It can be said that with Qin Chen's current half-step Saint Master realm, although refining a Saint Master treasure is not impossible, refining this Saint Master's corpse is even more difficult than refining a Saint Master weapon.
Because what Qin Chen needs is not just to refine the other party, but to control them.
Boom! As Qin Chen's death energy gradually merged into the Saint Master's corpse, the death energy of the corpse became increasingly dense. A hint of black flame light began to emerge in its hollow eyes, as if it were about to awaken.
"This kid..." The black statue looked at all of this in shock, with a look of horror flashing in its ancient stone eyes.
However, it was not anxious; instead, it leisurely watched Qin Chen. Although Qin Chen's performance exceeded its expectations, it seemed to know that Qin Chen would definitely not succeed.
Sure enough, after continuous refinement, Qin Chen's brows began to furrow.
Although he had gradually gained control over the Saint Master's corpse and refined it, it was merely refining. To make it regain life and possess combat instincts was something he could not do.
Qin Chen initially calculated that using the Sky Patch technique to slowly erode, drop by drop, would eventually allow the other party to possess the will of death and awaken. However, with the refinement, Qin Chen discovered that his calculations were wrong.
Three whole days had passed outside. In the accelerated time where Qin Chen was, he had spent a full year refining the other party. Unfortunately, there was still no effect. The black flames in the other party's eyes grew stronger and stronger, yet no autonomous will was born.
"It's no good. If I continue refining, it will only strengthen the death valley on this Saint Master's corpse. It will have no effect on the birth of the other party's will."
Qin Chen gave up the refining, his expression somewhat awkward.
"Hahaha, you gave up?"
The black statue said lightly, "I said before, even though you have mastered the rules of death and absorbed a large amount of death energy, and even possess the death origin of this body, to bring a dead being back to life and give birth to will is something you cannot do at your current level. Just give up."
To be honest, the actions of Qin Chen surprised the black statue greatly, but it was just surprise, because it was very clear that Qin Chen would not succeed.
"I don't believe it."
Qin Chen snorted coldly. The most difficult part now was to awaken the other's will. He kept calculating in his mind when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique!"
The soul within Qin Chen's body suddenly surged, and an invisible soul light slowly permeated out, merging into the head of the Saint Master's corpse.
Instantly, a feeling of will awakening began to rise slowly.
"It worked."
Qin Chen's eyes lit up.
"This kid is using his own soul power to ignite the soul light of this Saint Master's corpse? That's too risky."
The black statue was taken aback, thinking that Qin Chen had gone mad.
The soul is the essence of any being; no being can easily split their soul. Even if Qin Chen ignited the soul light of this Saint Master's corpse, he would be greatly injured, or even go mad.
Qin Chen naturally knew this. Even though he had cultivated the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique and his soul strength was extraordinary, having already split off Qin Mo, he would not further divide his soul for this Saint Master's corpse.
The purpose of Qin Chen doing this was merely to use his own soul as a catalyst.
"Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree!"
A strand of soul light ignited the will in the other party's mind. Qin Chen once again urged the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree and the Calamity Nether Fire.
Boom! A sense of calamity surged from the Saint Master's corpse, and the flames of disaster began to burn.
Moreover, the power of the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree began to nourish that strand of Qin Chen's soul, and the will in the Saint Master's corpse's mind grew stronger.
