Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses

Chapter 827 - 681: Evil Deity’s Malice, 7th Layer Spirit Platform

This mysterious crimson human-shaped figure radiated a domineering, feral aura, like a god, like a demon, vastly surpassing every cultivator and demon that had appeared here before.

And it didn’t seem to have an actual physical body; it looked somewhat illusory.

"Damn thief, you swallowed all the blood essence I needed. I’ll definitely kill you!"

The fury in its voice was impossible to hide; even the air around them resonated, letting out a constant buzzing sound.

Very soon, the crimson figure turned back into a cloud of mist and drilled into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

A short while later.

From behind a man-height boulder in the cave, a thumb-sized man walked out.

He had thick brows and big eyes, his face utterly ordinary, looking exactly the same as Red Hero, the persona Lou Yi had been playing.

This was exactly the clone Lou Yi had split off again after his first clone was killed by True Mastery Daoist.

Its Qi-Blood was relatively weak, but its Disguise Talent had also reached the Great Achievement level, so that mysterious Blood Shadow hadn’t noticed it.

"That Blood Shadow’s identity is not simple." Lou Yi’s clone looked at the simple Attribute Panel in front of him, his expression somewhat grim.

He had just used his detection skill and probed a portion of the Blood Shadow’s information.

[Name: ?Taboo Entity Evil Remnant Will?]

[Age: 11086]

[Realm: Unknown]

[Skills: Unknown]

[Attribute: Yin Element]

An old freak who’s lived more than ten thousand years?

Elsewhere, Lou Yi’s true body received this bad news as well.

"What is a taboo entity evil remnant will?" he immediately asked Su Xinghe and Daoist Ming Du. The two of them both came from the Alliance Hierarch’s sect, with deep family backgrounds and extensive knowledge.

The two frowned as soon as they heard Lou Yi’s question.

"That is a true taboo existence, extremely yin and extremely evil, more terrifying than a high-tier Demon." Su Xinghe said, "Only the very top Golden Core Masters and the True Monarchs above them can, after death and with coincidental opportunities, give birth to one.

The instant it emerges, it will have part of its former-life Divine Skills and memories, making it extremely difficult to handle.

I remember your Xuan Yin Sect once spawned a taboo entity evil remnant will, causing no small amount of damage?"

"Don’t bring it up." Daoist Ming Du gave a bitter smile. "That’s our sect’s dark history, already more than three thousand years in the past.

One of our patriarchs’ tombs accidentally spawned a taboo entity evil remnant will, and it even seriously injured the Sect Leader of that generation we had poured countless resources into nurturing, leaving him hopeless of stepping into the Supreme True Monarch Realm. Our sect’s True Monarch lineage almost got cut off..."

"Right, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Ming Du was a bit puzzled. "This is a secret not passed down by the major sects. By rights, people of the Northern Domain shouldn’t know about it."

"Because there is a taboo entity evil remnant will in this blessed land right now." Lou Yi said slowly, making Su Xinghe and Ming Du’s expressions change drastically.

"Impossible!" the two cried out.

But seeing the seriousness on Lou Yi’s face, the two immediately realized how grave the situation was.

"Why didn’t it come for us?" Ming Du said. "By rights, a taboo entity evil remnant will would kill all living things, either enslaving them as its thralls, or draining their blood essence to strengthen itself."

"It probably hasn’t been fully born yet, but it’s close—within the next few days." Based on the hints the taboo entity evil remnant will had let slip earlier, Lou Yi had guessed a portion of the truth.

"Then we have to find it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it’s born, that’ll be our death date!" Su Xinghe’s tone was low.

"Ordinary Master-level remnant wills are still manageable; a taboo entity evil remnant will in a blessed land is definitely derived from Xuan Ji True Monarch. Its Divine Skills will be astonishing; it may very well have strength beyond the Foundation Establishment Level the moment it’s born."

"Even if it’s not at that level yet, it can rapidly devour blood essence to grow stronger, and before it reaches its former-life Cultivation it won’t encounter any bottlenecks. So the earlier we find it, the better." Ming Du said.

After discussing with the two for a while longer, an intense sense of urgency rose in Lou Yi’s heart.

He realized the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.

Lou Yi returned to the single-occupant cave dwelling, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and began divining the fortune and misfortune of this trip into the blessed land.

The hexagram showed: Catastrophic Misfortune.

"As expected." A look of understanding flashed through Lou Yi’s eyes.

The result of this divination was completely different from the previous one, but this time it was the correct one.

Only because he had discovered the mastermind who had previously interfered with the heavenly secrets—the taboo entity evil remnant will—had seen it in person, and obtained lots of information related to it, so he would no longer be fooled.

And the result of "Catastrophic Misfortune" also indicated that the strength of this taboo entity evil remnant will was not something he, as he was now, could contend with.

Thinking of this, Lou Yi’s figure flickered and he left the cave.

In another cave.

The Gold Pig Demon, tied up in a five-flower bind with Spiritual Artifact ropes and covered all over with various talismans, was staring pitifully at this former companion in front of it—the Thousand-legged Insect Demon.

"Old Thousand-legged Brother, you let me go and I’ll acknowledge you as my big brother.

In the future, once I become a Great Demon, I’ll definitely do my best to help you break through..."

However, no matter how it tried to persuade, the Thousand-legged Insect Demon remained indifferent.

It had already thought it through. At this point, it could only walk this road of becoming a demon traitor to the bitter end.

"Fuck your mother, Thousand-legged, you damn demon traitor, I won’t let you off even if I die!" the Gold Pig Demon roared in grief and fury.

The next moment, Lou Yi flickered and appeared beside it.

The Gold Pig Demon’s expression changed instantly; its chubby face squeezed out a fawning smile.

"My lord, I can be a demon traitor too, I can follow you as well..."

’Puff!’

Lou Yi couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He activated the Active skill "Shaking Mountain" and simply punched it.

The Gold Pig Demon was already a punching bag that couldn’t move at all.

Its head took Lou Yi’s iron fist head-on; there was no miracle. It fell on the spot, turning into a dead pig.

Seeing the new prompt that appeared on the Attribute Panel, Lou Yi was quite satisfied and patted the Thousand-legged Insect Demon on the head.
