Chapter 4239: Corpse Control Talisman, Corpse Moving and Shadow Changing Talisman

A massive nine-colored aura met the golden blade light. The two collided, and the golden blade light instantly disintegrated. The nine-colored aura then shot straight towards Ye Haitang and her two companions.

Black light surged from Ye Haitang's right index finger. She lightly pointed into the void, and a black beam of light shot out to meet the nine-colored aura.

The black beam collided with the nine-colored aura, and both were annihilated.

Ye Haitang formed a hand seal, and black light surged from her body. Five black lights flew out and vanished in a blur.

Howls and wails echoed loudly, and chilling winds swept through.

The black-robed elder, of course, wouldn't just sit and wait for death. Just as he was about to command his Corpse Refinements to eliminate Wang Yidao and his two companions, the void above his head rippled, and a small, black-glowing seal appeared out of thin air.

The seal's surface bore a grotesque ghost face. The ghost face let out a shrill wail, and the black seal rapidly expanded in size, crashing down towards him.

The black-robed elder shook the black bell in his hand, and a black ape, radiating a powerful aura of death, burst out from underground. With a movement of its arms, it held up the descending black giant seal.

A silver light flashed, and a silver orb, wreathed in lightning, shot towards him. Before the black-robed elder could evade, the silver orb burst open, transforming into a massive silver lightning sphere that enveloped an area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.

Above the thirty-plus Corpse Refinements, a mass of black dark energy emerged, revealing Ye Haitang's figure.

“Five Ghost Immortal Slaying Array! Activate!”

Ye Haitang shouted loudly, and the world seemed to shift. Countless streams of dark energy surged forth, the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves became incessant, and dense dark energy enveloped the thirty-plus Golden Immortal-level Corpse Refinements.

The silver lightning dissipated. A small black umbrella hovered above the black-robed elder's head, and a thick black light barrier enveloped his entire body.

“An Immortal Array Master, forming an array with their own body!”

The black-robed elder exclaimed in surprise, his brows deeply furrowed.

A gust of strong wind blew past, and a gigantic azure falcon appeared before the black-robed elder. The azure falcon emanated an overwhelming aura of death and displayed six colors.

“A Six-Colored Chaos Beast! You actually refined a Chaos Beast into a Corpse Refinement!”

The black-robed elder was filled with both surprise and delight.

The azure falcon's sharp talons struck the black light barrier, causing it to dent and twist.

The black-robed elder activated the black bell in his hand, and a black light circle swept out, enveloping the azure falcon.

The azure falcon stopped mid-air. The black-robed elder raised his right hand, and a black-glowing talisman flew out, merging into the azure falcon's body.

He activated the black bell, and the azure falcon immediately flapped its wings, pouncing towards Fang Mu.

“A Corpse Control Talisman!”

Fang Mu exclaimed in surprise. This type of talisman is specifically designed for Corpse Refinements and is used in conjunction with special immortal artifacts.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators control Corpse Refinements using their divine sense, and can only control those they have personally cultivated. A Corpse Control Talisman is different; any Corpse Refinement can be controlled by it. When used with a special immortal artifact, it can control a large number of Corpse Refinements.

The black bell in the black-robed elder's hand was clearly a specialized artifact for controlling Corpse Refinements.

The azure falcon flapped its wings lightly and vanished from its spot.

“Daoist Wang, be careful!”

Fang Mu quickly warned, as black light surged from his body, and a thick black light barrier immediately appeared, protecting his entire form.

No sooner had he spoken than the azure falcon appeared before Wang Yidao, its sharp talons heading straight for him.

Though also a Golden Immortal-level Corpse Refinement, one made from a Chaos Beast's body possessed stronger defenses.

Wang Yidao swung the golden long saber in his hand towards the void, and eight massive golden blade lights swept out, instantly merging into one, forming a colossal golden blade ray that slashed towards the azure falcon.

Sweeping the World!

The world seemed to turn golden. The golden blade ray swept through the azure falcon's body, splitting it in two. The Corpse Control Talisman flew out, and with a soft crackle, it spontaneously combusted, turning to ash.

Using the 'Melding Orifice Art,' Wang Yidao fused seven types of Law Powers and combined them with his saber technique, destroying the Corpse Refinement in a single strike.

The golden blade ray continued straight towards the black-robed elder, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to sink wherever it passed.

The black-robed elder was greatly startled, not daring to confront it directly. Just as he was about to evade, a shrill ghost wail rang out, and simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force appeared out of thin air, causing his body to rapidly plummet towards the ground.

With no way to evade, the black-robed elder let out a strange roar. His body shriveled, his nails rapidly elongated, fangs grew from his mouth, his eyes turned blood-red, and a pair of black bone wings sprouted from his back.

He clenched his right hand into a fist and threw a punch to meet the golden blade ray.

With a tremendous crash, the golden blade ray dispersed, and a faint, almost imperceptible, bloody mark appeared on the black-robed elder's right fist.

“Half-corpse, half-human! Are you cultivating to become a Corpse Refinement?”

Fang Mu said, frowning.

“My physical body merely leans towards that of a Corpse Refinement,” the elder replied. “The physical bodies of Corpse Refinements are the strongest.”

The black-robed elder's gaze was fanatical. He let out an exceedingly bizarre roar, and a black sound wave swept out, heading straight for Wang Yidao and Fang Mu.

Upon hearing this sound, Fang Mu and Wang Yidao felt their qi and blood churning, their heads spinning, and they could barely stand upright.

Seizing this opportunity, the black-robed elder lightly flapped the black bone wings on his back and vanished from his spot.

The golden jade pendant on Wang Yidao's chest glowed brightly, and a thick golden light barrier immediately appeared, protecting his entire body.

Fang Mu simultaneously summoned a Corpse Refinement and took out a black-glowing talisman, patting it onto himself.

The black sound wave reached Wang Yidao, who swung his saber, and a golden blade light swept out, shattering the black sound wave.

The black-robed elder appeared behind Fang Mu without any warning, his right fist enveloped in a black light sphere, and smashed it towards Fang Mu.

Just as Fang Mu was about to evade, a powerful malevolent aura appeared in his spiritual sea, and he instantly felt dizzy and disoriented.

Black light surged from Fang Mu's body, and his body blurred, transforming into a Corpse Refinement. The black-robed elder's fist smashed onto the Corpse Refinement's head, shattering it. The corpse then emitted a black light, revealing a black-glowing talisman.

With a muffled thud, the talisman spontaneously combusted.

“Corpse Shifting Shadow Swapping Talisman!”

The black-robed elder snorted coldly and smashed his right fist towards Wang Yidao.

His fist struck the golden light barrier, which instantly shattered. Golden light surged from Wang Yidao's right index finger, meeting the black-robed elder's fist.

Fist and finger collided, emitting a metallic clang.

“How is this possible?!”

The black-robed elder exclaimed in surprise. A punch from him would injure even a Seven-Colored Chaos Beast.

A black halo radiated from Wang Yidao's right index finger, sweeping over the black-robed elder's body. The Law of Death!

The black-robed elder's brows furrowed deeply, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Golden light surged from Wang Yidao's left hand as he slashed towards the void. A massive golden blade light immediately appeared and struck the black-robed elder's body — a combination of the Blade of Laws and the Melding Orifice Art.

The black-robed elder was sent flying backward, with a horrifying bloody gash across his chest where bone was faintly visible.

Wang Yidao was somewhat surprised. The black-robed elder's cultivation technique seemed formidable; his physical body was comparable to a Golden Immortal-level Seven-Colored Chaos Beast.

The black-robed elder felt his life force slowly dissipating, and an aura of death lingered around his wound.

“The Law of Death!”

The black-robed elder exclaimed. He wasn't a Corpse Refinement himself, but had merely cultivated his physical body to be as powerful as one. Thus, the Law of Death was highly effective against him.

An azure light flashed, and an azure-glowing talisman appeared above the black-robed elder's head. It instantly burst open, transforming into a cluster of azure misty light that enveloped the black-robed elder, from whom a pained scream erupted.

Fang Mu summoned five small black mirrors. He formed a hand seal, and each of the five black mirrors spewed out a black misty light, which merged into the azure misty light.

A piercing saber hum rang out, and eight incredibly massive golden blade rays swept forward, merging into one mid-flight and plunging into the azure misty light. The ground itself was torn apart.

A miniature nascent soul flew out of the body, but before it could fly far, it was enveloped by a black misty light and pulled back towards Fang Mu.
