70: The demonic corpse has awakened.
Just as Old Ghost let out a crazed laugh, all the blood in the blood pool finally completely merged into the demonic corpse.
As the last drop of blood was absorbed by the demonic corpse, the viscous blood covering its body also began to slowly recede.
Immediately after, an unbelievable scene unfolded: Qin Shou actually witnessed the demonic corpse's skin begin to restore to a normal human complexion at a visible speed, becoming rosy and lustrous, as if a sleeping infant was slowly awakening and regaining vitality.
What amazed Qin Shou even more was that after the skin returned to a normal human appearance, the masculine features on the demonic corpse began to slowly disappear.
Instead, feminine characteristics became increasingly obvious; its chest became more prominent, its curves grew softer, and its entire body exuded an alluring aura.
Following this, Qin Shou even felt that this sleeping demonic corpse gave off an extremely enchanting sensation, as if it were a peerless enchantress, capable of captivating all beings simply by lying there quietly.
Even from a distance, Qin Shou felt that the demonic corpse's allure was stronger than that of all the women he had seen before, containing an irresistible charm.
Of course, Qin Shou was not the only one with this feeling; Guo Gang, who was beside him, also felt it.
“Old Qin, why the hell do I think this corpse looks a bit good, hehe!”
Meanwhile, Ye Wuhuan in the adjacent stone chamber, upon seeing the demonic corpse for the first time, had an undisguised look of greed flash in his eyes.
As the last drop of blood disappeared into the demonic corpse's glabella, Old Ghost's body, which had been trembling with excitement, suddenly leaped up, directly onto the stone platform where the demonic corpse lay.
Then, Old Ghost took out a talisman covered with strange patterns from hisIn my arms and solemnly placed it on the demonic corpse's forehead. Immediately after, he took out another identical talisman from hisIn my arms and placed it on his own forehead.
After doing all this, Old Ghost actually lay down beside the demonic corpse.
“Old Qin, what is this old fellow going to do?”
Guo Gang looked at the bizarre scene before him, his voice trembling, and he couldn't help but ask uneasily.
“Shh! Don't you dare speak, I don't want to be discovered.”
Qin Shou stared intently at the stone platform with a solemn expression.
“Begin the Soul Transfer Array!”
Just then, Envoy Han suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice tinged with fanaticism.
Then, the next moment, all the Blood Demon Sect disciples suddenly stood up, forming three concentric circles around Old Ghost and the demonic corpse, and began to chant incantations under their breath.
“Ling'er, can you tell me what they are doing?”
Seeing this scene, Qin Shou couldn't help but ask a question in his mind.
At the same moment Qin Shou posed the question, Ling'er's phantom once again appeared in his mind.
“They are performing the Great Soul Transfer Art, hehe, interesting, interesting, it seems this old fellow is preparing to switch bodies.” Ling'er's voice carried a hint of playfulness.
Qin Shou frowned, and asked curiously, “Great Soul Transfer Art? What is that?”
“This is a secret art created by a master in the Ancient Era, but to activate it, one needs at least a Heaven-rank cultivation.”
Ling'er patiently explained.
“But these people are clearly not strong enough, so it was modified into an array, using the power of many to drive the array and forcibly transfer the soul. I must say, this old fellow is truly a talent to come up with such a method.”
“You said this old fellow wants to change bodies?”
Qin Shou was startled by the news; everything he had witnessed today was too far beyond common sense. If Qin Shou didn't have a bug-level system like Ling'er, he would never have believed what was happening before his eyes.
“Indeed.”
Ling'er nodded.
“My goodness, this demonic corpse is immortal and indestructible. If he switches into it, wouldn't he be invincible?”
“Hehe, Master, don't panic, he won't be able to switch. Just watch.”
Ling'er in his mind smiled sweetly, clearly unconcerned, even seeming to enjoy the spectacle.
Sure enough, Qin Shou looked up and saw that as the group activated the array, a faint, smoke-like phantom slowly drifted out from Old Ghost's forehead.
“Holy crap! Old Qin, a ghost!”
The moment Guo Gang saw Old Ghost's soul, he was scared out of his wits, shuddered, and tightly hugged Qin Shou next to him.
“Damn it, Guo Gang, let go of me!”
Qin Shou was held so tightly by Guo Gang that he couldn't break free, and he didn't dare to make too much noise. In this situation, any disturbance would mean certain death.
“Old Qin, just hug me, I'm scared!”
Guo Gang pleaded, his corpulent body pressing against Qin Shou, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“I'm really screwed, how did I become sworn brothers with a guy like you!”
A million grass-mud horses galloped through Qin Shou's mind.
The moment Old Ghost's soul appeared, the thick black mist grinned menacingly and, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, darted towards the demonic corpse lying on the stone platform.
However, at that very instant, the demonic corpse, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them, and a faint, eerie red glow flashed in its gaze.
“What's happening? Why did the demonic corpse awaken early! Is the blood impure?”
Old Ghost was so startled by this sudden turn of events that he almost lost his soul. He shuddered, and his soul no longer dared to drill in, turning to flee back into his own body.
However, the moment Old Ghost turned around, the demonic corpse suddenly opened its mouth and inhaled, creating a powerful suction like a black hole.
“Ah—!”
With a tragic scream from Old Ghost, his soul was directly swallowed by the demonic corpse.
“What the heck! What's going on? Did it succeed? Ling'er, didn't you say he wouldn't succeed?”
Qin Shou, hiding in the distance, hadn't clearly seen the lightning-fast change. He thought Old Ghost's soul had successfully entered the demonic corpse, and asked in confusion.
“Hehe, Master, you saw it wrong. It wasn't the old fellow's soul that went in just now; it was swallowed by the demonic corpse,” Ling'er explained, her voice tinged with a hint of mischief.
“Swallowed? How could that happen?”
“Hehe, Master, this demonic corpse was originally a pure yin body. Because it only had yin energy, the yin and yang couldn't harmonize, thus preventing the formation of divine consciousness, which is why it could be controlled by others.
Now, Master, you've mixed in a man's blood, which is like the union of yin and yang, perfectly aligning with the way all living beings were created at the dawn of creation. The demonic corpse has already gained a soul, which is why it swallowed Old Ghost's soul. Now this is truly interesting.”
“Haha, interesting? Why do I feel very uneasy—”
“Jie—Jie—Jie—”
Qin Shou stared blankly at the demonic corpse on the stone platform, which had just stood up straight and let out a sharp, piercing shriek.
