Urban Martial Saint

Third Master Wan Yan’s words made the avatar of Corpse Ghost Dragon somewhat at ease. It was indeed the truth: as long as he merged with his true form and regained its strength, not only would he surpass Shen Qianyue, but he wouldn’t need to worry about the Yan Family either, as none of them would be his match.

”Since that’s the case, you can keep this person!” Corpse Ghost Dragon’s avatar walked straight to the cobbled-together body, slightly furrowing his brows at the incomplete corpse. Although most of the body was there, making it feasible to restore his true form, the body’s damage would inconvenience him.

However, he said nothing, standing beside the corpse, muttering softly to himself. As he murmured, the coagulated blood on the corpse began to flow, akin to a melting iceberg. Although he had been dead for a day and night, the blood remained unspoiled, flowing freshly. Most strikingly, his almost exposed heart started to beat slowly.

Prince Wan Yan watched this unfold in shock, having been briefed by Third Master Wan Yan that these bodies weren’t completely dead. Yet, witnessing it himself, he was astounded.

In truth, not only him, but also Third Master Wan Yan was equally amazed, seeing such an occurrence for the first time. The Indestructible Demon Body hadn’t been cultivated in many years!

As he saw the blood flow, the avatar immediately moved close and merged directly into the cobbled-together body. While entering, he glanced at Third Master Wan Yan, saying, ”It’s up to you next.”

The avatar of Corpse Ghost Dragon could make the corpse’s blood flow again, but he hadn’t yet cultivated to the peak of Undying and Indestructible, unable to grow the body together. However, Third Master Wan Yan could employ the Infinite Demon Technique from the Demon Sect to fuse it with his current Indestructible Demon Body, allowing the fragmented body to regrow. This was the remarkable power of the Infinite Demon Technique.

The Great Demon King was undoubtedly the world’s greatest talent, comparable to a creator of a sect, requiring joint efforts from Buddhist and Taoist sects to defeat him, highlighting his immense power. His Demon Gate Secret Techniques were undeniably strange but quite miraculous. The Infinite Demon Technique is one such marvel. Infinite signifies boundless, unrestricted. While it possesses no inherent strength, it can enhance other powers by an unlimited degree, depending on the cultivation stage of the Infinite Demon Technique crafted by the Great Demon King, which knows no boundaries, making it capable of limitless enhancement.

Of course, despite its name, there are conditions: firstly, the body must withstand the power. Even Ye Qing can bear acme-level power, but surpassing it would lead to bodily explosion. His use of Buddha’s Relic without such a demise was due entirely to the Devouring Demon Flower, not an indication of his ability to handle such force. The Infinite Demon Technique is similar, as the human body is humanity’s greatest limitation. Yet, human potential is inexhaustible, and if fully tapped, the result is unimaginable.

Third Master Wan Yan approached the assembled corpse, slowly activating the Infinite Demon Technique, suddenly striking the pieces with his hands to imbue them with the power. While the Infinite Demon Technique could not directly regenerate the corpse, its enhancement of the Indestructible Demon Body tremendously strengthens its power. Though unable to achieve the Undying and Indestructible stage, it can increase the strength several-fold, enabling the body to regrow.

The avatar patiently awaited, and as the Infinite Demon Technique’s power infused, he activated the Indestructible Demon Body’s power. With this activation, he sensed an unparalleled sensation, understanding each cell of his body without opening his eyes — a unique experience leaving him momentarily dazed.

”Grand Master, activate the Indestructible Demon Body and regrow the body quickly!” Third Master Wan Yan shouted in urging, noticing the avatar’s inaction.

This shout awoke the avatar, realizing his task, then quickly focused, elevating the Indestructible Demon Body to its pinnacle. As the power surged, he could not only witness cellular movement but control the division and growth, allowing the shattered body to reconstruct. A wondrous feeling, briefly attainable with the enhanced Indestructible Demon Body, revealing a vitality to his lifespan previously elusive.

This sensation shook Corpse Ghost Dragon internally, recognizing it as the longevity-extending sensation he’d sought, confirming the Indestructible Demon Body at its highest could indeed prolong life. Yet, given his circumstances and talent, such a breakthrough would require a miraculous event.

Without hesitation, Corpse Ghost Dragon drove his entire cellular growth to merge fully with his form. Despite the temptation of such a realm, he understood that, without reaching it, survival and entry into the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates would provide that longevity opportunity.

Undeniably, the Indestructible Demon Body’s strength was formidable. In little time, Corpse Ghost Dragon’s fragmented form fused entirely, with wounds healing visibly — a truly magical sight.

After approximately half an hour, Corpse Ghost Dragon ceased cultivation, his form fully integrating. Apart from missing parts not recovered, the rest appeared normal, without scars visible to the naked eye.

Surrounding onlookers gaped at the spectacle, watching Corpse Ghost Dragon rise, sharing mutual shock evident in their eyes. Even Third Master Wan Yan, witnessing the assembled body transform into Corpse Ghost Dragon’s true self, was astounded.

”Hahaha…” An eerie, sinister laughter echoed as Corpse Ghost Dragon slowly rose. The avatar now wholly merged, eliminating any notion of separation; he had become Corpse Ghost Dragon himself once again!

Corpse Ghost Dragon did not die; he ultimately resurrected through his avatar!

”Ye Qing, Shijia, Wuhua Monk, Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, and those Peak Masters of Shenchuan City, to your disappointment, hahaha…” Corpse Ghost Dragon laughed boisterously: ”Soon, I’ll personally return to Shenchuan City. To avenge my wrongful death, I’ll annihilate your clans, hahaha…”

Corpse Ghost Dragon appeared grotesque, resembling a ghost due to his damaged body — a chilling sight unsettling those who beheld him.

Nearby, Shen Qianyue awoke, saved by Third Master Wan Yan, with his life intact, yet ninety-nine percent of his power vanished. The departing avatar of Corpse Ghost Dragon had drained almost all his energy. Now Shen Qianyue was nearly powerless.

Seeing Corpse Ghost Dragon rise again, Shen Qianyue was greatly shocked, albeit devoid of earlier fervor, filled only with terror. Understanding the avatar used him merely as a tool and not as a disciple, bearing the brunt of their exchange, he feared what would follow.

”Congratulations, Grand Master!” Third Master Wan Yan exclaimed, ”The fusion is flawless. Your avatar is wholly integrated into your true form — you’ve been reborn!”

”Hmph, I don’t need you to say that.” Corpse Ghost Dragon no longer regarded Third Master Wan Yan, promptly approaching Shen Qianyue, who trembled in fear. Coldly, Corpse Ghost Dragon stated, ”Shen Qianyue, you villainous disciple. For daring to insult me earlier, I’ll now reveal the master’s fury!”

With that, Corpse Ghost Dragon grasped Shen Qianyue’s shoulder, tearing his left arm off with ease.

”Ah!” Shen Qianyue screamed helplessly, devoid of strength to resist.

Corpse Ghost Dragon matched Shen Qianyue’s severed arm to his own half-arm, cutting a segment to attach.

”Wan Yan, assist me,” Corpse Ghost Dragon commanded, wholly authoritative. It appeared he sought to join Shen Qianyue’s arm to his own using the Indestructible Demon Body’s power, restoring his body from disability.

Though discontented, Third Master Wan Yan complied, enhancing the Indestructible Demon Body’s power with the Infinite Demon Technique. Familiar with the technique, Corpse Ghost Dragon swiftly reattached the segment, and his arm returned to normal.

With Corpse Ghost Dragon’s arm restored, Shen Qianyue lay disabled, bleeding profusely while screaming in agony: ”Corpse Ghost Dragon, you… you won’t die in peace. Even as a ghost, I’ll haunt you forever…”
