I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 80 I Will Come to Find You!
Residual Soul Obsession?
Han Zheng looked at the lifelike Yuan Tianfeng before him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Was this person in front of him really just a residual soul? And yet now he could speak and think, so what difference was there from actually being alive?
Since he had little understanding of this last strongman of the True Martial Sect, Han Zheng made up his mind to keep quiet first and see what the Zhang Family ancestor would say.
"Obsession? Is there anything you need to instruct or entrust us with? Although my family's strength is not outstanding, we're willing to accomplish your wishes at all costs."
The Zhang Family ancestor knelt on the ground, seemingly loyal, but actually panicking inside.
He was terrified the other party would ask why he was here.
Yuan Tianfeng sighed, "Of course there's an obsession. In fact, I had hoped that you wouldn't see my residual soul when you entered today, which would mean that I had succeeded and that my fellow disciples of the True Martial Sect could rest in peace.
Originally, I entered the relic to bury my seniors, to quietly guard their tombs and send them off on their last journey.
But the moment the relic was opened, I discovered a terrifying change inside.
Among the demons that attacked the True Martial Sect in the past was a Ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King. Initially, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect died fighting it, and used the Mountain Protection Array to suppress its Corpse Pill.
But as a result, there were cracks in the Mountain Protection Array, allowing the strong corpse energy to leak.
This corpse energy merged with the souls and flesh of my senior sect members and brothers, ultimately creating this Corpse Demon beneath me."
Yuan Tianfeng pointed to the monster beneath him, "Its body imprisons the three souls and seven spirits of my brothers, preventing them from being reborn forever.
I used my own body to repair the Sect Protection Array to suppress the Corpse Demon, hoping to completely resolve it, but I failed and could only leave behind such a wisp of residual soul obsession to guard this place.
However, after so many years of suppression, this Corpse Demon is no longer able to stir up any trouble.
Now only the last bit of power is needed for me to successfully resolve it, and it so happens you're here."
With that said, Yuan Tianfeng waved his hand, and two stone slabs fell to the ground, covered with dense cultivation techniques and words.
"This is the 'True Martial Refinement,' the foundational cultivation technique of my sect. Upon successfully cultivating it, your bodies will possess the power of the True Martial Sect.
At that time, pouring this congenial power into the Sect Protection Array will help me completely resolve this Corpse Demon and liberate all of my sect brothers.
Young one of the Zhang Family, half of the power in your body originally belonged to the True Martial Sect, so you should be able to cultivate it quickly.
Indeed, asking you to cultivate at this moment is somewhat a waste of your time.
But as long as you help me, allowing the line of the True Martial Sect to rest in peace, naturally I won't leave you unrewarded."
As he spoke, Yuan Tianfeng gestured with his hand, and the stone wall behind the great hall immediately shone with a burst of light.
It turned out to be a bronze wall, with gold pattern-branded rows of cultivation techniques and metal atlases, which seemed to depict a figure battling gods and demons in a primordial wilderness.
However, these things were now obscured by a thin mist, making them somewhat indistinct.
"This is the ultimate secret technique of my True Martial Sect, 'True Martial Battle God Atlas'!
Once you've helped my sect brothers to be liberated, it will be your reward.
You are the last ones to come here, and I do not wish for the True Martial Sect's legacy to be cut off in my hands."
Holding the stone slab with the 'True Martial Refinement,' the Zhang Family ancestor's hands trembled with excitement.
Unexpectedly, the highest secret technique of the True Martial Sect was right before his eyes!
Han Zheng silently picked up the stone slab with the 'True Martial Refinement.'
At the same time, the Taotie Furnace transmitted a prompt confirming that it indeed was an Innate Realm body refinement technique, the very foundation of all the True Martial Sect's techniques.
But in the next moment, Han Zheng immediately put the stone slab into his Qiankun Bag.
He exploded with vigor, instantly bringing the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Power to its limit.
The Zhang Family ancestor was stunned.
What was this kid up to? Before this Ancient Strongman, was he planning to turn on him?
They were all about to receive the inheritance, so what madness had this kid fallen into?
Before the Zhang Family ancestor could react, there was a loud boom from beneath Han Zheng's feet, and his form shot out like an arrow released from a bow, heading straight outside the hall!
But at that moment, the thousands of heads on the chest of the Corpse Demon suddenly opened their eyes, which were all blood-red.
A giant hand composed of innumerable demon flesh fell from the sky at an astonishing speed that it shrieked, slamming down into the spot where Han Zheng had just been.
Han Zheng was nearly turned into a pile of flesh by the palm strike!
At that moment, his form had already left the hall, and he dispersed the vigor from his body.
The Zhang Family ancestor hadn't reacted before he found himself clutched in the massive hand of the Corpse Demon, issuing one mournful howl after another.
"How did you realize something was amiss?"
Above the Corpse Demon's head, the residual soul of Yuan Tianfeng let out a sigh before asking.
Or rather, he wasn't Yuan Tianfeng; he had always been the Corpse Demon!
With the Array inside the great hall acting as a barrier, the opposite party couldn't get out, and Han Zheng also let out a sigh of relief.
"From the very beginning, I noticed something was wrong."
Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I learned about the affair between the Zhang Family's ancestor and Yuan Tianfeng from the Zhang Family. The other party was a person of deep emotions and would rather give up the glory and wealth of Great Zhou to return to his Sect to accompany his deceased elders and fellow disciples in their final rest. Yet, the bones of the True Martial Sect disciples outside were left unattended, which could only prove one thing—that undoubtedly something even more severe had happened, which made him too busy to care for those corpses. Of course, this was just my conjecture; your biggest slip-up was that you talked too much. You were eager to have me and that old thing from the Zhang Family cultivate the True Martial Sect's Cultivation Technique. You started by reasoning with us, then later tempted us with benefits, even going as far to offer the most secret techniques of the True Martial Sect. But this is far too different from Yuan Tianfeng's own character. I don't know what happened initially that allowed you to devour and merge with Yuan Tianfeng, and even gain his memories. But memory is memory; character is character. One can take a person's memories, but not their character."
"What a pity, I was just a little bit away. As long as I devoured one more Martial Artist who had cultivated the True Martial Refinement, I would have been able to break free from these restraints using the power of the True Martial Sect!"
The figure on the Corpse Demon's body turned into a black light and merged into its body.

Casually tossing the Zhang Family ancestor into its neck, where it lacked a head, accompanied by the crunching sounds and the wails of the Zhang Family ancestor, a flash of gold appeared on the Corpse Demon's body, very similar to the power exhibited by the Zhang Family ancestor.
A trace of gravity appeared in Han Zheng's eyes.
Li Jingzhong had told him to tread as if on thin ice, and it was not without reason.
There were too many dangerous places in the Martial World; one wrong step could mean no redemption.
Luckily, he had learned about that powerful figure from the True Martial Sect from that woman, Tan Qingzhu, and had taken precautions.
Otherwise, at first glance, one could easily have been deceived by this Corpse Demon.
At this moment, a thousand faces on the Corpse Demon's chest, and countless blood-red eyes, were intently staring at Han Zheng.
"I will remember you. When I break free, I will come to find you!"
Han Zheng sneered, raising his middle finger at the Corpse Demon before turning to leave.
This creature had been trapped here for over three thousand years; it was clear that it couldn't break free from the Array.
Although Yuan Tianfeng had perished, he must have made preparations to suppress that Corpse Demon for a lifetime before his death.
Moreover, if such a massive Corpse Demon were to break free, the masters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau would naturally take care of it.
He was just a newcomer now; the sky could fall, and it wouldn't be his responsibility to hold it up.
If it didn't break free, Han Zheng would come to find this Corpse Demon and seize the True Martial Battle God Atlas when his strength was sufficient in the future.
This time, Han Zheng's gains were not small.
Not to mention the exceptional Mystical Weapon, Autumn Water Shocking Swallow.
The most important was the True Martial Refinement.
Although this Cultivation Technique was merely of the Innate Realm, it was the foundational Cultivation Technique of the Ancient Sect's True Martial Sect.
With the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng was confident he could elevate it to the level of the True Martial Battle God Atlas.
The Swallowing Ghost Child was lucky; when he left, the ghostly wind did not blow again.
But when Han Zheng walked out, the ghostly wind blew once more, and he had to face it on his way back.
Passing by the corpses of the Martial Artists from earlier, Han Zheng also casually picked up several Mystical Weapons, trading them for about two thousand Hunger Level points.
The Taotie Furnace was very picky; it couldn't sacrifice broken or damaged Weapons, only intact ones.
There were a few intact Weapons in the distance, but Han Zheng, amidst the bone-eroding ghostly wind, didn't dare to take a detour to get them and opted to pick up Weapons along the way.
After leaving the range of the bone-eroding ghostly wind, Han Zheng paused at the edge to restore his Inner Strength True Qi before breaking out from the group of Demons in one breath.
Although Han Zheng was not afraid of these Demons, if they managed to exhaust him to the point of depletion, he would indeed be in trouble.
