Chapter 2113: A Second Ghost Zombie King
Chapter 2113: A Second Ghost Zombie King
Yuan Yi and the surrounding ghost zombies froze, unsure of how to proceed. The girl panicked while the ghost zombies were overawed. Their most lofty king had its head caved in with a single blow! A feeling called terror rose from their hearts, an aberration in these ghost zombies that barely possessed thoughts of their own.
“Um… you…” Yuan Yi gaped at Lu Yun. She could clearly sense that the ghost zombie king would easily raze Jingzhou City, but the young man had defeated such an awful being with no second thought?
“What are you standing around for?” Lu Yun snapped. “Hurry up and kill the ghost zombies!”
He punched a second time and connected solidly with the ghost zombie king. It howled with outrage through its flattened head.
It yet lived.
When Lu Yun retracted his second punch, its misshapen body burst with black flames and it pounced on the human in a streak of light.
Lu Yun rapidly backed away, but the currents created by the zombie king’s movement were too formidable. When they swept over the young man, they shook the external circulation of heaven and earth around him.
He went flying as the zombie king recovered its form of a giant lizard. It blurred into a blackish-red shadow and threw itself forward at an unbelievable speed.
Lu Yun stabilized his body and thrust his arms outward, condensing two enormous fists that he brought up to meet the zombie king’s latest charge. He wielded no weapons in this world because he couldn’t find any material to craft with.
As heaven and earth were dead, so were all of its veins and mines of resources withered away. Materials such as stones and bricks used to build cities were mortal items; they couldn’t withstand Lu Yun’s strength.
He could only utilize his fists when he fought. They contained his power of heaven and earth, so each blow was the equivalent of a strike from a world. His further contained the power of reincarnation, a power that could transmute the zombie king’s strength into the purest strength of the world.
Lu Yun had finally obtained a better understanding of the ghost zombies after twelve hundred years of observation and study. They’d all been inhabitants of this world in life—and not ordinary inhabitants, but powerful cultivators. Their internal force of heaven and earth had spontaneously shriveled up when the world died, turning them into ghost zombies.
Yuan Yi and the other cultivators were descendants of the mortals from that time. All cultivators had become ghost zombies the second the world died.
His power of heaven and earth nurtured reincarnation, transforming the withered power of heaven and earth into that of a new world’s. This new strength was incorporated into Lu Yun’s circulation of heaven and earth..com
However, there was no possible return for the cultivators who’d transformed into ghost zombies. They were just the bodies of cultivators as their internal force was the power of the withered world.
it might be more accurate to call them akasha ghosts.
Akasha ghosts of the world of immortals stemmed from the resentment of great emperors. They dyed the path of immortality with blood. After he arrived in this world, Lu Yun understood that the akasha ghosts and yin spirits ravaging the world of immortals and entire nothing was a result of strength exuding from these ghost zombies.
The mistress and Dao King made their moves from the shadows—creating these monsters, permitting their rampaging, locating someone who could take care of them, then sending that chosen person to this world.
The nothing encountered the great devastation again and again because of this dead world. That invincible barrier of nothing that caused death with a single touch was also due to the dead heaven and earth in this world.
If this world could be revitalized, then all of its orders would return. It would recover its former state of an incomparably ancient and prosperous world.
The nothing would no longer continue to expand until it ignited the great devastation. It would simply expand until the real existence within it melded into the real world here. Reality was also born from the nothing and a summation of the true existences that gathered time and time again in the nothing.
All devastation would be terminated if he solved the problems here.
Contemplation over twelve hundred years had resulted in enlightenment for Lu Yun, but since the mistress and Dao King had made no explanations—God even consumed his life to send Lu Yun here—then this world was not as simple as it appeared.
Resurrect this world? So much easier said than done.
Why had it been destroyed? Why had heaven and earth died? Why had countless cultivators turned into ghost zombies?
That was the crux of the problem.
All Lu Yun could do now was continuously improve his strength. He had the right to consider these questions only when he was strong enough.
Bam!
He kept up a steady battering with his fists and sent the ghost zombie king flying again. Currents of black air flowed out of its body as he did so and became part of Lu Yun’s external circulation of heaven and earth, turning into his own strength.
The zombie king’s power was beginning to decline.
“I see… so I need to injure him with full force if I want to obtain its withered power of heaven and earth and turn it back to its original form,” Lu Yun suddenly realized. He had to gravely wound the zombie king if he wanted its power.
“ROAR!!” the zombie king snarled, its cries tinged with enormous fury and a trace of unease. It wanted to run, but the human didn’t give it a chance to. Every single one of Lu Yun’s punches landed on its weakest points. It was sent flying again and again with no chance of escape.
The zombie king could battle Lu Yun at first, but as the fight dragged on, the zombie king could only barely fend off the blows.
The skies began to lighten to the east.
“ROOOOOAR!” came a wrathful howl from the north. The earth trembled; it seemed an enormous beast of danger was running in their direction.
Lu Yun furrowed his brows and he looked at the zombie king gasping for breath. He raised a hand and collected a Yuan Yi in full battle fervor. The two left without another word.
The zombie king sprawled on the ground, heaving for air and half dead. Another ponderous beast fifty kilometers tall and seventy-five kilometers long raced in on four hooves. The earth shook in the wake of its passage.
It was a second ghost zombie king.
