Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Power of Withering Glory
A strange laugh sounded, and the corpse qi of the pond in the north surged, and a demon cultivator swept through the void and quickly approached.
Although its body is not a foreign beast or the like, but a human form, it is obviously not an ordinary human bloodline, otherwise it would never be able to achieve such a terrifying superiority.
Before he was born, he must be a strong man with the blood of a thin giant in his body.
This demon cultivator is obviously also in the camp under the command of the "Demon Corpse Emperor", and he is also a "golden corpse" who has also reached the realm of the "Emperor Rank".
Gao Zhangxu's body was full of gold, and it was majestic. Although it was not as good as the "Bone Emperor Marshal" that Xiao Chen had encountered before, one of the three major bone generals under the command of the Bone Monarch, he was by no means under the Emperor-level resentful spirit who wanted to take the purple holy flower at the moment.
Even if they are both in the realm of emperor-level golden corpses, the strength of the demon cultivators is still very different sometimes.
That "Bone Emperor Shuai" was obviously already in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank.
And the "golden corpse" and "resentful spirit" in front of him, although they are also emperor ranks, are only in the early stage.
is not as handsome as the skeleton emperor, but the two are also equal.
Suddenly changed, Xiao Chen in the pool liquid was surprised, and he was slightly stunned and immediately became ecstatic.
They even began to wonder if the emperor-level resentful spirits in the sky had forgotten to look at the imperial calendar when they went out today.
When the Holy Flower saw his hand, he actually had another opponent, and he was still a golden corpse of the same emperor rank.
That's not good!
In a blink of an eye, the golden corpse that swept through the air was already close in the blink of an eye, and the expression of the fierce beast transformed by the true body of the resentful spirit was instantly gloomy, while Xiao Chen, who was in the pool below, was so happy that he almost jumped out.
The war broke out again, and a fierce wind immediately raged above the surface of the pool within a radius of miles.
Xiao Chen cautiously sank a few feet from himself, so as not to be affected by the "black gun".
A pillar of incense time passed quickly.
The two emperor-level powerhouses in the sky were fighting in full swing, and for a while, it was obvious that no one could help anyone. Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.
The more evenly matched, the more he was happy to see it!
Otherwise, you won't get the benefit of the zuihou fisherman!
In the distance, from time to time, there were still some demon cultivators who were attracted by the aura of the great battle, and they quietly retreated after looking at it from a distance.
The strongest of them is just a silver skeleton of the emperor rank.
How dare you get closer?
The emperor-level powerhouse has already stepped into the second small realm of the second step of the three realms of the path of cultivation. Further up, there is the peak powerhouse of the spirit level continent.
Naturally, there can't be as many ants crossing the street!
Even in the Hades Corpse Sect, except for the seventeen Spirit Rank Elders, all the second-generation disciples were only forty-eight Golden Corpse Emperor Rank, and among the next three generations of disciples, there was only Song Zhang.
After the meal passed, the war was still going on, and for a while, it was difficult to see even the superiority and inferiority.
But the battle is clearly heating up.
The strong current stirred down in mid-air became more and more fierce every moment, and the black fluid on the surface of the pool was stirred by the invisible coercion, setting off pieces of black waves.
Xiao Chen was forced to dive again and again, and at this moment he was nearly ten zhang away from the surface of the pool.
Even the purple sacred flower that extended from the mouthparts of a certain strange beast was swaying violently by the strong wind, like a flat boat in the angry sea.
The pool liquid is pitch black, and his body is far away from the surface of the pool, although Xiao Chen can't see it, but he quietly releases a wisp of consciousness, but he can also understand the general situation above.
Inadvertently "swept" the holy flower, and the scene captured by his consciousness and divine thoughts made his face change dramatically in an instant.
In the sight, the demonic holy flower swaying in the strong wind, at this moment, it seems that some kind of ominous thing has happened, and its blooming petals are actually wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As if the flowering period had passed and was about to die, some small purple points of light were escaping from it, with a psychedelic gesture, curling into the space.
Above the surface of the pool, the emperor spirit in the great war was the first to discover this situation.
"Truly...... The Holy Flower has begun to transform into a Taoist, so none of us can think of it......"
In the midst of the strange laughter, the emperor spirit seemed to have lost interest in the battle situation, and his dreamlike body suddenly retreated, and he had already fled towards the pond in the distance.
"Alas, it's a pity ......"
The golden corpse was suspended in mid-air, and he lowered his head to look at the holy flower below, which had withered by nearly a third, and shook his head to stop being nostalgic, and quickly disappeared.
Suddenly reborn with such a mutation, Xiao Chen, who was lurking in the pool liquid, really felt dumbfounded.
It wasn't until the two emperor-rank powerhouses were all far away that they quickly dived up and quickly approached the purple holy flower.
At the same time, a piece of information in the memory of the mind quickly became apparent.
Transform the way!
A very strange word, not only on strange objects such as the flower of Hadesara.
This is also the case for some cultivators, but of course, it is very rare.
As for what exactly this so-called "transformation path" is, the memory in my mind is not understood.
I only know that once the Stygian Flower begins to turn into a path and wither, this process is irreversible.
It's no wonder that the Firebeard Zombie Slave needs such a large amount of Hadestala flowers, and even uses the strength of the Underworld Corpse Sect to find it, it is estimated that it is because of this irreversible and strange "transformation path" that has led to the need for a large amount of this flower.
Soon, before Xiao Chen came to the Purple Holy Flower, some small purple energy points of light were constantly escaping, although it was beautiful to look at, but the Purple Flower had shrunk by a third.
After a little hesitation, Xiao Chen knocked the head of the strange beast open, and sure enough, he saw that there was a small purple crystal inside, which was tightly wrapped by some roots extending from the bottom of the purple holy flower stem.
It's just that this crystal is much smaller than the dark crystals that Xiao Chen found before, only the size of a soybean, and it seems that most of the energy has been used to give birth to the dark flower.
The Stygian Crystal is indeed the seed of the Flower of Hades.
There had been this speculation before, but after confirming it now, Xiao Chen only felt that his heart moved, and he faintly seemed to touch something.
Not only is this process irreversible, in fact, it is no longer possible to refine the Flower before it has completely withered.
The Immortal Flower that began to transform into a Dao, like the Immortal Crystal that gave birth to a flower, instantly became a chicken rib that could not be refined. This has long been common knowledge, and the memory in my mind contains these messages.
If it weren't for that, the previous Golden Corpse and Emperor Spirit would not have left resolutely.
But for Xiao Chen, who could even refine the Stygian Crystal energy quickly, this was obviously not a problem.
In order to prevent all the energy from being wasted after it completely transformed into a Dao, he decided to refine the purple holy flower as soon as possible.
Finding a small skeleton island nearby, Xiao Chen held the purple holy flower in a hidden area, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and held the flower, and began to operate the corpse energy in his body.
Kurong Gu Jue urged, and the black and white light ball in his mind immediately spun rapidly, and some black and white rune filaments wandered out of it, escaping along the meridians in Xiao Chen's body towards his hands.
Soon, strands of black and white filaments entered the purple sacred flower through the acupuncture points in the palm.
The purple energy in the holy flower was quickly absorbed by the filaments little by little, and traced back towards Xiao Chen's palm, and the strange black and white filaments were almost like catheters, as if they were sucking energy.
After these purple energies traced back to the black and white ball of light, after the transformation, some filaments immediately spread out from it, escaping in all directions, quickly and continuously nourishing Xiao Chen's skin, flesh, muscles and bones.
Time passed quietly.
After the meal, the purple sacred flower was much smaller, only about a third of the original, and it looked completely like a delicate flower that had just begun to bloom. In the meantime, most of the energy has been lost.
However, what Xiao Chen absorbed was only a few of them, and during the time of this meal, the process of transforming into the Dao was still continuing, and most of the energy dissipated in the void.
But for some reason, faintly, the speed of this flower transformation path became slower and slower, and the purple light spots that escaped from the flower bones and scattered in the air became fewer and fewer, and at this moment, it finally stopped completely.
The black and white filaments of the black and white ball of light in Xiao Chen's mind contained the power of withering glory, and the purple holy flower seemed to have undergone some kind of mysterious change under its influence, and the strange transformation path actually stopped halfway.
"Brush!"
A silent breath suddenly appeared from Xiao Chen's body, and his originally swarthy body suddenly underwent some changes, faintly revealing a heavy bronze color.
The Iron Corpse is finally a thing of the past!
Right now, under the nourishment of the purple holy flower energy, the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones were finally completely forged and solidified.
At this moment, his realm broke through again, and he finally entered the realm of "King-level Bronze Corpse".
The eyes opened, and a strong surprise burst out from it.
Xiao Chen jumped up from the skeleton ground, looking his body up and down excitedly.
Although there is still no heartbeat, it does not look like a living person.
But now, he is very different from the original image of the withered corpse.
The bronzed body skin exudes a liliang and condensed aura, the muscles are full and powerful, and the whole is a big man in the prime of life and with a strong physique!
Inadvertently swept the purple holy flower in his hand, Xiao Chen's whole person was immediately stunned.
What appeared in my eyes was a purple flower bone, and the buds had just begun to bloom slightly, and it looked very cute. Although it seems to be only one-third of its original size, the strange transformation path has obviously stopped completely.
"This is the secret of withering glory...... What the hell is it? And that old thing ...... Long Jiu."
Stunned, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that his master did not seem to be as simple as he knew at the beginning, this withering glory ancient recipe was so strange and extraordinary, it had been in his hands for thousands of years, how could it be impossible to break something?
With the doubts in his heart, he carefully hoped to take the Stygian Flower into his arms, and in a flash, he left the Skeleton Island, and swept towards the area occupied by the Corpse Sect, and when he reached the realm of the Bronze Corpse of the King Rank, he was already able to skim at a low altitude for a short time, Xiao Chen's speed increased a lot, and in only half a day, a familiar Skeleton Island appeared in front of him......
