Chapitre 217: Cultivation 18

Wang Ling was suddenly having a very bad feeling when the entire sect heard a commotion from the main entrance. He learned about the Heavenly Demon Emperor's legacy in the statues from the Fiendgod Scripture he obtained years ago.

The scripture contained the Fiendgod Blood Refinement technique which allowed him to quickly grow in power as he absorbed the souls, bloodlines, physiques, and cultivation of talented individuals, as well as many insights on the Dao left behind by the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

How could he not know about the sect founder's final legacy? He spent years looking for ways to destroy the impossibly tough stone and obtain what was rightfully his and he wouldn't allow anyone to take it from him.

It took a lot out of him to go to the entrance without looking too panicked or worried.

By the time he arrived, a small crowd already gathered and was standing around the debris of the main entrance. When they saw him coming, they parted for him to look at what happened himself.

Normally he would feel smug about how he, someone who used to be a street rat, was now the direct disciple of the Grand Elder and was respected and feared by the usually arrogant demonic cultivators but all that didn't matter in the slightest at the moment.

The two statues were destroyed, the debris lying around, and most importantly, his treasures were stolen from him. He was seething with anger and fury but he could skin some unlucky fellow later, now he needed his things back.

"Notify the elders, get them out of seclusion if you have to!

I want whoever did this to be in front of my door in an hour, alive.

If I don't see results by then, I will feed all of you to my Gu"

With this threat, the surrounding disciples ran away, off to capture anyone they had a grudge with. They didn't doubt their senior brother's cruelty but that didn't mean they would just turn up empty-handed if they didn't find the culprit.

Seeing everyone gone, Wang Ling's angry face lost its mask and turned outright demonic from anger.

"Shit, shit, shit, SHIT, SHIT, SHIIIT!!"

He kicked one of the nearby debris with such force that it instantly disappeared beyond the horizon.

"How did he manage to destroy the statues?! Who did this?!"

Before he could continue to rage, he felt an unbearable pain in his back and heard an emotionless voice.

"I can answer these questions"

I originally wanted to break into this guy's house but when I felt him rush here, I just decided to wait for him. He obviously knew about the things in the statues from somewhere but was never strong enough to get them.

The moment he was alone, I sneaked behind him and grabbed him by his spin, Omni-Man style.

"Who are you?"

He barely managed to squeeze out these three words which was pretty impressive, most wouldn't even be able to think clearly, not to mention speak as they were being lifted by the spine.

"Does it really matter? I'm something beyond names, even if I told you my name and didn't go insane from hearing it, it would mean nothing to you"

Wang Ling gritted his teeth in anger and pain so hard that they began to shatter before he found the determination to do something that caught me off guard.

He twisted his upper body until he managed to hold my wrist with both his hands. Instead of trying to make me let go, he seemed to have recognized our power gap and instead pushed himself off me with a loud and disturbing sound.

*Knack*

I looked stunned between the L2-L4 vertebrates in my hand and the literally spineless but somehow standing man in front of me.

Such decisive ruthlessness to oneself was rare, especially in demonic cultivators. He was using his qi to suppress the pain and remain standing, even if he had no feelings from the waist down. Even if I let him live, it was unlikely that he would recover from this and he would have to live with this pain for the rest of his life.

"You're right, I don't care who you are but you will regret messing with me"

He no longer had the same arrogance and will to fight in his eyes he did a few minutes ago, now all I could see in them was pain and defiance. He didn't even care about the treasures right now, at the moment all that mattered to him was to survive, revenge could come later.

I didn't try to stop him as he took out a golden talisman from his ring and disappeared in a golden flash.

Far away, on an entirely different continent, a golden flash appeared, revealing a panting young man bleeding profoundly from his lower back.

Some beasts smelled the blood and got excited thinking they found an easy meal, only to die before even getting a bite. Wang Ling absorbed the beasts to close off his injury but if he wanted to heal his spine, he would need a stronger beast, like a dragon or phoenix.

"Phew, finally safe"

After the pan and dread of death disappeared, the anger returned.

"Just you wait for my return, will make you regret ever touching me. I will return this humiliation a thousandfold and make you spit out everything you stole from me"

Before he could shatter his newly healed teeth in anger again, a familiar emotionless voice sounded in his head.

"Sounds fun. Where can I sign up for participation?"

Chapitre 218: Cultivation 19

"How?!"

He couldn't understand how someone could find and follow him to another continent so fast. This was a divine talisman, it didn't just transport someone across the whole planet, it also hid all traces, yet this guy didn't have the slightest problem with finding him.

"You and your silly questions. You're lucky I like you, otherwise, this wouldn't end with me robbing you"

Wang Ling just gritted his teeth hard enough to shatter them but he didn't make a sound.

"What, got nothing to say?"

"What do you want?"

"For starters, the Supreme Bones you dug out from a fellow child of destiny"

His eyes went wide before he decisively dug his hand into his chest and pulled out a golden bone that should not be inside that place according to my most recent study on anatomy.

"Swear that you will let me go" He held on to the bone and didn't let go. He knew my strength, why was he suddenly thinking I couldn't take a bone from him?

"Funny how you think you could make me promise you something. I'm already being rather kind by giving you a chance to hand over anything you have but if it comforts you, I will leave you alive… somewhat"

The wording made him worry but left with no other choice, he let go of the Supreme Bone.

"You know what's next. Give me your eyes"

With a pop, his two ruby-like eyes fell out of his socked into his hands. For a moment he was thinking about crushing them but he was sure that he would not just be somewhat alive.

"Just so you know, one day I will come for you and make you regret leaving me alive"

"Sure, sure, whatever you say. But I have to say, these Eyes of Seven Emotions and Six Desires are a good find. Good job. Now, the last thing"

The Eyes of Seven Emotions and Six Desires allowed their user to control the Seven Emotions and Six Desires of anyone they locked eyes with. The Seven Emotions weren't that interesting, they consisted of Happiness, Anger, Sadness, Fear, Love, Hatred, and Lust. The Six Desires were the desire to live, to feel, to see, to hear, to taste, and to smell.

These eyes could not only take away someone's senses, it could make them lose the will to live.

Wang Ling took out an old stone scripture and handed it to me.

"Not that you idiot, your brain"

"What!? You promised to let me live!"

"First off, I didn't promise you anything, and second off, it won't kill you. I already said I like you, I will just give you a chance to become something greater"

"But…" He still seemed hesitant, either because he didn't believe me that it wouldn't kill him or because digging your brain out was a few levels above digging out your bones and eyes.

"Fine, I will do it myself"

Before he could react, my hand went through his head and came out with his intact brain. He just stood there trying to comprehend what he was seeing. This was clearly his brain, he could feel his head being even lighter than usual but why wasn't he dead yet?

"Any moment now"

As if on cue, he fell to the ground and started screaming and convulsing in pain. His skin started turning grey, his empty sockets were filled with two lifeless black marbles, and all his wounds healed.

I watched with interest as my guinea pig underwent its first transformation. I simply injected him with a slightly more advanced zombie virus and his body reacted to way stronger than anticipated. I looked on with interest as the virus and the many dormant DNAs he absorbed from others using the Fiendgod Blood Refining method.

His body was changing at the moment. One second he had horns, the next he had eyes all over his body, this was a mad scientist's wet dream.

Watching his DNA and body evolve and mutate with each passing moment was oddly interesting, at some point I even started snacking on the brain in my hands.

After a few minutes, the blood coming out from his every pore turned black and the screaming stopped. The being formerly known as Wang Ling stood up and inspected its changes.

"yOu..." it tried to speak but only a disturbing sound came out.

"Yes, me! Now go my corrupted servant, eat your fill" I said proudly with outstretched arms.

The zombie looked at me for a moment before he sprinted away at a speed Wang Ling could never hope to compete with.

"…"

'Rude'

After turning into an Immortal Zombie, he was craving for brains, running from me was equal to saying I didn't have one even if it was technically correct.

There were already zombies in this reality but they were different from normal zombies. They didn't eat brains, didn't infect victims, and if they weren't just reanimated corpses they wouldn't even qualify as corpses.

This new variant of zombies I just created was leagues above them, I would even go as far as to say they are above some divine bloodline bearer and heavenly physiques. These immortal zombies had their own cultivation path, they grew stronger by eating brains.

Of course, if that was all then their creation would be a smudge on my brilliance. They weren't called immortal zombies just because they could cultivate, they were completely immortal, it's just that their regeneration was very weak in the early stages and they had to consume brains to speed it up.

Any victim whose brain they eat will also turn into a newborn zombie, creating a perfect circle. It was only a matter of time before the whole mortal realm was taken over by zombies.

But perhaps the most powerful weapon I gave them was neither of the above. Despite being brainless, the immortal zombies weren't dumb, I would even go as far as to say they were smarter than most Confucius after I gave them the average intelligence of a human and I don't mean the dumb-and-dumber Gen Z but the average intellect of humans across a word without internet.
