Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 924 - 439: What a level! [Subscribe requested]

Lin Hongyu's arrival gave all of Zhou Chun's previous perseverance meaning.

But as soon as she appeared, she opened her mouth and spat out her Lifebound Dharma Treasure, the Flame Dragon Ring, sending it hurtling toward the Fourth Order Zombie.

By this time, Lin Hongyu had nurtured her Lifebound Dharma Treasure for decades, its power had increased by several folds compared to when it was first forged.

The moment the crimson ring appeared, it burst into dazzling flames, swiftly transforming into a Fire Flood Dragon tens of meters long, lunging at the Fourth Order Zombie.

Faced with such an onslaught, the Fourth Order Zombie seemed to sense the threat and immediately let out a thunderous roar, unleashing a surge of Corpse Fiend Qi from its body that morphed into a black Demon Tiger to confront the Fire Flood Dragon.

However, as soon as the black tiger clashed with the Fire Flood Dragon, it was pierced through by the body of the Flame Dragon Ring within the dragon, creating a gaping hole about a meter in diameter in its massive frame.

Soon, a sea of red flames enveloped the Demon Tiger, burning it into wisps of blue smoke within moments, the creature formed purely from Corpse Fiend Qi refined.

Compared to Zhou Chun's previous struggling, Lin Hongyu now undoubtedly appeared much more composed.

This was the gap between Cultivation Realms.

Then, after the Flame Dragon Ring punctured the Demon Tiger, crimson blade light surged along the edge of the ring, spinning like a scythe towards the body of the Fourth Order Zombie.

But the Fourth Order Zombie was no ordinary foe; its physical body had been hardened to the level of a Dharma Treasure.

It swiped at the crimson ring with claws emitting several feet of gray-black claw light, forcefully batting the ring away.

But the ring, being Lin Hongyu's Lifebound Dharma Treasure, was closely linked to her mind.

Almost in an instant, she willed it to burst into towering flames once more, continuing to hammer ferociously at the Fourth Order Zombie.

This time, the Fourth Order Zombie attempted to swat the crimson ring away as before, but its claw struck only a fake, a decoy made of fire energy.

The real Flame Dragon Ring suddenly wrapped around its body, tightly binding its arms and torso.

At the same time, towering flames erupted from within the treasure, quickly engulfing the Fourth Order Zombie in a sea of fire.

It seemed Lin Hongyu intended to refine the Fourth Order Zombie with the might of her Lifebound Dharma Treasure in one fell swoop!

But things were never that simple.

After all, a Fourth Order Zombie was on the same level as a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. Even though it lacked a Dharma Treasure and its Divine Skills were far less versatile than those of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, diminishing its strength, it was not so easily slain.

At that moment, a furious roar resounded from within the crimson sea of fire, and ink-like Corpse Fiend Qi burst from the body of the Fourth Order Zombie, coalescing into swathes of blue-gray corpse flames to combat the fiery inferno.

Its arms also expanded with effort, its formidable physical strength gradually stretching the Flame Dragon Ring, shaking the treasure's binding by sheer force of flesh.

"Evil beast, take this!"

Lin Hongyu's delicate shout rang out, her eyebrows shooting up as she immediately formed hand seals, condensing a rich, crimson light before her body that eventually shaped into a two-foot-long fiery spear.

The spear, pulsing with fire runes, emitted a fearsome aura that even made Zhou Chun feel a chill.

Clearly, this was a Secret Technique Divine Ability Lin Hongyu had cultivated after her Core Formation, designed specifically to deal with enemies of the same rank.

"Go!"

With a shout, Lin Hongyu pushed her palm forward, and the fiery spear pierced through the air, shooting straight at the Fourth Order Zombie still struggling to break free.

The spear struck the chest of the Fourth Order Zombie with an explosive boom.

After the blow, the zombie's body, which could withstand a Dharma Treasure, had a large hole blown through it, revealing dark cavities of bone and black corpse fluid.

Any normal person would be killed or severely injured by such a hit.

But a Fourth Order Zombie has no vital spots; even beheading won't kill it.

To kill such a formidable creature, one must either completely smash its undead body to ash or shatter its Corpse Pearl.

The Corpse Pearl is the source of a Fourth Order Zombie's strength and the seat of its consciousness.

Once the Corpse Pearl is shattered or seized and sealed, the zombie's physical form becomes useless.

However, the Corpse Pearl is usually deeply hidden within the chest or skull of a Fourth Order Zombie, making it no easy task to destroy.

Though Lin Hongyu's strike shattered the creature's chest, the Corpse Pearl was not there, apparently located within the skull instead.

Sensing the danger, the Fourth Order Zombie didn't wait for Lin Hongyu to strike again and immediately spat out a pitch-black orb engulfed in raging corpse flames.

At first glance, this orb seemed similar to the one used by Jiang Zhong, but it was evidently larger and of a different shade, clearly not the same orb.

Indeed, it was different.

Jiang Zhong's Corpse Pearl was but a relic obtained from another refined corpse by the Corpse Demon Sect, a mere tribute to drive the creature.

Compared to a Fourth Order Zombie's pearl, formed through the cultivation of the Corpse Demon Sect's sinister techniques, Jiang Zhong's pearl was inferior in both quality and divine abilities.
