Free Web NovelChapter 525: Chapter 267: Corpse Body Shakes Soul Artifact, We Are On the Same Side [First Update, Please Vote!]
The Corpse Cultivator truly can massacre cities and annihilate clans.
"Kid, to force me to openly use this technique, you are the only one among the Early Stage Golden Core cultivators in the entire West Mountain Floating Domain... However, you’ll pay for this with your life."
Upon speaking.
The Silent Extinction Sword Radiance blossomed with its final brilliance, transforming into a green lotus that exploded and enveloped an area of three thousand zhang. Amidst the last brilliance of the Silent Extinction Sword Technique, Qi Qiantian’s Divine Soul Power once again condensed, but this time it didn’t press towards the East Spring Undying Bone.
Instead, it gradually gathered around him, from invisible to visible, transforming into a one-zhang-long needle after several breaths.
The needle took form, resembling a Magical Artifact, but without a physical body, entirely condensed from Divine Soul Power, and could detach from the body. Such a transformation can be achieved at a high level of Three Souls Flawless Technique Divine Soul Cauldron cultivation.
But Wen Jiu hadn’t reached this stage yet.
The fact that Qi Qiantian reached this point clearly marked him as extraordinary. More importantly, Qi Qiantian’s Divine Soul Yin Technique was definitely not ordinary. Because a typical Golden Core Divine Soul technique cannot manifest externally as an artifact.
The average Loose Cultivator couldn’t comprehend this, as they lacked exposure to Divine Soul techniques, but how could Master Zhu of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, a Golden Core Cultivator, not understand? When he saw the Divine Soul transform into a long needle, Master Zhu’s earlier panic instantly turned into ecstasy.
"Elder Qi is much too deep in hiding; the ability to manifest the Divine Soul externally is such a rare technique, even in the Domain Lord’s Mansion it’s considered classified, possibly beyond even the reach of the Spirit Suppressing General. Even if they could, it would be difficult to master... Elder Qi, you have truly concealed yourself well!" The stronger Qi Qiantian became, the more at ease Master Zhu felt.
However, Wen Jiu did not take this external manifestation of the Divine Soul lightly. Although the Three Souls Flawless Technique could only form a cauldron within, his current Divine Soul was terrifyingly strong, bolstered by the Top-Grade Golden Core Power.
It cannot be easily overcome by a mere ordinary Divine Soul external manifestation. If it could, the power of the Top-Grade Undying Golden Core, along with a whole True Spirit Demon Tree and the Three Souls Flawless technique, would seem laughable.
"This technique, I’ll take it!"
Wen Jiu initially did not wish to waste Corpse Qi, but to avoid any mishap, he used a Blood Corpse Escape to close in on Qi Qiantian. Qi Qiantian was not slow to react; as the Corpse Qi descended, the three-zhang Divine Soul needle was already crashing down.
Boom—
The two clashed abruptly.
But at the moment of impact, the needle broke with a sound, and before Qi Qiantian could react in horror, he was sent flying by a punch. The punch struck solidly on his chest, launching him ten thousand zhang away, before crashing through several mountain peaks and finally coming to a stop.
Wen Jiu gave no time for Qi Qiantian to react, using another Blood Corpse Escape to pursue swiftly. Qi Qiantian clearly lost his will to fight, and in the instant the East Spring Undying Bone moved again, he used a Tier Three Escape Talisman to flee three hundred li away.
"He’s just an Early Stage Golden Core, why is this happening..." After using the escape talisman to flee afar, Qi Qiantian looked down at his already sunken Spirit Body, quickly swallowing several Healing Elixirs to stabilize his injuries.
At this moment.
He was no longer concerned about why his Divine Soul Secret Technique was so vulnerable; the moment before he felt an aura that suffocated his Middle-Grade Golden Core, absolutely not Supreme.
Not Supreme.
Then it’s very likely...
Qi Qiantian no longer dared to speculate, thinking only to escape quickly but barely had he flown a thousand zhang before the aura reemerged in just several breaths.
"So fast!"
Qi Qiantian hurriedly used escape techniques and talismans again.
Only after fleeing a thousand li did he dare to stop, but just as he paused, the Corpse Qi was already behind him.
"There was once a Mid-stage Golden Core Body Cultivator who used escape techniques to flee six thousand li in front of me, yet ultimately became nourishment for my corpse cultivation," Wen Jiu coldly transmitted, disrupting his state of mind.
If Qi Qiantian continued to flee like this, it would be truly difficult to resolve him for quite a while, and would waste Corpse Qi.
Thus, he needed Qi Qiantian to stop.
At this moment, Qi Qiantian’s face was ashen; he could only use another escape technique once more, but dared not use it excessively. He feared that using the escape talisman too many times would drive his Spirit Body to a desperate end. At the moment he landed using the escape technique, a Tier Three Middle-Grade Treasure Talisman appeared in his hand and was promptly activated, suddenly transforming into golden light, enveloping an area of one hundred zhang, alleviating some of the panic on Qi Qiantian’s face.
"Fellow Daoist, we can discuss... Though this treasure talisman is only Tier Three Lower Grade, I’ve nurtured it for two hundred years. It may not withstand your attacks completely, but it can certainly hold for half a day."
Qi Qiantian looked troubled, speaking hurriedly, and glanced around to seek the East Spring Undying Bone’s figure.
"Indeed, righteous cultivators each have a treasure talisman," Wen Jiu was not surprised, as righteous cultivators favor this approach.
But one must admit, it is indeed one of the best means of preservation. Hearing "nurtured for two hundred years," Wen Jiu couldn’t help but smile. Unexpectedly, there’s an unexpected joy; the nurturing of two hundred years must encompass countless Spiritual Qi and Magical Power, perfect to supplement Corpse Qi, allowing all his Corpse Qi consumed in pursuing Qi Qiantian to be rapidly replenished and also prepared to face the third wave of Thunder Tribulation.
Without hesitation, Wen Jiu directly used Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi to envelop the golden light.
But only one hundred zhang; he didn’t dare cover a hundred li like before. Creating another Land of Absolute Spirit would surely be troublesome. Just one hundred zhang, plus being far from the ground, posed no major problem.
"Fellow Daoist!"
Receiving no response, Qi Qiantian quickly took out the Communication Stone but didn’t immediately transmit to the outside, "Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to stop your hand, Qi Mou will act as if nothing happened, and immediately swear a Heart Demon Oath, willing to pay any price!"
"Then remove the treasure talisman," Wen Jiu replied.
Qi Qiantian responded quickly, "Fellow Daoist, if you swear a Heart Demon Oath, Qi Mou will instantly remove the treasure talisman."
"You see, our previous issue was lack of trust, so you might as well die," Wen Jiu manipulated the East Spring Undying Bone to begin madly absorbing the Spiritual Qi and Magical Power within the treasure talisman, rapidly replenishing the Corpse Qi inside him.
Noticing the treasure talisman’s rapidly depleting Magical Power, Qi Qiantian was horrified, and the tiny bit of reassurance in his heart vanished, panic-stricken he shouted again, "Fellow Daoist, just ask and I will agree to anything, to everything... Even if you wish me to serve at your beck and call for a hundred years, I can agree!"
A hundred years?
Wen Jiu sneered and continued devouring the Magical Power within the treasure talisman while replenishing Corpse Qi into the two corpses.
After ten breaths, the third wave of Thunder Tribulation descended with a sound, and simultaneously, an intangible Curse Power followed. If the two corpses were living beings, this cursed object might indeed affect their mindset, but the two corpses had no thoughts and were controlled solely by him. The curse power falling on the two corpses was completely negligible.
However, Wen Jiu could clearly feel that the curse power came from the Spirit Suppressing General, under Master Zhu’s command.
"This is forcing me to kill people from the Domain Lord’s Mansion," Wen Jiu frowned slightly, but without any hesitation, "Then, it’s time to utilize Du Guan and Shi Zhen’s identities one last time."
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Jiu began to fully convey Corpse Qi to the two corpses; the corpse Qi within the East Spring Undying Bone saw its bottom within a hundred breaths. However, fortunately, the two corpses remained fully replenished under the East Spring Undying Bone’s supplementation.
Meanwhile, the thunderclouds also began to contract, but their destructive power began to enhance, with the Corpse Qi consumption rate accelerating.
By necessity, Wen Jiu had to enlarge the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi to two hundred zhang to increase the devouring effect. Thankfully Qi Qiantian’s treasure talisman contained sufficient Magical Power and Spiritual Qi, enabling a substantial increase in the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi range to two hundred zhang, allowing the East Spring Undying Bone’s replenishment speed to finally surpass the two corpses’ consumption rate.
As long as this could be maintained, with the treasure talisman’s assistance, the two corpses could endure the Thunder Tribulation in an absolutely full, unharmed state. Meanwhile, the East Spring Undying Bone could also retain its Corpse Qi fully replenished.
However, Qi Qiantian at this moment also realized something amiss because he once visited the Hundred Li Land of Absolute Spirit created by Demon Cultivators in the Celestial Yin Mountain Range. This feeling and the surrounding changes in heaven and earth around the treasure talisman seemed extremely similar.
"You, you are a spy from the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect!" Qi Qiantian’s expression changed again, but in shock and he transmitted joyfully, "Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist... We’re on the same side; I’m also working for the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect."
"Hmm?" ƒrēewebnovel.com
Wen Jiu paused.
