Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 906
Chapter 906
A red-robed man holding a bone staff flew into the air . He was emaciated, without the slightest bit of flesh on his face . He looked like a skeleton, as if all his blood had been sucked dry .
The bone staff had an egg-sized skull at the top . It looked like a human skull, but a human skull couldn’t be that small .
He immediately released his aura, and black qi surged around his body . His aura contained a sensation of rot . When that was added to his appearance, he looked like a zombie that had just crawled out of its coffin .
The black qi behind him gradually formed nine images . Each one of them floated in the sky . Space suddenly shook, and nine desiccated corpses appeared behind him . Their skin was also black, and they released an aura of decay .
The images and corpses merged together . An evil and terrifying aura instantly erupted, causing the sky to shake .
“Heavens, those corpses are alive!” someone cried in shock . Those nine corpses had begun to move upon merging with that black qi .
“Girl, why don’t you surrender? We’re both soul cultivators, so your soul attacks are ineffective against me . I’d advise you to just obediently give up,” he said coldly . His voice sounded like the grating of a toenail against a pot .
He was a rank three Celestial and a powerful soul cultivator at that . The nine corpses he had summoned had been Foundation Forging experts when they were alive, and they had been refined into corrupt corpses by him . Although they didn’t have a Foundation Forging expert’s battle power now, the hardness of their bodies and their physical power were shockingly high . Even ordinary Treasure items couldn’t injure them .
And he had nine such powerful corpses . Within the same realm, he had never encountered someone who was his match . So he was viewed very importantly by Xue You, which was why he had been chosen to fight .
“Go ahead and attack . ” Meng Qi shook her head .
“Then I won’t be courteous . ”
The Corrupt expert formed hand seals, and the nine corrupt corpses charged at Meng Qi, punching at her .
What startled everyone was that their movements weren’t stiff at all . They moved as if they were alive .
These corpses were priceless treasures to that expert, and they had come from the Righteous and Corrupt battles . They were the fallen Righteous experts .
The Righteous experts gathered the Corrupt experts’ souls and corpses and used them as tools in trials for their disciples . As for the Corrupt path, they used the Righteous experts’ corpses as tools for battle .
Before entering the Immemorial Path, his sect’s Elders had gifted him nine Foundation Forging experts, letting him refine them into corrupt corpses once he entered Sea Expansion .
Without strong enough Spiritual Strength, he wouldn’t be able to control such powerful corrupt corpses . But with them, he could essentially be counted as an apex figure amongst the Corrupt path’s rank three Celestials .
BOOM!
The nine corpses’ punches smashed into a tower . That tower was thirty meters tall, with a total of nine levels . Meng Qi was standing on the ninth level, indifferently looking at him .
“A protective Treasure item? Hmph, let me see just how long you can keep that up!” sneered the Corrupt expert . He controlled his nine corpses to attack the tower . Each time their fists smashed into the tower, ripples would spread on the tower . Their attacks were unable to reach Meng Qi .
“This is the Soul Suppressing Tower, a middle grade Treasure item . Just what can you do to me?” said Meng Qi lightly . But her expression was a bit unnatural, as if she wasn’t as indifferent as she appeared .
In truth, Meng Qi really was a bit uneasy . She was different than Long Chen . For Long Chen, nonsense lies could pour out of his mouth as soon as he opened it . In fact, his lies were sometimes even more believable than the truth .
But Meng Qi was an obedient child . She had never tricked anyone . However, in order to stall for time, she lied . This Soul Suppressing Tower was actually a high grade Treasure item . That lie made her appear unnatural .
But that unnatural appearance made Xue You and the others think that she wasn’t confident and was trying to cover it up . Furthermore, low grade Treasure items were normally unable to materialize their larger true forms, while middle grade Treasure items normally did materialize true bodies around thirty meters long . This size made them believe that it was a middle grade Treasure item .
However, the truth was that this Soul Suppressing Tower was extremely powerful, and through the item-nourishing technique from the Eastern Wasteland Bell, her connection to it was extremely strong . If she didn’t release its true power, it was very difficult for outsiders to see through its grade .
“Hmph, watch me smash your broken tower . It’s just a middle grade Treasure item . My corrupt corpses can pulverize it with their bare hands,” sneered the Corrupt expert . He had absolute confidence in his corpses .
The corpses crazily attacked without any rhythm . They were like madmen foolishly beating a drum, and it was extremely unpleasant to listen to .
But the concealed Righteous experts didn’t dare make a sound due to Ji Changkong’s orders .
Xiao Fei, Shi Cang, and the other aboriginals were watching nervously . Meng Qi might have told Shi Cang that she was just stalling for time until reinforcements arrived, but he still wasn’t at ease . Hearing the tone from the Corrupt experts, he felt this battle to be extremely unfavorable for Meng Qi . The Corrupt expert was confident in breaking the tower .
The other Corrupt experts calmly watched . Soul cultivators were very rare, so they wanted to see their power . For those newly advanced rank three Celestials, they wanted to see what this fellow relied on to be viewed so importantly by Xue You .
One hour, two hours, three hours . . .
A total of six hours passed, but the tower was still fine . That made the Corrupt experts grow a bit impatient .
“Your corrupt corpses only have this little ability? Don’t tell me you’re planning on hitting it until next year . If that happened, then before that woman was killed, we’d die from this irritating noise,” insulted one Corrupt expert .
Even Xue You was growing impatient as this was taking too long . However, he didn’t say anything because this also had its benefits . Meng Qi’s soul energy was being exhausted .
Using a Treasure item required a vast amount of Spiritual Strength and spiritual yuan . Once she exhausted all her energy, wouldn’t she also be easily captured? This was the best way to capture her alive . It was best to avoid having an accident and getting her killed .
But now, six hours later, Meng Qi was still calmly watching from inside the tower . That leisurely appearance was just one step away from sitting and drinking tea .
Hearing that insult, the fighting Corrupt expert glanced at Xue You . He saw that Xue You was also a bit impatient .
He clenched his teeth and formed new hand seals . The projection of his qi sea appeared behind him, and black qi floated within it . Then it transformed into nine streams that entered the corrupt corpses .
The corrupt corpses began to glow, and their auras grew to a terrifying level . Black runes appeared on their bodies .
Suddenly, their attacks grew to a whole new level . Each time they struck the tower’s barrier, the entire tower would shudder . There were signs of the barrier collapsing .
Meng Qi’s expression finally changed . She formed new hand seals, and the Soul Suppressing tower began to revolve . She had clearly increased her own output of energy .
Everyone’s expressions changed . Now the Corrupt experts understood why this fellow was viewed so importantly by Xue You . After doing this, each of his corrupt corpses was comparable to a rank three Celestial . It was no wonder he was claimed to be the number one expert below the rank four Celestial level . He truly possessed that power .
Shi Cang and the others’ expressions changed . Such battle power was too terrifying, and even Xiao Fei jumped . He was a rank three Celestial, but because of the curse, his combat power could only be compared to an acquired rank three Celestial . He would definitely lose against an innate rank three Celestial . Thus, each attack from the nine corrupt corpses could be fatal to him . He finally experienced the terror of invaders .
It was no wonder the invaders would invade their territories after the spiritual qi eruption . It was because they had the power to and didn’t need to have any misgivings .
Thinking of that, Xiao Fei’s hatred for the heavens surged . He wanted to be like Long Chen and tear them apart .
Explosive sounds shook the sky . The tower was now revolving, as both sides began to use their full power . One wanted to break their way through their opponent’s defense, while the other was pushing herself to her full power, her face slightly pale as she bitterly endured .
Another six hours passed . The Corrupt expert was sweating . This endurance was too shocking . The only thing that comforted him was that Meng Qi’s face was also getting paler .
Another six hours passed . The Corrupt expert’s body was quivering . He was clearly overdrafting his power and had to be under immense pressure .
As for Meng Qi, she had clearly reached the point of a lamp with no oil . The Soul Suppressing Tower was revolving slower now, and its barrier was growing dimmer and dimmer . She was like a candle flickering in the wind, one that might be extinguished at any moment .
“No wonder Long Chen likes to be mischievous all the time, it really is fun . ” While Meng Qi ‘bitterly endured’, an indescribable delight appeared in her heart . That was pride in playing everyone else .
As the saying went, following good examples was hard, but following a bad example was as simple as a single slip . There was no need for a teacher to teach you . You would quickly manage to see the way and be engrossed by that moving feeling .
Time passed bit by bit, and the flickering candle in the wind was still burning tenaciously . People were holding their breath as they waited for it to extinguish, but it refused to go out .
“What is going on? It’s been a whole day?!” Suddenly, an expert looked up at the sky and felt that something was off .
Due to the tense atmosphere, they hadn’t sensed the flow of time . The only exception was the one fighting . He had felt this day to be as long as a year, and he was absolutely exhausted . But his opponent was still bitterly enduring, so he couldn’t help but curse . If this continued, he would exhaust himself to death .
Ji Changkong was still watching in his hidden room . He hadn’t cared particularly at the beginning . If they wanted to exhaust themselves, then they could exhaust themselves . In any case, he was just waiting for his prey to enter his net .
But as more and more time passed, he felt an inexplicable jitteriness . That made him uncomfortable . Now that a whole day had passed, he wasn’t able to endure it any longer . That feeling of unease was extremely intense now .
“Don’t bother with the Corrupt experts . Two rank three Celestials, go out and kill a portion of the aboriginals!” ordered Ji Changkong . He couldn’t let that idiot Xue You ruin his plan .
Two figures flew out . The aura of rank three Celestials erupted as they shot toward the aboriginals .
Two rays of terrifying Sword Qi slashed toward the aboriginals . Xiao Fei and Shi Cang were startled and hastily defended with their full power . As a result, they were sent flying by the impact . They were under the suppression of the curse here and unable to retaliate .
“Die you inferior aboriginals!”
The two Righteous experts shouted and moved in for the kill . But they had just raised their weapons when sword-light flashed .
It was simply a flash . The two experts didn’t even have time to take out their defensive Treasure items before they were turned to dust .
