Chapter 789: A Dreamlike Scene
"So that's how it is. I was just being attached to appearances."
Chen Futu finally achieved enlightenment.
The dog system gave a rare warning, and although it was a bit cunning, it was enough to make Chen Futu realize his own shortcomings at that moment.
hum!
Chen Futu's dark eyes suddenly erupted with an extremely sharp divine sword intent, "Evil Corpse, you dare to scheme against me, die!"
hum-
With this sword strike, Chen Futu unleashed divine sword intent despite his mortal body.
Caught off guard, the evil corpse was pierced through by a sword thrust from behind. He stared in disbelief at the inferior longsword that had pierced his chest, gritting his teeth and saying, "What a self-destructive corpse! I was overthinking it."
"Trying to take advantage of the chaos, to obliterate yourself, and to seize control of your body? You think you can do that?"
As if in response to the evil corpse's words, Chen Futu's body suddenly split in two. His true self was thrown into the void and settled cross-legged, while his self-corpse stood on the street and cut the evil corpse into ashes with a single sword strike.
"Hmph, how boring."
The evil corpse did not die; it materialized again, twisting its neck and lounging around, its smile sinister and cunning. "As expected of you, you changed your identity from a Blue Star citizen to the Holy Emperor of Great Xia so quickly. It's a pity that the coward from Blue Star is dead; I may not have another chance."
“Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to have any improper thoughts. You should go and do your work. Only after you finish your work can the Three Corpses return to their rightful place.”
The self-corpse gave instructions to the evil corpse.
The evil corpse pursed its lips in displeasure, then transformed into a malevolent black wind that soared into the sky. The Supreme Emperor's will forcefully enveloped the entire city, proclaiming, "Cause and effect are cyclical, retribution is inevitable. Little rats, this Emperor has arrived!"
The killing began.
The monstrous corpse's cruelty allowed the people to witness firsthand what a devil truly is.
He resembled an ordinary martial artist, carrying a weapon embodying evil thoughts as he entered the Cao family. He didn't use any great supernatural powers, but instead pulverized the Cao family members inch by inch. The entire Cao family, more than a hundred people, was slaughtered. Only the First Madam was left with a complete corpse, which was nailed to the central painting in the main hall of the Cao family by a black spear.
At this moment, the Cao family was subjected to a bloodbath, with no one spared, from eighty-year-old elders to infants in swaddling clothes.
The evil corpse is the vessel for all of Chen Futu's negative emotions. Its sole purpose is to kill, kill, kill. It will not stop until it has slaughtered a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The evil corpse slaughtered the Cao family and then entered the flower room.
A series of shrill screams rang out. The people could not see what was happening inside, but they could see blood flowing out of the magnificent building from the first floor to the top floor like a stream.
The corpse stood calmly on the street watching all this without doing anything.
They were formed from the divine essence of the Great Xia Holy Emperor, and everything they did conformed to the Holy Emperor's deepest, most primal desires.
In other words, even if Chen Futu himself were to take action, it would implicate many people. The fact that the evil corpse did not massacre the city is already quite restrained.
"What about people?"
The wicked corpse slaughtered all the patrons in the backyard, but did not see Shi Xiaoya, and couldn't help but complain.
The self-corpse opened its extreme spiritual power to scan the entire city, and strangely, Xiaoyu had also disappeared.
"Something's wrong."
As the self-corpse muttered to itself, a rift suddenly opened in the void, and the white-haired, white-robed avatar was teleported over by the system.
When the three stood together, a suction force was generated from Chen Futu, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, and the three of them returned to their original bodies at the same time.
As the three of them returned, Chen Futu suddenly opened his eyes, and his divine aura spread throughout the entire continent.
All the powerful emperors on the continent were terrified; it was the feeling of being watched by a god, an extremely frightening experience.
"A God of War! It's a God of War! Someone has become a god!"
"Who on earth is so incredibly powerful?!"
The emperors cannot understand why strange things have been happening on the continent in recent decades, and now someone has even achieved the legendary realm of gods!
Chen Futu stood up and looked around. The small town where he had lived for many years had lost its former glory and become lifeless and dilapidated. The people who had been slaughtered, including the common people, had all revealed their true forms. They were all puppets of the Sun Moon Sect.
"A divine illusion array... I see."
Chen Futu lowered his eyes and finally understood.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on making further progress."
Fu Shuang quietly appeared before her, as languid as ever.
Chen Futu said, "You did it."
"Since you wish to temper your heart in the mortal world, why don't I construct a ritual for you? The techniques of a martial god combined with a divine illusion array—the effect should be quite good, right?"
"Indeed impressive. Using supreme supernatural powers to construct a false world, but without being a god, one cannot ultimately see through the illusion."
"Those puppets were all obtained from Dongfang Bubai. Tell her later not to ask me for them."
Fu Shuang yawned, took a bottle of wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls, then circled around Chen Futu. “Your path to divinity is so strange. Others walk the mortal world to refine their hearts, understand the true meaning of cultivation, and only after a great enlightenment can they transcend. But you have severed your three corpses. Those three corpses are very strong, probably with the combat power of a demigod. If your realm were higher, you would probably be carrying three martial gods with you.”
Chen Futu said, "If I were to split into three corpses, all I would be able to use would be the power of my blood and qi."
"That's not bad either. In group battles, you can split into four, and with your own blood energy able to counteract the curse, your overall combat power is equivalent to several Martial Gods."
"The benevolent corpse obtained the righteous energy of the Human Emperor, the ego corpse obtained the Devouring Heaven Scripture, and the evil corpse is even more sinister than a curse. This mortal tribulation has yielded tremendous gains."
After this matter was settled, Chen Futu cured Wangcai and took it away.
A few days later, with Fu Shuang as a witness, Chen Futu upgraded the Dragon Sparrow to the Divine Grade level.
Before leaving, Chen Futu took one last look at the dilapidated town.
Truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, regardless of whether it was illusion or reality, he had lived here for so many years. Fortunately, everything he experienced was an illusion. The Liu family members were not harmed, and Lady Shi was not defiled...
"I want to clarify that there is indeed a person named Shi Xiaoya."
Fu Shuang suddenly said something that made Chen Futu pause for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Come out."
As soon as Fu Shuang spoke, Shi Niangzi arrived, much to Chen Futu's astonishment.
Lady Shi smiled and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Disciple Shi Ya greets Master."
Chen Futu was even more confused. When did he gain a disciple?
Shi Ya took out the painting, and upon closer inspection, the person in the painting was none other than the missing Qin Hao.
"I am a friend that Qin Hao met on his cultivation path. He went missing and I have been looking for him. Later, Senior Fu found me and asked me to help Master overcome the tribulation of the mortal world."
Shi Ya explained the reason, and Chen Futu suddenly realized why he felt the person in the painting was familiar; it turned out to be Qin Hao.
Therefore, Shi Ya's purpose in seeking her help was to investigate Qin Hao's whereabouts.
The system couldn't locate Qin Hao, so who knew where that kid had gone? As his master, there was one thing he was certain of: Qin Hao was still alive. He cultivated the Devouring Heaven Blood Demon Technique; he couldn't possibly be dead.
As they spoke, a chilling wind howled, and a dark rain of blood swept across the continent.
Chen Futu and Fu Shuang's expressions darkened. Had a great emperor from a clan with strong earth veins been killed?
