I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

Chapter 466: The House Was Stolen

"When I was young, I had the honor of seeing the holy face of the Demon Saint. But at that time, the Demon Saint was at the peak of his power and he certainly would not remember a little demon like me."

The old spider spirit responded politely and then retreated back into the cave.

It seemed as if he came out just to say hello to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo did not think much about it. From the moment he entered this place, he put aside the tasks at hand of all his external brains. Five hundred and eighty external brains were monitoring him in all directions without blind spots. Even if the old spider wanted to harm him, it was impossible for him to avoid so many eyes, not to mention that Brother Changqing was in charge inside.

After leaving Qiansi Cave, Chen Luo returned the same way.

When he passed by the green pond again, the fish monster in it just glanced at him from a distance and then retreated back. The fact that he could return from the Thousand Silk Cave intact was enough to prove his identity.

"Fortunately I didn't act rashly before. This job of gatekeeping is becoming increasingly difficult."

The fish monster muttered and dived into the water.

Cliff City.

Wuxiang Temple, Chen Luo descended from the sky with the demon cloud. The temple was exactly the same as when Chen Luo left, with an ancient and quaint atmosphere, and the temple was full of incense. Ever since Wu Zang made up his mind to seal off the city, this place has become a paradise for demons, and a large number of demons gather here every day.

Many of these demons were wandering demons, and they regarded Chen Luo as a "demon saint" and were ready to join him. This situation was very common in the demon world. With the human race being so powerful, the weak demons had to find a backer, only in this way could they avoid being killed by human cultivators.

"Um?"

As soon as he landed, Chen Luo felt something was wrong.

Wuxiang Temple was exceptionally quiet today. When he left, all the little demons who were drinking and bragging in the courtyard disappeared, and the "meat and vegetables" that were locked in the temple by the five internal organs also disappeared.

"Any guests?"

Chen Luo released his own aura and began to look for the whereabouts of the hedgehog spirit and the five internal organs. He didn't remember the remaining disciples, and he was too lazy to remember. The old devil had too many disciples, and most of them were his experimental subjects, and he had no feelings at all.

Chen Luo stopped when he reached the incense burner.

Snap

A crisp sound came from under his feet. He looked down and found that the blue bricks under his feet had turned into mirrors and were crushed into pieces by him. An eye appeared on Xiang Dingding's body. This eye was like a Dharma eye, and it emitted a dazzling golden light as soon as it appeared.

Under the cover of this golden light, Chen Luo only felt that the speed of the demonic energy in his body had slowed down a lot.

Since he came to this world, he had only come into contact with demon monks and only knew the methods of demons. At present, the power in his body was the same type as that of the Peng Bird Demon Saint.

"Array?"

Looking at the Dharma Eye in front of him, the brain in his external brain that was proficient in formations quickly became active. The formations in this world were completely different from the formations Chen Luo had come into contact with before, but all the formations were based on the power of heaven and earth.

Using the power of heaven and earth against personal power, this is the core of the formation.

The formation in front of him was based on this logic. Chen Luo couldn't read the formation pattern on the cauldron, but that didn't stop him from studying it from the basics. With the help of the brain of the Baixian Cave formation master, Chen Luo's sensitivity to the formation was far beyond that of ordinary formation masters.

"A strong human? You came at the right time."

Chen Luo stretched out his hand and twisted a floor tile, and a breath of air was brought up by him. With the help of the external brain, he quickly analyzed the cause and effect.

After figuring out the reason, Chen Luo turned around and walked out of Wuxiang Temple without saying a word.

He definitely couldn't go inside the temple. Knowing that the enemy had set up a formation there to wait for him, it would be the most foolish thing to do to rush in. He didn't have such a deep relationship with the hedgehog monster and the five zang disciples, and it was impossible for him to fight for them. Not to mention the remaining little monsters, he could only let them leave it to fate and wish for the best.

The people in Wuxiang Temple did not expect Chen Luo to leave so decisively, and for a moment they did not know how to respond.

"Isn't he the Demon Saint? Why doesn't he come in? There are so many of his subordinates in here."

"It is precisely because he is a demon saint that he is difficult to deal with! This kind of demon is extremely cunning, and we must never use our human minds to figure him out."

"He doesn't even care about his own apprentice. He is so cold-blooded!"

"Let him go out. Senior Brother has set up a net outside that will surely trap this demon!"

Several voices sounded in the darkness.

They all used telepathy, which only their own people could hear. It just so happened that Chen Luo's second brother Qiu Yuan was proficient in this method, and with a little trickery, he let Chen Luo know their location and heard their conversation.

There really is an ambush!

When he reached the door, Chen Luo looked back and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking the people inside.

Walk to the outside of Wuxiang Temple.

A gust of cold wind blew, lifting Chen Luo's robe.

The long street was empty, without a single person in sight.

As soon as he went out, Chen Luo saw four swords! Four swords stained with demon blood were hung at the four directions of the gate of Wuxiang Temple. The swords were filled with evil spirits, and each one was a sharp weapon for slaying demons. Someone had set up a formation outside, and the other party had planned everything since Chen Luo returned to Cliff City.

Human cultivators are not fools.

They were able to defeat the demon race because of their own abilities. As the "demon leader", Chen Luo was taken advantage of by these human cultivators and naturally fell into a passive position.

"It's just a small formation!"

Chen Luo didn’t understand the formation patterns outside, but he could tell the strength of the formation.

He raised his right hand, and a circle of dark brown flames appeared in his hand. As the demonic aura appeared, the temperature around him immediately dropped by several degrees. The demon face in the center of the flame was distorted, and its strange laughter echoed in the long street.

'Bottom right, ninth brick!'

The Baixian Cave formation master found the weak point in the shortest time. Chen Luo raised his hand, and the dark brown flame in his hand turned into a demonic dragon, which crashed onto the floor tiles.

boom!

The surrounding space twisted, and the four magic swords hanging at the door seemed to have been severely damaged. The sword bodies became dim and cracks appeared on the blades.

The black fire that smashed the floor tiles spun around and flew back into Chen Luo's hand, without wasting any demonic energy.

This is not some magical power, but a method of using demonic energy that Chen Luo figured out using his external brain.

It is his own unique method.

After breaking the formation, Chen Luo walked to the side and put the four trophies into the Dongtian Gourd. When he touched the fourth magic sword, Chen Luo saw a trace of blood on the sword. It was the blood of the eldest disciple's five internal organs.

As the first disciple transformed by the old devil, Wu Zang naturally would not die so easily.

If he really had only these means, he would not have been able to develop to this extent in Cliff City and build a temple right under the noses of the human race.

"Get out if you're not dead."

Chen Luo put one hand behind his back and looked around, looking at a house next to him. The aura of the five internal organs was inside, and not only the five internal organs, but also the aura of the hedgehog spirit and several other disciples were in the house.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the house.

No one opened the door and no one responded to Chen Luo's words.

Chen Luo's eyes flickered, and he turned around and walked out of the city. As long as he left the range of the formation, he could escape and ascend to heaven. Then he could touch the brain of a human cultivator, and the two camps would switch constantly, and he wouldn't have to be as passive as he is now.

"You are really cold-blooded."

When Chen Luo turned around and left, a voice finally came from inside the house.

The people inside didn't expect Chen Luo to be so cautious.

According to their information, Peng Bird Demon Saint is arrogant by nature. He doesn't care about the life or death of his disciples, but he cares most about his own face. To deal with him, you just need to use a little provocation. These contents are all recorded in the sect's books, but for some reason they have lost their effect.

The 'Peng Bird Demon Saint' in front of him was as cold-blooded as recorded in the sect, except for his temper.

Being overly cautious.

There is no aura of a 'Demon Saint' at all.

"Since you are not coming, then I will invite you in. I just don't know if you, the reincarnated demon saint, have regained some of your spirit."

The voice is faint.

The Sword Controlling Sect cultivator who was in charge of dealing with the Cliff City was not very strong, and like Chen Luo, he was at the Nascent Soul stage.

The incident at Cliff City was an emergency. He only found out that the place was occupied by the Demon Saint after he came here. After breaking the blockade of the Five Internal Organs and the Hedgehog Spirit, he sent a message for help to the sect. Unfortunately, the sect was too far away and couldn't get here in a short time.

In order to prevent the big demon from escaping, the sect gave him a task, asking him to hold down the old demon at all costs.

It is for this purpose that the monks from the Sword Controlling Sect have been luring Chen Luo outside, trying to trick him into the formation.

Buzz!!

The brilliant light shone, and unfamiliar array patterns lit up from the ground. The void and the sky all had corresponding array patterns. These array patterns were like chains, cutting the surrounding area into countless small cubes. These small cubes were like building blocks, folded and twisted by an invisible hand.

Chen Luo stayed where he was, quickly recording the array patterns with his eyes. Facing an unknown array, the most correct approach was to wait and see and look for the center of the array.

"Strange fourth-order formation"

By the time the formation pattern disappeared, the surrounding scene had completely changed.

What was in front of me was no longer the long street outside Wuxiang Temple, but a charity cemetery.

The dilapidated charity cemetery was full of weeds, and half-human-high thorn bushes had grown through the walls from outside. The blue bricks on the ground were cracked, and mud seeped up from below. The dilapidated wooden boards kept making creaking sounds in the wind.

Chen Luo looked around. He knew that the area he was in must be the most dangerous point in the formation. The other party had gone to such great lengths to move him here, and it was definitely not to send him out of the city.

After confirming that there was no danger, Chen Luo walked inside the charity cemetery.

The brains of a group of formation masters quickly comprehended the formation patterns they had seen before, looking for the "life gate" of this formation.

Squeak

The wooden door opened automatically.

Inside were two rows of black coffins. These coffins were placed on long-legged benches, one in front and one in the back. The surrounding walls were mottled, and diamond-shaped rays of light shone down from the broken roof tiles. One of them just shone on the black coffin in the center.

This black coffin is different from all the other coffins. The paint on its surface is very new, as if it was made not long ago. (End of this chapter)
