124: You see, I still look a bit like before.

His output was as fierce as a tiger, but unfortunately, the massive impact slammed against the Star Isolation Grand Formation, having no effect on Lin Chuping.

"This little breeze is so cool and refreshing. Is there anything more powerful?"

Lin Chuping's lips curled slightly upward as he leisurely walked past the Corpse Demon.

The Corpse Demon outside the Formation was practically fuming; this was no exaggeration, Lin Chuping watched as the Corpse Demon's body visibly expanded by a full circle.

It became even more grotesque.

"Now it's my turn."

Before Lin Chuping finished speaking, his hands rapidly formed seals.

In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, thunder rumbled, and thick bolts of lightning, like Dragons, weaved through the clouds.

At the same time, fine drizzles of rain began to fall.

This was the first time Lin Chuping had attempted to cast two Spells simultaneously.

Lin Chuping cast Thunder Punishment and Rain Summoning Technique at the same time, a spectacle of sparks and lightning.

Lightning and rain intertwined.

Each bolt of lightning that struck carried the power to destroy the world.

Before long, a thin layer of water had accumulated on the ground, and the continuous lightning spread along the water to the surroundings.

It was quite good, achieving an effect of one plus one equals three.

It made Lin Chuping unseasonably think of electrofishing in a pond.

"Tsk tsk, this amount of electricity, it must be at least a billion volts."

If it weren't for the special nature of Thunder Punishment, the scene should have been littered with corpses by now.

The Corpse Demon's originally arrogant demeanor was instantly suppressed; its massive body began to tremble slightly under the dual assault of lightning and rain.

This wasn't the most crucial thing; the most crucial thing was that Lin Chuping discovered this thing was actually afraid of water!

"I've searched high and low, only to find it effortlessly!"

Lin Chuping's heart stirred, and he increased the power of the Rain Summoning Technique.

The rain suddenly intensified, pouring down like a deluge, and the water on the ground quickly converged into rapid streams, surging towards the Corpse Demon.

Fortunately, the terrain of Qing Province was relatively high, and most of the water flowed towards Yan Province.

The Corpse Demon roared in terror, trying to avoid the water, but the lightning followed it like a shadow, continuously striking its body along the water.

Lin Chuping controlled the Spell while carefully observing the Corpse Demon's reaction, pondering the reason for the Corpse Demon's fear of water.

Was it afraid of rotting?

It was not impossible. In ancient times, there were no refrigerators, and historically, many places preserved corpses by drying them to remove moisture and inhibit microorganisms.

The effect was quite significant.

However, those were all manual operations, and this Corpse Demon actually had the ability to remove surrounding moisture, which was truly amazing.

This was probably the fundamental reason why Yan Province had been suffering from a severe drought.

Lin Chuping also greatly admired the Corpse Demon.

In his previous life, who hadn't been brainwashed by the adage, "If one cannot change the environment, one must adapt to it"? This adage was just a few light words, but applied to an individual, it truly required a painful transformation.

Look at how direct the Corpse Demon was; relying on its own strange abilities, it forcefully transformed the environment into the most suitable form for itself.

I am right in front of you. How much of my former self do you still see?

Under the severe drought, all things withered; now the entire Yan Province was almost turned into a desert by the Corpse Demon.

Awesome!

Despite his admiration, Lin Chuping acted without hesitation.

As the rain grew fiercer, the lightning also became more violent, emitting deafening roars.

"Ant, how dare you!"

The Corpse Demon roared, its massive body struggling fiercely, trying to break free from the endless rain and lightning, but it was all in vain.

It seemed that water indeed had a great impact on it; previously, lightning as thick as a bucket only made its body unstable.

Now, a pained expression actually appeared on the Corpse Demon's face.

It's working!

Lin Chuping secretly thought, it seemed he had guessed correctly: dried corpses don't conduct electricity, so pure lightning attacks were not very effective. Add some water, and it's a completely different story.

Lightning and rain were the perfect match.

"Do you think these little tricks can harm me?"

The Corpse Demon endured the pain, gritting its teeth, but its voice revealed a hint of feigned bravado.

"Hmph! Empty bluster. If you have the guts, stand here today and let me strike you. Let's see if I can turn you into ashes!"

As his voice fell, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to become even denser.

The Corpse Demon's skin began to char and crack, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

"Ah—ah ah—! Ant, don't be so presumptuous!"

The Corpse Demon let out a piercing shriek; its massive body, under the dual ravages of lightning and torrential rain, was already teetering.

It began to slowly retreat, trying to find an opportunity to escape this terrifying area where rain and lightning intertwined.

Lin Chuping crossed his arms, responding lazily.

"What? Can't hold on anymore? Weren't you so stubborn just now? It's too late to beg for mercy now!"

"Don't get too complacent! I... I will find a chance to escape, and I will settle accounts with you later!"

"Later? You've already arrived, and you want to leave? How can it be that easy!"

Lin Chuping saw through the Corpse Demon's intentions at a glance.

The Corpse Demon's experience was also miraculous; its Luck was not completely dark.

"System, why is this?"

"Host, the Corpse Demon slept underground for decades. Because of its decent strength, other demons dared not approach, and during this period, it indirectly protected a group of weak creatures in the area."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Chuping raised an eyebrow slightly, and his perception of the Corpse Demon became a bit more complex.

"So, it actually did some good deeds? However, that cannot be a reason for it to now wreak havoc in the region."

The key was that this thing had already become powerful; he could kill it, but he had no ability to subdue it.

"Host, your insight is clear. Good and evil are not absolute. Although the Corpse Demon has performed minor good deeds, the disasters it has caused far outweigh them. Now it has lost its true nature and become a harmful existence."

"Understood, I see."

Lin Chuping nodded, his gaze once again fixed on the Corpse Demon.

"Since that's the case, I cannot let you live."

The Corpse Demon seemed to sense Lin Chuping's resolute killing intent; a hint of panic flashed in its eyes, but it was immediately replaced by madness.

"Ant, do you truly think you can kill me? I am immortal, and your methods are but futile!"

Lin Chuping sneered, his hands rapidly forming seals, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to respond to his summons, rolling even more tempestuously.

"Immortal?"

"Today, I shall see if your immortal body can withstand the wrath of my Thunder!"

A bolt of lightning, even thicker than before, tore through the sky, striking directly at the Corpse Demon.

At the same time, the torrential rain poured down, every drop seemingly carrying Lin Chuping's will, relentlessly washing over the Corpse Demon.

The Corpse Demon let out an earth-shattering shriek; its body began to crack under the dual impact of lightning and torrential rain, and black liquid seeped from the cracks, emitting a pungent odor.

"System, where is the Corpse Demon's core?"

Lin Chuping quickly inquired in his mind.

"Host, your wisdom is profound. The Corpse Demon's core is usually located within its chest cavity. That is the source of its power and the secret to its immortality."

"Good, then I'll strike directly at its heart!"

A determined glint flashed in Lin Chuping's eyes. He controlled his Divine Power, condensing it into a hand, and thrust it fiercely towards the Corpse Demon's chest cavity.

The Corpse Demon seemed to sense the danger; it desperately tried to dodge, but under the dense rain and violent lightning, its movements appeared so slow and powerless.

The giant hand accurately pierced into the Corpse Demon's chest cavity, and a powerful force erupted instantly. The Corpse Demon's body began to tremble violently, the cracks rapidly widened, and finally, with a "boom," the Corpse Demon's massive body crashed to the ground, turning into a puddle of black water and dissipating into the rain.

With the demise of the Corpse Demon, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the torrential rain slowly ceased.

The sunlight once again shone upon this land shrouded in darkness, bringing a long-lost warmth.
