Chapter 1059 - 669: The Immortal Corpse Gains Sentience, The Demon Child's Poisonous Plot
Tao Buddha's son was lamenting with his true self, while the two Yin Yang Daoists gained from the corpse worms were upset due to no response, snorting coldly as they each intended to use Divine Skills to first eliminate the Evil Beast True Dragons dragging the corpses ahead.
They saw the Dharma Bodies of both change color simultaneously, one black, one white, each holding yin-yang.
Their eyes were surging with Divine Radiance and Immortal Light, about to burst forth.
Even before they were struck by Divine Skills, the Evil Beast True Dragons and even Immortal Soldiers and Divine Generals ahead sensed a strong crisis foreboding, like needles in the back, constantly wailing, but committed to their duty, none of the Evil Beasts or True Dragons fled.
"Such Divine Skills, these two corpse worms have talent, each refining a strand of Taixuan Origin Immortal Qi to the limit and gaining Yin Yang Secrets."
"Although these two cannot overcome the barrier at the root of the nose to merge, their emitted Divine Radiance can fuse across space. If those Yin Yang Corpse Lights strike, even if the True Dragons and Evil Beasts don't die, they would surely suffer heavy injury."
Tao Buddha's son praised but had no intention to intervene.
In fact, there was no need for him to act.
Viewing the spectacle was simply viewing a spectacle.
The task of retrieving the corpse was entirely handled by the army prepared in advance by Taixuan Immortal, and if they cannot deal with these parasites, how could Taixuan Immortal dare call himself a Tribulation Immortal?
Just as the Yin Yang Corpse Worms were about to unleash their Divine Skills, two Divine Generals seemingly cast from jade rose and each used a spell called "Giant Spirit God General," revealing Dharma Bodies as majestic as heaven and earth, ready to resist the terrifying corpse lights.
Meanwhile, other Immortal Soldiers and Divine Generals not dragging the corpses, along with the Evil Beasts, were prepared for battle, each holding Divine Weapons, ready to turn back and cleanse their master's corpse and completely eradicate these desecrating worms.
As the battle seemed imminent, the Immortal Corpse suddenly changed.
Suddenly from the source of its brain surged an Immortal Light filled with "Death Qi," coursing through the whole corpse in an instant, further covering all the Evil Beast True Dragons, Immortal Soldiers, and Divine Generals.
It swiftly swept across!
An astonishing transformation occurred immediately.
All soldiers, dragon beasts, seemed as if struck by an "immobilization spell," immobilized, motionless.
The Chaos Divine Iron ropes capable of dragging real stars fell, limp and powerless.
"This is...?"
Originally cheerfully watching the scene, Tao Buddha's son was suddenly alarmed.
What astonished him further was yet to come.
From the source of Death Qi, a mass of Divine Light abruptly shot out from the back of Taixuan Immortal's head, and after settling in the Great Abyss, a Daoist almost identical to Taixuan Immortal emerged, instantly recognizable as a powerful manifestation, the Source Sea God Demon.
If there was a difference, it was his attire and Magical Treasures.
Instead of an Immortal Robe and Crown, he wore a Netherworld Emperor Robe and Death Qi Iron Crown, holding a seemingly supreme Jade Seal in hand.
Adding the dense layer of Death Qi enveloping the Immortal, it didn't resemble a resurrection.
More... more like the Immortal Corpse transformed into a Netherworld Monarch?
This Netherworld Monarch, upon appearing, both Yin Yang Corpse Worms showed expressions of reverence and fear, bowing and saluting, and calling: "Yin Yang Dao pays respect to Taixuan Netherworld Emperor!"
These two seemed to signal.
The next moment, the entire Immortal Corpse trembled, and a multitude of parasitic or carrion insects resembling corpse worms emerged from its various apertures.
Each revealing Dharma Bodies and Original Corpse Qi, announcing their names, then respectfully saluting this so-called Netherworld Emperor.
Tao Buddha's son with true self, after watching for a while, was again startled.
"So many worms, they all attained the Dao?"
"And not only did they consume Taixuan Immortal's flesh and essence, there seems to be other God Demons, all of that corrupt and evil kind, also extremely formidable."
"It seems that the arrangements laid by Immortal at the brink of death were not fully effective, probably offset considerably, resulting in more than half the number of Dao-attained worms in the body; if a fight breaks out, the army he left might not win."
"The most lethal issue is that 'Netherworld Emperor,' what origin?"
"Could it simply be an Immortal Corpse achieving Dao? Just like the ancient Mysterious Lord, whose corpse became magical years after dying?"
Demon Child Body and true self were filled with doubt.
Unfortunately, they were now separated by great distances, and somewhat dangerous; he wasn't inclined to leave the Search God Realm to examine the corpse, explore secrets.
Unexpectedly, he didn't need to touch, that Taixuan Netherworld Emperor turned towards him.
...
Faced with greetings from the corpse worms and insects, He nodded, then stiffly and ominously smiled, his gaze transcending all barriers, including world barriers, directly locking eyes with Tao Buddha's son atop the coffin outside the Nether Pool.
As if not speaking for countless millennia, the voice was a bit hoarse.
Initially smooth, then restored.
First made an ancient etiquette of the Search God Realm, then said:
"This poor Daoist Taixuan, a dim True Spirit born after an ancient Immortal Monarch's death, originally had a chance to reincarnate and cultivate anew, but at the last moment was reluctant to let go of this splendid Dharma Body, missed the opportunity, and trapped in this refined corpse akin to a world along with these corpse worms and Evil Worms."
"Luckily, my descent was most proper, thereby received the title of '[Taixuan Corpse Emperor],' overseeing countless Immortals, commanding the group of gods."
"Today, I shamelessly ask you for a favor, to abandon recalling Taixuan Immortal Monarch's corpse, if you, younger generation, consent to this, poor Daoist can decide that all Immortal Gods within this 'Taixuan Corpse Realm' impart you with their heritages, Daoist Skills, completing the Dao lineage you lack."
