The Lord's Empire (Part 2)

Chapter 677-681

Chapter 677: Final Trial

The corpses quickly melted into bloodied water without leaving behind any hairs or bones. Zhao Fu had about 1,000 corpses thrown into the lake, which gave off a pungent bloody smell.

Zhao Fu then threw in some Stage 1 and Stage 2 spirit grass. Now that Great Qin mainly used Stage 3 medicinal pills, Stage 1 and Stage 2 spirit kinds of grass weren't very useful. Afterward, Zhao Fu also threw in 1,000 energy crystals.

All of this was done per the instructions he had received from the Corpse Soul Blood Lake. The Corpse Soul Blood Lake was a forbidden technique, and creating new life was like something out of a science-fiction movie. The spirit grasses and energy stones would cause the created lives to become even more powerful.

The spirit grass and energy stones quickly fused into the bloody water, and the pungent smell became stronger. The bloody water roiled as if it was boiling.

Zhao Fu looked at the soldiers beside him and motioned at them, and they dragged ten people to the edge of the lake before pushing them in.

"Arghhhh..."

Pained howls sounded out, and those people seemed to have been dropped into a boiling pot. Their facial features were distorted in pain, after which their bodies slowly sank to the bottom of the lake. Their cries gradually died down but did not fully disappear.

Even at the bottom of the blood lake, they were still howling in pain, but because of the bloody water, their cries were quite faint.

Zhao Fu's expression did not change, and he stood beside the blood lake and quietly waited for the results.

Time gradually passed, and soon, it was night time. There were now torches around the blood lake to illuminate the surroundings, and at that time, there was finally a reaction from the blood lake.

Ten monsters that were four meters tall and had muscular bodies; gray skin; and ugly, savage faces rose up from the depths of the blood lake. Their eyes were closed, and they floated on top of the blood lake, not moving.

Zhao Fu waved his hand and shot out a black light, enlivening the blood lake's powers. The monsters above the blood lake suddenly opened their blood-red eyes and gave off bestial roars.

Zhao Fu ordered them to climb up before coming to their side.

The ten monsters gave off powerful auras and breathed raggedly like beasts. Even if they hated Great Qin previously, they were now completely subservient to Zhao Fu. However, Zhao Fu was a bit disappointed, as their strength was only about Stage 3.

Zhao Fu looked at the Corpse Soul Blood Lake's description carefully and ordered people to bring over a captive with Stage 1 Cultivation, and he had him thrown into the lake. Because there was only one person, the process was much faster.

A few hours later, a six-meter tall monster appeared. This monster had Stage 4 strength, and seeing it, Zhao Fu gave a trace of a smile.

The Corpse Soul Blood Lake could convert 35 Stage 3 monsters and one Stage 4 monster per day. Calling them 'monsters' was not a good name, so Zhao Fu decided to name the Stage 3 monsters Corpse Soul Guards and the Stage 4 monsters Corpse Soul Commanders.

The Corpse Soul Blood Lake could not create even more powerful monsters, but creating 35 Stage 3 Corpse Soul Guards and 1 Stage 4 Corpse Soul Commander per day was already quite good. Currently, Great Qin did not have many people breaking through to Stage 3 every day.

Moreover, with their strength, ordinary Stage 3 soldiers were unable to deal with the Corpse Soul Guards. With their powerful and massive bodies, if they wore Great Qin's Talisman Armor and used heavy weapons, they would be simply monstrous.
