Chapter 774 - 371: Soul-Guarding Corpse Thunder, a Millionfold Bountiful Harvest [Revised]

Of course.

It's not just the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi.

The corpse body of East Spring Undying Bone, along with the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body, has also undergone a transformation, seemingly influenced by karmic power and the Corpse Demon origin. The previously sparse remnants of Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder within the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body have unexpectedly been enhanced.

However, what was enhanced was not the Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder itself retained in the corpse body, but rather its fusion with the Corpse Demon origin and karmic power, leading to an increase in Divine Thunder within the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body.

If one were to simultaneously utilize the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi and the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body, a certain phenomenon would occur. Within the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, akin to a black cloud, Divine Thunder with a tinge of blackish-red would surge, adding an extra potency to the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi.

No.

It should actually be called Corpse Thunder.

For at this moment, the Jade Splendor Cyan Wood Divine Thunder no longer possesses its inherent abilities, leaning more toward the Corpse Dao.

Dark, vicious, like a snake in the abyss, lurking in the shadows, ready to bite you at any moment.

Infused within the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, these Corpse Thunders become the demons of the Lifeless Abyss. When only the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body is utilized, the Corpse Thunders form a layer of defense, protecting not only the East Spring Undying Bone itself but also its divided soul. Invisibly, the Corpse Thunders have evolved into a kind of Divine Soul Defense Technique.

Moreover, when attacked by a Divine Soul Technique, this Corpse Thunder, like a corrosive worm, can crawl back along the path of the incoming soul attack to counterattack the spellcaster.

To put it simply.

It's a bit like a piece of reflective armor.

It defends while simultaneously reflecting damage.

However, it's hard to judge how much damage this counterattack can truly inflict; only by trying it out can one find out.

But for ordinary Golden Core Zhenrens casting spells, they would likely die from the reflected injuries, while a Golden Core Perfection might barely survive.

Overall, for the current East Spring Undying Bone, it's not particularly useful and at most serves to deter minor threats.

As for the strength of the Corpse Thunder's defense, though untested, Wen Jiu can make a rough assessment through the Divine Sense of East Spring Undying Bone. Just like the late-stage Golden Core Soul Cultivator Mingyi of the East Splendor Divine Palace, even his soul attack techniques would barely shake the Corpse Thunder. If the East Spring Undying Bone were to stack another Three Souls Flawless Technique, then with Mingyi's capability, exhausting his Soul Power wouldn't even budge it.

Regarding whether it can resist the soul attack techniques of a Golden Core Perfection Soul Cultivator, it's hard to say, but presumably, it wouldn't be a problem.

Of course.

This is just a hypothesis.

The real scenario would most likely be that once a Soul Cultivator appears, Wen Jiu would directly use the Soul Capturing Divine Techniques to capture its soul.

Soul Cultivators excel in soul attack techniques; by the late stage of Golden Core, they can threaten Golden Core Perfection, but the Soul Capturing Technique happens to restrain Soul Cultivators.

With the current strength of East Spring Undying Bone, if a Golden Core Perfection Soul Cultivator dared to come, they wouldn't have the chance to act.

Then, Wen Jiu opened the information panel of East Spring Undying Bone.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Three Peak 0/250000—can only improve further after breaking through)]

[Bloodline: Extreme Undying Corpse Demon (No bloodline evolution direction yet)]

[Skills: Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body Tier Three Peak 0/250000, Ghost Skill: Three Rivers Ghost Concealment Second Layer (0/1000), Blood Corpse Escape (Third Layer 0/2000)]

[Path of Extreme Evil·Extreme Evil No-Life Blood Sea True Skill Divine Power·Post-Heaven Realm (Karmic Power 300000/500000)]

"No bloodline evolution direction yet, which means that after the East Spring Undying Bone transforms into the Extreme Undying Corpse Demon, it can still evolve further." Wen Jiu was pleased, though it was just a fleeting joy. Without needing to think, it's clear that subsequent bloodline evolutions will be even more challenging.

After glancing at the other information, Wen Jiu's gaze fell on the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques.

Currently, over seventy percent of the karmic power in the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses had been refined, almost at eighty percent.

Yet, the karmic power value of the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques was only three hundred thousand, which means the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses might not be enough to advance the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques to the Middle Realm.

Wen Jiu frowned and pondered, "This is truly troublesome. Karmic power derives from slaughter, and it must be an extreme, brutal massacre. I can't just slaughter cultivators for the Extreme Evil Blood Sea True Technique Divine Techniques, can I?"

After pondering for a moment, Wen Jiu murmured again, "Forget it, not worth overthinking. Whatever karmic power I can gather from the Nine Corpse Infant Fetuses, I'll take it. When there's an opportunity, I'll advance. When there isn't, I'll patiently wait for one."

He still had plenty of time.

No need to rush.

He would eventually encounter situations like Soulless True Monarch again.

You accumulate karmic power through slaughter.

I'll kill you and steal your karmic power.

Strictly speaking, this even counts as a good deed, perhaps earning him praise and acknowledgment later on.

Setting aside those thoughts.

Wen Jiu looked at the surplus after devouring the True Spirit Demon Tree.

[True Spirit Demonic Qi: 3,500,000]

Seven True Spirit Demon Trees.

They collectively yielded three million five hundred thousand True Spirit Demonic Qi.

When Wen Jiu tried to use them on other Four Corpses and Five Ghosts, he discovered that the True Spirit Demonic Qi could only be used to improve the Corpse Nurturing and Ghost Cultivation experience.

It couldn't be used to enhance bloodlines.

However, on the whole, a surplus of three million five hundred thousand True Spirit Demonic Qi is an exceedingly tremendous gain.

For context, nowadays, whether it's Three Thousand Blood Inks or the Five Ghosts, advancing a stage requires only a hundred thousand experience at most. Without the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, they may not be able to consume and grow fat in one go, but with enough time to digest three million five hundred thousand True Spirit Demonic Qi, the growth would be colossal.

Furthermore, with such an abundant amount of True Spirit Demonic Qi, he no longer needed to waste time and energy cultivating things like the Blood Corpse Mushroom, requiring only to focus on nurturing the Celestial Yin Demon Blood Medicine to enhance the bloodlines of the Four Corpses and Five Ghosts.

"Now with so much True Spirit Demonic Qi, once East Spring Undying Bone leaves the West Mountain Floating Domain to seek a Tier-Breaking Land, I can then craft another trusted corpse companion!" Wen Jiu's gaze swept past the information panels of the Three Thousand Blood Inks, Blood Demon Undying Bone, Formless Demon Corpse, and the Five Yin Ghosts, immediately opting to enhance their Ghost Cultivation and Corpse Nurturing experience, preparing to see over time which among them showed the most promising results.
