Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind.

Following the previous memory.

Lou Yi transformed into a piece of lifeless mud in the swamp.

After accidentally absorbing the essence blood dropped during a battle of terrifying existences in the sky, it gained intelligence and evolved into a sprite.

Through the long years, this sprite devoured living creatures in its domain, absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, evolving from sprite to monster and finally into a demon.

And discovered that it possessed the ability to split its body.

Each split body started very weak.

But they could continue cultivating to grow and could approach or even reach the original level…

The memory abruptly stopped at this point.

Lou Yi opened his eyes.

In the void, a vast amount of energy surged into his body, frantically transforming every part of it.

Causing billions upon billions of cells throughout his body to undergo rapid metamorphosis, mutation, iteration, gene code being re-edited…

The violent change brought by the ascension of the splitting talent surprised even Lou Yi.

He had already separated from other teammates, arriving at a remote location.

The temperature of his entire body rapidly skyrocketed, quickly reaching an extremely terrifying level.

His clothes melted away easily, turning his body into a crimson red.

Like a semi-transparent red crystal, with internal organs, blood vessels, meridians, and bones visible.

A large amount of white steam was expelled from his pores, making his whole body enveloped in steam.

Even within a radius of a few miles, it formed a hazy white mist area, repelling the naturally present red mist of the abyss.

’Boom boom boom!’

His Qi-blood circulated at a speed a hundred times or even a thousand times faster than before, making an thunderous noise akin to a waterfall crashing down, an impressive momentum.

After the complete transformation, Lou Yi felt that the toughness and strength of his body had improved even more than before.

He looked at the Attribute Panel.

The introduction of the splitting talent showed some changes.

Splitting (Passive): As time progresses, the connection and distance between the split and the main body gradually expand, enhancing effectiveness.

Splitting (Active):

(The split body flesh can form up to three splits.

The initial strength of the split is related to the Qi-blood content of the flesh, initial strength can’t exceed 30% of the true body; subsequent cultivation can break through the bottleneck;

The splinter may inherit most of the Martial Arts skills, magic skills of the original; in terms of talent, up to three can currently be replicated;

The split is completely controlled by the main body, the main body can preset rules to ensure it can operate under those rules even when far away from the main body;

Currently, only three splits can be formed. If a split is annihilated, it will take a month from the last split before it can be recreated…)

’The number of splits has increased, the talents that can be replicated went from one to three, and the cooldown period after consumption has been shortened.’

’The most important thing is, the strength of the split no longer sets a limit, it can improve through cultivation like the main body.’

’If there’s no special opportunity, reaching the level of the main body in the future is unlikely, but getting close should still be achievable.’

’If all three splits approach the level of the main body… and then form the Four-element Array, becoming one, the increase in strength won’t be just a little.’

Thinking of this, Lou Yi’s eyes brightened.

He actively dismantled all defense mechanisms of the body.

At the same time, the right hand became a blade, red Gang Qi overflowed at the edge, then chopping towards the left hand’s index finger.

’Puff!’

A finger fell off.

Before it hit the ground, it transformed into a dense red Qi-blood with no fixed shape.

This Qi-blood began to recombine, reshape, solidify.

After about ten breaths, it became a brand new ’Lou Yi’.

The new split stands nearly seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, his facial features are sharp but with a hint of bewilderment and clarity in his gaze, curiously looking around.

The Qi-blood from the finger comprises less than 1% of the total mass of the main body.

Its strength naturally isn’t remarkable.

Judging by basic strength, it’s only about a hundred thousand jin, still far from the Foundation Establishment level.

When Lou Yi killed Elder Wang head-on, his basic strength had already reached three hundred thousand jin.

With the addition of numerous talents, the final total strength could even double.

However, as long as you give this split body two months, it shouldn’t be difficult to reach 30% of the main body’s level.

Going beyond that, however, would likely require a lot of resources.

Next, Lou Yi prepared to load talents onto this split body.

On the Attribute Panel, a symbol of overlapping squares appeared behind each talent, representing the ability to replicate them.

Lou Yi began contemplating which talents to load.

The Disguise Talent must be added.

First, it prevents being exposed by altering appearance, and second, it prevents others from linking it to the main body.

For the second talent, he chose Monster Power.

Monster Power (Active): Temporarily enhances physical strength by 100%.

Meaning the strongest strength of the split body evolved from a finger has already exceeded two hundred thousand jin.

The third talent, he chose Ride the Wind, allowing this split body’s speed to far exceed the limit of Martial Artists.

As the saying goes, unwavering strength, unmatched speed.

A split body with Monster Power and Ride the Wind talents, its strength is far from simple as it outwardly appears.

If nearing an ordinary Foundation Establishment, it could surely surprise the opponent.

However, without the Talent of Tenacity and Petrification Talent, the split is destined to be fragile, high attack low defense.

But since splits can consume and regenerate, Lou Yi doesn’t much care about their survival.

The split with the Disguise Talent instantly, under the main body’s instruction, began having its flesh continuously sunken and protruding, with bones altering ’Crack Crack’.

Ultimately becoming a youth with a long, narrow face and gloomy expression, not lacking in looks, yet always giving an impression of extreme sinister.

“You, from now on, shall be called Liu Wen,” Lou Yi thought it over and laid out the plan, “Lurk in the nearby Su District, train hard, return when I need you.”

“Good, Liu Wen is a nice name.” The long-faced youth Liu Wen’s lips curled into a sinister smile,

“Since having these looks, it’ll change my style.

From now, I am a treacherous, steady person.”

He bowed to Lou Yi: “I’ll go now, true body, I hope not to receive your summon.”

Lou Yi nodded expressionlessly, starting to create the third split.

Liu Wen is merely the second split.

The first split had long existed, now recovering its strength.

It contains a large amount of Belief Power, its burst battle strength can surpass the current true body.

Unfortunately, it’s unsustainable, use once then it’s wasted, taking several months to recover.

The third split, Lou Yi endowed it with Monster Power and Talent of Tenacity, focused on strength, sturdy resistance.

Its appearance transformed into an enormously muscled, bearded man, looking about thirty, portraying a bold and forthright demeanor.

“You’ll be called Liu Lu.” Lou Yi named him so, ’Lu’ deriving from the rashness of Lu.

“True body, I shall go ahead, summon me at will when needed!” Liu Lu grunted loudly, then swaggered off to the distance.

For both splits, Lou Yi left most unused elixirs, weapons, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Storage Bag for them, hoping to see their changes next time.

Even if they perished, it wouldn’t matter much, just make another one.

As the splits moved far away, Lou Yi also maneuvered their perspectives to observe the surroundings.

Even extending the distance to over a thousand miles still maintained relatively clear senses.

Just like being able to remotely laser focus a 360-degree rotating camera.

Even able to experience the split’s five senses, though Lou Yi usually filters them beforehand, so as not to interfere with the main body’s judgments.

Meanwhile, as Lou Yi improved his cultivation.

The news of Gao Wenxuan’s team being annihilated spread quickly.

Since most of his team members came from the Major Sect in the belly of the Central Continent, it soon caused an uproar in the abyss.
