Chapter 449: Chapter 232: Return to the Little Demon Realm, Corpse Manipulation Heads to the Floating Domain

January.

February.

March.

Wen Jiu maintained the efficiency of cultivating three Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms per month. Meanwhile, East Spring Undying Bone constantly hunted demons outside, and with Three Thousand Blood Inks using the Corpse Fate Technique for calculations, no Tier Two Demon Beast or demon could hide. Once a demon was found, East Spring Undying Bone swiftly reaped the rewards.

In a month or two, Wen Jiu had cleared all within a ten thousand-mile radius in the opposite direction of Three Karmic Demon Luo.

They harvested a significant number of Tier Two Demons. Although the corpse nourishing effects of Tier Two Demons were far inferior to Blood Corpse Mushrooms, the sheer quantity made up for it. If ten won’t suffice, then a hundred will, as long as they’re not Golden Core Great Demons, East Spring Undying Bone can kill them.

However, the extensive hunting finally drew the attention of a Golden Core Great Demon.

A Flood Dragon hiding in the deep pool of the Traceless Mountain Range, beyond East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense detection. Fortunately, when it emerged, East Spring Undying Bone used the Blood Corpse Escape in time to flee successfully.

Yet, the Flood Dragon seemed extremely enraged. Even as East Spring Undying Bone used Blood Corpse Escape to flee two thousand miles away, the Flood Dragon relentlessly pursued him with a secret technique, persisting for five thousand miles before finally giving up.

With no choice, Wen Jiu ceased hunting demons, as further efforts would either involve the Divine Fall Mountain Range or the Three Karmic Demon Luo. With all Tier Two Demons within a ten thousand-mile radius exterminated, chasing demons would only invite the Flood Dragon’s attention.

However, the months spent hunting demons were not fruitless. Initially, stepping into Tier Two Peak would take ten months, but the experience gained from hunting demons for two to three months matched the four to five months of corpse nourishing with Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

Thus, East Spring Undying Bone was close to Tier Two Peak, requiring only another month or two.

Originally Wen Jiu held a glimmer of hope, considering venturing beyond ten thousand miles, but did not expect the Flood Dragon to summon another Golden Core Great Demon to search the area where East Spring Undying Bone had hunted demons before.

With no choice.

Wen Jiu could only stay hidden in the Land of Death, quietly cultivating Blood Corpse Mushrooms.

Soon.

A month or two passed in a flash.

Wen Jiu did not rest for a night, waiting for the Blood Corpse Mushroom to reach Tier Two Lower Grade by dawn. After East Spring Undying Bone refined it, the sixty thousand experience points finally filled up, allowing East Spring Undying Bone to step into Tier Two Peak.

[East Spring Undying Bone (Tier Two Peak (full) —awaiting breakthrough (current domain does not meet the conditions for Undissolving Bone Condensation Pill)]

Upon reaching Tier Two Peak, East Spring Undying Bone’s corpse energy surged several times, reaching a terrifying level. The Dao Foundation’s corpse energy was like the sea; even the corpse energy within the corpse body was terrifying, far surpassing ten pseudo-cores.

In other words.

Many Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators might not compare, as according to the soul memories of Demon Soul, the magical power within lower-rank Golden Core is only two to three times that in pseudo-core.

Only those ancient Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators, who have practiced for centuries, might reach the tremendous reserve like East Spring Undying Bone. Of course, there is an exception, which is the middle and upper-rank Golden Core.

The magical power their Golden Core can accommodate is undoubtedly more than East Spring Undying Bone.

"Such terrifying corpse energy, coupled with Five Ghosts, Two Corpses, the chance of crossing the tribulation increases."

Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction, and tested the Undying Bone Body, finding the Golden Core Great Demon’s bone discovered earlier in the Land of Death. When East Spring Undying Bone clashed directly with it, Wen Jiu found their toughness to be evenly matched.

"The Undying Bone rivals the Golden Core Great Demon’s bone, making crossing the tribulation even more stable." The Golden Core Great Demon’s bone was certainly stronger than the demon’s body, possibly by several times. The Undying Bone Body can match it, demonstrating its tremendous strength.

With East Spring Undying Bone now, the pseudo-core is no longer a concern. With the Undying Bone Body, it can even clash directly with Golden Core Cultivators. Of course, provided their Divine Soul Technique is not deeply cultivated.

Otherwise, East Spring Undying Bone with Minor Success Three Souls Flawless would still not be their opponent. Once split soul is extinguished, it can only accept simple commands, drastically reducing combat effectiveness.

Golden Core Cultivators may not have an effective way to deal with East Spring Undying Bone, but can easily imprison it.

"While East Spring Undying Bone goes to the Hundred Floating Domains to find Core Formation Land, I must quickly improve Three Souls Flawless in the Little Demon Realm. If experience is maximized before then, East Spring Undying Bone can be a bit safer... and prepared for any Soul-Annihilating Celestial Thunder during the tribulation."

Having made a decision, Wen Jiu immediately prepared to pack up and return to the Little Demon Realm.

Even though undercurrents surged in the Little Demon Realm now, with Pei Wuxing overseeing, there were no major issues.

Moreover, considering Pei Wuxing’s background and the failed Middle Realm breakthrough recently, a second attempt within decades is unlikely. It seems that Three Life Gates will not make difficulties, preventing them from being surrounded.

But just as East Spring Undying Bone took him out of the Land of Death, the Flood Dragon happened to search the area, sensing East Spring Undying Bone’s aura, and immediately charged fiercely.

With no choice.

Wen Jiu could only persevere through the impact of Blood Corpse Escape and Spirit Body, fleeing two thousand miles before slightly relaxing.

But the Flood Dragon continued to chase.

After consuming two Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Pills, Wen Jiu gritted his teeth and pressed on, fleeing four or five thousand miles before using Corpse Fate Technique to calculate its departure.

"Just you wait, once East Spring Undying Bone has the Condensing Pill, you will be the first one he seeks!" Two Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Pills to restore the Spirit Body, worth twenty to thirty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, must be compensated by demons!
