Chapter 923: Chapter 321: Commanding the Dragon Corpse, Slaying Into the Mysterious World
"The Dragon Corpse made a move? Could it be that the Dragon Corpse has a way to escape the limitations of the Rule?" an Emperor Sovereign furrowed his brows and said.
"The Rule? Can’t you feel it? The power of this toxic gas hasn’t surpassed the God Realm; how could it not come in?" Bao Shi responded.
"We must consider what to do now."
"Inform the Divine Sovereign quickly. After all, it was Divine Sovereign who cut down this Dragon Corpse," an Emperor Sovereign said.
Although the toxic gas was temporarily blocked by them, they knew that they could only prevent it for a time, not forever.
As long as the toxic gas persisted, they couldn’t carry out their plans.
After a brief discussion, these Emperor Sovereigns decided to notify Divine Sovereign Wu Fu.
Because now they had no other solutions, and they had to protect their own lives.
Quickly, Bao Shi used the Communication Stone to contact Divine Sovereign Wu Fu.
"What’s the matter?" the voice of Divine Sovereign Wu Fu slowly sounded.
"Divine Sovereign, there’s a situation..."
Bao Shi promptly told the story of the toxic gas.
"I didn’t expect that Dragon Corpse could still use such a method. This is Netherworld Flower Poison; it’s best you don’t get contaminated by it."
"Once tainted, your cultivation will be suppressed, and you’ll end up a cripple, but it’s not fatal," said Divine Sovereign Wu Fu.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions drastically changed.
What kind of joke is this? Not fatal?
Having one’s cultivation suppressed is incredibly fatal. For people like them, if their cultivation decreases, there will be plenty who would take advantage of them.
With poison in their bodies, they might not dare to consume you, but they would certainly kill you.
In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, having less power is an original sin.
"Divine Sovereign, what should we do now? Can this poison be neutralized?" Bao Shi hurriedly asked.
"This poison... even I can’t neutralize it. When I was poisoned back then, I immediately cut off my own arm to prevent the toxin from spreading," Divine Sovereign Wu Fu shook his head and said.
The group of Emperor Sovereigns was shocked by his words, and they quickly intensified their efforts to stop the toxic gas.
After getting poisoned and having their cultivation lowered, they truly dared not touch it.
"Divine Sovereign, should we continue with our plan?" Bao Shi slowly asked.
At this moment, everyone looked at Bao Shi, quietly waiting for Divine Sovereign’s next words.
"With the toxic gas present, your plan can’t be completed. Come back first, and we’ll take a long-term view later," the Divine Sovereign said slowly.
Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately sighed in relief.
Though returning would mean some loss to their power, it’s far better than being affected by this irreparable Netherworld Flower Poison’s toxicity.
Mu Rufeng was also secretly pleased; this meant that his plan could now proceed.
"Boss Niu, leave a little later, I’m going to retrieve something," Mu Rufeng said and quickly headed outside the Ghost Cave.
Before long, Mu Rufeng had exited the Ghost Cave.
Following that, Mu Rufeng transferred all the items from the Item Slot into the storage ring on his hand.
When he left the Imperial City, he had brought several storage rings with him.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng extended his hand to touch the body of the Dragon Corpse.
With a thought, Mu Rufeng wanted to store the Dragon Corpse within.
However, to Mu Rufeng’s astonishment, the Dragon Corpse could not be stored.
His expression changed dramatically in an instant.
But soon, he laughed, realizing the reason was that the Dragon Soul Ao Zhi was inside, thus preventing its storage.
To store it, Ao Zhi needed to come out from within.
Mu Rufeng was about to head to the Soul Space when a streak of light flew out from within the Dragon Corpse, directly entering his mind.
Mu Rufeng suddenly found himself within his own Soul Space.
Mu Rufeng stared blankly forward, for Ao Zhi was also there, soaking in a vast ocean, sound asleep.
Mu Rufeng called out several times but received no response.
After pondering, Mu Rufeng figured that his Soul Space and Ao Zhi’s Soul Space seemed to be linked.
He could freely enter Ao Zhi’s Soul Space, and Ao Zhi could enter his Soul Space as well.
The slumbering Ao Zhi inside the Dragon Corpse seemed to have sensed Mu Rufeng’s thoughts, thus directly entering Mu Rufeng’s Soul Space.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng exited his Soul Space and once more attempted to store the Dragon Corpse in the Item Slot.
However, the Dragon Corpse still remained motionless.
Mu Rufeng realized that the Dragon Corpse was simply too large and heavy, exceeding the fifty-thousand-ton limit of his Item Slot.
His Item Slot had 999 slots, each with an upper limit of ten thousand catties, meaning nearly a hundred million catties, or fifty thousand tons.
Clearly, the weight of the Dragon Corpse exceeded fifty thousand tons.
It made sense given its several-thousand-zhang-long body; the weight would not be light.
Not in a hurry, Mu Rufeng immediately used the divine power of ’Master of Dragon Corpse’ to merge with it.
Having mastered most of the divine powers of the Dragon Corpse, Mu Rufeng immediately used the ability to change size.
He saw the Dragon Corpse rapidly shrink, eventually becoming a divine dragon of only three hundred zhang, reduced to about ten times its previous size.
Then Mu Rufeng detached from the fusion and attempted again to store it in the Item Slot.
This time, the Dragon Corpse was successfully stored in the Item Slot.
Indeed, as the Dragon Corpse shrank, its volume decreased, and naturally, so did its weight.
Mu Rufeng checked and found it occupied roughly over five hundred slots.
Remarkably, even at three hundred zhang, the Dragon Corpse weighed over twenty thousand tons. It was unimaginable how dense the Dragon Corpse’s musculature and bones were.
After storing the Dragon Corpse properly, Mu Rufeng re-entered the Virtualization State and swiftly returned to the Ghost Cave.
Upon reaching the underground space, Mu Rufeng found that most Emperor Sovereigns were still healing, while two Emperor Sovereigns were blocking the toxic gas.
Mu Rufeng noted that one Emperor Sovereign was already missing.
Mu Rufeng understood, returning in the opposite direction to the Mysterious World had the same restrictions for Emperor Sovereigns, one every three days.
No doubt, this was why those injured Emperor Sovereigns continued to convalesce.
Mu Rufeng could also see that Ghost Emperors, Ghost Kings, and Ghost Generals were beginning to return through the teleporting vortex one after another.
The God Realm was almost invisible, with only a few Ghost Emperors left there to maintain order.
