Emperor's Domination

Chapter 6112: Immortal Corpseworm

Li Qiye still stared at him.

“I did really lose and got taken over, it’s just that I happened to have a special method, that’s how I survived and latched onto his body.” Coiling Moon hurriedly added.

“So he took over but you’re the one here. How did you get this technique? I know you didn’t create it.” Li Qiye said.

“I...” The embarrassed emperor lowered his head.

“Where did you find it?” Li Qiye repeated.

“I came across it by chance.” He smiled wryly.

“Is that so?” Li Qiye continued.

“Yes, that is indeed the truth.” His knees trembled as he waved his hand.

“Where was the location?” Li Qiye said.

“I don’t know how to respond.” He said.

“Answer as you please.” Li Qiye said.

“We have to start with Fire Ancestor’s expedition, I’m not aware of this cultivator’s full story but there was a battle after the expedition, one of the immortals’ level.” He said.

“Pursued by the three immortals.” Li Qiye said.

“That must be it, I didn’t know who the three immortals were or what happened later, I was just a young cultivator then. Curiosity and desire took me to the ocean.” He said.

“Uncrossable Expanse.” Li Qiye understood.

“That’s it.” Coiling Moon nodded: “And that’s when the battle happened. Of course, a lowly character such as myself was not involved.”

“You went to the battlefield.” Li Qiye became interested.

Li Qiye activated his heavenly gaze and saw a cut - this thing was not whole, only a tiny piece from something larger. Spiral patterns could be seen as well, adding to its enigmatic nature.

“You did more than just study its mysteries.” Li Qiye’s eyes turned cold.

“I also wanted to know where it fell from.” Coiling Moon told the truth: “Someone must have created it so I traced the source.”

“What did you find out?” Li Qiye asked.

“I speculated that it came from Evil Transformation, but I haven’t seen this being nor done any transaction.” He said.

“You were afraid.” Li Qiye said.

“Yes, because I thought it came from Evil Transformation. During my research, I verified this but Evil Transformation was not the one who released it, someone else performed a transaction.” He said.

“You are half right. A part of it belonged to Evil Transformation, the other part was created by someone else.” Li Qiye said.

“That would make sense since it has laws that I just couldn’t comprehend.” He said.

“Immortal Corpseworm.” Li Qiye said its name.

“So is it a parasite?” Coiling Moon stared at it and became afraid.

“It’s more than that, someone fused their grand dao with it. It is exceedingly rare, few have been spotted in all the epochs. Only when beings powerful enough to be called immortals by regular cultivators die would one show up to absorb the corpse, but not always.” Li Qiye said.

That only made Coiling Moon more afraid since that could be him one day.

“You’re not worth its time.” Li Qiye said: “Normally, it only absorbs corpses.”

“It can absorb living people now too.” He said.

“Yes, due to the infused dao created specifically for it. They are one now, the dao and the worm.” Li Qiye said.

“So similar to refining a dao into a weapon.” He commented.
