Chapter 2766 The Corpse Controller (Part One)
The air within the huge city was filled with a tremendous aura of death.
Every street andnes were full of corpse soldiers bustling here and there to carry out various tasks.
Austin tried to blend in naturally using his Aura Disguising Skill as he turned himself into an ordinary
corpse soldier.
After about half a day of wandering inside the city, he observed that most buildings were like
storehouses of corpse soldiers'' bodies piled up, one on top of the other.
Before activation, all corpse soldiers were just like ordinary cadavers of humans and beasts.
However, he also noticed that there were a fewrge pces in the middle of the city which were
suspicious. There were guards at the gates, and signs of life could be faintly senseding from
inside.
Austin sneakily set foot into the center of the city, avoiding any detection. He still remembered the
reason why he came here in the first ce. He needed to find the Evil Shadow King and Damon from
the hybrid titan race who had been held captive by people from the underworld in order to threaten
Austin. He then discreetly slipped into one of the pces to search wherever his friends might be
hidden.
As he entered, he saw more than ten corpse soldiers guarding and roaming around the pce.
The more intriguing part was when Austin saw a great number of corpse soldiers, continuously entering
the pce carrying huge ck cloth bags.
''Now wait a second! I recognize those bags! Those ck bags must contain corpses!''
Austin already noted this for a while and reached to the conclusion.
When he pretended to be one of the corpse soldiers and sneaked into this city, he had a chance to see
the samerge ck bags from up close. He then knew that these ck bags were space treasures
being used to store corpses.
Thus he began to wonder why those corpse soldiers were bringing such a number of bodies into the
pce.
''Don''t tell me this is the ce where they mass produce these horrible corpse soldiers? Is this where
they form their hideous army?''
Austin was confounded as he saw the scenes happening before him. A chill ran down his spine as the
thought suddenly hit him.
Austin came to understand the underworld''s reason behind acquiring an enormous quantity of dead
bodies. They refined them into countless corpse soldiers which could easily be manipted, thus
strengthening the power of their army.
''This ce is where the corpse soldiers were made!'' That must be the only reason why the numerous
corpses were being continuously moved inside the pce, and why the ce was heavily guarded.
Upon witnessing all these, Austin became even more curious about the things going on inside and
more eager to see the process with his own eyes.
He patiently waited for an opportunity and seized it immediately upon seeing an opening. He aimed for

one of the corpse soldiers and easily controlled it. After sessfully manipting the corpse soldier, he
transferred it into the ve Tower and started taking the corpse soldier''s ce and carrying the ck
bags into the pce.
With aposed face, Austin perfectly acted and joined the group of corpse soldiers carrying several
ck cloth bags going into the pce.
Upon entering the pce, Austin meticulously observed its interior to find any notable information.
''Was that... An altar?'' Austin was surprised at what he saw.
''And a Taoist priest? A true Taoist priest! How is that even possible?''
Austin severely doubted what he had seen for he could not begin to exin how it could be real.
The altar that Austin saw was conspicuously ced inside the pce.
Various objects could be seen disyed on the altar such as a wooden sword, several stacks of yellow
rune papers, a bronze bell, a roll of ink thread, apass, a mirror with eight-diagrams pattern, a rice
bowl, a bottle full of chicken blood, and pieces of cinnabar. There were also several rows ofmand
g erected on it.
In a single nce, Austin recognized clearly that this was a typical altar being used by any Taoist priest
when performing Taoist magic.
Behind the said altar stood a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a long robe with visible patterns of
the eight diagrams on it. He waved his hands as he drew mysterious patterns in the air with his sword,
and uttered indecipherable words that must be magic spells.
In front of him were a row of corpses lined up lying on the wide-open space.
Everything he saw was so familiar. Austin was pretty sure that the elements and the acts performed by
this Taoist priest were identical to what he once saw on Earth—the world he came from.
''The characters…'' Austin tried to squint his eyes to clearly see the letters. ''Wait a minute… that''s the
Austin was dumbfounded. He could not believe what he just saw, and did not know what was going on
anymore.
Written on the yellowmand g on the altar was the word "COMMAND"!
He became confused about the fact that the word was written in characters that could only be seen and
learned from the world he originally came from.
Since Austin arrived in the Prime Martial World, he had always used thenguage known in this
universe whethermunicating verbally or in writing.
But for the first time, he saw anguage not of this universe, being used here.
To top it all, it was anguage from Earth. He was so sure that nobody knew of that ce except for
him, but maybe he made a mistake.
"Humm…" the Taoist priest continued with the ritual of raising the dead bodies. "…asmanded by
the Taoist God!"
The Taoist priest finished his chants, grabbed a handful of rune papers from the altar and threw them
towards the corpses lying in front of him.
The yellow rune papers surged into the air and glimmered like snowkes. They slowly descended and
"Rise!"
The Taoist priest''s movements were as fast as lightning. He grabbed the wooden sword, raised it and
pointed at the corpses.
