Chapter 2379 - 2368: Defeat
The Zhous’ ancestral founder, Zhou Wufeng.He was the one who obtained the Corpse Demon Art back then.
When he obtained the Corpse Demon Art that year, he actually got two manuals of the cultivation technique in total.
The complete Corpse Demon Art was composed of two cultivation techniques, which were divided into a main cultivation technique and a secondary cultivation technique.
The main and secondary cultivation techniques were largely the same, only the main one was more complete than the secondary one.
After obtaining the Corpse Demon Art, what Zhou Wufeng handed over to the Zhous to cultivate was the secondary cultivation technique of the Corpse Demon Art. The main cultivation technique was cultivated by him alone; the rest of the Zhous, including the deceased ancestor Zhou Niantian, didn’t even know that the Corpse Demon Art had a main part.
The one who cultivated the main cultivation technique could refine and absorb those who had cultivated the secondary cultivation technique. This was the most special aspect of the main cultivation technique.
However, under normal circumstances, those who cultivated the main cultivation technique wouldn’t do this. Once they refined large numbers of those who cultivated the secondary cultivation technique, although their strength could be forcibly raised, the degree of decay of their own body would also intensify.
For those resurrected using the Corpse Demon Art, the decay of their bodies was irreversible, so if they unrestrainedly kept absorbing people who cultivated the secondary cultivation technique, the one cultivating the main cultivation technique would end up having his entire body rot away and die.
Zhou Wufeng, who had forcibly raised his strength to the Early Divine Venerate Realm, still had feelings for the Zhous. After all, the Zhous could be considered his creation, and now the people of the Zhous were almost all dead; the entire Zhou clan was completely annihilated.
Those resurrected by using the Corpse Demon Art did not possess the ability to reproduce.
From Zhou Wufeng’s rotten face, pus kept dripping down. His chilling gaze locked onto the Old Ghost.
The Old Ghost naturally did not fear Zhou Wufeng. After all, he himself was also an Initial Stage Divine Venerable Realm expert. A gust of black mist swept up in the air, and the Old Ghost’s figure suddenly closed in on Zhou Wufeng.
Facing the Old Ghost’s approach, Zhou Wufeng was extremely calm. Rolling corpse qi erupted from within his body.
"Corpse Qi Rampage!"
The corpse qi erupting from his body was like a monstrous tidal wave, crashing layer after layer onto the Old Ghost’s body.
The Old Ghost’s approaching figure abruptly came to a halt. A trace of anger appeared on his face as he was forced back three steps by the surging corpse qi.
Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old Steward, these three, although the corpse qi wasn’t specifically targeting them, once they sensed the corpse qi in the air, Cheng Yuanmu and the old Steward’s faces turned ashen, while Cheng Yiyao bent over and started retching on the spot.
A hint of solemnity flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes. He had originally thought that even if Zhou Wufeng had forcibly broken through to the Early Divine Venerate Realm, he still shouldn’t be the Old Ghost’s match—after all, the Old Ghost had stepped into the Early Divine Venerate Realm long ago. Yet the result was beyond Ye Chenfeng’s expectations.
Under the impact of Zhou Wufeng’s surging corpse qi, the Old Ghost was actually directly shaken back.
As the Old Ghost retreated, Zhou Wufeng launched another attack. His figure did not close in on the Old Ghost. Instead, his two somewhat rotten arms, covered in green pustules, began to whip about. The corpse qi around him skyrocketed, and Spiritual Energy climbed layer upon layer.
"Corpses Strewn Everywhere!"
Zhou Wufeng’s rotten palm slammed forward toward the Old Ghost.
"Boom!"
Shadow after shadow of desiccated corpses suddenly formed in midair.
Some of the green pustules on Zhou Wufeng’s body directly burst open, and the green liquid that splashed out of them poured straight into those shadows of desiccated corpses.
After that, all of those desiccated corpse shadows turned green and charged wildly at the Old Ghost.
The entire True Dragon Hall was collapsing rapidly. Zhou Wufeng’s move, Corpses Strewn Everywhere, was extremely powerful, but the Old Ghost was no pushover either. Yin qi and death qi exploded from within his body.
Both his palms thrust forward.
"Ghost Shield!"
In an instant, an extremely dense black mist formed in front of him, and this black mist condensed into a black mist shield.
With a "bang!"
Those green desiccated corpse shadows all slammed into the Ghost Shield.
The Ghost Shield dissipated.
Those shadows of desiccated corpses also all dissipated.
This exchange seemed evenly matched on the surface, but a few drops of the green liquid inside the desiccated corpse shadows had splashed onto the Old Ghost’s body.
Just as the Old Ghost was about to launch an attack—
He suddenly felt his body beginning to stiffen. Only then did he realize it must have been the green liquid that had splashed onto him. His aura frenziedly surged, yet his body grew more and more rigid, until in the end he was completely unable to move.
This green liquid had come from the pustules that had burst on Zhou Wufeng’s body.
This green liquid contained a certain deadly poison, and even a ghost creature could not escape this venom.
Seeing that the Old Ghost couldn’t move, a smile curled at Zhou Wufeng’s lips, and the pus dripping from his rotten face flowed faster. He said hoarsely, "Don’t waste your strength. For the next two hours, you won’t be able to move freely."
A ferocious expression twisted the Old Ghost’s face.
He hadn’t expected that on his first time coming out of the Coffin of Death to aid Ye Chenfeng, he would run into something like this. He felt he’d lost face to the extreme. What was more important was that he absolutely could not let anything happen to Ye Chenfeng—Ye Chenfeng was the disciple of his benefactors Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian.
Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old Steward had been watching the battle closely. Ever since they’d arrived at the Zhous, it had been one setback after another; every time they thought it was about to end, Ye Chenfeng would pull out something completely unexpected.
But now, even the Early Divine Venerate Realm ghost creature helping Ye Chenfeng had been restrained. Ye Chenfeng probably had no trump cards left, right? To have come this far, in their eyes Ye Chenfeng had already created miracle after miracle. This was already remarkable enough.
Ye Chenfeng saw that even the Old Ghost had been defeated.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. In his current condition, even if he were at his previous peak, he shouldn’t be able to handle an Initial Stage Divine Venerable Realm expert, let alone now, when his combat strength was at rock bottom.
At this point—
The safest plan was to take Cheng Yuanmu and the others into the small world inside the Chaos Ring.
Ye Chenfeng had just intended to take a step forward—
Only to see Zhou Wufeng suddenly wave his arm. Corpse qi and aura blasted out from his arm and slammed viciously into Ye Chenfeng’s chest.
Ye Chenfeng’s body was sent flying.
Half of the True Dragon Hall had already collapsed. Ye Chenfeng’s figure smashed into a pillar.
With a "crack!"
The pillar broke.
Ye Chenfeng spat out a mouthful of blood. Right now he was simply no match for an Initial Stage Divine Venerable Realm expert, and Zhou Wufeng was so bizarre on top of that.
Looking at the blood-spraying Ye Chenfeng, Zhou Wufeng rasped, "Brat, from beginning to end, if you hadn’t meddled in the matters of the Zhous, my clan would never have fallen to this point. Now, what tricks do you still have? What trump cards do you still have? Go ahead and let this Venerate see them all."
