Chapter 1282: Rapid Corpse Transformation
Shi Weihan formed hand seals with incredible speed, his chanting equally astonishing. In the mere space of a single breath, he completed both, demonstrating an exceptional mastery over the technique.
“Rise! ”
The instant the hand seals and incantations concluded, a furious roar suddenly burst from Shi Weihan’s lips. And with that roar, a drastic change erupted!
Below, the ground was already a river of blood, strewn with corpses. Apart from a very few that remained relatively intact, the other bodies were either missing limbs, headless, or lacked an upper or lower torso. More tragically, some had even been ripped directly into fragments.
However, the very moment Shi Weihan’s roar echoed, plumes of thick grey Corpse Qi, visible to the naked eye, erupted from multiple areas of the ground below, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield. If one were to look down from above now, the scene would no longer be as clearly visible as before, but instead appear hazy and indistinct.
The corpses on the ground, whether zombie or human, whether mutilated or whole, immediately underwent grotesque transformations once shrouded by the Corpse Qi.
Headless corpses struggled to their feet as if imbued with life. They would find a nearby head for themselves, and regardless of whether it was their own, haphazardly attach it to their necks. If no heads were nearby, heads would even fly over on their own to affix themselves.
Yet, that wasn't the most preposterous sight. What was truly outrageous was that bodies, clearly shattered into fragments, also rapidly coalesced and reassembled themselves, much like children piecing together broken robots. Some were missing limbs, some had hands and feet attached backward, and there were even heads sprouting from crotches. While it sounded comical, the sight was utterly horrifying. What was truly absurd was that they all sprang to life as if suddenly animated, and each radiated power fluctuations of varying strengths!
The addition of these zombies encircled Yang Haoran, making him impenetrable. Yang Haoran, who had previously found space to dodge while facing the fierce assault of the three Golden Corpses, now had no room to maneuver, as these zombies had completely filled every possible escape route!
Although these zombies possessed uneven strengths, appearing no different from ants in Yang Haoran’s eyes, their sheer numbers and utter fearlessness still granted them considerable destructive power.
However, Yang Haoran’s strength was too formidable; harming him was no simple feat. Almost as soon as they closed in, they were forcibly dispersed by Yang Haoran. From a distance, Shi Weihan watched this scene, his face bone-chillingly cold.
Shi Weihan knew that these zombies alone were far from enough. Apart from the three Golden Corpses, the other zombies, no matter how numerous, could not withstand Yang Haoran’s slaughter. If the current situation persisted, it would only be a matter of time before Yang Haoran cleared them out, and the ultimate outcome would likely be no substantial harm to him, merely expending a fraction of his strength.
At this thought, Shi Weihan’s teeth gnashed loudly, and his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly made a momentous decision, directing his gaze towards the area where the enchanting female demon’s corpse had fallen.
Although the enchanting female demon’s body had been split in two by Remnant Moon, her true form was colossal. Even divided, her mass was still immense, and her weight considerable. Thus, plummeting from high altitude, she had smashed into the ground below, directly carving out two shallow craters of considerable diameter. It was on this colossal, bifurcated corpse of the enchanting female demon that Shi Weihan’s gaze now fixed.
Because some Demon Power still lingered within the enchanting female demon’s corpse, not having entirely dissipated, her massive body had not yet reverted to its ordinary size. In terms of dimensions, it was no different from when Remnant Moon had first cleaved her in two.
“My wife, forgive me. I must borrow your corpse for a moment. Rest assured, tonight I will surely kill this man and avenge you! ”
As Shi Weihan’s words fell, he immediately formed a hand seal. The thick Corpse Qi enveloping the enchanting female demon’s corpse seemed to suddenly come alive, burrowing into its interior from various parts of her body.
Initially, Shi Weihan hadn’t wanted to use the enchanting female demon’s corpse. He didn’t wish for her body to suffer any further harm, which was why all the other corpses, once shrouded in Corpse Qi, had sprung to life in various grotesque forms, yet hers alone remained unchanged. It wasn’t because her corpse was too massive for the grey Corpse Qi emerging from the ground to affect it, but rather because Shi Weihan had intentionally prevented it. That was why her body, even when enveloped by the grey Corpse Qi, had remained utterly unchanged, lying quietly where it was.
Now, Shi Weihan had decided to use the enchanting female demon’s corpse against Yang Haoran, which was why he formed a hand seal to alter the situation, allowing the grey Corpse Qi to similarly affect her body. To hasten the corpse transformation of the enchanting female demon’s body and to make her even more formidable than other ordinary zombies after transformation, he abandoned the method of simply having grey Corpse Qi envelop her corpse. Instead, he directly manipulated a vast amount of grey Corpse Qi to continuously burrow into the interior of the enchanting female demon’s body.
Other ordinary zombies had undergone corpse transformation simply by being enveloped in grey Corpse Qi, and had erupted with considerable power fluctuations. The reason for this lay in the grey Corpse Qi emerging from the ground. Yet now, Shi Weihan was actually manipulating a vast amount of grey Corpse Qi to continuously burrow into the enchanting female demon’s corpse. This would undoubtedly cause immense changes to her body!
As the grey Corpse Qi continuously burrowed into the enchanting female demon’s corpse, the body gradually began to react, from a slight twitch to violent tremors. Finally, the split-in-two corpse visibly rejoined itself with incredible speed, transforming back into a colossal and complete yellow fox.
However, a scar ran through the entire body of this yellow fox. Even after the two halves of the corpse had rejoined, this scar remained clearly visible, and it looked utterly hideous. This scar, of course, was left by Remnant Moon.
The instant the two halves of the body joined, the yellow fox’s tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open. Yet, these eyes, like those of the three Golden Corpses, looked foolish and blank, betraying no emotion or hint of intelligence—worse even than a wild beast’s.
Although its eyes appeared foolish and blank, the power fluctuations unleashed by the yellow fox were by no means weak. While it still couldn’t compare to the three Golden Corpses battling Yang Haoran in the sky, it nonetheless surpassed all the other zombies that had undergone corpse transformation under the influence of the grey Corpse Qi!
The yellow fox now clearly possessed considerable destructive power, yet Shi Weihan did not stop there. He continued to manipulate the grey Corpse Qi below, making it constantly burrow into the yellow fox’s body. As more and more grey Corpse Qi entered its form, the power fluctuations it unleashed became progressively stronger. No longer was there a trace of green Demon Power visible on its body; all that remained was grey Corpse Qi, and extremely dense grey Corpse Qi at that!
