Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 597 - 574: The Subtle Use of Belief Power

Chapter 597: Chapter 574: The Subtle Use of Belief Power

“Our sect has truly reached the moment of life and death.

If we cannot overcome this hurdle, everything—Fake Pills, Foundation Establishment, Qi Cultivation—will be for naught. Time is running out…”

’Time is running out.’

Leaving the cave of Elder Qian Yuan.

His words keep echoing in Lou Yi’s mind.

The Supreme Elder’s life span is running low, and the situation facing the Corpse-Driving Sect is extremely dire.

If a new Golden Core cannot be born, even repelling the demon clan attacking Zhao Kingdom will be of no use to the bigger picture.

Thus, the Corpse-Driving Sect has placed all its hopes on these Golden Core seeds.

Everyone above Dao Foundation perfection has been sent to the Abyss in search of that elusive glimmer of hope.

Everything must make way for the birth of a new Golden Core.

Therefore, the security of Zhao Kingdom, a vast nation, is something the Corpse-Driving Sect can hardly attend to, and can only delay its downfall as much as possible.

Lou Yi also understands.

After all, without a Golden Core Master holding the fort, Zhao Kingdom will eventually become a playground for the demon clan, and the human race’s fate will become extremely tragic.

And as long as a new Golden Core is born, even if Zhao Kingdom falls now, it can be reclaimed later.

’Time is truly running out.’

A strong sense of crisis suddenly arises in Lou Yi’s heart.

As the saying goes, under a toppled nest, no egg will remain intact.

If the Corpse-Driving Sect is destroyed, these disciples won’t have a good outcome either; they’ll surely become prime targets for the demon clan.

Strength, I must enhance my strength quickly!

Lou Yi doesn’t know how many more years the Supreme Elder can live; he can only push forward desperately, enhance himself as much as possible, and survive the coming changes.

Most of his current strength lies in martial arts.

To quickly break through to the later stage of Martial Saint, he needs to find the crucial item, the Five-Colored Lingzhi.

And after reaching Martial Saint, he’ll have to find an opportunity to explore the Yin Fiend Realm again.

As for the key items for other talents, even Elder Qian Yuan couldn’t obtain them, so he might have to try his luck in the Abyss sooner or later.

But for now, he must make use of his existing power.

Like the newly obtained Belief Power, Lou Yi has a bold idea that needs testing.

Therefore, after leaving the Borrowed Path Peak, Lou Yi did not immediately return to his cave but instead left the sect, arriving at a desolate mountain dozens of miles away.

Lou Yi’s right hand formed a blade, transparent red energy clung to the edge of his palm, then slashed hard towards his left arm.

’Puh.’

Most of his left arm flew out.

Just before falling to the ground, it suddenly elongated and expanded, surrounded by rolling white mist, forming a person identical to Lou Yi within ten breaths.

’Belief Power is toxic; it can contaminate the flesh and even the soul, so can it be used on the avatar?’

Thinking of this, Lou Yi instinctively activated his Divination Talent.

The hexagram showed something strange, half ominous, half auspicious, indicating uncertainty.

Lou Yi thought for a moment, deciding not to take risks, and waited for a few hours for the Divination Talent’s cooldown, first activating the Disguise Talent advanced to the Great Success Level on his main body, and then again activating the Divination Talent to test for omens.

This time the hexagram showed auspiciousness.

Lou Yi didn’t feel assured, spent considerable time conducting multiple tests, and when the results consistently showed auspiciousness, he relaxed.

’The Disguise Talent at the Great Success Level can interfere with divine will, isolate cause and effect, it’s perfect for this situation.’

’The power of Belief Power, the upcoming results will reveal.’

From Lou Yi’s body, a drop of sesame-sized milky-white liquid flew out, precisely the gift from Elder Qian Yuan, and went into the avatar’s body next.

The avatar tried to assimilate it.

’Boom!’

Instantly, an energy surge as if a landslide or tsunami erupted inside, catching Lou Yi’s avatar off guard.

The massive energy caused the body to swell, with wisps of cracks appearing on the surface of the flesh.

The aura of the avatar ascended at a terrifying speed.

Within three to four breaths, it approached Lou Yi’s main body, and could not be constrained.

The desolate mountain was only dozens of miles away from the Corpse-Driving Sect, posing a risk of exposure.

Lou Yi waved his hand, a long black-white scroll quickly spread on the ground, it was the Hundred Corpses Debt Life Trapping Soul Array, precisely covering the avatar.

After the avatar absorbed the Belief Power, Lou Yi’s main body suddenly felt a tremendous sense of crisis, but it quickly vanished.

This shows that the Disguise Talent indeed can shield against the side effects of Belief Power.

’Boom!’

The avatar lightly threw a punch, and the black-white array map shook violently.

Numerous grey lines inside quivered irregularly, and the 108 evil spirit images in the center of the array blurred considerably.

With just a casual strike, the Hundred Corpses Array that could trap Foundation Establishment and Demon Generals almost burst.

Lou Yi dared not experiment further, but felt a bit terrified inside.

Because the avatar just born has only a tenth of the main body’s strength.

When the avatar reaches its limit, just at thirty percent of the main body’s strength, and then merges with the thumb-sized Belief Power liquid, what kind of strength will it unleash?

It is bound to be a lot stronger than the current main body, definitely able to become a significant trump card!

But…

Lou Yi looked at the avatar inside the array.

After sustaining for around twenty breaths, the avatar’s aura suddenly plummeted to rock bottom.

Its expression was listless, complexion pale, qi-blood decreased more than half compared to before, evidently severely damaged.

’Belief Power is poison.’ Elder Qian Yuan’s words suddenly flashed in Lou Yi’s mind.

Using Belief Power results in a low after the burst, not to mention its huge side effect of polluting the flesh and soul, making it impossible to advance to the Golden Core in this lifetime.

But if used on an avatar that can regenerate infinitely, all its drawbacks cease to be drawbacks, instead becoming another significant trump card that can have miraculous effects at critical moments.

Next, Lou Yi transferred the main body’s thumb-sized Belief Power liquid to the avatar.

Since it just assimilated Belief Power, the avatar’s perception was extremely keen at this moment.

Its mind sank into this milky-white liquid, hearing more voices, seeing many richer, more in-depth scenes compared to before.

“Quick, the monster is coming, Duo’er quickly hide, don’t make a sound.”

“Dad, can we survive?”

“Red Hero bless us, we definitely can!

Oh, but it’s a pity for Elder Wen, could not stop those damned demons…”

A middle-aged, plump man in blue silk clothing, dusty all over, rather disheveled, tightly held a seven or eight-year-old girl in his arms, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

In his mind, he can’t help but recall that astonishing battle a few days ago.

The plump middle-aged man did not know, that eyes in the void were watching him.

Even his innermost thoughts could be sensitively perceived, as though playing out in front of these eyes like a slideshow.
