Encountering Mordor Again
Upon seeing the massive Rock Wall beside him, Li Wei had a thought and raised his hand to press down. The primordial spirit did the same, actually imitating Li Wei by using the 'Extreme Cloud Piercing Palm'. A huge palm print, with a diameter of over a hundred meters, was unleashed and slammed heavily onto the Rock Wall.
Bang!
The earth shook violently, and the Rock Wall was dented a hundred meters deep, leaving a huge handprint, like the handprint of a god. Seeing this, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. The power of this palm strike was at least a hundred times stronger than when he used it before. If he had used his primordial spirit to fight from the beginning, he believed he could have easily dealt with the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable.
Having withdrawn the massive primordial spirit from above his head, Li Wei examined the star system within his body. Having absorbed the power of the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable, he had condensed three more star bodies, bringing the total to twenty-one circulating within his body's star system. Thus, Li Wei's combat power had increased once again, leaving him only three stars away from reaching the twenty-four Star Emperor level.
"The power gained from this devouring is indeed faster than what I could achieve through arduous cultivation. If I wanted to rely on my own strength to cultivate and condense three stars, I don't know when it would take. It's much more convenient to rob them!" Li Wei was in high spirits. This time, he had a great harvest. Not only did he obtain the power of three stars, but he also obtained a precious primordial spirit. With his primordial spirit, his combat power increased dramatically. Moreover, even if his physical body was destroyed, he could survive by relying on his primordial spirit, just like Mordor.
However, the primordial spirit needs a physical body to nurture it, which is why Mordor urgently needs to retrieve his physical body. These are the principles that Li Wei comprehended after obtaining the primordial spirit.
Next, Li Wei plans to continue searching for ruins, challenging gods and demons, and constantly strengthening himself.
At that moment, a wave of energy emanated from the area, Li Wei clearly sensed two powerful auras approaching.
Soon, the Rock Wall above them cracked open, and a huge fleshy worm emerged. The worm was terrified, as if it were fleeing from someone's pursuit. After it appeared, it clearly saw Li Wei, paused for a moment, and then actually fell straight down towards Li Wei.
Almost instantly, a thought surged into Li Wei's mind, "Friend, help! Help!"
The worm was clearly terrified, its voice filled with panic. Li Wei remained still, but was already on high alert. Soon, from the crack in the Rock Wall from which the worm emerged, clusters of light suddenly appeared, like liquid, radiating an extremely powerful aura. Then, these clusters of light formed a human figure, floating in the air, as if ruling the world.
"Mordor?"
Li Wei's pupils contracted, not expecting that the powerful figure chasing the flesh worm was Mordor. What a small world! Looking at the flesh worm again, it was clearly exhausted. It could sense the powerful energy emanating from Li Wei, so it darted over and hid behind Li Wei.
Li Wei could more or less guess the identity of this flesh worm. In the Godslayer Alliance, the four Star King level beings were Daluo Fan, Jialuo, Jade Bone Madam, and Heaven Corpse. The An Hei Intelligence Network had already thoroughly investigated the strength and special skills of these four. Li Wei had met Jade Bone Madam and had subdued her. Daluo Fan and Jialuo obviously did not have the ability to transform into flesh worms. That left only Heaven Corpse.
It is said that this Heaven Corpse possesses a body of ten thousand poisons, and its physical strength is second only to the Pluto King. Anyone bitten by it, even an S9-level expert, will be turned into a demonic corpse. It is said that the Heaven Corpse's greatest strength is its army of 100,000 demonic corpses with combat power of S5 level or above. This army of demonic corpses is invincible, destroying vegetation and killing people and animals wherever it goes. Relying on this army of 100,000 demonic corpses, even a Star King-level expert like Daluo Fan would not dare to clash with it.
In addition, the Heaven Corpse possesses the special ability of rebirth from a corpse embryo; as long as the corpse embryo escapes, it will not die.
Looking back at the fleshy worm, Li Wei realized that this was very likely the corpse embryo of the Heaven Corpse.
This Heaven Corpse was unlucky enough to encounter Mordor, and the two engaged in a life-or-death battle. In the end, the Heaven Corpse was defeated and had no choice but to escape as a corpse fetus. However, it could not escape Mordor's eyes and was eventually chased here.
"If I devour this Heaven Corpse, I wonder how many stars it could help me condense!" Li Wei turned back to look at the Heaven Corpse embryo, a terrifying glint in his eyes.
Upon seeing Li Wei's expression, the Heaven Corpse, now transformed into a flesh worm, felt uneasy. How could it not see Li Wei's thoughts at that moment? He was probably plotting to devour him.
"That Mordor used soul-searching magic to search my body, but found nothing. That's when he discovered that I escaped using the Corpse Embryo Method, which is why he chased after me. If he catches me, I'd rather die than live. My hatred for him is irreconcilable. The person in front of me is incredibly powerful, even stronger than the Daluo Fan. That's right... it must be Li Wei from Earth Star who recently joined the Alliance. If I join him, maybe I'll still have a chance to survive!" The Heaven Corpse's mind raced, many thoughts flashing through its head. Finally, it hardened its heart, opened its huge mouth, and spat out a dazzling crystal, throwing it towards Li Wei.
"Li Wei, I know you are a new member of the Alliance. Li Wei are allies, and I hope you can help me through this calamity. I know you won't believe me, so I'm entrusting you with my life-bound corpse crystal and swearing to be loyal to you from now on and never betray you. If I have any disloyal thoughts, you can destroy the corpse crystal, and I will be reduced to ashes and completely annihilated!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei was taken aback, then reached out and grabbed the dazzling corpse crystal.
Upon penetrating the Corpse Crystal with his divine sense, Li Wei knew that what the Heaven Corpse had said was true. With this Corpse Crystal, he would be able to control the Heaven Corpse. In other words, as long as he agreed, he would have a Star King-level subordinate in the future.
Did he need to think too much about such a good thing? Not at all. Li Wei agreed immediately. Then, with a wave of his hand, a surge of true energy swept the Heaven Corpse Worm into his Copper Pot World. Only then did he look up at the sky, gazing at Mordor above.
When Mordor, who had solidified into human form, saw someone below who had taken the Heaven Corpse Embryo, he was furious. However, when he saw what that person looked like, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what was going on.
"It's you?"
Now, Mordor finally understood why these people were in his mission world.
"The Rule Codex... The Rule Codex, I never expected you would use it to secretly infiltrate my Divine Ruins World, intending to assassinate me? You think you're so great just because you've broken through to the Star King level? You think a Star King can do anything to me? How naive! But since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I will eliminate you and reclaim the Rule Codex!"
Mordor sneered repeatedly, then raised his hand, and a crimson ball of light appeared in his palm, transforming into a red lotus. Mordor then tossed the red lotus away, and it suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Red Lotus Fury, burn this man to ashes!"
As soon as Mordor's voice rang out, Li Wei felt an intense heat emanating from the top of his head. The crimson lotus had appeared above him without him even noticing, only two or three meters away.
"Magic teleportation? It's really powerful!" Li Wei was shocked, but he was prepared. His right hand transformed into a huge ghost hand, which was actually the Ghost Claw artifact that the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable's Nine-Skull Artifact had transformed into.
The enormous ghostly hand met the crimson lotus and grabbed it directly.
"This... this is?" Mordor's expression changed when he saw the ghostly hand in the air. He could sense that it was a demonic artifact, a real demonic artifact.
Only true gods and demons can forge divine and demonic artifacts, and only the primordial spirits of gods and demons can wield such powerful tools.
"Damn it, this kid actually obtained the inheritance! He deserves to die!" Mordor exclaimed in shock. Just then, the enormous Ghost Claw grasped the crimson fire lotus in its hand. Then, the veins on the Ghost Claw bulged, and with a powerful squeeze, the crimson fire lotus was completely crushed by the Ghost Claw with a 'bang'. A lot of Red Flame flew out, some of which landed on the ground, immediately causing fire to rise up. The rocks on the ground were directly liquefied and turned into magma.
The demonic Ghost Claw, however, remained completely undamaged.
"Boy, you've obtained an inheritance?" Mordor gritted his teeth. He knew that if the opponent were an ordinary Star King, he wouldn't be afraid at all; a few forbidden spells would be enough to suppress him completely. But since the opponent had obtained an inheritance, it was a different story.
In the Divine Ruins, there are two kinds of inheritance. One is the inheritance of the physical body. The inheritor obtains the physical body of a powerful god or demon, and stands between heaven and earth, extremely powerful. The Pluto King had obtained the inheritance of the 'Pluto King's Physical Body', which is why he had such a powerful body. So much so that he could only seal the Pluto King, but could not completely kill him.
Another type of inheritance, even more powerful than physical inheritance, is the inheritance of the primordial spirit.
The inheritance of the primordial spirit, obtaining the primordial spirit of a god or demon, is equivalent to having another life. Once the primordial spirit is released, countless great laws and supernatural abilities can be used with a wave of the hand, and the power is increased by dozens or even hundreds of times. Mordor himself obtained the inheritance of the 'Arcane God's Primordial Spirit', which is why he has achieved what he has today.
He knew that if this kid in front of him obtained the primordial spirit inheritance of a god or demon, things would be troublesome.
"What kind of primordial spirit did he obtain? If it's stronger than my Arcane God's Primordial Spirit, then I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with this brat today!" Mordor immediately looked around and soon discovered the Hall of Myriad Ghosts. After he saw the runes on the Hall of Myriad Ghosts, he finally understood.
"It's the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable, the Demon Lord's inheritance. Thank goodness, it's not the Demon God's inheritance. Although there's only a one-word difference between Demon Lord and Demon Lord, they are worlds apart. If it's just the Demon Lord's primordial spirit, then it's not even as good as my Arcane God's Primordial Spirit. However, even so, killing him now will be a difficult task!" Mordor breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he absolutely could not let Li Wei leave today. Otherwise, if this kid was extremely lucky and obtained some kind of divine or demonic inheritance, then he really wouldn't be able to suppress him.
A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, Mordor suddenly unleashed the magical power of his Arcane God's Primordial Spirit. Instantly, the magical power surged forth, dazzling like the sun.
