Chapter 464: Rebirth, Zombie Dragon!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Mo Dao's body shivered violently with fear, and a green bile flowed out of his mouth. He'd literally been scared to death!
"Suck!"
The young-looking man sat up and lightly sucked at the air in the direction of Mo Dao. Countless tiny vortexes appeared around him, and the light barrier around Mo Dao's body instantly shattered. Following that, his blood and flesh burst apart into red mist, only leaving a clean white skeleton.
"This King is back!"
The smile slowly disappeared from the man's mouth as he raised his head to the sky and roared!
"Boom!"
As though countless bombs had been set off at the same time, numerous explosions rang out a thousand zhang around the man!
"Ang!"
An inhuman roar burst out of the man's throat, and countless black scales emanating a frosty light appeared all over his body!
A set of sharp teeth, each one about five, six cm long, extended out of his mouth, and a set of wings burst out of his back as he soared to the sky!
The man's actions were all monitored by the state. The decimation of a 50-km-wide area was a scene that stunned the entire country. All the strongest surveillance setups were focused on this area!
The country's military strength was extremely powerful, so when the entire country's resources were focused on monitoring a single person, it was too easy.
Wang Wuyou was coined the Worriless King, and the moment he rushed out into the air, he immediately had a feeling as if he was being watched. However, he couldn't tell where the feeling came from.
The huge underground river had broken out from its river outlet, and the tall mountains in the 50 kilometers' area had disappeared. At the same time, a 50-kilometers-wide pit appeared in their place!
The deepest part of the pit reached over a thousand meters deep, and the place where the coffin was had become much closer to the ground. However, at the edge, the 50-km-wide pit was only a few meters deep.
Without an outlet, the underground river could only gush upwards, forming a 50 km wide giant lake!
"What do you all think?"
The 12 Kunlun Devils had gathered together after receiving the country's message.
"It should be a martial cultivator who'd cultivated a special skill. But the explosion that consumed everything within 50 kilometers should be a result of some other factors. Even the strongest Transcendent realm expert in recorded history would not be able to create such an attack!"
The 12 Kunlun Devils were all wrapped in black cloaks, and in the dark basement, it was hard to tell who spoke first.
"Send someone to initiate contact with him first. That person is definitely not ordinary, and the Qin Emperor Mausoleum isn't that easy to enter. It's better to have a strong helper with us; the arrival of this expert is a good thing for us," another person said.
"En. No matter what, the cultivation of that person should not be below ours. There still isn't any more news on him, which makes it hard for us to judge accurately. Even the few old Chinese monsters in hiding were persuaded by us to participate in the plan."
This new expert seemed to have jumped out of a rock 1 . Even if it was a hidden expert, it shouldn't be to a point where there wasn't any news at all.
The crowd fell silent as they looked at the captured image of the young man.
"Do you guys feel that something isn't quite right with this person?" Ling Xu suddenly said.
"Hm? Now that you mention it, there's indeed a strange vibe about him!"
"Exactly, we hadn't thought in this direction earlier, but it seems similar to something we have in the ancient records!"
"It's actually that madman! And he actually succeeded as well!"
The faces of four of the 12 Kunlun Devils instantly changed as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
"There's no mistake, that person definitely came from at least a thousand years ago!"
Ling Xu instantly felt a sense of heaviness on his chest. This matter was simply too big!
"How can this be possible? To live for such a long time, just how high is this person's cultivation?!"
The other eight Kunlun Devils hadn't reacted, completely clueless about what the rest were talking about.
"This person was already dead a long time ago! Only, he'd resurrected himself!"
Ling Xu could feel a sense of helplessness flood through his heart. This person had only appeared a few times before in the vast historical records that Mt Kunlun had collected. And each time his name appeared, the resulting damage had been heavy beyond compare!
It wasn't clear which era this person had come from, and there were only a few isolated words and sentences about him!
"When he was alive, he'd at least been at the Controlled Dan realm, and he was a royalty of an undetermined era of emperors with a trace of dragon aura! That was also why he had been able to attract the Emperor Star's projection. And look, over here, do you see the scales and the wings on his back? Doesn't it make you think of something?"
Ling Xu felt a shiver run down his spine. A person like that was a real vicious person. Not only was he vicious to others, he was vicious to himself as well!
The price for resurrecting oneself was so huge that even Ling Xu could not imagine it!
This method of resurrection required one to reach the Controlled Dan realm before 30. Furthermore, the person needed to be a direct descendant within three generations of the first emperor. The other conditions included finding a land where a dragon's vein and a Yin vein coexisted, the blood essence of hundreds of thousand to tens of millions of cultivators, as well as a divine weapon to act as the suppresor of the formation,
The conditions were harsh to an extreme level. On top of that, such an act went against the balance of the heavens. Very few people dared to risk commiting an act that would cause them to be vilified by both the people and the heavens!
Not mentioning the other conditions, just the part about the tens of millions of cultivators... even if they were all the lowest level cultivators, it was an absolutely terrifying number—even during the era where the martial world was flourishing!
Basically no one would do such a thing, as once such an act was commited, the entire martial world would regress greatly!
But of course, if such harsh conditions were successfully fulfilled, the profits would be equivalently amazing.
One would be able to transform into a Zombie Dragon, and would no longer be confined to the three realms. Although they would die, with every increase in cultivation realm, they would receive a lifespan over 10 times more than normal!
Take the Controlled Dan realm for example. For a normal person, their lifespan would be roughly 400 years. But for a resurrected person, it would be at least 10 times that amount, meaning that they would reach a shocking 4,000 years lifespan!
If the resurrected person's comprehension abilities were counted as one point, it would increase to two points at the very least. Even reaching four points was not impossible!
Furthermore, the resurrected body did not have specific weaknesses like other zombies that had a fear of light, garlic, and such stuff 2
...Unless it was against an opponent with overpowering strength—only then could it be killed!
Otherwise, its incredible hyper-regeneration abilities would cause one to doubt their very lives and despair!
Ling Xu furrowed his brows seriously. All these things were recorded in Mt Kunlun as top-secret information.
The group fell silent as they regarded the picture before them. A vicious person like that was truly too terrifying!
Even more crucial was that this person's cultivation was last recorded at the Controlled Dan realm countless years ago. So many years had passed—even if 99 percent of the accumulated energy had been used to resurrect himself, the remaining bit of energy was still enough to increase his cultivation massively!
"I feel that we can still try to contact that person. No matter how powerful he is now, he can't possibly break through space with his body and leave, right? The Heaven Earth Lingqi is declining too rapidly, and even we are having an extremely hard time enduring the suppresion, It must be even worse for that person!"
"That person is also different from those brainless zombies. His mind should be clear, and should naturally understand how to choose."
The group discussed heatedly.
"Herein lies the problem. Whom shall we send to speak to this person? You guys? Or me..."
Nobody could see Ling Xu's expression under the black robes. As his half joking voice rang out, everyone immediately stopped talking.
What kind of joke was this, no one would be willing to approach a vicious character like that. Although the person should be clear-minded in theory, who knew whether his head was still working fine after sleeping for so many years? If they ended up being slapped to death in one smack without them being able to say anything, they wouldn't be able to cry even if they wanted to!
Everyone was calculative, and no one was willing to be the bird that stuck its head out.
There was a good saying about how the early bird got the worm. But the early worm also got eaten by the bird!
"This matter happened at the Qingcheng area. In that case, we should let the people in that area handle it," someone said hesitatingly.
"Right, isn't that place Bei Feng's territory? Bei Feng's strength isn't weak as well, and the experts under him are as common as clouds. This should be something he can handle!" another person added immediately.
"Leader!"
Everyone looked towards Ling Xu as they came to an agreement. It was better to sacrifice someone else than to sacrifice their own.
"I'll go and ask him about what he thinks about it."
Ling Xu's words were basically agreeing with the rest.
But he still had to explain the matter properly to Bei Feng. The main thing was that he felt like he could no longer see through this young man. Although the latter was strong, he did not place within the top 10 experts list. However, Ling Xu knew that with the strength Bei Feng possessed, he definitely had the qualifications to squeeze a person out of that list!
A light shone in the underground room, and Bei Feng's figure appeared in a blurry white mist, looking around puzzledly.
"What's the matter?"
Bei Feng's calm voice rang out as he wiped his brows carelessly with a towel.
Ling Xu and the rest gasped internally with shock when they saw his figure; just what kind of training was able to reduce a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert powerhouse to such a haggard state!
That was right, haggard! Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts had great control over their own bodies, and things like perspiration would not appear unless their energy was completely sapped. But even then, it would not be to such an exaggerated extent as Bei Feng's appearance!
Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts could control thei pores and open or close it at will. It was simply too easy if they didn't want to sweat.
Ling Xu looked at Bei Feng and said, "It's like this, you should know about the incident that happened in Qingcheng today, right? We wish to ask you to approach that person and draw him to our side in hopes that he can be a huge aid in our plan to enter the Qin Emperor Mausoleum."
Bei Feng fell silent for a short moment after hearing Ling Xu's words. A moment later, he smiled creepily until his eyes were narrowed into mere slits. "I'd like to know who gave this suggestion."
"This mission is dangerous; you may choose not to go as well," Ling Xu stated directly.
"I'll let it go this time. If there's a next time, I'll kill directly. Asking me to approach a zombie that nobody knows if it's still a human... I don't have that great an amount of guts. Let me warn you guys, that fellow is not something we can contend against."
Bei Feng's meaning was simple. Since Ling Xu was willing to tell him the truth so directly, he was willing to give the latter some face and spare the person who suggested pushing him into the line of fire. But if there was a next time, he would directly tear off all pretenses and burn the bridges.
After he finished speaking, Bei Feng did not bother about what the crowd thought as his projection directly disappeared.
After turning off the projection, a frosty smile appeared on Bei Feng's darkening face. If he didn't know better, he might've really stupidly gone and offered himself up to the the zombie.
"How dare he!"
"He's too audacious!"
"He's just a young junior, but he actually has no respect for anyone at all!"
The three who initiated the plan to use Bei Feng immediately exploded in rage as soon as Bei Feng's image disappeared.
