Luo Bing, Luo Xue, and the others were all startled. Why had Long Chen's face suddenly changed so drastically, and he even made Bai Shishi admit defeat? Clearly, Shishi had the upper hand, and Ku Wuya was fighting so hard that he coughed up blood nonstop.
"Haha, it's too late."
Ku Wuya suddenly burst into laughter, tossed down his spiked club, formed hand seals, and shouted:
"Corpse Demon Nine Turns, Ghost Curse Devours Life."
With Ku Wuyai's sharp shout, countless black spots began to condense in the void. Previously, Ku Wuyai had been coughing up blood nonstop, but no one noticed that the black blood had just misted into the air.
Only Long Chen noticed that the mistified blood was secretly condensing, forming a faint, almost imperceptible pattern. When Long Chen saw the pattern, he felt a tingling on his scalp and a strong sense of danger instantly filled his entire body.
He suddenly understood: Ku Wuya would rather cough up blood and get injured than compete with Bai Shishi for his primordial power. In fact, he was using his own essence blood to set a trap, so he immediately warned Bai Shishi.
But it was too late. When endless black spots condensed in the void, they finally formed a ferocious being.
These creatures had toads in the front half and hair-like tentacles on the back, strange and terrifying.
When they appear, resentment fills the air, as if ghosts wrongfully killed for ten thousand years are waiting for revenge at any moment.
As soon as they appeared, the resentment swept through the formation in all directions. The spectators felt their hair stand on end, and even the Divine Lord realm experts felt a wave of fear.
"Is that the legendary corpse demon?" After a strong person dies, their resentment does not dissipate, their souls remain intact, and they transform into monsters, devouring resentment and souls to survive. If they continue to grow, they can destroy the entire world. "Someone said in a trembling voice.
The Corpse Demon Path has a long history, but people know little about it. The speaker has read ancient texts and heard of corpse demon legends, and precisely because they've heard of it, they feel fear.
"It's a corpse monster, not a corpse demon. Corpse demons are terrifying beings who, after death, harbor too much resentment and cannot enter reincarnation, so they transform into corpse demons.
Such a corpse demon possesses powerful instinctive consciousness and is very difficult to control. Even if it were, it was not something Ku Wuyai, a disciple of this realm, could handle.
Moreover, controlling corpse demons requires feeding them with one's own essence and soul power. If one mishandles them, they will be devoured by the corpse demons.
Even if someone could control a corpse demon, it was impossible to control so many, so Ku Wuya could only control corpse monsters.
Rumor has it that the Corpse Demon Sect possesses extremely vicious secret arts, using extremely cruel methods to kill people, causing resentment. They extract these grudges and raise corpse monsters. Although corpse monsters cannot compare to corpse demons, they are easier to control. An elder at the Divine Lord Realm spoke up, surprised that someone actually knew some secrets of the Corpse Demon Path.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, on the arena, black spots appeared on Bai Shishi's long sword, and spiderweb-like black patterns gradually appeared on her body.
The black corpse monsters with tentacles in the void suddenly opened their mouths wide, spitting out thin black threads that connected with the black ripples on Bai Shishi's body.
In that instant, Bai Shishi was shocked to find that her body was completely immobilized. An invisible force had trapped her, endless resentment was wildly eroding her soul. In her sea of consciousness, a tsunami-like scream and scream echoed.
"Hahaha, you're still too inexperienced. You have all the skills but can't use them, forcing yourself to fight with the power of the origin?" So childish.
I have used my own essence blood to set up the Corpse Demon Curse Formation. No one can resist it. Accept your fate. "Ku Wuya slowly walked toward Bai Shishi, whose body trembled and her eyes lost focus. Her soul was battling those vengeful spirits.
If her soul was corrupted by the vengeful spirit, her soul would be instantly possessed and would be under Ku Wuya's control.
Ku Wuya walked toward Bai Shishi, glanced at Long Chen, and gave a thumbs-up gesture.
Long Chen suddenly stood up.
"Long Chen, don't. If you try to break the formation by force, you'll be killed." As soon as Long Chen moved, Luo Xue and the others immediately hugged him. Ku Wuya deliberately provoked Long Chen, trying to make him walk right into the trap.
Last time, although Long Chen approached the grand formation, he didn't actively attack the barrier, so he only triggered the formation's passive attack. If the formation had attacked actively, even a Divine Lord realm expert would be wiped out, and Long Chen would surely die. They couldn't just watch him go to his death.
"Whoosh"
Luo Xue and the others felt their bodies tremble, their blood and energy surging. Long Chen had knocked them apart, and amid their startled shouts, Long Chen had already charged toward the arena. Everyone inside and outside the battle stage also exclaimed in shock—how could this guy be so foolish?
"Boom boom boom..."
As Long Chen approached the formation, countless rune swords immediately slashed down on him. Long Chen's face darkened as he kept dodging the rune swords, charging toward the formation.
Long Chen knew how powerful Ku Wuya's Corpse Demon Curse Array was. He had once been cursed before, and with that power, Bai Shishi was simply unable to resist—she had only one death.
Ku Wuya was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Although Bai Shishi was powerful, she clearly lacked experience in fighting enemies and couldn't see through his plans. Because of the great formation's isolation, by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
"Hahaha, Long Chen, you really are an idiot. Come on, come in and fight me!"
If you don't dare to come in, I'll strip Bai Shishi naked in front of everyone and let everyone in the world admire her beauty. How about that? Seeing Long Chen really rush over, Ku Wuya burst out laughing. He had already walked up to Bai Shishi, his large, hairy hand slowly reaching for her collar.
"Stop!"
Long Chen roared. As he approached the barrier, it suddenly stopped firing the rune sword and instead condensed a rune spanning ten thousand li. The rune rapidly shrank and shrank, eventually only a few zhang in size, like an eye, coldly staring at Long Chen.
That eye contained a power that made heaven and earth tremble, as if waiting for Long Chen to approach and mercilessly slay him.
"Long Chen, don't ...!"
Lu Mingxuan, Luo Xue, Mu Qingyun, and the others shouted loudly, their faces full of anxiety. Mu Qingyun was so anxious he burst into tears, his eyes filled with world-destroying power. Long Chen had been unable to save Bai Shishi in the past, and would only risk his own life in vain.
The oppressive aura in those eyes made even those at the Divine Lord realm feel their souls tremble, while Long Chen looked at those eyes and slowly opened his large hand.
"Long Chen, don't ... Pfft...
Bai Shishi suddenly opened her eyes and shouted loudly. In that moment of distraction, she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the golden collar on her chest red.
Bai Shishi was using her soul power to resist the soul invasion of the Corpse Demon Curse Formation. She had just formed a soul defense, temporarily blocking the corpse monster's corrosion and preparing to counterattack, but saw Long Chen already standing atop the barrier. Anxiously, she tried to warn him, but as soon as she spoke, her mind scattered and she couldn't resist the corpse monster's corrosion. Her soul scattered in a flurry.
"Hahaha, Long Chen is a man, so come in!" As he spoke, Ku Wuya's large hand reached out to grab Bai Shishi.
