Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426
Old Demon was even more powerful here than in the outside world, being almost able to exert half of the strength he had during his Tier-8 period, but Tier-8 couldn’t really damage Tier-9, so he could not fight Ancient Corpse! However, just one hit from Ancient Corpse would be too much for him, as Princess Amelia couldn’t withstand it either.
The ancient tomb became extremely bizarre due to the Seven-Hearted Demon Lord’s arrangement back then, along with the infiltration of the Heavenly Track’s power. Even Tier-9 power was unable to cause any real damage to the environment here. This kind of change was likely the method the Heavenly Track used to trap the Seven-Hearted Demon Lord’s corpse, but it had indeed trapped the Old Demon. He couldn’t break out of the tomb chamber. His only way out was at the entrance of the tomb, blocked by a group of Soul Bodies.
With each of Old Demon’s enraged roars, 孙大人 silently retreated.
孙大人 gently carried Princess Amelia’s corpse, carefully putting her down after moving away from the tomb entrance. Little Princess lay there with her eyes wide open, all cunning and crazed radiance dissipating, leaving only a gray dullness.
孙大人 knelt beside her, with mixed emotions in his heart, eventually only sighing, "She’s actually a misfortunate demon."
Looking at the Star Tethering Plate gripped tightly in Little Princess’s right hand, 孙大人 said, "Since you’re so attached to this treasure, I’ll let you be buried with it."
孙大人 tried to retrieve the treasure held in Little Princess’s left hand, but found her grip surprisingly tight. He looked at the few Spirit Fire Phoenix Tails, which had lost their Spirit Fire and revealed their beautiful, colorful, and true forms after Little Princess’s death. They extended from under her skirt, containing a few treasures within.
孙大人 tried again to remove these treasures, but the phoenix tails were still stubbornly entwined around them.
As 孙大人 was baffled, suddenly, faint light floated out from Little Princess’s body, taking on various shapes before finally solidifying into flames.
The fire burned, growing larger and larger until it completely enveloped the Little Princess. Her injuries quickly healed, and her tiny body twitched as her cherry-like lips parted, expelling a cloud of blood fog. As the fog was burned away by the fire, Little Princess’s eyes came alive!
Heavenly Reversal Power!
Staring like a frightened rabbit, 孙大人 panicked, asking for help: What should he do if the corpse suddenly came back to life while he was trying to do something bad to it?
孙大人 quickly pondered how to determine whether Little Princess had any consciousness during the time before her Power of Turning Back the Heavens brought her back to life.
If she didn’t, he could pretend nothing had happened, as undiscovered crimes never occurred!
If she did... cough, how could he beg for leniency and avoid getting pecked?
Little Princess sat up with all the treasures securely in her grasp, looking at one and touching another, like a little girl who had just received new dolls. Then she looked at 孙大人 with an ambiguous smile, "Brother, did you do anything bad to me while I was unconscious?"
孙大人 secretly panicked but then had a sudden inspiration, pointing at the ancient tomb, "There’s a Tier-8 Old Demon following us, I led him in to fight the Ancient Corpse of the Seven-Hearted Demon Lord. After he’s killed, we can sneak in, and all of Old Demon’s treasures will be ours!"
Little Princess’s eyes lit up! She was poor – the root cause being that Grand Emperor was stingy – or else, she wouldn’t have always had to use her Divine Powers to deal with her enemies and couldn’t produce any decent treasures along the way.
