Chapter 326: The Transformation of the Red Tiger Totem! (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liang Su used the mystic technique of the Extreme Fire Sect to split the omniscient flame into two. Me took a third. The rest belonged to Xiao Shi.

Next, Liang Su planned to return to the sect to break through to the Blood Martial Realm. He excitedly expressed that if he could successfully break through to the Blood Martial Realm, he might be able to form more omniscient flames through his intrinsic martial blood in the future.

After Liang Su left, Xiao Shi also began to prepare to upgrade the Red Tiger Totem through the Omniscient Flame. He still remembered that the last time he used the Flame of Truth to upgrade the Red Tiger Totem, it showed signs of atavism.

He wondered what kind of changes would happen when he used the Omniscient Flame to upgrade the Red Tiger Totem this time?

With anticipation in his heart, the red tiger totem on his back immediately transformed into the form of a blood beast. Its body was strong, and its eyes were demonic and bloodshot. Its forehead bulged slightly.

Xiao Shi held the omniscient flame in his hand and pressed the entire omniscient flame against the forehead of the blood beast formed by the Red Tiger Totem. The ball of flames immediately seeped into the Blood Beast’s body through its forehead.

Hiss!

A circle of blood-colored water vapor immediately rose from the blood beast’s body. The flesh and bones of its entire body were squirming and compressing. Not only did it not grow larger, but it also kept shrinking.

Under the continuous shrinking, a blood-colored horn pierced out from its protruding forehead. However, only a portion of the horn was revealed. Clearly, it had not completely grown out.

But even so, an ancient aura also spread out from the blood beast. Be it the size of its body or its bloodline aura, they were completely different from before. Not only that, Xiao Shi could still clearly sense that this Red Tiger Totem had already undergone a fundamental change compared to before.

Buzz!

With a thought, the Blood Red Tiger pounced on his body. When it pounced on his body, ripples appeared. He integrated into it. But unlike before, the integration of the blood-colored red tiger did not form a totem on his back. Instead, it directly fused into the space between his eyebrows and appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“This is!!” Xiao Shi’s heart trembled.

There was no longer the Red Tiger Totem on his back. Or to be precise, the Red Tiger Totem was no longer parasitizing his body. Instead, it fused into his mind.

This change was something Xiao Shi had not expected at all! He carefully sensed the Red Tiger Totem in his sea of consciousness. Apart from the change in position, the Red Tiger Totem seemed to have some new abilities.

On a plain in Tiandou Province.

Swoosh!

A mysterious figure wrapped in a black cloak appeared out of thin air on the plain. He held a black wooden staff in one hand and a compass-like object in the other. He was doing some profound and high-end calculations. “If we choose this place, our chances of success will be the highest.” He whispered softly. He slowly raised the wooden staff in his hand and stabbed the ground below.

Buzz!

Ripples immediately appeared on the ground. As it continued to spread, the ground trembled. An enormous black altar suddenly rose slowly from the ground. The entire black altar was a thousand feet tall.

After rising from the ground, the mysterious black-robed man sat cross-legged in the middle of the altar and began to perform a mysterious and complicated ritual.

At the same time above the altar, the Lord of the Xingluo Territory and a few trusted subordinates were floating in the air, looking down at the mysterious black-robed man below.

“My lord, can we really trust this person?” One of his trusted subordinates could not help but ask.

“I can’t trust him.” The Lord of the Xingluo Territory shook his head. “However, the only thing in the world that can deal with the Heavenly Mystery Palace is the life test! I thought, after the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire collapsed, there was no longer a life test in the world. 1 didn’t expect…”

The Lord of the Xingluo Territory had a gloomy gaze. The appearance of the life tester made him feel extremely vigilant. Back then, the Great Wu Empire had used the life test to deal with the Heavenly Mystery Palace and wanted to exterminate it. The death of the previous Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace was greatly related to the life test.

However, the Life Test Organization was an organization that was loyal to the Great Wu Empire. Everyone thought that with the destruction of the Great Wu Empire, the life test would no longer exist.

Unexpectedly, the Life Test was not destroyed. As the lord of the Xingluo Territory, an organization of the former dynasty would definitely be enemies with him. After all, he was a duke of the Tianwu Continent.

In the eyes of these former dynasty organizations, they were like traitors. Of course, the Lord of the Xingluo Territory did not know if the current life tester was still loyal to the previous dynasty.

No matter what, they all had a common goal now—to find the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

Therefore, even if their positions were different, they could cooperate at this time.

“Stick to the plan.” The Lord of the Xingluo Territory instructed.

“Yes!” His trusted subordinates immediately began to take action.

In the city at the foot of the Extreme Fire Sect’s mountain. A dazzling light suddenly appeared between Xiao Shi’s eyebrows. His black hair danced in the wind. After some experimentation, he realized that the current Red Tiger Totem seemed to be more inclined to the mental and soul aspect.

However, because he was still in the Blood Martial Realm, many abilities could not be used. It seemed that he could only use these powerful abilities after reaching the Martial Soul Realm. Of course, it was not that he could not use all his abilities now. He planned to try to use the powerful ability of the Red Tiger Totem.

Coincidentally, this ability required a puppet. If there were no puppets, corpses were fine too. Therefore, Xiao Shi took out the Corpse of the Dongkui Clan. He placed it on the ground in front of him.

“If it succeeds, this will be an extremely powerful technique of mine.” Xiao Shi took a deep breath.

Buzz!

A blood-colored beam of light suddenly shone from his glabella, condensing on the forehead of the Dongkui Clan’s corpse on the ground.

Swoosh!

This blood-colored beam of light quickly fused into the forehead of the Dongkui member’s corpse, causing an illusory red tiger to gradually condense in the mind of the Dongkui Clan member.

This red tiger was like a mark. It was branded in the mind of the Dongkui Clan member. With a thought from Xiao Shi, the corpse, which had its eyes closed, suddenly opened them. It revealed a pair of gray pupils.

“It worked!” Xiao Shi was excited. Not only did it make the corpse open its eyes, but it also controlled the corpse to stand up from the ground through the Red Tiger Brand in its mind. This mark was like a medium to control corpses.

There are two functions. The first was to control the corpse and give orders to it. It could assign it to a task. However, it could only be a relatively simple and superficial mission. For example, killing enemies! If it required technical skills and some intelligence, it would be impossible to complete. After all, corpses did not have intelligence.

The other function was to use the brand as a medium to directly take over the corpse. This effect was very powerful. Simply put, it was just like how Xiao Shi could split a portion of his soul into the corpse’s mind and take over the corpse.

In this state, this corpse was like Xiao Shi’s clone. Xiao Shi could control the corpse to perform many detailed operations. Now, he planned to fuse his consciousness with the corpse and try to take over.

He concentrated. He sent a wisp of his consciousness to the Red Tiger Mark in the corpse’s mind through the Red Tiger Totem in his sea of consciousness.

In the next second, Xiao Shi felt as if he had been “cut open”. He felt two versions of himself, two bodies. Through the corpse’s perspective, he could clearly see himself. He could also sense an incomparably powerful physical strength from the corpse.

This physical strength was extremely terrifying. It was as if there was a volcano in his body.

“This… this is too powerful!!”
