Chapter 1508: Zombie God
Chapter 1508: Zombie God
The Zombie God had been suppressed by Venerable Yuan Shi's body all this while. Now that Venerable Yuan Shi had successfully passed on his inheritance, there was no longer any suppression on the Zombie God, allowing the Zombie God to rise yet again.
The 108 coffins contained powerful alien experts. They were all God Realm experts Venerable Yuan Shi had killed. The Zombie God had collected all these corpses, intending to turn them into zombies.
The formation surrounding the graveyard had been laid out by the Zombie God for that purpose, and it had transformed the Wumo Pass into a forbidden zone where more zombies could be created.
The Wumo Pass was abundant with natural yin energy, and natural burial soil could be found there. Therefore, the Zombie God had selected the Wumo Pass.
Unfortunately for the Zombie God, he was discovered by Venerable Yuan Shi. He was subsequently suppressed while the alien corpses also had their innate abilities stripped from their bodies by Yuan Shi. The person capable of reaching the grave would be qualified to receive the inheritance of one of these aliens.
As for Xiang Yangzhan, he had successfully reached the grave and had received the qualification for an inheritance. However, the inheritance wasn't something one could so easily receive. Before receiving the inheritance, one needed to survive a trial. Upon failure, one would be sealed in the coffin.
Xiang Shaoyun had learned all that from Venerable Yuan Shi in the grave. Thus, he guessed that his father had probably failed in receiving the full inheritance and was trapped within the coffin. Therefore, Xiang Shaoyun could only take the coffin with him and hope that his father would one day complete the inheritance by himself. Nobody could help his father with that.
The moment Xiang Shaoyun put away the coffin, he started flying out of the ravine, not daring to stay even a second longer.
The Zombie God was a terrifying existence from ancient times. Even the dominion's most powerful existences would have a hard time suppressing the Zombie God.
Xiang Shaoyun was nowhere strong enough to face the Zombie God. In any case, he had already achieved his goal. He believed that the crow would be able to keep the Zombie God suppressed for a little longer. After the period of suppression was over, the Zombie God would regain his freedom and start bringing disaster to the dominion.
"Is this one of the signs of the coming chaos?" muttered Xiang Shaoyun.
After receiving the inheritance from Venerable Yuan Shi, his concern for the dominion had deepened. Perhaps it was a side effect of the inheritance.
Upon reaching the top of the ravine, Xiang Shaoyun saw the same headless horse and zombie beside the rebirth flower. He did not want to miss out on the undying grass because it concerned the old drunkard's revival.
Thus, his soul clone charged over and attacked the headless zombie unhesitatingly. When the headless zombie sensed the incoming aura, it unleashed an attack upon the soul clone. Xiang Shaoyun's main body took the chance to dash over and dig out the rebirth flower together with its roots before planting it inside his astral cosmos sea.
The headless zombie was no living being. It might be able to fight with its instincts, but it had no wisdom. Thus, it had not expected the soul clone to be bait, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to easily steal the flower before leaving.
As for the soul clone, it merely focused on keeping the headless zombie occupied instead of fighting seriously. After all, the headless zombie was as strong as a God. The soul clone might not necessarily be its match.
Xiang Shaoyun's main body quickly reached the edge of the forbidden zone. As for his clone, it did not stay long and quickly retreated as well. However, the headless zombie gave chase relentlessly, giving Xiang Shaoyun a scare. He was worried that the headless body would rush out of the forbidden zone. If that happened, those outside the forbidden zone would be the ones to suffer.
"Don't force me to destroy you!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he activated the profundity of primal chaos and threw a punch at the headless zombie.
The headless zombie stabbed its weapon at Xiang Shaoyun. As the two attacks collided, a massive explosion erupted, grinding the nearby zombies into nothingness. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's clone took the Yin Mother Sword from his main body. If the headless zombie continued onward, he would have to kill the zombie himself.
It was unknown if the headless zombie had sensed danger or if it had sensed the Zombie God, but it retreated instead of advancing. Xiang Shaoyun heaved a breath of relief before he hurriedly resumed his journey out of the Wumo Pass.
Outside, Devouring Ghost, Devil Concubine, Despair, Bing Busi, and Liu Qingchen had become anxious from all the waiting. Thus, they were overjoyed when they saw Xiang Shaoyun.
"I knew it! Nothing can stop the overlord," said Devil Concubine as she jumped into his arms.
Xiang Shaoyun gave her a hug before looking at the others. He said, "I have caused you to be worried. Let's leave."
Immediately, a massive amount of death energy converged above the Wumo Pass. The nearby living beings started withering at a rapid pace. Even the living beings farther away were threatened. If the death energy were allowed to spread, the entire mountain range would probably be reduced into a land of death. At that realization, the group did not hesitate to flee with all their speed.
Meanwhile, the crow atop the grave transformed into an old man. He appeared before the coffin made of undying divine wood and said, "Zombie God, do not act rashly. Don't even think of bringing disaster to the world."
The coffin hovered in the air and gathered a large amount of death energy from its surroundings. From within the coffin, a voice rang out, "Yuan Shi had kept me suppressed long enough. You are not qualified to make demands of me."
The coffin then shot toward the crow at an incredible speed. In fact, the coffin was so fast it almost seemed like it had teleported. The crow reacted swiftly and reached out with one hand to suppress the coffin. The crow demonstrated amazing strength, erupting with a massive amount of God Realm energy as he suppressed the power leaking out of the coffin.
"You have gotten old," came the voice from the coffin. The coffin erupted with even more power and jolted the crow away.
"Stop!" roared the crow furiously. He used all his strength. He reached out with both his hands, and his wings started flapping, forcefully pushing the coffin back onto the ground.
However, the coffin's lid continued to slide off, slowly revealing the zombie within. The coffin contained so much dark energy that a black hole seemed to be inside it. Eventually, the coffin succeeded in pushing the crow back, sending the crow flying away from the grave while coughing blood.
The crow said, "Zombie God, Lord Yuan Shi will return one day!"
