The Heaven-shattering: Starting from Simulating Becoming an Emperor

Chapter 20 Soul Fixing Bead

Not long after, Zhang Huan came to the main hall of the underworld again.

An important figure approved his application as an exception and allowed Zhang Huan to come to the main hall to receive the exchanged spiritual objects.

It was just in time for him to ask the female saint for some burial pits.

After a long search, he found that there were a lot of ancient tombs between the burial pits, and he didn't know what pattern they followed.

While waiting with the female saint, the other party was obviously very excited, which made Zhang Huan curious about who the important person was. Could it be the quasi-emperors in charge?
She chattered away to take credit for the achievement to Zhang Huan, but after questioning, the female saint was confused as to what she said. She only knew that the other party was of high status and even her immediate superior did not dare to offend him, and that his identity was mysterious, and nothing else was known.

According to what she said, Zhang Huan guessed that it might be a person who dominated one of the three veins in the underworld.

After a while, Zhang Huan sensed a powerful aura coming towards him.

There was no murderous intent in his aura, but just a cold and icy breath. Zhang Huan did not act rashly and waited for him to come.

The door was wide open, and a middle-aged man walked in as if no one was around.

"Are you Zhang Huan?"

He raised his head and looked down, his eyes were cold and lifeless, like a ghost.

Zhang Huan stood up and looked at the other person silently.

He could feel that the other party's strength was definitely not bad. He had gone very far in the Great Sage realm and might have already reached the pinnacle.

But there is too much dead air on his body, and it is damp and rotten, which makes people feel sick.

"This is a dead person who was brought back to life through a ritual. He looks like an artifact and retains some of his past consciousness!"

In the other party's hands, the materials originally handed over were circled in red, indicating that they were passed.

"I am."

A bead and the materials were thrown into Zhang Huan's hands, accompanied by his voice like the howling of a demon.

"You are good. The master has taken a fancy to you. This Soul-Fixing Orb is enough to help you kill that soul. When the quasi-emperor corpse is left behind, the master will be able to use it."

After saying this, he did not stay any longer, as if he was just running errands for the master behind him. Before leaving, he deliberately gave instructions to Zhang Huan.

"Don't let your master down, or you will suffer a fate worse than death."

He looks so arrogant. He is just a servant, yet he dares to be so condescending.

Watching the dead man leave, Zhang Huan looked like an eagle and a wolf. If the servant was like this, the master was not much better. He didn't even come in person, obviously treating Zhang Huan's status as that of a slave.

To look down on others like this obviously means that one is relying on something powerful. To be able to boss a great sage around, there are not many people in the underworld who meet the requirements.

There is no doubt that the master the other party is talking about is from the Three Meridians.

This threat is not worth mentioning, but the master behind this person is quite interesting. He ordered a quasi-emperor corpse in advance. What does he want to do with it?

In his opinion, he probably wanted to refine it into a war slave.

When Zhang Huan breaks through to the Quasi-Emperor level, he will get another war slave. With an item that can be taken back later, he can get two Quasi-Emperors for free, which is really a great profit.

"Could it be that the three veins of the underworld are fighting for control of the war slaves, first come first served?"

Zhang Huan thought it was very likely. Quasi-emperor-level war slaves were rare, with only a dozen of them in the entire underworld. The corpses of the underworld's own people and those with great potential would not move, and they would nurture spiritualism in the land of doom.

There are only a few left. A quasi-emperor-level war slave must be a rare commodity among the three veins. No wonder the other party is so concerned and asks for the quasi-emperor's corpse.

He turned around and asked the female saint, but she was still shocked.

It seems that he has never seen the Monkey King running errands.

Zhang Huan waved his hand up and down in front of her eyes and asked, "What is this Soul-Fixing Orb?"

He had never heard of this thing before. He thought it was produced only in the underworld and had no idea what its use was.

"The Soul-Fixing Orb is, in a sense, a priceless treasure that is specifically designed to defeat evil spirits and is the nemesis of corpse ghosts."

"Each of them has a great origin and is extremely precious. When illuminated by the divine light on the pearl, most of the power will be cut off immediately. For your quasi-emperor enemy, this item is equivalent to a natural enemy."

The female saint explained it very comprehensively and did her homework.

Zhang Huan formed a seal to control the bead, and the Soul-Fixing Bead immediately emitted a withered yellow light.

An ordinary person like Zhang Huan didn't feel any weakening when he came into contact with it, he just felt a little warm.

"This thing also has the effect of warming the soul?"

Zhang Huan asked.

"Yes, Great Sage. This pearl is extracted from certain Yin corpses and incorporates their essence both before and after death. Therefore, it can not only nourish the spirit and soul, but also has an excellent effect in tempering the body."

The female saint went on to say that judging from the quality of this bead, it should have been extracted from a quasi-emperor. There are only a few of them in ancient and modern times, so it is rare and precious.

"Is it really that effective? I really have to thank that unknown person."

Zhang Huan smiled. He really was paying attention to him. His previous guess was 90% consistent with that person's.

This person has a vicious mind and specifically chose such a treasure, thinking of killing two birds with one stone.

Let's make a note of him first. If Zhang Huan finds out who he is in the future, he will definitely find an opportunity to settle the score with him.

"Is there any Yin corpse here that I can test its power?"

He wanted to see on the spot whether its effect was as powerful as the female saint described, so as to become proficient in it and refine it first.

When the time comes for him to fight with the psychic quasi-emperor lying dead, he will not have time to test the power of this bead.

By the time they left the hall, Zhang Huan had already mastered the technique, torturing a saint-level corpse to death. The effect was indeed as the female saint had said, it had a strong suppressive effect on this type of corpse.

By interrupting the transformation of the quasi-emperor corpse and then offering this bead, its strength can be suppressed to the lowest level.

"Master, I didn't dare to speak just now. This Soul-Fixing Orb seems to have a special formula for controlling it."

The demon box sent out divine thoughts at the right time.

"Mantra?"

Zhang Huan stopped and asked for details.

"The Soul-Fixing Orb has a very strong inhibitory effect on extremely yin corpse ghosts, but this is not its only use. The master just heard from the female saint."

"It can help people condense their spirit and strengthen their body. It is a rare treasure for body training."

"However, if you want to unleash its true potential, you need to use a mantra to control it so that it can actively emit its internal energy. Otherwise, you will only absorb the superficial aspects and fail to bring out its true value."

The demon box chanted the secret method in bursts. According to it, this formula was created by an ancient celestial being in the mythological period, specifically for extracting the goodness of the Soul-Fixing Pearl and dissipating it.

The formation and magical uses of this pearl all originated from him. During that period, there were many ghosts that were a scourge to the people, and this Heavenly Master had a hard time killing them.

I don't know when the inspiration came to me, and I came up with this method of weakening the enemy and thus helping myself.

By absorbing beads that were like tonic pills, the power of this Heavenly Lord increased by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. He suppressed the turmoil caused by rampant ghosts and monsters, thus proving his truth and ruling an era.
