Chapter 334: A Golden Rope
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ritz’s voice carried the might of heaven and earth, and the entire sky was shrouded in thunderclouds.
Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Brightness and darkness interchanged.
“Divine Art · Thunder Punishment.”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning over a hundred feet thick descended from the sky, and its target was the Silver Corpse.
The Silver Corpse could still fight and didn’t look scared at all.
With a swing of its sword fingers, the ma.s.sive sword energy shone brilliantly. It severed Kui’s lightning and thunder before slas.h.i.+ng at the divine lightning.
The divine lightning was strong. It repelled the streak of sword energy the moment it came into contact with it.
Guang Jiu, who was in his soul state, was shocked.
He knew the strength of the Silver Corpse after [Corpse Release]. Although it was not at the level where it could fight above its level, it had very few opponents at the same level.
Furthermore, Sword Nine’s unique ability could even sever the Kui’s attack, yet it was ineffective against the divine lightning?
Without the obstruction of any external forces, the lightning struck the Silver Corpse as usual.
In an instant, the Silver Corpse’s clothes turned into ashes. Its inner armor was decent, but it was still shattered by the lightning.
Without any external concealment, the Silver Corpse’s body was left in the open.
It had a great figure with perfect muscle lines and thick legs.
Bathed in the lightning and thunder, the Silver Corpse did not scream. There was no agony on its face. It was as if it sensed no pain in its body.
Ritz frowned slightly, finding it strange.
Why didn’t it scream?
What a weird guy!
Are the people from the outer realm all so tenacious?
Ritz didn’t think about it further.
The divine lightning lasted for three to four seconds.
The Silver Corpse’s entire body was charred black, and black smoke was rising from its body. Its skin had split, and the fragrance of roasted meat hit one’s nose.
Generally speaking, a person would have died from such injuries.
Ritz didn’t know that Silver Corpse wasn’t a living person.
Just like the character of Edo Tensei in Naruto, those injuries on its body were recovering at a visible speed.
Ritz found it even stranger.
Sect Master once said that Void Refinement cultivators could cultivate their bodies to the extreme and become immortal.
What kind of idea is that?
No matter how terrible the injuries were, even if the body was chopped up into pieces and burned to ashes, it would be reborn and returned to its original state.
This person from the outer realm and the indestructible body that Sect Master mentioned were very similar.
Ritz scratched his s.h.i.+ny head. Does he have an indestructible body?
He was not sure.
If it really was an indestructible body, then what was the point of fighting?
With such a cheat, he was already invincible.
Ritz was very indignant.
Indestructible body, is it?
Let’s see how many times you can be reborn.
Ritz refused to accept this.
He was like a divine being that had controlled the thunder punishment. Another bolt of lightning descended from the thundercloud.
Boom!
The Silver Corpse had just recovered when lightning struck it again.
This time, its body was split into countless pieces.
Flesh and blood filled the sky like a watermelon that had been shattered.
But soon, the scattered pieces of flesh seemed to be attracted by a magnetic force and gathered together, forming a human silhouette before returning to its original form.
“Does it really have an indestructible body?” Ritz was a little convinced now.
He shared the situation with w.a.n.g Zhixing through voice transmission.
“Peak Master, the person I’m going up against seems to have an indestructible body.
“I’ve already killed him twice, but he was reborn.”
w.a.n.g Zhixing replied, “I forgot to tell you, but it’s the same on my side.”
“Then why fight? We can’t kill them.”
“Don’t be in such a rush. Whether or not they have indestructible bodies cannot be concluded too early.
“I thought it was odd, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
“No matter what, we cannot let these two outer realm beings go.”
“But they can’t be killed!”
“If you can’t kill him, seal him.”
Ruiz said, “Their realms are very high. With our strength, I don’t think it’s easy to seal them!”
“I have a way about that. After I deal with this outer realm being, I will come to your side.”
“Alright!”
With that said, Ritz controlled the divine lightning again and shattered the Silver Corpse that had just returned to its original state.
After being killed three times in a row, Guang Jiu’s soul became somewhat transparent.
Although the Silver Corpse was indestructible, it still had its limits.
Every rebirth was extremely taxing on the soul.
A soul injury was on a completely different level compared to a physical one.
Injuries to the physical body could heal on their own if they were not serious. For the serious ones, as long as they weren’t life-threatening, one could recover after resting for a period of time.
However, the injury to the soul was extremely serious, even if it was the slightest one.
In addition, the soul did not have self-healing abilities, so one could only rely on external items to heal it.
However, the medicines that could cure the soul were all heavenly treasures. They were extremely rare.
Generally speaking, as long as one’s soul was injured, it was basically permanent.
The Corpse Refinement Faction had a unique soul cultivation method. Without requiring any medicine, the soul would be able to heal by itself.
However, if one suffered too much damage, nothing could be done.
Given Guang Jiu’s ability, the Silver Corpse could be reborn at most ten times.
If exceeded, his soul would be completely destroyed.
Without a soul, there was no possibility of reincarnation.
Guang Jiu was well aware of the pros and cons.
He looked to his elder for help. “Elder, we are dying.”
The black-bearded elder’s expression darkened.
He had seen their battle.
Although Guang Bai and Guang Jiu were suppressed by the array formation, the people fighting them were not weak.
If they were in the same realm, they would be able to kill them instantly.
From the battle just now, the immortal cultivators on this planet, whether in terms of their techniques or spells, were not nurtured by ordinary forces. There was definitely a powerful force here.
It was best not to provoke such a powerful faction, given the Corpse Refinement Faction’s current situation.
Although he was not afraid, it would be very troublesome.
The black-bearded elder realized the seriousness of the matter.
After thinking for a while, he ordered the people they had sent as reinforcements to turn back immediately.
“Guang Bai, Guang Jiu, come back!” the black-bearded elder instructed helplessly.
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu said, agitated, “Elder, if we go back, what about our Silver Corpses?
“Are you asking us to abandon them?”
The black-bearded elder remained silent.
He knew very well how difficult it was to nurture a corpse into a Silver Corpse.
But in the current situation, they could only give them up. If the Silver Corpses were continuously destroyed, their lives would be in danger.
Guang Bai and Guang Jiu knew that their elder’s words were for their own good.
However, they had poured too much blood and sweat into the Silver Corpses. The corpses were like their own children. They couldn’t just part with them.
The two of them hesitated for a moment before finally coming to a decision.
“Elder, I…” Guang Bai had just spat out a few words when he stopped.
His body collapsed without any warning, and his soul was pulled out from the top of his head.
This was his main soul, and the one controlling the Silver Corpse was his secondary soul.
“What’s going on?” The black-bearded elder was shocked and puzzled.
“Elder, save… save me!” Guang Bai’s main soul floated in the air, his eyes filled with fear.
The black-bearded old man quickly cast a spell, but Guang Bai’s main soul flew downwards.
“Elder…” Guang Bai’s cry for help came from below, and then he disappeared.
“Guang Jiu, quickly take a look at what happened.” The black-bearded elder looked at Guang Jiu.
Guang Jiu was still in shock. When he came back to his senses, his attention immediately s.h.i.+fted to the battlefield.
Guang Bai’s Silver Corpse was bound by a golden rope.
