Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 443 - 442: [Corpse Divine Scripture]!

Under the illumination of these lamps, heart demons and distractions will not arise; this is among the world’s most outstanding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It seems that the elder demon Mu relied on this item to suppress his heart demons and distractions, which gave him the confidence to transform here.

"Since Fellow Daoist Gu is interested, this item is useless to me, so you can keep it."

Walking towards the ancient coffin, Zhong Tian heard Gu Yuan’s mumbling and waved his hand, collecting all four stone lamps before tossing them to Gu Yuan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Gu Yuan was not courteous, grinning as he collected all four stone lamps.

Not to mention the merfolk oil inside, just these four stone lamps themselves are good items, each has the potential to be refined into a Magical Treasure.

However, this is what he deserved; Zhong Tian mentioned earlier that he didn’t want any of these things, they all belonged to Gu Yuan.

As long as Gu Yuan assists him at crucial moments, that’s enough.

Not far behind, the few old men, especially Old Man Hu, watched greedily, with his beard quivering, and his eyes constantly glancing at Gu Yuan’s waist storage pouch, almost glaring his eyes out.

The merfolk oil from earlier might not be of great use to others, but to him, it’s very crucial!

With this item, the chance of him breaking through to a Golden Core Great Cultivator could definitely increase by thirty to forty percent!

It’s just that now these things have ended up with Gu Yuan, so getting them isn’t easy.

As for snatching them...

Even if he had the heart and courage of a demon bear or a demon leopard, he would never dare to do such a thing.

Even if he had the courage, he doesn’t have the fate to enjoy this fortune.

"Forget it, later I’ll speak with Fellow Daoist Gu; after all, he has four, giving Old Man one should be possible? After all, I can buy it with Spirit Stones or exchange it for other things..."

Old Man Hu thought silently.

Gu Yuan and Zhong Tian were completely unaware of Old Man Hu’s internal conflict; at this moment, Zhong Tian had arrived at the front of the ancient bronze coffin.

He lifted his arm and placed a palm on the coffin lid.

A rumble echoed—

As the heavy bronze coffin lid was gradually pushed open, it emitted a muffled sound.

Just as it opened halfway, a black light burst forth from inside the coffin, impacting Zhong Tian’s chest.

Bam!

With a dull thud, Zhong Tian’s entire body flew horizontally, soaring far into the distance before finally coming to a stop.

His chest had been ripped open with a fist-sized wound, from which corpse water and corpse blood flowed out.

Observing the wound’s shape, it was clearly from a punch.

As Zhong Tian was struck away, Gu Yuan responded swiftly, moving like a shadow, arriving at the bronze ancient coffin.

At that precise moment, the coffin lid was struck by immense power and flung away, while a figure jumped out from inside.

This figure was even more towering than Zhong Tian, shrouded in a lingering fierce demonic aura, almost ready to soar into the skies.

The person’s face appeared somewhat old, their expressions vacant, their eyes carrying a cold dullness, tinged with a hint of bloodlust and brutality.

"Seems like he’s not in a clear status; could this be a failed transformation?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, a thought flashed in Gu Yuan’s mind, yet outwardly, he reacted promptly.

The Black Dragon Halberd in his hand swept out directly, slicing the air and leaving long trails of dark light!

Sensing Gu Yuan’s overflowing vital energy, the elder demon Mu also instantly retaliated.

Both his palms reached out towards Gu Yuan.

Bang!!!

Yet, before the elder demon Mu could touch Gu Yuan, the Black Dragon Halberd had already landed on his body.

With a teeth-gritting thud, the elder demon Mu’s body flew horizontally, with a menacing wound torn open in his abdomen.

But instead of fresh red blood, the wound oozed black-red corpse blood!

It was not only viscous but also emitted a putrid stench, making one feel nauseated.

This indicated that the elder demon Mu was clearly no longer alive, resembling more a zombie or an evil corpse!

Judging by his appearance, he was clearly not conscious, lacking independent awareness, acting primarily on his demonic volatile vicious instincts.

Gu Yuan shadowed closely, and before the elder demon Mu fell, he struck again at the neck.

This strike, precise and ruthless, decapitated the elder demon Mu directly.

Corpse blood splattered as the head and body separated.

Roar—!!!

Yet even this wasn’t enough; incredibly, the severed head let out a howl, spewing vast amounts of black demonic aura from the wound, aiming to reconnect with the headless body and restore its form.

But naturally, Gu Yuan wouldn’t just watch this happen with open eyes.

He immediately swung the Black Dragon Halberd again, smashing the elder demon Mu’s head directly.

The headless body convulsed briefly, attempting to stir, but was suppressed in time by Zhong Tian’s arrival, who pierced its abdomen dantian with a hand like a sharp sword.

Then, he actually extracted a dark gold corpse pill from within.

This corpse pill, once extracted, was untouched by any blood, even releasing a luminous glow, vibrating slightly, attempting to escape.

Yet, since the item had fallen into Zhong Tian’s hands, how could Zhong Tian allow it to leave?

In his hands, a yellowish corpse fire suddenly ignited, enveloping the corpse pill, and began burning it.

"Ah...Fellow Daoist Wang, stop! Quickly stop..."

"As long as Fellow Daoist spares my life, I’ll teach you the Corpse-Driving Sect’s ’Corpse Gospel’..."

A faintly chilling voice emitted from within the corpse pill, pleading for mercy,

The words also revealed that the elder demon Mu knew the supreme classic of the Corpse-Driving Sect, the ’Corpse Gospel.’

However, Zhong Tian showed no reaction, quietly refining the corpse pill.

On the other hand, Old Man Hu, who avoided from afar, slightly shifted in expression upon hearing "Corpse-Driving Sect" and ’Corpse Gospel,’ as if he remembered something.

Not long after, the elder demon Mu’s voice weakened and ceased.

When Zhong Tian withdrew the corpse fire, only a dark gold corpse pill remained in his hand, smaller in size than before, but the quality was evidently purer.

"Seems the elder demon Mu ultimately failed in his transformation."

Gu Yuan approached slowly, gazing at the motionless headless body on the ground, and after a moment concluded.

Zhong Tian’s expression remained stiff and lifeless, responding in a hoarse and deep voice: "Immortal life is not so easily attained."

"Even alternative longevity requires considerable cost, and carries significant risks."

"Indeed, if the elder demon Mu had achieved the Yang Spirit, there might’ve been some chance of success. But as for the Yin Spirit Realm, it’s likely less sufficient..."

Gu Yuan sighed lightly, lamenting not just for the elder demon Mu, but for the world’s Path of Longevity.

Long life is hard, becoming immortal is harder, harder than ascending to the heavens!
