Invincible through Touching Corpses

’Protection from the World Will? As expected of the special treatment for a Child of Fortune.’ He lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne.

A command then traveled out along invisible spatial fluctuations, and he closed his eyes once more.

...

At this moment, in the outer regions of the Abyssal Plane, Charm King and Magma Demon King were both gazing toward the depths of the plane, waiting for something with solemn expressions.

Suddenly, their powerful Perception detected a terrifying fluctuation emanating from the depths of the plane. The Energy of the entire plane seemed to boil for an instant.

"How terrifying! With such a massive Power of Heaven and Earth Rules, even Lord Divine King would probably find it impossible to block it!" the Magma Demon King said.

"None of us have ever seen Lord Divine King truly make a move, so how would you know he couldn’t block it?"

"Besides, so what if this Power of Heaven and Earth Rules, controlled by the World Will, is massive? It’s just a mindless force, easily deceived and bypassed," the Charm King said nonchalantly.

The Magma Demon King shot the Charm King a disdainful glance. He pursued Power and despised such unorthodox methods above all else.

However, remembering how he had nearly been crippled by the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules just a moment ago, he refrained from mocking her.

Just then, both of them seemed to sense something and instantly snapped their gazes in unison toward the Abyssal Passage.

With their powerful Perception Power, they could even roughly sense the situation on the Earth Plane through the Abyssal Passage.

Both of them could feel that the world Rules of Earth were changing.

That’s right, the world Rules, not Rule Power.

The impact of such a change was immense, especially alterations to fundamental Rules. For example, if Earth had no fire Rule, it would be impossible to ignite anything.

Therefore, regardless of the plane, a change in the world Rules always signified that something major was about to happen.

"It’s a change to the Rules of Cultivation. Just as we suspected, Lord Divine King’s Heaven-Covering Array was discovered by the World Will, triggering that backlash from the Power of Heaven and Earth Rules."

"In other words, the Earth Plane’s Cultivation System is now complete. They can break through their current shackles, and experts at the Rule Realm can now emerge," the Charm King said, her expression grave.

Hearing this, the Magma Demon King couldn’t help but scoff. "I say, Charm King, are you growing more timid with age? You have a whole host of Rule Realm subordinates yourself. It’s just the Rule Realm. If any of them dared to stand before me, I could kill them with a single slap."

"In fact, I think it’s a good thing for them to have Rule Realm experts. Once we kill them, we can seize their Rules and master them with ease."

"Otherwise, given how strongly the Earth Plane’s Rules repel us, just the Refinement of them would be an immense headache."

The Charm King shot him a look and said coolly, "Don’t you forget, once their World Will senses a crisis, it will actively help its experts master the Rules. Under those circumstances, their rate of improvement will be unimaginable. It’s possible an expert on our level could appear within a few years."

"Haha! How ridiculous! Reaching my level in a few years? If their plane truly had such a genius, why would their Martial Arts be so backward? This is practically the weakest world plane we’ve ever invaded!" the Magma Demon King roared with laughter.

The Charm King fell silent, no longer bothering to argue with him. ’If Earth could truly be taken so easily, why would their Divine King have gone to the trouble of setting up the Heaven-Covering Array to sever their path of Martial Arts? Besides, that world originally only possessed strange weapons, but then a whole host of complete legacies suddenly appeared. The situation is highly unusual.’

But she didn’t voice any of these thoughts.

In her eyes, a brute like the Magma Demon King still had his uses—for instance, to spring any traps for them.

It wouldn’t do to wise him up now.

As the two were lost in their own thoughts, a unique fluctuation suddenly reached their ears, and they exchanged a look of surprise.

"It seems Lord Divine King is very interested in this Child of Destiny! He’s even willing to offer a Third Class Heaven and Earth Rule of our choosing as a reward. Charm King, don’t you have many clones in that world? Why don’t you..."

Before the Magma Demon King could finish, he saw the Charm King’s clone in front of him slowly vanish.

A vein throbbed on his forehead. "Very good, Charm King. I’ll remember this."

...

In the outer regions, high above another Abyssal Passage, the Charm King’s figure slowly materialized.

She glanced down. The area below appeared completely empty, yet she flew straight toward an inconspicuous corner.

"Shadow Demon King, I presume you’ve received Lord Divine King’s command. How about we cooperate?"

"I’ve planted numerous Seeds of Charm on the Earth Plane, so I can take responsibility for identifying the Child of Destiny. You can send your Shadow Demon Race to handle the assassination," the Charm King said to a patch of shadow in the darkness.

The patch of shadow slowly coalesced into a blurry, illusory humanoid figure. "Cooperation is acceptable. But since Lord Divine King is only offering one Heaven and Earth Rule as a reward, how shall we divide it?"

"I have half of a Heaven and Earth Rule in my possession. I will give it to you, and in return, I will take the Heaven and Earth Rule from Lord Divine King’s reward," the Charm King stated plainly.

"That’s hardly an equal trade! A complete Heaven and Earth Rule is worth at least three or four times more than half of one," the Shadow Demon King said.

"It’s not the same," the Charm King said with a coy laugh. "Your role is replaceable; I could find other Demon Kings to work with. My role, however, is irreplaceable."

After a moment of silence, the Shadow Demon King finally nodded. "Deal! We’ll make a contract with Lord Divine King as our witness."

"No problem!" The corners of the Charm King’s lips curved into a slight smile.

’Right now, my clone ability still has its flaws. If my true body is discovered, I can still be killed.’

’But if I can obtain a complete Heaven and Earth Rule from the Divine King and have my Clone Rule devour it to grow stronger, it might evolve into a Second Class Rule. Then, I’ll be able to switch between my clones and my true body at will.’

’At that point, not even an expert a full tier stronger than me would be able to touch me.’

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghai had no idea that, as a mere Marrow Tempering Realm cultivator, he had already been targeted by the great Demon Kings of the Abyssal Plane.

Right now, he was in high spirits, because just a moment ago, he had finally completed the transformation of his heart and stomach.

He had also gained two new abilities: Superior Blood Production and Superior Digestion.

Furthermore, since his heart and stomach had completed their transformation, their tempering was, in a sense, also complete.

Out of the eleven internal organs to be tempered, he had now finished two. As long as he tempered one more, he could break through to the Marrow Tempering Realm Middle Stage.

After assessing his two new abilities, Lin Xinghai immediately called up his system panel.

Host: Lin Xinghai

Physique: 1130 points

Power: 1130 points

Speed: 1130 points

Perception Range: 3000 meters

Blood Qi Power (Self): 2533 points

Realm: Marrow Tempering Realm Early Stage

Blood Qi Power (System): 790,000 points

Thunder Divine Body (Marrow Tempering Realm): Progress 0%

Superpower: Time Acceleration (Can accelerate time by 10x)

Special Physique: Thunder Control Physique (Thunder Energy Attack +100%, Thunder Energy Control Level +100%)

Thunder God Spear (Entry Level): Proficiency 1%+

Thunderbolt Step (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%+

Wind and Thunder Spear Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%+

Phantom Body Technique (Great Success): Proficiency 1%+

Intermediate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 100%+

His three physical Attributes hadn’t increased by much, with each only gaining 100 points.

However, he had already anticipated this. According to the legacy of the Thunder Divine Body, both the Blood Qi Realm and the Marrow Tempering Realm were foundational stages that didn’t provide significant physical enhancement.

The only significant increase was perhaps his total Blood Qi Power, which had jumped by a solid 500 points.

This was easy enough to understand. After all, the purpose of the Marrow Tempering Realm—tempering the internal organs—was precisely to increase one’s maximum capacity for Blood Qi Power.

Therefore, at this stage, the primary area of improvement was the total amount of Blood Qi Power.

What did surprise Lin Xinghai, however, was the increase in his Perception Power, which had jumped by a full 1000 meters.

Normally, his Perception Power at this stage should have increased just as it did in the Blood Qi Realm—by 500 meters for each minor stage.

Of course, he didn’t dwell on it. After all, his Perception Power had been far stronger than others’ from the very beginning.
