The corpse demon, as a famous monster, is weaker than human monks of the same level, but it is also limited, and the main gap is caused by its lack of spiritual intelligence.

This is like the confrontation between a human monk of the same level and a demon beast, the cultivation is the same, but the former has wisdom and can use magic weapons, and the latter can only rely on the innate ** and supernatural powers to fight, so it will naturally suffer a loss, and the same is true for corpse demons.

The corpse demon who died at the hands of Zhang Fan was not like this.

If it is a normal corpse demon, although it can win in the end, it must be through the wisdom of deceiving the other party's only instinct, and it is possible to deal with it completely as a demon beast.

But this corpse demon called Soul Venerable has all the wisdom, but it lacks one thing more than ordinary corpse demons, and it is precisely because of this that he will die.

It possesses a certain amount of power in vain, but it does not grasp the essence at all.

As a monster in the foundation building period, the corpse demon also has the basic characteristics of the foundation building period, which is condensation. The process of the monk's promotion to the foundation building period is the process of spiritual power from quantitative to qualitative change, and when the essence of spiritual power reaches the extreme, forming a qualitative gap, it is the time when the foundation building is completed.

The unique spiritual pressure in the foundation building period is formed by this, which is caused by the natural oppression of the superior to the lower in the same kind of thing.

This also indirectly proves Zhang Fan's secret speculation about this place, that corpse demon is actually equivalent to a typical watchdog-like character, and it can also be launched as a shield at a critical moment, just like now, Jiang Tao and others think that the problem has been solved and will not go deeper.

Many heaven and earth spiritual creatures have such instincts.

For example, where there is a spiritual object, there are often demon beasts guarding it, and many times it is not the demon beast that covets it, but the self-preservation instinct of the spiritual object, so that it can release some benefits in exchange for protection and disguise. This is the relationship between the bloodthirsty vine and the withered cicada that Zhang Fan encountered in the Valley of No Return.

Instinctive self-preservation alone can give birth to a corpse demon, so what level of spiritual creature should its body be?

Zhang Fan looked at the place where the cloud bed was, remembered and groaned for a while, and was about to do it, when he suddenly felt an itch in his ears, turned his head to look, and found that Mo Ling obviously couldn't wait, and actually gently pecked his ears for fun.

Petting the fluff around its neck, Zhang Fan thought about it, but despite its objections, he put it into the spirit beast bag.

This is all for the sake of safety, for so many years, he has not had a smooth sailing when he has obtained spiritual objects, who knows what kind of moths will come out this time?

He was confident that he had the power to protect himself, but Mo Ling was still young after all, like when he fought with the corpse demon before, he didn't dare to release it at the beginning, in case he was accidentally rubbed and touched, he had to die of distress?

After settling Mo Ling, Zhang Fan took a deep breath, and under the light breeze of his robe, the slate cloud bed rolled and flew out far away as if it were under a huge force.

At the moment when the stone slab flew out, a stream of Yin Qi with rich essence to the limit rose to the sky, and for a while, if there was a Yin Qi that was almost liquefied in substance, it was like a giant pillar of wolf smoke, standing on the spot.

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up suddenly, but he didn't step forward immediately, but took two steps back cautiously, and at the same time held up the Great Treasure Book and hung it above his head to prevent accidents.

After being so careful and vigilant for a long time, the giant pillar of yin qi was as solid as before, and it was not diluted by the relatively thin yin qi around it, showing the unique rejection of the surname that was condensed to the extreme.

In addition, in vain he was so guarded, but there was no abnormality.

Approaching cautiously, relying on the red light protection of the Great Treasure Jian, Zhang Fan directly stepped into the Yin Qi Giant Pillar and looked down.

At the same time, he was shocked and shocked, and the three treasures of Baojian, Qiankun Circle, and Strange Things Zhi played in unison, and he almost wanted to fly out of his hand.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Fan still stabilized his mind and did not act recklessly.

Even if the spiritual things below are cherished, they won't make him react like this**, the problem is that the following is not the spiritual essence of heaven and earth that he imagined, but a "person".

It may not be appropriate to use the term "human", but it may be more appropriate to describe it as a humanoid monster.

If Zhang Fan was an hour ago, he might not be able to recognize it, but he was afraid that he would take precautions immediately, and if he was not careful, he might even destroy this spiritual object.

"Heavenly corpse!"

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are two kinds of monsters called "heavenly corpses", one is one of refining corpses, which can fly to the sky;

There are yin points in the world, communicating with the nine shadows, which are the gathering of heaven and earth to yin.

The Heavenly Corpse is one of them, and the most terrifying one.

Zhang Fan didn't know about this at first, even if there was no record in the Strange Things, but the secret book he obtained from the Soul Venerable before was a top-notch demonic technique, and there was a description of this thing.

It can only be said that in the dark, there is a providence.

Zhang Fan unconsciously took out the secret book from the Qiankun bag and pinched it in his hand, his face full of strange colors.

I don't know where the corpse demon got it from, but it is a fragment of the exercises left by a great monk in ancient times, called "Soul Venerable Immeasurable Formula".

I think it's because it's because of this magic skill that the corpse demon calls himself Soul Venerable!

However, his cultivation is compared with the soul venerable of this exercise, it can be said that there is a difference between fireflies and Haoyue, although the exercise is not detailed, but just looking at the exercise even contains the secret cultivation method of the god transformation period, you can know that this person's cultivation has really been earth-shattering, if at this time, it may be the first person in the world.

It's a pity that this is only a fragment, and what is missing is still the first part, and the corpse demon thought that he had also groped for himself and combined with other exercises and practices before his death, so he failed to refine the great divine powers, otherwise he would not have fallen here and turned into a corpse demon, and it would definitely not be so easy to deal with.

In the Immeasurable Secret of the Soul Venerable, it is precisely recorded that the heavenly corpse is a spiritual object, and there are detailed secret methods for practice.

Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't transfer to the Demon Dao Technique because of a mere fragment, but it would be harmless to learn the secret techniques that could be used in it.

The problem was that this secret technique was not easy to cultivate, and he couldn't help but look at the heavenly corpse in the crypt in front of him, like a sleeping corpse.

It is said that the corpse demon before was also unlucky, he must have come here to collect yin qi attracted, and wanted to come here to practice the Fa, but he was besieged by the yin spirit, and when he got here, he died of exhaustion.

It is unknown how he entered the mine before it was rediscovered at the time.

After his death, under the influence of the instinct of the heavenly corpse, he absorbed the yin qi and transformed into a corpse demon in a short period of time, and I don't know if it was the heavenly corpse unintentionally or what happened to him, he actually did not lose consciousness, but retained the memory of his life.

However, at this time, he was already a corpse demon body, and he could no longer practice the secret method of the Soul Venerable Immeasurable Technique, and he was resurrected by the influence of the Heavenly Corpse, and he was also invisibly subject to the other party.

At this time, Zhang Fan, who had the same magic trick in his hand, was in a much more favorable situation than him.

Under his gaze, the heavenly corpse was still exuding a rich yin qi, looking burly and strange with a body of seven feet, not an inch and a strange face, as clear as a knife and an axe, if it were not for the fact that its lower body was flat and without concave and convex, it was no different from ordinary people.

According to the magic formula, as long as the heavenly corpse is conceived in the yin cave for 100,000 years, it will give birth to spiritual awakening, and once it wakes up, it will have the cultivation of the primordial infancy stage, and become a great supernatural person who dominates the world.

However, such a good thing almost never happens, and it is often discovered before it wakes up, and then it is sacrificed by the secret method of the Demon Dao, and finally becomes a good Yuan Infant clone, and is not afraid of damage to the consumption of spiritual power, as long as there is Yin Qi and it will never be exhausted, no matter what damage is suffered, as long as it absorbs enough Yin Qi, it can be restored as before.

However, in order to control such a heavenly corpse, it must at least have the same primordial infant cultivation, otherwise under the backlash of the heavenly corpse, it is difficult to say who is whose doppelganger.

Now in front of Zhang Fan, there are two choices.

One is to carefully put away the heavenly corpse, as long as it is far away from the Yin Acupoint, it will never be able to absorb enough Yin Qi, and it can never be awakened, and it can be kept until it reaches the cultivation of the Yuan Infant, and then it will be sacrificed. At that time, even if he is only in the early stage of his cultivation, he will have great supernatural powers, and he will not be afraid of anyone.

The second is to use another secret method in the Soul Venerable Immeasurable Technique, directly scattering the heavenly corpses that have no power to fight back, and using the Nine Yin Qi that escaped when their bodies collapsed, they turned into condensed three demon babies, and cultivated them into the body to form the Three Infants' Soul Devouring Divine Power.

For this supernatural power, the Soul Venerable's evaluation itself is only four words: "Tyrannical Heavenly Things!"

After the cultivation of these three infant soul devouring supernatural powers, they do not have any power in a short period of time, but they have to be continuously cultivated in the body, and then absorb the things of the yin spirit to make them advanced, but at best, the three demon babies can only climb to the same level of cultivation as the owner, and then they can only follow the master step by step to improve.

This Divine Soul Venerable itself is not very important, and it was not created by him, but it was obtained by accident and has something to do with the Heavenly Corpse, which is considered a trick, which is barely included in the trick.

If there is no such supernatural power, Zhang Fan will honestly put away the heavenly corpse, and wait until after the Yuan Infant Period to practice according to the secret method, and his self-cultivation will be greatly increased, achieving the effect of one plus one but far greater than two, in that case, he will be an invincible existence in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, even in the face of the great cultivators above the middle stage, he may not be without the strength to fight.

This was already a good result, but God put another option in front of him.

Is it to be strong in the future, or is it to be in the immediate interest?

Zhang Fan pondered for a long time, and finally showed a wry smile on his face, slowly stretched out a hand, and pressed it to the abdomen of the heavenly corpse.

"That's it, willing to give up, reluctant to give up, there is giving to get!"

Once again, he made up his mind in his heart, and his palm suddenly exerted force, and the spiritual power surged out, rushing directly into the heavenly corpse, "Bang!"

Under the agitation of spiritual power, the Yin Qi Giant Pillar suddenly collapsed, and at the same time, the Heavenly Corpse, which had been like a sleeping corpse, suddenly shook, and then dispersed violently under the effect of the spiritual power that erupted from the inside out.
