Rumbling thunder.

In the Qingbei District, above the Qing River, the river water surged wildly.

"How... How is this possible?"

"You were supposed to be at the bottom of the river, how can you still be alive?"

"Are you a human... or a ghost?"

On the surface of the Qing River, the man in black stood on a small boat, his eyes full of shock, his voice trembling.

Just a moment ago, he had sunk a body to the bottom of the river. By now, that person should be dead...

But the person he had sunk to the bottom of the river was actually standing on the water!

It was truly a sight of a living ghost!

The young man did not speak, only the corners of his mouth curled up in a sinister and terrifying smile under the moonlight of the dark night.

The man in black, suppressing his fear, pulled out a gun and fired at the young man.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After several shots, a scene that the man in black would never forget appeared.

He saw that every bullet was caught by the young man!

Four bullets were held between his fingers, still smoking, while the young man remained unscathed!

"Ah! Run!"

The man in black, though a ruthless killer, was completely overwhelmed by this terrifying scene and tried to escape in his boat.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The young man flicked his fingers, and the four bullets whistled out, completely eliminating the man in black.

The man in black fell in a pool of blood, and until his death, he could not understand how that Chen family waste could possess such terrifying power!

...

Chen Xuan stood on the river surface, gazing at the starry sky, silent.

His emotions were complex.

It was not because he had eliminated the man in black, but because he now had to accept a reality: he had been reborn!

He had returned to Earth, back to his teenage years!

"Have I, Chen Xuan, returned? I, who was supposed to die in the Nine Profound Divine Tribulation, have actually returned to the beginning of my fate?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan smiled.

...

Chen Xuan had a famous title: the Corpse Profound Demon Lord!

In the myriad worlds, he was the only one to have experienced the Nine Profound Divine Tribulation!

In his previous life, he had been sunk to the bottom of the river like this!

If it weren't for the corpse poison from the ancient corpse at the bottom of the river entering his body, he would have really died!

Of course, even if he had survived, he was not truly alive.

Because he had become a walking corpse.

A walking corpse had to endure the pain of the corpse poison every day and night.

Thinking back, Chen Xuan's eyes became distant; he had truly climbed out of hell step by step!

In the end, he returned to the human world alone!

He slaughtered his way through, shocking the myriad worlds!

"Rakshasa Empress, I treated you like family, but you led the strong of the myriad worlds to attack me while I was undergoing the Nine Profound Divine Tribulation, causing my tribulation to fail and leading to my death and the destruction of my path!"

"No matter what the reason, I will step back into the myriad worlds and personally settle the score with you!"

He, the Corpse Profound Demon Lord, ruthless in killing, had roamed the myriad worlds, but was ultimately betrayed and killed by the Rakshasa Empress, whom he trusted the most. It was truly laughable!

"Since I have returned to Earth, I will prevent all the tragedies of my previous life."

"Also, Wang Chu! You arranged for people to harm me, trying to incite a war between the Chen and Li families. I won't let you get your way. Are you ready to face my wrath?"

"And, my beloved, I will find you!"

"Mom, and sister, are you well? I will also uncover the truth behind Dad's car accident!"

Thinking of his family, Chen Xuan's originally fierce eyes gradually softened.

...

In his previous life, he had suffered many misfortunes, like a star of misfortune, and no one who was with him had a good end!

This was because, in his previous life, Chen Xuan's character was too weak, and he could only be at the mercy of others!

Although he later obtained a chance, did not die here, and became a walking corpse, his strength increased, but all the tragedies had already happened, and he had no power to reverse them.

"First, I'll save Li Shihan."

Chen Xuan placed the body of a young girl he was carrying on the small boat.

Li Shihan, the daughter of the Li family, Wang Chu had used her to incite a war between the Chen and Li families, sinking both of them to the bottom of the river.

He then fabricated a story that Chen Xuan had confessed his love to Li Shihan, she had rejected him, and in his madness, he had dragged her into the river to die for love...

Because of this, the Chen and Li families had a major conflict in his previous life, allowing the Wang family to benefit.

"No breath, already dead. It seems I need to take a drop of the ancient corpse's essence blood to turn her into a walking corpse, allowing her to live in another form."

After checking Li Shihan's condition, Chen Xuan had made his decision.

Li Shihan had died because of him, and he had to bring her back to life.

This way, he could not only foil Wang Chu's plan but also prevent the war between the Chen and Li families.

Bang!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan moved, leaping into the river.

In just five seconds!

Chen Xuan reached the muddy bottom of the river!

Although it was cold and bone-chilling above, it was somewhat warm here.

In front of him, a corpse with blue-black skin lay on the river bottom, swaying with the current. There was a fierce wound on its neck, which had healed considerably.

This was the ancient corpse!

When Chen Xuan arrived, the ancient corpse's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Whoosh!

The ancient corpse's fingernails suddenly grew, and it sprang up, stirring up a large amount of mud. In the murky water, its sharp claws were already aiming for Chen Xuan's eyes.

"Hmph, I want to save you, but you want to kill me? Isn't that too ungrateful?"

Chen Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile, calm and composed, standing there leisurely.

"Save... me?"

A low, hoarse voice came from the ancient corpse, Chen Xuan's words echoing in its ears.

It stopped its movements, its wary eyes sizing up Chen Xuan from a distance.

If it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to stand here and talk to it.

"That's right, I want to save you. In your current state, even if you can avoid your enemies, you will die in two days at the bottom of the river!"

Chen Xuan spoke calmly, then slowly opened his mouth, spitting out a black beam of light.

"What is this!"

The ancient corpse's body trembled, and it dodged to the side without hesitation.

Rumbling thunder!

The water exploded, and a buzzing sound echoed throughout the area.

The ancient corpse suddenly raised its head, its eyes fixed on the front.

In front of it, a strange black coffin floated in the air.

On the black coffin, intricate and mysterious runes were carved, emitting a very sinister yet sacred aura.

"Is... is this a corpse cultivation treasure?"

Feeling the fluctuations from the black coffin, the ancient corpse's body trembled violently, and when it looked at Chen Xuan again, its eyes were filled with shock.

How could this ordinary young man possess such a powerful corpse cultivation treasure?
