Free Web NovelChapter 527: Chapter 268: Cyan Demon Lineage, Demon Corpse Transformation
"But observing others’ life fate damages the Yin fortune of the corpse, which is intolerable to Heaven and Earth. The Yin fortune is elusive and immeasurable, but the intolerance of Heaven and Earth must be handled with caution, for it concerns the Thunder Tribulation, which should not be underestimated."
Wen Jiu murmured, immediately observing the changes in the Blood Demon Undying Bone again. In fact, Wen Jiu didn’t fully understand. Among the Three Corpses, the foundation of the Blood Demon Undying Bone should be the deepest, after all, it used a Foundation Establishment Demon Corpse.
Moreover, the Demon Corpse’s body is among the top tier within the Three Corpses. Why did it only form an Upper-Rank Golden Core? Although the quality of the Core Formation involves a degree of luck, the fact that Three Thousand Blood Inks could achieve a Top-Grade Golden Core proves their luck is not bad at all.
In the subsequent introspection, Wen Jiu found a clue. When the Blood Demon Undying Bone transformed into an Undying Demon Pill, its color was a dark gold. Unlike the dazzling Three Thousand Blood Inks because most of the darkness in the Demon Pill dominated.
Initially, Three Thousand Blood Inks should have the most abundant Golden Core Corpse Qi. However, without the foundation of the Ten Great Heterodox Dao Foundations, the Demon Corpse Qi in the Blood Demon Undying Bone’s Demon Pill was on par with Three Thousand Blood Inks.
"Why is this?"
"It seems I can only wait for the daily settlement to know."
Wen Jiu put away his thoughts, feeling some familiarity with Blood Demon Undying Bone, yet not daring to assert.Only the daily settlement would reveal the truth.
"Time to wrap it up."
Wen Jiu’s Divine Sense fell on Master Zhu.
...
Meanwhile, Master Zhu arrived at the dilapidated Core Formation Cave Mansion, followed by congratulatory voices.
"Golden Core Zhu San Sheng, under the West Mountain Spirit Suppressing Army, congratulates Fellow Daoist Du and Fellow Daoist Shi for successfully forming their cores and achieving top-grade and upper rank, with limitless prospects. Zhu Mou has reported this directly to one of the four Spirit Suppressing Generals of the Western Regions Spirit Suppressing Army, General Lin. After receiving my message, General Lin was overjoyed and highly praised both of you, specially ordering me to prepare hefty gifts to congratulate you both..."
Hearing Master Zhu’s words, Wen Jiu nearly burst out laughing. If his Divine Sense hadn’t been monitoring, knowing that Master Zhu couldn’t contact General Lin, he almost believed it. However, this move was indeed clever, bringing up one of the four True Spirit Generals, Lin Zhuo, making it seem like they had a close relationship.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if displeased, they wouldn’t openly turn against Master Zhu because of General Lin and the thousands of onlookers.
Now, with Master Zhu offering lavish gifts, small matters turned trivial.
Regrettable.
This person harbors heavy killing intent.
The grudge of obstructing one’s path and scheming must be repaid in blood.
Just after Master Zhu finished, the observing loose cultivators expressed amazement and envy, joining in with congratulatory words. Wen Jiu controlled the two corpses to slowly walk out of the Core Formation Land, staring intently at Master Zhu. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Master Zhu also smiled at the two corpses, hurriedly transmitting a silent apology, handing over a storage bag containing five hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones. Five hundred thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones equaled fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones.
The entire wealth of an ordinary Golden Core Zhenren wouldn’t surpass this.
But Wen Jiu was lazy to talk. He immediately controlled Blood Demon Undying Bone and Three Thousand Blood Inks to attack simultaneously. The Power of the Unmelting Golden Pill erupted, killing Master Zhu, while mimicking both’s formulaic opening arguments.
"Master Zhu, we do not accept your apologetic transmission. You schemed against us first, accepting millions from us in Spirit Stones, yet secretly placing the Qi Family’s Alchemy Master amongst us, ruining our Core Formation momentum."
"We might have even let that slide, forming Top-Grade and Upper-Rank Golden Cores, not wanting to hold grudges with you. However, during our Crossing the Tribulation, you sent a Fake Pill Cultivator to inflict Curse Techniques repeatedly, disturbing our state of mind, nearly causing our deaths under the Thunder Tribulation multiple times... Such obstruction and major revenge, if I, Shi Zhen, do not kill you, I am not fit to be called human!"
When the two corpses attacked, Master Zhu was merely at the Early Stage of Golden Core. When the Power of the Unmelting Golden Pill surged, his Protective Golden Core Power shattered instantly. His Protective Tier Three Magical Robe, under the intense assault, only lasted ten breaths. The Spirit Suppressing General intended to intervene, yet Du Jiang’s and Shi Zhen’s accusations stirred an uproar among the loose cultivators.
Those two, who ended up as Fake Pill Foundation Establishment Wanderers among the Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishment, were furious.
"No wonder that fellow’s Core Formation invincible, turns out to be an Alchemy Master. Arranging a Golden Core Zhenren among us, destroying my path to Core Formation... Damn it, you even pretend to represent the Spirit Army!"
The other one was equally enraged.
And no one doubted Du Jiang and Shi Zhen’s claims because Master Zhu was indeed under the Spirit Suppressing General, a Golden Core Zhenren.
Belonging to the Domain Lord’s Mansion.
Du Jiang and Shi Zhen attacking a Golden Core Cultivator of the Domain Lord’s Mansion was tantamount to defying the Domain Lord, a serious accusation.
But Du Jiang and Shi Zhen still did it.
If not for such a great enmity of obstruction, how could they act so recklessly?
In the midst of aroused emotions, many in the Spirit Army wavered about whether to intervene. However, they all trusted Du Jiang and Shi Zhen’s words, ultimately choosing to watch from afar while promptly reporting.
If what Du Jiang and Shi Zhen said was true, then East Pole Immortal City’s reputation would suffer greatly. If they helped Master Zhu against Du Jiang and Shi Zhen, East Pole Immortal City’s name would reek worse than the Corpse Cultivator’s rot.
"Help me!"
"Help me!"
As the Tier Three Magical Robe shattered, Master Zhu, who relied on his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, cried out continuously.
When finding none to help, and numerous loose cultivators hurling curses because of Du Jiang and Shi Zhen’s claims, Master Zhu realized his trouble might be unsolvable for good.
If this reached the Spirit Suppressing General’s ears, her life would be over.
But regardless, she wanted to live.
Living at least offered hope.
"Fellow Daoists, this is all a misunderstanding. Qi Mou is willing to offer all my wealth, just requesting your forgiveness..."
Wen Jiu ignored, continuing to control the two corpses’ fierce attacks, causing the Tier Three Lower-grade Spiritual Artifact to crumble rapidly. Taking this chance, Wen Jiu tested the strength of the two corpses’ bodies. Although Blood Demon Undying Bone was only an Upper-Rank Demon Pill, its body strength and Power of the Unmelting Demon Pill were above Three Thousand Blood Inks.
Three Thousand Blood Inks’ body wasn’t as strong, but it could use the Corpse Fate Technique during battles to spy on Master Zhu’s life fate. Due to his strength being lower than Three Thousand Blood Inks, it could easily see through his cards by looking at the past Life Fate Veins. freeweɓnøvel.com
"So this is the Great Success Corpse Fate Technique?" Wen Jiu was quite delighted. If this method can spy on the Life Fate Veins of stronger opponents, revealing their cards, he could formulate a surefire plan, ensuring not letting anyone escape.
"I’ll try it when I’m back."
Wen Jiu put away his thoughts and continued besieging Master Zhu. However, he simultaneously felt something unusual from Blood Demon Undying Bone. For some reason, each attack on Master Zhu’s Spirit Body would draw out some invisible energy from within, yet he couldn’t discern what it was.
But upon carefully sensing Blood Demon Undying Bone’s Divine Sense, Wen Jiu discovered this invisible energy differed entirely from anything seen before. Truly invisible, it couldn’t be seen even with the naked eye or Divine Sense.
Three Thousand Blood Inks couldn’t spy on it, only Blood Demon Undying Bone could.
After careful sensing, Wen Jiu’s expression tightened because he finally understood the invisible energy being absorbed by Blood Demon Undying Bone was — lifespan, Master Zhu’s more than seven hundred-year lifespan.
Through the Corpse Fate Technique’s divination by Three Thousand Blood Inks, it showed that Blood Demon Undying Bone’s attacks just now reduced his lifespan by over twenty years.
"No way, Blood Demon Undying Bone can absorb lifespan?" Sensing the lifespan being absorbed and stored within, Wen Jiu’s mind stirred slightly.
"Lifespan absorbed during attacks, I’m becoming increasingly dark, increasingly demonic..." For a moment, Wen Jiu wasn’t sure whether this method was good or bad; he could only wait for detailed information from the daily settlement to make a judgment.
Quickly.
Master Zhu, unable to focus on using the Escape Technique, had his Golden Core pulled out by a punch from the Undying Demon Corpse.
Once without its core.
Though not dead, Master Zhu was no different from dead.
In the days ahead, his cultivation would drop to Foundation Establishment, then to Qi Cultivation, finally becoming a mere mortal.
This was more painful than death.
Of course, he wasn’t that dark, enjoying torture. The reason for not killing Master Zhu directly was that Wen Jiu found most of her lifespan force concentrated in the Golden Core.
Killing outright would dissolve lifespan instantly, only by extracting the Golden Core alive could the majority of lifespan be taken.
