Shen Luo flicked his sleeve again, and a swath of golden light swept over the ground, displaying more than a dozen jade boxes filled with various materials before him.

These materials were all essential for the final step in crafting the Sky Fiend Corpse King, which he had stealthily purchased while in Tianji City.

Shen Luo closed his eyes to concentrate, recalling the refinement process in his mind. Once he was sure there were no mistakes, he began to chant, and with a flash of crystal light from his brow, dozens of soul threads shot out, piercing into various parts of the Sky Fiend Corpse King's body.

His hands moved swiftly to form seals, very different from the spells he usually cast, utilizing unique secret techniques exclusive to Tianji City as he continuously channeled them into the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

The Yan Patterns on the Sky Fiend Corpse King gradually brightened as if coming to life, and the Corpse King's body slowly began to levitate from within the coffin.

Shen Luo nodded slightly and took out an object–it was the Gathering God Pearl.

All the divine souls previously stored by Ghost Yan had been transferred into Puppet City leaving the Gathering God Pearl empty. Fortunately, Shen Luo had already slain four or five True Immortal Cultivators and dozens of Mahayana monks.

The convergence of so many divine souls was more than sufficient for the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

Shen Luo cast several spells onto the Gathering God Pearl, which immediately shone with a yellow light and flew towards the Sky Fiend Corpse King's head, merging into it as a mass of yellow light and shadow.

The Sky Fiend Corpse King's head lit up suddenly, and its tightly closed eyes flung open, emitting two captivating yellow beams.

Seeing this, Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief–it seemed the Soul Power within the Gathering God Pearl was sufficient for the Sky Fiend Corpse King.

His expression quickly turned serious again as the next step involved integrating the Gathering God Pearl and the body completely, determining whether the Sky Fiend Corpse King could be successfully crafted.

Moreover, during this process, he had to condense his own divine soul into a soul curse and implant it into the Sky Fiend Corpse King, to facilitate future control.

Shen Luo's hands moved like the spinning of a car wheel, casting spells rapidly into the Sky Fiend Corpse King, while soul threads continued to pour endlessly from his brow into the Corpse King's body.

While doing this, he spat out a stream of golden flames that enveloped a nearby jade box.

The jade box popped open in response, and a clump of silver powder flew out, which, under the smelting of the golden flame, fused one by one into the Sky Fiend Corpse King's body.

…

A few hours later, a thrilling long howl suddenly echoed within the mountain cave, as a blinding yellow light shot out from within, carrying a strange figure with large golden wings, radiating a rich and intense Corpse Air. However, those magnificent wings shone brilliantly, starkly contrasting with the surrounding Corpse Air.

The golden-winged figure spread its wings, and with a flash of golden light, the figure vanished in an instant, reappearing hundreds of feet away, almost as if teleporting.

With an eerie cackle, the figure's wings began to flap again, becoming a vague golden silhouette, at one moment appearing to the east, and at the next to the west–its presence was erratic and ghostly.

“The Golden Escape Technique is truly extraordinary, deserving of being the fastest among the Five Elements Escape Techniques,” a streak of blue light flew out from the mountain cave, revealing Shen Luo's figure, his face filled with joy.

The process of refining the Sky Fiend Corpse King had gone smoother than expected, which could be because Ghost Yan's preliminary preparations were exceptionally thorough, or perhaps because he had some innate talent in crafting Armor, or maybe his powerful divine soul was conducive to the crafting.

No matter the reason, Shen Luo had successfully crafted the Sky Fiend Corpse King, greatly enhancing his strength.

Shen Luo beckoned with his hand, and the Sky Fiend Corpse King ceased moving, ascending to hover beside him.

He admired the newly crafted Corpse King with a smile, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Then, with the wave of a sleeve, a beam of crimson light shot out, and the Sky Fiend Corpse King disappeared into nothing, secured within the Free and Easy Mirror.

This Corpse King was now his trump card, naturally to be carefully concealed until a crucial moment arose.

“Let's go!” Shen Luo immediately formed a seal and invoked the Pure Yang Sword, transforming into a streak of crimson sword light shooting towards the Heavenly Pit.

Refining the Sky Fiend Corpse King had already wasted a lot of time, hoping that Bodhi Ancestor and the others had not completely collapsed.

Shen Luo was dressed in Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing, with an Invisibility Talisman attached to his body, and returned to the Heavenly Pit with great caution.

Before even getting close, he heard from afar the clamorous yelling and shouting of demons, as if they were organizing some action, but the sounds of fighting could no longer be heard.

Shen Luo approached behind a rock, carefully peeked out his head, and looked towards the pit.

He saw that fragments of stone scattered all around the edges of the Heavenly Pit, and the prohibitions that once shrouded the area had been shattered, allowing a host of demons to completely occupy it.

The Bodhi Holy Tree was nowhere to be seen, it was uncertain whether it had been destroyed or Bodhi Ancestor had managed to transfer it somewhere else.

However, inside the Heavenly Pit had emerged a golden light pillar reaching dozens of feet into the sky, towering like a pillar of gold.

Strong spiritual pressure was continuously released from within the golden light pillar, causing the disciples from Pansi Cave and Lion Camel Ridge nearby to be quite wary, not daring to approach too closely.

On the edge of the Heavenly Pit, Flower Ten Women and the Six-tusked Elephant King, along with the Golden Wings Large Peng, stood at the front, their brows furrowed as they looked at the column of golden light.

Behind the three of them, Elder Chi Rong from Demon King Fort was positioned slightly to the rear, not venturing to the very front.

“Even with the combined strength of the two Great Kings, we can't directly break through this prohibition?” Flower Ten Women asked.

Flower Ten Women's complexion was somewhat pale, as she had been carelessly struck by Shen Luo's Earth-Attracting Thunder Talisman earlier. Although it hadn't injured her vital essence, it had caused quite a loss of her vitality.

“This is a prohibition used by Mount Fangcun to suppress the Divine Demon Well, did you think it was ordinary? Why don't you give it a try?” The Six-tusked Elephant King said with some dissatisfaction.

It was Pansi Cave who had first proposed attacking Mount Fangcun to unlock the Divine Demon Well, yet their cave master did not personally take action, instead, they sent a Great Elder to lead the team.

To make matters worse, not only did Flower Ten Women not help much with breaking through the gate of the Bodhi Secret Realm, but now she was even making sarcastic remarks, which he found intolerable.

“Elephant King, don't be angry. If you can't break through the prohibition, how could I, a weak woman, manage it? However, our Pansi Cave does have a blood sacrifice method to break the prohibition, which we could try,” Flower Ten Women said.

“Then what are you waiting for? Get to it,” the Six-tusked Elephant King said.

“If there's a way, then try it quickly. If the Heavenly Palace side really notices something, they won't just sit idly by. Be careful of too much delay bringing unexpected problems,” the Golden Wings Large Peng also nodded and added.

“Please wait a moment, I will arrange it immediately,” Flower Ten Women said with an unworried, smiling face.

Turning around, her expression suddenly grew cold as she took out a snow-white longsword and stabbed it into the ground. She began to draw charm patterns around the edge of the Heavenly Pit.

Before long, an array of talisman patterns in the shape of a strange flower appeared around the Heavenly Pit.

Flower Ten Women put away the longsword and began to take out red round stones one by one, embedding them into various array pillars of the Array of Talisman Patterns.

With each stone placed, the entire great formation lit up with a burst of dull red light, until she had embedded all forty-nine red round stones into their positions, and the hazy red light that lit up across the entire formation began to flicker slightly without going out.

Golden Wings Large Peng and the other stood by watching. Seeing her stop, they asked, “Is that enough?”

“Almost there, but we're still missing a few offerings,” Flower Ten Women said with a smile.

Having said this, she clapped her hands, and immediately a line of dozens of people were pushed forward by a multitude of demons.
