Li Shiming activated the Corpse Refining Array. The spiritual veins in the three meridian-locking plates and the spiritual energy output by a large amount of spirit stones were transformed by the Corpse Refining Array and turned into evil energy that flowed in the array.
The array bases lit up one by one, and the evil energy flowed along the array bases and array lines and finally into the bodies of the five great monks in the center.
On the surface of the bodies of the five great monks, tiny corpse-refining runes were activated. A faint blue light flashed, dyeing the bodies of the great monks blue.
This is only the surface of the great monk's body. On his internal bones, more corpse-refining runes have also been activated.
All the corpse refining runes were devouring evil energy. More evil energy entered the corpse refining runes, and the faint blue light on the corpse refining runes became brighter.
After the corpse refining rune was activated, the ritual of refining the great monk's body began.
With the blood of the late golden corpse as the medium, this sacrificial process was easier than Li Shiming had imagined.
Moreover, due to the ultimate energy balance of the five great monks' bodies, there was no energy imbalance during the entire process of sacrifice and transformation, which led to this feeling of ease.
In fact, many cultivators will have some energy balance problems when they are performing sacrifices and refining corpses.
Even if a cultivator has the tradition of corpse refining, he cannot accurately control the runes drawn on the corpse and achieve energy balance.
It’s just that cultivators with a very strong corpse refining heritage will do better in terms of energy balance.
In addition, the corpse itself and the corpse refining materials used during the sacrifice have a certain small amount of automatic balancing ability. As long as this energy imbalance is within a certain limit, the refining can be successful.
Li Shiming's success rate in refining corpses has always been frighteningly high. After obtaining the "Xuanyin Yaksha Forbidden Book", he finally understood the reason for his high success rate.
Perhaps because he had learned alchemy and refining, he had an instinctive concern for energy balance. Therefore, when drawing corpse-refining runes on the corpse, IBMz15 would use the standard design plan of energy balance.
The bodies of the five great monks began to change. Under the influence of the 400 million corpse-refining runes, the corpses continued to grow larger, soon exceeding four meters in height, and their entire bodies turned golden.
This is the initial formation of the golden corpse's body. Inside the golden corpse's body, the spirit of the corpse is being generated.
After the corpse-refining spirit was formed, a large amount of evil energy merged with the corpse-refining spirit as the core to form the golden corpse core.
During the process of forming the golden corpse core, the golden corpse core of Tianren Cave Heaven placed in the great monk's body was absorbed by the golden corpse core.
Perhaps because the level of the golden corpse core was too high, the energy of this Tianren Dongtian golden corpse core did not have much impact. Only the speed rule imprint in it was transferred to the new golden corpse core.
In the outside world, the expansion of the golden corpse's body stopped, and then began to shrink. During the shrinking process, the golden skin color became darker and darker, gradually turning into dark gold.
Just when Li Shiming thought that the final golden corpse would be dark gold, something he did not expect happened. When the golden corpse shrank to its normal size, the dark gold skin also turned into normal color skin.
"Boom boom!" As he watched, the hearts of the five golden corpses beat in unison, driving the blood in the blood vessels to circulate throughout the body.
Sensing that the blood of the five golden corpses began to circulate, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
But when he looked at the five golden corpses, he didn't know whether the golden corpses in front of him were late-stage golden corpses. The late-stage golden corpses he knew were all dark gold in color, unlike the five golden corpses in front of him that looked like ordinary people.
While he was thinking about this, the entire corpse refining formation began to collapse from the base due to the loss of too much special energy it contained.
Amidst a series of crackling sounds, the entire corpse refining formation, which had consumed a large amount of fourth-grade upper-level and top-level corpse refining materials to build, lost its energy and turned into fragments.
Li Shiming knew that he didn't have much time left, so he took out the "Heavenly Thunder Hammer".
Because of the isolation of the formation outside, he was able to maintain the spiritual treasure quality of the 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' without worry, and coordinated with the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in the computer room space to perform a secret method to enhance the lightning resistance of the five golden corpses.
If the failure rate of the previous corpse refining formation's refining process was very high, then the golden corpse's heavenly tribulation was the reason for the end of 99% of the golden corpses.
Except for its inability to fight at a long distance, the Golden Corpse is extremely powerful in close combat and defense, and can even be used as a shield for monks of the same level.
However, the Golden Corpse has one biggest flaw, which is also the main reason why the Golden Corpse is so rare and few cultivators are willing to refine it, and that is its resistance to heavenly thunder is too low.
The golden corpse is an evil life, and the heavenly thunder is the weapon used by heaven and earth to eliminate all evil.
Li Shiming dared to refine the golden corpse because he practiced the "Yuqing Thunder Classic" and had the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl" and the magical treasure "Heavenly Thunder Hammer" to enhance the secret method of enhancing lightning resistance.
To be honest, when the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' was still in Yuqing Sect, no cultivator dared to use it to enhance the golden corpse's resistance to lightning.
The 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' is a treasure of a powerful being. In addition, the Yuqing Sect is a super power that practices thunder magic. They originally look down on external objects such as corpse refining. Even if a cultivator borrowed the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' from a powerful being, they would not dare to use it to refine corpses.
After using the secret method, Li Shiming swept the surrounding formations with his spiritual sense and collected all 108 Buddhist beads and the fourth-grade formation flags.
This formation will be of no use anymore. Even if it is placed here, it will be destroyed by the thunder.
He has done everything he should do, and now it all depends on the outcome of the heavenly tribulation.
He issued a mandatory order to the five golden corpses. His essence and blood were used in the sacrifice and refining of the golden corpses, so they had successfully recognized each other as their master.
The five golden corpses were separated into five areas, and the distance between them was enough to allow them to survive the heavenly tribulation without interfering with each other.
They stand on the ground without any unnecessary movements.
In the sky, five thunderclouds were gathering together, and it didn't take long before five dark clouds formed.
Lightning flashed continuously in every black cloud, and the first thunder began to brew.
Li Shiming took a look at the situation of the thundercloud and was a little worried. This time, the thundercloud that appeared was of the great monk level. He didn't know anything about the situation of the five golden corpses. He didn't know whether the five golden corpses could survive the heavenly tribulation after being blessed with his secret thunder resistance method.
"Boom", five heavenly thunders fell at the same time, forming a resonant thunder sound.
Five thick thunderbolts fell straight down from the thunderclouds and hit the five golden corpses.
The five golden corpses remained motionless, allowing the thunder to strike them.
Li Shiming is very experienced in overcoming the tribulation. Under the heavenly tribulation, any life that dares to challenge it will be met with a stronger counterattack from it.
Of course, challenging the heavenly tribulation and receiving the baptism of stronger heavenly thunder will bring much greater benefits than an ordinary heavenly tribulation as long as you pass it.
Many sword cultivators like to forcibly break through the thunderclouds when they are going through the Nascent Soul Tribulation, in order to obtain more rewards from the rules of heaven and earth and lay a more solid foundation for themselves.
But this also depends on the time. The Golden Corpse is going through the tribulation, and is going through the tribulation in the way of the late Golden Corpse. Anyone who dares to challenge the power of heaven and earth in the slightest is expected to be greeted with the thunder of a peak great cultivator, or even thunder beyond this level.
The first heavenly thunder caused some charring on the surfaces of the five golden corpses, but it was not serious. For the golden corpses, such injuries were almost non-existent.
Since the five golden corpses allowed the heavenly thunder to fall behind without any other movements, the thunderclouds in the sky did not increase significantly either. They just increased their strength at a normal rate and began to brew the second heavenly thunder.
"Boom", there was another simultaneous sound, and the second round of five heavenly thunders fell.
This time the thunder was much more powerful than the first time, but it was still within the normal range. This made Li Shiming breathe a sigh of relief. It was not unexpected after all.
He saw in the 'Xuanyin Yaksha Forbidden Canon' that when many great monks were refining the late-stage golden corpse, even if they did not challenge the heavenly tribulation, the heavenly tribulation would sometimes get out of control, suddenly increasing its power tenfold and directly destroying the golden corpse.
After the five golden corpses were struck by the second heavenly thunder, cracks appeared on their skin.
When Li Shiming saw the blood flowing from the cracks in the golden corpse's skin, he was shocked, because the blood flowing from the cracks in the skin was actually red.
The late-stage golden corpse blood he bought from Zhongzhou Trading Company was golden blood.
Zhongzhou Trading Company could not possibly deceive him. Besides, the 'Xuanyin Yaksha Forbidden Book' also recorded the blood of the late golden corpse, which was also golden blood.
However, the five late-stage golden corpses he created using the late-stage corpse refining method had red blood in their bodies. Furthermore, the golden corpses had skin that was no different from that of ordinary people. What was the difference between them and normal cultivators?
The injured skin of the five golden corpses healed little by little as his mind was focused, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He took a deep breath. This was the damage caused by the thunder in the heavenly tribulation. The wound caused by the thunder could not be recovered in a short time even if he took the most advanced healing elixir.
The energy from the heavenly thunder will continue to erode the wound. The fact that the golden corpse can expel the energy from the heavenly thunder and heal the wound so quickly means that there is energy within the golden corpse that can resist the heavenly thunder.
Unfortunately, the five golden corpses were in the process of undergoing a tribulation at this moment. He could not connect his spiritual consciousness to them, and he could not even influence the five golden corpses in any way during the tribulation.
Otherwise, it would be considered as helping to overcome the calamity, and the power of the calamity would also include Li Shiming.
All he could do now was to stand aside and watch.
The noise of the tribulation here was quite loud, so some cultivators from the Taichu branch of the Wanshou Sect in the distance prepared to come over to check it out.
Five great cultivator-level heavenly tribulations, it is estimated that such a scene has never appeared in the Dongqi Continent, or even in the entire world of immortal cultivation, and it is also within the isolated space of the cave heaven.
Despite Li Shiming's previous instructions, it did not stop the monks' worries and curiosity.
However, Li Shiming did not need to worry about such matters. Great Monk Luo Pei was at the outermost edge. The rising aura of Great Monk Luo Pei and the strong warning aura made the monks who were about to come and observe the situation stop in their tracks.
Li Shiming had no time to pay attention to those monks. His eyes were fixed on the five thunderclouds in the sky.
The lightning in the thundercloud accumulated more and more, but the thunder did not fall immediately. The accumulated lightning meant that the last thunder would be more powerful.
There was worry in his eyes. The power of the last thunderbolt might cause considerable damage to the golden corpse.
The longer the time drags on, the lower the possibility of the golden corpse successfully surviving the calamity.
Just as he was worried, the thunderclouds finally seemed unable to contain any more lightning, and a bolt of lightning that was more than twice as thick as the second bolt fell.
The heavenly thunder covered the golden corpse in lightning. Even with his 'divine eyes' activated, he couldn't see clearly what was happening to the golden corpse in the thunder.
He could only sense the golden corpse's extreme pain through his connection with it.
Feeling pain is a good thing, but not having any feedback is the worst thing.
Because he was connected to the five golden corpses and shared their feelings, time passed extremely slowly. The short time of the third heavenly thunder seemed to take him several hours.
Finally, the third thunderbolt stopped its power, and the five thunderclouds in the sky dissipated.
He saw his five golden corpses. Most of their skin and flesh had disappeared, revealing their internal bones.
If it were an ordinary life, this level of injury would be enough to kill it several times.
But the strong vitality of the golden corpses allowed all five of them to still be alive.
Before Li Shiming could display his 'Xiantian Yimu' magical power, the reward from heaven and earth arrived first and took effect on the five golden corpses.
The lost flesh and blood of the five golden corpses recovered rapidly under the influence of strange energy. In just a few breaths, the five golden corpses returned to the state of human monks without any wounds.
After the rewards from heaven and earth were over, Li Shiming continuously released his spiritual sense to sense the situation of one of the golden corpses.
When he checked the golden corpse's core, he determined that his golden corpse was a late-stage golden corpse, which could be judged from the corpse core.
The corpse core is isolated from leaking its breath by the golden corpse's body, which means that when a cultivator senses the golden corpse, he will only sense that this is a great cultivator who cultivates cold and yin spiritual power, and will not recognize that this is a golden corpse.
To a certain extent, the corpse core has the same function as the Nascent Soul of a great cultivator. After the aura of the corpse core is isolated, it can be completely regarded as a real Nascent Soul.
In addition to the 'speed rule mark' on the corpse core, there are two more rule marks, one is the 'strength rule mark' and the other is the 'defense rule mark'.
Li Shiming had never thought that when he drew 400 million "corpse refining runes" on the great monk's body, he was only considering the possible qualitative changes that 400 million runes could produce.
When he was refining a weapon, when the number of engraved runes reached 400 million, the corresponding rule imprint would appear after the weapon passed the calamity.
However, the late-stage golden corpse refined by 400 million "corpse refining runes" actually had two more rule marks, which was beyond his imagination.
He thought about it and realized that if a normal golden corpse was refined, its strength and defense would be its strengths.
There is a possibility that the effect of the 'Corpse Refining Rune' is to enhance the power and defense of the corpse, and when he increased the 'Corpse Refining Rune' to 400 million, it gave birth to the 'Power Rule Mark' and the 'Defense Rule Mark'.
