Chapter 118: Too Many Souls, Overflowing
Chapter 118: Too Many Souls, Overflowing
Chu Xuan suddenly remembered. When he had entered the lowest level of the underground base, an odd sonic wave had swept past. To ordinary people, it was an inaudible ultrasonic wave.
But for Chu Xuan, a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, it was within the range of perceivable sounds. It was just a sound, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But now he understood. That sound was the City Lord's final killer move. It could attract all the zombies and supernatural creatures in the vicinity!
There's a saying: ants can kill an elephant.
In the City Lord's estimation, even if Chu Xuan was an incredibly powerful Superhuman, if there were enough zombies and supernatural creatures, they could overwhelm him to death!
Chu Xuan displayed a bizarre smile. How many large blood pearls could this sprawling tide of corpses produce? The Myriad Souls Banner would probably be filled to the brim, right?
Furthermore, the City Lord had unintentionally given him a great gift. That was the ultrasonic wave attracting the zombies!
From now on, he no longer needed to go searching for zombies. Just spread the sound, and a large number of zombies would come knocking at his door. This was simply… fantastic!
"Very good, very good, coming to Science City was indeed the right decision!"
Chu Xuan laughed so hard he could hardly contain himself.Roar roar roar!
The three corpses of Long, Hu, and Bao had completed their mission and returned to Chu Xuan's side.
A large number of soldier bees and worker bees had also returned to the Hive, waiting for Chu Xuan's next command.
Chu Xuan stood on high ground, overlooking the corpse tide rushing from afar. He immediately pressed a spirit stone into the array plate. The Earth Evil Demon Sealing Array rippled and was now activated.
Chu Xuan smiled, "Now, all we need to do is wait. Wait for them to enter the array."
Leading the charge was an advanced zombie standing over three meters tall. It had four arms, with muscles bulging all over its body. Especially those legs, they were bizarrely jointed backward!
With a leap, its reverse-jointed legs acted like springs, propelling it high into the air. In an instant, it had jumped more than ten meters high! From its appearance and capabilities, this was at least a level-five zombie.
At that moment, the array suddenly concentrated countless potent, mighty flying swords and shot them out. In an instant, this level-five zombie was sliced into countless pieces of flesh, falling to the ground.
The zombies behind it had no idea what had happened upfront. They still rushed forward in a frenzy.
Time for dinner! Time for dinner! Those who lagged behind would miss out on their meal!
These reverse-jointed zombies entering the Earth Evil Demon Sealing Array liked to leap high into the air. Suspended with nowhere to leverage in mid-air, they naturally became live targets for the flying swords.
Just like their leader, they all ended up as piles of minced meat on the ground. Then, more and more zombies and supernatural creatures rushed in.
The flying swords hummed non-stop. Where they passed, only limbs and shattered bodies fell in droves.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Chu Xuan took out the Myriad Souls Banner. With a gesture of his hand, a vast number of souls began to stream continuously towards the Myriad Souls Banner.
Chu Xuan mused, "The rate at which these souls are replenishing is absurdly fast."
He estimated that once this horde of zombies was entirely vanquished, the souls within the Myriad Souls Banner might overflow.
This banner was merely a high-quality magic tool, not one of those legendary magical treasures possessing a spirit; otherwise, it would certainly have screamed in panic.
Too many! Stop coming in! It's going to overflow!
The carnage lasted for over three hours. Aside from a few intelligent high-level zombies and supernatural creatures that sensed danger and fled, the rest fell into the array.
Now, the grounds around the Science City building were finely layered with several strata of flesh and blood.
"All this flesh and blood should be enough to produce plenty of blood honey," he mused. "The queen bee's level might catch up immediately, and perhaps even unlock more types of blood bees."
Chu Xuan's thoughts stirred. He commanded the queen bee to deploy a large number of worker bees. Blood honey was far superior to blood pearls.
His own blood transmutation Technique was somewhat crude; in the future, he planned to let the blood bees handle such delicate tasks.
Was it laziness?
No.
It was more about allowing the blood bees to gain experience. That way, they could become key pillars under his command in the future.
The worker bees were highly efficient. In no time at all, they had cleaned up all the minced flesh that had fallen to the ground.
Of course, the corpulent entity from the deepest part of the underground base was not overlooked. In time, all this flesh would be transformed into blood honey.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Xuan swept up all the research materials from Science City, leaving nothing behind. He then set the last fire, burning down the towering building.
At that moment, Chu Xuan suddenly saw a burst of rainbow-colored radiance rising in the sky.
Following this were divine beasts like dragons, phoenixes, and qilins, each appearing one by one. Then, various phenomena such as the sun and moon soaring through the sky unfolded.
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
Here it comes! It's coming with signs and wonders! Merit! Here is merit again! Hum!
Suddenly, behind Chu Xuan's head, a three-tiered Merit Golden Wheel emerged. The Merit Golden Wheel, rotating silently like a lotus platform, was like a Buddha, a sage. The magnificent golden light was so intense it was blinding. Like a miniature sun!
The Merit Golden Wheel could enhance the power of merit-based spells. Accumulating layers on the Merit Golden Wheel is extremely challenging, and it becomes increasingly difficult with each additional layer.
For context, even Yuanhong, the current abbot of the Golden Dragon Temple, only possessed two layers of the Merit Golden Wheel.
Previously, Chu Xuan had only one layer. But today, after eradicating a horde of tens of thousands of zombies, he impressively gained three layers!
Chu Xuan muttered, "These hollow phenomena are alright, but can we discuss adding more Cleansing Soul Golden Rain?"
He looked up at the sky and clicked his tongue.
Whoosh!
Torrential rain poured down. Golden rain covered Chu Xuan from head to toe. Those who knew thought it was raining. Those who didn't might have thought it was hail!
"Truly magnificent!"
Chu Xuan gave a thumbs-up, immediately absorbing this precious Cleansing Soul Golden Rain. His spiritual soul once again strengthened significantly.
The total amount of Cleansing Soul Golden Rain this time far exceeded the last. Until the raindrops completely disappeared, Chu Xuan suddenly realized that his spiritual soul had actually doubled in strength!
Forget about being a Foundation Establishment seventh layer cultivator, even a the ninth layer cultivator couldn't compare to him.
Of course, such spiritual soul strength still couldn't compare to a Golden Core cultivator. The transition from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core was a complete leap in life level. All aspects would skyrocket.
In addition, he felt that his innate comprehension had also increased. His thoughts were clearer. His speed in pondering any problem had become faster.
"My spiritual soul has doubled, which means I can control more magic tools simultaneously and raise their number again."
Chu Xuan was overjoyed. The three corpse puppets, Long, Hu, and Bao, had now become Corpse Generals, their levels almost matching his.
Hu's level was particularly high, even surpassing Chu Xuan by one level, reaching the Eighth Level Corpse General. The higher the level, the more spiritual soul he needed to control them. Not to mention, Chu Xuan still needed to focus on controlling magic tools. With his spiritual soul now doubled, his pressure had been significantly reduced.
However, he had no intention of increasing the number of Corpse Generals further. Three Corpse Generals were sufficient.
At most, he would refine more corpse puppets like the Purifying Corpse to manage the farm or guard various arrays.
"Even the land here has been influenced by the Cleansing Soul Golden Rain."
Chu Xuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He glanced at the soil faintly shimmering with golden light. After a moment of consideration, he casually took out a flying sword magic tool and began digging right then and there!
