Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 212 - 164: Divine Punishment Corpse Summoning Art, Powerful Corpse Puppets! Eastern Desolate Demon Emperor!
To avoid being discovered by other cultivators, Lin Chang’sheng quickly left the area after stowing away the Hundred Thousand Ghost Souls and the black coffin.
Once he reached a safe spot, he planned to summon Lu Yunchang’s soul to ask exactly what was going on with the red-dressed woman inside that coffin.
...
Eastern Desolate Forest.
Here, a hundred thousand mountains rolled endlessly, demon beasts rampant throughout, and in the depths, there were even terrifying Ninth Level demon beasts lurking.
Even a Golden Core expert who set foot here could fall with just one careless move.
At this moment, atop a towering mountain peak, countless palatial halls stood side by side in an imposing line.
In the uppermost and most lavish great hall, a middle-aged man dressed in crimson robes suddenly snapped his eyes open.
"Lin’Er, at last I’ve found you!"
As his words faded, a terrifying aura erupted from the man, so fierce that demon beasts for hundreds of miles around dropped flat to the ground in terror.
Even the Demon Kings who reigned above the Ninth Level demon beasts lowered their heads in submission.
"Southern Domain cultivators, you damn well have some guts!"
The crimson-robed man roared furiously, smashing the golden throne armchair beside him with a single palm.
Roar—
HOO—
The myriad demon beasts throughout the mountains seemed to sense the man’s fury, and howled skyward in unison.
The beastly cries echoed so loudly, they shook the heavens themselves.
...
A hundred miles outside Lingtian City, in a cave on a sheer cliff—
Lin Chang’sheng summoned Lu Yunchang’s soul out of the Myriad Soul Banner.
"You little bastard, how the hell did you get the Hundred Thousand Soul Banner? You son of a bitch, you actually ambushed me?"
Lu Yunchang erupted into a tirade the instant he saw Lin Chang’sheng.
He’d gotten careless—never expected to die at the hands of this brat.
If he had another chance, after learning Lin Chang’sheng’s tricks, who lost and who won would still be up for grabs.
"Love to curse so much? Then I’ll let you curse till you drop!"
Lin Chang’sheng, with a flick of his hand and a surge of technique, ignited a burst of flame.
Without hesitation, he slammed it straight onto Lu Yunchang’s body.
"AAAH—"
Surrounded by fiery flames, Lu Yunchang screamed in agony—the pain of a soul burning no less excruciating than the body itself.
Every person Lin Chang’sheng had cut down was full of resentment.
But with Lin Chang’sheng’s "attentions," they’d all end up behaving eventually.
Qi Hui was proof of that.
Now he was much more obedient—answering every question, just begging for a chance at reincarnation.
Too bad this bastard committed every sin imaginable, harmed too many people; Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of letting him off that easy.
As Lu Yunchang’s soul was about to be burned to oblivion, Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and bound it together again.
His essence soul was locked inside the Soul Banner—making even complete annihilation impossible.
"So? Ready to answer my questions properly now?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked casually—he had plenty of ways to get everything he wanted out of Lu Yunchang.
After a round of fiery torture, Lu Yunchang calmed down, "If I answer your questions, can I reincarnate?"
Lu Yunchang was much more compliant. As a man of Demon Dao, he didn’t know how Lin Chang’sheng got the Myriad Soul Banner.
But he did know—once a soul was taken into that banner, leaving again was nearly impossible.
So all he hoped was that, once he’d answered Lin Chang’sheng’s questions, he could enter reincarnation.
"You think you’re in a position to bargain?"
Lin Chang’sheng conjured another blaze in his palm, scaring Lu Yunchang into recoiling.
"Fine. Go ahead, ask."
Lu Yunchang gave in—just hoping Lin Chang’sheng would quit torturing him after this.
"What’s with the female corpse in the black coffin beneath you?"
Lin Chang’sheng demanded.
He sensed an unusual aura from her—something even a bit like Xiaobai’s.
That woman was definitely no member of the human race.
"I won’t lie to you: that woman is the daughter of the Eastern Desolate Demon Emperor. I caught her by accident, planned to refine her into a powerful Demon Corpse, but you brat ruined everything!"
"Now I’m dead, the seals on the coffin have faded, and the Demon Emperor will be able to sense his daughter’s location. You can imagine what’ll happen to you then!"
Lu Yunchang spoke in a chilling, sinister tone.
As if he could already see Lin Chang’sheng being skinned alive by the Demon Emperor.
"Daughter of the Demon Emperor?"
Lin Chang’sheng muttered—this was one hell of a hot potato.
"If you could refine her into a Demon Corpse, you must also know a way to restore her, right?"
Lin Chang’sheng pressed on. If the girl couldn’t be revived, even if the Southern Domain repelled Beimu’s cultivators, they’d soon face revenge from the demon beasts.
The Demon Emperor would surely blame Southern Domain cultivators for harming his daughter.
"No!"
Lu Yunchang replied bluntly.
"Guess you won’t admit it till you’re at death’s door!"
Seeing Lu Yunchang clamming up again, Lin Chang’sheng fired another blaze at him, engulfing him in flames.
He burned, shrieking once again.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk—"
Lu Yunchang begged for mercy, "Refining a Concentration Pill can hold her divine soul together—then, using Corpse King Sect’s Golden Corpse Rejuvenation Technique, she can be awakened."
"You have the pill formula and the Golden Corpse Rejuvenation Technique?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked.
"Honestly, I don’t."
Lu Yunchang shook his head.
Lin Chang’sheng figured he was just being stubborn again, so he lit up Lu Yunchang’s soul with another handful of fire.
"AAAH—I’m telling the truth...I really don’t... But there’s some inside Corpse King Sect..."
Lu Yunchang’s wailing faded as he was burned to oblivion again.
Looks like all this guy ever learned were harmful arts—he really knew nothing about saving people.
"Once I’m stronger, I have to make a trip to Demon Evil Sea!"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.
Afterwards, he stopped worrying, and instead inventoried tonight’s haul.
From the five Foundation Establishment Corpse King Sect disciples, he got fifty-two copper bodies—and from Lu Yunchang’s stash, one hundred eight copper corpses, plus four giant golden corpse bodies.
[Detected one hundred sixty basic level copper corpses. Fuse them into eighty intermediate copper corpses?]
The system panel popped up the prompt in the next instant.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng agreed without hesitation.
After all, copper corpses didn’t do anything for Lin Chang’sheng anymore.
At best, he could use them for fusing into golden corpses.
[Detected eighty intermediate copper corpses. Fuse them into forty high level copper corpses?]
The panel prompted again.
"Fuse!"
Lin Chang’sheng agreed once more.
[Detected forty high level copper corpses. Fuse them, using Sword Qi, into four basic level golden corpses?]
Lin Chang’sheng went ahead with the fusion yet again.
Finally, four giant bodies glowing with golden light appeared before him.
These four basic level golden corpses each possessed Golden Core Early Stage cultivation.
Their power was overwhelmingly fierce.
Wasn’t that the same as gaining four free Golden Core Early Stage bodyguards?
[Detected six basic level golden corpse bodies. Fuse them into three intermediate golden corpses?]
Just as Lin Chang’sheng thought the fusion was finished, the panel popped up another prompt.
He realized, in his original inventory, he already had two golden corpses.
Perfect for another round of fusion.
Lin Chang’sheng fused them again.
After the fusion, three awe-inspiring intermediate golden corpses appeared before him.
These were golden corpses at Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation!
Their cultivation even surpassed Lin Chang’sheng himself.
"By this pattern, fusion up to the next great realm always needs double the amount. But if you want golden corpses to fuse even higher, you need multiples of ten! That means ten high level golden corpses can fuse into an even stronger corpse puppet that breaks through to the next realm."
From this round of fusing, Lin Chang’sheng finally figured out the rules.
[Puppets: Three golden corpses (intermediate), four golden corpses (high level), Heaven-Devouring Insect King (eight)]
Lin Chang’sheng checked his panel.
He now had three intermediate golden corpses and four high level golden corpses.
The four high level ones, of course, came courtesy of Lu Yunchang.
Together, that’s five and a half high level golden corpses. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
As soon as he collects another four and a half high level golden corpse bodies, he can fuse an even stronger corpse puppet.
"Lu Yunchang’s corpse counts as one, Mo Li’s as another, the rest I’ll fuse from intermediate golden corpses!"
Lin Chang’sheng was already making plans in his head.
These golden corpses already matched the power of Golden Core Stage cultivators.
If he fused one that broke through to the next realm... wouldn’t that rival the power of a Nascent Soul great expert?
