Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 786: Chapter 787: Demon Lord Reappears! (1 More)

”This... this...”

The High Priest was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, ”This lowly one does not know either, Sect Hierarch--bah, Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch, that Great Demon, simply handed the Blood Soul Pearls directly to us, instructing us to develop branches in the surrounding cities by turning the ignorant commoners into believers, thereby extracting their soul origins.”

”Yes,” added the protector hurriedly, ”After that Great Demon gave us the Blood Soul Pearls, he told us how to control the Blood Spirit Corpses, and then he constantly disappeared, only periodically reappearing to demand the Blood Soul Pearls from us, and if the extracted soul origins were insufficient, he would severely punish us.”

Ling Feng, supporting his chin, thought silently: It seems Despicable Donkey guessed right, the reason Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch wants to extract so many soul origins is to repair that Demon Sword.

All the Blood Spirit Corpses will eventually become the Blood Food for the Demon Sword, simply waiting for the sword to recover to a certain degree, and then it will simultaneously absorb all the blood essence within the bodies of millions of Blood Spirit Corpses, leaving nothing behind.

At that time, including the believers of Blood God Sect and that Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch, all would be sacrifices for the Demon Sword.

Ironically, these fools of the Blood God Sect really believed they could achieve immortality, simply dreaming.

”Hmph!”

Ling Feng’s gaze turned colder, and he said sharply, ”Think carefully, does your Sect Hierarch have any place for concocting elixirs or a quiet room for practices in the Main Altar?”

”Oh, I remember now!”

The High Priest slapped his thigh, ”Young Hero, I know a place, exactly where that demon cultivates, and ordinarily no one is allowed near it. I will take you there!”

”You finally know your place,” Ling Feng’s eyebrows raised, with a big wave of his hand, he sealed off both of their Dantians, and said sternly, ”Lead the way!”

”Young... Young Hero, I have a request...”

The High Priest said with a trembling voice.

”If you don’t want to die, just lead the way obediently, if I get the clues I want, sparing your lives is not impossible.”

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, remembering well that the reward for capturing these Blood God Sect believers alive was much higher than killing them.

Whether he handed them over to the Northwest Army or to the Heavenly Position Academy, he would receive a handsome reward.

”Yes! Yes!”

The two men nodded hurriedly, ”Young Hero, please follow us!”

”Wait.”

Ling Feng paused slightly, then slowly said: ”Gather all your Blood Soul Pearls, and those on the corpses as well, hand them all over to me.”

It turned out, Despicable Donkey could no longer hold back, through the Spirit Beast Contract communicated with Ling Feng, not wanting to waste those Blood Soul Pearls.

Despicable Donkey, in order to lure out the enemy, had stayed inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and didn’t come out; otherwise, he would have appeared earlier to snatch the Blood Soul Pearls.

The Blood Soul Pearls contained a great amount of soul origin, and having tasted the sweetness before, Despicable Donkey naturally did not want to miss any of them.

Though the Blood Soul Pearls were tremendously evil, the soul origins extracted were valuable goods, it would be a shame to waste them since they had already been extracted.

For this, Despicable Donkey had no psychological burden, and Ling Feng similarly had not yet reached that extent of scruples.

After all, the Eye of Plunder, transformed from his Source Stealing Blood Pearl, was inherently a power full of sinister strength.

Hundred Meridians Limit will soon be broken through; once I advance to the Divine Origin Realm, I’ll also make initial contact with the Divine Soul Path. Perhaps then, I might also be able to use it.

(PS: The Source Stealing Blood Pearl transformed into the Eye of Plunder can also absorb the Essence and soul of living beings, thereby increasing its own Soul origin. However, as explained earlier, frequent use of the Eye of Plunder leads to uncontrollable malevolent energy within the body, plunging into a berserk state the moment Shura’s Eye is activated. Therefore, Ling Feng hardly used the Eye of Plunder afterwards. See ”Chapter 273: Killing Intent Goes Berserk” for details.)

However, now that Ling Feng has cultivated the Supreme Mysterious Heaven Technique, he can better suppress his own killing intent. Thus, Ling Feng can use the Eye of Plunder again against enemies that must be killed.

”Yes, yes!”

The two High Priests nodded hurriedly and scuttled to gather all the Blood Soul Pearls for Ling Feng. They also carefully cleaned the Blood Demon Pearl taken from the body of the protector who had been smashed to pieces and handed it dutifully to Ling Feng.

”Alright, now you can lead the way.”

Ling Feng nodded. He took their compliance for granted.

”Yes!”

The High Priest swallowed hard and led Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan through a long corridor to a more secluded location with quick steps.

What they did not notice was a Blood Spirit Corpse on the ground, whose eyeballs were rolling wildly as if they weren’t true eyeballs at all.

Everything it saw was reflected through a magical mirror, appearing before the eyes of the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch, who was recovering his cultivation in the deep mountains.

...

”Humph, that guy named Ling Feng, he has indeed come!”

Lee Qingling snorted coldly, his brows deeply furrowed as he watched the magical mirror. However, he was somewhat relieved by the absence of that black donkey throughout.

”Master, you have the Demon Sword in hand, why worry at all? Although that black donkey hurt you last time, it inadvertently helped us fuse more perfectly. Your power now is surely enough to deal with that black donkey.”

The spirit of the Demon Sword, transformed into a dark, indistinct shadow, spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, rough as sandpaper scraping a wall.

”Humph, I just don’t want to waste more energy,” Lee Qingling snorted coldly, and said, ”That guy named Ling Feng, his medical skills are extraordinary! If he finds the Emperor Blood Orchid in my place of quiet cultivation, he will surely be able to develop an antidote for the Blood Corpse Poison. Then, all my painstaking efforts will be in vain.”

”This is indeed bad news, Master. What do you plan to do?”

The ethereal shadow of the Demon Sword Spirit circled around Lee Qingling. Though it constantly addressed Lee Qingling as its master, with the demonic nature of this sword, it wouldn’t be long before it devoured its so-called master, refining him into a Sword Puppet.

”I have a wonderful plan.”

Lee Qingling grinned, ”Demon Sword, retract your aura and shrink into my Dantian.”

”Master, what are you suggesting?”

”Back then, that Ling Feng, relying on his skill in medicine ridiculed me greatly. Today, I shall meet this brat again! This time, I intend to play him to death!”

Lee Qingling cackled eerily, and the Demon Sword Spirit nodded, shrinking back into the sword. Then, the Demon Sword, entwined with Lee Qingling’s body by eerie tentacles, gradually merged into his body, returning to its original flesh and blood form.

In the blink of an eye, Lee Qingling transformed back into the original Qingling Hermit, his demeanor still slightly scholarly. It was nearly impossible to tell that he was the one suffused with demonic Qi, the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch!
