I played the world alone

Chapter 395 Inside the Corpse ([-]-in-[-])

corpse...

Lu Chen asked in confusion: "What kind of corpse?"

Ping Xuan recalled it carefully: "The corpse looks similar to us in appearance, with a head, face, hands and feet."

"But the strange thing is that his size is more than ten times larger than our normal people! When he is lying on the seabed, he looks like a hill from a distance!"

"The people who went with us quickly discovered this unusual corpse. After careful observation, we found that its heart was almost completely shrouded in evil energy. We speculated whether this corpse might be the source of the evil energy."

"It's just that none of us who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years know the origin of this corpse, and no one has ever seen it."

"But what's even more terrifying is that even though we don't know how long the corpse has been dead, the lingering power on the corpse still makes us tremble even if we just look at it from a distance."

"That feeling... is as if we met an ancestor of Nascent Soul when we were still in the foundation building stage, even worse! To this day, I still can't forget that feeling of being like an ant in front of him. The feeling of insignificance and weakness..."

"We have been studying and observing for a long time, but no one knows what kind of strength this corpse had during his lifetime, why he died here, and why the evil energy spread from his body."

"But there is no doubt that the only way we could think of to deal with the evil spirit at that time was to destroy the body!"

Lu Chen listened carefully and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

It can make those in the Nascent Soul stage tremble. The strength of that corpse must be at least above the God Transformation stage!Maybe even higher!

So could it be that he is actually the original master of this world?

The other party may have unfortunately died in the process of fighting against evil, and then died here.

But you still have to see it in person to find out.

Immediately the other party continued: "But it is not easy to destroy such a terrifying corpse."

"One of the ways we came up with after discussing it at that time was to gather everyone's strength and strengthen it through various formations, and try to completely eliminate it with one blow! To avoid any troublesome changes in the middle."

"The preparation process was indeed very smooth. We spent about a month there to finally get it ready, and finally began to gather the strength of everyone to launch a blow that would destroy the world..."

However, his words paused, a self-deprecating smile appeared, and he shook his head helplessly.

"No one knew at that time that the most powerful attack we were so proud of didn't even break the body's defense! We didn't even know if it triggered the opponent's automatic defense mechanism and directly attacked with double strength. Return it all to us!”

Lu Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Will a dead body automatically defend itself?This gave him a memory. If he saw any strange corpses in the future, it would be better not to test them randomly.

Ping Xuan also saw his surprise and sighed: "This was originally our strongest blow, but the opponent returned it to us with double strength. You can imagine how dangerous it would be at that time."

"For example, I am not that strong but am a junior in the early stage of the Yuanying. Those old monsters in the late stage of the Yuanying or even the peak of the Yuanying were directly shaken by the counterattack and their souls were destroyed and fell on the spot!"

"Although I escaped by chance, I was also seriously injured and almost died there. I have been recovering from my injuries since I came back until now..."

"Fellow Taoist, you also know what happened next. If it weren't for this thousand-year-old elixir, I might really have given up this last bit of hope."

The other party's fingers slowly rubbed the cover of the jade box, and he spoke with great emotion.

"You're welcome, but I have one last question." Lu Chen stared at the other person, "I want to know the specific location of the body."

The other party's expression suddenly changed and he repeatedly tried to dissuade him.

"Fellow Taoist, please don't be impulsive or plan to take a look out of so-called curiosity! That corpse is really too dangerous!"

"You don't need to worry about this. I will never do anything that will endanger your life. After all, I still have to provide you with elixir." He smiled, relaxing the atmosphere.

Ping Xuan tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing that his mind was already made up, he didn't force him.

I can only warn you as many times as possible: "Be extremely careful..."

……

After getting the accurate address, Lu Chen promised to come back to deliver the thousand-year elixir as soon as he got it. At the same time, he also told the other party to spread the news as much as possible to save more people.

After discussing the matter, he quickly flew towards that location.

The distance was very far, and even at his current speed, it took him almost a day and a night to finally reach the top of the ocean.

When you look down at this time, you can clearly feel that this area of ​​the ocean is a little different from other places.

If other places are blue, then here there is some dark blue and even some blackness. There is not even a bit of wind and waves, and it is as calm as a mirror.

Looking further down, you can see a bottomless, pitch-black place below, as if a terrifying beast is lurking in it, waiting for an opportunity to move.

If someone with a deep sea phobia were here, this scene would be a nightmare that he would never forget.

As an immortal cultivator, Lu Chen naturally felt more than what his eyes could see.

Close your eyes and look down with your consciousness. After passing through a piece of sea water, you will clearly feel an invisible pressure coming towards you as you go down.

The pressure becomes stronger as it goes down, and it even feels vaguely like being stung.

It took almost no thought to know that there must be something very scary down there.

Eighty percent of what Ping Xuan said has been confirmed.

Not in a hurry to go down immediately, he first opened the system panel to see the current exploration progress.

We are almost at the end, probably over 90%.

"It seems that this should be the end of the journey."

It is probably equivalent to that wonderful mountain peak in the small world of Doomsday.

After thinking that this world was a three-star difficulty level that would not really kill him, Lu Chen thought about it and finally decided to go and have a look.

With the help of water-bending spells, he could swim faster than a fish, and he didn't need to worry about the pressure of the surrounding water pressure. He quickly reached the bottom of the sea.

Suddenly, his flying movements paused, and he looked at the behemoth below in shock.What Ping Xuan said was completely without water, and even felt a bit conservative!
The corpse in front of me is almost straddling the bottom of the trench on the seabed. It is really like a big mountain filling the valley, fitting perfectly!
This made him even have to fly a little higher to see the whole body from a bird's eye view.

The overall appearance is that of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, wearing a very rough-looking cloth, but it has been enlarged countless times.

And if you look closely, there are no signs of marine life adhering to or decaying on it. It can even be said that the area of ​​several kilometers around here seems to be a restricted area for organisms, and no fish dares to swim in here.

Although he has been dead for many years, the lingering power on his body is still there, making Lu Chen feel a huge pressure on his body. Even the flow of spiritual power on his body is not as smooth as before. His skin, flesh and bones feel a slight tightening. He must Be careful so you don't get hurt.

After staying there for a while to make sure there was no danger, he slowly approached and began to take a closer look.

Soon, he found the point where the evil energy that Ping Xuan mentioned before was found on his chest.

I saw a huge wound there, as if it had been scratched by some sharp weapon, but no blood flowed out. Instead, there were clouds of black air that were constantly shrouding and circling, as thick as liquid, constantly trying to escape from the wound. flow outside.

However, the wounds seemed to have an invisible film that locked them tightly inside. Only a trace of black energy managed to escape and spread to the outside world.

Lu Chen observed carefully for a while and suddenly realized a problem.

"This corpse doesn't seem like the source of evil spirits. Instead, it seems like he is using his own body to suppress these evil spirits and prevent them from flowing out at will?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

This makes it more likely that this corpse is the owner of this world.

In order to protect the world he created, he even sacrificed himself even to the last corpse, squeezing out the last bit of use value.

It's just sad that the local Nascent Soul monks didn't understand his good intentions, and instead tried to gather strength to destroy his body!
Lu Chen was a little scared when he thought about it.

If those bold and ignorant Nascent Soul Stage people had really succeeded, the world would have been completely destroyed.

In this way, the corpse's automatic defense may just be executing the master's last order before death and protecting the world in its own way.

This conjecture is indeed explained, so the next problem will be much simpler. Find the real source of the evil here and block it.

After searching around, I finally focused on the huge wound in the heart.

Flying above and looking down, even this wound seemed to him like a cave that could accommodate one person in and out. And for him in the current Nascent Soul state, he could naturally enter and exit freely.

Prepared to escape at any moment, he began to slowly enter it.

The moment he entered, the black air around him started boiling violently like water splashed into a pan. It rushed toward him crazily, trying to devour him completely like a pack of hungry wolves hunting for food. !
Lu Chen was prepared. With a wave of his hand, the spiritual energy attached to his body. Those evil spirits could not get close to him at all. Instead, they were extinguished like fire touching water. They surrounded him but did not dare to get close.

Feeling relieved, Lu Chen continued to explore inside.

There was a straight path inside the wound, and it quickly reached the heart.

But the strange thing is that where the heart is clearly located, there is no heart or other blood vessels, internal organs, etc. that should be there. There is only nothingness and emptiness.

It's like entering a huge independent space isolated from the outside world!
"here……"

Lu Chen looked around, his brows gradually tightening.

"Why is this body empty inside?"

From the outside, he looks like a human being of flesh and blood. Even his pale face and closed pupils before death are lifelike, and there is no false feeling at all!
However, there is nothing inside.
"Could it be eaten away by some strange creature?"

For example, those evil spirits?

This speculation was denied by himself as soon as he raised it.

"It's unlikely. If it was really chewed by something, it wouldn't be so clean that the body inside would be as smooth and clean as a finely carved handicraft, with no blood stains remaining at all."

It is impossible for these evil spirits to have such high intelligence. From the contact just now, it seems that they are more like pure malice with only the instinct of pollution. At most, they only attach to others to cause destruction without having the various desires similar to living things.

What's more, as Ping Xuan said before, the defense of this corpse is terrifyingly high. Even those who fought desperately in the Nascent Soul stage were severely counterattacked. There is no reason why the internal body should be so fragile.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly had an astonishing and even terrifying guess.

"Is this actually a puppet?"

A well-hidden puppet specially designed to suppress these evil spirits!
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized.

No wonder this thing always felt strangely familiar before.

After all, he can be regarded as a professional puppeteer. He currently owns three puppets in total, and he has also possessed two dead people, so he can be regarded as rich in experience.

Although many of the processes are completed by the system, the principles are the same, and he can tell the specific details at a glance.

Sure enough, if you look at this body the same way you look at a puppet, you can really find many small details that you didn't notice just now.

For example, there are many strange light spots flickering slightly on many inner walls. I was wondering what they were before, but now I think about it, this may be a very mysterious formation used to suppress these evil spirits.

But really speaking, the manufacturing methods of this puppet are inferior to those of the system.

After all, what the system publishes is the body of a serious living person, and even Lu Chen himself may not be able to tell the difference.

But right now this is just an empty sentence, it just looks like it.

"But just making a puppet has the strength to become a god. So how strong should this master be?"

Anyway, he must be many times stronger than he is now.

Without much thought, he quickly got down to business.

The space inside was huge, and the inner consciousness was also restricted, so it took him a lot of time to find the crack.

Fortunately, after a lot of hard work, I finally found it.

At this moment, there was a crack about one meter long in the void floating in front of Lu Chen.

It was as if someone had quietly opened a hole in this space with a knife, and a steady stream of black energy from outside was pouring in crazily.
