Chapter 1784 - 1785: Reincarnation
"Move swiftly!"
Ling Feng wasn’t sure which of the twelve crystal coffins contained the strongest Emperor Corpse in life. At this moment, he could only try his luck.
Swoosh!
The Reincarnation Seal flicked out from Ling Feng’s fingertips, circled among the twelve crystal coffins, and then fell into the third one on Ling Feng’s right.
The next moment, the gray light behind Ling Feng flooded entirely into the body within the crystal coffin.
Even after thousands of years, the corpse inside the crystal coffin was still perfectly preserved, as if alive.
As the gray light merged into the body, strange spell writings appeared on the surface of the Emperor Corpse.
Those were the curse seals of the Reincarnation Technique. Once the seals were imprinted, even a War God that once had the power to destroy worlds could only obey the caster’s command.
Boom!
Three breaths later, the crystal coffin exploded, and the "slumbering" emperor slowly opened his eyes.
They were vacant eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
A person resurrected by the Reincarnation Technique would have long lost their Divine Soul Origin, leaving only a primal battle consciousness and absolute loyalty to the master.
"Finally, it worked!"
After casting the Reincarnation Technique, Ling Feng’s legs went soft, and he collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly drained of strength.
The revived emperor stood blankly in place, and the aura surrounding him kept strengthening and surging, as if adapting to this newly resurrected body.
The sudden change caused the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python to hesitate.
Its massive body halted, sizing up the newly revived "corpse."
From that corpse, it sensed a fatal threat.
"Looks like my luck isn’t too bad—I revived a fairly powerful emperor!"
Ling Feng felt a bit relieved and ordered loudly, "At my command, slay the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python!"
With Ling Feng’s command, the black curse writings covering the emperor’s body turned crimson. The emperor first clutched his head and roared wildly, then quickly calmed down, bowed toward Ling Feng, and said without expression, "Yes, master!"
Swoosh!
In the next moment, the emperor transformed into a streak of red, charging directly at the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python.
The Swallowing Heaven Horned Python let out an enraged roar. It was the overlord of this region, and no creature had ever dared to confront it.
Even though the emperor seemed dangerous, it would never overlook any creature that dared to challenge its authority.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the revived emperor punched the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python’s head.
A cracking sound was heard, and the long horn on the right side of the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python was broken with a single punch.
"So fierce!"
Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched wildly. It seemed his luck was indeed on his side; the emperor he revived was undoubtedly a Peak Emperor.
And an extremely powerful Peak Emperor at that.
"Roar!"
With its horn broken, the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python went berserk, its eyes turning blood-red, staring fiercely at its enemy.
The emperor, naturally, had no human-like fear or confusion. As long as it had the master’s command, it would attack relentlessly until the task was complete.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Punch after punch, the Emperor Corpse Puppet quickly gained the upper hand.
Moreover, as time passed and the Emperor Corpse Puppet became more familiar with its body, its strength only grew.
Since it was already a Corpse Puppet, using martial techniques consumed no energy, nor would it grow tired or fear death.
It was a perfect war machine, born entirely for battle!
"Boom!"
Finally, with a tragic and unwilling roar, the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python collapsed heavily to the ground.
Its massive, over-three-hundred-zhang-long body curled up like a small mountain, and even in death, it exuded a terrifying aura that neither demons nor human martial artists dared to approach.
"Phew, it’s finally over!"
Ling Feng, having regained some physical strength, first collected the remaining eleven crystal coffins, then dealt with the Fierce Blood Rhinoceros’ corpse.
As too much time had passed, Ling Feng could no longer directly refine the demon’s essence blood using the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique for cultivation. However, he could still collect a portion of its essence blood and save it for later use.
With the essence blood of the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python, who needed the essence blood of the Fierce Blood Rhinoceros?
It must be said, danger often comes with opportunity; although this was a near-death experience, the gains were immense!
The Swallowing Heaven Horned Python was indeed a treasure trove!
Not far away, the revived Corpse Puppet Emperor stood motionless after completing its task, seemingly falling into slumber again.
Ling Feng glanced at this emperor and couldn’t help but ask, "What was your name when you were alive?"
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s question, the Corpse Puppet Emperor hesitated for a moment, then expressionlessly and vacantly muttered, "Emperor Tian Yan, Xiao Lie."
So, the Corpse Puppet retained some of its memories from life?
Ling Feng rubbed his nose; it was a pity that these revived Corpse Puppets weren’t truly resurrected. Besides retaining a battle consciousness, they had no autonomous will.
"From now on, I shall still call you Tian Yan then."
Ling Feng said casually.
"Yes, master."
The Emperor Tian Yan remained expressionless, as for a Corpse Puppet, battle alone was its only value in resurrection.
At that moment, the Reincarnation Seal on Emperor Tian Yan’s brow suddenly dissipated, and his body fell limply to the ground. It seemed he had "truly" come back to life without reverting to a cold corpse, only falling into a deep sleep.
"Looks like the Reincarnation Seal is key to awakening a Corpse Puppet. If there is a drawback, it would be the duration of the Reincarnation Seal."
Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. At his current level, the Reincarnation Seal could last for about half an hour at most.
However, for now, that was enough.
Retrieving Emperor Tian Yan back into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, he was considered "revived," so there was no concern about his body decaying.
Next up was handling the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python’s corpse.
The Sky Swallowing Python, having transformed into a flood dragon, was truly a treasure trove!
With a flicker of a shadow, that shameless fellow, Despicable Donkey, naturally came out to share in the spoils.
Ling Feng was long accustomed to the shamelessness of this Despicable Donkey.
However, it’s fortunate this fellow reminded him of the Swallowing Heaven Horned Python’s presence; otherwise, he might have really fallen into that Horned Python’s trap.
"Hehehe!"
Despicable Donkey rubbed its hands excitedly, with drool dripping from its mouth, grinning at Ling Feng, "Kid Feng, sharing half when we meet, you don’t mind, right?"
