Red Corpse Divine Lord Meets Her End (First Update)

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had passed.

There were only a few days left before Li Chuan’s time in this world ran out.

Over the past year and a half, the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords of Emei had failed in their attempt to merge. Changkong Wuji had died from the backlash, and True Person Bai Mei had used his remaining flesh and soul to create Lian Xing.

Lian Xing had taken Li Yingqi as his master and had been trying to unlock his mind, recall his memories from his previous life, restore his cultivation, and inherit the Thunder Flame Sword once more.

But none of that mattered. In any case, he had little chance of obtaining the Thunder Flame Sword, so he had not meddled in those affairs.

Perhaps because of his interference, Youquan’s emergence from seclusion had been greatly delayed. Matters had become less urgent, and True Person Bai Mei did not seem to be in a hurry to ascend to the upper realm in search of a new divine artifact capable of dealing with Youquan.

Or perhaps he had already ascended, and Li Chuan simply did not know.

Likewise, he did not know whether it was because Li Chuan was here, because Bai Mei had not ascended to the upper realm, because Youquan was recovering from serious injuries, or simply because the time had not yet come.

Youquan’s ally, Chishishenjun, the leader of the Chishen Cult who specialized in invading others and devouring their primordial spirits, had yet to appear.

"Not bad. You are now highly proficient at refining flying swords, and your Sword Control Technique has entered the beginner stage as well. From here on, you will need to spend time honing it bit by bit."

Dan Chenzi smiled as he looked at the newly formed small flying sword in Li Chuan’s hand.

Over the past year and a half, Li Chuan’s progress had been obvious. At first, he could only refine one small flying sword per month. Now, he could refine one a day.

Dan Chenzi had also taught him all of Emei’s Sword Control Technique.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Li Chuan struck a series of restrictions into the finished small flying sword, then stored it in his Dantian to nourish it.

Under Dan Chenzi’s guidance over the past year and a half, both his artifact-refining skills and Sword Control Technique had improved greatly. At last, he was no longer a complete novice in cultivation.

Other than his actual combat strength exceeding normal standards, he had basically reached the level expected of a Golden Core cultivator in every other respect.

In other words, relying solely on his Golden Core and none of the powers from other worlds, he was still among the more outstanding cultivators at the Core Formation stage.

"Demonic aura!"

At that moment, Dan Chenzi suddenly roared. With a flash, he had already appeared beneath the entrance to the Blood Cave in Panluo Valley.

Li Chuan’s heart stirred, and he followed with an Apparition.

"So, it is merely a little flower demon born under the influence of the Blood Cave’s power. Demon, no matter how enchanting you may be, you are still a demon!"

Dan Chenzi looked at the blood-red, alluring little flower growing from a crack in the rocks, a disdainful expression appearing on his face.

A newly born little flower demon like this possessed strength equivalent only to an early Foundation Establishment cultivator. To an Earth Immortal realm cultivator like him, it was something he could crush with a wave of his hand.

Thus, he immediately let down his guard.

However, the moment Li Chuan saw that enchanting little flower, his heart tightened. He knew that it was not some newly born flower demon at all, but Chishishenjun, also at the Earth Immortal realm, in disguise.

Chishishenjun was the leader of the Chishen Cult, second only to the Blood Demon Palace on the Demonic Path. No one had ever seen her true appearance. Even when Li Chuan had previously asked Dan Chenzi, Dan Chenzi had said that he did not know.

All he knew was that she had chosen the primordial spirit path when advancing in cultivation. She was exceptionally skilled in the arts of seduction and had now become an old demon of the Earth Immortal realm.

However, Li Chuan estimated that while Chishishenjun was at the Earth Immortal realm, her raw strength was likely inferior to Dan Chenzi’s.

Otherwise, in the original story, she would not have gone to such lengths to disguise herself as a little flower demon, win Dan Chenzi’s sympathy, lower his guard, and then catch him off guard to invade his primordial spirit and control his body.

Therefore, Li Chuan did not immediately teleport to Emei to call Bai Mei for help. Instead, he quietly transmitted his voice to Dan Chenzi.

"Senior Brother, be careful of this demon flower. I can sense a powerful True Essence within it that is no weaker than yours.

Hold the line for me. Let me test it."

Voice transmission was a not particularly profound but extremely practical minor spell, and he had learned it long ago.

"Fine. Go all out, Junior Brother. Your senior brother will hold the line for you!"

Dan Chenzi’s body stiffened. He immediately discarded his contempt and replied through voice transmission with utmost vigilance.

Had any other junior brother or sister told him this through voice transmission, he might not have believed it. He had not sensed any especially powerful True Essence from this flower demon. But Li Chuan was different.

Given Li Chuan’s various ancient secret arts and everything he had done before, Dan Chenzi believed him at once.

True Essence nearly as powerful as his own could only belong to someone at the Earth Immortal realm. Disguising herself as a little flower demon now, she was clearly trying to appear weak and ambush him, then enter the Blood Cave to assist Youquan.

"Second Form, Sage Mode, Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In an instant, Li Chuan created two thousand Shadow Clones, filling the entirety of Panluo Valley.

This time, the two thousand Shadow Clones did not cast ninjutsu. Instead, they simultaneously raised their index fingers toward the enchanting little flower, faint green light flickering at their fingertips.

Ever since he had consumed Lotus Fairy’s pill, not only had his True Essence and physical body greatly strengthened, but his primordial spirit had been enhanced as well. Forming a Golden Core had also caused another transformation, comprehensively strengthening his body, True Essence, and primordial spirit.

Thus, a year and a half ago, he had already achieved true wandless spellcasting.

Though the Shadow Clones could not possess Wizard Bloodline like the original body and endlessly convert external energy into magic power, they still carried some magic power of their own and could cast magic a limited number of times.

That was to say, his two thousand Shadow Clones could now cast several spells each without wands, so long as their magic power was not exhausted.

Perhaps sensing Li Chuan’s hostile intent, Chishishenjun immediately transformed into an adorable little flower demon. Pretending to be frightened, she fled in all directions, hoping to win Li Chuan and Dan Chenzi’s sympathy.

"Senior Brother, help me trap her!"

Li Chuan transmitted his voice again.

"Heavenly Dragon Slash!"

Dan Chenzi spread his wings, firing countless flying knives.

Seeing the flying knives shooting toward her, Chishishenjun changed her form and dodged several of them. Then, she deliberately allowed one flying knife to strike her wing and pin her to a rock. Activating a seductive spell, she looked pitifully at Dan Chenzi.

Dan Chenzi’s sympathy was immediately stirred. The flying knives he had sent out stopped in midair, and he began to hesitate.

"Could Junior Brother Qingfeng have made a mistake?"

In Chishishenjun’s eyes, as long as she dealt with Dan Chenzi, Emei’s formidable chief disciple, that insignificant Golden Core cultivator would naturally pose no threat.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Dan Chenzi might have been moved to sympathy, but Li Chuan had not. Two thousand and one Killing Curses shot out at once, dense green magical beams all precisely aimed at Chishishenjun, who was pinned to the rock by the flying knife.

The Killing Curse was specifically lethal to souls. In the Wizarding World, it was the most wicked and deadly magic, impossible to defend against and fatal upon contact.

Even if Chishishenjun was at the Earth Immortal realm, one Killing Curse might not be enough to kill her. But what about two thousand and one?

Even if she did not die, she would be seriously injured!
