shen Mu's side, coiling and growing around him.
