Li Shiming left his clone Li Yuanba in this cave. He had not allowed Li Yuanba to leave him before, mainly because the environment for cultivating immortals in Dongqi Continent was too good and the danger level was also higher.
Li Yuanba, a swordsman in the late Jindan stage, is in need of seclusion and hard training, and does not need any additional resources for the time being.
This time, after finding a safe place to practice, Li Yuanba finally left his original body, Li Shiming.
Li Shiming used the technique of "A World Away Yet" to leave the cave, and looked at the pool of water below from the air. If he had not experienced it himself, he would not have believed that this pool of water was connected to a cave with amazing defenses.
When he left, he also set up a hidden formation at the place where the stone lion was, so that even if a cultivator found that place, they would not be able to discover anything.
His purpose was different from that of his original master, the Nether Emperor. He did not want other cultivators to discover the cave at all, while the Nether Emperor deliberately left clues to make it easier for cultivators to find the cave according to the map.
Flying in the air, Li Shiming took out the mustard seed ring of the Emperor of the Underworld and entered his spiritual consciousness into it.
There are not many items in the mustard seed ring, just a jet-black fourth-grade flying sword, which is slightly different in style from ordinary flying swords and can be used by cultivators as a handheld sword.
This jet-black fourth-grade flying sword carries an aura similar to the black bones of a refined corpse.
When Li Shiming saw this flying sword magic weapon, the first thing he thought of was whether it was prepared by the original owner for corpse refining.
It does not mean that corpses cannot use weapons. Melee magic weapons are weapons that can be used by corpses.
But in fact, the most suitable thing for corpse refining is the magic weapon, which is refined by evil means. It is more compatible with the yin and cold energy, and is extremely powerful when used in the hands of corpse refiners.
Li Shiming did not have the means to refine a magic weapon. Refining a magic weapon and refining a weapon normally are two completely different methods of refining a weapon.
Of course, even if he had the method to refine magic weapons, he would not do so.
Magical weapons usually require extremely cruel means, using the life or soul of a living being for sacrifice. Although he does not have many scruples in his actions, he still has moral standards.
He took out the jet-black fourth-grade flying sword, and as soon as he touched it, he was sure that it was a fourth-grade magic sword.
After the refined corpse is upgraded to a golden corpse, you can use this fourth-grade magic sword.
Since this was not a fourth-grade magic sword he had refined himself, he had no psychological burden in using it.
He also found a dark golden jade slip. It turned out that the Netherworld Emperor did not lie and he did indeed master the inherited skills of the Sun-Shattering Sect.
The only difference is that this technique is already in the mustard seed ring and does not need to be copied again.
It can be seen that the Emperor of the Underworld still had some thoughts in mind at that time, and it is possible that he wanted to tamper with the martial arts.
Li Shiming's consciousness entered the jade slip. With his Nascent Soul stage, he could view all the contents in the jade slip.
In a moment, the content was copied into the life magic weapon IBMz15, and this "Sun-Covering Corpse Refining Method" was analyzed and studied by IBMz15.
He was not confident about learning this technique directly as he didn't know if there were any traps in it.
Even after being analyzed by IBMz15, he would only absorb the useful parts and would not specialize in this technique.
There was no other spiritual object in the mustard seed ring that was worthy of his attention. Perhaps over a very long period of time, all that should have been consumed had been consumed, and only this little thing was left.
Li Shiming summoned the corpse. He felt that the spell he added to the corpse could not last much longer.
"I really have a destiny with the heavenly calamity!" He shook his head and sighed.
He removed the magic spell on the corpse and took out a golden corpse core and gave it to the corpse to take.
This refined corpse is extremely powerful. He hopes that after the refined corpse is promoted to the golden corpse, it can inherit the speed of the cave heaven golden corpse like the golden corpse Nanming.
The bottleneck that was originally loosening in the corpse refining process accelerated after the ingestion of the golden corpse core.
However, unlike the Golden Corpse Nanming, the Golden Corpse Nanming was unable to completely absorb the Golden Corpse's core energy at that time, and finally relied on the Golden Corpse's core energy to fight against the heavenly calamity.
However, the body of this refined corpse was too powerful, and the energy of the golden corpse's core was quickly consumed.
After only an hour, most of the energy in the golden corpse's core had been devoured.
At this time, the bottleneck in the corpse refining completely disappeared, the corpse pill began to transform into a corpse core, and its whole body also changed from silver to gold.
A somewhat mutated corpse refining rune appeared on the corpse core inside the golden corpse. This was a mutated version of the universal rune that all golden corpses had. It was the first time he had seen it. There was also a speed rune inherited from the golden corpse's core.
In addition, there is a strange black rune, which is inherited from the magic skills cultivated by the corpse refiner.
Li Shiming has read it. This is not what is recorded in the 'Sun-Covering Corpse Refining Method'. This corpse was indeed refined using the 'Sun-Covering Corpse Refining Method', but the magic skills practiced by the main body have nothing to do with this method.
I think the mutated corpse refining rune is the unique rune expression of the 'Sun-Covering Corpse Refining Method'.
The three runes represent three abilities, which is the same as the corpse refining Nanming.
Of course, the most critical thing is not the present, but the natural disaster that will come later.
The refined corpse was finally promoted to a golden corpse, its whole body glowing with golden light, and its aura was several times stronger than that of Nanming, the golden corpse that had been promoted for some time.
This is the difference in the original body. The strongest point of Lian Shi Nan Ming is not in his realm. Lian Shi Nan Ming's original body is a fusion of a Qi Refining cultivator and his Nascent Soul. In terms of realm, he can only be considered as being in the Qi Refining stage.
This golden corpse is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is also a demon cultivator who has practiced magic skills to improve his body.
The most important point is that the one who refined it into a refined corpse was the demon cultivator himself.
Who could understand his situation better than himself? So when he was refining the corpse, he took into account his own cultivation method and the special condition of his body. He himself was born in a big sect like the Yanri Sect, so he had enough secret techniques of the magic sect to use.
Finally, he managed to refine such a top-grade corpse. Compared with Li Shiming, the Emperor of the Netherworld was the most professional. At least in the art of corpse refining, Li Shiming could not compare with the Emperor of the Netherworld except for his luck.
Li Shiming discovered that thunderclouds were gathering in the sky, so he quickly stepped aside.
As his consciousness moved slightly, Mu Lei Yuanying appeared. Mu Lei Yuanying held up the Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer in his little hand and cast a spell to increase the golden corpse's resistance to lightning.
Using Sky-Strike Thunder Hammer to cast this spell can greatly increase the effect.
Li Shiming only hoped that this heavenly calamity would not be too powerful, otherwise he would have to intervene.
The thunderclouds in the sky expanded to a certain extent and then stopped, which made him feel much more relieved.
After experiencing many heavenly tribulations, especially the Nascent Soul level tribulations many times, and converting some performances into data for comparison through his natal magic weapon IBMz15, he can conclude that this time the heavenly thunder will not be stronger than the heavenly tribulation encountered by the Golden Corpse Nanming.
As he was thinking about it, a bolt of lightning struck.
The golden corpse let out a roar and punched instinctively, which was different from the other golden corpses' habit of using claws.
Normal golden corpses, including the golden corpse Nanming, have sharp nails, which, together with their teeth, are the golden corpse's strongest weapons of attack.
But this golden corpse still retained a certain fighting instinct, which should be related to the "Sun-Covering Corpse Refining Method".
When the punch was thrown, a huge illusory black fist appeared in front of the fist and struck towards the thunder.
Li Shiming inexplicably took a breath of cold air, this punch had the same effect as the Nascent Soul Dharma Phase. The black skeleton had cultivated itself to have abilities similar to the Nascent Soul Dharma Phase.
For normal cultivators, practicing this kind of magic skill is of no use. Risking their lives to practice this kind of magic skill, the result obtained is only similar to that of Nascent Soul Technique.
It would be better to use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image directly. According to Li Shiming's perception, it also consumes huge energy to increase the attack power.
Moreover, this kind of magic power can only enhance the attack of magic power, which is still a little different from the Nascent Soul Dharma Image.
Li Shiming guessed that the Emperor of the Netherworld might have planned to refine his body into a corpse a long time ago, so he practiced this strange magic skill. It was not for use in the Nascent Soul period at all, but to become a powerful attack method for the golden corpse after it was refined into a golden corpse.
With a loud bang, the first ray of heavenly thunder was forcibly dispersed, and the aftermath had no effect on the golden corpse.
As if sensing the existence of the evil technique, the thunderclouds continued to grow larger as they rolled. It seemed that the power of the second thunder would increase even more.
After about an incense stick of time, the second thunderbolt fell.
The thunder with almost three times the power fell, making Li Shiming realize that the rules of heaven and earth hate evil martial arts.
The golden corpse swung his fist again to meet the thunder. This time, the thunder was more powerful than the fist.
The golden corpse was struck by thunder and flew backwards, leaving a long trail on the ground.
Even the golden corpse was knocked several meters deep into the ground. If Li Shiming hadn't sensed that the golden corpse was in good condition, he would have been unable to resist taking action.
The golden corpse turned over from the ground, its body was a little charred and looked rather disheveled.
However, judging from the injuries, these are not even minor injuries. The defense of this golden corpse is definitely far stronger than that of the Golden Corpse Nanming.
It cannot be blamed that Li Shiming compared this golden corpse with the Golden Corpse of Nanming. Apart from the Golden Corpse of Dongtian, he had not seen many golden corpses. There was no need to compare the golden corpses of the Northern Shu Continent at all, as the quality of those golden corpses was very low.
Most of the golden corpses in the Dongqi Continent try their best to make them as powerful as possible to resist the heavenly tribulation. The golden corpses that survive the heavenly tribulation will become stronger.
The Golden Corpses of the Northern Shu Continent rely entirely on luck. When the Silver Corpses are promoted to Golden Corpses, due to the lack of the most advanced corpse refining techniques, the Silver Corpses' strength cannot reach its peak, and thus their strength after being promoted to Golden Corpses will not be too strong.
There is one advantage to doing this, which is that the golden corpse, which is not very powerful, will not face a heavenly tribulation that exceeds the normal level.
Unlike Li Shiming, who had never encountered a normal heavenly tribulation during his two golden corpse promotions.
The thunderclouds were still brewing, as if preparing to completely destroy the golden corpse in the final blow.
Li Shiming did not dare to intervene at this time. He was still very confident in the golden corpse. If he intervened now, the power of the thunder would immediately increase significantly.
The golden corpse looked up at the sky. It instinctively knew that this thunder was dangerous, and it let out a howl.
Originally it was four meters tall, with a body and face that were almost the same as humans. It was obvious that it was able to control most of the power right after its promotion.
As it howled, black substance gushed out from its body and quickly formed a black armor outside its body.
Li Shiming couldn't help but applaud the Emperor of the Netherworld's idea. He couldn't help but wonder how many forms this magic skill of the Emperor of the Netherworld had.
Since everything is controlled by the Golden Corpse's instincts, its master Li Shiming does not know its full capabilities until they are fully demonstrated.
In the sky, the last bolt of thunder finally fell.
The sky and the earth were covered in white. It was because the thunder in the sky was too dazzling that it illuminated the surrounding area.
The golden corpse put his hands in front of him, and the black substance where his hands intersected automatically turned into a shield.
The third bolt of lightning struck the shield with a "crack". Although the sound was small, it had great penetrating power. Li Shiming, who was watching from the side, heard it clearly.
He even saw through his 'Divine Eyes' that a crack had appeared on the black shield. Under the continued influence of the power of the heavenly thunder, the crack was getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, the black shield turned into fragments. As soon as the black fragments left the golden corpse's body, they turned into energy spots and flew back into its body.
The remaining force of the third thunder penetrated the black shield and hit the golden corpse's chest armor.
This time it was the black armor's turn to collapse. The black fragments separated from the body and turned into energy spots, chasing after the golden corpse that was chopped away.
Li Shiming had been standing in the same place. He had no worries. After being weakened twice in a row, the golden corpse still had the blessing of the "Jade Purity Thunder Code". If the golden corpse itself could not even defend against the heavenly thunder weakened by these three defenses, then the golden corpse would not be qualified to be a cultivator's shield.
Contrary to what he expected, the final might of the heavenly thunder did not even break the resistance granted by the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code', and it completely lost its power.
The golden corpse crawled up from the ground, with rewards from heaven and earth surging in its body, and both its body and soul were greatly improved.
The stronger the heavenly tribulation, the greater the benefits obtained. This is part of the rules of heaven and earth.
Li Shiming could sense the strength of the golden corpse. No wonder the Nether Emperor used the golden corpse as his first means of taking over another's body. With the golden corpse, he was able to gain a foothold in the early stage of the Nascent Soul and was not afraid of provocations from those of the same level.
But this golden corpse is stronger than the one designed by the Emperor of the Underworld, it did not show it in the process of fighting against the heavenly thunder just now.
When the golden corpse returned to Li Shiming's side, its speed was almost equivalent to that of the divine foot, which was the most terrifying ability of this golden corpse.
If those Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Shu Continent had known that the golden corpse cores they sent out would have such functions, they would have regretted it to death.
"I'll give you a name, let's call you Black Shield!" Li Shiming said as if talking to himself, looking at the golden corpse in front of him.
From then on, he had an extra powerful fighter by his side. He even thought that he would not need to take action if he encountered an early Nascent Soul cultivator. With two extremely fast golden corpses, each with terrifying attack methods, who could resist them!
