Chapter 397: Chapter 328: Immortal Corpse in the Ruins, Enormous Gains

Fallen Immortal Mountain, towering into the clouds, with grandeur in all its forms.

Every few hundred years, flashes of thunder can occasionally be seen, immortal shadows floating, leading to legends that the Ancient Celestial Court fell here, hence the name Fallen Immortal.

Everyone knows there’s treasure here, but its notorious reputation instills terror, gradually becoming the foremost Forbidden Land in the Divine Continent, and no one dares to approach.

Except for Zhang Kui and Tai Shi, no one knows that the mountain hides a starship from the Ancient Infinite Immortal Dynasty that suppresses fate, and due to the spatial protection of the starship resulting in anomalies, the Fallen Immortal Mountain is wrapped in innumerably fractured spaces, hence sealed for millennia.

However, within the mountain, the immortal ship is currently far from peaceful.

Boom!

With a violent roar, Zhang Kui swiftly flew back, simultaneously drawing out "Breaking Sun" with a clang, glaring coldly ahead.

Dozens of bizarre immortal corpses appeared, some with demon heads and human bodies, others with three heads and six arms. Though different in form, all were emaciated, with ghost flames flickering in their eye sockets, their sinister aura wildly spreading.

As the fragments of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal and Ancient Bronze Mirror on the ground continuously decreased, those bizarre immortal corpses were inevitably disturbed.

Zombie transformations of immortal corpses are extraordinary. These entities perceived his presence and instantly shattered the ground, forcing Zhang Kui out.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Accompanied by peculiar sounds, dozens of curses simultaneously enveloped, and the ground around Zhang Kui rapidly decayed, producing black mold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time it was no illusion; the compounded curses were too powerful, affecting the surroundings. Even the greatly enhanced Divine Protection Skill was struggling to withstand it. Zhang Kui spat out a mouthful of black blood and hurriedly retreated, the Eyes of Eternal Life on his forehead filled with blood as it throbbed painfully.

Meanwhile, those bizarre immortal corpses flickered, instantly appearing around Zhang Kui, with claws covered in black scales fiercely striking.

"Die!"

Suppressing the frustration in his chest, Zhang Kui roared, the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" slashed through with crackling Purple Extreme Light, sword light radiating as if it could tear through the very space.

One by one, black arms fell, some immortal corpses even split in two, yet they still sprang forward to attack him with eerie persistence.

Boom!

The ground around was torn apart by the sword light of "Breaking Sun".

The spot where Zhang Kui stood was also shattered by the immortal corpses, debris flying.

Yet he had already instantaneously moved high above, the Eyes of Eternal Life on his forehead emitting Silent Extinction Black Light, while he formed spells with his hands, spitting out Yin Yang True Fire.

The black light was serene and deep, the silver fire dazzling, spreading a terrifying killing intent across the area. Those bizarre immortal corpses were segmented and burned, gradually falling still.

Zhang Kui let out a sigh of relief, landing on the ground with a thud, gulping down a Spirit Pill, and then sat cross-legged in meditation.

He realized these immortal corpses were indeed troublesome, despite the destruction of their inner Little Worlds and enduring millennia of decay, the lingering domain combined with resentment transformed into terrifying curses. Coupled with their powerful and abnormal bodies, they were very difficult to deal with.

It was only because he carried heavy treasures and had the Earth Demon Skill for protection that he barely coped; for an ordinary Mahayana Realm, they would have been slaughtered in mere breaths. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Of course, there was another point: the underground Immortal Array here was utterly destroyed, allowing him to unleash freely, though he still dared not use the overly conspicuous Sun Exposure Skill.

After a while, Zhang Kui spat out several mouthfuls of black blood, his complexion finally turning rosy.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The black blood on the ground corroded the bluestone slabs like strong acid.

Zhang Kui’s scalp tingled as he witnessed this, realizing that the transformations of the domain curse were truly formidable. Even the Divine Protection Skill couldn’t fully block it; his five viscera, enhanced after the Great Success of Swallowing Knife Skill, were riddled with holes, slowly repairing under the effect of the Fragmentation Skill.

The expansive courtyard was now in ruins, the nearby area already cleared, while in the distance, two Ancient Bronze Mirrors had shattered palaces and piled up as rubble.

Zhang Kui noticed the immortal corpses within were beginning to squirm.

"Can’t tackle this head-on..."

Zhang Kui stared ahead with determination, deciding to set up an array to trap the enemy, then lure them out one by one. In such a crisis-ridden and ghostly place, if he got injured as he did earlier, there might not be enough time to recover.

Thinking this, Zhang Kui immediately sprang into action, dropping fragments of Cave Heaven Divine Crystals to the ground. As mana infused them, a five-colored spiritual mist gradually rose.

Using Cave Heaven Divine Crystals for array formation was truly extravagant.

Unlike the transmission arrays on the starship, without refining them into array formation spiritual artifacts, these Cave Heaven Divine Crystals would be drained of potential until the array broke.

But Zhang Kui could no longer afford to care, with the You Dynasty rampaging, five avatars of the Evil God wreaking havoc, and reincarnation being parasitized; only becoming an immortal could potentially resolve all this.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As the array gradually formed, the spatial vibrations grew stronger, yet in the end, it vanished along with the five-colored mist, as if nothing were there.

"Void Storage Array..."

Zhang Kui himself was somewhat taken aback.

The array was certainly still there, merely hidden in the void.

Mundane arrays, no matter how powerful, show traces; perhaps the power of the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal allowed him to achieve this legendary scene of an Immortal Array.

"Now we’re secure!"

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, rushing forward, frantically using the Transportation Skill, and seeing the fragments of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal and Ancient Bronze Mirrors atop the rubble disappear one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Crack, rumble...

Deprived of support, the entire mountain of rubble collapsed instantly.

Roar!

The dozen or so celestial corpses buried within simultaneously awoke, their eyes flashing with ghostly fire, shattering the stones on their bodies, and darted towards him.

Zhang Kui was not flustered this time, instantly teleporting outside the array, chuckling as he vanished from sight.

Swish, swish, swish!

One after another, vicious black silhouettes followed him in.

However, as the space shifted, the surrounding scenery changed as well.

Some celestial corpses fell into an endless sea of fire, some found themselves atop icy mountains, and others got trapped in flowing sands...

Without thought, they acted purely on instinct, getting confused or simply remaining in place.

This was the strength of the Void Storage Array, where the array formed its own space, invisible and intangible, without leaking any power.

Of course, it was still far from a true Immortal Array, as ordinary fire and water couldn’t truly harm these celestial corpses.

But all Zhang Kui needed was to trap the enemy. His eyes turned cold as he wielded the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun," traversing the array, cutting the celestial corpses into pieces before their formidable curse powers could manifest.

In no time, these ferocious celestial corpses were all slain. Zhang Kui flashed out of the Five Elements Sealing Demon Array, laughed heartily, and rushed towards the ruins.

This time, with no celestial corpses intervening, Zhang Kui even summoned the Treasure Toad to assist, his heart brimming with happiness.

"One petal, two petals..."

In his personal space and the belly of the Treasure Toad, two types of divine materials continued to accumulate, and Zhang Kui calculated in his mind.

Based on the estimated needs for refining the Earth Evil Silver Lotus for the first time, just clearing out this ruin could yield over twenty petals, a far faster process than he anticipated, though lacking sufficient fragments of the Ancient Bronze Mirror.

Fallen Immortal Mountain, indeed his destined place of enlightenment.

After clearing the ground, Zhang Kui’s eyes narrowed slightly. With a wave of his hand, loose stones and debris swept away like a storm, revealing the deck made of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal, still marked with several large holes.

Now that the array here had been destroyed, why not seize the chance to plunder to his heart’s content?

If he could pry up this vast divine crystal deck, it would be enough to refine the Earth Evil Silver Lotus, with a little surplus left, only needing to supplement it with the same amount of Ancient Bronze Mirror fragments.

And as for the mirror fragments, there was already a lead — the few mountain-like fragments of the Ancient Bronze Mirror outside the square that had smashed the deck. They seemed similar to the Evil God altar, though how they functioned remained unclear.

While he had an idea, Zhang Kui didn’t rush to act. Instead, he came to the edge of the hole, using the Tongyou Skill to peer below, knowing that the Immortal Ship Array was terrifying and not to be inadvertently triggered.

As the Tai Chi Diagram spun in his eyes, the situation below unfolded before him, causing his scalp to tingle.

What he thought were just corridors turned out to be a vast chamber, the walls made of Cave Heaven Divine Crystal with seven-colored lights swirling around, filled inside with countless disorderly corpses.

Even in death, they lay evenly, like an army in formation that had simultaneously been struck down.

"Oh, something’s not right..."

Zhang Kui quickly noticed something unusual.

The celestial corpses outside, having weathered millennia, had long become emaciated, their muscles dry like charred rubber clinging to bone.

But these corpses below were muscular and robust, as if they had just died. Could it be like the Evil God Crystal Stone Divine Hall, preserving bodies?

Upon closer inspection, he found another discovery.

Each person stood five meters tall, donned in bronze armor, with slightly yellowed faces that looked exactly the same...

A thought dawned on Zhang Kui, and he couldn’t help but swallow hard, muttering, "This is a fortune."

With this in mind, he immediately used the Transportation Skill to grab a corpse suddenly.

Boom!

The corpse appeared out of thin air, falling onto the deck with a metallic clang, its rigid body as immovable as a statue.

Indeed, this wasn’t a living person but a puppet!

Zhang Kui restrained his excitement, using the Tongyou Skill for a detailed observation.

During the Qian Dynasty, the Astronomical Bureau also had three demon god puppets refined by the Square Immortal Road of Great Zhou. Those were made from the bodies of three Divine Travel Realm demons and were quite powerful.

But compared to this, it was as different as heaven and earth.

He didn’t know what methods were used for this puppet, but they had somehow refined the metal divine materials to resemble flesh and muscle, with countless fine arrays intricately layered inside, linking with the bronze armor on the surface.

Zhang Kui barely recognized one of the array’s capabilities, roughly some sort of defensive measure, and beneath the chest, wrapped in intricate array layers, was indeed the Immortal Slave Silver Ball.

This was a genuine Immortal Slave integrated body!

But to Zhang Kui’s disappointment, it seemed a force had instantly destroyed it from within, turning all the array circuits made with Cave Heaven Divine Crystal into powder.

On second thought, this was also good news. If those had been operational, he probably couldn’t have approached them.

Moreover, with a physical reference, replicating it in the future wasn’t impossible. More importantly, inside these countless puppets were the Immortal Slave Silver Balls, which were the crucial component missing from the Divine Dynasty Starship project!

Thinking of this, Zhang Kui moved quickly. He carefully pried up the deck and stored it, then left a few puppets as references, dismantling the rest with the Immortal Sword "Breaking Sun" to extract the Immortal Slave Silver Balls.

Below was just a compartment. Although the array on the crystal walls remained operational and couldn’t be destroyed, there were over a thousand puppets in a single cabin.

Zhang Kui diligently used the Tongyou Skill, focusing on the task, fearful of damaging the Immortal Slave Silver Balls with the Immortal Sword.

What he didn’t notice was that a peculiar Immortal Artifact white mist had crossed the wall at some unknown time, and the bizarre celestial corpse bared fangs in a silent roar, with an unexpected glint of anger in its eyes, waving its bare, broken arm to ward off the white mist...
