Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Zhao Yu then saw a pitch-black bead, full of cracks, embedded in the chest of True Lord Yue Ling. The dark bead seemed to possess its own spirituality, emitting a strange and evil aura.

Zhao Yu roared, "Spirit Treasure Heavenly Corpse Bead! The spiritual treasure of the True Lord of a Thousand Corpses! It can significantly enhance various demon corpses, raising the level of the corpses by one! White Ghost Emperor, kill it and take out that bead! Don't hold back, even if it shatters, it's okay!"

The True Lord of a Thousand Corpses belonged to the same era as True Lord Yue Ling, a Divinity Transformation True Lord who commanded three powerful demon corpses that terrified the world, his strength only slightly less than that of True Lord Yue Ling.

Back when the True Lord of a Thousand Corpses was weak, True Lord Yue Ling had grievously wounded him, nearly ruining his path of cultivation. It was only later that the True Lord of a Thousand Corpses formed an alliance with the other two Divinity Transformation True Lords to besiege the Mountain Sect.

The White Ghost Emperor split his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and with a bound, turned into a streak of black light rushing towards True Lord Yue Ling.

The figure of True Lord Yue Ling, resembling a corpse, reddened his eyes and split his mouth too, the Heavenly Corpse Bead on his chest radiating a pitch-black, ghostly glow. The corpse energy around his body surged, suddenly exploding with the terrifying presence of a fourth-order middle-grade, and he threw a punch as fast as lightning towards the White Ghost Emperor.

The zombie, naturally strong and explosive, was transformed by True Lord Yue Ling into a corpse demon that was an entire level higher than the White Ghost Emperor, making the burst even more terrifying, and with one strike, the chest of the White Ghost Emperor was directly shattered.

At the moment the White Ghost Emperor was shattered, he turned into countless black vapors and dissipated. His true body appeared ten yards away, his eyes flickering fiercely, utilizing the Illusory Ghost Eyes, huge swathes of black mist rolled towards True Lord Yue Ling.

Zhao Yu immediately brought out the magical treasure, Mountain Seal. Beams of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light brushed against the corpse demon transformed from True Lord Yue Ling.

The corpse demon, brushed by the Earth Magnetism Mystical Light, flashed a brutal light in his eyes. The pitch-black corpse energy shot into the sky, directly shattering the Earth Magnetism Mystical Light.

Zhao Yu's Mountain Seal was merely a superior magical treasure, which had limited effects on a corpse demon like True Lord Yue Ling.

A brutal light flashed in the eyes of True Lord Yue Ling as he glanced at Zhao Yu.

A chill coursed through Zhao Yu's heart, and he immediately used the Earth Escape Technique, burrowing into the ground and frantically fleeing.

A pitch-black afterimage flashed. True Lord Yue Ling almost teleported, appearing just a yard to the left of where Zhao Yu had been, and fiercely punched down.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a world-shaking roar, the entire Spiritual Peak trembled slightly, and a terrifying pit, ten yards deep, appeared on the land.

Zhao Yu, who had already burrowed a hundred yards underground, was also hit by the terrifying earthquake force, his face turned white, and then he continued to move to another location.

Apart from high-level Earth Element Divine Abilities, Wood Element Divine Abilities that counter Earth Attributes, and Spatial Divine Abilities, the Earth Escape Technique was definitely one of the strongest life-saving divine abilities.

The corpse demon, known for its defensive power, speed, and explosive force, was helpless against cultivators burrowing underground. Unless it could smash the entire Spiritual Peak with one punch, it was very difficult to harm Zhao Yu lurking below.

The White Ghost Emperor appeared like a ghost behind True Lord Yue Ling, punching fiercely at the back of the corpse demon transformed from True Lord Yue Ling.

Clang!!

The Ghost Horn of the White Ghost Emperor pierced hard through the skin on True Lord Yue Ling's back, black ghostly energy erupting violently.

The Heavenly Corpse Bead embedded in the chest of True Lord Yue Ling was directly blown away by the terrifying force, shooting a hundred yards away.

True Lord Yue Ling roared furiously, and with a backhand punch, hit the body of the White Ghost Emperor.

The White Ghost Emperor raised his right arm to block it.

Bang!

The right arm of the White Ghost Emperor was smashed by True Lord Yue Ling with one blow, and he turned into a black vapor in an instant, moving to the other side of True Lord Yue Ling, and punching towards True Lord Yue Ling again.

Zhao Yu took advantage of the moment when the White Ghost Emperor was entangled with True Lord Yue Ling, appearing from underground in an instant. With a slap on his storage bag, a pitch-black coffin flew out, and from it, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor leapt out and swallowed the Heavenly Corpse Bead in one gulp.

Zhao Yu grabbed the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor and activated the Earth Escape Technique, instantly retreating underground.

A golden silhouette flickered slightly, and True Lord Yue Ling appeared at the spot where Zhao Yu had escaped into the earth, sending a punch thundering down.

Boom!

The ground was shattered by True Lord Yue Ling's punch, creating a deep hole that reached ten meters down.

Seizing the opportunity, the White Ghost Emperor landed a punch on True Lord Yue Ling's head; the Ghost Horn burst forth instantly and pierced a hole in his skull.

Having landed a successful hit, the White Ghost Emperor swiftly retreated, avoiding True Lord Yue Ling's counterattack.

True Lord Yue Ling, entangled by the White Ghost Emperor, engaged in a fierce battle with him.

Although the White Ghost Emperor's strength and defense were far inferior to that of True Lord Yue Ling, his bizarre speed and Illusion Technique could slightly affect True Lord Yue Ling, who had lost the Heavenly Corpse Bead, managing to barely hold him off.

Zhao Yu hid underground, frantically invoking the power of his Dao Fruit to refine the Heavenly Corpse Bead of True Lord Yue Ling.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, having reached its limit in devouring for the day and unable to continue evolving by consuming Gold Corpses, still managed to rapidly refine and devour the Heavenly Corpse Bead under the force of Zhao Yu's Dao Fruit.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor completely refined the Heavenly Corpse Bead. On its chest, there appeared a pitch-black bead that was much smaller than the Heavenly Corpse Bead.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged, with vast amounts of spiritual energy rolling in from all directions. Mixed with a large amount of death and corpse energy, it formed clusters of pitch-black corpse clouds drifting their way.

"The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor is advancing to the Fourth Order!"

A thought flickered in Zhao Yu's mind, and he grabbed the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor and emerged from underground.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor opened its mouth wide and inhaled, drawing in vast amounts of death and corpse energy from all around, transforming its entire skin into gold and its face into something even more ferocious.

A dozen breaths later, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's evolution was complete.

"Go and deal with him!"

At Zhao Yu's command, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor flickered and charged toward the demon corpse that True Lord Yue Ling had transformed into.

True Lord Yue Ling sent a punch flying toward the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.

Clang!

The fists of the two corpse demons collided, erupting in a terrifying loud noise. The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor was directly blasted a hundred meters away, while True Lord Yue Ling merely swayed slightly, then a crack appeared at the spot on his chest where the Heavenly Corpse Bead was embedded.

The source of True Lord Yue Ling's power as a Fourth Order, Mid-Grade Gold Corpse was that Heavenly Corpse Bead. With the bead taken by the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, he was like water without a source, a tree without roots; every bit of power he used diminished his strength.

After dozens of exchanges, the White Ghost Emperor took advantage of the battle between True Lord Yue Ling and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor to land a punch on True Lord Yue Ling's neck, blowing his head off with one blow.

Seizing the opportunity, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor grabbed True Lord Yue Ling's head, its mouth splitting open wide as it swallowed the head whole, crunching it into pieces and gulping it down.

The headless demon corpse of True Lord Yue Ling struggled for a while before being torn apart by the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor; a gray spirit diagram fell from his Daoist robe.
