Sudden Upheaval: Lin Xuan's Corpse Transformation

Upon entering the hidden door, Li Yunjing was completely plunged into darkness.

The darkness was so strange that it rendered Li Yunjing's five senses and Divine Sense ineffective.

Li Yunjing couldn't see, touch, or hear anything; even his Divine Sense was ineffective.

Fortunately, a beam of light suddenly appeared ahead.

With the restoration of Li Yunjing's vision, his other senses also began to recover.

"What just happened? That was terrifying!"

"I just felt completely disconnected from this world, it was terrifying."

"..."

After regaining their senses, many members of the Jin Household wore expressions of terror.

Clearly, what they had just experienced terrified them.

Ahead, Wang Ci spoke up, "This is the Severing Spirit Restriction, a rather troublesome formation that can strip cultivators within it of their senses."

However, breaking this formation is simple; all that is needed is to restore one of the senses.

Therefore, this formation can be used to deceive those who do not understand it.

Let's keep going.

Wang Ci walked forward, and the others followed suit.

Li Yunjing walked along, looking at both sides.

They entered a passageway with smooth, undecorated walls.

After walking for a short while, Li Yunjing suddenly found himself in a bright and clear world.

Without any warning, Li Yunjing and the others walked straight out of the passageway and arrived at the fourth floor.

This fourth level is not large, probably only a few dozen feet in front and behind, and about the same in the left and right.

Strangely, however, it was completely empty; there was nothing there at all.

"Strange, there's no danger here."

Cao Zhao used his Divine Sense to sense the fourth level, but found no danger.

"That's true, but we're probably too late," Zhao Rugui said at this moment.

"There should have been a terrifying killing formation here, but for some reason it was destroyed."

Perhaps because too much time had passed, the energy sustaining the formation was exhausted, causing it to collapse.

"If we had arrived a few days earlier, we probably could have faced this battle head-on."

Zhao Rugui, however, saw things more clearly than Cao Zhao.

After listening, Cao Zhao took a closer look and indeed found some traces of a formation.

"Brother Zhao, you've observed things very carefully; it is indeed so," Cao Zhao said.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought the fourth level would be extremely dangerous, but to my surprise, there was no danger at all.

Unfortunately, there weren't any treasures on the fourth floor either.

"Since there's nothing here, let's go."

Wang Ci spoke, then turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around, a terrifying shockwave suddenly exploded out, reverberating throughout the fourth level of space.

The Nine Unifications Return to Origin Cauldron within Li Yunjing's Dantian suddenly trembled violently, emitting a rapid and shrill cauldron cry, almost breaking through his dantian and leaving his body.

"This is..."

Li Yunjing was incredulous and hurriedly activated the Treasure Control Method Formula to barely suppress the abnormality of the Nine Unifications Return to Origin Cauldron.

But the Nine Unifications Return to Origin Cauldron continued to tremble wildly, and Li Yunjing felt the pressure increasing, almost to the point of being unable to suppress it.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in mid-air.

Everyone looked up.

Wisps of dark gray mist overflowed, spreading like a vast ocean and instantly covering the entire fourth floor.

Some of the Golden Core cultivators from the Jin Household were tainted by this dark gray mist. In just a moment, their faces turned deathly pale, their hair turned gray at a visible speed, their skin became dry and wrinkled, and all their cultivation and vitality were drained away.

"Don't touch this fog!"

Upon seeing this, Jin Ruoxu immediately shouted.

The others immediately frantically channeled their magical Law Power, creating Law Power shields to isolate the mist.

The Law Power shield erected by the few cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could only barely withstand the mist, and it consumed a great deal of energy.

Those Golden Core cultivators, however, were completely powerless to stop them.

Even when they activated their Law Power shields, they were still enveloped by the mist, and their cultivation and vitality were instantly drained.

Jin Ruoxu's eyes were bloodshot.

Originally, these Golden Core Golden Core cultivators were brought here only to have them do odd jobs.

Although they were prepared for the sacrifice of these Golden Core cultivators.

Even though they all died in an instant, Jin Ruoxu still felt grief.

But there was no time to feel sorrow for them; Jin Ruoxu felt he was about to collapse.

This was especially true for Xiao Tianxing and several other Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Only Li Yunjing, with his deeper background, was able to sustain it.

Fortunately, Wang Ci and the others acted in time, unleashing their immense Law Power to disperse the mist, allowing Xiao Tianxing and the others to catch their breath.

Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the mist.

Once it fully appeared, everyone could finally see its face clearly.

He was dressed in a dark yellow Daoist robe, with a handsome and dignified face, his eyes were closed, and a mark of the Earth Vein Dao Daoist mantra was embedded in his forehead.

His skin was dark gold, without a trace of decay, and even the individual strands of his hair were clearly visible, as if he had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

But there was not a trace of life in this body.

"This is... Lin Xuan himself!?"

When Wang Ci saw this person, he immediately cried out in shock.

Lin Xuan's portrait has naturally been passed down through generations, Wang Ci has seen it before, which is why he was surprised to see the person in front of him now.

"He's still alive? No, not a sliver of life. He's dead, but this..."

Cao Zhao looked surprised and incredulous.

Why would someone who is clearly dead appear?

Suddenly, Lin Xuan opened his eyes wide.

His eye sockets had no pupils, no whites; they were simply empty.

In an instant, a muffled roar exploded, and an aura of death and annihilation spread rapidly outwards from Lin Xuan.

"Damn it, he's turned into a zombie!"

Zhao Rugui sensed something was amiss, and the look of shock lingered on his face!

Upon hearing this, the others felt as if their hearts had been suddenly clenched.

The zombie outbreak was an outcome no one had anticipated.

Corpse reanimation is relatively common in Tianyuan.

This situation can occur if a cultivator dies and is buried in an unfavorable location.

However, generally speaking, only cultivators at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment levels are prone to undergoing corpse transformation after death.

Cultivators with higher levels of cultivation would find an auspicious burial site for themselves, and some would even directly achieve Dao liberation, turning their entire bodies into ashes without any chance of becoming corpses.

Now, a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm has undergone a zombie transformation.

This happens very rarely in Tianyuan.

"No, it wasn't a passive transformation into a zombie; he actively entered into this state, hoping to use it to reach the Void Refinement Realm!"

At this moment, Wang Ci looked at Lin Xuan with a solemn expression.

Lin Xuan actually chose to undergo a deliberate transformation into a corpse, hoping to use this opportunity to enter the Void Refinement Realm.

Although this method is extremely risky, if successful, Lin Xuan would likely have virtually no rivals at the Void Refinement Realm.

"Never mind that for now, let's all attack together and take care of him first."

Cao Zhao spoke to the other two.

It was clear that Lin Xuan, after his transformation into a zombie, had no intention of letting them go.

Since that's the case, let's deal with Lin Xuan after his zombie transformation first.

Wang Ci and Zhao Rugui nodded in agreement, and the three of them immediately unleashed their magical Law Treasure.

After turning into a zombie, Lin Xuan slightly opened his mouth, and the inky black corpse energy surged out wildly like a burst dam.

A ferocious aura, as vast as the ocean, surged within this fourth level, causing the space to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse...
