Heaven Catastrophe
When Xiao Yi settled a place for Duanmu to rest, he promised to find a better body for Duanmu when the time came.
Now, this ancient corpse was undoubtedly most suitable for Duanmu's body.
However, the ancient corpse was, after all, a corpse. At that time, it was occupied by the Ancient Devil's Divine Soul and only used to control the body. Like Duanmu controlling the Sky-ghost, he only used the body as a magical artifact to accommodate the Divine Soul. He did not truly fuse the Divine Soul with the corpse.
Moreover, the effect that Xiao Yi wanted to achieve today was far more than that. It was clear that Xiao Yi wanted to bring Duanmu back to life and make him live with flesh and blood!
Xiao Yi did not know what kind of accident would happen.
After thinking for a while, he took the ancient corpse and the Soul Tree and flew out of the island. After flying for hundreds of miles, he found a deserted island and landed on it.
As soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Yi set up the concealment formation in advance. He simply set up a protective formation to cover the island.
Then, he released the Fire Dragon Cauldron. When the Samei True Flame was triggered, a fire burned under the cauldron.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yi was the first to pour the water from the Spirit Spring into the cauldron. Then, he threw a bunch of withered herbs into it.
Once the ball of herbs came into contact with the water, it immediately spread out and instantly became lush and green.
This unique herb was naturally the Death Revival Grass.
Then, Xiao Yi added a bunch of ingredients. It took him an hour to refine nine level 4 Spiritual Pills, the Soul-rejuvenating Pill.
It was said that the pill had the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. Of course, this was an exaggeration. Otherwise, if one met someone on the verge of death, there was no need for any other miraculous pills.
However, even so, the Soul-rejuvenating Pill had an incomparable effect on other spiritual pills. It could communicate with Yang Qi and travel through the vessels.
Therefore, Xiao Yi had to refine the Soul-rejuvenating Pill as soon as possible.
After the pills were completed, Xiao Yi carefully searched the whole body of the corpse. He found that the corpse was soft and only had bruises around the neck.
This was also the last step that Ancient Devil failed to complete.
Only when the bruises were completely removed on the neck could this ancient corpse return to life and become a person with flesh and blood.
Removing the bruises was obviously not difficult for Xiao Yi. With a shake of his hand, he took out the silver needle he carried and carefully pierced the silver needle into the neck of the ancient corpse.
Then, he used the long needle and the big needle from the Nine Heavenly Medical Needles. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi shook his hand and put the long needle into the Baihui point on the top of the ancient corpse's head. The big needle was inserted into the Tanzhong point in the chest.
After everything was done, Xiao Yi calmed down and took out the piece of Soul Tree. He called Duanmu and said, "Duanmu, how are you?"
"Coming!" The Soul Tree answered, and a soft white Divine Soul immediately came out.
However, as soon as Duanmu got out of the Soul Tree, he saw the ancient corpse sitting cross-legged on the ground and the dense silver needles in the corpse.
Duanmu was shocked. Just as he was in shock, he heard Xiao Yi ask, "What do you think? Are you satisfied with this body?"
Duanmu's soul trembled, and he looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief. He cried out involuntarily, "Xiao Yi, this, this, what do you mean?"
"Haha, what do I mean?" Xiao Yi said with a faint smile. "You won't be able to live in the body of a Sky-ghost. I've already said that I'll find a suitable body for you. This body is a cultivator's body at the Apotheosis Realm through ancient cultivation methods. It won't be a disgrace to you. It matches the Warrior Sage level!"
"Ah?" Duanmu was shocked and could not believe what he had heard.
He didn't expect that Xiao Yi would give this rare body to him.
What did he think he was? To put it bluntly, he was merely a prisoner that Xiao Yi had brought out of the demon world. He had tried to harm Xiao Yi twice, and the second time was even more so when Xiao Yi's Divine Awareness was damaged.
However, this was how Xiao Yi treated him back.
At this moment, Duanmu was shocked. He looked at Xiao Yi and muttered, "Xiao Yi..."
However, Xiao Yi didn't care for Duanmu's words. He pointed at the corpse and said: "Stop dawdling and quickly enter the Mind Sea!"
"Ok!" Duanmu knew it was unnecessary no matter what he said. His Divine Soul flew into the ancient corpse's Mind Sea.
When Xiao Yi saw it, he carefully guarded his mind. Raising his hand, he stuffed the Soul-rejuvenating Pill into the ancient corpse's mouth. He flicked his two fingers at the corpse's throat, and the pill immediately fell into the corpse's stomach.
Then, Xiao Yi struck out with both hands and pressed them on the ancient corpse's acupoints respectively. He then used his own Pure Yang Qi to communicate with the pill effect of the Soul-rejuvenating Pill.
The ancient corpse's inner meridians had long been opened up with the help of the Ancient Devil's mysterious technique. Once Xiao Yi used his True Energy to activate it, the pill's effect immediately traveled all over the body.
Xiao Yi's eyes were sharp, and his hands were nimble. He hastily moved the silver needle on the ancient corpse's neck to break through the bruise on the corpse's neck.
One by one, the silver needles began to tremble under the flick of Xiao Yi's finger. Black Corpse Qi shot up rapidly from the neck of the corpse. The corpse's Qi soared into the sky in the blink of an eye. It rose and shot straight into the sky.
By the time the corpse Qi had dissipated, threads of tiny red lines had surged up from the body.
When the red thread passed through its Mind Sea, Xiao Yi shouted, "Duanmu, get yourself ready!"
At the same time, Xiao Yi's hands moved. With one hand, he pushed down the long needle from the ancient corpse's Baihui acupoint, and with the other, he pulled out the huge needle from the ancient corpse's middle acupoint.
With Xiao Yi's action, Duanmu was in the corpse's Mind Sea suddenly felt a sharp pain and instinctively ran away.
With a muffled boom, the central vein of the ancient corpse, which had dried up for a long time, finally shone brightly again under Duanmu and Xiao Yi's cooperation.
A strong Pure Yang Qi, wrapped in the unique efficacy of the Soul-rejuvenating Pill, rushed straight into the Mind Sea.
As for Duanmu's Divine Soul, it moved from head to toe, traveling through the entire body in a single breath.
The last bruise on the old corpse's neck was struck open with one stroke.
The heart of the ancient corpse, which had been beating for tens of millions of years, finally began to recover with all its strength after a slight tremble. It began to fight with a strong force.
A unique feeling of the blend of spiritual and flesh instantly emerged in Duanmu's Divine Awareness.
His Divine Soul, which had not been able to find its home for a long time, finally felt a very comfortable feeling of being born again.
The ancient corpse was no longer an ancient corpse! Instead, from this moment forth, it became a living person!
This was Duanmu's real new life in the sense of the word "real"!
Duanmu felt so comfortable that he wanted to hum after walking through his body. He slowly stretched out his arms. Duanmu lowered his head and looked at his new hands with great surprise. His hands were clean, tidy, and powerful, as if he had once held endless power.
Now, this pair of hands, even this extraordinary body, had become his own!
"Hahaha, I, Duanmu Kurong, have finally come back to life!" Duanmu couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.
With a thought, he jumped up.
However, after all, it was a new body. It was still quite clumsy to control it. After staggering a few steps, he fell to the ground.
Even so, Duanmu still couldn't stop himself from bursting into laughter. However, he began to tremble and sobbed in a low voice as he finished laughing.
There was endless desolation and pain in his crying.
Hearing Duanmu's sobbing, Xiao Yi's heart ached. He knew that Duanmu must be lamenting too much in his heart. As the saying goes. "A man's tears won't easily fall because it hadn't reached his heart".
He used to be the first devil cultivator, but now he was crying with his head in his arms. The bitterness in his heart was naturally beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Duanmu, hold back your mind, calm your heart, breathe in and out, and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. At this moment, you're just like a newborn who has a Pure Yang Body. You can travel a thousand miles at a time if you cultivate right now. I'll personally protect you!" Xiao Yi said as he pulled the long needle above Duanmu's head.
"Very well!" Duanmu immediately sat up and listened to Xiao Yi's instructions. With his five minds facing the sky, he sat in meditation. In an instant, all his pores could feel the surging Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth. The aptitude of his physical body was naturally not something that the Sky-ghost body of the past could compare to.
Duanmu was overjoyed. Now that Xiao Yi was protecting him, he had closed his five senses and entered a state of Thoughtless Tranquility, where he focused on his cultivation. At this moment, even if the earthquake would not wake him up.
Seeing that everything was successfully done, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in relief. The various accidents he expected didn't come. Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh. Duanmu's fortune was not small.
Who would have expected his thoughts to rise when he suddenly sensed the darkness above his head? At some unknown moment, a thick dark cloud had gathered in the sky above this desolate island. It had rapidly declined and became lower. It had quietly covered this small island within it.
"Ah!" Xiao Yi only took one look and his heart suddenly jolted. He subconsciously cried out, "What's going on?"
However, after a moment of surprise, Xiao Yi also instantly understood.
This ancient corpse was brought back to life by Xiao Yi's great effort. This was heaven-defying. It was going to bring about Heaven Catastrophe!
Now, Duanmu's Heaven Catastrophe had arrived!
Sure enough, streaks of bright white lightning were fiercely brewing within the thick clouds. A boundless pressure came from within the Calamity Clouds.
Xiao Yi's heart trembled. However, he looked back at Duanmu, who had closed his eyes and was cultivating with concentration. If he allowed the Heaven Catastrophe to enter his body, Duanmu would suffer Qi Deviation or die on the spot.
Xiao Yi recalled Duanmu's joy and tears when he had just regained his new life. How could he let such a thing happen?
He just had personally promised Duanmu to protect him. Now that the Heaven Catastrophe had arrived, he had no choice but to help him resist it.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Yi knew there was no turning back for him. He could only shake his body and jump into the air, protecting Duanmu above his head.
He patted the back of his head and took the lead in releasing Doomsday Sword.
Then, with a move of his body, the Silver-winged Robe appeared to protect his body.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yi looked at the sky and shouted, "Come on!"
Before his voice had died away, it was as if Heaven was responding to Xiao Yi's declaration of war. Within the dark and thick clouds, a silver light flashed. Beams of light shot down!
