Jiang Li made an excuse to Luo Feng and the others, then slipped away to a secluded spot.
[Consumed 10,000 points to purchase Cross-World Teleport Card (24-hour duration)]
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 is only good for emergencies."
Jiang Li shook his head.
He immediately activated the teleport card.
[Group member 'Devourer Lord' has used a Cross-World Teleport Card. Target world—Zombie World. Cross-world passage has been opened.]
The next moment, a White Mist Vortex appeared before Jiang Li, shrouded in a layer of Fluorescent Light.
This was the cross-world teleport passage, visible only to members of the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
Jiang Li stepped into the vortex, and before him stretched nothing but endless white void.
After a brief daze, Jiang Li's feet touched solid ground, and what met his eyes was a gloomy sky.
Rain poured down in torrents, thunder rumbling across the heavens.
Below, Uncle Nine was in a sorry state, covered in mud, with blood at the corner of his mouth—clearly badly injured.
As for Qiusheng and Wencai, they had already been beaten unconscious.
And at the center, a figure clad in a Qing dynasty official robe stood atop a coffin, basking in the lightning's baptism.
"Lightning tribulation?"
"This zombie is actually undergoing tribulation!"
Jiang Li's pupils contracted.
He didn't dwell on it for now; his entire focus was fixed on that Royal Zombie, observing every change within it.
Under the heavenly thunder, the creature seemed to be tempered, its zombie body rapidly transforming.
Originally, this zombie was only at Bronze Level, its body a sickly yellow.
But in the span of an instant, its entire skin turned snow-white, gleaming like silver armor.
On its face, horn-like protrusions began to emerge.
Jiang Li's mind tracked every detail of the process clearly.
"Crack!"
After a while longer, the Corpse-Suppressing Talisman on its head ignited on its own.
It awakened from its slumber, having already become a spirit!
"Senior Jiang Li?"
Uncle Nine stared at the suddenly appearing man in a tight-fitting suit, with a standard buzz cut, sharply defined features, and a handsomeness that defied reason.
Especially the aura about him—it instantly caught Uncle Nine's attention.
With just one look, he knew this was the big shot from the group, Jiang Li!
"Go!"
Jiang Li formed a sword seal with his hand, and a Flying Sword carried Uncle Nine and his disciples away.
Then, he fixed a cold stare on the Silver Zombie, making no move to attack just yet.
He was deeply intrigued by this thing that had died and turned into a corpse.
If he could grasp its secrets, wouldn't he be able to command an army of the undead?
At the very least, he could develop a technique to let these dead things cultivate, evolving toward another level of life.
It was like shedding an old shell for a new one—a perfect rebirth!
"Roar!"
The Silver Zombie, driven back into its coffin by the thunder, let out a violent roar, then flashed out of the coffin again.
"Zombie!"
"The zombie is out!"
The Ren Family members were terrified out of their wits, scattering in panic.
But a few didn't make it, drained of blood by the Royal Zombie.
In that instant, the Silver Zombie's aura surged again, reaching its peak.
"So it really is just a mindless thing, its Sea of Consciousness a chaotic blank?"
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze, a certain understanding dawning in his heart.
With a sharp cry, his aura surged explosively, veins bulging as his skin flushed red. Something beneath the surface writhed violently, struggling to break free.
Diamond Dragon God Body!
"Today, I'll test your power!"
In an instant, Jiang Li completed his transformation, shifting from a handsome, elegant man into a horned, dragon-tailed humanoid creature.
In the Devouring World, he had been suppressing his strength, afraid that being too conspicuous would invite lethal danger.
Hong and Thunder God were stalwart men, free of selfish motives.
But what about the others?
Jiang Li couldn't be sure.
In this world, however, he could unleash himself without restraint!
"Aooooh!"
Jiang Li let out a roar—a true dragon's cry—and then his form flickered. The next moment, he appeared before the Silver Zombie.
The Silver Zombie was visibly stunned, unable to comprehend how Jiang Li, who had been a hundred meters away, had suddenly appeared right in front of it.
But that didn't stop Jiang Li from throwing a punch!
The terrifying blow didn't land on the Silver Zombie itself, but on the coffin beneath it.
As the wealthiest man in Ren Family Town, its coffin was priceless. An ordinary person couldn't even budge it, let alone shatter it with a single punch.
Yet Jiang Li's simple straight punch not only blasted the coffin into splinters but also carved a ten-meter-deep crater into the ground, as if a cannonball had struck.
"This Diamond Dragon God Body really is strong enough!"
Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction.
He had deliberately aimed that punch off-target.
It was to test his own power.
But now, there was no need for that anymore.
"Next, it's your turn."
Jiang Li's gaze swept over the Silver Zombie.
Though the Silver Zombie couldn't speak, it sensed the killing intent, its soul fleeing in terror as a pleading look appeared in its eyes.
But Jiang Li acted as if he hadn't seen it, driving his fist directly into its body.
Pfft...
In an instant, rotting flesh flew everywhere, and the Silver Zombie vanished completely from the world.

Chapter 41: Inviting Moon: Big Shot, Want to Try a Long-Distance Romance?
Devouring World.
A day later, Jiang Li returned.
This trip to Uncle Nine's world had cost him a 10,000-point teleportation card, but it had broadened his horizons.
Especially chatting and dining with Uncle Nine, Qiusheng, and Wencai—figures he knew well from his past life—and giving them pointers on martial arts. It was quite enjoyable.
Moreover, witnessing the Royal Zombie's tribulation had given him insights.
Striking while the iron was hot, the entire process of the Royal Zombie's tribulation began to replay in Jiang Li's mind.
With his heaven-defying comprehension, he started deducing and analyzing every secret of that process!
Once his analysis was complete, all his accumulated foundations erupted within his consciousness, merging with it.
[You observed the corpse transformation process, understanding that life has its path, death has its path, yin and yang intermingle, life and death cycle...]
[You uncovered the great secret of life and death, comprehending the Corpse Emperor Scripture!]
Time passed—how long, he didn't know—until something entirely new took shape in Jiang Li's mind.
He opened his eyes, and a torrent of information surged through his heart.
Corpse Emperor Scripture!
A cultivation method that trains using a corpse body!
The Corpse Emperor Scripture was utterly unique; it wasn't a technique meant only for those who died and became zombies.
