Free Web NovelChapter 393: Chapter 351: Half-Corpse Dao Pattern
In an instant, the Spirit Vein trembled, torrents of Spiritual Qi surged forth, resonating through the canyon, and waves of Corpse Evil rushed in!
Spiritual Qi and Evil Qi stirred and merged, forming a giant vortex ten zhang high, which channeled straight down from the hundred meetings atop Wang Yu’s head, engulfed by the black lotus within his Dantian. The Dao Pattern on the lotus seedpod twisted, as if in a jubilant dance.
"This is fun! This is fun!" The child beamed, hopping around, "I’ve created a new toy here that only I possess! Hahaha, if the others see it, they’ll be green with envy."
The vortex of Spiritual Qi was completely absorbed, Wang Yu opened his eyes, and the all-black eyes, devoid of any whites, chilled Master Yuhu’s heart.
He had achieved Foundation Establishment!
The five corpse organs originally pieced together, along with a bizarre arm covered in red hair, were completely refined into one under the baptism of Spiritual Power and Evil Qi, catalyzed by the Corpse Ancestor Essence.
His naked form was fair-skinned, his streamlined muscles strikingly handsome, his figure taller by several inches, and apart from the pair of pitch-black eyes, his appearance barely altered, still resembling a normal human overall.
Yet within, this body was now half-human, half-corpse, with the six-inch high eight-petaled black lotus within his Dantian replacing the former Tri-Color Spirit Flower, and the solitary hole lotus seedpod replacing the previous Spirit Bud.
Only with a half-human, half-corpse body, bearing a half-alive, half-dead Spirit Flower, can one activate the half-yin, half-yang Dao Pattern!
"Marvelous, marvelous!" The child kept nodding, his pale face full of rapture, "With my Fetus Breeding Technique as the foundation, combined with the Dao Rhyme’s timely response, serendipity can yield such a rare entity; it’s truly providential I snuck out this time."
"Master." Wang Yu felt the child before him was the most admirable figure in the world, since his very life was granted by him, naturally he must unconditionally obey his commands.
"Hmm, since you’ve inscribed a trace of Rhythm of the Great Dao, what amusing skills do you have? Showcase them for me," the child said loftily.
Wang Yu nodded and immediately activated his Dao Pattern.
In his half-human, half-corpse, half-living, half-dead body, the forces of Spiritual Power and Corpse Evil melded together curiously. If one had to name it, perhaps "Spiritual Evil" would be most apt.
The power of Spiritual Evil surged throughout, a cold and obscure, yet vigorously lively Spiritual Pressure rising.
The black lotus within the Dantian began to tremble, the Dao Pattern on the lotus seedpod twisted and exerted its force.
However, nothing happened.
Wang Yu paused for a moment, facing the child’s puzzled expression, he respectfully explained: "Master, my Dao Pattern requires a freshly deceased corpse to activate."
Freshly deceased? Here, the ground is littered with corpses dead for countless ages, with some cultivators previously used as corpse bait gnawed completely away, where to find something freshly dead—
A tiger roar echoed through the canyon!
Master Yuhu swiftly reacted, instantly deploying his most powerful move!
Divine Power: Tiger Soul Autumn Hair Slash!
His entire being ignited with golden flames, the blaze soared upwards, as tall as ten zhang. Amidst the golden flames, a tiger, pure white and crystalline like jade, leapt forth, its emerald eyes scanning fiercely, a majestic roar resounding against the canyon walls, overpowering the tide-like howls of corpses at the valley floor.
In the next instant, the three-zhang tall Jade Tiger leapt up, transforming into a blade as thin as an autumn hair, its edge gleaming like flowing light, with only the intent of the blade visible, not the form, flashing down towards Wang Yu!
This silent blade, like a bundle of light, was locked on Wang Yu, splitting open a blood mark on his brow.
The extremely thin Autumn Blade, effortlessly accommodating all, can sever all things!
With this slash, Master Yuhu didn’t bother to see the result, the Escape Light surged, sending him skyward.
He knew that this slash was nothing before the bizarrely strong Corpse Ancestor, hence he wasn’t aiming at the child but at Wang Yu, hoping the child would rescue Wang Yu, allowing him a chance to escape.
Unfortunately.
He had just risen a zhang when a small, pale hand clutched his throat.
Master Yuhu turned back in horror, seeing the child firmly grasping the intangible Autumn Blade in one hand, while the other held his nape!
Clearly just a beam of unseen blade light, yet the child forcibly held it bare-handed; such might undeniably surpassed Nascent Soul, this Corpse Ancestor possessed cultivation on par with a Primordial Spirit Profound Monarch!
"Spare—"
Crunch!
The child showed a cruel smile.
Master Yuhu’s head was forcibly twisted a full circle, while a force pierced through his spine into his chest, shattering his thumping heart!
The Autumn Blade emitted a sorrowful cry, instantly vanished in the air.
The light faded from Master Yuhu’s eyes, this Golden Core Master normally commanding a county outside was now discarded before Wang Yu like a ragged sack.
Wang Yu dared not hesitate, the Dao Pattern on the lotus seedpod within his Dantian trembled. He reached out, Spiritual Evil and Divine Sense infused into Master Yuhu’s corpse.
Dao Pattern: Corpse Puppet!
The Rhythm of the Great Dao, gleaned through puppetry cultivation, underwent an eerie change upon inscribing the Dao Pattern; it was unprecedented, a Dao Pattern belonging to the deceased!
With a crack, Master Yuhu’s once-twisted head shuddered back into place, rising unsteadily to stand deferentially before Wang Yu.
The Jade Tiger Corpse Puppet suddenly opened its eyes, identical to Wang Yu’s pure black pupils.
Now, he had become Wang Yu’s Corpse Puppet!
Corpse Puppet must be crafted using a freshly deceased body, with unscattered Spiritual Mechanism, devoid of memory but possessing most spiritual wisdom and instinct, retaining all previous cultivation.
Moreover, as a dead matter, it could be stored within a Storage Pouch.
"Interesting! Interesting!" The child laughed heartily, "My toy can make toys, with this, wouldn’t I have a whole bunch of playmates!"
The torrents of Spiritual Evil ceaselessly surged in, two invisible puppet strings emerged from Wang Yu’s body, one penetrating the Niwan Palace of the Jade Tiger Corpse Puppet, the other penetrating its Dantian.
He intended to use Corpse Puppet Dao Pattern, combined with his own Spiritual Evil, to transform this radiant Golden Core into a gray Corpse Pill.
Yet the next moment, just after a shell of Corpse Evil covered the surface of the Golden Core, immense resistance emanated, repelling the Spiritual Evil, no matter what, further transformation was impossible.
No good, my cultivation is too low, with Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, I can only solidify this Corpse Puppet, but can’t complete the transformation from Golden Core to Corpse Pill.
In other words, as a Foundation Establishment, I can’t control a Corpse Puppet of Golden Core level!
"Master, my cultivation is too low, I can’t control this puppet yet," Wang Yu said in shame, "My Dao Pattern can only control cultivators one small realm higher at most, and I can control only three right now."
"But as my cultivation improves, the number of Corpse Puppet I can control will definitely increase."
The child nodded indifferently: "No matter, follow me, in this Corpse Prison Ridge, you’ll enjoy endless benefits, your cultivation will naturally soar."
"Come, let me take you to find something good now."
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly from afar, the core area of Corpse Prison Ridge, a bell rang!
The child’s face changed dramatically, turning to look: "The boss urgently summons?"
