616 The Perfect Weapon
Instead of heading straight to East Qingzhouâs ten counties, Qin Huai had another task to prioritize: organizing the spoils of war from the white-robed king. He retreated into a secret chamber and summoned the white-robed king bone and king corpse from the bronze world.
Examining the two, Qin Huai realized he couldnât create a new king corpse with just half of the bones he had. But it was sufficient to enhance the current king corpseâs power. The bones he had given Zhang Youji were the ones he didnât value, making them essentially âleftovers.â
Qin Huai began his work, using the bones he had: two arms, two thighs, and a spine. Using the divine power book of a thousand creations, he disassembled the king corpse, replacing the old bones with the newer, stronger ones.
Hours went by, and a renewed king corpse stood before him, its size notably larger. The corpse now boasted four arms, with two of them cleverly hidden.
Next, Qin Huai procured the scarlet blood bead. Apart from its hard shell akin to a king realm physique, its primary function was to command the blood sea, condensing it. The Sacred Heart Sect Master likely crafted it for the blood sea, but with the blood sea gone, the beadâs value diminished for most.
However, Qin Huai had a different idea in mind.
Activating the bead, a torrent of fresh blood poured out, revealing the blood sea that Qin Huai had previously condensed and stored in the bronze world. Using this powerful reservoir, he infused the king corpse with the blood, weaving it through the joints and animating the corpse.
The blood, sourced from countless souls, now served as the very essence of this new king corpse.
âThe king corpse can only be under my command within the blood seaâs bounds. But if I infuse the blood sea into the corpseâ¦â Thoughts raced through Qin Huaiâs mind.
Days later, the once emaciated kingâs corpse had become robust. Its entire form glowed a deep red, indicating the immense power contained within. In essence, Qin Huai had infused the destructive power of a spear into the corpse, amplifying its inherent abilities.
He made the corpse exit the secret chamber, and even though its speed hadnât changed, under Qin Huaiâs guidance, it became faster. Soon, it became a mere speck in the distance, moving beyond the blood seaâs influence.
This confirmed Qin Huaiâs hypothesis: wherever the corpse went, it would still be within the range of the blood sea, as long as the sea remained within it.
The only drawback was that Qin Huai couldnât visually track the corpse. But with a deep concentration, his left eye took on a blood-red hue, and suddenly, he could see through the eyes of the corpse. This blood mirror technique gave Qin Huai an uninterrupted link to the king corpse, allowing him to witness everything it did.
Furthermore, this corpse was virtually indestructible. Common vulnerabilities like vital organs were irrelevant to it. Its only weakness was its bones, which were immensely hard to destroy. This made the king corpse a perfect weapon.
Qin Huai tested its abilities by making it execute various moves tens of kilometers away, realizing there was no delay in its response.
âThe intricacies of martial arts truly surpass my previous lifeâs understanding,â he mused. In essence, this king corpse was a puppet with real-time reactions.
He sent the king corpse to explore the other regions of Qingzhou. He intended to gauge the status of these territories and test the distance limit of his control over the corpse.
All the while, back in the chamber, Qin Huai meditated, focusing on another item he had acquired from the white-robed king, the [Domain Sphere: Boundless Blood World], an item capable of enhancing domains.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
