Chapter 1762: with translation of chapter title

"You two are bullying people too much." Bai Zhongsheng was furious; these two wanted to monopolize the corpse-born lotus, which he had painstakingly cultivated and was about to mature. These people came to pluck peaches— a scholar may be killed but not insulted.

They went too far; Bai'e Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng could not forgive them. He quickly pressed his hands to the ground, gathering countless corpse qi around him. Beneath the surface, formation lines appeared; a huge Formation connected to the outside, the entire cave heaven becoming part of the lines.

The Corpse Refining Sect outside was likewise, forming a huge Formation; corpse qi continually gathered on his body, began to continually condense; Bai Zhongsheng's cultivation kept rising as he drew the Formation's corpse qi and resentment qi to strengthen himself.

"Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation."

"Activate."

Formation, activate— Bai'e Corpse King Bai Zhongsheng's body began to swell, his true form emerging; the Three Tribulations Corpse King form, one of the Corpse Refining Sect's divine abilities, also what he had comprehended.

His height rose to five meters, still climbing, seemingly aiming for ten meters; the speed was fast, in a few breaths he grew another meter; countless corpse qi formed a huge sphere enveloping him, the Formation activated, a powerful suction burst forth, drawing out everyone's corpse qi and vitality.

Any living being inside the Formation will be drained by it—whether vitality, blood, or true qi—will be sucked dry, nothing left.

"It's you who forced me; then you all must die."

"Three Tribulations Corpse King form, condense."

The huge body began to condense; Bai'e Corpse King displayed his Corpse King form, his height exceeding ten meters, standing before everyone like a giant.

Supreme Elder Fengshan True Person saw this and exclaimed, "Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation— indeed this is the Formation, Bai Zhongsheng, have you gone mad? Are you really going to sacrifice the entire Corpse Refining Sect?"

Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation, the Corpse Refining Sect's strongest sacrificial Formation, directly sacrifices everything inside the Formation, whether you like it or not.

There's no reasoning with it; the weak cannot resist; this Formation is overly evil, long ago listed as a forbidden Formation by the Corpse Refining Sect, accessible only to the Sect Master— yet Bai Zhongsheng actually set up this Formation.

The Supreme Elder had long sensed something amiss, unsure if it was this Formation; at the moment the Formation activated, he felt his corpse qi uncontrollably drawn out by the Formation, along with his bodily vitality and various true qi, though the pull wasn't strong enough to resist.

That's also because he is strong; the weaker the cultivation, the shorter the time they can hold out— those disciples outside would likely be drained clean within the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

"So what? As disciples of my Corpse Refining Sect, they should have long been prepared to die."

"To sacrifice everything for the great Corpse Refining Sect is their honor; I will let them die a proper death."

"Their sacrifice will not be in vain; I will let them know that after offering sacrifice to this Sect Master, the Sect Master will let the Corpse Refining Sect dominate Cangzhou, causing Tian Du Men and the Dust Accumulation Sect to be wiped out; thereafter, Cangzhou will be the Corpse Refining Sect's territory."

"And you, Supreme Elder, please sacrifice yourself for the Faction's danger."

Bai'e Corpse King pointed at the Supreme Elder; as he spoke, he immediately attacked.

A huge hand reached out to seize him; the Supreme Elder had been on guard and dodged quickly, but found his movement restrained by corpse qi, the Formation making it hard to move— all this was in Bai Zhongsheng's calculations.

"Supreme Elder, it's useless; you can't resist, so just obediently go die."

The giant hand seized the Supreme Elder's body, and he let out a shrill scream.

"Ah."

"Bai Zhongsheng, you can't do this; I am the Supreme Elder of the Corpse Refining Sect— how dare you……"

He opened his mouth, and Bai Zhongsheng gulped him down whole; chewing sounds echoed around.

Inside the cave heaven, it was silent save for the chewing sounds; he literally ate the Supreme Elder whole.

Seeing this, everyone's scalp went numb; the Second Corpse General and others fell silent. Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but choke up— zombies eating people is a common sight, and they thought they'd be immune to such images, yet seeing this in person still left them silent.

The Supreme Elder was just eaten like that, with no ability to resist; if……

The Second Corpse General immediately retreated; the Gold Armor Corpse and Red-eyed Corpse likewise, the two of them dared not approach Bai Zhongsheng, fearing the next victim would be themselves.

The Undying Corpse General was the same; he was truly afraid, knowing this would happen— Bai Zhongsheng indeed would strike his own side, fortunately he had taken precautions earlier.

"He deserves to die; Bai Zhongsheng is truly ruthless— the Supreme Elder was just eaten like that; the next could be me, I can't let him eat me."

Several Corpse Generals kept their distance from Bai Zhongsheng; Bai Zhongsheng, who had eaten the Supreme Elder, his mouth full of blood, still unsatisfied.

He lowered his gaze toward the Undying Corpse General and others; whether human or zombie, they had caught his attention— right now he was ravenously hungry.

To eat more people to replenish his energy, the Three Tribulations Corpse King form needs a large amount of flesh and blood; he is extremely hungry.

"You few, come over."

Bai Zhongsheng's hoarse voice rang out, like a demon's sound, echoing in the ears of the Undying Corpse General and others; they had long been on guard, immediately shaking their heads, refusing to come over.

At this point they were no match for Bai'e Corpse King; the power gap was too great. The Second Corpse General also regretted it— he hadn't expected Bai'e Corpse King to have this move, relying on the Supreme Elder as his backer, who got eaten— it was truly terrifying, and they were frightened.

"Diewumeng, keep an eye on him; don't let him near the corpse-born lotus and that coffin."

"The same goes for those other Corpse Generals— whoever approaches gets killed."

The corpse-born lotus must not have any mishap; the Black Wood Coffin is the same— no mishaps allowed, and no one may approach.

"No problem, Your Excellency the Tian Du Dragon King, rest assured." Diewumeng slowly walked forward, standing before the Black Wood Coffin and the corpse-born lotus, his whole body flickering constantly, hidden in the void, so as not to be ambushed by the corpse-born lotus nor by whatever lies within the Black Wood Coffin.

Simultaneously watching front and back, the corpse-born lotus belongs to them, and the one inside the Black Wood Coffin is not allowed to come out.

The other Corpse Generals are to keep watch, but must not let them approach even a step; Bai'e Corpse King's words make it even more forbidden for him to approach.

Diewumeng's eyes flickered; his surroundings began to change, little by little.

At the passage's location, Lian Hongchen and Heishanyang had just entered this place, saw that scene; the two almost exposed their aura, but Heishanyang had prepared in advance, immediately sealing Lian Hongchen's mouth so she wouldn't cry out.

The man and the sheep exchanged a glance; their gazes both noticed the corpse-born lotus, as well as Diewumeng and the Tian Du Dragon King. Heishanyang sent a mental message: "Diewumeng and the Tian Du Dragon King are here; they're both our own, we shouldn't compete with them for the corpse-born lotus, Lian Hongchen— do you see that Black Wood Coffin?"

"What lies inside must be the Corpse Refining Sect's patriarch; if you obtain his corpse and devour him, wouldn't that be…?"

Lian Hongchen's heart stirred; he couldn't help but choke out: "Can we?"
