Chapter 1544

After killing Chi Mo, Thunder Daolord solemnly took the corpse away. At that time, his evaluation of it was that its soul had long been obliterated, but its body had survived at least four Dark Upheavals!

There had been seven Dark Upheavals during the War County Era. As far as Gu Chen knew, each time it was accompanied by the destruction of the world and the fall of Dao Lords.

However, this Dao Lord's corpse had survived four Dark Upheavals even though its soul had been obliterated. It had survived an incomparably long period of time, which showed how precious it was.

Gu Chen had previously regretted not being able to obtain Thunder Daolord's corpse, but he had almost forgotten about Chi Mo's corpse!

One could imagine the joy in Gu Chen's heart when he had regained the precious body in front of him.

"I wonder what kind of Origin this Dao Lord cultivated when he was alive?"

Gu Chen's heart was filled with anticipation. If the Origin this person cultivated was helpful to his four Origins, then he would probably step into the Dao Severing Realm faster than he had expected.

Gu Chen's heart leaped with joy. He carefully reached out his hand and touched Chi Mo's body.

Chi Mo's power was still so terrifying even after its death, so he did not dare to take it lightly.

The corpse was covered in ancient armor, and even most of its face was covered by a helmet. Only when it was close could one vaguely see its dry and stiff skin.

The Corpse Bug had been playing tricks earlier. If it had not been for the armor that helped it hide the truth of the corpse, it would not have been so easily deceived.

When his hand touched the corpse's skin, Gu Chen's fingertips suddenly felt a sharp attack.

This sharpness was hidden in the corpse. When Gu Chen had tried to use Deep Sea Purple Eyes to see through its mystery, he had been injured by this sharpness.

Now that the corpse was in Gu Chen's hands, he only needed to slightly condense the power of Origin, and the impact of this sharpness on Gu Chen was greatly weakened. Gu Chen's Divine Sense successfully entered the corpse.

Chi Mo's flesh and blood had long dried up, but his internal organs were still there. The cause of his death did not seem to be any fatal injury to his body.

Gu Chen remembered what Thunder Dao Monarch had said. He tried to use his Divine Sense to enter Chi Mo's brain and soon found that there was a ravine in his Sea of Consciousness that connected heaven and earth.

This ravine seemed to have been left behind by a divine sword. With just a single strike, it had forcefully split a peerless Dao Lord's sea of consciousness into two, causing his Essence Spirit to perish.

Gu Chen's Spiritual Sense examined the ravine in his Sea of Consciousness, his heart pounding violently.

The fact that the body left behind by Senior Chi Mo was able to endure so many dark upheavals and remain intact was already sufficient to prove how terrifying his strength was.

However, such a powerful person had his soul destroyed by a single strike. Just how terrifying was the person who killed him?

Gu Chen took a deep breath. Was there a huge gap between the Dao Severing realm?

Or perhaps, the one who killed Senior Chi Mo was a great figure with an even higher cultivation?

Gu Chen's Spiritual Sea was in tatters, and it had experienced an incomparably long period of time. Naturally, it did not leave behind any Spiritual Imprint. Gu Chen felt regret.

Even if there was only a tiny bit of this Dao Lord's Spiritual Sense left in the world, it was an extremely precious treasure to him.

Initially, Gu Chen did not expect to obtain any inheritance from the corpse. What he really cared about was the Power of Origin hidden in the corpse.

After inspecting the corpse and finding no fatal danger, Gu Chen placed a hand on the corpse's shoulder and tried to extract the remaining Power of Origin of Chi Mo.

He quickly opened his eyes, and his expression became surprised. "Nothing?"

The ability to plunder other people's Power of Origin, which had always been successful, actually felt empty on Chi Mo's corpse this time. He could not plunder any Power of Origin!

Gu Chen could not help but frown, pondering why.

Chi Mo's corpse had experienced a long period of time. It would not be strange if its Power of Origin had been drained over the years.

However, if that was the case, how could this corpse be so intact? It should have turned into ashes a long time ago.

Moreover, the corpse still had an extremely terrifying monarch's might. Previously, the Corpse Bug had even borrowed its power. All these signs did not seem like the depletion of Power of Origin!

"Could it be that the Dao Severing Realm is more special and it's not so easy to plunder Power of Origin?"

Puzzled, Gu Chen could only make this guess and continue to try hard.

After a long time, he did not sense any Power of Origin, let alone plunder. Gradually, he had the thought of giving up.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed an unusual movement from the depths of the corpse!

"Eh?"

Gu Chen's divine senses sank into the depths of the corpse, and the ability to plunder Power of Origin was activated further, searching for that unusual movement.

Soon, he sensed a surge of Power of Origin. Just as he was about to rejoice, he suddenly heard a scream!

"Ah —"

Why would a scream come from a corpse whose soul had long perished?

Was he seeing a ghost in broad daylight?

While Gu Chen was stunned, he felt that the voice was a little familiar. His eyes turned cold, and his strength increased several times!

Swoosh.

A slender and ugly black worm was suddenly pulled out from the corpse. It floated in midair, its entire body shivering!

"So it's you. You're actually not dead!"

Gu Chen looked at the Chi Bug before him, or rather, the Chi Demon that was pretending to be mysterious, with a strange expression.

Previously in the Star Ocean Ruins, countless cultivators witnessed Thunder Dao Lord killing the Chi Bug with their own eyes. Gu Chen was one of them.

Who would have thought that it was not dead at all and was still hiding in the corpse!

"Overlord, spare me! Overlord, spare me! I didn't mean to offend you! "

Seeing that its tracks were exposed, Chi Bug was not stubborn at all and hurriedly kowtowed to Gu Chen to beg for mercy.

"How did you manage to escape?"

Gu Chen harrumphed coldly, curious as to how Chi Bug managed to deceive Thunder Dao Lord and survive.

"I was originally a Corpse Bug with an extremely strong life force and the ability to survive by severing its tail."

"When this lowly one's identity was exposed, I was sure that Thunder Dao Lord would not spare this lowly one, so I left most of my power to the tail and let it turn into a clone to pretend to escape, while I hid deeper into the corpse."

"This corpse was not easy to spy on in the first place and it was chaotic on the battlefield at that time. I was certain that Thunder Dao Lord would definitely not discover this trick and did not have the time to examine the corpse carefully."

"I initially planned to find a suitable opportunity to escape secretly after the matter was over. Who would have thought …"

Chi Bug had a long face. Ever since then, it had been kept in the storage ring and finally had a chance to escape today.

It had initially thought that Gu Chen would definitely not discover it. Not only would it have a chance to escape, it would also have a chance to bring this precious corpse away with it.

Who would have thought that for some reason, Gu Chen would examine the corpse exceptionally carefully and even released a strange power in an attempt to plunder the little remaining Origin Energy in its body?

In a moment of panic, it gave itself away, so the entire escape plan failed!

"You're quite cunning."

Gu Chen understood the ins and outs of the story and could not help but burst into laughter.

Although Chi Bug was a coward, it was rather capable to be able to escape from Dao Lord.
