A Brilliant Display (Part One)

Battle raged in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, now completely engulfed by an endless horde of Zombie. Fierce fighting was everywhere, with everyone from ordinary servants and palace maids to leaders of various Sect taking action. Under the Zombie Army, it was a fierce battle of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals.

The Corpse King following the Golden Body Bodhisattva were all incredibly powerful. In one-on-one combat, they were no less formidable than the Sect Master of the Large Sect. For example, the Corpse King here launched an attack on Zen Master Da Wu and, relying on his incomparably strong physical body, actually managed to suppress Zen Master Da Wu.

The Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!

Zhuge Xiang, wielding the God Slaying Spear with earth-shattering power, slammed it fiercely towards the Corpse King. The shaft of the God Slaying Spear transformed into a streak of light, illuminating a Human Heart arc in the air. This strike, exceeding 300,000 attack power, was so powerful that it caused people to turn pale with fear.

The spear shaft clashed with the pair of enormous battle Battleaxe, a clash comparable to Zombie King at the Great Accomplishment Stage and Zhuge Xiang's Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering with over 300,000 attack power. This clash between the axe and the Spear was an attack that completely abandoned all fancy moves and was purely determined by brute force.

A powerful force surged forth, causing Zhuge Xiang to involuntarily retreat four or five steps, staring in horror at the Zombie King.

As expected of someone with cultivation comparable to the Great Accomplishment Stage, and as expected of Zombie with naturally strong physical strength, this was the first time Zhuge Xiang had been forced back since he mastered the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Third Layer, especially since the Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering Skill had been used.

However, while Zhuge Xiang was shocked by the Zombie King's formidable physical strength, little did he know that the Zombie King was even more terrified by his body. In the fierce clash, Zhuge Xiang was only forced back four or five steps, but the Zombie King was directly forced back seven or eight steps.

At first glance, this Zombie King, whose strength was supposed to be based on physical power, was actually weaker than Zhuge Xiang in terms of sheer physical strength?

"This is impossible!" the Zombie King, who had been knocked back, exclaimed in astonishment and disbelief.

Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, while the Zombie King was equivalent to the Great Accomplishment Stage. Furthermore, Zhuge Xiang was merely a human Cultivator with a naturally weak physique, while Zombie were known for their physical strength. Therefore, from any perspective, Zhuge Xiang should not be a match for the Zombie King. However, the reality was quite different.

"What a powerful physical body..." Seeing that Zhuge Xiang actually had the upper hand over the Corpse King in terms of physical strength, Zen Master Da Wu Dawu's face also showed surprise. Zen Master Da Wu had just personally tested how strong the Corpse King was.

"You lowly human! I will make sure you die a horrible death!" Enraged after being forced back by a Nascent Soul Stage human, the Corpse King roared, wielding his great Battleaxe with terrifying force, as if it could cleave the Heaven and Earth.

Seeing the Corpse King charging even more frantically, Zhuge Xiang glanced around and saw that Lu Yuling was also entangled with a Corpse King that had rushed out of the Gate of the Hungry Ghost Path. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the Yin Demon Ring of the Yin Yang Demonic Rings towards Lu Yuling: "Lu Yuling, catch..."

If a man and a woman each possess one of the Yin Yang Demonic Rings, they can be of one mind. Of course, more importantly, they provide a 100% boost to all attributes, which is what Zhuge Xiang values most.

Although his own power was great, the Corpse King's power was not weak either. Even if he could overpower it, he would still have to fight hard to defeat it. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang decided to use the power of the Yin Yang Demonic Rings.

Zombie horde? In Zhuge Xiang's view, these are all Experience Points; how could he miss them?

"Alright!" Lu Yuling stretched out her fair and delicate hand and grabbed the magic ring that Zhuge Xiang threw to her. Although she didn't know the specific effects of the Demon Realm, she didn't hesitate and put it on. Instantly, a sense of enlightenment arose in her heart.

She could clearly sense Zhuge Xiang's thoughts. It was as if two souls had abandoned all their guard and were completely honest with each other. With the Yin Yang Demonic Rings on her wrist, Lu Yuling's overall attributes were also doubled.

"Want to kill me? We'll see if you have the ability..." Having obtained the Yin Yang Demonic Rings and received a 100% attribute boost, Zhuge Xiang felt an incomparably powerful force coursing through his body. Looking at the Zombie King rushing towards him, he sneered and, as he spoke, slammed his Spear down hard.

Bang...

This time, the Zombie King was defeated even more decisively. Its strength and Attack Speed had increased exponentially. The Zombie King, which was already slightly inferior to Zhuge Xiang, could not withstand Zhuge Xiang's full-force attack. The faster it charged, the faster Knockback. Under the sweeping attack of Zhuge Xiang's God Slaying Spear, Knockback like a meteor.

Taking advantage of your weakness to finish you off, how could Zhuge Xiang let go of such a huge amount of Experience Points? With a flash, he chased after it. With all his attributes boosted, Zhuge Xiang's Movement Speed naturally increased exponentially. Putting away the God Slaying Spear, Zhuge Xiang grabbed the Zombie King's claws with both hands.

"Ha!" With a loud exhale, Zhuge Xiang split his hands apart. Amidst screams and flying blood, the powerful Zombie King was actually torn in two by Zhuge Xiang. This tyrannical and invincible power was truly terrifying.

"Too... too strong..." Seeing Zhuge Xiang's powerful physical strength tear apart the Zombie King, whose cultivation was no less than his own, Zen Master Da Wu could not calm his shock even while chanting Amitābha Buddha.

"Master! Don't stop the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound!" After dismembering the Zombie King, Zhuge Xiang turned to Zen Master Da Wu and said, "The Heavenly Demon Zen Sound that permeates the entire area can greatly weaken the Zombie's power, which is of great use to me."

"Oh, okay..." Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Zen Master Da Wu naturally understood the importance of his Heavenly Demon Zen Sound to the Battlefield. He nodded, and the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound began to be chanted again, its magnificent and sacred Zen Sound enticing people to do good.

With the help of the Zen Master Da Wu Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, Zhuge Xiang chuckled and casually picked up the pair of large Battleaxe belonging to the Zombie King. He weighed them in his hands; they were very heavy, probably weighing over a thousand pounds. However, this was exactly what Zhuge Xiang wanted.

With a thought, Lu Yuling waved her slender hands, and petals appeared one by one. Dressed in snow-white robes, she gracefully arrived beside Zhuge Xiang. The Yin Yang Demonic Rings — with their Human Heart aligned and working together, they could unleash an indescribable power...

Lu Yuling Spell ice magic with ease; even if she couldn't defeat the Zombie King, she could at least severely affect him. Meanwhile, Zhuge Xiang's massive Battleaxe slashed down with overwhelming force, enough to tear even the Zombie King to pieces...

The Zen Master Da Wu's Heavenly Demon Zen Sound resounded through the sky. Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling were of the same mind and hunted down one Zombie King after another on the Battlefield. All of these Zombie Kings that Zhuge Xiang killed were converted into huge amounts of experience points, ranging from tens of millions to nearly 100 million.

The experience bar rapidly increased, causing Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level to break through continuously, reaching the Third Layer, Fourth Layer, and Fifth Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage...

"Five Thunders Strike Head!", "Sword Qi Storm", "Ice Seal Thousand Miles"...

When hunting the Zombie King, if he sees too many Zombie or a bunch of Hairy Zombie gathered together, Zhuge Xiang will not hesitate to use his area-of-effect Skill. With the blessing of the Necklace of the Spell God, Zhuge Xiang's area-of-effect Spell also caused terrifying damage, and countless Hairy Zombie were strangled and turned into Experience Points.

Zhuge Xiang's strength was irresistible, and with Lu Yuling's cooperation, he was even more formidable. Countless Zombie King were easily slain by him. This formidable strength naturally attracted the attention of many, even the Golden Body Bodhisattva, whose gaze fell upon Zhuge Xiang...

"Oh? It's him? As expected? He has actually grown to this level..." The Golden Body Bodhisattva, who was the Golden Winged Corpse King back then, saw Zhuge Xiang, a thoughtful look flashed between his brows, and then he recognized Zhuge Xiang.

Back then, Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level was low, but the Golden Winged Corpse King extended an olive branch to him because the Golden Winged Corpse King could see that Zhuge Xiang was destined for greatness. Sure enough, in just a few years, he has grown to this level.

"You three, go and give it a try," the Golden Body Bodhisattva said in a low voice to the last three Corpse King standing beside him, after carefully examining Zhuge Xiang.

"Yes, Bodhisattva!" Upon hearing the words of the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the last three Corpse Kings who had been guarding the Golden Body Bodhisattva without making a move nodded and said, as they spoke, their pale white Bone Wings vibrated and they pounced towards Zhuge Xiang.

"Three Consecutive Slashes!" Although Zhuge Xiang had cleared most of his Skill due to the skill Reset Book, he still retained Skill like Three Consecutive Slashes that allowed him to move. His figure transformed into a fleeting shadow, weaving between the three Zombie Kings, his chilling killing intent locking onto all their fatal points.

"Ice Eye!" Lu Yuling's eyes flashed with a chilling silver-white light, striking one of the Zombie King and instantly slowing it down, leaving its body covered in a thin layer of Ice Shards.

Pfft...

The final target of the Three Consecutive Slashes was bleeding. Seriously, with that massive Battleaxe cleaving the Zombie King in two, how could it not bleed?

The Three Consecutive Slashes and Lu Yuling's Ice Eye worked together perfectly. Before the three Zombie Kings could even reach Zhuge Xiang, one of them was already crippled. The severely injured Zombie King unleashed a burst of Corpse Qi, sending Zhuge Xiang flying and shattering the Ice Shards on his body.

The Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!

However, how could he let the duck that was already in his hand fly away? The moment he was knocked back, Zhuge Xiang activated his Explosive Steps, appearing in front of the Zombie King. His huge Battleaxe transformed into a streak of lightning, slashing down fiercely.

The Zombie King, who had raised his hands to defend himself, had his arms brutally severed, and his body was cleaved in two... (To be continued...)
