Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1772: Chapter 585: The Perfect Corpse Puppet

——Only the utmost hatred can coalesce into the purest malevolent energy.

She also donned a set of black armor, though it was not the standard-issue armor of the court.

This black armor had both inner and outer layers, not only exquisitely styled and surrounded by spirit light but also inherently endowed with powerful spiritual mechanisms, resonating with several Heavenly Rules of the world.

If Chu Xisheng were present at this moment, he would find the armor plates on this black armor exceedingly similar to those of his two sets of inner and outer armors, both derived from the ancient corpses of Vengeance.

However, the two sets of armor on "Chu Ming" are evidently far more powerful.

After Chu Ming stood beside Emperor Jianyuan, she did not bow but merely held her hand on her blade, silently watching the emperor.

Her stature was upright, her face expressionless, devoid of any emotion, and her eyes showed no fluctuation, making her appear like a standing corpse.

Emperor Jianyuan seemed utterly indifferent to this sight.

The resentment within Chu Ming was indeed intense.

So intense that it could withstand his Forbidden Technique’s suppression, refusing to succumb and bow.

However, this was a good thing; the stronger Chu Ming’s hatred, the stronger her battle capabilities.

Emperor Jianyuan even appreciatively observed Chu Ming up and down.

This war puppet was crafted to near perfection.

The only imperfection was the overly intricate Divine Contract between the Formless Divine Sect and Chu Ming.

They even anticipated the scenario of Chu Ming’s death, rendering it nearly flawless.

However, after Chu Ming’s death, there was still an opportunity.

The Divine Contract had already loosened.

Next, once they gather the materials and complete the super-grade Heavenly Gang Skill "substitute one thing for another," they could replace the Divine Contract on Chu Ming.

Emperor Jianyuan was eagerly anticipating this, though he had to patiently wait.

For at this time, Daning’s Treasury was already more than half empty.

To honor the Initial Heavenly Gaze and refine Chu Ming, the Treasury expended a massive amount of Magic materials.

Even with Emperor Jianyuan’s wealth spanning the four seas, he could barely sustain it.

Especially with the incessant warfare in recent years, first with the Extreme East Ice City advancing west, followed by Chu Xisheng and his wife seizing the fertile lands of the Ten States, nearly exhausting the Treasury.

Fortunate indeed was the income from the Ten Big Coins, continuously bringing him wealth.

It’s estimated that in one or two months at most, his Chief Eunuch of the Household Department will procure the necessary materials from Central Earth.

Emperor Jianyuan then reined in his scattered thoughts, lamenting endlessly: "Alas, the third form of the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade remains unrefined; without it, what is there for me to fear?"

Yu Kunlun shook his head slightly: "Indeed, it’s somewhat premature. However, the situation leaves us with no choice."

If they could wait for Chu Ming to reach Second Grade herself, they wouldn’t have to pay such a hefty price.

"There is no such thing as absolute perfection in this world."

Emperor Jianyuan sighed deeply, then raised his hand, pointing forward: "Ming’er! Soon I shall order the entire army to chant your name. Once you have gathered enough Enemy Intent Kill Intent, charge directly in that direction. Then, disregard everything else, focus solely on killing, as many as you can. Do you understand?"

Chu Ming still did not speak; she only looked firmly at Emperor Jianyuan, crimson light hovering in her eyes.

Emperor Jianyuan sensed her intense hatred and Kill Intent, yet he remained unconcerned.

However, just as he was about to say something, Xiaao Hongchen approached from a distance and kneeled halfway before the chariot.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiaao Hongchen’s voice was hoarse and grave: "News from upstream claims that Zhoou Liangchen is already commanding the navy, moving downstream rapidly, and engaging with our navy."

Emperor Jianyuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

He released the Heavenly Gaze in his arms and seized both arms of his throne: "Zhoou Liangchen? Where does he find the gall?"

Zhoou Liangchen was a renowned admiral within the Iron Banner Gang.

Emperor Jianyuan, however, held little respect for this individual.

Though Zhoou Liangchen was called a famous general, he was merely a representative put forth by some noble families of Jiangnan.

Only because he once served as Chu Xisheng’s Daoist, thus gaining Chu Xisheng’s trust, becoming a bridge between the noble families of Jiangnan and Chu Xisheng.

Since his debut, Zhoou Liangchen had never faced defeat in naval warfare.

Yet these glorious records relied heavily on the strengths backing him.

The navy of the Iron Banner Gang was composed of core gang members and elite members of coastal and riparian noble families, creating a monstrous force.

Hence, Zhoou Liangchen’s control over this navy was very limited.

Without some assured victory, how could he rally the support of the entire army? How would he dare to take such a risky move?

Xiaao Hongchen glanced up at Emperor Jianyuan: "It’s the Star Constellation Immortal Sect!"

His voice was strained: "Just now, the Star Constellation Immortal Sect deployed ninety thousand elite Martial Cultivators and seven thousand sorcerers to join under Zhoou Liangchen’s command."

The main mountain of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect lies southwest of Hui State, not far from the battlefield.

Hence, by the time the Police Pool of Blood reacted, the ninety thousand Martial Cultivators of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect had already arrived at the battlefield. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Emperor Jianyuan’s eyes widened momentarily, then he slightly curled his lips, displaying a hint of sarcasm: "So the Star Constellation Immortal Sect has made up their mind to side with Chu Xisheng? Ninety thousand elites? This is nearly a full-scale mobilization of the sect. Zhou Zhi, oh Zhou Zhi, I’ve already been quite lenient with you and the Star Constellation Immortal Sect, so why are you so unwise?"

At this moment, he sensed something and directed his gaze forward.

Within the thick fog fifteen miles away stood a youth of about twenty, clad in a plain white robe, with delicate features and an ethereal aura, not unlike a mortal being.

——He was none other than "Picking Stars and Moon" Zhou Zhi, the master of the Star Constellation Immortal Sect!
