Chapter 547: Ten Thousand Monster Pill, Mu Longhao's Countermove?

The monster soul was refined, ending up as a pure energy mass; using the refining‑ghost‑into‑pill technique again produced the same result—monster souls and ghost souls behave alike.

The remaining ash of those bodies could not be wasted, so Chen Chuyang refined them again.

He obtained some bodily essence, merged it with the essence in his palm, forming something like a pill; it was not a true pill yet, requiring further removal of its beastly nature.

The remaining procedures are Chen Chuyang's specialty; he immediately took out the Alchemy Furnace and began mixing spiritual medicines on the spot. The main ingredient was ready, and there were plenty of auxiliary herbs. Chen Chuyang now lacks nothing except that the spiritual herbs are abundant, though the ones cultivated on Longshe Shan are scarce, so he can keep some in hand.

Many people paid respects, and among them, the big head was certainly Qi Ruohua; this woman is truly a tycoon, having defeated the tycoon several times. Chen Chuyang got fatter, while Qi Ruohua did not lose weight, but became even fatter.

Chen Chuyang robbed Qi Ruohua, and Qi Ruohua robbed those families and many hostile individuals. Those who opposed her back then, after rising to power, now must pay a price— a heavy price, essentially the fate of having their homes plundered. The abundance of resources she obtained is enough to drive her mad.

The Black Dragon Guard did not do nothing; if not for ensuring the stability of the Great Qi Dynasty, it would have already acted against all families, why keep them alive.

Three hours later.

The Alchemy Furnace stopped, and inside a pill appeared.

Chen Chuyang reached out and caught the pill, examined it closely; it had merged all of Mu Longhao's essence, and had it not been that most of the essence was devoured by the Hunyuan Bell, the pill's quality would be even higher.

"The Fifth-Grade Pill's quality is a bit lower than the Ten Thousand Ghost Pill, but not by much."

"Then call it the Ten Thousand Monster Pill."

Refining ghosts into pills and refining monsters into pills—there is no real difference between the two.

Chen Chuyang looked at the pill in his hand, thought for a moment, and swallowed it whole.

Having the Ten Thousand Ghost Pill as a test, that pill had no issues, so the pill in his hand was naturally fine.

After ingesting the pill, Chen Chuyang's body trembled as a terrifying energy radiated from the pill, instantly surging through his entire body.

"Buzz."

"What a terrifying energy."

"The effect of a Fifth-Grade Pill is terrifying indeed."

Chen Chuyang immediately sat down, crossed his legs, and began cultivation.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture started running at full speed, devouring the properties of the Ten Thousand Monster Pill.

Time passed, bit by bit.

Three days later.

Chen Chuyang completed absorbing the Ten Thousand Monster Pill's effects, and his cultivation advanced further.

The breakthrough hasn't arrived yet.

But it's close.

"One Fifth-Grade Ten Thousand Monster Pill doubled my true Qi and significantly boosted my cultivation."

"Two more Fifth-Grade Pills and I can soon advance the Hunyuan Dao Scripture to the later stage of its fourth layer."

"Unfortunately, Fifth-Grade Pills aren't that easy to refine; the amount of Strong One essence required isn't large."

Mu Longhao and Heavenly Ghosts are rare treasures; there are only one or two of them.

He managed to encounter them and capture them; his luck is truly beyond words.

Chen Chuyang must thank Little Carp; with its luck blessing, everything goes smoothly for him.

"Heavenly Ghosts and Mu Longhao of this caliber are hard to meet; counting through all of world history, few have been seen."

"A pity, the Strong Ones we met before were wasted."

Du Xuzi, the Fifth Layer Mountain, and Shadow Grand Elder among others—if they still existed, Chen Chuyang would certainly refine them.

This method violates the Heavenly Dao, but Chen Chuyang here doesn't fuss over such things; as long as it can boost strength, everything is usable.

As for whether the method is righteous or demonic, sorry, with great power, you call the shots.

"Ghost King Zhuge Gui is a promising seed, if…?"

"Stop, Chen Chuyang, that's your Dharma Protector; you can't act recklessly."

Chen Chuyang shook his head, discarding those unrealistic thoughts; comrades shouldn't speak carelessly.

He couldn't help but think of Heishanyang; he must be very…

salivating.

The Heishanyang lying outside shivered for no reason.

He lifted his head, alert to his surroundings.

"Strange, why does it always feel like someone is out to get me?"

Discarding all unrealistic ideas, Chen Chuyang felt his own transformation.

True Qi, flesh, and every aspect have all multiplied many times.

He put away the Alchemy Furnace, looked around, and nothing was missing.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Chen Chuyang frowned, lowered his head, stared at a clump of jet‑black substance on the ground, grasped it, and sensed it.

Closing his eyes, his sight pierced through cause and effect.

Suddenly, he sensed something.

"Eh?"

"Mu Longhao hasn't been completely eradicated?"

"The Plague Beast is still alive."

Not far, thousands of miles away, underground.

The Plague Beast's body trembled, then suddenly fled a thousand miles away; its speed was such that in a blink it left a lingering afterimage.

It escaped far, far away, beyond Chen Chuyang's Spiritual Sense perception.

The Plague Beast's body twisted, beginning a strange transformation.

The body soon started coalescing into a human shape.

Look closely, there is seventy percent resemblance to Mu Longhao.

There are also differences; on the face, there is a different strangeness.

Half the face is Mu Longhao, half the face is a Plague Demon Beast.

"Hmph, you were created by me, yet you dare to rebel against me."

"Go back to me, this body is mine."

The Plague Demon Beast will not relent, rebelling, continually rebelling.

"Mu Longhao, you are a dead man; after Chen Chuyang killed you, you should stay dead. Wanting to take my body is impossible."

"Get out of my body; this is my body, you are not allowed to enter."

Mu Longhao coldly laughed: "You? Hehehe, you are nothing but my slave; I control your life and death, how could I let you?"

"Huh?"

Mu Longhao discovered he could not kill the Plague Demon Beast before him; he escaped confinement and released the bonds he had set.

Those methods cannot be used.

"You... actually broke the seal."

"Hahaha, did you not expect this, Mu Longhao? I long ago knew you would seize my body; for this day I have waited too long, too long. Wanting to seize my body is impossible."

"I will not easily give it up."

"Plague, suppress."

Countless worms appeared, entering the body.

The worms gnawed at Mu Longhao's soul; seeing this, Mu Longhao coldly said: "Mere plague worms, also wanting to devour me? Overestimating themselves."

"Plague Demon Beast, you are my creation; in this lifetime, do not even think of rebelling against me."

"Soul Suppression, Body Exchange Grand Method."

Mu Longhao's soul suddenly merged with the flesh; this step directly surpassed the Plague Demon Beast.

Directly seizing control of the body, the Plague Demon Beast, seeing this, panicked.

"Damn it, no, you..."

The soul consciousness gradually faded; the Plague Demon Beast's control over this body disappeared.

He could no longer contend with Mu Longhao.

Mu Longhao once again took control of this body.

He opened his eyes, feeling this completely new body.

"Chen Chuyang, wait for me; this mortal enmity shall not coexist under the same sky."

"I will come back again."
