282: Chapter 282 Corpse Refining into a Zombie, Demonic Soul Ghost

Human Emperor Qi!

It was because Hun Tiandi established the Dazheng Dynasty and founded the nation as its sovereign, destined to be king, that a trace of Human Emperor Qi naturally gestated within him.

This was only a Dynasty; once it advanced in the future, the Human Emperor Qi would become even denser, making him impervious to all evils!

Purple Dragon King Qi!

By refining the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill crafted by Elder Dan, the Taixu Purple Dragon Pill, he extracted the Purple Dragon King Qi. This strange energy possessed the power to deter the soul.

"The zombie demonic creatures of the Black Cloud Ravine are your handiwork. They cause misery to the people. For a gentleman to be driving a group of zombies in the middle of the night, wandering about so recklessly, you certainly have quite the nerve!"

Hun Tiandi spoke with a calm expression and a majestic tone.

"What a sharp-tongued youth. Youths nowadays have no respect for this old man at all; truly unscrupulous!"

The Black-clad Gentleman's face turned cold as he sneered.

Whoosh...

The surrounding zombies were as fast as lightning, the yin winds howled furiously, and their long hair fluttered, emitting a faint corpse aura.

"Sir, are you intending to make things difficult for the four of us..." Hun Tiandi's face darkened and his eyes turned cold. He was unwilling to provoke those who specialized in the art of refining corpses.

Their methods were too bizarre and impossible to guard against.

"Boy, if you voluntarily let this old man refine you into a zombie, I will let the three behind you leave. My path of corpse refining is a 'living keep out' zone!"

The Elder in Black said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, you must not let him succeed! Otherwise, none of us can hope to walk out of the Black Cloud Ravine!"

Yan Xing said anxiously, his Fighting Qi surging as he prepared to strike at any moment.

"So, Sir is intentionally making things difficult for us and has no intention of letting us leave?" Hun Tiandi frowned slightly and spoke in a deep voice.

"Correct. It is rare for this old man to encounter someone possessing both Human Emperor Qi and Purple Dragon King Qi. How could I miss out on such a top-quality corpse!"

The Elder in Black said excitedly.

"Family rules allow no room for bargaining!"

"Move!" Following that, Yan Xing behind him lunged out. Fighting Qi poured from his body like a tide, channeling into the Great Path and manifesting as blade light.

He slashed towards a Bronze Zombie; it seemed as if the energy of heaven and earth was being drawn in, causing his prowess to explode.

"Oh? Interesting. The Power of the Eight Desolations and Six Directions!" A flash of surprise crossed the Elder in Black's eyes.

The Elder in Black seemed to fall into deep thought, his face showing amazement as he fought with the Bronze Zombie, his eyes flickering with light.

Icy yin energy surged around him, and the sound of the bell in his hand was incessant.

He manipulated the Bronze Zombie to battle Yan Xing. Blade light struck the zombie's body, erupting in metallic sparks.

The Elder in Black's current zombies were only Bronze Zombies, yet they were invulnerable to blades and spears, with astonishing defensive power.

Clang!

Liu Ling also took action. Against an expert proficient in corpse refining, one could not afford even a moment of slack. The Three-Legged Golden Crow spread its wings and soared high, carrying peerless fire power as it charged toward the zombies.

The scorching temperature caused the icy yin aura of the world to weaken significantly.

"Sun True Fire? How is this possible?" the Elder in Black said, no longer calm.

Ding-ling...

The bell in his hand shook with increasing intensity. Runes manifested and danced, forming a Corpse Refining Array on the ground. Terrifying resentment and malevolence filled the sky.

Atop the mountain, black clouds surged and lightning flashed. The icy yin aura gathered in the Black Cloud Ravine for countless years came sweeping in, covering the sky and earth.

It was infused into the Bronze Zombies. Billowing corpse qi, like a flood, attacked Yan Xing and Liu Ling.

"Not good! The Bronze Zombies refined by this man are too terrifying!"

Liu Ling said coldly. He was only able to temporarily maintain a stalemate by relying on the Sun True Fire.

Violent roars continued to ring out, shaking their hearts.

Puff!

Yan Xing and Liu Ling were struck by a Black Iron Zombie. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they were sent flying back, barely managing to stay alive.

As corpse qi entered their bodies, their expressions changed drastically.

"Sun True Fire, incinerate my true self!" Liu Ling shouted coldly, urging the golden flames to sweep through his entire body. Black gas hissed and billowed from around him.

His originally greyish complexion gradually returned to normal, though it remained as pale as snow.

"Yan Xing, how are you?" Liu Ling cried out urgently. Golden flames surfaced on his palm as he slammed it fiercely onto Yan Xing's back.

The fire entered the body, and the corpse qi in Yan Xing was also driven out just before he could turn into a zombie.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly! Liu Ling and I will temporarily hold him off to buy time for Your Majesty!"

The just-recovered Yan Xing looked at Hun Tiandi with a pale face and spoke urgently.

"This time can be considered an encounter with the experts of the outside world. Since their strength improved, their mindsets have inflated, thinking they were invincible in the Black-Corner Region, and pride has grown in their hearts!"

Previously, Hun Tiandi had not stopped them precisely to tell them that a person can have a backbone, but must not have arrogance!

"Your subordinates know their mistake!" Yan Xing and Liu Ling responded.

"Leave it to me. Heal your wounds to the side!" Hun Tiandi sighed slightly and took several steps forward.

The bell shook, its invisible ringing echoing in the air. Within the corpse array, countless amounts of icy yin energy gathered into ten Bronze Zombies.

Buzz!

With a flick of his sleeve, the ten thousand soul banner appeared in mid-air. The demonic banner emitted black and purple currents, demonic qi rolled, and the banner cloth shook, manifesting countless hideous demonic souls that were roaring.

"This is..." the Elder in Black said in surprise.

Roar... Howl...

Hun Tiandi remained silent. Fighting Qi surged as his hands formed seals like lightning. A bizarre rune condensed and struck the ten thousand soul banner, followed by two distinct roars.

Two massive beast souls emerged from the ten thousand soul banner. They were humongous; one demonic soul brought a surging green tide, while the other was shrouded in pervasive toxic gas.

Carrying hundreds of thousands of ghosts, they formed a river of spirits that crushed toward the Bronze Zombies.

Humph!

The Elder in Black remained composed. He shook the bell, causing the corpse array to glow brilliantly. Boundless corpse qi flew out, turning into a river that crashed against the ghosts.

Boom!

In an instant, the air was compressed until it exploded, and ripples appeared in space. The collision of corpse qi and ghosts was like adding oil to fire; the shock caused the entire ravine to shake.

Hun Tiandi was forced back ten steps, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"The Demonic Path is cruel?" the Elder in Black said with surprise. In this Fighting Qi Continent, there were actually people practicing the Demonic Path and even successfully refining Demonic Artifacts.

"The Corpse Path is bizarre?" Hun Tiandi moved the demonic banner, manifesting it behind him while the two demonic souls protected his left and right. The art of corpse refining was indeed extraordinary.

"Senior, do you wish to fight further?" Hun Tiandi spoke slowly.

"You junior, the ten thousand soul banner? Interesting!"

"The Sea of Blood does not dry, the River Styx does not die. Through millions of years of profound silence, the cycle of reincarnation turns, and you have finally returned after all, Lord of the Blood Sea, Netherworld Blood God!"

The Elder in Black's expression became somewhat dazed. He moved the bell in his hand, dispersing the corpse array. The Bronze Zombies that had been standing in various positions also leaped behind him.

They lined up neatly, their gazes curiously watching the youth before them.

"I do not know what you are talking about."

Hun Tiandi was shocked inwardly. This old man actually knew of the ten thousand soul banner? Maintaining a calm face, he flicked his finger, shooting Fighting Qi into the ten thousand soul banner. The banner shook, and the two demonic souls as well as all the ghosts returned into the demonic banner.

The ten thousand soul banner turned into a streak of light and vanished into his sleeve.

"You are the Netherworld Blood God, the Lord of the Blood Sea. How could you not know what I am saying? Could it be that something went wrong during the awakening of reincarnation, causing you to forget the past?"

The Elder in Black's brow furrowed slightly, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"Senior, if you don't mind, how about having a drink?"

Hun Tiandi's heart stirred. After a brief silence, he flipped his hand to take out a table and chairs, and spiritual wine appeared on the table.

"Jie jie jie, you young man are truly interesting!" The Elder in Black sat down, revealing a mysterious smile.

Qing Yue, who was behind Hun Tiandi, stepped forward quickly, picked up the jade bottle, filled the wine cups for both of them, and placed them before them.

"Senior, please!" Hun Tiandi was the first to pick up his wine cup and drink.

"Good wine. The color is like amber, and the fragrance is mellow!" The Elder in Black drank the spiritual wine, a look of surprise appearing on his pale face.
