Jiang Li and Luo Feng's group made an excuse and went to a secluded spot.

[Spent 10,000 points to purchase a Cross-World Teleport Card (24-hour limit)] A one-day Teleport Card cost 10,000 points. A seven-day Teleport Card cost 100,000 points. A one-month Teleport Card cost 1,000,000 points.

"This thing can only be used in an emergency."

Jiang Li shook his head.

He used the card at once.

[Chat group member 'Devourer Lord' used a Cross-World Teleport Card. Target world—Zombie World. Cross-world passage opened.]

The next moment,

A White Mist Vortex appeared before Jiang Li, surrounded by a layer of fluorescent light.

This was a cross-world passage. Only members of the Myriad Worlds Chat Group could see it.

Jiang Li stepped into the vortex. Before his eyes stretched a boundless void, filled with nothing but endless white.

After a brief moment of disorientation,

Jiang Li's feet touched the ground. A gloomy sky filled his vision.

Rain poured down, and thunder rumbled overhead.

Below, Uncle Nine was in a sorry state, covered in mud, with blood at the corner of his mouth. He had clearly been badly injured.

As for Qiusheng and Wencai, they had already been beaten unconscious.

At the center, a figure dressed in Qing official robes stood atop a coffin, enduring the baptism of the thunder.

"A tribulation?"

"This zombie is actually undergoing a tribulation!"

Jiang Li's pupils contracted.

Jiang Li didn't have time to think about anything else. All his attention was focused on the Royal Zombie as he watched every change in it.

Beneath the heavenly lightning, the creature seemed to be undergoing tempering. Its entire body was rapidly transforming.

Originally, this zombie had been only Bronze Level, with yellowish skin.

But in the blink of an eye, its skin turned snow-white, gleaming like silver armor.

Bony growths also began to protrude from its face.

Jiang Li observed the entire process clearly with his mind.

"Crackle!"

A little later, the Corpse-Suppressing Talisman on the creature's head spontaneously caught fire.

It woke from its slumber, having become a spirit!

"Jiang Li, big shot?"

Uncle Nine looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. He wore a skintight outfit and had a standard crew cut; his features were sharply defined, and he was impossibly handsome.

What drew Uncle Nine in most was the man's aura.

At a glance, he was certain this was the big shot from the group, Jiang Li!

"Go!"

Jiang Li formed a sword seal with his fingers. A Flying Sword appeared and carried Uncle Nine and his disciples away.

Then,

He fixed his gaze on the Silver Zombie, but didn't rush to attack.

He was extremely interested in creatures that turned into zombies after death.

If he could uncover the secret behind them, wouldn't he be able to command an army of the dead?

At the very least, he could develop a cultivation method that would let these dead things cultivate and evolve into a different level of life.

It was like shedding a husk: cast off the old shell, take on a new one, and be reborn anew!

"Roar!"

The Silver Zombie, which the lightning had knocked back into its coffin, let out a furious roar. It flashed and leaped out again.

"Zombie!"

"The zombie's out!"

The Ren Family members were terrified out of their wits and scattered in every direction.

But several of them failed to escape and had their blood drained by the Royal Zombie.

In that instant, the Silver Zombie's aura surged again, reaching its peak.

"As expected, it's just a mindless creature, with a chaotic Sea of Consciousness?"

Jiang Li looked away, having already reached an understanding.

With a sharp shout, his aura surged. Veins bulged across his body as his skin began to redden, and something beneath it seemed to be writhing violently, trying to break out.

Diamond Dragon God Body!

"Let's see what you can do!"

In an instant, Jiang Li transformed. The elegant, handsome man became a humanoid creature with a prominent pair of horns and a dragon's tail.

In the Devouring World, he had been suppressing his power, afraid that standing out too much would draw murderous attention.

Hong and Thunder God were both honorable men, without selfish motives.

But what about everyone else?

Jiang Li still couldn't be sure.

But in this world, he could unleash his power without restraint!

"Roar!"

Jiang Li bellowed, and the sound that came from him was a dragon's roar. His figure flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared before the Silver Zombie.

The Silver Zombie clearly froze for a moment. It seemed unable to understand how Jiang Li, who had been a hundred meters away, had suddenly appeared in front of it.

But that didn't stop Jiang Li from throwing a punch!

His terrifying punch didn't hit the Silver Zombie. Instead, it smashed into the coffin beneath it.

As the richest man in Ren Family Town, the owner's coffin was extraordinarily valuable. An ordinary person couldn't even move it, let alone smash it to pieces with one punch.

Yet Jiang Li's simple straight punch not only reduced the coffin to splinters but also blasted a ten-meter-deep crater into the ground, as if a cannonball had struck.

"The Diamond Dragon God Body really is powerful!"

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction.

He had deliberately aimed that punch away.

He wanted to test his strength.

But there was no need for that now.

"Now it's your turn."

Jiang Li's gaze swept over the Silver Zombie.

Although the Silver Zombie couldn't speak, it sensed his killing intent. Its spirit nearly fled in terror, and a hint of pleading appeared in its eyes.

But Jiang Li acted as if he hadn't seen it and punched straight through its body.

Pfft...

In an instant, rotten flesh flew everywhere, and the Silver Zombie was utterly erased from the world.

Devouring World.

A day later, Jiang Li returned.

Although the trip to Uncle Nine's world had cost him 10,000 points for a Teleport Card, it had broadened his horizons.

Especially getting to chat and eat with Uncle Nine, Qiusheng, and Wencai—names he'd known well in his previous life—and offer them pointers on martial arts. It had been quite enjoyable.

Moreover, watching the Royal Zombie undergo its tribulation had given him some insight.

While the iron was hot, the entire process of the Royal Zombie's tribulation began to replay in Jiang Li's consciousness.

He began using his heaven-defying comprehension to deduce and unravel every mystery of the process!

Once he finished unraveling it, all the knowledge he had accumulated burst forth from within his consciousness and merged with his new understanding.

[You observed the process of corpse transformation and learned that life has its way, death has its way, yin and yang unite, and life and death revolve...] [You discovered the great secret of life and death and comprehended the Corpse Emperor Scripture!]

No one knew how much time had passed before something new finally appeared in Jiang Li's consciousness.

He opened his eyes, and a torrent of information flashed through his mind!

The Corpse Emperor Scripture!

It was a cultivation method that used the corpse as its foundation!

The Corpse Emperor Scripture was quite unusual. It wasn't a technique practiced only after death, once one had turned into a zombie.
