?Chapter 742: Chapter 329: Encountering a Tribulation Zombie Chapter 742: Chapter 329: Encountering a Tribulation Zombie The colorful mist that enveloped the area was once again dispersed by the shockwave from the explosion.
Even the mist far away from where Lin Jing and his companions were located was likewise blown away.
As the fog cleared, Lin Jing and the two others immediately looked towards the direction of the explosion.
Above the site of the explosion, they saw a corpse standing in the void.
This corpse, resembling an extremely handsome middle-aged man, was unlike the other corpses; he didn’t seem like a corpse, but rather like a normal person.
If it weren’t for the fact that this man wasn’t among those who had entered, and no vitality could be felt emanating from him,
Lin Jing almost thought he was a cultivator too.
At that moment,
it stood in the void, its eyes tightly shut.
The countless spiritual power generated by the previous self-destruction converged from all directions into the body of this corpse.
Upon seeing this corpse, the ancestor of the Yan Family’s expression drastically changed, becoming deathly pale.
“It’s…
it’s him…”
The Yan Family ancestor, pale-faced, blurted out upon looking at the corpse, apparently recognizing its identity.
Lin Jing, puzzled, quickly turned his head to look at the Yan Family ancestor.
Lin Jing was about to ask a question but was stunned.
Because while looking at the Yan Family ancestor, Lin Jing saw that the numerous corpses on the streets had suddenly all stopped in their tracks.
The corpses stood there, deadpan, and simultaneously looked up at the special corpse in the air.
It seemed like they were worshipping their king.
Lin Jing immediately realized something was terribly wrong.
He hurriedly asked the Yan Family ancestor,
“Senior, who is this ‘he’ that you mentioned?”
The Yan Family ancestor turned his head to Lin Jing and then said,
“You must also know that once in this Soul Tomb, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse perished…”
At this point, the Yan Family ancestor looked up again at the corpse in mid-air:
“That fallen Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse is him…”
“In the very center of Seaheart Island, there is a statue that looks exactly like him.”
At that time.
Changyun Yuanlei had just recovered from the shock and quickly said,
“I…
I have also seen that statue…”
“It looks exactly like this corpse.”
The Yan Family ancestor looked at the corpse, his brows deeply furrowed:
“I feel, that explosion just now, seemed like it was deliberately created by him.”
“Has the corpse developed consciousness?”
“Or is it about to resurrect?”
“Or rather, is there some sinister entity attempting to use his body for resurrection, thus forcing a self-destruction to absorb the spiritual power generated, enabling a complete resurrection?”
Changyun Yuanlei looked towards the corpse in mid-air, understandably anxious:
“In that case, aren’t we even in more danger now?”
The Yan Family ancestor nodded:
“As a Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse, even if it truly is just a corpse, we are no match for it.”
“Moreover, seeing it like this, it seems to have developed some consciousness and is about to resurrect…”
After finishing, the Yan Family ancestor looked at Lin Jing and the other person, saying:
“We can’t delay any longer, we need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, once we encounter him, we will undoubtedly die.”
Lin Jing nodded.
Under the current circumstances, indeed, they could not afford further delay.
Afterward.
The trio quickly sprang into action, rushing forward.
Just as the three began to move, the corpse standing in the void suddenly opened its eyes.
First, the corpse looked towards one of the alleyways, then shifted its gaze to Lin Jing and the others, the corners of its mouth lifting in a sinister smile…
…
At this point, the colorful mist had once again started spreading, enveloping Lin Jing and his companions within.
Lin Jing and his group could no longer see the corpse.
But just then,
Lin Jing felt as though he had suddenly plunged into an icy cavern, his body going cold.
It seemed as if he was about to face a tremendous crisis.
The Yan Family ancestor and Changyun Yuanlei seemed to feel it too.
Changyun Yuanlei shivered, while the Yan Family ancestor’s brow furrowed even tighter.
Following this, the three of them quickened their pace considerably.
????0.??
Soon.
Lin Jing and his companions had covered two-thirds of the distance, leaving only a third remaining to reach the Teleportation Array at the center of the Soul Tomb.
Here, the corpses had grown even more formidable.
Although these corpses could not use spells and only instinctively used physical attacks, their bodies had become incredibly tough.
Now, eliminating a single corpse took much more effort than before.
Even Lin Jing had to fully exert himself to kill a corpse with one strike, unlike before when it was much easier.
Meanwhile, the use of the green light by the Yan Family ancestor was also increasingly taxing, and if not careful, using too much Spiritual Power could attract other nearby corpses.
Thus, Lin Jing had essentially taken the lead now.
Just then, another loud explosion was heard.
Another cultivator had self-destructed.
The recent explosion was the last of the three individuals; with this last person self-destructing, all three had perished.
Of the three, two had self-destructed, and the third was silent with no movement, presumably meeting a similar fate.
And this explosion occurred further from the main street,
also carrying a hint of Demonic Qi.
Clearly, this self-destruction had likely been one of the two Demon Cultivators.
This explosion was different from the previous one; it was more powerful and also produced a shockwave.
But it did not disperse the colorful mist.
Unable to see the circumstances, Lin Jing and his companions could only continue to push forward.
After this explosion, the corpses once again stood dumbfounded in place, so seizing this opportunity, Lin Jing and his companions quickly pushed ahead deeper.
