Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 52 9 The Dark and Desolate Land

It must be the zombie that the townspeople were talking about.

Yu Daoxuan slapped his storage bag with his right hand, and the Chongming Sword suddenly flew out.

With a hand gesture forming a sword incantation, the flying sword immediately emitted a bright red light and flew towards the head of the dark figure.

"Ding!"

A resounding clang of metal clashing echoed.

The dark figure leaped and dodged swiftly, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, only grazing the right shoulder.

Yu Daoxuan was slightly surprised, but as he got closer and saw the true form of the object, his heart suddenly trembled.

What appeared before me was not a green-haired zombie at all, but a purple zombie.

The purple zombie's body was as tough as copper and as strong as iron, and it could leap like the wind. Its strength was comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"How could it have transformed from a green zombie to a purple zombie in just a few days?"

Yu Daoxuan was filled with surprise and doubt.

The wounds on the corpse were clearly left by a green zombie, but in just a few days they turned into a purple zombie. This is truly bizarre.

Even so, he felt no fear whatsoever.

Although the purple zombies are comparable to those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, their movements are stiff and their moves are rigid, far less agile and varied than those of humans. Their actual combat strength is no match for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

That sword strike just now only managed to leave a shallow cut on the purple zombie's body.

This thoroughly enraged the purple zombie, its eyes blazing with ferocity, and a stench of corpses swept across the sky.

With a chilling glint in his claws and boundless killing intent, he leaped over ten feet, heading straight for Yu Daoxuan.

With a flick of his magical power, Yu Daoxuan conjured a protective shield around his body to isolate the corpse poison.

The corpse poison is cold and eerie; once inhaled, it will paralyze the meridians and disrupt one's magical power, so it must never be touched.

At the same time, a golden light flashed on his wrist, and golden wings quickly unfolded, allowing him to retreat dozens of feet.

Seeing that its attack had failed, the purple zombie became even more ferocious.

With a wide-open mouth, billowing dark green corpse poison and yin energy surged out, obscuring the moonlight from all directions.

Yu Daoxuan remained calm and composed, activating all his magical power and fully unleashing the Fiery Heavenly Gang Sword Technique.

The Chongming Sword shone brightly with crimson light, and raging flames wrapped around its blade, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

He summoned his golden wings and soared into the air, then slashed down with his sword.

The blazing sword light swept away everything in its path. The purple zombie couldn't dodge in time and was struck squarely on the right arm. The violent force instantly severed its entire right arm.

"roar!"

The purple zombie roared in agony, its malevolent aura surging, yet a deep sense of fear arose within it.

Although it felt no pain, it knew that the cultivator before it was far stronger than itself and should not be provoked, so it immediately turned to flee.

Yu Daoxuan activated his Golden Feather Wings and instantly caught up. He then activated his sword technique again, and the Chongming Sword burst out of the air, slamming hard into the back of the purple zombie.

With a loud bang, the purple zombie was sent flying through the air, rolling dozens of feet away.

However, this zombie's body was truly formidable, with copper skin and iron bones that were almost impervious to swords and spears. Even after being struck by two sword attacks, it was still able to struggle to its feet and frantically flee into the depths of the mountains and dense forests.

Yu Daoxuan moved with the shadow, relentlessly pursuing it.

For him, killing this zombie was no problem.

However, he wanted to know why this zombie had increased its strength so much in just a few days, and whether there was any evil cultivator behind it, so he deliberately let it leave.

The man and the corpse wandered through treacherous mountains, their path traversing only the most remote, steep, and secluded wilderness.

About an incense stick later, the purple zombie plunged into a secluded valley.

Before long, they followed it into a valley, where the surrounding yin energy gradually increased and the air was icy cold.

The moment you step into the valley, the temperature drops sharply, and layers of biting, yin energy envelop you, so dense that it almost becomes tangible.

Yu Daoxuan activated his spiritual eye technique to investigate carefully.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the sun never shines through it all year round. There is only one narrow entrance and exit, which is hidden by vines and is extremely secluded.

Stepping on the ground, the surface was all black soil, with a faint yin energy emanating from it, and the ground was covered with the small bones of infants.

"As expected, it was the work of an evil cultivator!"

Seeing the bones scattered all over the ground, Yu Daoxuan's heart sank.

He grabbed a handful of black mud, rubbed it, and then smelled it, confirming that this was a naturally formed "Nine Netherworlds Extreme Yin Land".

Such places have accumulated hundreds of years of yin energy from the earth's veins, making them natural breeding grounds for corpses and the easiest places to form corpse demons and ghosts.

No wonder that green zombie was able to transform into a purple zombie in just a few days; it turned out that it had entered this place to temper its body with the help of Yin energy.

They cautiously and slowly ventured deeper, and saw an open gray coffin in front of them, with talismans for suppressing corpses pasted on all sides.

Behind the coffin was a small pool of water, about three feet in diameter.

The pool water was pitch black and thick as ink, with wisps of cold mist rising from it, giving off an extremely chilling feeling.

The purple zombie was standing by the pool. The cold mist and yin energy transformed into several long snakes of spiritual energy that burrowed into its mouth and nose, rapidly repairing the wounds on its body.

Upon seeing Yu Daoxuan chase after them here, the purple zombie instantly flew into a rage and lunged forward to attack.

"You beast, you're asking for death."

Yu Daoxuan's expression was icy as he raised his hand and summoned the Fire Bird Diagram.

This purple zombie's body was as tough as copper and iron, making it difficult to kill with ordinary magical weapons and flying swords.

Therefore, he directly summoned the Firebird Diagram, a magical artifact.

The scroll unfurled in mid-air, flames surged, firebirds roared out, and torrents of fire poured down.

"boom!"

A raging inferno filled the sky, flames burning the shadows.

The domineering flames are especially effective against evil spirits. The purple zombie roared and struggled wildly in the sea of ​​fire, but was burned to ashes in no time.

After eliminating the purple zombie, Yu Daoxuan approached the coffin to examine it and discovered that it was actually a Yin coffin made of thousand-year-old locust wood.

The coffin was engraved with array patterns and exuded a cold aura, giving people a terrifying and sinister feeling.

Yu Daoxuan had read many books and materials in the Qingyuan Sect's library and knew that this was a unique Yin coffin artifact of the Corpse Yin Sect.

The Corpse Yin Sect is a demonic force in the Song Kingdom that uses the Yin Coffin technique to raise corpses, and most of its power comes from these zombies.

"It must be that someone discovered this place of extreme Yin and darkness and used it to raise corpses."

"Could this person raising corpses be a cultivator from the Corpse Yin Sect?"

"But the Corpse Yin Sect is located on the Heavenly Corpse Island, tens of thousands of miles away. How could cultivators from there come here?"

Yu Daoxuan frowned, his mind filled with doubts, before focusing his gaze on the black pool.

"This icy, black pool is actually quite similar to the legendary Xuanming Pool."

Yu Daoxuan investigated carefully and thought to himself.

The Xuanming Pool is naturally formed and extremely rare. It can only be formed after accumulating the essence of Yin energy for hundreds of years in the Nine Netherworlds of Absolute Yin.

If a corpse or ghost is nurtured in the Xuanming Pool, it will transform into a flying zombie or a ghost king within a hundred years.

The Flying Zombie and the Ghost King were comparable to human Purple Mansion cultivators in terms of cultivation level, and their intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people.

Most importantly, this Xuanming Pool can nurture an extremely yin and cold Xuanming Stone, which is the crystallization of the extreme yin energy of the Nine Netherworlds and the essence of the earth veins. It is an extremely rare natural treasure.

"I wonder if the Xuanming Stone nurtured in this pool has been taken away by someone."

Yu Daoxuan thought to himself, preparing to enter the icy Xuanming Pool.

But just as he turned around to investigate the Xuanming Pool, he suddenly noticed a faint fluctuation of magical power behind him.

The aura was cold and hidden, without any warning.

In just a moment, Yu Daoxuan felt a chill run down his spine, and his hair stood on end.

In the blink of an eye, it instantly caused Golden Wings to turn around and retreat to dodge, while hastily activating a magical shield.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Twelve dark green flying needles shot out from the sky, moving so fast that they were just afterimages.

The blue needles were swift and fast, striking the magic shield in quick succession.

His hastily conjured magical shield was no match for the attack and was instantly pierced and shattered by the green needle.
