Space God-Demon hesitated.
He had never heard of this Three Corpses Severing Method... How could he try it so casually?
What if it was not a method for advancing to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but a method that weakened him instead? Who would he complain to then?
"Slaughter, why don't you try it yourself? Why make me try? Do you think I'm stupid?" Space stared at Slaughter and spoke coldly.
"Among the four of us, only you and Time can easily sever your evil corpses. Should I let Destruction and me try instead?" Slaughter God-Demon said in an unquestionable tone. "Then how about we fight, and whoever is weakest will try!"
"Heh, your evil corpse is hard to sever. Don't tell me your good corpse is hard to sever too? A creature like you—don't tell me you're so kind-hearted." Time God-Demon, who had been mentioned, looked displeased.
Those words immediately woke Slaughter and Destruction up.
They had plenty of evil thoughts...
But good thoughts... It was not that they had none, but they were indeed exceedingly scarce.
"Kid, does this Three Corpses Severing Method have any required order?" Destruction asked coldly.
"Basically, no. Generally speaking, whichever corpse is easier to sever should be severed first," Chu Yi answered.
He was certain that the God-Demons would never be able to resist the temptation of attaining the Dao.
They would definitely cultivate it.
It was just that these God-Demons all had their reservations and did not want to take risks lightly.
Still, they would compromise.
"Fine! Then I'll be the first to sever the three corpses!" Destruction agreed to it. "Kid, if you deceive me, you know the consequences."
Then Destruction turned his gaze toward the other three God-Demons.
"Three of you, I'm risking myself here. Shouldn't you show something? What if I sever a corpse, my strength falls, and you devour me?"
Time, Space, and Slaughter exchanged looks before swearing Dao oaths.
"We swear to the Great Dao that if Destruction severs a corpse and his strength declines, we will never make a move against Destruction, and we will protect Destruction as he safely leaves this place.
"If we violate this oath, we shall all vanish into smoke and dust, returning to Chaos!"
As soon as the three made their oaths, invisible shackles descended through Chaos and settled upon them.
Seeing this, Destruction God-Demon did not waste any more words. He immediately took out his innate supreme treasure—the Destruction Millstone!
Naturally, he brought out this treasure to serve as the vessel for his three corpses.
The Destruction Millstone hovered above his head. He sat cross-legged in the void of Chaos and began severing his corpse.
No one knew how much time passed.
Destruction remained motionless.
The other three God-Demons also entered meditation and cultivated on their own.
Chaos was still as water, unbearably oppressive.
Suddenly, a marvelous fluctuation appeared around Destruction.
He had successfully severed his good corpse.
Yet his aura had not grown stronger. Instead, it had weakened.
Boom!
Destruction abruptly opened his eyes.
The Law of Destruction materialized around him, while the innate supreme treasure, the Destruction Millstone, emitted a dazzling radiance.
"Kid, you dared deceive me!"
With that, the Law of Destruction blasted directly toward the embryo.
The Chaos Pearl shone brilliantly, and the power of space shifted Destruction's attack into another space.
The other three God-Demons also awakened.
Having learned the truth, the three were furious as well!
"How ridiculous. We were actually toyed with by an embryo." The killing aura around Slaughter God-Demon exploded.
Is that really what happened?
Chu Yi was still somewhat uneasy inside.
The gap in strength was simply too great.
He continued, "Could this be an act put on by Destruction? He simply does not want you to cultivate this method too, so that he can dominate alone."
This calmed Slaughter and the other two God-Demons down.
Their gazes turned in unison toward Destruction God-Demon.
"What are you looking at? I'll swear a Heavenly Dao oath as well. If my strength increased because I severed a corpse, may I die a horrible death." Destruction immediately vouched for himself.
The moment he finished speaking, the three God-Demons turned their gazes back to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi chuckled. "It is normal for your strength to decline after severing a corpse... Improving your strength is not the purpose of severing the corpses. Your purpose is to comprehend the Great Dao!
"Destruction, do you dare swear a Great Dao oath that, after severing a corpse, your comprehension of the Great Dao has not risen by a level?"
Swish, swish, swish.
The three God-Demons turned their gazes back to Destruction God-Demon.
"This..."
Destruction God-Demon did not dare say another word.
It was true. After severing a corpse, his comprehension of the Great Dao had deepened. His Dao heart had become more complete, and most importantly, his primordial spirit's affinity with the Great Dao had increased tremendously!
"What do you mean, 'this'? You're hemming and hawing. So you wanted to monopolize this cultivation method!"
"Once you reach the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future, you'll be able to devour us whenever you want... Isn't that right, Destruction?!"
Slaughter God-Demon was furious and nearly charged forward to kill him.
But he had sworn a Great Dao oath and could not make a move against him.
"Brother Destruction, that was truly too unethical of you." Time God-Demon was displeased as well.
Space God-Demon said, "Exactly. This fellow is far too vicious."
"Severing the three corpses is done to refine a flawless primordial spirit. The fewer obsessions the primordial spirit has, the deeper its comprehension of the Great Dao will become. Once you sever all three corpses and then unite them as one, you can attain the Dao!" Chu Yi said upon seeing this.
"Since the Three Corpses Severing Method works, then... there is no need for you to continue existing." Destruction suddenly spoke.
The little embryo was the one with the most schemes. With just a few words, he could make the other three target him. Destruction absolutely could not leave him alive.
Upon hearing this, Slaughter and the other three... turned their gazes toward Chu Yi in unison again.
Damn it... tossing aside the mule after grinding the grain? Chu Yi cursed inwardly before saying, "You don't think I'm that foolish, do you?"
"What do you mean?" Space asked.
"I passed the Three Corpses Severing Method on to you, but all the details are in my head. If you kill me... who will help you resolve any problems you encounter in the future?" Chu Yi's voice carried a hint of smugness.
The expressions of all four God-Demons changed drastically.
"Hehe, little friend." Destruction God-Demon put on a fawning smile. "Little friend, I was merely joking with you just now. Please don't take it to heart."
"Little friend, don't be angry." Space God-Demon smiled as well. "Destruction has always been this irritating."
Hehe, weren't you going to kill me?
Why have all of you put on such ridiculous looks?
I still prefer how arrogant and unyielding you were, when you treated me like an ant.
"You should leave first. My big brother is about to emerge from seclusion," Chu Yi said with a smile. "I promise you that once I am born in the future, I can answer three questions for each of you."
"Yes, yes, little friend is right. We'll go into seclusion first."
The four God-Demons all responded with smiling faces.
Then Space God-Demon unfolded the power of space and vanished with the other three.
"They've finally been fooled into leaving."
Chu Yi rejoiced inwardly.
This information would spread before long.
By then, all three thousand God-Demons would sever their three corpses... weakening themselves...
Then his big brother would be able to kill them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for driving away the four God-Demons. Reward obtained: Primordial Origin Pivot Pearl!] [Primordial Origin Pivot Pearl: A Chaos supreme treasure containing black-and-white primordial origin light and bearing the source of Chaos! It does not favor killing, nor cling to Yin-Yang; it governs origin, return, order, and the tracing of causes.]
At that moment, the system's voice rang out in Chu Yi's mind.
