Chapter 408: Chapter 234: New Demon Technique

[Demon Points +21]

[Demon Points +15]

...

This single wave netted him over fifty thousand Demon Points!

Of course, he wasn’t about to let the five remaining Tier-3 Undead get away.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Three hundred and sixty rays of light shot back and forth, circling and swooping. They dove into the void and reemerged, heading straight for the five hiding Tier-3 Undead.

SHLICK! SHLICK! SHLICK!

The crisscrossing rays of light pierced through four of the Tier-3 Undead, riddling their bodies with holes.

He used Spirit Capturing, reaping another large sum.

The last Tier-3 Undead realized what was happening and, with a decisive POOF, turned into a black mist and dissipated without a trace.

’Void Escape?’

’Instant Teleportation?’

Gu Zheng focused his senses and quickly locked onto the rapidly moving Tier-3 Undead.

The creature, in its black mist form, was making spatial jumps, fleeing northward at extreme speed.

Gu Zheng didn’t attack. He let it run, following close behind.

’There’s probably more than one Undead Race stronghold.’

The fleeing Tier-3 Undead was the perfect guide!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

And so, the terrified Tier-3 Undead fled for its life up ahead.

Gu Zheng recalled his three hundred and sixty blades and, still invisible, followed at a leisurely pace.

He crossed hills, traversed swamps, swept over wastelands, and entered a mountain range.

The Tier-3 Undead fled without stopping, heading deep into the mountains until it set foot in the Black Stone District—an area made up of a dozen towering, pitch-black peaks.

This area was devoid of vegetation. The ground was nothing but rocks.

Caves of all sizes dotted the slopes of the dozen or so tightly clustered mountains.

The mountains were riddled with caves, from the base all the way to the summit.

The air was filled with dense clusters of cold Yin Qi. Strangely enough, this Yin Qi was also rich with wisps of Vitality.

However, this Vitality was being absorbed by the Undead as they moved about, turning it into their own sustenance.

The reason no vegetation grew here was that the Undead Race had already snatched up all the Vitality for themselves!

WHOOSH~

The fleeing Tier-3 Undead charged into the Black Stone District, alerting the guards. Word quickly passed up the chain of command.

Amid the commotion, Gu Zheng, still invisible, slipped into the Black Stone District.

His Five Orifice Divine Techniques activated at full power, gathering all information from his surroundings.

Sounds, auras, energy signatures...

A distribution map rapidly formed in his mind, pinpointing the exact location of every Undead in the caves.

By the time Gu Zheng reached the center of the Black Stone District, he had mapped the locations of ninety-nine percent of the Undead in the entire area.

BUZZZZ~

His three hundred and sixty blades materialized, crackling as the Power of Silent Extinction surged into them.

To the utter shock and horror of the few nearby Undead, Gu Zheng unleashed Ten Thousand Blades Heaven Slaughter once more.

SWOOSH—!

SHLICK~ SHLICK~ SHLICK~

"SQUELCH!" "SQUELCH!" "SQUELCH!"

In a single instant, a cacophony of strange noises—shattering, slicing, and explosions—erupted and echoed throughout the mountains.

Three hundred and sixty blades became three hundred and sixty rays of light.

They crisscrossed through the air, shattering the void as they flew, ignoring the physical barriers of the mountains and ground to slaughter one Undead after another.

Spirit Capturing! Spirit Capturing!

Gu Zheng harvested wave after wave of Demon Points from a distance.

For caves that were too far away, he simply moved closer while continuing to unleash Ten Thousand Blades Heaven Slaughter.

The three hundred and sixty blades swooped and crisscrossed, visiting every single cave to annihilate the Undead within.

Thankfully, he had enough Power of Silent Extinction.

Infusing the blades allowed them to strike hundreds of times in succession.

Otherwise, even though Gu Zheng had mastered Shattering Void Sword Intent, he wouldn’t have been able to slaughter the Undead with such effortless ease, as if he were merely crushing ants.

The number of Undead living in the Black Stone District far surpassed that of the previous stronghold.

There were over one hundred thousand of them!

Unleashing Ten Thousand Blades Heaven Slaughter again and again, Gu Zheng used his Five Orifice Divine Techniques to lock onto each Undead. In the span of a single breath, he slew twenty thousand. In the next, another thirty thousand. And in the breath after that, twenty thousand more.

After the slaughter came Spirit Capturing, Spirit Capturing, and more Spirit Capturing!

He moved quickly, continuously reaping Demon Points.

Just as a colossal roar echoed from the distance and the earth began to tremble, five tyrannical auras shot toward him at extreme speed. By then, Gu Zheng had already slain ninety-nine percent of the Undead, harvesting a total of over one hundred sixty-four thousand Demon Points!

This was an incredible haul.

From the two locations and several harvests, his total Demon Points now exceeded 220,000. Combined with what he’d earned before entering the passage, his accumulated Demon Points had reached 230,000!

In one fell swoop, he had gathered nearly half the energy required to break through to the third stage of his King’s Body.

At the same time, Gu Zheng acquired another Demon Technique.

Yin Reaches Yang.

This Demon Technique was exceptionally profound. It involved the principles of yin and yang, life and death, and allowed for conversion between them.

Of course, its primary function was to gather Death Qi and convert it into Vitality.

To put it simply, it was "Life Manipulation"!

The Undead Race was characterized by being born from Yin Qi and being exceptionally difficult to kill.

Yin Reaches Yang...

"Not bad."

Gu Zheng recalled the blades that had been crisscrossing and tearing through the void.

He brought out his Heaven-piercing Halberd and infused it with the Power of Silent Extinction.

BOOM! BOOM!

The air cracked and the void twisted.

Five tyrannical auras descended, surrounding Gu Zheng from above.

Two were Tier-4, and three were at the peak of Tier-3.

The five strongest of the Undead!

"I see you. Show yourself..."

SHLICK!

Gu Zheng vanished. Wielding his Heaven-piercing Halberd, he slashed at the nearest peak Tier-3 Undead. The creature had only just sensed him when, with a SQUELCH, it was cleaved in two.

Under the effects of the Power of Silent Extinction, its regeneration was completely suppressed. It fell to the ground, still alive, struggling in agony and letting out guttural hisses.

SWOOSH~ SWOOSH!

Gu Zheng’s figure flickered as he charged the other two peak Tier-3 Undead. One of them reacted but couldn’t dodge in time and was also cleaved in two by the halberd.

The last one, realizing it couldn’t dodge, fiercely swung a metal club that radiated a sinister aura. The move was both an interception and an attack.

Unfortunately...

"CLANG~"

"CRACK!"

The metal club snapped on impact. The peak Tier-3 Undead was cleaved in two from head to toe, and the Power of Silent Extinction ate away at the wound, preventing it from regenerating. It crashed to the ground, screaming endlessly.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH~

The two Tier-4 Undead Race Great Monarchs jolted to their senses and lunged at Gu Zheng, roaring in fury.

"DIE!!"

"YOU’LL DIE~!"

BOOM~ BOOM!

In an instant, massive clouds of black mist and surging green light blotted out the sky, sweeping in to envelop Gu Zheng.

BUZZ~ BUZZ~

Gu Zheng unleashed his domains: Hurricane, Liaoyuan, Giant Wood, Water Dominating Water...

All seven of his Domains manifested!

Instantly, the Domain Power of the Five Elements howled, circling and shredding the black mist. The Wind Thunder Domain crisscrossed and coiled around the green light, discharging crackling bolts of electricity. A world-ending aura swept out for miles in every direction.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Rolling thunder echoed in every direction.

With his Domains at full power, the might was cataclysmic. Space churned like a boiling river, and the resulting shockwaves obliterated the nearby black peaks. The mountains shattered on contact, sending countless shards of rock flying through the air.

The two Tier-4 Undead Race Great Monarchs were caught completely off guard.

They discovered to their horror that even by joining forces, they were no match for Gu Zheng!

This was especially true of the Power of Silent Extinction that Gu Zheng wielded. They didn’t dare touch it, avoiding it whenever possible and not even thinking of blocking it head-on.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM~!

A continuous, muffled roar filled the space between heaven and earth.

As their power surged wildly, the two Tier-4 Undead Race Great Monarchs communicated telepathically.

"We’re no match for him. Let’s split up and run."

"No, lead him to that place!"

"Which place? Wait, you mean..."

"That’s the one!"

"...Alright!"

WHOOSH-BOOM~

WHOOSH! WHOOSH~!

Space twisted and the hurricane shrieked, letting out a terrifying roar.

Ninety percent of the mountain peaks where the Undead had lived were utterly destroyed, leaving the air in a state of chaos.

The black mist and green light surged and flickered. Suddenly, they converged, releasing a terrifying beam of white light that tore open the encirclement of the Five Elements Domain and blasted a corridor through the void.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The two Tier-4 Undead Race Great Monarchs teleported into the corridor and shot northward at extreme speed.

’Trying to escape?’
