Chapter 1617: The Six-Eyed Demon King's Anger

Cough cough cough, I almost died in the Mangshan Mountain Range, damn Diewumeng, actually the first to deal with me instead of going after Jiang Tiansheng, damn. Outside the Mangshan Mountain Range, in an unvisited mountain peak, on the other side of the cliff, there is an entrance at the middle of the cliff, an entrance unknown to anyone. Passing through this cave and looking inside, the silhouette of the Second Corpse Lieutenant lies within.

He panted heavily, having run out of the Mangshan Mountain Range, fleeing without regard for anything, just wanting to get far from that dangerous place; fortunately he was smart, enduring the pain and escaping, otherwise he would truly have perished in the Mangshan Mountain Range this time.

"Jiang Tiansheng and Hongmu, these bastards, didn't bring me along when they left, damn it, both of them deserve to die."

After the Second Corpse Lieutenant vented his feelings, he understood the two; if it were himself, he wouldn't bring along a burden either, and if he were left behind because of that, it would hardly be worth the loss.

When they were running, the Second Corpse Lieutenant had already run, going underground; fortunately those Demon Kings had their attention drawn by the two of them, thus overlooking him, allowing the Second Corpse Lieutenant to escape and save his life.

"Cough cough cough, this body is ruined, the inner elixir is gone, the dantian is shattered."

"It seems Heaven wants me to become a zombie."

He looked at his own body; it was beyond saving.

This body is basically beyond saving; unless one finds a new body to possess, discarding this one, but there is no one around, making possession impossible. The only option before him is to transform himself into a zombie, becoming completely a zombie, no longer human.

As a zombie, one needs no so-called dantian, nor does one need to bitterly cultivate; simply absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon suffices to enhance one's corpse and corpse energy. As a Corpse Lieutenant of the Corpse Refining Sect, he has plenty of methods to turn into a zombie; previously he didn't want to do this, because a zombie's body is ultimately a zombie, a body gathered from deathly energy, incomparable to his human body.

But at this moment, he has no alternative; if he continues to wait, only a dead end awaits him.

Whoo whoo whoo, it seems Heaven wants me to become a zombie; enough, enough, having come this far, there is no choice left.

The Second Corpse Lieutenant knows he has no retreat; at this point, the only way is to transform into a zombie, and he must speed up the transformation. If someone discovers his existence, he will truly die. At such a time, he worries not only about people from other sects, but also about those demon beasts, and also about the Corpse Refining Sect's members; his body is excellent material for refining zombies, and if the Corpse Refining Sect's disciples see him, they will certainly not let him go.

Even if Jiang Tiansheng and his group found him, their first reaction would not be to rescue him, but to refine him into their zombie, erasing his consciousness, after which he would become their puppet zombie—a result he does not want.

The Second Corpse Lieutenant hurriedly got up, took out a spirit stone, and began setting up the formation.

Seal off the area; after one formation is set up, immediately begin arranging the Corpse Refining Sect's special formation to transform himself into a zombie, gathering the surrounding deathly and yin energy to accelerate the process.

After completing several simple formations in succession, he took out a coffin, placed it at the formation's center, then pulled out a lot of blood—these were all materials he used to refine zombies; fortunately he had supplies on hand, otherwise he might truly have been done for.

Human blood, plus the blood of many cultivators, was all poured into the coffin.

Then he lay down into the coffin and closed the lid.

He quickly formed hand seals; as the seals fell, the formation activated.

"Corpse Refining Sect's secret method."

"Corpse Refining Method."

"Refining."

The cave fell into silence, with no sound whatsoever anymore.

On the other side, the First Corpse Lieutenant and the Red-Eyed Corpse Lieutenant had rendezvoused after escaping; most of the other Corpse Refining Sect disciples were dead seven out of eight, and the remaining ones might be heading back to the sect, not joining them.

The two are extremely dangerous at the moment; anyone who gets close might become their food.

The two exchanged a glance; the Red-Eyed Corpse Lieutenant said, "Senior Brother, has Senior Brother Feng Luosheng died?"

The First Corpse Lieutenant shook his head: "I don't know; maybe he died, maybe not; we need to return to the sect to confirm."

Having said that, they all know that the Second Corpse Lieutenant Feng Luosheng and death are hardly different; falling into those Demon Kings' hands, the odds are grim.

One who has lost his inner elixir, whose dantian is broken, and whose cultivation has been emptied cannot possibly escape.

"Senior Brother, how should we face the Sect Master? Diewumeng has successfully advanced, Senior Brother Feng is still dead, and if the Sect Master finds out, we two..." The Red-Eyed Corpse Lieutenant worried endlessly; he wasn't too close, and at this moment the First Corpse Lieutenant was extremely dangerous.

Being too close will get one killed.

Jiang Tiansheng's pupils turned red, his whole body extremely weak, seemingly provoking the Red-Eyed Corpse Lieutenant to act.

"Junior Brother, things have already happened; saying this is useless, let's head back first."

"Yes, Senior Brother." The Red-Eyed Corpse Lieutenant dared not let his guard down, for he did not want to become the First Corpse Lieutenant's food.

Leaving cautiously, the First Corpse Lieutenant followed back; he did not act, for at such a time he must not act; he needs to return to the sect to replenish, otherwise he might truly be drained dry.

The Blue-Eyed Corpse King also needs blood food; otherwise, if he backfires, he might become the Blue-Eyed Corpse King's meal.

Meanwhile.

In the Myriad Demon Hall, the Six-Eyed Demon King let out a muffled grunt, dispelling his petrified state; his six eyes returned to normal, though he had paid a considerable price.

"Whoo, Bai Qing Shuang, petrification divine ability, truly troublesome; the Luotian White Snake Clan's divine ability is indeed bothersome."

"No wonder Zhang Mang has been targeting them, wishing to slaughter them all; once they grow up, they are quite troublesome."

The Six-Eyed Demon King knew that this time he had miscalculated; over on the Mangshan Mountain Range, Diewumeng had successfully survived the tribulation and advanced to the Tribulation Realm; upon learning this news, the Six-Eyed Demon King felt extremely gloomy and also very uncomfortable.

After all this effort, in the end he still let her succeed.

"Damn it, clearly Diewumeng is already injured, hardly different from death; the final heavenly tribulation cannot be survived—what are those Corpse Refining Sect wastes doing? This cannot kill her."

"After Diewumeng advances to the Tribulation Realm, it is unlikely for this king to control the Mangshan Demon Palace; two Tribulation Realm beings are both troublesome women, and facing them, this king has no chance of victory."

The Six-Eyed Demon King was furious; he clearly knew that after Diewumeng, this woman, advanced to the Tribulation Realm, her divine abilities would increase along with it, her power becoming greater, making it unlikely to capture her.

Coordinating with Bai Qing Shuang, even if he brought all his people along, he would still fail.

"Could it be necessary to join forces with other Demon Kings to act? Those Demon Kings are not so easy to invite."

"Moreover, the Mangshan Mountain Range belongs to this king; those people are not so easily... persuaded."

"Damn it, damn Corpse Refining Sect, truly useless, a bunch of wastes."
