Chapter 67: Good Time to Break Through
Edited by RED
“Hu Mo, you’re not with our master, why are you here doing boring things?” asked Demon King Ox with a smile.
Hu Mo laughed uncontrollably and said, “Old Ox, our master sent me here. He wanted me to make all these corpses turn into demon corpses. After that, he wants me to go to the central city of the Supranatural Region with the demon corpses and destroy the sects there. Then, some strong cultivators will probably come out, so it would be good training.”
“The demon corpses and the cultivators are all heroes. In case of danger, our Master could use them,” said Hu Mo. He raised his left hand and three stone chairs appeared.
“Have a seat. Old Ox, and little master!” said Hu Mo, jokingly smiling at Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled neutrally and sat down.
“So, does the danger still exist?” asked Demon King Ox, looking glum.
Hu Mo looked abnormally anxious, he nodded and said, “Well, nothing is certain. Our master said something could happen, but in case it appears again, our Master wants to try.”
“Our master is so brave. That’s my master!” shouted Demon King Ox proudly.
Hu Mo looked proud, too. His skin was either dry or had decomposed and vanished but Lin Feng could still see he looked proud and respectful.
What kind of cultivator could make two such extremely strong cultivators his servants?
Who was the God who had designated him as his heir? Lin Feng was curious.
“Demon King Ox, did you see our master when you came back?” Hu Mo asked the old ox.
The old ox nodded and said, “I did. He told me to do my best to help Lin Feng. That’s why I didn’t dare go back to the Holy Shrine.”
“Haha! You’re so obedient! Good luck! The heirs we’ve found aren’t weak! Let’s hope the Lin Feng you found won’t be the weakest in the end!” said Hu Mo, laughing jokingly.
Even though Hu Mo didn’t harbor evil intentions, he didn’t think highly of Lin Feng, who could see that.
“Hu Mo, who is the heir you’ve found?” asked Demon King Ox.
“I can’t tell you yet. When Lin Feng is qualified to go to the Holy Shrine, we’ll talk about it again. The heirs we’ve found are all in the Holy Shrine already!” Hu Mo told him.
Demon King Ox looked glum and clenched his fists. The heir he had found couldn’t be any weaker than his!
“By the way, Lin Feng has a forbidden body, right?” Hu Mo asked th Demon King Ox, who looked at him disdainfully.
“Bullshit! You were already about to capture his body, if I hadn’t gotten involved, you would have stolen his body already!” Demon King Ox said to Hu Mo coldly.
Hu Mo giggled and looked embarrassed, he scratched his nose and laughed, “Can you help me with something…”
“I know what you want to say, but I’m not sure. Ask my little master,” said Demon King Ox without letting Hu Mo finish his sentence. Hu Mo then looked at Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng, can you help me? It will definitely be advantageous for you!” Hu Mo said to Lin Feng. He looked serious, he wasn’t asking something that wasn’t important, it seemed…
“You want to steal a body, what does that have to do with me?” asked Lin Feng. He had come back to his senses already and was calm, he could easily guess what Hu Mo wanted from him.
As expected, Lin Feng was right.
“Lin Feng. I earnestly beg you for help. Help me become a normal person again,” said Hu Mo cupping his fists.
Lin Feng frowned and looked at Demon King Ox. The old ox looked elsewhere though, not wanting to put pressure on Lin Feng. If he said something, Lin Feng would have to obey.
But it was something serious. Hu Mo wanted to become a normal person, which meant he had to cleanse his demon corpse Qi first, and for that he needed a forbidden body.
Lin Feng had to think carefully before coming up with a decision, but at the same time, it was might be a good opportunity to break through to the Low-Level Holy Emperor layer. Would he become stronger after having absorbing the demon corpse Qi, though?
“If you accept, I swear I will do whatever I can to help you in life!” said Hu Mo when he saw Lin Feng looked hesitant. He looked nervous too. Demon King Ox shook his head, Hu Mo really suffered from the demon corpse Qi.
Lin Feng was tempted when he heard Hu Mo, of course. Being supported by a High-Level Holy Emperor was always a great thing.
“I accept, Master,” said Lin Feng in the end. It was an opportunity, but it was also dangerous.
When Hu Mo heard Lin Feng, he laughed madly.
“Lin Feng, I’ll go outside to protect you. Be careful,” said Demon King Ox when he heard Lin Feng accept. With him outside to protect the cave, nothing unexpected would happen.
Hu Mo sat down on the ground, his back turned to Lin Feng. Lin Feng sat down as well, his back turned to Hu Mo’s back. He put his hands on his chest and released forbidden strength, which penetrated into Hu Mo’s body.
Hu Mo ground his teeth and let the forbidden strength penetrate into his body. It felt extremely painful, as if he were burning. He had to endure, he was determined to become normal!
Lin Feng closed his eyes and slowly released forbidden strength. At the same time, demon corpse Qi penetrated into Lin Feng’s body, but he controlled it with his forbidden strength. It then became part of his demon Qi.
——
Time passed slowly, one day, two days, three days…
Six days passed, Lin Feng was covered with sweat. He had used a lot of forbidden strength, and couldn’t bear it anymore. But Hu Mo’s face wasn’t dry and rotten anymore. He had skin again, he had cheeks again, his skin even looked shiny.
On the seventh day, Hu Mo’s demon corpse Qi had been completely cleansed away by Lin Feng’s forbidden strength, and had become a part of his demon energy.
Hu Mo recalled his Qi and took a deep breath, standing up. Lin Feng remained seated, continuing to modify the demon corpse Qi.
Hu Mo touched his face, he looked impressed. He raised his left hand and a mirror appeared. He looked at his face, stupefied.
Hu Mo stared at his face. It was healthy, but still looked a bit dry. But it didn’t matter, he looked normal again.
Regarding his bloodshot eyes, they hadn’t changed, that’s why he was called Hu Mo the Supreme Demon Corpse.
But his Qi didn’t have demon corpse Qi anymore. Could he still be considered a supreme demon corpse?
“Lin Feng, I will help you now!” said Hu Mo. Lin Feng’s face was ghastly pale, and was covered with sweat. Hu Mo sat down behind Lin Feng and released Qi.
Lin Feng had modified most of the demon corpse Qi he had absorbed. He needed a little bit more time to modify it completely.
“AAAARGGGGHHHHHHH!” Lin Feng shouted furiously. He opened his arms, Qi rolled out from him and pushed Hu Mo away.
Hu Mo was astonished. Lin Feng had broken through and become a Low-Level Holy Emperor! Surprisingly, he could push Hu Mo, a High-Level Holy Emperor, away?!
Lin Feng’s pitch-black Qi, coupled with Hu Mo’s demon Qi, was becoming more and more powerful, andit turned into level three demon strength.
“Pfew… how pleasant!!”
