Gu Yuan felt that the Chen Qi before him seemed merely a lifelike skin, hiding beneath an unfamiliar and terrifying presence!

"Originally, I was just idly wandering around here and unexpectedly discovered such good material like yourself!"

"Chen Qi" stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as his aura suddenly transformed!

Though the person remained the same, his demeanor and commanding presence changed drastically.

At this moment, "Chen Qi" did not show the slightest panic from having his disguise uncovered; instead, he displayed a composed nonchalance, exuding an aura of supremacy.

"Indeed, quite excellent! Solid foundation, robust and thick underpinnings; this is prime material for cultivating Divine Demons."

"Chen Qi" inspected Gu Yuan from head to toe, continuously praising:

"Young Gu, with your talent and cleverness, you're fully qualified to be cultivated into a Yin Demon, to become my clone, and gain the foundation to achieve the status of an Undying Demon in the future."

"Undying Demon?"

Gu Yuan's expression was grave, alarms ringing strongly in his heart: "Who exactly are you?"

In the Demon Dao, there are numerous inheritances. Besides the orthodox Demon Dao method of cultivating into a Pill, there are various other inheritances, including some that follow the path of cultivating one's life into an Undying Demon.

This technique focuses on using one's own or others' blood, flesh, tendons, bones, skin, malicious thoughts, and Divine Soul to cultivate demons and yin entities under one's control.

For instance, White Bone Demon, Ghost of Vengeance, Blood Corpse Demon, Seven Emotions Yin Demon, Greedy Ghost, Miaoyu Celestial Maiden, etc. These types of demons might not be particularly strong initially, forming the nascent shape of an Undying Demon.

As one continues cultivating step by step, they eventually become dragons or elephants with great power, Earth-covering Divine Corpse, or Miaoyu Celestial Maiden types of Undying Demons, whose divine techniques are no different from real Divine Demons, capable of the power to move mountains and seas, and grasp stars and moons.

The Undying Demon is an entity at the Yin Spirit level; the "Chen Qi" before him speaks casually of demons and Undying Demons, definitely not a simple character!

"You ask who I am?"

"Chen Qi" displayed a thoughtful expression, pondered, and calmly said:

"I have many names, such as Three Corpses Old Man, Three Corpses Old Fiend, and Three Corpses True Monarch..."

"As for now... I am Chen Qi. After all, I've already stolen his memories, acquired his personality and will, replaced his identity, and controlled his flesh..."

Three Corpses Old Man!

Gu Yuan's heart sank.

Primordial Nether Sect's elder, an accumulated old demon, a few months ago blood-sacrificed a small town, committing atrocities of immense evil!

This matter he naturally heard of.

It's said this person excels at the Cloning Technique, one hand proficient in Three Corpses God Magic with overwhelming demon power, the Three Corpses Demon, respectively known as Good Corpse Demon, Evil Corpse Demon, and Executor Corpse Demon.

Reportedly, each Divine Demon is comparable to a Golden Core Great Cultivator, and combined, unless it's the Upper Grade Immortal Dao True Inheritance, or a high monk of the Buddhist Sect who crafted a Vajra Relic, one cannot possibly conquer this demon!

Especially hearing the other say he's already stolen Old Chen's memories, acquired his personality and will, replaced his identity, and controlled his flesh made Gu Yuan's heart cold.

That semi-mentor, semi-friend Old Chen is already deceased, the current Chen Qi might have already become an unfamiliar old demon inside Old Chen's shell.

"So, it's Senior Three Corpses. The Celestial Demon Seizing Dao technique Old Chen once obtained should be your doing."

Gu Yuan's gaze turned icy.

"This matter is unrelated to me."

Three Corpses Old Man shook his head: "Besides, you misunderstand. My Demon Dao cultivation technique Daoist scriptures don't keep secrets like Orthodox Techniques, often proactively transmitting externally, if not for the Immortal and Buddha Dao intentionally preventing this, the entire world would have been my Demon Dao's domain long ago."

"However, within our Demon Techniques, there are usually many ambushes and hidden dangers."

"While this boy surnamed Chen's Celestial Demon Seizing Dao technique is indeed profound, it also granted me an opportunity. I fragmented a thread of thought concealed within his heart, incessantly stirring his inner miscellaneous thoughts and desires, ultimately tainting him, transforming him into a clone."

Speaking thus far, Three Corpses Old Man laughed with deep meaning: "However... I've reviewed this boy surnamed Chen's memories and found that he treats you quite well?"

Gu Yuan's face remained stern as water, saying nothing.

"What? Looking at you like this, are you planning to kill me to avenge him?"

Three Corpses Old Man laughed heartily upon seeing:

"Then you are mistaken, strictly speaking, Chen Qi isn't dead, nor did I kill him. Now, I am Chen Qi, Chen Qi is also me. If you want to kill me, then you're killing Chen Qi..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan paused slightly, feeling a surge of hesitation. If what the other said was true, wouldn't Old Chen still have hope?

For Three Corpses Old Man, if Old Chen himself was insignificant, then surely, by paying a certain price, Old Chen could be rescued?

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, Gu Yuan instinctively sensed something was amiss.

"Wait, Old Chen is clearly dead, why would I entertain such thoughts?"

"Besides, Three Corpses Old Man is an accumulated old demon most sly and treacherous, absolutely cannot be trusted, I'd be mad to negotiate with a tiger!"

Realizing the issue, the silver bracelet on Gu Yuan's wrist "zheng" sprang out, transforming into a sharp and bright Silver Flying Sword, emitting a clear and pure sound, invisibly dissipating the faint black aura behind his mind.

As soon as the black aura disappeared, Gu Yuan's mind suddenly became clear, his previously slightly wavering thoughts became firm.

Unbeknownst to him, he had fallen into the other's trap! He almost let the opponent stir his thoughts, performing actions against his own heart leading to self-destruction.

"Deserving of being an accumulated old demon, I've been secretly guarding yet still got caught off guard."

Gu Yuan's expression remained indifferent, the cold air emitted from the surrounding Silver Flood Dragon Sword intensified:

"But what you said doesn't resonate with me, without self, is it still a living person? In my eyes, Chen Qi is already dead, even if alive, how is that any different from a living corpse?"

"That boy He Ling indeed gave you a good thing."

Chen Qi glanced at the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, displaying no alarm or caution, shaking his head indifferently:

"Unfortunately, this sword can sever Refined Gold Iron Mother, end lives, yet can't sever Three Corpses Demon of mine."

"Boy, though I have not come in my true form, I'm not something you, a small fry who hasn't cultivated Divine Techniques, can handle."

"Originally I thought of not harming you a bit, to cultivate you into a complete Yin Demon, but since you're unwilling, the old me will have to act personally. Such a pity for your excellent foundation!"

While speaking, Chen Qi's hand reached forth.

Threads of black aura rose, bizarrely rolling and boiling, transforming into a demonic claw as large as a grinding disc, grabbing fiercely.

This demonic claw entwined with black aura, revealing spots of ghost fire within, its force evil and domineering, like a hand reaching out from hell.
