Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 796 - 795: The Second Task

Xu Ping’an took out all the items he had obtained from this mission.

The most colossal among them was naturally the corpse of the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle.

With a thought from Xu Ping’an, the Golden Edge Mantis and the Savage Ape King appeared before him.

Both had reached the Tenth Rank Eighth Layer, advancing quickly, but in Xu Ping’an’s eyes, their progress was quite slow.

"These Demon Cores and the body are for you. You must break through to the Eleventh Rank for me, can you do it?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"We can, we will definitely make the breakthrough," the Savage Ape King said ecstatically.

This was a Divine Beast of the Immortal Emperor Realm, greatly beneficial for their cultivation advancement.

The Golden Edge Mantis was also visibly thrilled, nodding eagerly.

"Then go and make your breakthrough. I need to enhance my strength. If you can’t keep up with me, I’ll throw you into the Mortal Realm," said Xu Ping’an.

The two grew solemn at once.

They had seen the benefits of following Xu Ping’an.

Being cast back into the Mortal Realm would make it hard for them to advance their cultivation in the future.

So, they didn’t want to be thrown into the Mortal Realm under any circumstances.

But Xu Ping’an’s speed of improvement also brought immense pressure upon them.

It was truly terrifying; Xu Ping’an could now slay beings of the Immortal Emperor Realm, indicating how formidably strong he was.

Xu Ping’an didn’t say more and took the two into the Demon Elephant Tower.

He now needed to quickly enhance his strength, not just his own, but other aspects as well.

Thus, these two Demon Beasts were naturally very important resources.

Meanwhile, Yin Xue was also cultivating. This time, she might be able to enter the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Once she stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm, she could be of great assistance to him.

Having resolved these matters, Xu Ping’an turned his attention to the corpse of the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor and the Corpse Puppet.

If he could turn both these bodies into his Corpse Puppets, he would gain another trump card.

Hence, Xu Ping’an took out the storage ring of the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor and retrieved the Secret Tome from it.

"Three Corpses Soul Control Technique? Interesting," he mused.

Xu Ping’an quickly finished reading the contents of the Secret Tome, memorizing everything in his mind.

He found that the Three Corpses Soul Control Technique seemed to be tailor-made for him.

The so-called Three Corpses Soul Control Technique was actually about using one’s Soul Power to manipulate Corpse Puppets.

Previously, it required splitting a strand of the Soul origin to form a Talisman Seal on the Corpse Puppet.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

In theory, one could control three bodies at the same time.

However, since there’s only one Soul origin, most cultivators would only refine one Puppet.

If one were to refine three Soul origin Talisman Seals, it would mean splitting the essence of the origin trice, which could easily lead to the collapse of one’s Soul origin.

But Xu Ping’an didn’t face this problem; his Soul origin could divide indefinitely.

Not just three Soul origin Talisman Seals, but he could handle ten without an issue.

With this thought, Xu Ping’an suddenly looked at the Corpse Puppet before him and sneered.

Then, with a thought, a divine fire instantly entered the Niwan Palace of the Corpse Puppet.

"Ah!"

A wail of immense suffering followed.

Indeed, this lament was from the Remnant Soul the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor had planted into the Corpse Puppet.

As long as this strand of Remnant Soul hid within the Corpse Puppet’s body.

If Xu Ping’an hadn’t read that Secret Technique, it might have managed to escape his notice.

Now, under the refinement of the Chaotic Divine Fire, the Remnant Soul was utterly extinguished.

Xu Ping’an also sighed in relief.

He could use this Corpse Puppet directly, but to refine the body of the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor into a Corpse Puppet, he would need a treasure called Xuantian Nether Liquid.

This was a rare treasure between heaven and earth, exceedingly uncommon, with the function of strengthening the physical body.

Fortunately, the storage ring of the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor contained such a treasure.

It was the perfect opportunity to refine his corpse into a puppet.

Xu Ping’an did not hesitate and began to imprint the corpse puppet with a soul talisman seal.

Refining this kind of talisman seal was not difficult; the challenging part lay in splitting the soul.

A typical soul origin could only split off an extremely small part, and it was particularly prone to causing their own soul origin to collapse.

Therefore, even the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor had only split off a sliver of his soul origin.

But Xu Ping’an didn’t have such a problem.

A soul phantom that looked exactly like him walked straight out of his Niwan Palace.

In an instant, it turned into a talisman seal and entered the corpse puppet.

In that moment, the lifeless body suddenly opened its eyes, as if it had come to life.

Xu Ping’an felt the condition of this body.

Though the body was still lifeless, its ability to move was entirely due to his soul power manipulating it.

As for strength, because the physical body had undergone refinement, it had become extremely powerful.

Its physical strength alone was comparable to the Eighth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Now that Xu Ping’an controlled this corpse puppet, it was as if he had another fighter on the level of the Eighth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"With this corpse puppet, I now have a means of protecting my life," Xu Ping’an thought happily.

However, after all, a corpse puppet was just a corpse puppet, not an external incarnation.

Therefore, it faced significant limitations in many respects, such as the need to borrow Dai Principle power from the main body rather than cultivating it independently, and its strength was fixed, with no room for enhancement.

Of course, if he found suitable materials for tempering in the future, he could potentially increase its physical strength.

Xu Ping’an then turned his gaze back to the body of the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor.

Refining this body into a puppet would take a long time.

So Xu Ping’an had no choice but to immerse it in the Demon Elephant Tower in Xuantian Nether Liquid.

It was not too late to implant the soul origin mark after it was completely refined.

After dealing with these matters, Xu Ping’an finally set his sight on the Divine Fire Fruit.

He had obtained three Divine Fire Fruits, and with them, his strength should be able to break through directly to the Tenth Rank Fourth Layer.

Without hesitation, Xu Ping’an immediately consumed one.

A few hours later, he took the second one.

After consuming two Divine Fire Fruits, Xu Ping’an’s cultivation skyrocketed directly to the peak of the Tenth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, and his power made substantial advancements.

However, the increase in Immortal Elemental power contributed less to the enhancement of his overall strength.

Thus, Xu Ping’an’s strength was still around the Third Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm, just a bit stronger.

It seemed that in the future, the focus still needed to be placed on advancing in the Dao Principle Realm.

Xu Ping’an thought to himself and turned his attention to the second stele.

As he dropped blood on the stele, it lit up.

Seeing the content, Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished.

"To kill the top eleven on the genius list within three days?"

Xu Ping’an marveled at the content before him.

This task was indeed more difficult than the last.

Every one of the top ten on the genius list possessed the strength of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Tang Xinyue was only ninth on the genius list, so the difficulty of killing the top ten on the genius list was no small feat.

"Buzz!"

A beam of light came through.

Xu Ping’an was curious about where the stele would transport him this time.
