Chapter 3059: Lu Yin And Mu Ji

Lu Yin knew quite well how to cultivate the Corpse King Transformation. When Undying G.o.d had been trapped by the Python Ancestor, Lu Yin had nearly beaten the man to death with the slipper. It had taken True G.o.d’s intervention before the SkyG.o.d was finally rescued. However, before that happened, Undying G.o.d had disseminated the Corpse King Transformation across the entire Perennial World, which had created a great deal of chaos. Fortunately, the technique had eventually been suppressed.

No, the Corpse King Transformation was no secret to Lu Yin.

However, he had never considered cultivating the technique, as doing so would have unpredictable consequences. The most mysterious aspect of the technique was that it could transform humans into monsters that were neither human nor corpse kings.

"If we compare the Scourges on just the strength of their corpse kings, this Third Scourge should be the strongest of them all. After all, all of them have cultivated the Corpse King Transformation. In our First Scourge, only a few corpse kings have managed to do that," the blue-haired man commented.

The pink-haired woman did not care at all. "What's the use of being a powerful corpse king? Without enough peak powerhouses to support them, the corpse kings are nothing but ants."

"Haha, that's right! That's a loving rebuke, Dual Bladeform! Well said!" Chong Gui said while moving about. His actions made people very uncomfortable.

Lu Yin sped up. The Scourge was vast, and he had no idea how long it would take to reach his destination if he continued to simply walk along.

Three days after he started to move faster, he was surrounded by a dense crowd of corpse kings. All of them were headed in the same direction. From the occasional conversations between the human traitors that he overheard, Lu Yin had learned that all of the corpse kings were making their way to the Corpse King Monument.

Di Qiong had made the Corpse King Monument specifically for the Third Scourge. It was a place that was specially dedicated to cultivating the Corpse King Transformation. Anyone who stepped foot in the Third Scourge was allowed to visit the Corpse King Monument and cultivate the Corpse King Transformation.

Dual Bladeform had mentioned that Di Qiong had created the Corpse King Transformation, but none of them knew if that was true. However, given what they were all seeing, it seemed quite possible for Di Qiong to truly be the creator of the technique.

It was not long before Lu Yin saw a large, ancient-looking stone monument. It was completely surrounded by a dense crowd of corpse kings, but the distribution was very well organized. The stronger the corpse king, the closer they stood to the center, where there were fewer corpse kings. The further away from the monument, the more corpse kings there were, and the denser their s.p.a.cing.

Aeternus’s corpse kings all had different sizes. While all of them had once been humans, some of the humans had been different from the beginning, due to the various environments where they had lived.

At the moment, within the crowd of countless corpse kings that surrounded the Corpse King Monument, there were giants which were thousands of meters tall, as well as dwarves which were less than a meter tall. All of them had once been human.

A glance around left Lu Yin disappointed. There did not seem to be anything here related to Wu Tian. Lu Yin had expected the Corpse King Monument to somehow be related to Wu Tian, but there was still no reaction from Heaven's Sight.

In that case, where was Wu Tian? Was he really in the Third Scourge?

"Haha, all of them are cultivating the Corpse King Transformation! How useless! This is a loving temptation, but it's useless, haha," Chong Gui yelled.

His words drew a great deal of attention. While the corpse kings did not care at all, as their minds were already rigid, many of the human traitors, or more specifically, the humans from the Aeternus Kingdoms, were quite upset by Chong Gui's words.

The pink-haired woman frowned. "Hey, shut up."

Chong Gui yelled, "Am I wrong? Haha."

People started to walk over, and they quickly surrounded Chong Gui. He looked at them all. "Eh? What are you doing? What do you want?"

"Are you not from our Third Scourge?" someone asked, though they clearly looked unfriendly.

Chong Gui twitched. "No."

"No wonder. Which Scourge are you from?"

Chong Gui leaned over, pus.h.i.+ng his ear out towards the man. "What did you say? Love me louder."

The man's eyes grew cold. "Which Scourge are you from?"

Chong Gui gestured again and yelled, "What did you say? Love me louder."

The man suddenly attacked, striking Chong Gui with a palm strike. Chong Gui did not even move, and when the man's palm struck Chong Gui’s shoulder, the man was knocked back, his arm broken.

Everyone who had surrounded Chong Gui attacked at the same time.

As for the nearby corpse kings, they simply stepped aside. They showed no indication of getting involved. It was rare for the creatures to show any sort of emotion at all.

Chong Gui still did not move. Even taking all the attacks of the surrounding people did not faze him. The attacks rebounded back to the attackers, and several were instantly killed.

Chong Gui was a True G.o.d Guard Captain, but among his attackers, only the man who had spoken had the strength of a Semi-Progenitor. None of the rest were even close to that level of strength.

"Haha, it’s useless! The Corpse King Transformation is useless, haha!" Chong Gui laughed heartily.

The pink-haired woman was openly disgusted. "He’s so ridiculous! He’s going to run out of luck one day."

The blue-haired man’s voice was grave, "You can’t blame him. He's... special."

The pink-haired woman snorted, but then she remembered something.

Lu Yin looked around with Heaven's Sight and looked far into the distance. He was hoping to find something related to Wu Tian, but he could not find anything.

Suddenly, he looked over to the side. There was a distant figure blazing through the sky like a meteor, and they were coming straight for Chong Gui.

Chong Gui turned around, only to be sent flying by the impact before he could even see what had hit him.

There was an explosion, and the ground shook as the void warped and twisted. The damage spread out, causing the ground to shake from the point of impact.

A nine-meter-tall lesser giant with blazing red eyes had appeared. Chong Gui was his only target, and the lesser giant looked as though he might explode at any moment.

The was a lesser giant who had mastered the Red Eye Transformation.

"Lord Xin Wu."

"Greetings, Lord Xin Wu."

"Greetings, Lord Xin Wu..."

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. This person was not at all weak. Lu Yin sensed an overwhelming power from the lesser giant that reminded him of Zhong Pan.

Dual Bladeform instantly grew wary.

As for Chong Gui, he had been smashed into the ground and had not yet risen back to the surface.

This lesser giant was named Xin Wu. He stared at the distant Chong Gui with his red eyes and asked, "Is the Corpse King Transformation still useless?"

Chong Gui coughed and slowly rose to his feet. "That’s quite the love tap! Haha, What a love tap!"

Xin Wu's eyes instantly flared, and he charged again, throwing another punch at Chong Gui. As for the True G.o.d Guard Captain, he suddenly pulled out a black mace from an unknown place. As Xin Wu's fist approached, the mace grew larger and swept out.

Boom!

The ground shook, and the incredible shock wave blasted the clouds back, splitting the sky apart and pulling everyone's attention.

Xin Wu took a step back, as did Chong Gui.

Lu Yin watched more carefully. Physically, Xin Wu was no weaker than Zhong Pan.

Dual Bladeform was impressed. Very few among the True G.o.d Guard Captains could match Chong Gui's strength. This Xin Wu amply demonstrated the power of the Corpse King Transformation.

Xin Wu was surprised. "It’s no wonder why you look down on the Corpse King Transformation. Your strength is quite impressive. Alright, I'll force you to really acknowledge me!"

As the lesser giant spoke, his eyes moved past the Red Eye Transformation to the Specter Eye Transformation. His already terrifying power skyrocketed, and the void shattered.

Chong Gui shrieked, "Stop! That’s enough love taps!"

Xin Wu shot forward, charging at Chong Gui with incredible speed and a raised palm. Unsurprisingly, Chong Gui was sent flying. He crashed right into a nearby river of divine energy.

"It's over. No one can survive that fall, not unless they cultivate divine energy," someone commented.

"Serves him right! Who is he, mocking the Corpse King Transformation? This is the power of our Third Scourge!”

"With the Divine Selection approaching, Lord Xin Wu also wants to do well and impress Lord Di Qiong."

...

Xin Wu took a deep breath, and his eyes returned to normal. Regardless of which Scourge one came from, mocking the Corpse King Transformation in the Third Scourge was just asking for trouble.

In Aeternus, apart from the First Scourge, the other five Scourges occasionally interacted. corpse kings did not seek out companions.h.i.+p or cooperation, but Aeternus was much more than just corpse kings.

The void warped behind Xin Wu, and another person arrived. "That guy talks too much. It's good that you taught him a lesson."

Xin Wu grew puzzled. "Taught him a lesson? Will he even survive?"

"Of course he will. He’s a True G.o.d Guard Captain, just like me." The newcomer laughed as his eyes s.h.i.+fted to another person who stood nearby. "Isn’t that right, Brother Ye Bo?"

Lu Yin stared intently at the newcomer. Mu Ji?

Dual Bladeform was also surprised.

"Mu Ji? What are you doing in the Third Scourge?" the pink-haired woman exclaimed.

Mu Ji responded with a dazzling smile, "After that great battle in the First Scourge, all of us who were injured were sent to other Scourges to recover. After all, who knows if that madman Lu Yin will attack the First Scourge again?"

As he spoke to Dual Bladeform, Mu Ji glanced over at Lu Yin with a smile.

Lu Yin met the man’s gaze. "Was the First Scourge invaded?"

"Brother Ye Bo, may I have a word in private?" Mu Ji asked with a grin.

The pink-haired woman warned Ye Bo, "Ye Bo, be careful. This guy is sneaky."

Finally, Chong Gui climbed out of the river of divine energy. "What a love tap! I'm hurt."

Xin Wu stared at Chong Gui, already understanding why the man had survived the attack. One of the First Scourge's True G.o.d Guard Captains? Zhong Pan had gone to the First Scourge.

Chong Gui had been knocked into the river of divine energy, but the entire commotion ended with Mu Ji’s arrival.

It had been a rather small issue. None of the corpse kings had been affected by the exchange, only some of the nearby humans.

Lu Yin and Mu Ji stepped away from the rest of the crowd.

"Should I call you Brother Ye Bo, or by that person’s name?" Mu Ji looked at Lu Yin with a smile.

Lu Yin remained calm. "That person?"

"Brother Ye Bo, are you playing dumb?" Mu Ji stared into Lu Yin's eyes.

Lu Yin's voice grew cold, "Who is that person?"

Mu Ji stared at Lu Yin, but Lu Yin met Mu Ji’s eyes without flinching.

After a while, Mu Ji sighed. "Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure. Normally, given that person's status, he would never risk coming to any of the Scourges. Even if I told anyone about him, no one would believe me. Besides, Brother Ye Bo, you've cultivated divine energy, which makes the whole thing a huge joke. If word gets out that that person has cultivated divine energy, do you think that his people would accept it?"

If they were not in a Scourge, Lu Yin would have made sure that Mu Ji died, no matter what it took.

Lu Yin had been able to tell Ancestor Tianyi that he had cultivated divine energy, but that information absolutely could not be spread within the Sixverse a.s.sociation.

Mu Ji carefully observed Lu Yin. "My ability to see evil is seldom wrong. In addition to using a person’s evil to identify them, I am also able to see through a person using their evil. You don’t have very much evil, which really doesn’t fit your position as a True G.o.d Guard Captain."

Lu Yin coldly asked, "Are you done yet?"

Mu Ji winced. "It’s quite difficult to have a conversation with you. Let me tell you this much—it really doesn’t matter to me whether you are that person or not. I only have one goal."

He raised a finger to Lu Yin. "True G.o.d’s ultimate techniques."

Lu Yin arched a brow. "So it’s True G.o.d’s ultimate techniques again."

"I want to obtain True G.o.d’s techniques, so let’s work together. Even if you are that person, it doesn't matter to me. I won’t ever give you a chance to silence me, but that person's abilities can very likely help me obtain True G.o.d’s ultimate techniques. That’s because that person is known for accomplis.h.i.+ng the impossible," Mu Ji stated.

Lu Yin shook his head. "Not interested."
