The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Chapter 202: The Power of Three Layers of Merit Wheel!

"Two Arms, Four Arms, step back," Chu Xuan said calmly.

"Father…" Two Arms exclaimed in shock.

"Woof?" Four Arms appeared confused.

Chu Xuan waved his hand, "Step back."

Two Arms and Four Arms then moved aside.

Chu Xuan stood with his chest open, his brow completely exposed. The Sin Karma Saber could now pierce through his forehead without any hindrance!

At this moment, Yun Zhongyu's complexion was ashen. He even felt as though the world around him was rejecting his presence. Seeing Chu Xuan letting the twin Ghost Kings step aside, calmly facing the incoming Sin Karma Saber, his expression turned to one of bafflement.

The fate of the Ghost Kings was tied to this man. Should he die, the Ghost Kings would also perish. Could this man be so compassionate as to not want the Ghost Kings to suffer in his stead?

Impossible…What was amiss here?

Nearby, Wei Ji, Shangguan Hao, and other cultivators who witnessed this scene were also filled with shock and confusion.

"What the…?"

Could it be that this man thought he was doomed and thus chose to face his death with composure?

Wan Wuying also witnessed this scene, merely sighing lightly.

When you provoke someone you shouldn't have, this is the consequence… My good junior brother, when I step onto the Nascent Soul path, I will place a flower on your grave in the future.

Just as everyone thought Chu Xuan was certainly doomed—Three layers of merit wheels suddenly appeared behind Chu Xuan's head!

They spun continuously, resembling blooming lotuses. Fragrances filled the air! Golden flowers fell chaotically! Heavenly chants resonated! All divine beasts roared in unison!

He appeared both divine and saintly!

All sorts of miraculous visions surrounded Chu Xuan, appearing and vanishing intermittently, making him seem like a banished immortal stepping down to earth!

People's eyes were wide with disbelief. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing.

Ding!

The Sin Karma Saber hadn't even touched Chu Xuan yet. Its fierce karmic flames were swiftly extinguished under the illumination of the merit wheels, quickly turning into an ordinary little dagger. It clattered to the ground with a tap.

Yun Zhongyu's face, which had just regained a bit of color, instantly drained of all blood. His strongest move, borne from reversing his merit, was this?

"One, two, three… three layers of merit wheels…"

Shangguan Hao tremulously extended three fingers, afraid of counting wrong. He counted his fingers again earnestly. Only then was he certain. It was indeed three layers of merit wheels.

Mother, have you seen this... I've never seen a triple-layer merit wheel in my life

Wei Ji was utterly shocked, almost feeling the urge to speak to his long-deceased mother about what he was witnessing.

Wan Wuying had almost turned to leave when a glimpse of the cascading golden light from the corner of his eye nearly made his eyes pop out. Such formidable merit could not possibly belong to his junior brother. It seemed he had been mistaken...

Chu Xuan looked down at Yun Zhongyu, whose face had turned deathly pale as if he was a sovereign gazing down upon him.

"Your life, I'll take it now."

Two Arms and Four Arms rushed forward suddenly.

With a snap, they directly extracted Yun Zhongyu's Nascent Soul from his body. His physical body and storage bag naturally went where they belonged.

Chu Xuan looked around and saw that most of the cultivators were staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Without saying much, Chu Xuan retracted his merit wheels and ran. He had noticed that a group of Nether Crocodiles in the distance seemed to have caught a whiff of something enticing and were accelerating their pace toward him. Among them were some unusually large Nether Crocodiles.

The reason was unclear.

"Holy crap! So many Nether Crocodiles! Run!"

"My god, look at those flying in the sky, those are Dark Falcons!"

"There weren't this many Nether Crocodiles just now!"

"Look over there, there are more ancient beasts, looks like different species!"

The cultivators looked at the approaching swarm of ancient beasts like a tidal wave, their scalps tingling.

Usually, only Nether Crocodiles roamed outside. How come now even more terrifying Dark Falcons and Dark Devouring Moths had appeared? These ancient beasts were not known to show up before!

The cultivators stopped fighting and ran madly toward the Righteous Dao City. The treasures within the Deity Transformation cave were enticing. But one had to be alive to claim them! Right now, the swarm of ancient beasts was the most terrifying foe.

Screams echoed through the night. The cultivators looked back and saw nothing. They could only see points of cold light under the moonlight. Those were the tough shells of Nether Crocodiles and other ancient beasts.

In another direction, the booming sound of Chu Xuan using Yin Thunder Seeds to blast open a path was relentless. No matter how many Nether Crocodiles there were, they feared explosions!

Chu Xuan had roughly guessed that perhaps the Yin Thunder Seeds harbored the ability to wound the spirit, which was why they could kill Nether Crocodiles. If they only damaged the body, they wouldn't be very effective against Nether Crocodiles.

Chu Xuan naturally wouldn't return to the Righteous Dao City. He had slain Yun Zhongyu in full view of everyone. The Reincarnation Divine Sect would certainly investigate this matter thoroughly. Going to the city would be like walking into a trap.

For now, he only needed to break out of the encirclement of Nether Crocodiles, find a cave, and then directly return to Blue Star.

As Chu Xuan fought, he began to sense something amiss. Not only were the ground-crawling Nether Crocodiles appearing in front of him, but also the sky-soaring Dark Falcons, and even the tiny, unforeseeable Dark Devouring Moths!

These latter two types of ancient beasts had not been seen in perilous battlefields for a long time. Why had they suddenly appeared today?

"It seems that after I displayed the three layers of merit wheels, these ancient beasts went mad and accelerated toward me," Chu Xuan pondered. "Could it be that they are attracted to merit, wanting to devour creatures imbued with it?"

Chu Xuan shook his head repeatedly. The origins of the ancient beasts in the extraterritorial battlefields were unknown. They harbored too many secrets. Unable to figure out the answer, he decided it was best not to dwell on it.

Looking ahead at the swarming mass of Nether Crocodiles, Chu Xuan decisively threw out ten thousand Yin Thunder Seeds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A large number of Nether Crocodiles were annihilated. By the time they regrouped and surged forward again, the figure that had stood there had vanished as if evaporated from the face of the earth.

...

Blue Star.

Several days later.

Chu Xuan lay on a plush velvet lounge chair, completely relaxing his body and mind. Fighting was too exhausting. This kind of life suited him better.

"I, Chu Xuan, have never liked fighting and killing," he mused, having rested for several days.

Eventually, Chu Xuan began to examine the spoils of his recent battles. In his hand, he held an ordinary-looking small dagger. This was Yun Zhongyu's Sin Karma Saber, a high-grade offensive magic treasure.

Typically, magic treasures were used by Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, with Golden Core cultivators using low to mid-grade magic treasures, and Nascent Soul cultivators using high to top-grade ones.

Although the Sin Karma Saber was just a high-grade offensive magic treasure, its ability to reverse merit and ignite boundless karmic flames allowed it to compete with top-grade offensive magic treasures!

Yun Zhongyu had relied on this dagger to defeat many cultivators of the same realm, which had led to his continuous fortunate encounters and rapid rise.

"However, I didn't expect that these two seemingly ordinary pieces of jade actually contain acquired spiritual bodies," Chu Xuan mused, his thoughts manifesting two irregular pieces of jade in his palm. The twisted lines within the jade were the manifestations of the acquired spiritual bodies.

Had it not been for the records in Yun Zhongyu's storage bag about these extraordinary jades, Chu Xuan might have mistaken them for ordinary stones and left them gathering dust in a corner of his storage bag.

"Let's see what kind of acquired spiritual body you can grant me!" Chu Xuan said, curiosity coloring his tone.
