The Unkillable Zombie
"That's the idea. ✿.｡.:* ☆::..::.☆*.:｡.✿" Lin Yunji's voice faltered slightly as he murmured softly.
At that very moment, just after he finished speaking, he saw the zombie move.
That zombie was as fast as lightning! Its attack speed was even faster than the monsters in the lake!
Lin Yunji's eyes could barely catch the zombie's movements.
"It's too fast!" Lin Yunji's face showed disbelief; this zombie was incredibly fast.
But so what?
"Kill!!" Lin Yunji shouted, his spear pounding wildly, repeatedly smashing the zombie's body, sending it flying!
You can't die, huh? Then I'll tear you to pieces and see if you can still live!
Lin Yunji forcefully shook the Vajra Spear, causing a spear flower to tremble, followed by a spear beam that pierced through the air.
The sharp spear tip, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, seemed to transform into a drill, piercing into the bloody opening in the throat that Lin Yunji had previously pierced.
This move directly ripped a zombie's head off.
The zombie's head was severed from its neck and flew more than ten meters away. After losing its head, the zombie collapsed forcefully to the ground.
Even so, the zombies still didn't die. Because Lin Yunji still hadn't obtained the power he deserved.
"You won't die even like this?" Lin Yunji frowned slightly.
Then he clearly saw that a lot of black gas suddenly emerged from the zombie's neck. Not only the neck, but all over its body, from every hole pierced by the Vajra Spear, black gas was spewing out!
These gases seemed to carry a very magical power, extending outwards for more than 10 meters before connecting with the head, which had been thrown far away and was also emitting black gas.
Drawn by the dark aura, the zombie's separated head and body actually tried to rejoin themselves.
Lin Yunji was almost dumbfounded by the scene.
Without a second thought, he thrust his spear into the middle of the black mist again, attempting to sever it in two.
However, when the black mist was pierced through the middle by the spearhead, it simply passed right through without any other effect.
"Physical damage had no effect." Lin Yunji's face showed surprise.
"Green Jade Ghost Hand!" Lin Yunji shouted sharply.
Then, from beneath his arms, two blue arms emerged.
These two arms suddenly appeared and reached out to grab the black mist. Sure enough, they succeeded.
After the Green Jade Ghost Hand grabbed the black energy, the black-skinned creature struggled violently, like a snake.
"Hmph!!" Lin Yunji let out a cold snort, then had the Green Jade Ghost Hand pull it, forcibly tearing the black energy in half.
The moment the black energy dissipated, Lin Yunji suddenly heard a very distinct long sigh, as if the sound had been relieved.
However, the black aura emanating from the zombie's body, like a punctured balloon leaking air, also seeped out from other wounds, and was instantly completely gone.
A surge of energy then entered Lin Yunji's body.
He finally killed the zombie.
"Finally killed it!" The Saint Venerable Daweide others couldn't help but shout loudly when they saw Lin Yunji kill the zombie.
Lin Yunji nodded.
Thus, the Saint Venerable Daweide and the others immediately relaxed.
Then one by one they walked from a distance toward the remains of the zombie.
"These zombies are really too powerful, why is that?" Saint Venerable Daweide couldn't help but ask.
"What is that black mist?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not quite sure." Lin Yunji shook his head.
"But physical attacks have no effect on it; it's somewhat similar to a ghost," Lin Yunji.
"Approximately what level is it?" Divine Venerable Xuan asked.
"It's at the Universe Level, Third Stage," Lin Yunji said. "But it's as difficult to deal with Universe Level, Fourth Stage cultivator. Most people wouldn't easily engage with it. However, with a sharp weapon, it can be dealt with like a ghost, so it's not difficult."
Lin Yunji's words were not spoken lightly.
If he were to fight that zombie again now, he could probably defeat it in ten moves.
"These zombies have a lot of energy, but they're not much of a threat. Do you want to continue exploring forward, or do you want to go back the way you came?" Lin Yunji asked the other Venerables.
The Saint Venerable Daweide and his companions were also in a bit of a dilemma.
They exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then the Saint Venerable Daweide Yamantaka spoke, "Let's not go back, let's continue exploring."
"That's what I think too," Immortal Venerable Hongluo nodded in agreement.
"I agree as well," Emperor Venerable Wuxuan echoed.
After the three of them agreed, the remaining deities also finally agreed.
Then Lin Yunji led them onward.
These zombies are not easy to deal with, but fortunately, there are very few of them.
There were only a few scattered ones in the swamp, and it wasn't difficult for Lin Yunji to deal with them one by one.
Lin Yunji would usually cut off the heads of these zombies before letting the Saint Venerable Daweide and his companions deliver the final blow.
Lin Yunji temporarily lent the Green Jade Ghost Hand to the Saint Venerable Daweide.
After obtaining the Green Jade Ghost Hand and the Glazed Stone Bead, the Saint Venerable Daweide gained an astonishing amount of energy after the final blow from the zombie.
After killing approximately 40 zombies, the Saint Venerable Daweide broke through to the Universe Level, Third Stage!
"I've broken through to the Universe Level, Third Stage!!" Saint Venerable Daweide exclaimed excitedly after obtaining the energy from the last zombie that died.
He wasn't particularly excited; his joy was mixed with a touch of bitterness.
The main problem is that the speed of the breakthroughs was just too fast; it didn't feel real at all.
If he were outside the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, he might cultivate for ten trillion times and still not be able to touch the edge of the Universe Level, Third Stage.
But now, in the Vast Blue Illusory Realm, he broke through to the Universe Level, Second Stage so quickly and easily, and now he has broken through to the Universe Level, Third Stage!
Of course, he also understood that his rapid breakthrough was due to Lin Yunji.
