Chapter 308: Snatching the Corpse

Chi Hu's eyes grew brighter and brighter, finally letting out a roar. His body suddenly stood up, and amidst crackling sounds, his physique instantly expanded several times over. His height reached about Three Zhang, making him look like an iron tower giant.

Veins, like earthworms, writhed across his body. At this moment, he looked like a god or a demon.

Behind him appeared a phantom image, which gradually solidified, revealing itself to be none other than the middle-aged man, Zhou Yi!

As for Zhou Yi's true body, he was currently sitting cross-legged behind, meditating with his eyes closed.

Looking at Hong Die again, her face was now covered in a purplish-black color, completely obscuring her features. Only two clusters of red eerie light could be seen emanating from where her eyes should be. The ribbon in her hair had also torn, and her long hair floated freely, moving without wind.

Traces of Death Qi spread out from her body, permeating the surroundings. Behind her, there was also a phantom image. This phantom was not the old man, but a valiant man. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that this man bore a striking resemblance to the old man, clearly being the old man in his youth.

At this moment, he was enveloped in a black mist. As for his true body, it was sitting cross-legged on the huge coffin behind him, meditating with closed eyes.

Although the man was shrouded in black mist, a strange pattern could vaguely be seen on his body. This pattern depicted a single-horned demonic creature with a ferocious and sharp appearance.

Chi Hu roared, and his body suddenly moved. His massive physique was not lacking in agility; he was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, charging forward madly. He clenched his fists, and a huge vortex appeared above the phantom behind him, immediately emitting a powerful suction force.

The valiant man behind Hong Die immediately formed hand seals. At the same time, Hong Die's hands also moved in conjunction, changing hand seals. Instantly, streams of Death Qi rapidly materialized in front of her, forming a long bow!

The moment Chi Hu roared and charged, the eerie light in Hong Die's eyes flashed brightly. She grabbed the long bow and immediately drew it.

"Bang!"

As she let go, a gray Death Qi immediately transformed into an arrow, shooting forth and colliding with Chi Hu.

"Bang!"

The earth trembled, but it did not shatter extensively. Clearly, the power of Chi Hu and Hong Die's attacks remained at the Late Stage Soul Transformation, not exceeding it.

However, the Laws of heaven and earth contained within these attacks far surpassed the Soul Transformation Stage.

Chi Hu's body retreated several tens of zhang, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood. The phantom image of the middle-aged man behind him immediately frowned, forming hand seals. Chi Hu moved accordingly, and a strange incantation came from his mouth.

Instantly, the sky suddenly darkened, and strange Qi actually flew out from the spatial cracks that appeared, rapidly condensing in front of Chi Hu.

In a blink of an eye, a huge sphere appeared in front of him, from which emanated waves of majestic Aura.

Wang Lin's eyes brightened as he watched the scene from afar, seemingly enlightened. This method of commanding the power of heaven and earth was clearly more ingenious than merely borrowing it.

The valiant man behind Hong Die's eyes flashed. The phantom image instantly transformed into green smoke, all of which drilled into Hong Die's Heavenly Spirit. Hong Die immediately let out several unconscious whimpers, her body trembling.

But immediately, four spiritual bodies of different colors abruptly emerged from her body, positioning themselves in front of her.

"Huh? Why is there one Earth Spirit missing!" A deep male voice came from within Hong Die's body.

At the sight of these Four Spirits, Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and he remained silent.

After the Four Spirit Bodies appeared in front of Hong Die, Chi Hu suddenly roared loudly, a look of pain on his face. The axe pattern on his forehead, between his eyebrows, flashed continuously, its speed increasing rapidly. Finally, it abruptly detached from his body and imprinted itself onto the huge sphere in front of him.

Instantly, the sphere trembled, then strangely wriggled, changing shape to become a Heaven-Opening Axe.

At this moment, Chi Hu's pores burst open with popping sounds, spewing out large amounts of fresh blood. He looked like a man of blood, grabbing the axe and taking large strides, charging towards Hong Die.

His momentum was like a rainbow, his body like crimson.

"My Concept is obsession! Because I can be obsessed with love, I can reach the extreme in my Concept. This obsessed Concept can shake the heavens and move the earth. Chi Hu, I will use your body once to let you experience the Concept I haven't shown for a thousand years. Even if you die, you can rest in peace!" The phantom image behind Chi Hu slowly spoke.

At this moment, a strange Concept enveloped Chi Hu's body. The pain on Chi Hu's face was completely gone, replaced by a battle-crazed expression that made one's heart tremble.

His eyes, moreover, showed determination. His gaze was not directed at Hong Die, but at the axe in his hand, with even greater resolve.

Obsession, sometimes, is not necessarily for a person; it can also be for an object. Chi Hu's obsession was this axe! His Dao Heart, at this moment, was also this axe! If the axe does not break, then the battle soul will not perish!

This determination transformed into powerful Battle Intent. At this moment, Chi Hu, holding the axe, was like a giant of heaven and earth, performing the act of creation!

"Obsession, also known as a persistent belief. This Zhou Yi's Concept is strange! The Aura unleashed by this persistent belief, even though Chi Hu is only at the Soul Transformation Stage, gives off a powerful Aura that can slay Immortals." Wang Lin's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately perceived the true meaning contained within this obsessed Concept.

The eerie light in Hong Die's eyes brightened. She suddenly pointed at her glabella, and a Rose appeared. However, this Rose was no longer red, but black.

From the black Rose, she tore off two stamens without hesitation, along with all the petals, throwing them out to merge with the Four Spirits of heaven and earth, forming a powerful vortex.

At the same time, a wisp of green smoke suddenly flew out from Hong Die's glabella. As soon as this green smoke appeared, it immediately transformed into the valiant man. With a single movement, he entered the vortex. Instantly, the vortex's momentum paused, and amidst rumbling sounds, it fused with the valiant man, becoming one.

Amidst the wriggling, it actually transformed into a single-horned demonic creature, which bared its fangs and let out a silent roar.

Hong Die's body trembled. After the valiant man left her body, she involuntarily retreated a few steps, the black Qi on her face completely gone, her complexion terrifyingly pale, and her consciousness restored in her eyes.

Chi Hu arrived, cleaving down with an axe. A bright light streaked across the sky, and the demonic creature roared again, meeting it with a claw.

"Bang!"

The axe was forcefully deflected, and countless black petals fell from the demonic creature's claw.

Chi Hu's gaze sharpened, and he cleaved down again.

"Bang!"

The demonic creature's claw shattered, revealing two stamens.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

With three consecutive axe strikes, the stamens completely collapsed. However, the axe in Chi Hu's hand also shattered into specks of crystal light when the demonic creature roared and struck it with its single horn.

But the demonic creature also dissipated, turning into nothingness. At this moment, the old man sitting cross-legged on the coffin swayed, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and became completely listless, seemingly without any magical power left.

Chi Hu's body shook violently, staring blankly at his empty right hand. His belief was this Heaven-Opening Axe, his Battle Intent was born from this axe, and his Dao Heart was even more so this Heaven-Opening Axe!

At this moment, with the axe's collapse, the obsessed Concept Zhou Yi had imbued him with also dissipated.

A trace of clarity appeared in Chi Hu's eyes, but immediately, he let out a miserable groan.

Pain, his body was in intense, excruciating pain!

Chi Hu fell headfirst, landing on the ground with a thud, his face pale and devoid of any color.

Wang Lin stared blankly at the scene before him, sucking in a cold breath.

"What is my Dao Heart?"

Hong Die and Chi Hu successively regained consciousness. Zhou Yi's phantom image in the Void Realm also returned to the top of his true body, gradually descending. But just then, a huge, pitch-black Ghostly Claw suddenly extended from the Void Realm, grabbing down abruptly.

This Ghostly Claw was extremely close to Zhou Yi. His Primordial Spirit, separated from his body, immediately changed greatly in expression, roaring and quickly rushing back into his body. The moment the Ghostly Claw grabbed, his Primordial Spirit entered his body, barely dodging a fraction to the side, but was still struck by the Ghostly Claw.

A huge wound immediately appeared on Zhou Yi's abdomen, blood gushing out. However, the Ghostly Claw's target was not Zhou Yi's body, but his Storage Pouch.

Zhou Yi's body was merely grazed by it. As for the Storage Pouch, with a "bang," it completely shattered, and countless items flew out from within. Among them, a Pagoda was grabbed by the Ghostly Claw and quickly flew back.

"No!!!" Zhou Yi's eyes were bloodshot, ignoring the wound on his abdomen. His voice was extremely mournful, as if piercing through heaven and earth, causing listeners grief.

He did not hesitate, resolutely abandoning his Physical Body. His Primordial Spirit left his body and chased after the Pagoda.

"Ting'er, I will never let anyone take you from me! Never!"

Without his Primordial Spirit controlling it, Zhou Yi's Physical Body immediately gushed blood, his face as pale as paper, falling to the side. For Ting'er, Zhou Yi was willing to let his Physical Body perish.

Thousands of years of companionship, daily confidences, constant togetherness—these scenes, while grieving Zhou Yi, drove him to madness.

Ting'er was his reverse scale!

His Primordial Spirit, fast as lightning, shot away. But just then, the old man on the coffin suddenly opened his eyes. His body flashed instantly, appearing before Zhou Yi's Primordial Spirit, laughing heartily:

"Zhou Yi, you are indeed formidable. If you were given another thousand years, it might not be impossible for you to enter the Soul Transformation Stage. But you don't know that as the Grand Elder of the Corpse Yin Sect, I possess Three Souls! You only destroyed one of my souls; how could you kill me!"

As he spoke with a laugh, the Ghostly Claw behind him flickered, transforming into a young man. This young man also bore a strong resemblance to the old man, and what he held in his hand was precisely the Pagoda.

Wang Lin watched the scene before him, took a deep breath, his eyes flashing as they fell upon the weakened Hong Die on the ground.

At this moment, Zhou Yi's eyes revealed a trace of madness, staring at the old man like a man-eating Vicious Beast.

"Give me Ting'er!!!"

"Ting'er? Haha, Zhou Yi, you actually named a corpse. This is an Immortal's corpse; she was probably born when you were still in Reincarnation." The old man laughed heartily. The young man behind him also grinned, patting the Pagoda with his right hand. Instantly, a white light flew out from within.

The female corpse appeared!
