Putting aside the strength of the Corpse Demon Clan, their innate Divine Ability was able to refine corpses for their own use. These figures that had suddenly emerged from the marsh land were obviously the Corpse Demon’s Corpse Refining Army.
What made Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor fearful was that among the many refined corpses, there was no lack of Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperors!
There weren’t many Half-Saints, only two of them, most likely the accumulation of this Corpse Demon in the Demon Territory.
However, there were actually four Pseudo Emperor refined corpses! Moreover, from the way these four refined corpses were dressed, it was obvious that they had an ancient style to them, as if they were not from the same era as them.
Recalling what this Corpse Demon had just said, Fu Renjie’s expression changed, “This is bad, these must be the corpses of the Seniors who have died here.”
The middle-aged man also came back to his senses and his expression became solemn. No one had expected that in such a short time after entering the Profound Heaven Temple, this Corpse Demon would be able to find so many Pseudo Emperor corpses and refine them.
However, it wasn’t strange. Since the beginning of Heaven and Earth, the Profound Heaven Temple had existed, and the Great Dao struggles had occurred many times. Countless Pseudo Emperors had died here, and Corpse Demons were especially sensitive to powerful corpses, so they naturally had ways to find them.
The physique of a Pseudo Emperor cultivator was strong to begin with, so even if they died countless years ago, by chance, their physique would remain intact.
Although once a corpse was refined into a refined corpse, it would be impossible for it to display its full strength, and it would only be able to display eighty percent of its strength, the number of the Corpse Demon’s Corpse Refining Army was obvious. There were six Pseudo Emperor and Half-Saint Grade Refined Corpse, while the rest were all High-Rank Demon Kings, plus Half-Saint Corpse Demon was eyeing them covetously.
The situation had taken a turn for the worse. Originally, the two of them had been fighting two against one, so even if the Corpse Demon had a large number of Refined Corpse under his command, they would still be able to put up a fight. But now that he had refined four Pseudo Emperor Refine Corpse, the difference in strength between them had been completely overturned.
“This day was a pleasant one,” After summoning his Refined Corpse army, the Corpse Demon calmly stared at Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face, “When you chased after this King, did you ever think you would have such a day!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it towards Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor, as if it had received some kind of order, the surrounding Refined Corpse Army to rush towards them.
Fu Renjie and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, and the moment their Divine Senses connected, they both turned around and rushed towards the direction of a Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse.
Since things had reached this point, they could only try to break out of the encirclement first before making any further plans. The reason they had chosen a Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse was mainly because of the issue of time.
The corpse of the Pseudo Emperor was found by Corpse Demon in the Profound Heaven Temple and had only been refined for a day. Even if he could barely control it, he probably wouldn’t be able to exert too much strength.
Amidst the flashes of lightning and flames, two figures broke through the blockade of a dozen High-Rank Demon King Refined Corpses and arrived in front of the Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse in an instant.
Under the Corpse Demon’s control, the Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse fist smashed towards Fu Renjie.
When this punch was thrown, whether it was Fu Renjie, the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor, or the Corpse Demon Half-Saint, all of them couldn’t help frowning slightly. The power of this punch seemed…
In the next instant, two figures flashed past and the Pseudo Emperor Corpse exploded.
Corpse Demon Half-Saint’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How could…”
In any case, this was still a Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse, even if he had refined it in a hurry, it shouldn’t have been so fragile. When he found these corpses, it was as if he had found a precious treasure, but before he could examine them carefully, he was discovered by Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor. They had chased him all the way here and refined the body while escaping, so he wasn’t too clear about the situation with these Pseudo Emperor corpses.
It was only at this moment that he discovered that what he regarded as a precious treasure was actually as thin as paper.
Fu Renjie and the middle-aged man obviously noticed this as well, so after breaking through the encirclement, the two of them didn’t immediately leave. Instead, they glanced at each other before turning around and scattering, each of them rushing towards a Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse.
After two loud booms, the two Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse that Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor had set their eyes on burst apart, completely unable to withstand a single blow.
Although the Refined Corpse was emitting the aura of a Pseudo Emperor, it was just an appearance. It was like an empty shell.
It was laughable that this Half-Saint Corpse Demon even considered these four Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse his trump cards.
Looking at the expression of this Half-Saint Corpse Demon, the two of them knew that he was also quite surprised.
Fu Renjie smiled lightly and looked towards the Corpse Demon, “Now you’re in trouble!”
Originally, he had thought that the other party had turned the tables on him and he could only flee, but who would have thought that such an accident would occur? Without the four Pseudo Emperor Refined Corpse, how could he and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor fear the Corpse Demon?
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed and the four Pseudo Emperor corpses had long since decayed… Fu Renjie thought.
The Corpse Demon also noticed that something was wrong, and with a single thought, the remaining Refined Corpse Army rushed towards Fu Renjie and the middle-aged Pseudo Emperor while he turned around and fled.
Listening to the sounds coming from behind him and feeling the disappearance of the seals, the Corpse Demon Half-Saint’s heart was dripping blood! The Refined Corpse Army was his lifelong collection, and this time he was afraid he would have to spend all of it with them. Without this Refined Corpse Army, his strength would fall greatly.
Deep in his heart, there was only one question. What exactly was going on with the four Pseudo Emperor Corpses he had found? Even if they had been corroded over the course of countless years, they shouldn’t have been so weak. However, after an emergency investigation, he discovered that the bodies of the last Pseudo Emperor Corpse had long since decayed.
Having lost so many times, he no longer cared about the fate of his Refined Corpse Army. Now, the only thing he could do was find his companions as soon as possible and reunite with his companions from the Demon Territory.
…
As the screams rang out, the powerful life force fluctuations slowly died down. On a rolling grassland, a Stone Demon Half-Saint was half-kneeling on the ground, his entire body covered in wounds of various sizes, blood dripping from his wounds, the remnants of a great battle were all around him.
Although he was seriously injured, the Stone Demon Half-Saint wouldn’t die for a while. If he was given a chance to heal, he might be able to fully recover.
Unfortunately, this was the Profound Heaven Temple, the place where the Great Dao competition was fought. Enemies were everywhere, so who would give him time to recover?
Beside him, three figures surrounded him in a triangular formation, their auras firmly locking him in place. If the Stone Demon were to make any unusual movements, it would definitely suffer a violent blow.
These three people were obviously the Star Boundary’s Three Pseudo Emperors. If it weren’t for the three of them working together, they wouldn’t have been able to force a Half-Saint into such a desperate situation so quickly.
“Tell the Profound Heaven Temple’s Secret, I’ll give you a quick death.”
One of the Pseudo Emperors coldly spoke, just like how Yang Kai had asked the Half-Saint from the Demon Race about the Profound Heaven Temple, there were many other Pseudo Emperors who had similar thoughts. Everyone knew that there was a Can Ye from the Demon Territory who had participated in the Great Dao Competition and entered the Profound Heaven Temple. As a former Star Boundary Great Emperor, he definitely knew the secrets of the Profound Heaven Temple.
Whatever he knew, he would certainly inform the Half Saints who had entered.
“Heh heh heh heh…” The Stone Demon Half Saint’s appearance was extremely miserable, but he still smiled when he heard this, a look of arrogance appearing on his face as he swept his eyes over the three people surrounding him and said in a hoarse voice, “There is only one secret, who should I tell?”
The old man coldly snorted, “Don’t try to sow discord between us, quickly tell us the truth, otherwise we’ll make you wish you were dead!”
Stone Demon stared at him coldly, “I won’t say anything, what can you do about it?”
“Stubborn fool!” The old man coldly snorted before turning to the old man beside him and saying, “Old Chen, among the three of us, your Divine Soul is the strongest, so I’ll have to trouble you.”
The old man called Old Chen nodded and said, “It’s only right. Rest assured, if i found anything, this old master swears with his Martial Dao heart that he will share it with you without holding anything back.”
“Many thanks, Old Chen,” The two men said in unison.
“I ask the two of you to stand guard. Although this bastard is like an arrow at the end of its flight, he is still a Half-Saint and cannot be underestimated.” Old Chen stepped forward and walked towards Stone Demon.
“It’s only natural,” The two people beside him responded and also stepped forward.
A look of panic appeared on Stone Demon’s face as he grit his teeth and shouted, “You want to search my soul? Dream on!”
Saying so, a dangerous aura immediately burst out from his body.
“Attack!” A young woman shouted, her figure flashing as she arrived next to the Stone Demon and pointed her slender jade finger towards his forehead. At the same time, the other man let out a light cry. This sound was extremely strange, like the cry of a bird, but it was also extremely rhythmic.
As the jade finger touched his forehead, the aura around the Stone Demon’s body suddenly decreased greatly. After hearing this voice, the struggling look on the Stone Demon’s face became weaker and his dangerous aura calmed down.
Seeing this, Old Chen nodded slightly and walked over to the Stone Demon Half-Saint, shouting, “Look into my eyes!”
The voice seemed to contain a strange power. Stone Demon, who was already suppressed by the two Pseudo Emperors, couldn’t help turning to look at Old Chen when he heard this voice. As soon as he saw Old Chen’s eyes, he saw that they had turned into two spirals that seemed capable of swallowing one’s soul.
Stone Demon’s expression instantly became blank.
If he was in his peak state, even if Old Chen had a Secret Technique, he wouldn’t be able to use it, but the other party had been beaten half to death by the three of them, and now his Divine Soul was being suppressed, so how could he resist Old Chen’s Divine Ability?
When the two Pseudo Emperors saw this scene, they couldn’t help breathing heavily. What secrets were hidden in the Profound Heaven Temple, where the Void Heavenly Cauldron was located, and how to become a Great Emperor? These were all things they desperately wanted to know.
Unfortunately, no one from the Star Boundary could provide an answer, and the Stone Demon in front of them was the best candidate to explore these answers.
It had only been a few days since the start of the Profound Heaven Temple, so as long as they could obtain first-hand information, the three of them would be able to walk in front of most people. At that time, they would see if they could share this information with the other Pseudo Emperors.
