However, how could the Holy Son of Shenzhao, a human, possibly rely on the corpse of a Demon Tribe Saint Master to resurrect?
Firstly, the structures of humans and demons are different. Moreover, this is the corpse of a Demon Tribe Saint Master. No matter how strong the spiritual power of the Holy Son of Shenzhao is, it is impossible to manipulate a Saint Master's body.
Secondly, it has never been said that humans can seize the bodies of demons.
"That's not right. Perhaps if I break through my cultivation in the future and cultivate the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique to its limit, I might be able to split my soul and seize a demonic body. But to say that I can seize the body of a Demon Tribe Saint Master while still in the Overlord realm is simply a paradox."
A strong curiosity surged in Qin Chen's heart. His gaze swiftly swept across the entire formation and, sure enough, he discovered something unusual; there were actually two formations.
Underneath this ancient demon corpse, there was actually another formation. In that formation, surprisingly, sat the corpse of a human powerful being. That corpse was damaged, evidently having suffered a brutal attack before death, but its face was not too damaged, resembling the Holy Son of Shenzhao extremely closely, as if it was carved from the same mold.
"This is... the past life of the Holy Son of Shenzhao, the seventy-eighth generation master of Shenzhao Sect?"
Qin Chen was greatly astonished.
There were actually two Saint Master-level corpses here.
The Shenzhao Mirror floated above the ancient demon corpse, releasing waves of belief power. At the same time, as the belief power merged into the body of the ancient demon corpse, it also flowed into the corpse of the Holy Son of Shenzhao's past life below, causing resonance between the two.
What is the Holy Son of Shenzhao doing?
Is he trying to resurrect his past life?
Qin Chen was completely puzzled. He looked closely and was even more shocked. At first, he truly believed that the Holy Son of Shenzhao's purpose was to seize the ancient demon corpse, using the Saint Master demon corpse to resurrect his past life and occupy his previous body. However, the more he looked, the more wrong it felt. In the end, Qin Chen gasped as he finally understood.
These two formations were a maternal and filial nurturing formation. The corpse of the Shenzhao Master was the child, while the body of the ancient demon corpse was, in fact, the mother. The Holy Son of Shenzhao's purpose was not to resurrect his past life; rather, he aimed to use the body of his past life’s Saint Master to nourish the ancient demon corpse, attempting to occupy the ancient demon corpse and become a master of the Demon Tribe.
No, the formation here has been arranged for countless years. This means that this formation could not have been arranged by the Holy Son of Shenzhao, but rather by the seventy-eighth generation master of Shenzhao Sect from his past life.
"Hiss!"
When this thought emerged, Qin Chen couldn't help but felt his scalp tingle, instantly turning cold all over.
Cruel, simply too cruel.
This seventy-eighth generation master of Shenzhao Sect was incredibly ruthless. If Qin Chen's guess wasn't wrong, the past life of the Holy Son of Shenzhao—the seventy-eighth generation master of Shenzhao Sect—had fallen in this ancient demon realm.
So far, Qin Chen still did not know why the other party had perished or who killed him. However, it was evident that before the master fell, knowing he was about to die, he found a corpse of a powerful Demon Tribe Saint Master, arranged this maternal and filial nurturing formation, then activated the formation, allowing his posthumous body to become the offering to nourish the ancient demon corpse, maintaining the Saint Master aura of the ancient demon corpse.
Moreover, the master of Shenzhao used reincarnation techniques to let a fragment of his true spirit reincarnate as the Holy Son of Shenzhao, and then at a certain moment, return to this demon realm, using the ancient demon corpse to resurrect himself.
