Chapter 364 Shattering the Void, the Heavenly Demon Descends

From God's perspective.

The Three Corpses obtained a primordial spirit incarnation and headed towards Jingnan as soon as it landed. Judging from its posture, it was not going to meet up with Lu Shanjun and others, but heading straight for the Northern Song army camp.

Duncan had no intention of intervening. He separated a wisp of his divine sense to follow the actions of the three corpses, and then his consciousness entered a state of communion with the heavens and man.

"If I were to defeat the Northern Song army with the help of Lu Shanjun and others, he would definitely look down on me."

"If he can defeat an army of ten thousand men single-handedly, so can I."

"Why not just kill Zhao Kuangyin?"

The Three Corpses acted immediately, using their movement techniques to head straight for Nanping. Duncan had given him the cultivation of the Dao Realm, and in this world, apart from a very few, there were almost no people who could rival him. Before the world completed its ascension, the Dao Realm was practically the ceiling for mortals, and there might not be many people who truly attained immortality even in hundreds of years.

It didn't take long.

The Three Corpses then encountered a scout sent by the Northern Song army. His figure soared into the air, and with a single grab of his hand, he captured one of them.

"Leave one alive to interrogate the enemy about their plans, kill the rest."

These scouts sent by the Northern Song Dynasty were probably only three-star level, which is considered above average in this world. In an instant, the three corpses seized the sword, and the three-foot blade slashed down, splitting the man and horse in two. The other man tried to escape, but a pebble he casually kicked pierced through his chest.

"It's long overdue for a massacre."

"With the infusion of true energy, the pebbles launched by this avatar have almost the same power as bullets."

"If you had let me come earlier, I would have fought my way all the way to Liaodong."

In an instant, the Three Corpses slaughtered the enemy cavalry, leaving only one man. Then, they picked up the scout with one hand, used the Tendon-Dislocating Bone-Breaking Technique to crush his limbs, and interrogated him for information about the Northern Song army.

He was still somewhat cautious, knowing that it would be too reckless for one person to charge into a vast army, so he planned to sneak into the military camp under the cover of night to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin.

"If your personal strength can overwhelm the secular world, you need to be bold. If you can't win, just run away."

The Three Corpses changed into the uniforms of the Northern Song army and quietly crept towards the enemy camp. They waited for nightfall to act, intending to infiltrate the camp and assassinate Zhao Kuangyin. If they failed, they would kill a few generals. They didn't believe that the enemy's morale wouldn't collapse after several days of continuous assassinations.

Just as the three corpses were killing several people, Duncan also felt a wisp of energy entering his body.

He opened his eyes in surprise, thinking to himself, "With the Three Corpses Killing the Enemy, will I also be able to seize cultivation?"

His true essence increased by a tiny, almost imperceptible amount, but it did increase.

Night falls.

At this moment, the Three Corpses had already quietly infiltrated the Northern Song army camp. His figure was like a ghost, sneaking in like an assassin, quietly killing a patrol of guards, and then heading straight towards the central army camp.

"This place is indeed heavily guarded."

"But that won't stop me."

With a light tap of his toes, San Shi darted out. Relying on his superior agility and protective inner energy, he completely disregarded the soldiers and officers in the camp. After infiltrating the central army camp, he immediately locked onto a burly middle-aged man and exclaimed with delight, "This should be Zhao Kuangyin."

Die to me!
The three corpses suddenly launched an attack, and a sword aura more than three zhang long shot out, directly slashing towards the figure inside.

boom!
Zhao Kuangyin's tent was instantly cleaved in two, and the figure seemed to sense it as well. In an instant, a spear shadow, like a coiled dragon, appeared. With a clang, sparks flew as the spear blocked the sword energy slashed down by the Three Corpses. Then, the man used the spear to perform staff techniques, like countless dragon shadows in the sky, with energy and fierce aura raging out.

"There are assassins!"

The entire central army camp was instantly thrown into chaos as figures rapidly surrounded them from all directions.

"not good."

The three corpses' expressions changed, and they thought to themselves, "I almost forgot that Zhao Kuangyin was also a martial arts master."

"The Taizu Long Fist and the Panlong Staff must not be used for prolonged battles."

Big clumsy hands.

The Three Corpses raised their hands and unleashed a palm strike, creating a 30-meter-long palm print. A group of soldiers surging from the right instantly exploded, their bones and tendons broken. Even a general who practiced military martial arts died on the spot, his entire body shattered by the palm strike.

"Cool!"

"This is the true exhilaration of mowing down enemies on the battlefield."

The three corpses now looked completely absorbed, as if they were in a Dynasty Warriors game, using Lu Bu to slaughter those second-rate generals.

Duncan clearly wasn't lying to him. He not only gave him the protective true qi and innate six senses, but also hundreds of years of cultivation. He could easily master any top-tier technique and didn't need to worry about insufficient true qi at all.

Overlord Spear!
The Three Corpses raised their hands and inhaled, and a long spear fell into their hands. After being infused with fierce energy, the ordinary iron became like a divine weapon, its surface resembling condensed blood-red lightning. They thrust the spear straight at Zhao Kuangyin in front of them, wanting to use the might of a reincarnated overlord to behead him before the enemy could surround them.

clang!
Zhao Kuangyin used the Panlong Staff Technique to parry the spear, and the immense force sent him back more than ten steps. His expression was one of extreme horror. As he raised his spear to parry the aggressive figure, the ground beneath his feet shattered inch by inch. The power of the enemy's attack had forced him to kneel on one knee, leaving a crater several feet in diameter beneath him.

"Cool!"

"Die to me!"

"How could Zhao Kuangyin, with such high martial arts skills, have died in the 'Candle Shadow and Axe Sound' incident?"

"He's a good-for-nothing too."

The Three Corpses unleashed the Mad Dragon Spear Technique, a martial art that Duncan was capable of using most of. But just as he was about to press his advantage, a sharp whistling sound came from the darkness, and several sharp arrows attacked from different directions, infused with true energy, powerful enough to easily penetrate heavy armor.

The Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training Technique.

Indestructible body.

The three corpses' skin instantly turned golden and stone-colored. The arrow pierced through his protective true energy, but only left a shallow scratch on his skin, without even a drop of blood.

"Cool!"

"Can't break through the defense!"

"Watch how I unleash a massacre!"

Seeing that the Three Corpses were immune to arrows even with their protective true qi and indestructible body, they let out a long roar of excitement, grabbed a cart shaft from the side and threw it out. With a loud bang, it smashed the surging enemy soldiers into a bloody pulp.

He had wanted to use this tactic for a long time.

This was a true unparalleled dance, treating thousands of troops as nothing, and moving in and out of the Three Corpses as if they were in an empty land. If Zhao Kuangyin had not been known as the invincible master of the Dragon-Piercing Staff, he would have already beheaded the enemy general and left.

But after a fierce battle, the three corpses gradually realized that something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, the number of enemies increased, including many elite soldiers and generals from the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as some Taoist masters.

"not good!"

"They were prepared."

The Three Corpses exchanged a palm strike with the man from a distance, sending him flying dozens of meters away, spitting out blood. He then unleashed the Chaotic Cloak Staff Technique, stirring up a whirlwind of dust and wind. His expression revealed a hint of resentment as he looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who was now being protected by the crowd. He didn't know whether he should forcefully charge at Zhao Kuangyin, cut off his head, or immediately flee.

Enemies are everywhere.

While it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, it's hard to guard against a hidden arrow. There were skilled archers in the army. San Shi groaned as an arrow struck his back. There were too many enemies, and even his protective inner energy was slowly failing.

"If I were given the Heavenly Demon Immortal Body, I wouldn't be afraid of any number of people."

Relying on his abundant true energy, the Three Corpses unleashed his Great Clumsy Hand with a whooshing sound, like the Tathagata's Palm. Wherever it went, blood and flesh flew everywhere. With his own strength, he stirred up chaos in the central army camp, leaving behind thousands of corpses.

Even if he couldn't kill Zhao Kuangyin, he would still unleash his full power to crush the enemy's morale.

What are you afraid of?

At worst, he'll die and return to Duncan's consciousness, much like Duncan's physical body returning to its dimensional space after death.

Bloodshed erupted within the central military camp.

Zhao Kuangyin was filled with fear. The Three Corpses were chasing him from behind, and he was fleeing in front. He fought and retreated, and with his Grandmaster-level cultivation, he managed to withstand dozens of moves from the Three Corpses using the Panlong Staff Technique in his hand.

"Why is that bastard so hard to kill?"

"Could it be that he has a skull mark? Or is he blessed by destiny?"

The Three Corpses recalled Duncan's pursuit of the Scourge of God. Several times he almost took Zhao Kuangyin's head, but at the crucial moment, either someone risked their life to stop him, or he narrowly escaped, allowing the Scourge to avoid a fatal blow.

This made the Three Corpses wonder if there really was such a thing as destiny and fate.

"Do I have to break his invincible body first?"

The Three Corpses found themselves increasingly unable to advance amidst the chaos of battle, as if mired in quagmire. Charging through thousands of troops was no easy feat, with swords, spears, and clubs coming from all directions, and a hail of arrows tracking their every move. Any pause was immediately followed by a barrage of arrows.

If it weren't for the protective true energy bestowed upon him by Duncan, even an ordinary expert at the Dao Entry Realm would probably have been riddled with arrows by now.

The Three Corpses were essentially clad in heavy armor and possessed an invincible aura, chasing after Zhao Kuangyin amidst a vast army. However, they only had a few dozen breaths to make their move. After failing to take Zhao Kuangyin's head in the first wave of assassinations, they immediately fell into a heavy encirclement.

"God help me too."

"That man actually dared to force his way into the military camp and assassinate Zhao Kuangyin!"

"Fellow Daoists."

"Please lend me a hand."

In the southwest direction of the camp, a man dressed as a Taoist priest was overjoyed. He figured even Fellow Daoist Ling Su hadn't expected the enemy to be so careless, daring to storm the camp alone. If he could kill him this time, he would surely rid the Taoist sect of a great scourge. A series of talismans ignited without wind, and amidst the crackling lightning, a bolt of thunder descended from the sky. The man gathered lightning in his palms and unleashed it.

The Three Corpses fought alone against a thousand troops, but was suddenly struck by lightning, causing his entire body to stiffen for a moment.

In an instant.

A sword light flashed out, aiming straight for the head of the Three Corpses. Several Taoist masters also cast spells, making his figure seem to freeze for a moment.

Fresh blood suddenly appeared.

The protective aura on Sanshi's body was pierced, and he instantly became ferocious. He didn't even care about Zhao Kuangyin who was chasing him. His spear shot out and pierced through several military experts. Then, he struck out with his palm and smashed the Taoist who had ambushed him with a curse into a pulp.

In chaotic battles, kill the mages first, otherwise you won't be able to escape. He learns very quickly.

at the same time.

Above the clouds, Duncan stood silently on the head of the black dragon, looking down at everything happening below.

"His Majesty."

"Should I make a move?" Mo Jiao asked in a low voice.

Duncan slowly shook his head and said, "No need."

"He has three-tenths of my cultivation level; this injury won't kill him."

"Besides."

"There are also experts from the Taoist sect nearby."

There were also experts in Zhao Kuangyin's army camp who had entered the Dao realm. An old man dressed as a Daoist stared at the three corpses in front of him, a strange light appearing in his eyes, as if he were observing aura. His brows were furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Why is this person's fate so strange?"

Louguandao.

One of the early branches of Taoism, specializing in astronomical observation and qi observation. This lineage was formed during the Northern Wei Dynasty and spread to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It had a great influence during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but was severely weakened during the Huang Chao Rebellion.

The art of observing qi in many later novels originated from this branch.

The most typical characteristic of this lineage is its adherence to the Laozi's theory of converting the barbarians, such as the "Laozi Huahu Jing", "Laozi Xisheng Jing", "Laozi Kaitian Jing" and "Miaozhen Jing", all of which are highly valued by this school.

The old Taoist priest in front of him used the Qi Observation Technique to stare at the Three Corpses, but he could not see the dragon aura on his body. Therefore, he hesitated and did not dare to make a move easily.

But if he doesn't make a move now, the Three Corpses will break through the encirclement.

If people are allowed to come and go freely, and thousands of troops are ignored, the morale of one's own army will plummet before even engaging in a decisive battle with the enemy.

啅！
The old Taoist gave a low shout, and in an instant, a streak of light flew out, like a shooting star. His figure treaded the air and rode the wind, his cultivation already extraordinary. The moment he made his move, the Three Corpses seemed to sense something, their expressions changed slightly, and their protective true energy erupted with a wave of energy, repelling the various experts who were besieging him. Their entire bodies turned golden and iron-colored, using their indestructible Vajra Body to deal with the enemy's sneak attack.

"Not even close."

"But that should be enough."

Seeing one of them make a move, Duncan completely ignored the three corpses that were heavily surrounded and instead looked at the other person.

That Taoist's thunder magic was extremely domineering, and it came from the same lineage as Fan Hu Zi, also being the Divine Firmament Thunder Magic.

boom!
Amidst the chaos of battle.

As if enraged, the Three Corpses grabbed a person with his bare hands and tore him in two. His eyes were blood red, and his bloodlust and rage surpassed even that of Duncan himself. Relying on his profound cultivation and abundant true essence, the Three Corpses formed an invisible barrier with his protective true energy to withstand the sword energy, spells, and lightning attacks from all directions. Then, with a lion's roar, he unleashed an explosive shockwave with a diameter of one hundred feet.

At this moment, the Three Corpses was already seriously injured. His long hair danced wildly, and with a stomp of his toes, the ground beneath his feet shattered with a loud bang. His figure shot out like a cannonball, fighting against many masters alone. He even forced the Taoist masters in the distance not to take the hit head-on, and they could only rely on their movement techniques to fight.

Duncan did indeed grant him unparalleled cultivation and strength, allowing him to single-handedly suppress two experts at the Dao Realm while also effortlessly dealing with sneak attacks from all directions.

In a one-on-one fight at the same cultivation level, the Three Corpses are almost invincible, because mortals cannot possibly have hundreds of years of cultivation.

"Why are these Taoist priests so difficult to deal with?"

The Three Corpses were already feeling the pressure. Although he had a protective aura, he couldn't withstand the overwhelming number of enemies. Even the protective aura had to deplete his true essence to block the energy. Now, he had used up about 50-60% of his true essence.

If the fight continues, they might be worn down to death here.

Click.

Just as the three corpses were trying to figure out a way to escape, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky. At this moment, it seemed to have reached a critical point. The space behind them seemed to show cracks, and then the space was like a shattered mirror. In the fragmented reality, a void appeared, and pairs of scarlet, eerie eyes suddenly appeared.

"Extraterrestrial demons?"

"not good!"

"I knew he was plotting against me!" The Three Corpses' expression changed drastically, and he cursed loudly.

Countless demonic shadows roared out.

In an instant!
The sky and the earth change color.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder rumbled in the sky, and the bright moon turned blood red in an instant. A true bloodbath enveloped the entire Jiangbei camp, and the torrential rain that fell amidst the churning dark clouds also turned blood red.

Demons descended upon the world.

Heaven and earth grieved, and ghosts and gods wailed.

The Three Corpses were originally the manifestation of inner demons. He was like a shining beacon, a giant light bulb, attracting countless extraterrestrial demons. From the void rifts that appeared behind him, hundreds and thousands of extraterrestrial demon phantoms descended and surged out madly, as if demons had descended upon the world.

This scene not only caused the three corpses to change color drastically, but also filled the others nearby with fear.

A phantom of an extraterrestrial demon rushed into the body of one of the men in front of him. In an instant, the man's murderous aura surged, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and his eyes turned blood red.

——The Lost Soul (Possessed by Demons) (Possessed by a Heavenly Demon) (Four-Star Silver Gray to Six-Star Silver Gray).

When extraterrestrial demons possess ordinary soldiers, their strength is generally around four or five stars. However, if they possess a Taoist master, their strength instantly approaches six stars.

There were even extraterrestrial demons who tried to possess experts at the Dao Realm, but they were directly repelled by the opponent's primordial spirit.

Some of them succeed in possessing another body, while others fail. If they fail, they immediately abandon the possession and seek another physical body.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, many soldiers and generals practiced cannibalism. Many of the Song soldiers under Zhao Kuangyin had eaten human flesh.

The countless demonic shadows that surged forth at that moment seemed to be able to discern people's hearts. After entering the bodies of those ferocious soldiers, they instantly possessed them. Then, they brandished their weapons and slaughtered indiscriminately, without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Even the figures of the dying warriors twisted, resembling the demonic elders of the Jiaochi of Dangshan. Their bones and muscles converged at an incredible angle, neither human nor ghost, like ghouls, and pounced on the person next to them, biting their throat and drinking their blood.

The entire military camp in Jiangbei was instantly thrown into chaos!
Thousands of phantom images of extraterrestrial demons possessed the surrounding soldiers and generals, and even the Taoist masters were not spared, their faces filled with bloodlust and madness.

"So this is what it means for the Demon King to descend to earth!" Duncan sighed softly.

It's fortunate that he chose to test it here; if it had been done elsewhere, who knows how many people would have died.

With a single palm strike, the three corpses killed the seemingly crazed demon in front of them. The phantom of the extraterrestrial demon reappeared, resembling an invisible black mist, and quickly entered another person's body. That person howled madly, his mind went insane, and soon his eyes also turned blood red.

Since the Three Corpses lack true laws of slaughter, slaying the extraterrestrial demons is not so easy.

boom.

The earth shook.

The three corpses were suddenly horrified, their figures shooting out like cannonballs. At their location, huge palm prints, each about three zhang in diameter, suddenly appeared on the ground. Then, all the nearby Northern Song soldiers were lifted into the air, as if they were grabbed by invisible giant hands.

Click.

Whether they were fierce generals or Taoist masters, they were all crushed into a mass of minced meat out of thin air. Countless drops of blood gathered and surged in mid-air. Finally, the essence of blood condensed into an invisible outline in reality, as if recreating a physical body. First, bones appeared, then flesh and blood, and finally a phantom of a demon god with three human faces, a huge body, and six arms appeared.

His dark brown skin was covered with countless inscriptions. Because he had been forcibly brought into reality, his physical skin seemed unable to withstand his primordial spirit, and cracks appeared on his skin. The blood beneath his skin was like flowing magma.

A three-headed, six-armed demon god from beyond the realm.

This colossal creature formed its physical body from the essence and blood of the battlefield. Its figure was over ten feet tall, and six enormous arms descended from the sky, instantly crushing hundreds of people into pieces on the ground. With a single gulp, it swallowed their essence, blood, and souls.

boom!
The earth cracks.

Amidst the horrified gazes of countless people, the cracks in the earth continued to spread, extending thousands of feet away. Incredibly hot air surged from the ground, and streams of magma gushed out wildly from underground.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Fragmentation of the laws of reality detected! Extraordinary divine power that distorts reality detected!"

"An extraterrestrial demon god has descended."

"The laws of reality have been altered! An anomaly has occurred in the current area! The spellcasting systems of ghosts, gods, incantations, and Taoist magic have been greatly enhanced!"

"The current plane has entered a mythological mutation state!"

The three corpses were cursing and swearing, but they ran faster than anyone else, their mouths only uttering two words: "Boss, help!"
