Chapter 387: Fighting the Fifth-Rank Great Zombie

The corpse horde howled, rapidly closing in, and stretched out their hands.

*Swish! * With a swing of the Dharma sword, those corpse hands were severed.

Du En silently counterattacked, and within the sword swings, he severed and pulverized a large number of corpses.

*Bang! * But not every corpse could be dealt with so easily; a stiff corpse hand suddenly lashed out, directly shattering the Dharma treasure sword, then violently exploded the frail living corpse beside it, and suddenly appeared before Du En.

Wearing armor, dead but not decaying, stiffened into a corpse.

A zombie!

"Careful, that was once a guard of the Holy Capital!"

The Holy God offered a warning, attempting to use their own light to redeem their former follower, but as expected, it had no effect.

That dead soldier, with fluorite crystal clusters growing on its body and its corpse-transformation being extremely abnormal—one could say it was a new species of zombie—could cause the space to shatter with a casual slap, making it a solid Fourth-Rank Perfection! Yet Du En was unafraid; he raised a hand to catch that strike directly, and as his other hand reached out, he repaired the shattered space and then incidentally smashed the head of this Fourth-Rank Fluorite Zombie.

Headless, it still had not died.

It was already a dead corpse; what was driving it now was merely a cluster of crystalline tumors, a deformed origin, and there was not even a trace of corpse Qi—it was a deformed corpse turned zombie! Du En was expressionless as he crushed this deformed origin once more.

"Roar!"

In the distance within the darkness of the Holy Mausoleum, something sensed the commotion here, and a roar that could directly shatter the crowded living corpses in the corridor echoed from afar.

"It is an elite soldier of the Holy Kingdom..."

It is a Fifth-Rank Fluorite Zombie, a Great Zombie!

To be met with such a formation right from the start, one can only say it is worthy of the Unmoving True Monarch.

Du En raised his hand to sweep across the front, and raging flames covered the pile of corpse remains before him.

Amidst a sizzling sound, the useless corpse flesh turned to fly ash, the remaining fluorite essence gathered, and layers of restrictions were forged within the fire; like bone growing within a body, in the blink of an eye, a Fifth-Rank Low-Grade crystal sword was refined by him at the cost of his Dharma power.

Somewhat unexpected, yet seemingly within reason?

There was no time to delay and ponder.

*Clang! * A punch struck the pommel of the newly born Dharma treasure, and amidst the sonic boom, he charged directly in the direction of the roar.

—Now that his Divine Sense was restricted, there was no great difference whether he used a weapon or not; it would even waste more Dharma power in vain. It was better to use the most suitable combat method here, using his physical body and spiritual body to simply overpower through brute force.

*Boom! * The Dharma treasure naturally broke through layers of mausoleum soil, and upon hitting the target, it exploded on the spot, blasting a hole the size of a wheel into its body.

Du En lunged forward like a stream of light, following the straight line pierced by the Dharma treasure, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Fifth-Rank Fluorite Zombie and raised his hand for a punch.

Diamond energy manifested; because it is indestructible, it can destroy all things! "Roar!"

Although it was blasted nearly in half, it knew no pain, having long since died, and it swung the door-sized greatsword in its hand, slashing straight down.

*Bang! * The origin exploded.

*Clang! * The greatsword snapped.

Du En twisted his neck; there was only a shallow white mark on it. A Fifth-Rank zombie, known for having a body as strong as its rank and famous for its pain-free, fearless brute force, was now facing him, yet it was only at this level—a level he could smash with a casual strike.

His fists and feet were even stronger than the self-detonation of a Fifth-Rank Dharma treasure! But this did not mean that the self-detonation of Dharma treasures was useless.

Du En raised his hand again, the fire reignited, burning and refining the Fluorite Zombie and its greatsword.

The Holy God Hanging Lamp hesitated and stammered slightly, seemingly wanting to say something.

Although they had already deformed, these zombies and living corpses were people who followed and revered them in life, they were believers, and now they should have been resting in peace in the paradise of the Holy Mausoleum, but they were first infected and diseased, then refined by Du En into Dharma treasures, and used for self-detonation...

In the end, she said nothing, only letting out a long sigh.

Meanwhile.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

If one dead elite soldier of the Holy Kingdom could become a Fifth-Rank Fluorite Zombie, then how many such corpses were there in this Holy Mausoleum? The answer was countless! Thus, even if only a small portion of the truly dead-but-not-decaying corpses could successfully undergo the pathological transformation, it still meant that this underground mausoleum was currently filled with numerous Fifth-Rank Great Zombies! The level of a Great Cultivator, in the end, is only the starting point for a True Person; they are children who have not yet grown up and might die prematurely.

In other words, if the adults have no sense of responsibility, completely ignore their future possibilities, or are even more insane, it is not impossible to produce them in batches!

Just like that Zheng Xing story!

And at this moment, nearly a hundred Fifth-Rank Great Zombies had been alerted in various places, dragging their respective weapons from life, rushing from all corners of the dark mausoleum soil toward the only light! *Sss—* The sizzling sound stopped; a deep purple, heavy great spear had already taken shape in Du En's hand. It was ranked Fifth, of High grade, approaching the Peak. The quality of the fluorite was still surprisingly high, and after being refined by the Earth-Wood Holy Refining, it could easily produce a Dharma treasure that surpassed its original quality.

Du En had already fully captured and perceived that during the refining process, as the vessel embryo took shape and impurities were refined away, those pathological spiritual energies would continuously surge in, as if treating it as a brand-new living spiritual body, infecting and catalyzing it; thus, as the vessel embryo took shape, its quality would rise vigorously.

Such a situation was perhaps because the Unmoving True Monarch had considered the puppet bodies of the Rotten Forest Immortal Sect, or perhaps there were other powerful and peculiar spiritual bodies that were in a similar situation.

A method of tempering oneself as if refining a Dharma treasure...

Without time to think further, he raised the great spear and threw it at the nearest approaching Great Zombie.

Amidst a *Booming* sound, like thunder appearing underground, the terrifying power propelled the formidable Dharma treasure, directly carving out another ten-foot-wide passage beneath the Holy Mausoleum.

"Sigh! If possible, do not be so wanton; the soil outside the corridor also contains many who are resting in peace, though they have already withered away..."

The Holy God's sigh carried helplessness, attempting to correct this child who had been summoned back to turn the tide.

Du En was no longer in his original spot, stepping forward to close in on the target Great Zombie.

This Fifth-Rank Great Zombie was even more terrifying; it seemed as if several zombies had devoured each other, catalyzed each other, and pathologically deformed each other, possessing the strength of a Fifth-Rank Mid-Stage, which, when calculated, matched his own cultivation.

But at this moment, without even aiming for a weak point, the fluorite great spear violently thrust forward, carrying terrifying power, and forcibly tore the Great Zombie apart.

Before the several corpse chunks could hit the ground, they suddenly roared in unison, stopped in mid-air, and violently erupted with great force and might, whether by fist, claw, or weapon, smashing the space and attacking Du En, who had seized the momentum to kill.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang... *

His whole body was covered in Diamond energy, and his inexhaustible strength surged thunderously; with a wave of his hand, it was like a mountain collapsing, as he directly received all these attacks that could shatter the surface of space.

No, not just received! Fists were smashed, claws were shattered, and weapons were broken! In a mere encounter, Du En, utilizing the power of the Three Indestructibles, had already crushed them from the front! (End of chapter)
