Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2576: Chapter 838: Abundant Gains, the Shock of the Five Venoms Sect Hierarch and Heavenly Corpse Sect Master (1W1)_5

”This True Monarch asked Ayoudo to invite Fellow Daoist here with no ill intent, only because there is something to discuss.”

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, not bothering about that early frontier war when he went all out and crossed blows with the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, leaving the latter severely injured.

After all, in matters like that, they had stood on different sides; there was not much right or wrong to speak of.

He was not someone who bore grudges too deeply, and had always valued harmony.

Take the Yiming Ghost Sect, for example—Ming Sha True Monarch had come to make trouble for him again and again.

Especially within the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, where he was hunted in succession by Ming Sha True Monarch, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, and Yun Mei Monarch; that could be called the most stifling experience of Lu Ancestor’s life.

”I wonder what Yangming True Monarch wishes to discuss?”

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master was extremely wary of the Lu Changsheng before him.

After all, Yangming True Man’s battle record was simply too astonishing.

Even though when he fought himself, and outside the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, he relied on burning everything and staking his life to display that transcendent battle power.

Yet the other party had not, as the rumors claimed, died from exhaustion.

And the fact that he had successfully broken through to Nascent Soul said enough about his strength.

Under such circumstances, he even worried that he might not be a match for this Yangming True Monarch.

”Naturally, it is about the Jin Kingdom.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile.

As he spoke, his sleeve brushed lightly, and a corpse appeared—charred black all over, a bloody hole in its chest, its face frozen in an expression of shock, terror, and unwillingness, eyes not yet closed in death.

Though this corpse had no trace of life, there was still a faint Nascent Soul Qi Mechanism lingering around it.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and Ayoudo stared at the corpse; first they were stunned, then they were shaken to an indescribable degree, hardly daring to believe their own eyes.

”Ming Sha True Monarch!”

”This...”

Their expressions were full of shock and doubt, their voices trembling, as they recognized this to be the corpse of Ming Sha True Monarch.

Never in their wildest dreams had they thought that Ming Sha True Monarch was dead.

Killed by Yangming True Monarch.

Even Ayoudo, who knew Lu Changsheng’s strength, was so stunned by this scene that she could not speak.

After all, she knew that Lu Changsheng had just been at the Five Poisons Cult, leaving at almost the same time as she did.

In such a short span of time, the other party had killed Ming Sha True Monarch?

Not even the time it took to drink a cup of tea?

This was simply like some wild fantasy!

If Ming Sha True Monarch’s corpse were not right in front of her, she would have found it hard to believe, even suspecting that this corpse was fake.

”Fellow Daoist Heavenly Corpse, there’s no need to be nervous. I have not regarded you as an enemy, otherwise you would already be dead.”

Lu Changsheng said with a faint smile, tossing Ming Sha True Monarch’s corpse to the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master as the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool, which looked like an inkstone, appeared in his hand.

To show him that this was no trick.

This shattered Nascent Soul Body served as a greeting gift, to express his sincerity.

After all, such a broken corpse was of very limited use to him.

But in the hands of a power like the Heavenly Corpse Sect, its effect could be maximized.

Hearing this and seeing the corpse Lu Changsheng had thrown over, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s expression darkened.

Arrogant!

Far too arrogant!

I have not regarded you as an enemy, otherwise you would already be dead!

These words completely failed to place him—the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master, a Nascent Soul True Lord—in Lu Changsheng’s eyes.

Yet looking at Ming Sha True Monarch’s corpse before him, and the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool in Lu Changsheng’s hand, he had no way to refute it.

After all, Ming Sha True Monarch, who possessed the Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool, was in no way weaker than him.

In fact, when fully urging this Supreme Treasure, Ming Sha True Monarch even surpassed him by half a measure.

But now, Ming Sha True Monarch had died at the hands of this Yangming True Monarch, and even the Supreme Treasure Myriad Ghosts Blood Pool had fallen into the latter’s hand, which spoke volumes about the other’s strength.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s mind went blank, filled with horror.

He truly could not imagine how this Yangming True Man had accomplished it.

”If Yangming True Monarch has something to say, just speak plainly. There is no need to frighten me like this. This Sect’s cultivation to this day was not grown by being scared!”

As the saying goes, one may lose the fight, but not the presence.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master could see that Lu Changsheng was trying to intimidate him.

But no matter what, he was still a Nascent Soul True Lord; how could he be scared off by a few words?

Even so, he remained extremely cautious.

The Heavenly Corpse Bead above his head was dropping Kunkun Corpse Evil Qi, flooding and covering his body, and he was already prepared to make a move.

”Heh.”

Seeing the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master adopt such a tough stance, a faint smile hooked the corner of Lu Changsheng’s lips.

In an instant, a domineering, peerless surge of Qi-Blood burst out from his body, like a golden flood roaring through heaven and earth.

This Qi-Blood and mana were like billions of divine mountains, pressing down so that heaven and earth trembled, the void shattered, the might surging to the sky.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master instantly felt as if bearing a thousand-jun weight, as though sinking into the Deep Sea; the air around him congealed, and he sensed an unprecedented danger.

It was as if he were facing a primordial Fierce Beast head-on!

Fourth Rank Body Refining, Magical Dual Cultivation!

This Yangming True Monarch’s Qi-Blood and mana both far surpassed his, suppressing him so much he could barely breathe; it seemed that both magic and body had reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

How was this possible!

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master stared at Yangming True Monarch in front of him, his expression filled with utter disbelief.

He knew that Yangming True Man cultivated both magic and body.

But in just a few decades, how could the other’s magic and body both have broken through from Core Formation Late Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Yet the next instant, he only felt that the Yangming True Monarch before him had eyes deep and lofty like the endless cosmos, his entire being as if drawing one into unfathomable depths.

”Buzz!”

His Soul suddenly trembled, and a surge of dread rose to his heart.

He realized that this Yangming True Monarch’s Divine Sense and Soul likewise far outstripped his, having reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

At that moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master lost his nerve.

He accepted the fact that this Yangming True Monarch had, in just a few decades, had both magic and body break through to Fourth Rank Middle Stage, becoming a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant.

Even though it was utterly unbelievable.

But the facts were right in front of him; they could not be faked.

Qi-Blood and mana could still be enhanced through certain methods, but Soul and Divine Sense were extremely difficult to bolster.

At this moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master understood why Ming Sha True Monarch had died in the other’s hands.

This Yangming True Monarch was just as the early rumors had said, a Great Power reincarnated to cultivate anew.

His Cultivation Realm and strength could not be measured by common sense!

In just a few decades, he had become a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant.

Facing him, Ming Sha True Monarch had probably not prepared to go all out, and so died on the spot.

As for that Fourth Rank Demon Evil Qi entrenched in the Yiming Ghost Sect, he also faintly guessed the truth.

Most likely it was this Yangming True Monarch’s Spiritual Pet—the Golden Peng Bird!

”If True Monarch has something to say, please speak; I am willing to listen with washed ears.”

A trace of bitterness rose in the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s heart as he cupped his hands and spoke.

Originally, he had relied on his own strength and Nascent Soul status, thinking that no matter what, he could at least escape when facing Lu Changsheng.

But now, with the other having slain Ming Sha True Monarch and displaying the strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant, the pride in his heart vanished in an instant.

After all, in a remote place like the Jin Kingdom in the Southern Wilderness, there were simply no Nascent Soul Middle Stage giants.

Even across the entire Southern Wilderness Northern Domain, Nascent Soul Middle Stage giants could be counted on one’s fingers; they were Top Level cultivators!
