Chapter 717: Thousands of years of corpse qi, for my use

Li Shenghong didn't quite understand why they needed to subdue Qisongbai; wouldn't it be better to just kill him?

Qisongbai is very ambitious; he would never accept being controlled, nor become someone's puppet, so Chen Chuyang's scheme will ultimately come to nothing.

"Qisongbai wouldn't agree; even if he did, he'd find a way to kill him."

"For such a dangerous person, it's still better to kill him."

Heishanyang heard this and joked, "Kid, you don't get it; once in Chen Chuyang's hands, there's only one outcome: either obey meekly and become his most loyal subordinate, or be tortured to death."

"Research? Chen Chuyang's research is deadly; how many people have fallen into his hands, only to end up dead?"

"Even if it were that, after submitting, Chen Chuyang wouldn't let it continue researching; otherwise, it wouldn't have the chance to stand here."

"That kid, once he starts researching, is truly deadly; even Qisongbai's zombie body can't withstand it."

Li Shenghong, who hasn't experienced that, naturally doesn't understand.

"Everyone on Longshe Shan isn't afraid of Chen Chuyang's cultivation, nor of him doing other things; they fear his research—once he enters that state, you're doomed."

"I guarantee, if Qisongbai falls into that kid's hands, he'll definitely collapse within ten days."

That kind of mental and physical collapse, and it's a direct collapse that cannot…… be repaired.

Chen Chuyang will surely think of every way to torture him; as long as he doesn't die, they'll research him to death.

These days, Chen Chuyang has been less troubled; he hasn't continued researching, and those pills are enough for Qisongbai to consume a pot.

Li Shenghong choked up and said, "Is it really that terrifying?"

Heishanyang gave Li Shenghong a look and retorted angrily, "You think my body's tough enough? Even I can't withstand that kid's research—do you think Qisongbai can?"

Li Shenghong stared deeply at Heishanyang; he knew a bit about its origin.

They all came from Qihuang Bao Ku, so naturally they know some things about the other side.

Heishanyang's body isn't invincible, but in this world, no person or demon beast can match it; even its toughest physique and stomach can't withstand it, so others would surely die miserably.

"Gurgle."

"You've also been tortured?"

Heishanyang nodded: "I was tortured for a while; you don't know, that kid is truly crazy, the things he researches aren't something we can comprehend."

"Non-human research—even demon beasts can't understand it."

In short, falling into Chen Chuyang's hands means you won't die, but you'll lose a layer of skin.

That person, when ruthless, can even send his own wife into the alchemy furnace for refining; he fears no danger.

As for others, there's no need to say.

Li Shenghong fell silent; if that's the case, Chen Chuyang is indeed crazy—no wonder he's achieved so much, so crazy, so possessed; such people often manage to achieve something.

"Then wouldn't I be...?"

He remembered, Chen Chuyang was going to give him a fortune, right?

Thinking of this, Li Shenghong kept shaking his head, inwardly denying, "He surely won't be researched, will he?"

"Surely not?"

Heishanyang gave a hehe laugh: "Hehe, kid, then I'll be waiting to watch your show."

Seeing Heishanyang's smile, Li Shenghong felt even more uneasy, his whole body resisting.

He really is afraid.

"Gurgle."

Qisongbai gained another wound on his body; lightning power kept invading his body, constantly destroying.

Repeated destruction, his body was about to collapse; those other people really ran fast.

They all had means to leave; since they could get in here, they naturally wouldn't lack a backup.

"Cough cough."

"Kid, you're dreaming."

Qisongbai gritted his teeth; as an emperor, when had he ever been humiliated?

Chen Chuyang's words clearly amounted to humiliating him.

To surrender and become his research subject—better to…… resist a bit.

"Kid, don't think you've already won; I, the emperor, am not a waste for you to toy with."

"Qihuang Bao Ku, rise."

"Corpse qi, gather."

He placed both hands on the ground; the ground appeared with a huge formation that spread throughout Qihuang Bao Ku.

Everywhere was covered by the formation.

Under his feet, a vast amount of corpse qi gathered; all that corpse qi was what he had accumulated.

Accumulated over countless years, it was finally going to be used.

"Corpse qi pouring onto the crown."

"Heaven and earth enter my body."

Countless corpse qi entered his body; Qisongbai's body swelled, and the lightning was driven away.

The corpse qi surged, a terrifying pressure that suppressed the surroundings.

Li Shenghong frowned: "He still has a backup."

"With so much corpse qi, over these years he's accumulated so much corpse qi—probably the Great Qi Dynasty outside……"

The Great Qi Dynasty helped accumulate it; a dynasty's several-thousand-year buildup—how immense the corpse qi is.

Heishanyang involuntarily frowned: "Kid, we can't let him keep absorbing corpse qi."

Chen Chuyang naturally could see that these corpse qi were all good stuff.

He opened his right hand.

The Hunyuan Bell appeared.

"Go."

The Hunyuan Bell flew out, enveloping Qisongbai above.

"Hunyuan Bell, activate."

"Absorb."

The Hunyuan Bell opened its devouring, and those corpse qi were sucked out.

Entering the Hunyuan Bell, its internal space is vast, capable of infinite devouring.

Devouring, merging, expanding space.

The Hunyuan Bell underwent changes, the golden-yellow Hunyuan Bell acquiring a layer of gray.

The patterns on it kept changing, Chen Chuyang didn't care at all.

The Hunyuan Bell, merging all qi, whether corpse qi, resentment qi, or ghost qi, can devour them all.

All transformed into the Hunyuan Bell's energy; such abundant corpse qi is just enough to let the Hunyuan Bell feast to its fill.

"Damn it, what did you do?"

Qisongbai discovered that the corpse qi he had condensed was sucked away by that Hunyuan Bell.

He could not resist that suction; before he could absorb it, the Hunyuan Bell sucked it all away, leaving nothing.

Even the corpse qi inside his body, the Hunyuan Bell did not let go.

Qisongbai felt hatred.

He hated Chen Chuyang to death, his eyes turning blood-red.

Chen Chuyang crossed his arms, quietly watching this scene.

Absorbing.

The Hunyuan Bell kept absorbing.

However much there was, it absorbed that much.

As the absorbed corpse qi increased, the Hunyuan Bell gradually expanded, its size doubling.

It continued to expand, the speed of expansion rapid.

"Thank you for your corpse qi."

"My Hunyuan Bell worries about insufficient energy, not enough for Advancement."

"With your corpse qi, I can rest easy."

The Hunyuan Bell stalled halfway through Advancement, lacking just a bit, missing a bit of foundation.

These corpse qi, accumulated over thousands of years, benefited Chen Chuyang and benefited the Hunyuan Bell.

"Damn it!"

Qisongbai's fury flared: "Boy, stop, this is my corpse qi!"

"Boy, go die for me."

"Supreme Ultimate Fist."

He swung his fist, blasting forward.

The Hunyuan Bell descended, enveloping; his fist shook the Hunyuan Bell, unable to approach Chen Chuyang.

"Hum."

The bell's vibration shook, Qisongbai instead knelt, his body bursting.

His soul also bore the impact, the whole person letting out a painful, anguished wail.

"Ah."

"I'm dying of pain."

"Ah."
