Even so, he remained extremely cautious.
The Heavenly Corpse Bead above his head was dropping Kunkun Corpse Evil Qi, flooding and covering his body, and he was already prepared to make a move.
"Heh."
Seeing the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master adopt such a tough stance, a faint smile hooked the corner of Lu Changsheng’s lips.
In an instant, a domineering, peerless surge of Qi-Blood burst out from his body, like a golden flood roaring through heaven and earth.
This Qi-Blood and mana were like billions of divine mountains, pressing down so that heaven and earth trembled, the void shattered, the might surging to the sky.
The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master instantly felt as if bearing a thousand-jun weight, as though sinking into the Deep Sea; the air around him congealed, and he sensed an unprecedented danger.
It was as if he were facing a primordial Fierce Beast head-on!
Fourth Rank Body Refining, Magical Dual Cultivation!
This Yangming True Monarch’s Qi-Blood and mana both far surpassed his, suppressing him so much he could barely breathe; it seemed that both magic and body had reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
How was this possible!
The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master stared at Yangming True Monarch in front of him, his expression filled with utter disbelief.
He knew that Yangming True Man cultivated both magic and body.
But in just a few decades, how could the other’s magic and body both have broken through from Core Formation Late Stage to Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
Yet the next instant, he only felt that the Yangming True Monarch before him had eyes deep and lofty like the endless cosmos, his entire being as if drawing one into unfathomable depths.
"Buzz!"
His Soul suddenly trembled, and a surge of dread rose to his heart.
He realized that this Yangming True Monarch’s Divine Sense and Soul likewise far outstripped his, having reached Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
At that moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master lost his nerve.
He accepted the fact that this Yangming True Monarch had, in just a few decades, had both magic and body break through to Fourth Rank Middle Stage, becoming a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant.
Even though it was utterly unbelievable.
But the facts were right in front of him; they could not be faked.
Qi-Blood and mana could still be enhanced through certain methods, but Soul and Divine Sense were extremely difficult to bolster.
At this moment, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master understood why Ming Sha True Monarch had died in the other’s hands.
This Yangming True Monarch was just as the early rumors had said, a Great Power reincarnated to cultivate anew.
His Cultivation Realm and strength could not be measured by common sense!
In just a few decades, he had become a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant.
Facing him, Ming Sha True Monarch had probably not prepared to go all out, and so died on the spot.
As for that Fourth Rank Demon Evil Qi entrenched in the Yiming Ghost Sect, he also faintly guessed the truth.
Most likely it was this Yangming True Monarch’s Spiritual Pet—the Golden Peng Bird!
"If True Monarch has something to say, please speak; I am willing to listen with washed ears."
A trace of bitterness rose in the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s heart as he cupped his hands and spoke.
Originally, he had relied on his own strength and Nascent Soul status, thinking that no matter what, he could at least escape when facing Lu Changsheng.
But now, with the other having slain Ming Sha True Monarch and displaying the strength of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant, the pride in his heart vanished in an instant.
After all, in a remote place like the Jin Kingdom in the Southern Wilderness, there were simply no Nascent Soul Middle Stage giants.
Even across the entire Southern Wilderness Northern Domain, Nascent Soul Middle Stage giants could be counted on one’s fingers; they were Top Level cultivators!
