The rusted sword cut deeps into Cole's palm. If this happen to him back at Earth, this kind of injury is enough to lose his consciousness.

But now, after he experience of having his whole body almost becoming a meat paste cause by the slapped of Saint's will, this kind of injury can't even be considered as scratch. Furthermore, his willpower was refined by that experience that this injury seems feel nothing at all.

But what Cole didn't know that was that his blood cause an uproar.

The berserk man almost drool the moment he smell and feel the overwhelming life force in that blood.

The corpse puppets battling the other disciples got distracted. They resist their master and try to pounce Cole but ultimately fail as they were under absolute control.

However, that time of distraction was exploited by the righteous path disciples and deal various kind of injury to the corpse puppet. Someone from Nine Yang Sect even kill a single corpse puppet!

The disciples of Blood Demon's Creed is the most distracted of them all. They were blood controller and was very sensitive to it! As of now, they want but to pounce Cole and drain his blood!

Without much thought, they think that Cole's blood was more powerful and important than Gu Xi! Furthermore, the Five Element Sect don't have any unique inheritance that that could cultivate one's life force to brim in just Nascent Soul-Stage. This means that Cole either cultivates a different path or he's like Gu Xi and have an special physique!

Otherwise, they don't know other explanation for him.

Unfortunately, they were occupied by their own opponent.

Thus, as if they saw the beauty they were obsessed with, the disciples of Blood Demon's Creed battle with renown energy!

"Die, you hypocrite cultivators!"

"Move aside or die!"

"Get out of the way, [Demonic Blood Secret Arts : Demonic Blood Tide]!"

Cole didn't heed them any mind. That was because there's someone who needs his attention more. And that was the seductive corpse puppet battling Shiela.

Cole's blood seem to trigger in the corpse puppet as massive transformation happens to it.

As of now, the seductive corpse puppet release an extraordinary momentum, suppressing everyone in the area. Even the ancient phoenix blood on him felt threatened. This time, it was because of the massive difference between their base cultivation level.

Several seconds later, a strong wind pressure was produced by the seductive corpse puppet that clears the area around her. Even the ghost creature Shiela seems to pushed by the extraordinary momentum.

The seductive corpse puppet remain standing on her spot. Since her eyes was covered with high quality fabric, it is hard to detect what it was doing.

The sudden change of event acquire all the focus of the disciples in the area. Even all the ongoing battle is temporarily stopped and looked at the seductive corpse puppet.

Only, the faces of the righteous path disciples turn graver as second passes by while the demonic disciples smile slightly. Once in a while, they gave Cole a glance and try to see what's his reaction are. The greedy glint in their eyes seem to intensified even more.

But no one dare to make a move. Unlike the righteous path cultivators, demonic cultivators don't have any reputation that they have to maintain besides their cruel sides and ways. One moment they were allies and in the next moment they were enemies again. Lest they want to acquire Corpse Refining Sect's ire, they won't dare to touch the treasures in the area that was Gu Xi and Cole.

Of course, it will be different if their own sect have their own trump card like Tier-8 Corpse Puppet.

Shiela look confused as she look at the suddenly powerful corpse puppet. However, not an ounce of fear could be seen on her ethereal face. Instead, there's something inside her that she forgotten already but on the verge of resurfacing and remembering it once again.

Only, she can't focus on that feeling as her master, Cole, command her clearly that she have to occupy this corpse puppet with all of her might.

At the same, Cole's personal encyclopedia stated inside his head, "Your blood must have stimulate her instinct and awaken her former ability when she was alive."

Baldy pause. When he felt that Cole can't answer but listening to him, he continue, "There were two known types of memory. The first one is the soul memory or also known as brain memory. This certain types of memory was the thing stored in one's Sea of Consciousness. The second type was the muscle memory or also known as body memory. This type was the series of action done by the body for countless times already that it become an instinct."

"After the creature die and become a corpse, their soul might have already dissipate and enter reincarnation, their memory forever lost, the flesh body still have a left behind instinct on them, which was the memory engraved in the muscle and body. In fact, there were even some instances that a corpse of ferocious beast will still passively attack for a day or few."

"This certain corpse puppet was a certified Tier-8 cultivator when she's alive. Furthermore, she's definitely a practitioner of the same corpse arts or even a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect as her strength before she die didn't decrease massively after her body got refined into a corpse puppet due to arts compatibility. In which also decrease the vanishment of muscle memory."

"And the phenomenon she's releasing now was the unique ability of every Mortal Monarch-Stage cultivator, the Monarch Runic Body!"

The moment Baldy said the Monarch Runic Body, the seductive coprse puppet reach the peak and runes with exact image flash in her body!

The moment the runes flash, the pressure emitted by the corpse puppet intensified, making Cole who was floating in the air descend in fast manner. It was fortunate that he recover from the pressure and save himself from slamming in the ground.

However, Cole knew that the situation is turning for worse now. If not because of his Immortal Regal Phoenix Special Physique and bloodline, he might have already injured from the pressure alone.

Thinking of that, he immediately check his surrounding. As he predicted, everyone in the scene was now pasted on the ground and fear was etched in their faces. No one was spared including the disciples of demonic path sects.

Even the berserk man are now weakly sprawled on the ground, his face was ashen as he was now experiencing the backslash of burning his own life force. He was currently holding the token that control the seductive corpse puppet but at that moment, it was currently filled with spider web like cracks.

The token was binded in the seductive corpse puppet but the moment its instinct was stimulated by Cole's blood, it tried to resist the foreign control on her body. Unfortunately, the token seem to be refined when the corpse puppet still had a weak consciousness but now that it grows after a passage of time, the restriction of the token is not enough to restrict anymore.

Furthermore, the holder of the token was just a Peak Nascent Soul-Stage. He can't suppress to obedience the albeit weak consciousness of the Tier-8 Sentient Corpse. He could only watch when the corpse puppet, their supposed to be trump card, is trying to break free from his control.

Seconds later, the token shakes vigorously on the hand of the dying second-in-command disciple of Corpse Refining Sect. Then, as though it can't bear anymore, it exploded into dust and scatter to the air!

"Roar!" The seductive corpse puppet release a beastly cry. Then, as if it was stimulated, the runes on her body flash brighter!

The moment the runes flash brighter, the vegetation in her surrounding immediately wilted and the soil under her feet turns darker and drier as though it was the same with plants, dying!

When the flash of the runes covering the corpse puppets body stabilize, it immediately look at Cole's location and launch itself forward, attacking him!

The seductive corpse puppet found a new found strength. In just a second, the corpse puppet already arrived in front of him!

Cole felt the looming threat of death from its presence. Without a clear thought of doing it, his life instinct make him teleport himself!

However, everytime that he reappear in one place, the corpse puppet could already pinpoint his location through feeling his rich life force. He can't escape from its pursuit!

Furthermore, after the corpse puppet awaken her former [Concept] that she comprehend when she's alive, her coprse energy transform into corpse force and resist the gravitational energy. It could now fly to the air! Cole can't escape even if he teleport himself to the sky since the corpse puppet could follow him there!

He didn't know if he's just skillful at escaping or he's just lucky that he manage to dodge the pursuit of Tier-8 sentient corpse.

However, sooner or later, he have to face a problem but as he expected, it happens sooner! No matter how talented he was compare to cultivators with the same strength as him, his energy reserve can't match someone with Tier-8 base level!

His Peak Nascent Soul Spatial-Energy reserve is near to be depleted!

He immediately send a distress signal to Shiela through the [Edifying Light]!

Shaa~~

The moment he send thr signal, a very cold gust of air cover the whole area, freezing every vegetation and the ground.

Without a doubt, it came from Shiela.

As of now, a more powerful momentum was being released by the female ghost. And the same as the seductive corpse puppet, runes flash from Shiela's whole body. Only, perhaps because she was a ghost, the runes on her body looks nothing but a display. However, there was a single rune in her forehead that release a powerful might!

The gust of cold wind instantly incase the corpse puppet in a thick iceberg. Much to Cole's surprise, despite the powerful corrosive property of the [Concept] of the corpse puppet, it can't melt the ice.

Cole immediately heave a sigh of releaf and distance himself from the seductive corpse puppet and take out a massive amount of Spiritual Stones and try to recover his almost depleted Spatial-Energy. Fortunately, with the aid of his superior cultivation method, he absorb the Spiritual Energy inside the Spiritual Stones.

The red nails of the seductive corpse puppet turns into a shade of green. A very corrosive liquid was released through her nails and corrode the iceberg that encase it. Unfortunately, the [Concept] of ice was more powerful than the [Concept] of corpse, the damage done to the iceberg were immediately healed by the bone chilling aura released by Shiela.

The Peak Tier-8 Corpse Puppet were sealed successfully.

As for Shiela herself, she's currently floating above the iceberg while her eyes are still closed. She's still trying to fully remember her memory when she's alive, particularly the [Concept] she comprehend.

"After being sealed in the Netherworld Ghost Flag for unknown time and her soul was being subjected to soul purging of the water from the Soul Purging Dark Sea, its still amazing that she could remember her forgotten [Concept]. Perhaps a part of her soul still persist on resisting inside the ghost flag. However, a large chunk of her ability is still erased in her soul, otherwise, she will also awaken her ability as Mortal Emperor-Stage cultivator!" Baldy said.

[Concept] was the signature ability of every Void Transcendance cultivator, which was compose of three different stages, the Void Sensing, Void Comprehension and finally, Void Mastery.

After that was the Mortal Monarch-Stage in which the cultivator need to use their own body and inscribed the runes of their fully comprehend [Concept]. It was the creation of Monarch Body.

As for Mortal Emperor-Stage, their signature ability was something called the Imperial Authority! It was a mini domain that covers the cultivator.

There's no explanation needed when it comes to the word Domain. Inside that special area, the cultivator had the absolute control depending on their [Concept]. Of course, the so called absolute control is only effective to weaker opponents or had more inferior Imperial Authority, after all, even the same [Concept] and cultivation method would produce effects differently. There's still someone more powerful.

Without a doubt, the Monarch Body is nothing in front of Imperial Authority. In fact, what Shiela is showcasing now was a part of Imperial Authority. Only, it was only a quasi quality and very weak compare to real Imperial Authority. Or else, the seductive corpse puppet won't even be able to resist and freeze it to true death.
