Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 921 - 438: 4th Order Zombie! [Subscribe Request] _2

But things were different now.

Heavenly thunder naturally countered Yin Ghosts and Corpse Refinement Demons, let alone now when dozens, even hundreds of bolts of heavenly thunder were striking down in batches.

Those Iron-Clad Demon Corpses, under the bombardment of heavenly thunder, instantly turned into charred remains, utterly vanishing in a puff of smoke and ash!

In just a short dozen seconds or so, more than twenty Iron-clad Demon Corpses had completely perished.

Such a loss, even for a figure like Jiang Zhong, was heart-wrenching.

One must know that these Iron-Clad Demon Corpses were not easy to refine; an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, if possessing even one, could have a massive advantage in battles against cultivators of the same level.

Even for Jiang Zhong, refining one such Iron-Clad Demon Corpse would require a considerable amount of materials and time.

More crucially, with the destruction of over twenty Iron-Clad Demon Corpses, the power boost provided by the Corpse Refinement battle array significantly weakened, causing the aura of his Mana to fall out of the Golden Core Stage Cultivator range!

And the heavenly thunder in the sky was still continuously falling, showing no signs of stopping!

Under such circumstances, while Jiang Zhong felt shock and anger internally, he was also forced to resort to his last-ditch method.

One could see a fierce glint flash in his eyes as he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the "Profound Yin Corpse Gourd" on his body, and a beam of black light flew out from the gourd.

It was a black jade coffin!

With Zhou Chun's current vision and knowledge, he recognized at a glance that the material of the black jade coffin was "Profound Yin Jade," a type of exceedingly rare Yin attributed Spirit Material.

What kind of Corpse Refinement would use a jade coffin made from "Profound Yin Jade" for sealing and containment?

The moment Zhou Chun thought about this, his heart tightened, and he immediately had a terrifying guess.

Fourth Order Corpse Refinement!

Only a Fourth Order Corpse Refinement, comparable to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, was worthy of being sealed and contained by Jiang Zhong in a Profound Yin Jade Coffin.

Normally, even a Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator who had obtained a Fourth Order Corpse Refinement would absolutely not be able to refine and control it.

Because the ferocious will contained within a Fourth Order Corpse Refinement was not something a Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator could suppress; forcibly controlling it would only lead to backlash, or even being killed and devoured by the refined corpse!

But Jiang Zhong was not a typical Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator; he was one of the "Seven Fiends of the Origin Demon," a leading figure among the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators of the Corpse Demon Sect, not only was his natural will extraordinarily strong, but he had also successfully cultivated the Earth Zombie Mystic Skill, a cultivation technique highly suitable for controlling refined corpses, and had been highly valued by the upper echelons of the Corpse Demon Sect.

If he had some secret technique that allowed him to temporarily control a Fourth Order Corpse Refinement with his late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, it wouldn't be particularly surprising.

"Baibai, stop him!"

With immense urgency in his heart, Zhou Chun issued the command to the Thunder Flood Dragon, Baibai.

Baibai naturally understood what he meant, and upon hearing this, immediately took advantage of the continuous heavenly thunder from the sky as cover and suddenly opened his mouth to spit out a Silver Thunderball at Jiang Zhong himself.

Mid-air, Jiang Zhong seemed to sense something, his expression drastically changed as he hurriedly spat out a pitch-black pearl, instantly releasing a densely pure Corpse Fiend Qi that formed a black Protective Barrier around himself.

He clearly had great confidence in this black Protective Barrier; he slightly relaxed as it formed just before him.

But soon, he realized how ridiculous this confidence was!

Boom!

Accompanied by the Silver Thunderball striking Jiang Zhong, silver lightning flashed across the sky, emitting a thunderous explosive sound that shook the earth.

And Jiang Zhong, at the epicenter of the explosion, had to forcibly endure the full power of the "Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder"!

Because of the formidable impact of this strike, even the Blood Robe middle-aged man and the grey-clothed elder couldn't help but shift their focus onto Jiang Zhong, their hearts throbbing with fear at the immense power of this shocking strike, while also silently praying for Jiang Zhong.

Although Demon Path cultivators were extremely selfish, they were currently all in the same boat, and if Jiang Zhong were to perish, the two of them had no confidence in escaping.

Quickly, the rampant lightning gradually dissipated, and a beam of black light also shot out from it.

Phew!

Seeing that black light shoot out, both the Blood Robe middle-aged man and the grey-clothed elder couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But before they could fully relax, both were shocked by Jiang Zhong's miserable state at this moment, involuntarily gasping in shock.

At this moment, Jiang Zhong's Iron Armor was shattered, nowhere to be seen, and the invincible zombie body underneath was full of pits and scars; even his face was the same, looking even uglier than a toad.

Of course, for Jiang Zhong, who chose to cultivate the Earth Zombie Mystic Skill, beauty and ugliness had long ceased to concern him.

Nor would outsiders be so superficial as to define him by this.

However, at this moment, aside from his wretched and ugly appearance, his entire aura was also genuinely weakened a lot, nothing like his previous state!

Clearly, although he had survived the shocking strike just now, he had also been severely injured, and the damage reached down to his very foundation.

This kind of heavy injury could directly affect his future Core Formation, completely severing his path upwards!

One could thus imagine his current mood.

But seeing him rush out of the lightning-stricken area, his eyes blood-red as he howled at Zhou Chun, "Damn you, fool, do you know what stupid thing you've done? I'll refine you and every cultivator from your clan into living corpses, letting you never find release in this life!"

As his roar still echoed, a black pearl full of cracks flew out of his mouth, shooting towards the background.
