Chapter 26: Corpse Core Bone Refinement!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Hua remained silent. To him, who was about to enter the immortal sect, Su Jie was just a passerby in his life.

Su Jie naturally did not know what Bai Hua and the others were thinking. At that moment, he had already returned to Qingshui Town.

After returning to Qingshui Town, Su Jie took a shower and rested for a while. As usual, he started his cultivation again.

“Speaking of which… There’s something special about this corpse core. When I touch it, it feels like a cold current is about to invade my bones.”

In addition to cultivating, Su Jie studied the Corpse Core he had obtained from the giant corpse’s head.

If demons and ghosts had a deep enough cultivation level and could condense an inner core, the giant corpse was clearly not at that level. The corpse core condensed in its head was only a slightly special foreign object.

However, Su Jie realized that the energy in this Corpse Core seemed to be corroding his bones!

A strange light flashed before Su Jie’s eyes. “My Ape Demon King Kong Fist refines the body by mainly training the muscles but no matter how strong the muscles are, if the bones are not tough enough, I won’t be able to exert more strength. If I can temper my bones, can I break through the limit and reach a higher realm in the Ape Demon King Kong Fist?”

No matter how strong his muscles were, he still needed his bones to support him. Otherwise, he was like a fragile wooden stick. If he swung it too hard, it might break.

Tempering the bones! Su Jie felt that he might have found the path to advance his Ape Demon King Kong Fist!

Of course, it was easier said than done. How to refine bones was still a major problem.

Although his bones were tough, if they were damaged, the consequences would be very serious. It would take at least ten days to half a month for them to recover. It would even be difficult for them to fully recover, leaving behind huge repercussions!

“The cold corpse aura in this Corpse Core will corrode my bones. I can swallow it and experience the process of the corrosion. From there, I can comprehend the bone refinement technique!”

Su Jie held the corpse core in his hand. He was very excited. This corpse core might help him advance further.

However, Su Jie did not dare to swallow this Corpse Core himself due to the information he had learned from Bai Hua.

This Corpse Core was condensed from cold Corpse Qi. To a living person, it was like a poison. If one dared to swallow it into their body, the result would be that their bones and their muscles would rot until they died!

Su Jie had no intention of committing suicide but he could give the Corpse Pill to the ape avatar to consume and let it experience the method of bone refinement.

After all, a poison that could kill a person probably could not kill an elephant, let alone a demon beast!

The ape avatar had long evolved into a demon beast and its physique was far stronger than Su Jie’s. It would not have a big problem consuming the Corpse Core!

Thinking of this, Su Jie immediately went to the Yinchuan Mountain where the ape avatar resided and found him.

The current ape avatar was the absolute apex of Yinchuan Mountain. Its muscles were gnarled and its body was extremely burly. Even the huge corpse from before looked incomparably thin and small in front of it. It even emitted the pressure of a demon beast!

Su Jie took out the Corpse Core and threw it at the ape avatar. The ape avatar opened its mouth and swallowed it.

After digesting it, an extremely cold airflow spread out in the ape avatar’s body, corroding its bones and muscles.

Su Jie’s soul was connected to the ape avatar. He could feel the changes in the ape avatar and felt extremely cold!

“The Corpse Qi in this Corpse Core… It is corroding flesh and bones! It’s extremely uncomfortable for the ape avatar to directly swallow it. If it were me, I would most likely be in danger!”

Su Jie thought to himself. It was fortunate that he did not rashly choose to swallow it himself.

Cold! Extreme cold!

Frost seemed to condense on the black fur of the ape avatar as its muscles stiffened.

“ROAR!”

The ape avatar let out a deafening roar and started practicing the Ape Demon King Kong Fist. It wanted to use the cultivation of the fist techniques to promote the flow of blood and dispel the cold from the depths of its body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the ape avatar used the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, it was like a howling wind. Every punch swept up a strong wind, causing the nearby flowers and plants to bend, break, and fly. The terrifying aftershock was about to uproot the trees!

During the intense exercise, the blood of the ape avatar flowed rapidly and a warm current rose in the depths of his originally cold body.

Su Jie felt the same. He felt that the ape avatar had endured the corrosion of the corpse aura. Moreover, the bones in his body became slightly stronger under the tempering of this cold corpse aura!

“Remember this feeling …”

Su Jie was fully focused on memorizing the feeling of the corpse aura refining the bones. He understood that that would be the key to breaking the limit of his Ape Demon King Kong Fist!

More than two hours later, the ape avatar survived the corrosion of the corpse aura with the help of its strong physique. Its body was not injured at all and it was even stronger.

“I don’t have any extra Corpse Cores so I can’t use the Corpse Qi to temper my bones. However, I have the Qi cultivated from cultivating Body Hardening Technique. I can replace the Corpse Qi with Qi to achieve the same goal!”

Su Jie’s eyes lit up as his mind raced.

“Ape Demon Hugging Tree!”

“Ape Demon Moving Mountains!”

Instinctively, Su Jie began to cultivate the Ape Demon King Kong Fist. As he cultivated it, Su Jie felt a burning sensation all over his body. Not only that, during the process of cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist, he mobilized his Qi and attached it to his bones to temper it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

When Su Jie’s Ape Demon King Kong Fist was executed to the limit, he heard a crisp clanging sound. It was whispers of Qi tempering his bones like small hammers continuously smashing his bones, forging them like metal and tempering them into steel!

This made Su Jie feel a splitting pain all over his body.

“Huhuhu…”

When his stamina and Qi were almost exhausted, Su Jie stopped cultivating. His entire body was in pain but correspondingly, a numbing feeling rose. It was coming from his bones and muscles, gradually growing.

“My body is growing… My trajectory is not wrong. This new bone refinement technique can help my Ape Demon King Kong Fist break through the peak of perfection!”

Su Jie was overjoyed. This was a sense of growth that he had not experienced in a long time.

As his Ape Demon King Kong Fist reached the perfected third level, Su Jie had 2,000 pounds of divine power in one arm, which was the limit of his body. It would be difficult for him to grow any further.

However, with the experience of the ape avatar swallowing the Corpse Core and the Corpse Qi corroding his bones, Su Jie created the Bone Refinement Technique. This allowed his body, which had originally reached the limit, to continue growing and break through the limit!

Su Jie took out a small bottle and swallowed a few Body Strengthening Pills to replenish his energy. When he recovered a little, he began to cultivate the Ape Demon King Kong Fist again. Together with his Qi, he tempered his bones.

During this period, Su Jie stopped for two to three days and went to Heiye City to help with the usual bandit extermination operation.

Not only could Su Jie cultivate this bone refinement technique but the ape avatar cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist and Body Hardening Technique could do the same. With the same method, he could make its already powerful Ape Demon body even stronger!
