Chapter 823 - 395: Extreme Corpse Infant, Demon Monarch Reveals Himself (2)

Chapter 823: Chapter 395: Extreme Corpse Infant, Demon Monarch Reveals Himself (2)

As the Corpse Infant gradually grew, the Three Thousand Blood Inks, Blood Demon Undying Bone Corpse Qi, and Demon Corpse Qi were completely consumed within two hours.

The Five Yin Ghosts were slightly better, sustaining for four days before being drained dry. Wen Jiu originally planned to use the Nine Abyss Netherworld’s Nine Nether Qi, but when the Five Yin Ghosts were drained, the fusion and growth were finally completely concluded.

The Nascent Soul had started to take shape!

Upon internal observation, the Extreme Corpse Infant had transformed into a miniature version of the East Spring Undying Bone.

It was also another East Spring Undying Bone, possessing both Divine Sense and Divine Soul, capable of incorporating all attributes of the East Spring Undying Bone, whether it be Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi or Corpse Demon Power.

The current East Spring Undying Bone seemed more like a simple shell, a vessel that could be discarded at any time.

The East Spring Undying Bone Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body, or just the Undying Bone, had become replaceable items.

If a more powerful corpse body were available, the current East Spring Undying Bone could change at a moment’s notice.

Such a pity.

However, the Corpse Infant’s corpse qi and karmic power are too heavy, preventing it from truly integrating into a human cultivator’s physical body.

Once integrated, the hostile body would once again turn into a zombie due to the Corpse Infant’s erosion.

Still, some new possibilities have emerged.

If the Extreme Corpse Infant were sent into a beast body that was once at Tier Four Peak, the East Spring Undying Bone could thereby transform into a corpse demon with a Tier Four Peak corpse body. Yet, this is only theoretical.

Whether it can bear the terrifying demonic power of a Tier Four Peak beast body and control it is not yet clear.

It is similar to the difficulty early-stage Golden Core cultivators have with controlling Tier Three High-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Though Tier Four Peak might be impossible, but with Tier Four Middle Realm or even higher realms, the Extreme Corpse Infant has high potential for success.

"From today, as long as a suitable corpse body exists, or if I do not encounter superseding entities that can kill Nascent Souls, the East Spring Undying Bone will essentially stand on a ground of immortality."

Wen Jiu couldn’t hide the joy in his heart.

As for the possibility of Nascent Soul being forcibly killed, truthfully, Wen Jiu isn’t very concerned, as daily accounting shows the Nascent Soul can explode at many times its speed once separated from the physical body.

As long as he only engages with opponents of the same realm, there is no such possibility.

Middle Stage Nascent Soul?

No matter if he can win or not, he will not engage recklessly.

Everything awaits the time when absolute dominance can be ensured.

After all, time is plentiful.

"The initial formation of the Nascent Soul is complete; next comes crossing the tribulation... the real highlight is about to begin!" With that said, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to gaze upon the Nine Abyss Netherworld.

...

Meanwhile, Master Witch, Du Yueqing, and others, who had been waiting for over a month, became increasingly nervous and anxious.

"A month has passed, and as Master mentioned, the first step of the Golden Core Infant transformation should take roughly this time.

If the Nascent Soul’s power doesn’t dissipate and instead becomes increasingly stable, then there is only one possibility!" Du Yueqing’s heart was full of joy.

Because the Nascent Soul’s power she sensed was as stable as Mount Tai, without any fluctuations.

As several others, including Master Witch and the Great Palace Master, felt this, much of the tension and anxiety in their hearts instantly dissipated.

Especially upon hearing Du Yueqing’s words, they were exceptionally delighted.

Master Witch exclaimed joyfully, "So, this senior already had a certain degree of confidence, no wonder he forbade us from contacting outsiders."

"Throughout the thousands of years of Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion’s history, many have reached Golden Core Perfection, yet few truly step into Golden Core Infant transformation, and successful ones are rare."

The Great Palace Master also sighed repeatedly.

Though he is not of Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, he knows that in the past millennia Yuanbao True Monarch was the only one to emerge from their ranks.

"If senior can survive the thunder tribulation, Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion will give birth to its second Nascent Soul True Monarch," Master Witch chimed in.

Du Yueqing’s expression suddenly turned solemn.

Then, he will be under the Nascent Soul’s command!

However, she didn’t publicly express this thought but kept it buried within her heart.

But there were some words she found hard to hold back.

"In the lower Tongtian River, the righteous path has six major Nascent Soul powers, with Sea Suppressing Mountain exclusively ranking first with two True Monarchs.

The setup has remained unchanged for two to three millennia.

If senior successfully crosses the tribulation, then our Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion will also boast dual Nascent Souls, standing equal with Sea Suppressing Mountain!"

Dual Nascent Souls.

If such a grand spectacle should indeed occur, Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion will reach new heights for millennia to come!

Accompanying Du Yueqing’s exclamation, Master Witch’s entourage, including Gongyang Fu, displayed incomparable brilliance on their faces.

Yet inwardly, Gongyang Fu lamented, "Such a pity, if He Jiu wasn’t dead and had cultivated the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill, I would be able to steadily advance further, having credentials to cling to Master’s thigh... What a pity indeed."

Not only Gongyang Fu felt this way, Du Yueqing also shared similar sentiments.

"If I could grasp this opportunity, my future would certainly be limitless; but if not..."

Du Yueqing spoke inwardly.

Simultaneously, a sense of crisis emerged, and in her heart, the thought of cultivating to the Late Stage of the Golden Core began to multiply boundlessly, fearing her own replacement.

But in the next moment, Master Witch suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Thunder clouds are forming!"

Upon hearing, Du Yueqing quickly looked, but with just a glance, she suddenly froze in place, "What’s going on here?"

...

Lifeless Abyss.

Amidst seemingly endless gray-white Three Thousand Lifeless Lakes, a massive demon hall is situated at its core.

Below the demon hall, three black Flood Dragons, each possessing an aura reaching Tier Three Peak, are swimming in the Three Thousand Lifeless Lakes.

No matter how they swam, they never dared approach the demon hall, seemingly fearing something incredibly terrifying within.

Before long, several demon cultivators appeared in mid-air over the Three Thousand Lifeless Lakes, their cultivation evidently at Demon Pill Perfection.

They dared not near it.

Only kneeling down from ten thousand feet away.

"Reporting to Demon Monarch, Nascent Soul aura suddenly surged within the thirty thousand miles of Three Thousand Lifeless Lakes.

Our people have investigated for over half a month and discovered a hidden Nine Abysses entrance, from which the Nascent Soul aura emerged.

Just now as well, our people reported that the Nascent Soul aura has grown increasingly strong!" a Demon Pill Perfect demon cultivator quickly spoke.

Once those words fell.

Several breaths later, a chilling voice emanated from beyond the demon hall, "Increasingly interesting.

Behind the ones stealing the True Spirit Demon Tree Mother Tree lies a Nascent Soul cultivator mastering Celestial Secret Divine Techniques.

And now, someone inside the Nine Abysses is attempting to reach Nascent Soul.

The lower Tongtian River hasn’t been this lively in hundreds of years."

The Demon Pill Perfect demon cultivator promptly inquired, "Demon Monarch, our people have already ventured into the Nine Abysses for investigation; news should soon arrive.

What should our next move be?

Destroy?

Or should we simply observe?"

"No need to rush; the initial step of Golden Core Infant transformation isn’t easily successful, regardless of how powerful the Nascent Soul aura may seem.

For thousands of years, countless have tried to reach Nascent Soul, yet few succeed.

First, find the place where the Nascent Soul is being attempted; if it isn’t of the Demon Dao, destroy his hopes no matter who he is." The chilling voice came again from within the demon hall, but seemed to regard the situation as insignificant.

Just as the few prepared to take action, the demon hall’s voice arose once more.

"Should that person be fortunate enough to leave behind a whole corpse, remember to bring it back... Making the effort to strike Nascent Soul within the Nine Abysses, I am quite curious about his identity."

"Understood!"

Several Demon Pill Perfect demon cultivators immediately nodded.

Yet right as they nodded, their expressions abruptly altered, immediately speaking out in shock.

"Demon Monarch, we’ve just received a transmission informing us that our people have already discovered the place where the attempt for Nascent Soul is being made within the First Abyss.

But the thunder tribulation has appeared!

Moreover, there are ten thunder cloud types!"

As the Demon Pill Perfect cultivators cried out in astonishment, the originally calm Nascent Soul Demon Monarch within the demon hall couldn’t remain seated.

Instantly arriving before them.

"What did you say?

Ten thunder cloud types?"

Hidden within a mass of demonic qi, the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
