Chapter 882: Corpse

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Losing one’s physical body was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of breaking through. Without the circulation of energy in one’s physical body, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate.

If it wasn’t for their bodies being destroyed, those soul-form experts wouldn’t have chosen to walk that path either.

“Stripping off the body and leaving only the primordial spirit… This is like a threshold left behind for experts who cultivate the soul.”

But in fact, many soul path experts would create puppet bodies.

Thousands of years ago, there had been a quasi-emperor puppet involved in the conspiracy.

Such a puppet was not something that a great perfection-stage God Venerable could fight against as it bore the will of a quasi-emperor.

The quasi-emperor’s puppet was ultimately destroyed by a decree in the battle.

The decree was the incomplete technique learned by the many chaotic demon kings, which they then used to summon the Blood Spirit God’s clone previously.

It was said that once one’s name was erased by this decree, the original body would also die.

Therefore, a quasi-emperor died in that battle.

Qin Chen silently turned his head and stopped thinking about these things.

If the quasi-emperor’s puppet was still in the space cracks, he might be able to get it.

But now, he had to first cross the Heaven-leading River, which he was currently clueless about.

Could it be that only quasi-emperor-realm experts had a chance to cross it?

At the same time, it was almost impossible to go around the river since Qin Chen and the others did not have much time.

Looking at the water of the Heaven-leading River flowing slowly, Qin Chen’s mind was drawn into the water.

In that state, Qin Chen suddenly realized something.

He seemed to have left his physical body! His consciousness was even sinking, just like the spiritual boat from before.

This made him feel a sense of horror.

He was on the shore and did not enter the Heaven-leading River. How could such a thing happen?

Unfortunately, reality did not allow him to continue thinking.

If he waited, he might never wake up again.

“What is the Elder King doing?” The true dragon was surprised because the Elder King had been in his current position for a while.

“Could it be that he’s lost in thought?”

The big scorpion didn’t dare to go over and disturb him. If the Elder King was comprehending again, he wouldn’t be able to comprehend it again if he was interrupted.

“I hope so.”

No one dared to approach. This was the Elder King’s order.

“Damn it!” Qin Chen couldn’t shake off this strange feeling no matter what.

His consciousness kept sinking, and it might not be long before it dissipated. This was even more terrifying than death.

“What’s going on?”

A weak voice suddenly sounded in his ear. It seemed to be transmitted from a boundless distance.

Qin Chen focused on the weak voice for a long time before he finally identified the word “help”.

It seemed that someone was asking for help, but he didn’t have the time to care about others because he couldn’t hold on any longer either.

He was already in a situation where he was hardly able to save himself, let alone others. He didn’t even know if he could survive.

Qin Chen didn’t know how much time had passed, but the voice he heard became clearer and clearer. “The Xuanjian Sect… Save me…”

What the hell was going on?

Qin Chen was about to go crazy. He decided to just go with the flow and let his consciousness gradually sink.

Then, he seemed to see light in the water.

It wasn’t an illusion. It was a corpse shining with golden light.

To think a corpse had appeared in the Heaven-leading River and was preserved very well.

It was unimaginable what kind of existence the corpse was..
