I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Just then, the Emergency Communication Array set up in Du Youqian’s room flickered. Someone was trying to contact him.

Du Youqian used his Divine Sense to accept the call.

After a HISS of static, Master Wan Shi’s pleasant voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Yu, we have a situation."

"What is it?" Du Youqian asked calmly.

"A Tier Four Demon Zombie has escaped. Please, Fellow Daoist, go and take control of the Array Core immediately. The enemy is powerful; we must face it together."

Du Youqian hadn’t hidden the fact that he was a Tier Three Array Master, so this arrangement was only to be expected. "Alright, I’m on my way."

"Fellow Daoist Yu."

"Is there something else?"

"Master Qingqiu is a guest at your place as well, isn’t she?"

Du Youqian flushed.

Lin Sha, however, acted as if nothing was amiss, still nestled bonelessly against Du Youqian’s chest, her eyes filled with the passion and entanglement of a new love.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please inform Master Qingqiu that we need her to enter the battle immediately."

"Understood." Du Youqian cut the connection.

Lin Sha slowly rose, stretching her body and dressing herself in an extremely seductive manner.

"Take care of yourself. Don’t try to be a hero. If something unexpected happens, I’ll control the Array to leave an escape route for you. It’s better to return alive and face the Sect’s punishment than to die in battle here," Du Youqian said.

Lin Sha glanced back at him, her fiery gaze holding none of the bearing of the Ice Witch.

"I understand. You be careful too. That Nascent Soul Level Demon Zombie might have some supernatural aspects. I’ve read the notes of our predecessors in the Sect; they mention that high-level zombies can sometimes develop new Spiritual Wisdom within their corpses. If that Demon Zombie has gained sentience, it might try to break the stalemate by storming the Array Core."

Du Youqian said gravely, "I can protect myself."

Lin Sha nodded and said no more, striding outside.

With every step, the look in her eyes grew a fraction colder.

By the time she stepped out of Du Youqian’s cave residence, her gaze was as cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.

Switching freely between emotionless and deeply passionate.

Du Youqian didn’t remain idle either. After putting on his Dharma Robe, he quickly made his way to the Array Core for the temporary cave residence area. First, he used a long-range Communication Array to call for aid from the Holy Blood Sect and the Taihe Sect.

Then, he activated the crisis-response Tier Three Peak Array: the Small Five Elements Divine Thunder Evil Extermination Array.

Among the five-person group garrisoned here this time, only he could just barely bring out one hundred percent of this Grand Array’s power.

This was also the first time in nearly ten years that Du Youqian had truly activated and presided over an array.

This was because the Array didn’t consume Spirit Stones or Spiritual Jade, but rather the far more precious and rare Spiritual Diamonds.

Precisely because they were so rare and had such miraculous effects, Spiritual Diamonds didn’t circulate in normal times.

Even when a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was undergoing Core Formation and needed to replenish Spiritual Qi, Spiritual Jade was sufficient.

As Tier Four resources, Spiritual Diamonds held the status of strategic reserves in the Nine Countries of Momenan Desert.

As the saying goes, with one roar of the cannon, ten thousand gold taels are gone.

Activating an array like the Small Five Elements Divine Thunder Evil Extermination Array, which was considered top-tier in the Nine Countries of Momenan Desert, was naturally a massive expense.

Especially since the Grand Array covered an extremely wide area to prevent the Demon Zombie from breaking through in any direction, it consumed even more Spiritual Diamonds.

One minute of activation would wipe out a Fourth-class Sect’s entire annual budget.

Letting it run for the time it takes to burn an incense stick would have the Taihe Sect and Holy Blood Sect eating dirt for the next year or two.

Therefore, the various sects were normally completely unwilling to activate this array.

But Du Youqian had a feeling this array wouldn’t have the desired effect.

’Still... the Five Elements Divine Thunder is the bane of creatures like zombies and ghosts.’

’But this is, after all, only Tier Three Peak.’

’The thing that crawled out of the Desolate Abyss... is Tier Four.’

A Tier Four Demon corresponds to a Human Race Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage. But the Demon Race, of course, does not cultivate a Nascent Soul. They don’t have the cultivation process of ’Elixir Breaks and Infant Birth,’ so it’s a completely different system.

Usually, everyone calls a Tier Four Demon a ’Nascent Soul Demon,’ but this is just a colloquialism.

In reality, a Tier Four Demon is a ’Transformed Demon.’

After activating the Grand Array, as the one in control of the Array Core, Du Youqian immediately sensed all the powerful life forms within the massive array that covered the entire Desolate Abyss.

The most powerful aura among them must be the Tier Four Demon Zombie. It was moving south, about thirty li away from Du Youqian, which was originally outside the range of his Divine Sense.

But by borrowing the power of the Grand Array, Du Youqian could lock onto it with his Divine Sense.

A slightly weaker aura, carrying an incredibly sharp and unyielding will, along with ten even weaker auras belonging to Foundation Establishment Cultivators, were blocking the most powerful aura. They were clearly engaged in a fierce battle, delaying the enemy’s breakthrough.

Three other auras, clearly belonging to Core Formation Cultivators, as well as dozens of Foundation Establishment auras, were rushing toward the battle from different directions.

The three Core Formation Masters rushing over must be Master Wan Shi, Master Wu Gong, and Lin Sha. Their speed far surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

For them, a distance of thirty li could be covered in just a few dozen finger snaps if they flew at full speed.

After locking onto the Demon Zombie’s aura, Du Youqian focused his mind and unleashed the Little Five Elements Divine Thunder in that small area.

The fluctuations of battle suddenly intensified. The Little Five Elements Divine Thunder must have caused the Demon Zombie some trouble, as the Sword Cultivator Tongming Master, who was intercepting it, seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

But after a few breaths, Du Youqian clearly sensed that the Demon Zombie was not significantly harmed; its aura hadn’t weakened.

Instead, it was Tongming Master’s aura that seemed to have faded slightly after his burst of power.

Du Youqian controlled the array again, unleashing another wave of Little Five Elements Divine Thunder. This time, Tongming Master actually retreated a little, likely to catch his breath and regulate his energy.

’Don’t be fooled by how arrogant Tongming Master usually acts,’ Du Youqian thought, ’with his whole "I alone am enough to garrison the Desolate Abyss" attitude.’

’He might be strong, but he’s only strong within the realm of Core Formation.’

’And that Demon Zombie, although much weaker after being zombified, is only weak *for a Tier Four*!’

’A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.’

’It’s understandable that Tongming Master can’t keep this up.’

Du Youqian had no intention of mocking him.

To dare to step forward with a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivation and face a Tier Four Demon Zombie alone...

That courage alone was commendable.

Of course, Sword Cultivators never lacked courage.

Du Youqian didn’t stand by and watch. He controlled the array, continuously supporting Tongming Master.

This also led to an enormous consumption of the array’s power.

’Perhaps in just those few breaths, I’ve already used up a Third-class Sect’s entire annual GDP?’

A few breaths later, Master Wan Shi, Master Wu Gong, and Lin Sha arrived one after another, joining forces to fight the Demon Zombie.

Du Youqian had thought he could reduce the frequency of the Little Five Elements Divine Thunder.

But they didn’t last long. With the exception of Master Wu Gong, the auras of the two Kun Cultivators faded noticeably.

They had clearly suffered a setback in the first exchange.

Du Youqian was surprised and on high alert.

’What kind of Divine Abilities does that Demon Zombie have? How could it break the combined front of four Core Formation Masters in such a short time and lightly injure two of them?’

It was unrealistic for Core Formation Masters to try and brute-force kill a Tier Four Demon Zombie.

So, according to the pre-established plan, if a Tier Four Demon Zombie appeared, their job was to stall for time and use the Grand Array to wear it down.

They would wait until most of the power in the Tier Four Demon Zombie’s Demon Core had been depleted, then finish it off.

But now, it seemed highly unlikely they could stall for that long.

Du Youqian quickly checked the remaining stock of Spiritual Diamonds. After a quick estimate, he began to trigger the Little Five Elements Divine Thunder with even greater frequency.

Under his cost-be-damned bombardment of Little Five Elements Divine Thunder, the Demon Zombie’s aura finally weakened slightly.

A quick calculation made Du Youqian’s scalp tingle.

At this rate of attrition, the current supply of Spiritual Diamonds would never last long enough to kill the Demon Zombie!

Unless... they sacrificed one or two Core Formation Masters, using their lives to buy more time.

And even if the reinforcement cultivators from the Holy Blood Sect and Taihe Sect used the Thousand-Mile Shuttle regardless of cost, it would still take them a considerable amount of time to arrive.

Between the Spiritual Diamonds running out, the Grand Array becoming a useless decoration, and the arrival of reinforcements, there was a significant window of vulnerability!

The Tier Four Demon Zombie’s power far exceeded their previous estimates.

Of course, it was more likely that there were stronger and weaker individuals among Tier Four Demon Zombies.

They had simply been unlucky enough to encounter a particularly strong one.

Du Youqian’s mind raced, and he quickly formulated a battle strategy.

The Little Five Elements Divine Thunder would continue to be triggered at a high, cost-be-damned frequency.

The Demon Zombie wasn’t stupid enough to just stand there and be struck by lightning. It seemed a new Spiritual Wisdom truly had been born in its corpse.

It began to charge about wildly. ’Is it searching for the source of the Little Five Elements Divine Thunder?’

By the time one-third of the Spiritual Diamonds were consumed, almost all of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators had arrived.

Although there was an insurmountable gap between Tier Two and Tier Four...

Enough ants could still kill an elephant.

Their arrival significantly eased the pressure on the Core Formation Masters.

Du Youqian also tried to slow the frequency of the Little Five Elements Divine Thunder.

When two-thirds of the Spiritual Diamonds were gone, the Demon Zombie’s aura was still overwhelmingly powerful.

The auras of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, however, had mostly grown weak and listless. Some had even disappeared entirely.

’I wonder if Luo Jinyu and Fang Hua are among the dead and injured.’

’I just hope they’re okay.’

’But when facing the threat of a Tier Four Demon Zombie, even I can’t spare a thought to look out for them.’

’Their fate is in their own hands now.’
