Chapter 502
After Fu Shaoping and Elder Yan successfully cracked the ancient gate barrier, they slowly stepped into the ruins. As soon as they entered, a gloomy and cold breath hit them, making them shudder. Looking up, they saw a blood moon hanging high in the sky. The blood-red moonlight sprinkled in every corner of the ruins, dyeing everything a strange red.
Suddenly, a dull sound of footsteps was heard, and the ground began to tremble slightly. The incarnation corpse puppet appeared. It was huge, several dozen feet tall, and exuded a foul smell. The corpse puppet's eyes flashed with a dark green light, empty and full of murderous intent.
Fu Shaoping's heart tightened. He knew that this spirit-transforming corpse puppet was very powerful and should not be underestimated. But he quickly calmed down, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
The spirit-transforming corpse puppet launched the attack first, and it used its first magical power - bone-corroding poisonous mist. The corpse puppet opened its mouth and a dark green poisonous mist spurted out of its mouth. Wherever the poisonous mist went, the stones on the ground were quickly corroded, making a "sizzling" sound.
Fu Shaoping did not dare to neglect it, he decided to perform the Daluo Vajra Seal first. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and chanted an ancient spell. His spiritual power began to run wildly in his body, gathering on his hands along a specific meridian route. A golden seal gradually formed between his hands, and the runes on the seal flickered, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
"Daluo Vajra Seal, subdue demons and remove filth!" Fu Shaoping shouted, pushing his hands forward. The golden seal flew towards the spirit-transforming corpse puppet like a meteor. During the flight, the seal continued to grow larger, and when it approached the corpse puppet, it had turned into a huge golden palm print. Wherever the golden palm print passed, the air was squeezed to make a "whooshing" sound, and a deep gully was pressed into the ground.
The golden palm print collided with the bone-corrupting poisonous mist, and the poisonous mist tried to erode the golden palm print, but the spiritual power of the Vajra Seal was too strong and dispersed the poisonous mist bit by bit. However, the spirit-transforming corpse puppet took this opportunity to swing its huge arm and sweep towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping quickly dodged sideways, but his arm was still scratched by the corpse puppet's nails, and a sharp pain came.
Fu Shaoping thought to himself: "This spirit corpse puppet is really powerful. We must not underestimate the enemy." Nangong Wan, who was standing by, saw that Fu Shaoping was injured and quickly used the formation to assist him. Nangong Wan waved her hands, and spiritual power threads shot out from her fingertips. These spiritual power threads quickly woven into a complex formation around Fu Shaoping. The runes on the formation flickered, echoing with the spiritual power in Fu Shaoping's body.
"Brother Fu, this formation can enhance your spiritual power output and defense." Nangong Wan shouted.
Fu Shaoping nodded, feeling the power blessing brought by the formation. He then performed the Qiankun Nianluan Palm. This time, he adjusted his stance first, with his feet slightly apart, knees bent, and the center of gravity of his body lowered. He circulated his spiritual power again, but this time the direction of the spiritual power was opposite to the previous one, forming a reverse spiritual power flow. This reverse spiritual power flow constantly collided and merged in his body, generating a more powerful force.
He slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other, and began to rotate in a strange trajectory. As the speed of rotation became faster and faster, a black vortex appeared between his hands. This vortex continued to devour the surrounding spiritual power, including the spiritual power in Nangong Wan's formation. The vortex became larger and larger, and finally Fu Shaoping pushed his hands forward, and the black vortex whistled towards the transformed corpse puppet.
"The world is in chaos, it's turned upside down!" Fu Shaoping roared.
The Spirit Corpse Puppet was slightly slowed down by the attack of the Daluo Diamond Seal, and before it could fully recover, it was attacked by the Qiankun Reverse Palm. The black vortex hit the body of the Corpse Puppet and instantly wrapped it up. The Corpse Puppet struggled in the vortex, and the rotten flesh on its body was torn off bit by bit by the power of the vortex, and green pus splashed everywhere. But the Spirit Corpse Puppet was powerful after all, and it began to release its second magical power - Corpse Soul Impact.
Countless dark green souls emerged from the corpse puppet's body, and these souls rushed towards the black vortex. They kept hitting the vortex, trying to break through the vortex's restraints. Fu Shaoping only felt a strong soul impact coming, and his mind was stabbed with pain, as if countless sharp needles were piercing his soul. He gritted his teeth and persisted, increasing the output of spiritual power.
At this time, the spirit-transforming corpse puppet took out its acquired spiritual treasure, the Corpse Banner. With a wave of the Corpse Banner, a strong corpse aura spread out, cooperating with the attack of the corpse soul, and the black vortex gradually showed signs of being broken.
Seeing this, beads of sweat appeared on Fu Shaoping's forehead. He knew that he had to continue attacking, otherwise if the corpse puppet broke free, the situation would become even more dangerous. So he used the Prisoner Ice Seal again. He took out a blue ice crystal from his storage bag. This ice crystal was a treasure he accidentally found in an extremely cold place many years ago. He held the ice crystal in his hand and injected spiritual power into it. The ice crystal began to emit a biting cold, and Fu Shaoping's hands were also covered with ice.
He quickly formed seals with both hands, merging the spiritual power in the ice spirit crystal with his own spiritual power, and then shot a series of ice-blue sealing runes in the direction of the transformed corpse puppet. These runes quickly combined in the air to form a huge ice-blue seal. The seal was engraved with ancient forbidden runes, and the runes flashed with cold light.
"Prison the sky with ice and seal it to freeze everything!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
The ice-blue seal pressed towards the Transformed Corpse Puppet, and together with the black vortex of the Qiankun Reverse Palm, it formed a double pincer attack on the Corpse Puppet. The Corpse Puppet had part of its body sealed in ice, and its movements became even slower. But it still resisted stubbornly, and the green light in its eyes became stronger, as if it was brewing a more powerful counterattack.
At this time, Fu Shaoping summoned the Star Scimitars again. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and chanted a spell. Countless stars suddenly flashed in the sky, and the light of the stars gathered together to form twelve scimitars emitting bright starlight. Fu Shaoping pointed his finger at the corpse puppet, and the twelve star scimitars shot towards the corpse puppet like arrows.
Each star scimitar cut through the air during flight, making a sharp whistling sound. The blade of the scimitar flashed with the power of the stars, which had a strong cutting ability. When the star scimitar approached the corpse puppet, the corpse puppet tried to resist with its arms. But the star scimitar easily cut the corpse puppet's arm, and green blood splashed onto the surrounding ground, making a "sizzling" sound and corroding the ground.
Fu Shaoping did not stop, he summoned twelve more Thunder Swords. Twelve Thunder Swords appeared around him, the swords flashing with arcs. Fu Shaoping quickly formed seals with both hands, and formed the twelve Thunder Swords into the Taiyi Sword Formation. He stood in the sword formation, and the sword formation began to slowly rotate, and each sword released a powerful thunder and lightning force.
"Taiyi sword formation, thunder shaking the nine heavens!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
The Taiyi Sword Formation flew towards the Transformed Corpse Puppet, the power of thunder and lightning intertwined with the power of the Star Scimitar. Thunder and lightning continued to bombard the Corpse Puppet, further burning the rotten flesh on the Corpse Puppet, while the Star Scimitar continued to cut the Corpse Puppet's body under the cover of thunder and lightning. The Transformed Corpse Puppet roared in pain, and its body began to shake.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the spirit corpse puppet used the third magical power again - corpse demon disintegration. Its body suddenly swelled up, and then split into countless small corpse puppets, which rushed towards Fu Shaoping and his group. Fu Shaoping was shocked. He did not expect that the corpse puppet had this trick. In order to be on the safe side, Fu Shaoping used the flying demon to protect his body. A layer of golden light appeared around his body, and there was a faint shadow of the Buddha statue in the light. This layer of light can not only resist external attacks, but also enhance his own strength.
"Brother Fu, I will give you some more spiritual power." Nangong Wan shouted, and she once again increased the spiritual power output of the formation, and more spiritual power continued to be injected into Fu Shaoping's body.
Fu Shaoping felt the surge of spiritual power in his body, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He felt that it was not enough, so he summoned the Heavenly Dragon God of the Underworld Temple for help. He put his hands together and chanted the ancient summoning spell. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a huge crack appeared. A Heavenly Dragon God radiating a sacred light flew out of the crack. The Heavenly Dragon God hovered above Fu Shaoping's head, its dragon scales flashing with dazzling light, and a pair of dragon eyes looked at the transformed corpse puppet majestically.
"Dragon God, help me defeat the demon!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
The Sky Dragon God roared and swooped down towards the Transformed Corpse Puppet. Its claws were extremely sharp and it grabbed the Corpse Puppet's head. The small Corpse Puppets dodged one after another, then gathered together again and combined into the original Transformed Corpse Puppet.
Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to perform his natal talisman seal. He took out his natal talisman from his forehead, and the natal talisman exuded his unique spiritual energy. He placed the natal talisman in his hand and injected a large amount of spiritual energy. The natal talisman began to burn and turned into a powerful seal. This seal was integrated with Fu Shaoping's natal power and was extremely powerful.
"My natal talisman seal, my natal blessing!" Fu Shaoping shouted.
The natal spirit seal flew towards the corpse puppet, and together with other spells, formed a final siege on the corpse puppet. Under the attack of so many powerful spells, the corpse puppet finally couldn't hold on. Its body began to collapse, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a pile of rotten meat and broken bones.
Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief, his body shaking a little due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy. Nangong Wan hurried over to support him.
"Brother Fu, are you okay?" Nangong Wan asked with concern.
Fu Shaoping shook his head, looking at the mess on the ground, his heart filled with emotion. Elder Yan also came over and patted Fu Shaoping on the shoulder.
"Brother Fu, it's all thanks to you this time." Elder Yan said.
Fu Shaoping smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's help, especially Nangong Wan's formation assistance, otherwise I would not be able to deal with this spirit corpse puppet alone."
After the transformed corpse puppet was completely defeated, Fu Shaoping and others' tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and they immediately began to collect the corpse puppet materials.
At this time, the ruins were filled with a strong stench of decay, which was emitted after the corpse puppets were broken up. The blood moon was still hanging high in the sky, and the blood-red light it cast made the messy battlefield even more eerie and terrifying. The broken walls and ruins around still had traces of the battle, and the deep gullies were the masterpieces of the collision of spells. Some places on the ground were still emitting wisps of black smoke, as if telling the story of the thrilling battle just now.
Fu Shaoping resisted the nauseating smell and took out a pair of special gloves from the storage bag. The gloves were made of the skin of the rhinoceros beast, soft to the touch but tough, and able to resist the erosion of the evil power remaining on the corpse puppet material. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and began to search carefully in the pile of debris. His eyes were filled with caution and expectation, after all, the material of the corpse puppet was extremely precious.
"The materials used to make this corpse puppet are not easy to clean up, so everyone be careful." Fu Shaoping said to his companions as he was searching.
"Well, this evil aura really makes people uncomfortable." Nangong Wan responded with a frown.
Fu Shaoping looked at the wreckage intently. The skeleton of the corpse puppet is an extremely hard material. Each piece has a cold texture. Its hardness is comparable to that of black iron, and it contains a special kind of death. He gently picked up a piece of bone, feeling the cold breath on the bone spreading up along his arm. He couldn't help but feel a little scared, but when he thought of the value of these bones, he strengthened his determination. He carefully picked up the skeleton of the corpse puppet one by one and put it into a storage box specially used to store materials. When each bone was put into the storage box, it would make a slight collision sound. In this quiet and somewhat depressing ruins, the sound was like knocking on the tip of everyone's heart.
"If this bone can be processed properly, the magic weapon refined from it will definitely be extremely powerful." Fu Shaoping murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Then, his eyes fell on the eyeballs of the corpse puppet. Although the eyeballs had lost their green light in the battle, they still emitted a weak spiritual fluctuation. At this time, the eyeballs looked like two turbid gems, revealing a strange aura. The eyeballs of the corpse puppet are a rare spiritual object. It is said that they can be used to refine some special elixirs, or inlaid in magic weapons to increase their power. Fu Shaoping frowned, as if to cheer himself up, then wrapped the eyeballs with spiritual power, gently removed them, and put them in a small box made of chalcedony. Chalcedony has the function of purification and preservation, which can prevent the spiritual power of the eyeballs from dissipating. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an extremely difficult task.
Looking at the rotten flesh of the corpse puppets, it was a pile of disgusting stuff, emitting a strong stench, and green juice was constantly oozing out. Fu Shaoping took out a special dagger from the storage bag. The dagger was made of Nine Yang Refined Gold. As soon as the dagger was unsheathed, it exuded a hot breath, which was in sharp contrast to the surrounding rotten smell. He gritted his teeth, cut off some relatively intact rotten flesh, and put it in a sealed glass bottle. These rotten flesh may come in handy when refining pills or puppets, but it needs to go through an extremely complicated purification and refining process. While doing this, he couldn't help complaining: "This rotten flesh is really too difficult to deal with. I hope it can really come in handy in the future."
Nangong Wan, who was standing by, was not idle either. Her eyes were attracted by the corpse banner dropped by the corpse puppet. (End of this chapter)
