628: Chen De Slays the Three Corpses (Part 3)

"What? You dare to glare at me?"

Upon being looked at by the evil corpse, Chen De immediately berated him.

It wasn't that he was naturally like this, being so caustic and mean towards his own evil corpse.

Rather, Chen De understood that when dealing with an evil person, one must not show them any kindness.

On the contrary, according to the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, a good person should be even tougher.

The evil corpse shook his head. "Original Body, you have already gone astray. Repent and be saved!"

Hearing this, Chen De was so angry he laughed. "Jie jie... Haha, what an absolute joke! I carry the burden of the entire universe and all living beings on my shoulders, and you say I've gone astray? This is utterly ridiculous."

"You have done so many wrong things. How many people have lost their families and homes because of you? Is it not enough?"

In front of Chen De, the evil corpse appeared exceptionally confident, as if he didn't fear the divine power of the Holy Mother in the slightest.

"Wrong things? Can the things the Holy Mother does even be called wrong?" Chen De asked back.

He then continued, "Even if I might have accidentally killed a few people unintentionally, I had no choice. Or perhaps I was forced to sacrifice some people, but in the end, it was for the sake of the greater good."

"Hahahahaha!"

The evil corpse laughed as if he had heard something hilarious, tears even coming to his eyes. "Self-interest is self-interest. Why say so much?"

"Sigh." Chen De sighed. "evil corpse, you are too narrow-minded."

"But you are, after all, the evil thoughts I have slain. In the eyes of an evil person, everything they see is evil. You and I are destined to be unable to communicate, so I'm wasting my breath on someone who won't listen!"

Hearing Chen De's words, the evil corpse fell silent.

The other party had slain what he believed in his heart to be good thoughts, so he had become purer.

Naturally, he would also become more stubborn.

In fact, just through the discussion of the Dao just now, he already knew what the outcome of the conversation would be.

He just thought about what kind of nightmare demon the common people would face in the days to come.

He felt a bit of pity, so even though he knew the result would be like this, the evil corpse still wanted to speak up and try to persuade him.

After all, he was just Chen De's evil corpse and could not disobey the orders of the original body.

Perhaps their ideals would diverge, but they would never kill each other.

On the other side, Chen De also hadn't expected his former evil thoughts to be so deep and so obstinate.

Even with his status as the grand Supreme Holy Mother, he couldn't Influence him with words.

Therefore, from this moment on, Chen De had made up his mind to keep a close eye on him, and would absolutely not give him the chance to go out and do evil.

Glancing at the evil corpse, Chen De felt he should give him a name. After thinking for a moment, he said, "From now on, you shall be called Chen Heng."

Chen De also wanted to completely separate himself from Chen Heng. After all, the Supreme Holy Mother could not have any stains on her.

"Yes."

The evil corpse nodded. In fact, what he inherited most from Chen De was the part of Chen Heng.

Therefore, the evil corpse did not have any resistance to Chen De naming him Chen Heng and accepted the name very readily.

After slaying the evil corpse, Chen De also felt it was time for him to leave. He said to Chen Heng, "You go back first."

The good corpse, Chen Heng, immediately went to execute the order after receiving it, but before going back, he still said, "No matter what, I still hope you can pick up your heart of benevolence and kindness."

Then, he turned into a ball of light and merged into Chen De's body.

After he returned, Chen De immediately felt that the things that had thinned out after slaying the evil corpse had returned.

Thinking about what the evil corpse had just said, he couldn't help but sneer.

He was truly too wicked; as soon as he was slain, he wanted to pollute others and try to lead them to fall.

Unable to find a target, he set his sights on the original body to pollute. He was indeed wicked enough; even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass around its burrow.

Fortunately, Chen De's will was firm enough and had not been shaken in the slightest just now.

But then again, when these evil thoughts were still in his body, they couldn't affect him in the least.

Now that they had been slain, it was even more out of the question.

At this thought, Chen De couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

The Holy Mother was still that Supreme Holy Mother. Whether or not she had slain the three corpses, nothing had changed.

As for this evil corpse, he would slowly Influence and train him later.

Even if his nature was evil, Chen De would make him focus on doing good!

Then, staring straight at the gateway in the sky, he threw a punch.

The seal on the gateway shattered at the sound, and countless sword auras disintegrated and collapsed.

Shattering along with it was the Small World Xie Feng had specifically prepared for them to use for Slaying Three Corpses.

Before the Small World was destroyed, Chen De stepped into the gateway.

When he reappeared, it was still the same great hall he had entered the gateway from.

Xie Feng sat on the throne above, watching. Seeing Chen De emerge from the gateway, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Congratulations, Hall Master Jian, on successfully slaying one corpse and attaining the Dao as a Quasi-Saint!"

Chen De didn't want to make a move for the time being, so he said modestly, "Not at all, not at all. My success in Slaying Three Corpses is all thanks to the Alliance Leader's support!"

However, his tone was much stiffer than before, and it no longer had that sense of flattery.

But his speech was somewhat restrained, without completely breaking ties, carrying a hint of wariness.

Xie Feng was not surprised or angry at this; on the contrary, he felt it was quite normal.

Most cultivators in the Immortal Law Realm were fickle and could change their attitude in an instant.

The fact that he was still wary of him was nothing more than being confused about the matter of having them perform Slaying Three Corpses.

And at this moment in the hall, besides Xie Feng and the newly emerged Chen De, there was another person who had also come out of a Small World.

It was Li Xi. Before entering the Small Worlds, Chen De had guessed that the one to come out the fastest would likely be him.

This was because Li Xi's natal spiritual treasure was an Immortal-grade Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the heart-imprisoning tower!

This tower could suppress divine sense, stabilize the state of mind, and protect the soul... it had extremely powerful effects.

Using this tower in the first three steps could maximize the success rate of slaying a corpse.

And Li Xi's object of entrustment should be this heart-imprisoning tower.

In this great hall, there was also a seat belonging to Li Xi, right next to Xie Feng.

After all, he was also a Quasi-Saint level figure; there was no reason for Xie Feng to sit while he stood.

After Chen De came out, Xie Feng waved his hand, and a seat belonging to Chen De also appeared beside him.

Making a gesture of invitation, he smiled and said, "Hall Master Jian, please take a seat first. Wait a little longer, and once the remaining three Sect Masters have finished their breakthroughs, I will naturally explain the reason."

Chen De did not refuse, also wanting to see what Xie Feng was up to.

So he also took a seat, his gaze fixed on the three gateways below.

Because of the obstruction of the sword aura, he could not see what was inside.

This was the case for Chen De, and it was likely the same for Li Xi.

Clearly, this was Xie Feng's deliberate doing, likely to guard against those who came out early.

After all, being in the same star region, the fewer powerhouses of the same level as oneself, the better.

To prevent them from causing trouble, he had resorted to this tactic.
