Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Shi Wuming's voice echoed through the palace: "Shi Jian, didn't you want to destroy my Corpse Soul Sect?"

"I'd like to see if you, the Thunder King, can break this great formation!"

Shi Jian stood in the center of the formation, surveying the entire array.

Nine geomancers used their natal corpse puppets as a link to turn the entire palace into a sealed cage.

Shi Wuming stood at the core of the formation, controlling the operation of the entire formation.

At the peak of the Earth Master realm, Shi Jian was already at a disadvantage compared to the early stage of the Celestial Master realm.

Adding to the problem is the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Formation, which is specifically designed to target the primordial spirit of cultivators, making the situation even more complicated than he had anticipated.

At the heart of the formation, Shi Wuming was enveloped in a dense aura of death, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Shi Jian, this Nine Yin Soul Devouring Formation is something I spent ten years cultivating to train nine Earth Master Elders."

"If you can die in this battle, then your life will not have been in vain."

"Corpse Qi Locks the Void!" Shi Wuming stood in the center of the formation, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

The space suddenly trembled, and Shi Jian felt an invisible force completely isolating him from the outside world.

All escape methods, including flying, teleporting, and burrowing underground, have become ineffective.

"The vengeful spirits devour my bones!"

Shi Wuming took out a jet-black soul-suppressing bell from his sleeve and shook it violently.

Ring ring!

The moment the bell rang, all nine elder geomancers simultaneously bit their tongues.

They spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which merged into the corpse puppets in front of them.

The corpse puppets suddenly let out terrifying howls.

Immediately afterwards, ninety-nine vengeful spirit phantoms surged out from the corpse puppet's body, transforming into gray-black mist that condensed in the air and pounced towards Shi Jian.

Those vengeful spirits have no physical form, but they carry a chilling power that penetrates directly into the sea of ​​consciousness, and they devour souls!

Shi Jian's mind was suddenly jolted, as if countless vengeful spirits were piercing his primordial spirit.

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly circulated his magic power to protect his mind.

Shi Jian sneered, "You think you can devour my soul with such meager tricks? Get lost!"

A terrifying thunderous aura erupted from his body, and the extremely powerful and yang thunderous force swept through his sea of ​​consciousness.

Those vengeful spirit phantoms were instantly shredded by lightning, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Wuming's eyes: "Quite the willpower!"

"However, this is just an appetizer."

He raised his hand and waved it, and the nine Earth Master Elders once again activated their original corpse puppets.

The nine corpse puppets roared to the sky at the same time, their bodies growing to several meters tall.

Its body was covered in heavy corpse armor, emanating a strong aura of death and malevolence.

"The third level: Corpse Demon Transformation!"

The nine elders simultaneously formed hand seals, and nine corpse demons pounced towards Shi Jian.

The scene of nine corpses, each over ten feet tall, rushing towards them simultaneously was extremely spectacular.

Each of the corpse demon's fists was enveloped in terrifying corpse energy, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

Shi Jian's expression remained unchanged. He gathered lightning in his fists and slammed one fist into the chest of the nearest corpse demon.

"Seventh Form, Thunder Prison Demon Suppression!"

boom!

Lightning exploded, enveloping the entire corpse demon in its thunder.

The corpse demon let out a shrill scream, its body emitting smoke.

A large section of the armor on the chest was blown apart!

After only a two-breath pause, the corpse demon charged forward again, as if the previous attack had not had much of an effect on it.

Shi Jian frowned; these corpse demons were much more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated.

"These corpse demons are connected to the array's core; they can't be destroyed by lightning magic alone!"

Shi Jian saw through this, "We must break the formation first."

"Second move! Lightning bursts forth!"

Lightning exploded in front of him, transforming into more than a dozen tiny bolts of lightning that simultaneously shot towards the few corpse demons charging at the forefront.

The lightning sparked into bursts of sparks on the corpse demons, forcing them back a few steps, but still did not cause fatal damage.

Shi Jian dodged while observing.

Although these corpse demons moved fiercely, they were not particularly fast.

His figure weaved and dodged among the nine corpse demons, easily avoiding their attacks each time.

"Their weakness is in their chests," Shi Jian noticed after several attacks.

The thickest armor on these corpse demons is on their limbs and head, while the armor on their chest is noticeably thinner than on other parts.

It should be that the corpse energy in the chest circulates the fastest during each attack, while the defense is weakest.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Jian swayed and flashed to the side of a corpse demon, lightning suddenly condensing in his palm.

"Eighth Form! Thunder Breaks All Laws!"

With a single punch, lightning struck the corpse demon precisely in the chest.

The corpse armor suddenly exploded, and Shi Jian slapped the crack with his palm again.

Lightning bolts shot into the corpse demon's body through the crack and exploded from the inside.

The corpse demon let out a muffled roar, its body cracking from the inside out before crashing to the ground.

"One!"

Shi Jian withdrew his fist and turned to look at the remaining eight corpse demons.

Shi Wuming stood at the core of the formation, watching Shi Jian destroy a corpse demon at an extremely fast speed, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Even a peak-level geomancer can achieve this..."

"If we don't get rid of you today, you will surely become a great threat in the future!"

He formed a hand seal, and a beam of black light shot from his fingertips into the array's core.

The remaining eight corpse demons roared simultaneously, their speed increased, and they rushed towards Shi Jian, enveloped in even denser corpse energy.

Shi Jian fought and retreated, constantly changing his position in the narrow space.

Although he killed a corpse demon, his magical power was being rapidly depleted.

After those corpse demons are shattered, they will soon be replenished and repaired by the yin energy in the formation, and they will be able to stand up again before long.

"The core of this formation is that blood pool."

Shi Jian's gaze fell on the huge pool of blood in the center of the palace.

The key points of those array patterns are not only where Shi Wuming stands, but the blood pool is the true source of energy for the entire array.

As long as the blood pool exists, these corpse demons will never be eradicated.

After making his judgment, Shi Jian immediately rushed towards the blood pool without hesitation.

"Stop him!" Shi Wuming's expression changed, and he gave the order.

The remaining corpse demons blocked the blood pool at the same time. Shi Jian punched out and smashed one of the corpse demons, and continued to rush forward.

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the blood pool, Shi Wuming's voice rang out again.

"I told you, you can't escape."

He clasped his hands together abruptly, and the array's core beneath his feet suddenly blazed with a blinding dark red light.

The nine Earth Master elders simultaneously roared, their magical power surging wildly towards the array's core.

"The fourth level, Nine Yin Return to One!"

Shi Wuming stepped forward, his arms outstretched.

The combined corpse energy and resentment of the nine Earth Master Elders, along with all the Yin energy accumulated in this blood pool over the past decades.

He drew it all away, gathered it in his palm, and transformed it into a jet-black stream of light.

"Shi Jian, you have reason to be proud that you died by this move."

Shi Wuming thrust his palms forward: "Nine Yin Extinction Divine Light!"

The jet-black streak shot towards Shi Jian.

It was moving at an extreme speed, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction.
