Chapter 2316

Yang Kai was still quite interested in the various cultivation techniques and secret arts of the Thousand Leaves Sect. After all, this was related to the Puppet Dao, a field he had never come into contact with before.

And these cultivation techniques and secret arts were right in front of him at this moment, so of course Yang Kai was tempted.

However, he also secretly made up his mind to only observe and understand them for a while, and then take them out and return them to Ye Hen. He had no intention of taking them for himself.

With such thoughts in mind, Yang Kai held his breath and concentrated, reaching out to grab the ring on the corpse’s hand.

But at this moment, his heart suddenly jumped violently, and an extremely uneasy feeling spread within his body, making all the hairs on his body stand on end. Youdaoplaceholder1, he tapped his foot and drifted backward, distanced himself from the corpse.

In the next instant, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he saw a scene that made his soul tremble with fear.

But saw that the formation under the corpse’s buttocks suddenly hummed, blooming with a dazzling light, as if it was activated for some unknown reason. And then, the surface of the corpse’s body also emerged with circles of runes and a series of array patterns, outlining a mysterious array pattern. The dry and waterless surface of the corpse almost instantly gives a metallic sheen.

Boom… The formation diagram began to operate for no reason. and a burst of crackling sounds like frying beans came from the corpse’s body. A pair of eyes that had been closed for who knows how many years suddenly opened.

Those eyes, like two clusters of ghost fire constantly beating, making people look at them with fear.

The powerful momentum of the Emperor Senior Stage suddenly erupted from this corpse, impacting on Yang Kai like a substance.

Yang Kai felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a huge mountain, and the dullness was overwhelming.

He knew that something was wrong. The corpse in front of him that had been dead for who knows how many years was very likely to have given birth to its own spiritual wisdom and become an existence like a corpse spirit.

He had encountered this type of monster on You’an Star back then. At that time, the Corpse Spirit Clan suddenly appeared in the world, causing chaos on You’an Star. Countless martial artists were infected by the corpse poison and transformed into one of them. In the end, it was he who turned the tide and strangled this disaster.

But at that time, the most powerful among the Corpse Spirit Clan was only the Thousand-Year Corpse General. Their cultivation was only at the Void Returning Stage, and they simply couldn’t be compared with the Corpse Spirit in front of him.

The one in front of him was a genuine Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King！

And it was a Ten-Thousand-Year Corpse King at the Emperor Senior Stage. The Emperor’s Will that shrouded him was by no means fake.

With this thought in mind, Yang Kai was completely soaked in sweat. Knowing that the situation was not optimistic, he no longer dared to hesitate. The Spatial Principle lingered around his body, and he was about to escape from this cave.

In an instant, his figure became blurred.

But before he could escape from this cave, the Corpse King who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened its mouth and let out an extremely shrill and fierce howl. No one knew what strange power was contained in that howl. It impact ed in all directions and turned into an invisible cage, suppressing and locking a side of the heaven and earth.

Yang Kai’s body stiffened, and his blurred figure was revealed again！

His face changed drastically. Knowing that his Spatial Divine Ability had been easily broken by the other party, how could he dare to be negligent？ In a hurry, he could only rush outwards in a hurry.

And the Corpse King’s pair of ghostly eyes emitted a chilly glow, staring at him intently. With a mouth opening, a strand of emerald-green breath suddenly spewed out.

“Corpse poison！” Yang Kai exclaimed in horror, finally understanding what that stinky smell he had smelled when entering the cave earlier was exactly.

That stinky smell was obviously the corpse poison of this Corpse King, and it was just a trace diffused from his body. Just a trace had made him show signs of poisoning, with dizziness and blurred vision. Now that a mouthful was suddenly sprayed out, if he was not careful and inhaled it, he was afraid that he would die immediately.

In a state of horror and trepidation. Yang Kai did not dare to breathe even more, fully urging his Source Force to form a defense outside his body and retreating like an arrow leaving the bow.

He was fast. That mouthful of corpse poison gas was not slow at all, following closely behind him like a shadow. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with him and collided with his body-protecting Source Force.

There was a hissing sound, and the Source Force on Yang Kai’s body surface was like snowflakes under the scorching sun, instantly being melted into a big hole. It actually had no power to resist. That corpse poison gas entangled over along the gap in the defense.

How could it have such a powerful corrosive force？ Yang Kai simply couldn’t believe his eyes.

In a critical moment, his eyes were about to split, and one hand reached forward. The spatial power was driven to the extreme, and he shouted in a low voice: “Banish!”

Under the law, a black hole-like existence suddenly appeared in front of him. All the corpse poison qi that rushed over was completely swallowed by the black hole. His figure kept shaking, and then he rushed out of the cave and returned to that mountain valley again.

Before he could catch his breath, a series of beast-like roars came from that cave. The violent and cruel aura belonging to the Corpse King quickly Youdaoplaceholder0, and the inside of the cave also shook, with gravel falling down pattering.

“What kind of enmity is this！” Yang Kai had a bitter expression on his face, knowing that he had run into a tough opponent this time. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have gone to take a look in that cave, and as a result, he had provoked such a monster.

Without having to fight, Yang Kai also knew that he was definitely no match. For now, the only thing he could do was to quickly escape back to the array base platform in this secret realm, repair it as soon as possible, and then teleport out to have a chance of survival.

But repairing also takes time. Even if his attainments in spatial power are deeper, he still needs to melt some materials to fill the sword marks. This time is enough for the Corpse King to kill him a hundred times.

This is a Corpse King transformed from the corpse of a strong person at the Third-Order Emperor Venerable Realm！ How strong his strength is, Yang Kai simply doesn’t know.

Boom…

With a loud explosion, the figure of the Corpse King rushed out from the cave. Array diagrams circulated continuously on the surface of its The body emits strange light. As soon as it appeared, it was in front of Yang Kai. A pair of fangs emitted a chilly light and it threw a fierce punch at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s face was pale. Feeling the terrifying killing power contained in this simple punch, it was too late to dodge. In a hurry, he could only sacrifice the Million Swords, pour source energy into it, and shout in a low voice：”A million swords come out, one man guards the pass！”

This sword strike was the most powerful defensive sword of the Million Swords. Yang Kai had exerted it several times and naturally knew its power.

The sword screen spread out, with countless afterimages, turning into a solid defense in The front of Yang Kai. The countless sword qi was like an impregnable fortress, blocking any violent storm that came towards Yang Kai.

Boom…

The Corpse King’s fist smashed down, but the sword screen that Yang Kai had exerted all his strength to was as vulnerable as paper. It was directly smashed into pieces by the fist. An indescribable force came from the front, making Yang Kai feel as if a huge mountain was crushing towards him. In the face of this force his level of two-layer Open Heaven Realm was as insignificant as an ant.

I will die! This thought inexplicably popped up in Yang Kai’s heart.

No matter how powerful his physical body was, no matter how vigorous his Source Power was, if he really took this punch, he would surely die and there would be no chance of survival.

This was an unreasonable intuition, but Yang Kai firmly believed it.

At the critical moment of life and death, Yang Kai forcefully activated the spatial power, causing himself to teleport backward a little bit, avoiding the center of the power of this punch.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to teleport away and completely avoid this punch, but under the suppression of the other party’s Emperor’s Will, he simply couldn’t do anything. What he could do now was already his limit.

A loud explosion sounded, as if even the space had been shattered. Two crisp cracking sounds came from within Yang Kai’s body. Two of his ribs were broken at once, and his whole body flew backward like a torn sackcloth, spitting out blood and his aura withering a great deal.

With a pattering sound, Yang Kai landed on the ground, but quickly got up, covering his chest with his hand and looking extremely difficult.

Just from the exchange of one move, he knew that this Corpse King was outrageously strong. If the other party pursued the victory at this time, it would definitely make his situation even worse.

However, to Yang Kai’s slight relief, after the Corpse King sent him flying, it actually stood still in place and doesn’t’t move anymore. The pair of eyes like ghost fires kept and the wooden expression began to change, becoming ferocious and terrifying.

What’s going on？

Although Yang Kai didn’t understand, this was what he hoped to see. Immediately, he quickly took out a healing elixir from the Space Ring, threw it into his mouth, and took this opportunity to adjust his breath.

He didn’t dare to move randomly, for fear that his actions would stimulate this Corpse King and miss this great opportunity to rest.

While adjusting his breath, he was also constantly paying attention to the movements of the Corpse King.

He discovered that ever since this Corpse King came out of that cave, the corpse poison in his body had begun to spread around. The vegetation that had originally survived for tens of thousands of years in the valley, upon coming into contact with that corpse poison, all turned yellow and withered in the blink of an eye, showing how powerful the toxicity of the corpse poison was.

However, Yang Kai also noticed a strange place, that is, this ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King… seemingly had no consciousness.

This made him couldn’t figure it out. The corpse spirits he had encountered on You’an Star back then could already think independently after just a thousand years. Why couldn’t this ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King?

And… the array patterns on the surface of his body were also very concerning. The metallic luster on the parched body was even more extremely strange, as if that was really a body made of metal, not a withered flesh and blood.

Looking at it, Yang Kai suddenly widened his eyes, and an idea that made his hair stand on end involuntarily popped up in his mind, and he lost his voice and said, “Corpse Puppet？”

Although Yang Kai didn’t have much research on the way of puppets, after cultivating for so many years, he had heard of it more or less.

Generally, puppets are naturally refined with various rare treasures and special techniques. The puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect and those that Yang Kai encountered in the Time Temple are all of this type.

However, there is another type of puppet that is not refined with rare treasures but with the bodies of martial artists.

The bodies of powerful martial artists are the best materials for refining puppets. Their tight physical structures, powerful cultivation bases and wills before death cannot be simply replaced by rare treasures.

Some evil martial artists are extremely enthusiastic about refining the corpses of powerhouses into puppets and driving these puppets to kill enemies for themselves. Moreover, after being refined into puppets, these martial artists can still retain a large part of their previous cultivation bases and supernatural powers and exert extremely powerful combat capabilities.
