Chapter 1764: Heavenless Corpse Venerable (Part I)

"Second Senior Brother, have you forgotten the Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation?" the Undying Corpse General gave an evil laugh, pointing at the formation on the ground, which was still activating, constantly drawing in all kinds of corpse qi and vital energy, most of which were drawn by the White Forehead Corpse King, becoming part of the White Forehead Corpse King.

Originally this formation was set up for the Corpse-born Lotus; this is also the White Forehead Corpse King's retreat and confidence. As long as he remains here, he possesses endless energy, vital energy unceasing, corpse qi unceasing, death qi unceasing, so he will not die.

In other words, as long as this formation exists, he will not fail; he can even wear out and kill the Heavenly Capital Dragon King and Diewumeng. This is his purpose, and also the source of his daring to confront the two of them head-on: he wants them to both suffer losses, and then adding another person would suffice.

The cultivation of the Corpse-born Lotus cannot be stopped; much of the leaking essence is devoured by the Corpse-born Lotus, which is still constantly growing and needs them to add fuel. Moreover, the Patriarch of the Corpse Refining Sect is still alive, although he has been drained dry, once he awakens there are ways… to recover.

"The Patriarch has been schemed against, his whole body drained dry. You say, if the Patriarch revives, who will he deal with first?"

"Bai Zhongsheng is too treacherous; he won't let us go. In his eyes, we are no different from ants; he will sacrifice us at any time. What senior brothers, what sect camaraderie—bullshit."

"Feng Luoyue, you know his character best. If we don't do this, do you think we can leave this place alive?"

The Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation has always been active; destroying this formation is not easy. The entire cave heaven is part of the formation, and outside there are countless formation bases connected, making this place utterly stable. Unless a great power directly destroys the formation bases, causing all external bases to shatter, then… the power of the Three Tribulations Corpse Refining Grand Formation can be weakened, thereby rendering the formation ineffective.

This is not likely to be accomplished. Therefore, we need the Patriarch of the Corpse Refining Sect to revive and seize energy from the White Forehead Corpse King; then we can use them to kill Bai Zhongsheng. If Bai Zhongsheng does not die, the Undying Corpse General will feel uneasy.

Feng Luoyue heard this, pondered for a moment, and asked: "How should we do it to awaken the Patriarch?"

"It's simple: just sever the roots of the Corpse-born Lotus, then pour fresh blood into it; the essence blood of a Strong One is best." the Undying Corpse General spoke lightly, staring at Second Corpse General Feng Luoyue, almost saying that a sacrificial victim is needed—if a victim is sacrificed, it can speed up the Patriarch's revival.

In this place, the only people who could serve as sacrificial victims are the four of us; the White Forehead Corpse King is out of the question—he is too powerful. If we approach him, we would be killed before we could even act. As for us, at such a time it is impossible to sacrifice our junior brothers.

The Second Corpse General looked at the Undying Corpse General, who realized something and sneered: "Second Senior Brother, you wouldn't be thinking of having me sacrificed, would you?"

"Exactly, Undying Junior Brother, go through the trouble once—sacrifice yourself to awaken the Patriarch for the Patriarch, how about that?" As soon as the Second Corpse General said this, the others swarmed to surround the Undying Corpse General, the Golden Armor Corpse being the most eager; he had long wanted to kill him.

Well, this senior brother is lifting a stone to drop on his own foot—he is quite willing to kill him.

The Red-eyed Corpse General sneered: "Undying Senior Brother, it was you who gave us advice; since that's the case, why don't you offer your own life?"

"Trouble the senior brother to sacrifice once, just consider it for us junior brothers, how about that?"

The three surrounded him, forcing him to sacrifice himself. Of course, it is not necessary for him to sacrifice himself; it is enough for him to provide fresh blood to awaken the Patriarch. As for whether he can survive, it depends on his fate.

The Undying Corpse General's face fell, his eyes turning icy.

"Are you really going to do this?"

"No room for negotiation?"

The Second Corpse General sneered: "Of course it can be negotiated, Undying Junior Brother—you can try, you can awaken; you only need to expend some essence blood, and if you want to sacrifice yourself, you may do so."

"According to what you said, as long as the Patriarch awakens, that's enough; we need not worry about anything else."

"The plan was proposed by you, so naturally you should carry it out; you wouldn't think we would do it, would you?"

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red-eyed Corpse General are our own people; the Second Corpse General will not let his own people take risks, so we have no choice but to wrong the Undying Junior Brother.

The Undying Corpse General's expression changed; he never expected they had already set their sights on him. No wonder the Second Corpse General earlier did not let the Golden Armor Corpse make a move—it turns out they were waiting here for him. They want everything, yet they are unwilling to sacrifice themselves.

Truly speechless and also very aggravating.

"You're fine; can't I just go do it?" the Undying Corpse General clearly understood that if he didn't, these people would not let him off.

Give it a go; perhaps…

"Hahaha, Undying Junior Brother, rest assured; after we succeed, we won't lay a hand on you." the Second Corpse General comforted him, making him willing to go.

"Hmph." the Undying Corpse General gave a cold snort and obediently went to do it.

The Golden Armor Corpse and the Red-eyed Corpse General approached; the Golden Armor Corpse whispered: "Second Senior Brother, do you think all this is his scheme, just to get close to the Patriarch?"

The Red-eyed Corpse General nodded and doubted: "Second Senior Brother, I always feel that Undying Senior Brother is concealing something; he deliberately did this just to get close to the Patriarch—could it be that he…"

The Second Corpse General did not speak immediately, fixing his gaze on the Undying Corpse General's silhouette as he slowly approached the Corpse-born Lotus and that Black Wood Coffin, while the White Forehead Corpse King and the Heavenly Capital Dragon King were locked in battle, having no mind to attend to him; Diewumeng stood there, as if unable to see him, letting him pass.

It seemed as if they had all allowed this.

It should be said that Diewumeng also wanted to see what the Undying Corpse General was about to do; for the few people undertaking this matter, Diewumeng naturally guessed it.

Her eyes flickered, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, the amplitude minute—outsiders could not see her exact expression.

"The Corpse Refining Sect's corpse generals are indeed restless, wanting to approach that coffin—is their target the entity inside the coffin?"

"Is he trying to awaken him, or to replace him?"

Diewumeng watched this scene; everything around remained unchanged.

Elsewhere, the hidden Heishanyang's eyes gleamed, fixed on Diewumeng's silhouette; he saw Diewumeng's smile, saw through layer after layer of illusion, perceiving Diewumeng's surroundings—the world where she stood was also illusory, everything around having been altered.

Even the Corpse-born Lotus and that coffin were concealed by her.

"Heishanyang, the Undying Corpse General has taken action—could it be that he is interested in the Corpse Refining Sect's Patriarch?"

Lian Hongchen grew anxious.

"Should we act immediately, get ahead of him?"

Heishanyang shook his head: "Don't rush, lass; at this moment it is not suitable to act—there are problems, Diewumeng has problems; don't act recklessly, and don't expose yourself."

"Just watch closely, observe Diewumeng's methods; if you can learn even half of it, you'll be able to roam freely across Cangzhou in the future."

Lian Hongchen blinked: "What's wrong? What exactly happened? What are you saying?"

"Don't ask so many things; just watch—what happens next will open your eyes wide." Heishanyang watched the scene before him with great enthusiasm.
