At the beginning, Cao Xiu snatched a sacred fire that the Red Lotus Sect used as a wick, refined it and blended it into the Pure Yang Tao Seed to enhance his Pure Yang power and enhance the power of Pure Yang.
However, after thoroughly refining the Holy Fire, he rarely fought with others. Even last time in Xiaohan Mountain, he only hid behind the scenes and instigated the monks from the Wang and Zhao families to surround and kill the Lin family, without taking action personally.
Therefore, this flame has not experienced any battle so far, so Cao Xiu does not have a general idea of how powerful the Red Lotus Holy Fire is.
However, during the time after joining the Daluo Sect, he often went back to the library to borrow various Taoist books. He also read books that recorded many things in the spiritual world, including records about the Red Lotus Holy Fire.
Therefore, he knows that the Red Lotus Holy Fire has extremely powerful lethality to the soul!
At this moment, he sprayed out the red lotus holy fire, intending to use this flame to refine the spiritual intelligence of the golden corpse.
Although zombies and ghosts are both transformed after death, they are very different.
Ghosts are creatures whose obsessions persist after death, so their souls remain and turn into various ghosts. They are born with spiritual intelligence. Although they are affected by their obsessions, they specialize in all kinds of soul magic and often have the most cunning temperament.
Zombies are formed by absorbing yin energy from the body after death. Although they belong to the same category of yin evil as ghosts, they have no soul and act according to the instinct of the body, so they have low intelligence.
It is not until he has gained a certain level of strength over time and evolved magical powers that he will gradually stimulate some of the remaining memory auras of the corpse's life, and combined with his own growth, will gradually develop a complete spiritual intelligence.
But Lin Badao is different. He practices the zombie method with a living body!
Before turning to the corpse path, he had sealed his soul within his body using secret techniques.
Even after he transformed himself into a zombie, although his soul was inevitably suppressed and infected by his zombie nature, he could still regain his sanity by devouring blood to meet the needs of the zombie's body.
Even after he reaches a level of cultivation comparable to the three realms of heaven and man, there is a high chance that he can completely suppress his zombie nature and regain his sanity.
Unfortunately, it fell into Cao Xiu's hands and was weakened in various ways. Not only was the corpse completely suppressed by Cao Xiu, but even the remaining sanity was completely taken over by the ferocious nature of the zombies.
In this case, he has lost all possibility of comeback.
Unless Lin Ba Dao can completely wake up and force out the thirteen ghost needles in his body, breaking through the suppression of the corpse-suppressing talisman, it will only be a matter of time before he is completely refined.
Cao Xiu looked at the flames in front of him and pointed at the golden corpse with his hands.
The red lotus sacred fire instantly turned into several lines of fire and penetrated along the seven orifices of the golden corpse.
As the Red Lotus Holy Fire entered, the golden corpse, which had been suppressed and unable to move, suddenly trembled, and a look of pain appeared on its face.
But the Red Lotus Holy Fire had penetrated into his brain along his seven orifices, found the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, and burned towards the chaotic soul filled with endless black energy.
The flame was not big, and it was nothing compared to the pitch-black soul several feet high.
But after touching Lin Badao's soul, the originally small flame suddenly grew in intensity.
This holy fire was impressively boosting its momentum with the help of burning soul power, and was even absorbing Lin Badao's soul power and using it as nourishment for itself.
Lin Badao's soul struggled fiercely, manipulating the endless black energy to try to drown the flame that brought him great fear and pain.
But no matter what he did, he couldn't completely extinguish the flame. Instead, he was suppressed again, unable to dodge or escape, and could only passively withstand the flames!
He was roaring in the sea of consciousness and struggling, but everything he did was in vain.
Even though this flame was so small compared to his huge soul at the beginning, it could continuously bring him pain, and as his soul continued to melt, the flame continued to grow and become stronger!
As time passed, Cao Xiu sat cross-legged in front of Lin Ba Dao's body, trying his best to manipulate the holy fire to refine the opponent's soul.
Although he felt tired from not resting for such a long time, as the soul aura in Lin Badao's ancestral orifice became weaker and weaker, the power of the Red Lotus Holy Fire became stronger and stronger, and the refining speed became faster and faster,
He couldn't help but feel excited.
Seven days later, most of Lin Ba Dao's soul had been burned away, and he had transformed from a huge spiritual body with a height of several feet filled with black energy to a small man of only seven or eight inches.
Moreover, the soul body is weak, illusory and transparent, and there is not much black energy left around the body!
On the other hand, the Red Lotus Holy Fire has changed from the original appearance of a small cluster of wick flames to the size of a thumb, several times larger than the original size.
"well!"
The soul that had been resisting and struggling suddenly let out a sigh!
But it was at the last moment that Lin Ba Dao's mind completely came to his senses.
Unfortunately, after being burned by the Red Lotus Holy Fire for such a long time, 99% of his soul power had been lost. Only then did he wake up, and there was no possibility of resistance.
Just recalling the past, I remembered that in his life, he was unwilling to be ordinary. With his domineering style, he certainly got many opportunities, making him one of the best among the monks at the same level in terms of strength and cultivation.
But because of this, he offended too many monks, otherwise he would have been forced to practice the zombie way with his own body.
But now, he can't even save his zombie body, and his soul is about to dissipate. Although he is unwilling to accept it, he can only let out a sigh.
"May I ask who you are?"
Fluctuations came from the frail soul: "Lin is about to die, can you leave your name so that I can know at the hands of whom I died?"
"Outer disciple of Daluo Sect, Cao Xiu!"
Cao Xiu did not hide anything and directly reported his name.
Because even the soul of the other party is about to dissipate, he doesn't think this person has any backup plan to deal with him!
"Outer disciple?"
Even though Lin Ba Dao was about to die, he still couldn't believe the answer he heard.
His already weak soul trembled, and his already unstable soul was almost shaken by Cao Xiu's words.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After a long while, Lin Badao let out a burst of laughter that was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, I ended up dying in the hands of a mere outer disciple of Daluo Sect!
The old man from Bailu Cave couldn't kill me back then. Over the years, I have been struggling hard, often wandering between clarity and chaos. In order to survive and to walk on the road to immortality, I turned myself into a zombie.
I didn’t expect that I would end up like this in the end, it’s really fate that plays a trick on me, and I will not be happy with the retribution!”
After saying these words, all the black energy outside his body completely dissipated, and the flames of the Red Lotus Holy Fire exploded, completely igniting the last bit of his soul power.
