Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 461 - 459: The Zombie King’s Breakthrough

*WHOOSH...*

Jiang Chen had stored all the other zombies in his Spirit Beast Bag. Only the Golden-haired Zombie King remained, flying through the air with Jiang Chen perched leisurely on its shoulder.

Murong Xiangming was at his side, walking on air.

The two of them left the white-fogged region, which had vanished after they claimed the Yin-Yang Coffin.

After all, the fog had been created by the Yin-Yang Coffin.

"Help me...!"

Suddenly, their attention was caught by a series of cries for help.

"Someone’s crying for help. Let’s go take a look," Murong Xiangming said, pointing ahead.

Jiang Chen nodded his agreement. In a place like this, anyone crying for help was most likely a Martial Cultivator.

Many Martial Cultivators were trapped in the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb with no way out. Although Jiang Chen really didn’t want to get involved, he still decided to help get everyone out of here.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a flat clearing.

A man was fleeing in terror, a hideous monster hot on his heels. It was a Vengeful Spirit.

Just then, Xiao Jun saw two figures flying over and was overjoyed.

"Help me!" he yelled.

He immediately bolted straight toward Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming.

But the moment he neared Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of dread washed over him.

The first thing that entered his vision was a Golden-haired Zombie King.

The aura of its Martial Arts Cultivation made his face drain of color.

Worse, he didn’t know if Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming were friend or foe. If he remembered correctly, his Black Demon Mercenary Corps had provoked Jiang Chen in the past.

A bitter feeling washed over him.

And there was Jiang Chen, sitting casually on the Golden-haired Zombie King’s shoulder, looking completely at ease.

Even an idiot could tell that Jiang Chen had subdued the Golden-haired Zombie King before them.

His expression soured even more.

"Xiao Jun?"

Jiang Chen recognized the man and glanced at him.

At that, Xiao Jun’s expression changed drastically.

He realized that Jiang Chen’s Cultivation had reached a level that he found terrifying.

The aura of the Martial King Third Heaven was far stronger than when they had first entered.

If he remembered correctly, Jiang Chen had only been at the Sixth Level of Martial Master when they entered.

’To reach the Martial King Third Heaven Realm in such a short time... It’s enough to make a man weep!’

He refused to believe such rapid advancement was possible without some great, fortuitous encounter.

Still, the fact that Jiang Chen actually remembered him made Xiao Jun feel deeply grateful.

He hurriedly glanced back at the Vengeful Spirit pursuing him.

"Brother, please save my life."

’Never mind Jiang Chen himself; the woman beside him had a terrifyingly powerful Cultivation—Martial King Eighth Layer Heaven!’

’And that wasn’t even counting the Golden-haired Zombie King Jiang Chen had subdued, which was a fearsome Martial Arts Sect expert.’

’Everything had changed in such a short time.’

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile.

"Since we know each other, I’ll help you take care of this monster."

Jiang Chen looked at the Vengeful Spirit behind Xiao Jun.

’This kind of Vengeful Spirit is extremely difficult to deal with. Its Cultivation isn’t high, but it can kill a Martial Cultivator with its resentful energy alone. Truly sinister creatures.’

’That Vengeful Spirit most likely formed by absorbing the yin energy here in the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.’

The Vengeful Spirit pursuing Xiao Jun showed no fear when it saw Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming.

However, the moment it saw the Golden-haired Zombie King, its entire body shuddered.

The next moment, it shrieked and turned to flee.

"Go!"

Jiang Chen ordered the Golden-haired Zombie King.

He leaped from the Golden-haired Zombie King’s shoulder himself.

"ROAR!"

Without hesitation, the Golden-haired Zombie King shot forward, pouncing on the Vengeful Spirit.

The red light in its eyes flickered as it looked at the Vengeful Spirit, as if it had just discovered a delectable treat.

*SQUELCH!*

After all, the Golden-haired Zombie King was a Martial Arts Sect expert. It caught up to the Vengeful Spirit in no time, and after seizing it, swallowed it whole without hesitation.

Xiao Jun stared in a daze. To see the Golden-haired Zombie King end the battle so easily and simply left him sighing with emotion.

"Thank you, Brother."

He hastily flashed a respectful smile at Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming.

If the two of them hadn’t appeared, he would have been killed by the Vengeful Spirit’s resentful energy.

"Don’t mention it. It was no trouble at all."

Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

He then asked casually, "Are there any other survivors here?"

Thousands of Martial Cultivators had entered, yet so far he had only encountered Xiao Jun. Jiang Chen sighed internally. ’Not everyone who goes treasure hunting succeeds.’

’He and Murong Xiangming were likely the ones who had gained the most this time.’

"They’re all dead."

"So many died in the Deadman’s Pit, and then we were chased by zombies, and then we ran into Vengeful Spirits. There’s almost no one left alive."

Xiao Jun’s face was filled with terror. Thinking back on the ordeal filled him with profound regret.

’We never should have come to the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.’

Jiang Chen didn’t dwell on that. He asked, "You’re the captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, right?"

Xiao Jun nodded repeatedly.

He was only at the Martial King Cultivation level, having broken through not long ago.

Now, the Black Demon Mercenary Corps was almost completely wiped out here.

His expression was bitter.

As Jiang Chen was speaking, the Golden-haired Zombie King finished devouring the Vengeful Spirit and returned.

However, an even colder aura now radiated from the Golden-haired Zombie King.

It was a sign that the Golden-haired Zombie King was about to break through.

’It seems eating that Vengeful Spirit was a great boon for the Golden-haired Zombie King.’

Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement.

’The Golden-haired Zombie King is under my control now. Naturally, the stronger it becomes, the better.’

And indeed, a moment later, the aura around the Golden-haired Zombie King became turbulent.

At that moment, Xiao Jun also realized the Golden-haired Zombie King was about to break through.

’How is this possible?’

’How is every single one of them such a monster, breaking through right under my nose?’

Xiao Jun sucked in a sharp breath.

’Comparisons are infuriating! A Zombie King with Martial Arts Cultivation is breaking through again!’

Murong Xiangming also stared, wide-eyed and speechless.

"Jiang Chen, it looks like congratulations are in order once again."

"After devouring that Vengeful Spirit, the Golden-haired Zombie King is having an unexpected breakthrough. I imagine it will soon reach the Martial Arts Sect First Heaven."

Truth be told, even Murong Xiangming was beginning to envy Jiang Chen.

Not only had Jiang Chen subdued the Golden-haired Zombie King, but he was now causing it to break through to a new level.

The higher one’s Cultivation, the more difficult breakthroughs become.

With normal Cultivation, going eight or ten years without a breakthrough was completely normal.

All of this could only be described as Jiang Chen’s good fortune.

Jiang Chen himself was dumbfounded.

Then, he broke into a laugh. "It seems this is a pleasant surprise indeed."

He was thrilled. A stronger Golden-haired Zombie King would be a huge asset to him.

They then waited for the Golden-haired Zombie King to finish its breakthrough.

*VMMMM...*

A ripple of power from the breakthrough washed over them. The Golden-haired Zombie King’s Cultivation had broken through to the Martial Arts Sect First Heaven.

It then let out a roar and opened its blood-red eyes, in which a glimmer of intelligence now appeared.

The higher their Cultivation, the greater the intelligence a Zombie King possessed, until it could eventually rival that of a human.
