Primordial Era: I am the Bull Demon King, the First Demon of All Time

Chapter 93 How dare you! You don't even know about the existence of the Corpse Ancestor!

Chen Jing immediately understood that Zhen Yuanzi had misunderstood him, and quickly spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist misunderstands. Being able to taste a ginseng fruit is already an immense blessing. I dare not ask for more. I only wish to witness the extraordinary nature of this innate spiritual root. I have no other intentions."

Seeing Chen Jing's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, Zhen Yuanzi was also a little confused.

However, considering the young man's sentiments and character, Zhen Yuanzi thought there was nothing wrong with it, since he was right there beside him.

Stepping out of the main hall, Chen Jing headed straight for the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple. In the backyard, he finally saw the platinum treasure chest he was looking for, which was placed under the trunk of the ginseng fruit tree.

Pretending to admire the ginseng fruit tree, Chen Jing walked around it once and then pocketed the platinum treasure chest.

Returning to Zhen Yuanzi's side, he slowly said, "As expected of one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, truly extraordinary. I've learned a lot, young man."

Afterwards, Chen Jing bid farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and left Wuzhuang Temple amidst Zhen Yuanzi's reluctance.

Standing in the Longevity Mountain, Chen Jing took to the air and swept his vast divine sense around before returning to Abbot Island.

However, in his divine sense, he discovered a settlement of human beings.

It is likely that when the demon race was massacring the human race, Zhen Yuanzi used his "Sleeve Universe" technique to save some of the humans.

Chen Jing noticed that in the human settlement, a large group of people were gathered together, looking flustered, as if something had happened.

His figure flashed through the air and appeared above the human settlement.

Then, it slowly descended.

As Chen Jing descended from the sky, the humans who had gathered together all bowed to him in respect.

"Greetings, Immortal."

At this moment, Chen Jing's gaze fell upon a human corpse emanating an aura of death.

The human corpse, radiating deathly aura, with its completely white eyes, was still struggling.

A word instantly popped into Chen Jing's mind.

Zombie.

All living beings in the primordial world, whether saints or mortals, have existed within the Five Elements and Six Paths since birth.

This is different from a zombie. A zombie is neither alive nor spiritual; it is a being outside the six realms of existence.

In the primordial era, there were no zombies. However, zombies only appeared after the emergence of humankind.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away from this human settlement, there was a cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling stood there, seemingly out of place on this ancient continent.

At this time, the primordial world was rich in spiritual energy. Apart from the Netherworld Blood Sea and places like Yin Mountain, many other places were spiritual mountains and fairylands.

However, outside this cave, there was not only no spiritual energy, but the surrounding spiritual energy could not penetrate into it either.

A gray gas permeated the entire cave.

Inside this cave dwelling dwells a gigantic ferocious beast, and the gray aura emanating from it is the source of that aura.

"roar"

The ferocious beast let out a low growl, and its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. With another low growl, the gray gas throughout the cave surged.

"These humans taste really good; they've actually helped me improve my cultivation. If I can keep consuming them like this, I might even reach the Primordial Chaos realm!"

The ferocious beast lay there talking to itself.

Chen Jing glanced at the human corpse exuding death energy and said to the humans around him, "He is no longer human."

""

Then, one spell after another was cast, and the zombie on the ground turned into ashes.

Through conversations with the other humans around him, Chen Jing learned that long ago, some humans had disappeared, but everyone assumed they were killed by monsters while hunting. Recently, however, more and more humans have been disappearing.

Just a few days ago, a group of humans went hunting in a forest in the south and discovered this zombie that was about to ambush them.

Several people tied him up tightly before bringing him back.

Hopefully, we can find the reason for the continuous disappearance of the human race from him.

After listening to what the humans had to say, Chen Jing flew directly south.

He didn't know he was supposed to help humanity rid themselves of this scourge. What he was thinking about was the first zombie in the world, the Corpse Ancestor. In his previous life, Jiang Chen had only heard of Jiang Chen's legend, but Chen Jing knew nothing about his specific birth time or his background.

However, given the current situation, he might get some clues.

Chen Jing flew south, constantly scanning the area below with his divine sense.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, a deathly aura below caught Chen Jing's attention.

Chen Jing landed directly from the sky.

But they found several zombies there, and the deathly aura was emanating from these zombies.

Chen Jing glanced at these zombies; they were far more powerful than the zombies he had encountered among humans.

Zombies are somewhat similar to the witch clan; they do not cultivate Taoist arts or primordial spirit, but only their physical bodies, absorbing the yin and evil energy of heaven and earth and death energy to cultivate their physical bodies.

The zombie I saw in the human settlement seemed to have just become a zombie and didn't have any cultivation yet.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been captured and taken back by a few humans who had no cultivation.

Chen Jing saw that these zombies had already developed cultivation, but they were just ordinary flying zombies, with cultivation levels barely equivalent to the Earth Immortal realm.

How could such a zombie possibly cause trouble for Chen Jing?

He had no interest in studying these zombies; his only interest was in the Corpse Ancestor, just as the zombies were about to reach Chen Jing.

With a wave of his sleeve, Chen Jing obliterated the zombies.

Just after Chen Jing annihilated these zombies, several more zombies flew in rapidly from all directions.

Among this group of zombies, one was quite large.

It seems to have been a zombie for a long time, as the death aura emanating from its body is much stronger than that of other zombies.

In Chen Jing's view, this zombie was already comparable to a cultivator in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Such a zombie should no longer be the kind of ignorant zombie that acts purely on instinct without any thought or consciousness. At this level, it should have already developed intelligence.

"Who are you, and why are you killing my people?"

Chen Jing was taken aback. It seemed that not only had it developed intelligence, but it could also speak.

He walked directly toward the talking zombie. The death aura on the zombie had no effect on Chen Jing's mountain of flesh and simply dissipated.

Perhaps sensing the powerful aura emanating from Chen Jing, the zombie trembled slightly, retreating while saying, "Don't come any closer."

This remark instantly amused Chen Jing, who wanted to ask, "Are you a zombie or a clown?"

So he asked, "Where?"

Upon hearing this, the zombie was even more terrified, never expecting that this person would know about the existence of the Corpse Ancestor.
