Enveloped by this energy, Lu Li felt he was frozen in ice. Not only could he not move, but his blood seemed to have stopped flowing.
His soul seemed to be frozen. He could not think. The only thing left in his soul was endless fear!
This was the most horrifying energy Lu Li had ever sensed. It was more horrifying than God of Barbarian, God of Wings and Emperor of Heaven Reverse. It was even … more horrifying than the Slayer's energy in the blood.
Of course, Lu Li only sensed it from the Slayer's blood. But there was an immortal's body here.
Emperor of Heaven Reverse and the others only had avatars. This was not an equal comparison.
Perhaps if he encountered a living deity, his aura would be just as terrifying.
"No!"
The first Dead Soul Charm had just been used, and the immortal's body had already reacted in such a way. Lu Li could not move. How could he use more Dead Soul Charms?
The immortal's corpse had such a huge reaction. Would it move in the next second and tear him to pieces?
Even if the immortal's body did not move, Lu Li believed he would die soon under the pressure of this horrifying energy.
His blood could not flow, and he had stopped breathing. If he could not think of a way, he would die here for sure.
"No!"
Lu Li was unwilling to accept this. His death was not a big deal, but Yan Gu and the others at the Great Land would start a killing spree if they could not get the Wicked Bead.
Countless innocent people would die. Blood would flow like a river in the Divine Great Land. Corpses and bones would pile up into mountains.
Lu Li was unwilling to accept this reality at the thought of this. His desire to live was growing stronger.
However, all of this was useless. He still couldn't move his body. It was as if his soul had completely lost control of his body, or perhaps his soul had been intimidated. He couldn't even move a finger.
Time moved on. Lu Li felt he was suffocating. He could not move, his blood could not flow, and he had stopped breathing.
At this rate, he would suffocate to death. All his bodily functions would be destroyed.
"Buzzing ~"
While Lu Li was at a loss of what to do, the silver dragon mark in his Soul Pond suddenly glowed.
Then, a surge of energy came out from his Soul Pond and spread to every corner of his body.
"Wow!"
Lu Li felt he had jumped into a hot spring in the cold winter. He felt extremely comfortable.
At this moment, he could move. His blood was flowing, and his breathing was normal. Everything was wonderful.
"Alright!"
How could Lu Li miss such an opportunity? He didn't know what kind of energy the silver dragon mark had transferred to him, but since he could move, he had to seize every second.
Buzz buzz buzz!
More Dead Soul Charms came out from his Interspatial Ring. Lu Li kept moving his hands, sending the Dead Soul Charms into the ground. In the time for two or three breaths, 107 Dead Soul Charms had been sent out.
It was clearly stated in the Corpse Refining Secret Technique that if one wanted to control a powerful corpse, one must inject one hundred and eight Corpse Soul Charms.
Moreover, the Corpse Soul Imprint in the Corpse Soul Rune will be completely integrated into the corpse. Only then will I be able to control the corpse for my use.
After Lu Li released the 107 Dead Soul Charms, he closed his eyes and focused on sensing them.
When the first Dead Soul Charm pierced through the ground and hit the immortal's body, Lu Li detonated it at once.
"Explode, explode, explode —"
One hundred and seven Dead Soul Charms flew out and landed on the immortal's body. Lu Li detonated the Dead Soul Charms one by one. Naturally, the soul imprints in the Dead Soul Charms were integrated into the immortal's body.
"Good, good!"
The Dead Soul Charms exploded one by one, but nothing happened to the immortal's body. Lu Li was trembling with joy.
As long as he could control the immortal's body, he could throw the immortal's body to Yan Gu and the others. Given the horrifying energy of the immortal's body, who could harm Yan Gu and the others?
By then, they would be lambs waiting to be slaughtered by Lu Li.
Lu Li's comprehensive abilities would be enhanced. He could kill warriors at the peak of the Semi-God Realm and flatten the nine universes …
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
In the underground palace, Dead Soul Charms swarmed over. They all landed on the headless immortal's body and then exploded under Lu Li's control.
Wisps of cyan smoke rose from the Dead Soul Charms into the headless immortal's body.
One hundred, one hundred and five, one hundred and seven!
When the last Dead Soul Charm exploded on the immortal's body, Lu Li could finally relax.
According to the skill of corpse refinement, when all 108 Dead Soul Charms were put into the body, no matter how strong the body was when it was alive, it would be controlled and could not hurt the owner of the Dead Soul Charms.
Using the Dead Soul Charms was the first step. Lu Li had to proceed to the second step, the most critical one.
He needed to control the body, which meant he needed to have a spiritual connection with the body and turn the body into his puppet.
The chilly energy and the horrifying energy of the immortal's body were still there.
But … after the silver dragon mark transferred some strange energy to Lu Li, he felt he could withstand the energy of the immortal's body. At the very least, he would not be frozen and unable to move.
"Phew, phew!"
Time was of the essence. Who could tell how long the energy from the silver dragon mark could last?
While he could move, Lu Li must seize the opportunity.
"I will die with my head in the clouds. Let's do it!"
He grabbed Leng Feng, clenched his teeth and started to dig downward.
This place was not far from the underground palace. In the time for a dozen breaths, Lu Li felt Leng Feng pierced through the rocks in front of him. Then, the ground he was standing on collapsed.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li did not have the courage to go down directly. He stood on the headless body and twisted to the side in midair. He looked at the appalling immortal's body at once.
The underground palace was dark without a trace of light. That being said, there were some runes moving around the immortal's body, giving off a faint glow. Lu Li's eyesight was good. He could see the headless body clearly.
Those runes were the marks of the dead from the Dead Soul Charms. They had covered the immortal's body.
The energy in the immortal's body was horrifying. However, the immortal's body showed no reaction. At the moment, the heartbeat seemed to have weakened.
"Okay!"
Lu Li was enveloped by the chilly energy. He was trembling all the time, but inside, he was burning with passion.
The Dead Soul Charms were working. The headless body had been suppressed. Lu Li only needed to proceed to the second step, which was to use the Dead Soul Seed to establish a spiritual connection with the immortal's body. In this way, the immortal's body would be completely under his control.
There was no time to lose!
Lu Li had always been a swift and decisive person. He flew the Wicked Bead up and arrived above the immortal's body.
His hands glowed with Xuan Energy. His hands moved quickly and a golden ball of light came into being. He waved his hand and the golden ball flew down into the immortal's body.
However —
The next second, the immortal's body began to tremble. Then, a huge golden hand moved in a flash and grabbed Lu Li!
The hand was so big that Lu Li felt he was a bug in the palm. What was more frightening was that there was a surge of strange energy coming out from the hand. The energy surged into Lu Li's body and then into his soul.
