Lord of All Realms Chapter 1162: The Strongest Heavenly Corpse?

Glorious auras shot skywards like countless colorful arrows.
Each and every one of them carried intense corpse power and unique flesh power.
CRACK! CRACK!
The sparkling, colorful diamonds within the outsider grand monarchs’ flesh aura seas suddenly shattered.
As this happened, the handful of tenth grade outsider grand monarchs seemed to have their bloodlines twisted by force!
One after another, they fixed their eyes on Qu Yi.
Qu Yi’s expression flickered slightly.
As the howls coming from the depths of the earth grew increasingly deafening, the solid earth at the heart of the Shatter Battlefield split open.
HOWL!
A head that was almost as large as the Realm of Flame Heaven slowly emerged from underneath the shattered ground. It rose as the shattered land fell towards the heart of the earth.
Floating high in the sky, Nie Tian gazed down, and found it rising like a planet.
“Is this the Star Behemoth’s head?!” He examined it with rapt attention, and found a vast area in the middle, where countless evil spirits were swarming like a deep lake.
From the look of it, that was the place where its head had been pierced, and was now filled with evil spirits.
Like spectral wisps, the evil spirits seemed to have woven into a net that was helping it regather its discarnate soul that had scattered into heaven and earth.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
Ji Yuanquan and Ye Wenhan flew out of the spatial rift.
Stopping on his left and right, they raised their guard, in case anything should threaten his life.
His master, Wu Ji, didn’t come with them.
SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!
More and more strange blood-colored patterns formed inside the Star Behemoth bone that was floating before Nie Tian.
He could actually see the bone growing.
Then, he reached out and touched the bone. To his surprise, he received intermittent vague messages.
He couldn’t help but examine it with rapt attention.
“That Star Behemoth didn’t truly perish. Star Behemoths are blessed with unique bloodline talents that carry profound, ancient wonders.
“Therefore, even if their souls are destroyed, their discarnate soul won’t just disappear into heaven and earth.
“Their mysterious habitats in the depths of the starry river will receive and keep their scattered souls.
“Through some special rituals, their discarnate souls can be regathered. Infused with a copious amount of flesh power, their dead bodies can regain mobility, their heart can start beating again, and Bloodline Crystal Chains can be regenerated in their hearts.
“These most ancient life forms in this starry river have so many mysteries...”
Nie Tian decrypted the vague messages bit by bit.
He finally come to a fairly deep understanding of these true overlords of the starry river during the Primal Era.
WHOOSH!
A new piece of information that seemed more complicated came from the bone.
Nie Tian decrypted it with rapt attention.
Moments later, his expression flickered, as the piece of information revealed a shocking secret.
“Senior Qu!” He exclaimed, immediately attracting the attention of Qu Yi, Ji Yuanquan, and Ye Wenhan.
All three God domain experts fixed him with puzzled looks.
Nie Tian took a deep breath and said aloud, “Someone is trying to turn this Star Behemoth into a Heavenly Corpse! A one of a kind Heavenly Corpse whose power is hardly matched throughout this starry river, and can cause huge trouble to Ancientspirits and outsider grand monarchs!
“However, now that it has regathered part of its discarnate soul, it has regained a bit of its self-awareness. It has expressed that this isn’t what it wants.”
Qu Yi was astonished. “Can, can you communicate with it?”
“I can’t.” Nie Tian shook his head, pointing at the bone. “But it can.”
“The Heavenly Corpse Sect!” Ji Yuanquan and Ye Wenhan exclaimed at the same time.
Throughout the human and outsider domains, the Heavenly Corpse Sect was the only force that could refine corpses into Heavenly Corpses.
Therefore, as soon as they heard ‘Heavenly Corpse’, the first thought that came to mind was the Heavenly Corpse Sect, which had vanished for ages.
Nie Tian shared the same suspicion.
“Is it really Feng Beiluo that’s behind this?” He thought to himself.
Qu Yi’s expression flickered as well. “Turning a dead Star Behemoth into a Heavenly Corpse? I can’t believe that the Heavenly Corpse Sect is actually so daring. However, I don’t think the current sectmaster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect is strong enough to do such a crazy thing. Unless...”
“Unless what?” Ye Wenhan asked.
Even Qu Yi himself was scared by the thought. “Unless the founder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect is still alive! But he died so long ago. Come to think of it, he actually had this crazy dream of finding a dead Star Behemoth and turning it into a Heavenly Corpse when he was alive.
“However, he was annihilated before he could find one. I doubt that the current sectmaster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect has entered the God domain.”
Hearing this, Nie Tian jumped in. “Are you talking about Feng Beiluo? He has probably entered the God domain by now.”
Qu Yi was taken aback. “What?! Have you met him? And where?”
“Well, I have, and he should be at the God domain now,” Nie Tian answered vaguely.
“If that’s the case, then this makes sense,” Qu Yi said, while pondering the matter. “Then what about those Stone Golems? Do they have something to do with the Heavenly Corpse Sect too?”
“Those dead Stone Golems were also part of the sacrifice,” Nie Tian answered.
Flabbergasted, Ji Yuanquan said, “There were nine Stone Golems. Eight of them are dead... So are you saying that they were also sacrificial offerings that were used to awaken the Star Behemoth? What about the tenth grade Stone Golem grand monarch? Don’t tell me that...”
Nie Tian nodded. “He was also part of the sacrifice. If there are no mishaps, it won’t be long before he’s refined by the Star Behemoth and truly becomes a part of it. So that Stone Golem isn’t the one behind this. It’s someone else.”
“Did it tell you all this?” Qu Yi asked with a stern face.
Nie Tian touched the bone before him and nodded slightly. “The person behind this hasn’t gained full control of this Star Behemoth. That’s why it has a residual soul awareness, and was able to communicate with this bone of mine through their unique bloodline talent.”
“Where is this person?” Qu Yi asked in a grim voice.
“Not here in the Shatter Battlefield,” Nie Tian answered. “But even the Star Behemoth can’t locate that person by just relying on its residual soul awareness. However, that person’s sub-soul is manipulating the Star Behemoth’s reviving soul. I can give it a shot.”
SHEW!
With these words, Nie Tian cast the bone out with great force.
Like a falling star, it shot into the part of the Star Behemoth’s head where evil spirits were swarming.
“Sub-soul?” Qu Yi said with a cold smile. “As long as that person’s sub-soul carries an independent will, I have every reason to believe that I can ferret that person out!”
With these words, he also cast his Void Mirror towards the revealed part of the Star Behemoth’s head that was as large as a continent.
As he did, his soul shadows flew out of it one after another, blending into the sea of evil spirits as if to search for something.
