Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1025: 511: Annihilation

Chapter 1025: Chapter 511: Annihilation

In the Fiend Pool.

Evil Qi surged and tumbled, drop by drop of malice stirred and splashed, casting a thousand waves.

“Worthy to be born in this world, a peerless figure of unmatched talent, able to see through my essence at a glance.”

After a brief silence, a voice filled with vicissitude and chilling eeriness emerged.

Among the seven Heavenly Corpses, the strongest one, with hair sprouting, abruptly raised its eyelids, opened its eyes, revealing a pair of pitch-black orbs and cast its gaze upon Chen Mu, speaking somewhat stiffly.

His tone carried a slight sigh.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect has been passed down for centuries, and the reason it could persist under the suppression of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court is because he, the initial sect leader, was originally a member of the Da Xuan Royal Family!

However, having failed to seize the throne back then, he staked everything on a desperate venture, escaping with the Corpse Refinement Secret Method to found the Heavenly Corpse lineage. Later, in an attempt to re-seize the throne with another bloodline supported by the growing sect, he failed once more, leading to the sect being hunted and suppressed by the entire world.

By then, he had already refined a Heavenly Corpse and even reached the peak of this secret technique, achieving Corpse Unification, wielding power comparable to a Celestial Master, and being intimately aware of the myriad depths of the Imperial Court, thus the court could do nothing against him.

After reaching the pinnacle of Corpse Unification, he destroyed that part of the secret method, only preserving the remaining portions to pass down, ensuring that he would be the sole existence to achieve this realm, so went by hundreds of years.

After unifying the corpse and human, he did not transcend the heavens but seemed stuck at some unique juncture, evading the control of heaven and earth, existing perpetually in a bizarre state between half-human and half-corpse, half-dead and half-alive, almost free from the constraints of mortality.

Now.

If counted from the era of his birth, his true age has already approached a thousand years!

“Are you very proud?”

Chen Mu looked at the initial sect leader of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and said with a calm tone: “You turned yourself into this half-dead, neither human nor ghost form, clinging to life in the world. Are you very satisfied?”

The initial sect leader of Heavenly Corpse Sect heard this but did not get angry. Having lived for nearly a thousand years, his mentality was quite different from ordinary people, accustomed to the cycles of life and death, to the transience of things, his demeanor had long become exceedingly tranquil.

Swish.

With a slight move, he walked out of the Sha Qi Pool slowly, standing in front of Chen Mu, his gaze fixed on Chen Mu, calmly saying: “Cultivating to the realm you have reached, you should know, all paths and all methods are accessible before the God Realm, and your Martial Arts can commune with the divine, just like my Corpse Path, capable of reaching the Deity. Perhaps my strength does not match yours, but the distance between me and the God Realm may not be much further than yours.”

Chen Mu, hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh: “In terms of age, you should have lived for nearly a thousand years, I thought your millennia of experience could yield some grand discourse, yet to find your perception so narrow. The Path of Corpse Refinement from beyond boundaries indeed might be a direct path to the God Realm, but despite my limited understanding of Corpse Refinement, I can roughly determine that corpse transformation into a living being, breaking the boundary of life and death, is the key to this path.”

“And you? Trying to use the human body, borrowing the corpse to return the soul, your pursuit is merely prolonging life, merely survival, your Soul Heart and will have already decayed beyond repair, yet you dare to talk grandly about the God Realm? How do you compare to Ji Yongzhao, he presumably knows the art of Corpse Refinement, but ultimately he did not choose this route to linger on.”

Chen Mu’s words ripped apart the mask of the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s initial sect leader, truly words that strike at the heart, causing the entire body of the sect leader to tremble, unable to stabilize his breath for a moment.

Lies do not hurt, truth is the knife!

The sect leader of Heavenly Corpse Sect may not understand the God Realm much, but having lived for nearly a thousand years, exploring that path all along, upon hearing Chen Mu’s words now, he knew Chen Mu’s words were undoubtedly true!

Otherwise, why would he be stuck here for centuries, no matter how he refines the body, unable to push the Heavenly Corpse Body further, no matter how he focuses, unable to strengthen the Soul Heart even a bit.

Just as Chen Mu said.

Corpse Refinement, the fundamental approach was not like this.

It requires a special environment, a particular world, under the heavenly creation, allowing the undecayed corpse to gain spirituality, then slowly cultivate, break the boundary of life and death, break the shackles of previous life, to live anew, only then can one affirm the path to the God Realm.

And any corpse refinement, even manipulating refined corpses, is merely harnessing external objects, even achieving some human-corpse unification still depends on external entities, and by using external entities, one can never cross into the God Realm.

Although Chen Mu does not know the Path of Corpse Refinement, he cultivated the Indestructible Soul, with half a foot in the God Realm, as the saying goes if one path is understood, all paths are understood. Just by temporarily observing the state of the initial sect leader of Heavenly Corpse Sect and the other six Heavenly Corpses, he broadly understood this road.

The initial sect leader of Heavenly Corpse Sect’s energy fluctuated, his Inner Breath that hadn’t surged for hundreds of years continually stirred, until a long time passed, he finally stepped forward, speaking in a deep voice:

“…So what?”

“At least I am still alive!”

“Those from my era, even my descendant generation, have long turned into a handful of yellow earth.”

“Being alive means there is still a chance, being dead means no chance at all! How my will has decayed matters not, at least I can still make amends, if I acquire the Secret Technique for cultivating the Soul Heart, I can still continue Heart Refinement and Spirit Refinement, to charge for the God Realm!”
