Chapter 1066: Positions Reversed

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Surrounded by such ominous energy, Lu Li felt he was frozen by ice. Not only could he not move his body, but his blood also seemed to have stopped flowing. He could not think. All that was left in his soul was fear!

historical

This was the most dreadful energy Lu Li had ever encountered, even more so than that of God of Barbarian, God of Wings or Emperor of Heaven Reverse, or... the energy he felt within the Slayer’s blood.

Of course, this was an unequal comparison and Lu Li could tell since he already experienced the Slayer’s blood, the avatar of Emperor of Heaven Reverse and the others whereas there was an immortal’s body lying here. If and when he encountered a real immortal, Lu Li would feel equally horrifying energy.

“It is over!”

The first Dead Soul Charm spired such a reaction from the immortal’s body. Lu Li could not move. How could he discharge the other Dead Soul Charms? The immortal’s body was reacting so violently. Would it move about the next second and tear Lu Li apart?

Lu Li felt he would die soon due to the pressure even if the immortal’s body remained still. His blood was not flowing, and his breath was coming to a stop. If he did not find a way, he would die here eventually.

“No!”

Lu Li was reluctant to accept that kind of fate. His death was not the most regrettable outcome. However, back at the Great Land, if Yan Gu and the others could not have the Wicked Bead or Lu Li, they would begin to slaughter the humans there. Many innocent men would die. The Great Land would be drowned by blood and bodies would lie in the wilderness...

Those scenes made Lu Li more unwilling to let go. His desire for survival grew strong and yet only relying on will could not work. Still, he could not move as if his soul had lost control of his body or that his soul was completely restrained. He could not even move a finger.

Time zipped by. Lu Li felt suffocated. His blood vessels were blocked, and he couldn’t breathe. He would be smothered to death and lose all his bodily functions.

“Buzzing~”

While Lu Li was at a loss of what to do, the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond glowed. Following that, a surge of energy came from his Soul Pond and spread across his entire body.

“Well”

Just like jumping into a hot spring in the dead of winter, he felt comfortable from head to toe. He could now move. His blood started to flow again, and his breathing stabilized. Everything felt wonderful.

“Nice!”

This was too good a chance to slip by. Lu Li did not know what energy the silver dragon mark had imparted to him but while he could move, he must make the best of it.

“Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing!”

He took out Dead Soul Charms from his Interspatial Ring. His hands were moving constantly to discharge the Dead Soul Charms into the ground in front of him. In the time for a couple of breaths, he had discharged 107 Dead Soul Charms.

The skill for controlling corpses made it clear that to control a powerful body, 108 Dead Soul Charms must be used, and the imprint contained in the Dead Soul Charms must be merged into the corpse completely.

When Lu Li discharged 107 Dead Soul Charms, he closed his eyes to feel their presence. When the first Dead Soul Charm pierced through the ground and into the immortal’s corpse, Lu Li let it explode.

“Come on, set off, explode—”

The 107 Dead Soul Charms landed on the immortal’s body one by one. Lu Li set them off one by one. The imprint in the Dead Soul Charms was merged into the immortal’s body.

“Thank god, great!”

As the Dead Soul Charms exploded, the immortal’s body did not move. Lu Li was trembling out of extreme joy.

Once he could control this immortal’s dead body, he would throw the immortal’s body to Yan Gu. He and the others would not be able to move due to the pressure of its energy. They would all become lambs waiting to be slaughtered by Lu Li. His comprehensive strength would be increased. To kill warriors at the peak of Semi-God Realm and to flatten the nine universes would be child’s play...

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

In the underground palace, one Dead Soul Charm came after another. It landed on the headless corpse and exploded under Lu Li’s command. Puffs of smoke rose from the Dead Soul Charm and into the headless corpse.

One hundred, 105, 107!

When the last Dead Soul Charm exploded on the immortal’s corpse, Lu Li was completely relaxed. According to the scroll of the skill, when the 108 Dead Soul Charms were inside the corpse, no matter how strong the person was when he was alive, the corpse would be under control and could not harm the master of the Dead Soul Charms.

Discharging the Dead Soul Charms was the first step. Lu Li had to proceed to the second step, also the most critical step. He must gain control of the dead body—to establish a spiritual connection with the corpse and make it his puppet.

The coldness and the horrifying energy emitting from the dead corpse were still there. However... since the silver dragon mark gave Lu Li some strange energy, he felt he could fight off the energy from the corpse after some fashion. At the very least, he was not frozen or immobilized.

“Phew, phew~”

Time was pressing. Who could tell the energy from the silver dragon mark could last? While he could still move, Lu Li had to make every second count.

“Worst comes to worst, I will die a heroic death!”

He grabbed his saber and continued to dig a tunnel. He was not far from the underground palace. In the time for a dozen breaths, he sensed the saber pierced through the dirt and then the ground caved in.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Li did not dare to fall down and stand on the headless corpse. He twisted his body and moved to the sides in the air while looking at the horrifying corpse at the same time.

The underground palace was pitch dark. There was not even a ray of light. At the moment, some runes on the immortal’s body were moving. It was giving out a feeble glow. Given his eyesight was good, Lu Li could see the immortal’s body clearly.

The runes were the imprint from the Dead Soul Charms, and they were all over the immortal’s body. The corpse was terrifying but did not make any move. Its heartbeat seemed to have slowed down.

“Nice!”

Though he was surrounded by coldness and was trembling, inside, he was burning with excitement.

The Dead Soul Charms worked and had successfully suppressed the immortal’s body. He now had to move on to the second step, using the Dead Soul Seed to establish a spiritual connection between him and the immortal’s body. Then, he would be able to use the immortal’s body.

There was no time to lose!

Lu Li always carried out his tasks quickly and vigorously. He flew the Wicked Bead above the immortal’s body. His hands were glowing because of Xuan Energy and produced many patterns. A golden ball of light came out of his palms. He waved his hand, and that golden ball of light flew down into the immortal’s body.

However—

The immortal’s body suddenly began to shake. A golden hand moved in the speed of lightning and grabbed Lu Li!

The hand was so large that Lu Li felt he was an insect in a human’s hand. What was more appalling was that some strange energy was coming from that hand, surging into his body, his soul.

Lu Li was shocked. This immortal’s body... was going to take control of him? Was the body trying to make him a puppet? Or was the body going to possess him?
