Bab 111: Chapter 111: Devouring the Heavenly Corpse (Fanfiction)
With a flick of Yun Yi's palm, the fused black sphere of spiritual energy transformed into a black dragon of energy and shot into the hole on the forehead of the Emerald Snake Venerable.
After the fusion of tens of thousands of souls, this amalgamated soul's energy nearly reached the pinnacle of the mundane realm. Although somewhat impure, it did not hinder the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
At this moment, Yun Yi retrieved a blood-red demon core, the size of a fist, but with energy as vast as the sea. This was a treasured eighth-tier demon core from the Heavenly Snake Mansion. With a flick of his finger, he sent the core into the large cavity in the chest of the Emerald Snake Venerable.
He continued refining the corpse of the Emerald Snake Venerable, simultaneously extracting various ores with different lusters. Using his split focus, he ignited strands of black flame that clung to the ores and began melting them.
Under the terrifying high temperature of the Holy Sky Demon Flame, the ores melted into a dark golden liquid, emanating a mysterious glow in the light of the flame.
With a wave of his hand, the metal liquid slowly covered the puppet's body under Yun Yi's control. As the puppet's form became engulfed by the persistent burning of the black flames, the dark golden liquid impregnated every inch of flesh, causing the surface of the body to shine with a dark golden hue.
As the liquid merged, Yun Yi began manipulating the flames to continue refining the puppet, aiming to find the perfect harmony between the body, the demon core, and the soul. At a certain moment, Yun Yi sensed a peculiar fluctuation emanating from the puppet, his eyes brightening. This instant presented the optimal fusion of the puppet's body, soul, and demon core.
By this stage, the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet was nearing success, only the final step of acknowledgment remained. Thus, he would obtain a lethal weapon with at least nine-star Dou Zong strength and a fearless nature.
However, Yun Yi was not satisfied yet. With a single breath, a Holy Sky Demon Flame flew out, and his left hand formed a seal, drawing continuously in the void. Moments later, the flame exploded under his spiritual control, fusing into the corpse before him.
As the Holy Sky Demon Flame integrated, the once golden glowing corpse instantly turned black, resembling a dark demon god.
With black flames flickering within the puppet's body, a strange power appeared, creating a subtle suction force drawing in ambient spiritual energy continuously.
Seeing this, Yun Yi's eyes flashed. He pinpointed with a finger, sending a seed of the Holy Sky Demon Flame into the demon core within the puppet's chest. As the fire seed entered, Yun Yi quickly formed a complex seal with his hands and uttered a peculiar syllable.
Buzz!
As Yun Yi steadily controlled the integration of the Holy Sky Demon Flame, small dark flames arose on the puppet, writhing as if alive. Eventually, a thin black fire net formed, covering the subcutaneous layer of the puppet.
With the fire net in place, the Emerald Snake Venerable's body trembled, and the soul lingering in its brain shattered upon the sound, dispersing into countless soul fragments flooding its entire body.
Simultaneously, the demon core in the puppet's chest trembled, releasing its violent energy akin to a river breaking its dam, flowing rapidly through the internal meridians.
With the integration of the body, soul, and demon core, a tremendous, emotionless aura erupted from the corpse of the Emerald Snake Venerable.
In the blink of an eye, the aura reached the level of Dou Zong and continued to rise, reaching nine-star Dou Zong, and then breaking through to the Dou Zun level. After achieving Dou Zun, the overwhelming aura slowly receded. Yun Yi sensed a terrifying dormant power within the unremarkably dark puppet.
Yun Yi's fingers drew a complex symbol in the void using his spiritual power. As the symbol formed, it floated to the puppet's forehead, leaving an indelible imprint. The puppet's hollow eyes gradually showed faint traces of life.
The puppet's stiff body moved, bowing its head slightly to Yun Yi in submission. Yun Yi examined the puppet that seemed forged from black iron, then struck its chest with a powerful palm. The blow caused a half-inch deep dent in its extremely hard chest, exposing the golden interior underneath the cracked outer layer.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave spread out like a tide from the contact point, causing cracking spiderweb-like fissures in the ground. Without resistance, the puppet was hurled dozens of meters away, crashing to the ground.
The Heavenly Demon Puppet quickly got up and flew back to Yun Yi, remaining unharmed and invulnerable, a perfect killing machine. Only complete destruction of its core could halt its master's command.
Yun Yi watched the puppet with satisfaction as fine flames appeared around the sunken chest. The surrounding energy was rapidly drawn in, swiftly healing the palm strike's damage. Within half an hour, it would fully regenerate.
He nodded approvingly; the Devouring Heavenly Corpse possessed the Devouring Ancestral Talisman's ability to absorb damage, combined with its formidable physical strength, making it a nightmare to face. Yun Yi's simplified version of the Devouring Heavenly Corpse held similar qualities. If the inner Holy Sky Demon Flame activated, even a six-star Dou Zun would find it tough to deal with the puppet.
"Not bad, I'll call you Devouring Heavenly Corpse!" Yun Yi named the puppet and looked forward where powerful auras clashed. "Time to meet them and execute the next plan!"
He stepped lightly into the void, walking to his chariot. Although he could master space manipulation, becoming a Dou Zong made the process easier.
Roar!
As Yun Yi entered the chariot, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse stood at the front like a loyal guard, emitting a cold aura, ready to attack any enemy. Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King shivered at the menacing presence.
Suppressing his unease, the majestic beast roared and pulled the chariot swiftly towards the horizon.
Boom!
"Lion Sky, fall back now, or the Lion Spirit Sect will meet the same fate as the Heavenly Snake Mansion!"
In the sky, a cold voice emerged from the ceaseless black mist as Qing Hai Venerable spoke with indifference to a sturdy middle-aged man.
The man, swinging a golden broadsword, glanced at the opposing forces and frowned, "Qing Hai, did the Soul Hall truly wipe out the Heavenly Snake Mansion? Our Northwestern Continent is not your backyard!"
Lion Sky feigned concern for the Heavenly Snake Mansion, but in truth, he was stunned by the Soul Hall's swift action. Equal in strength with the Lion Spirit Sect, the three-star Dou Zun Mansion was eradicated swiftly by the Soul Hall without survivors, from Dou Zuns to the weakest.
Learning of this, Lion Sky and other sect leaders banded together to pressure the Soul Hall, fearing they might be next.
Faced with the approaching war angered Lion Sky, Qing Hai frowned secretly. The Soul Hall's efficiency was remarkable.
Yun Yi's command barely passed when a nine-star Dou Zun arrived, distributing three Revered Beginning Pills to three members, each ascending one star level. They knew Yun Yi likely had hidden protection. A nine-star Dou Zun secretly guarding him was respected more for his personal power than his identity.
Now a three-star Dou Zun, Qing Hai was aware that Lion Sky's deeper reserves could tip a real battle against him. In his distress, a domineering voice rang out, "I eliminated the Heavenly Snake Mansion. What will you do about it?"
Qing Hai and his allies trembled at the familiar voice, eagerly looking at the arriving chariot. Unhesitatingly, they respectfully greeted:
"Welcome, Young Hall Master!"
The title stunned Lion Sky and other sect leaders, realizing the approaching chariot belonged to the Soul Hall's Young Hall Master, explaining Qing Hai's audacity.
Yun Yi exited the chariot, eyes blazing as he faced the Northwestern Continent's elite, his voice domineering, "The elimination of the Heavenly Snake Mansion was my command. What will you do about it?"
Lion Sky and others frowned at Yun Yi's imperious tone but restrained their displeasure.
"The Heavenly Snake Mansion was a pillar of our continent, offending no one. Yet, the Soul Hall eradicated it, massacring innocents. Isn't this too tyrannical?" A purple-robed elder beside Lion Sky, Xu Si, spoke displeasingly.
As the Purple Sun Sect leader and a nine-star Dou Zong nearing Dou Zun, Xu Si exited seclusion only upon his sect member's death at the Heavenly Snake Mansion.
Qing Hai's group frowned slightly at his words. Lion Sky subtly retreated behind his comrades, glancing at the black figure beside Yun Yi. Meanwhile, Yun Yi dismissed Xu Si's concerns coldly.
Soul Hall acts require no explanation to others!"
"You…"
"Old man, you talk too much. Kill him!" At his command, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse's eyes glowed red, darting towards Xu Si.
"Not good!"
The attack's speed, beyond expectations, caught Xu Si off guard. He barely raised a hand to defend before the strike shattered his arm, sending him flying. The relentless puppet pursued, breaking Xu Si's bones in several swift strikes, tearing him apart before everyone's horrified eyes.
A nine-star Dou Zong fell in mere breaths to the puppet drenched in blood, appearing as a vengeful demon god, petrifying the onlookers.
"Purple Sun Sect offended the Soul Hall and met its fate. Does anyone object?"
