The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Upon reflecting on the situation, Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of resolve. This was a problem that many cultivators had faced before when they were sucked into Eight Extremes Palace—and the outcome had always been grim.

Some cultivators, overwhelmed by despair, would rush into the swarm of Corpse Demons, fighting until their strength was depleted and they fell to their deaths. Others tried to hide, gathering their strength and searching for a way out.

In the end, one cultivator, a skilled Array Master, had found a way: he attempted to build a teleportation array to leave the place. However, constructing such an array required an immense amount of rare materials, and even more so, a large quantity of spiritual stones to activate it.

The Array Master and his companions had exhausted all the materials they had, managing to build only half of the array. Later cultivators who discovered it tried their best to restore it but ultimately gave up.

That is, until Zhao Xuan and her sectmates from the Heavenly Martial Pavilion found the array. Among them was a Deity Transformation-stage Array Master, and with their combined efforts, the array was finally activated.

Unfortunately, the teleportation was highly random, with no guarantee of returning to the Southern Third Ring. There was a chance it could lead to one of the other three-ring regions. If they were unlucky, they might end up in a dangerous area, one so perilous that even Deity Transformation-stage cultivators would avoid it.

It would be like stepping out of a tiger's den only to fall into a wolf's lair. Nevertheless, it was still far better than remaining in Eight Extremes Palace, trapped in an endless battle against the Corpse Demons.

Of course, Zhao Xuan and the others never had the chance to use the array. They were betrayed by one of their own—Han Zhao—who wanted to claim the credit for himself. The teleportation array was destroyed by Han Zhao, and the hopes of escape were dashed.

Chu Xuan sighed deeply as he tucked away the Spiritual Sense Jade Slip. This revelation made it clear that his strategy needed to change. The primary objective was no longer to obtain the legacy, but to locate the teleportation array and restore it so that he could escape Eight Extremes Palace. Ancient ruins were scattered across the world, and there would be plenty of opportunities for cultivation elsewhere. He couldn't afford to remain trapped in this cursed place.

As for the materials needed to repair the teleportation array, Zhao Xuan had already mentioned them in the Spiritual Sense Jade Slip. To his surprise, Chu Xuan realized that he actually had all the necessary materials—and in abundance.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "My tendency to hoard things is getting worse," he muttered to himself. "Seeing something useful, I just want to stockpile it. But I suppose this isn't such a bad thing."

He chuckled to himself, "Aside from me, I doubt anyone else has the resources to rebuild the teleportation array in one go."

Before proceeding with anything else, Chu Xuan knew he had to secure the legacy of the Boiling Sea Hall—it was right in front of him, after all.

Once he set up all the necessary defensive measures, he retrieved one thousand Corpse Demon Pearls, following the same method he had used before. The moment the Pearls were placed, the statue of the Boiling Sea Hall erupted, sending a towering beam of light into the sky. The commotion was so intense that it quickly drew the attention of countless Corpse Demons.

As expected, it also attracted the attention of Moon True Master and his group.

The expression on Moon True Master's face immediately darkened. "Someone beat me to it again?" His voice was a low growl, his frustration palpable. He had thousands of Corpse Demon Pearls, but so far, he had only managed to obtain the Dragon Rock Hall's legacy. One by one, the legacies were being snatched away by others.

Stolen novel; please report.

"Who do I complain to?" Moon True Master muttered under his breath. His eyes fixed on the towering light pillar ahead.

"Speed up! We can't waste any more time!" he shouted. "That person still needs time to claim the legacy, we won't wait any longer!"

With a roar, he charged forward like a ferocious Mammoth Beast, his massive body plowing through the Corpse Demons, smashing them into pieces wherever he went.

His brutality was undeniable.

Zhong Tianshuo's voice rang out in protest, "But Bai Li and the others are surrounded by the Corpse Demons!"

Without so much as a glance, Moon True Master barked, "Forget them."

Zhong Tianshuo, Tie Jun, and the others sighed deeply, reluctant but having no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, Bai Li and the other three Refining Body Cultivators were screaming for help. "Master, save us! Save us!" But within the blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the swarm of violent Corpse Demons, their voices fading into silence.

...

"Hmm? Someone's coming?" Chu Xuan, who had been quietly waiting for the light pillar to subside, suddenly sensed cultivators approaching from behind.

Frowning, he turned to look, only to find several figures rushing toward him. At the front was none other than Moon True Master, followed by Zhong Tianshuo, Tie Jun, and the others.

As soon as Moon True Master saw Chu Xuan, his brow furrowed. "It's you, Liu Zhenxiong."

Chu Xuan gave a faint smile, "I'm honored that you remember my name,."

Moon True Master narrowed his eyes. "The fact that you're still alive means your strength must be formidable. I presume you are a Refining Body Cultivator as well, and your cultivation level is quite impressive."

His gaze shifted toward the towering beam of light. Calmly, he spoke, "I'm taking the legacy of the Boiling Sea Hall. If you step aside, I can guarantee that the Moon Society will offer you a position in the future."

The Moon Society was the most powerful faction in the Southern Third Ring, far surpassing Yellow Spring Island, Black Wind Island, and White Bone Island. To hold a position in the Moon Society, at the very least, one would be a Vice-President, a role many cultivators in the Southern Third Ring coveted but could never attain.

The conditions Moon True Master had just promised were enough to leave Zhong Tianshuo and Tie Jun dumbfounded. As for the cultivators who had been lurking in the shadows, observing from afar, their shock was equally profound.

The very idea that even a Deity Transformation cultivator would offer such terms only confirmed their growing reverence for Liu Zhenxiong. It was clear now: his cultivation level was undoubtedly formidable.

However, Chu Xuan only smiled in response. A position within the Moon Society? Such a title held no appeal for him.

Seeing the sudden smile on Chu Xuan's face, Moon True Master immediately understood that his offer had been rejected. With a dismissive flick of his hand, he ordered coldly, "Take him down."

"Understood!"

At his command, Zhong Tianshuo, Tie Jun, and two other cultivators charged forward without hesitation. But before they could close the distance, Hu, Long, Two Arms, and Four Arms emerged from concealed positions, instantly engaging the attackers in fierce combat.

Moon True Master's calm demeanor evaporated in an instant. He had never anticipated that Liu Zhenxiong would have not only Corpse Puppets but also Ghosts at his command!

It was one thing to practice the Corpse Puppet Path—after all, any cultivator with some ability in Starshatter Sea would have at least one or two Corpse Puppets under their control. Similarly, cultivating the Ghost Path was nothing unusual; ghosts didn't require the same sustenance as Corpse Puppets, making them more covert and deadly in their attacks.

But this Liu Zhenxiong had not only reached a high level of body-refining cultivation, he had also mastered both Corpse Puppets and Ghosts. How could he possibly have the time and resources to train so thoroughly in so many different paths? He had never encountered such a terrifying individual in his life.

Chu Xuan smiled faintly and spoke, "Let's see how we match up."

Moon True Master's face remained impassive, but his steps grew more deliberate as he advanced. In the next moment, his body exploded forward, surging with blood and vitality, his giant beast-like foot coming down in a crushing stomp!

He still underestimated Chu Xuan. To him, anyone who focused so much on the Corpse Puppet Path and Ghost Path couldn't possibly have reached a high cultivation level. Most likely, Chu Xuan had not surpassed body refining cultivation at the 40th level. And in Moon True Master's mind, anyone below the 40th level was like a chicken or dog—easily crushed.

After all, the body refining cultivation technique he had mastered was the true orthodox technique of the Eight Extremes Palace. How could the mere average techniques of other cultivators compare? With the same cultivation level, his physical body would be far more powerful, and his vitality would be far more robust!

This was the confidence that the Eight Extremes Palace's body refining techniques had given him.
