Chapter 5: Chapter 5 - Corpse Devouring Body

Blue Lotus Sect

In a room filled with candles exuding a lively and vibrant aura, a disciple dressed in the characteristic garb of the outer sect maintained a bored expression as he watched.

Then, suddenly, one of the candle flames began to weaken at a rate visible to the naked eye and went out instantly.

The disciple was surprised and quickly climbed up to the upper area where that candle was, to read the name that was written below it.

Outer Elder, Ling Junhao

Seeing that name, the disciple couldn't help but exclaim:

"Elder Ling? But hadn't he become Protector of the Saint?"

"Is he dead?"

Realizing something important, he left the room without hesitation and ran towards the Sect Master's palace.

At that moment, in the main hall of the Blue Lotus Sect, an important meeting was taking place with all the elders present.

An elder with an excited expression came forward and asked Sun Donghai, who was sitting in the main seat:

"Sect Master, is it true?"

"The Elder has broken through and become a Saint King?"

All the elders held their breath and waited anxiously for the answer. After all, the success of this plan depended on the fact that the ancestor had broken through.

"The Ancestor has broken through to the Saint King realm and is consolidating cultivation," said Sun Donghai, while observing the expressions of the elders who were originally anxious, now extremely happy.

"When the ancestor leaves, that will be the day when our sect destroys the other three and becomes the supreme sect of the Zhenfang dynasty."

"Haha, now even that old man from the royal family won't dare bully us again."

"That old man? He's already one foot in the grave, I'm afraid he can't even wield the true power of a Saint King anymore."

Sun Donghai was watching the elders ecstatically discussing the future, when suddenly a panicked voice sounded from the doorway.

"But didn't she just go to get that useless prince?"

"With Elder Ling's strength, as long as he's not a holy power, it shouldn't be a problem for him to escape or at least seek our help."

"How could he die like that?"

"Was it that prince who acted?" asked an elder timidly.

"Only that one? Would a useless prince have a saint as his guardian? Even the Yunling girl doesn't get such treatment, let alone that trash," snorted another elder scornfully.

Song Yang's Secret Kingdom

At this moment, in the palace, inside the majestic main hall, Song Yang is playing with a ring in his palm.

This is Elder Ling's space ring!

He decided to kill Elder Ling not because he wanted to break completely with the Blue Lotus Sect; it was more a consequence of his act.

What he wanted most right now was a corpse to try out his Corpse Devouring Body on. He waited to find out who had faked his death just to kill and get a corpse.

Otherwise, with the help of his subordinate who had reached the half-step of the Saint King, he could have escaped discreetly.

But when he saw Sun Yunling's beauty, he didn't want to kill her, at least not before enjoying her

It was fortunate that she had brought an Elder whose cultivation was at the peak of the royal realm. Compared to the benefits of absorbing a corpse in the royal realm, the corpse of a small soul formation was not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, if it had only been Sun Yunling, I'm afraid he wouldn't have hesitated to kill her. After all, what was pleasure before strength?

"System, extract my special physique."

[Ding, merging the Corpse Devouring Body with the host...]

As soon as the system started, Song Yang felt a strange sensation in his body. At the same time, a technique appeared in his mind. This technique seemed special, as if it had been made exactly for him.

The Supreme Devouring Sutra!

This technique is extremely overpowering and also the perfect complement to his physique, as it can transform the energy absorbed from the corpse into his own energy without any side effects.
