Chapter 85

"Congratulations to the reincarnated Jiang Chen, for obtaining the abilities of the zombie character Ren Laotai: first-class初级 natural zombie bloodline, immortality, unbreakable body, immense strength, and the ability to drink blood........."

The cruel cycle of reincarnation gave Jiang Chen no chance to back out. Instantly, a wild and bloodthirsty force abruptly appeared within his body.

This force was extremely special, originating from his bloodline. Under the enhancement of the cycle's talent, it surged directly from the depths of Jiang Chen's bloodline. Immediately, it began to catalyze his body from the inside out.

"Oh no, this isn't good."

Jiang Chen did not want to turn into a zombie, but for a moment, he didn't know what to do. In his struggle, his fingers extended sharp nails, and his mouth revealed fierce fangs.

Qiusheng, Wencai, and others were jubilant about killing the zombie, but it was Jiushu who first noticed Jiang Chen's abnormal condition. He hurriedly asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I...... Roar." He wanted to respond to Jiushu, but halfway through, his words turned into a low, fierce roar, which startled Jiushu greatly. Qiusheng, Wencai, and Ren Tingting were even more shocked.

Seeing Jiang Chen's nails and fangs growing wildly, Wencai couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "Master, Junior Uncle is turning into a zombie!"

"Rubbish," Jiushu coldly snorted, giving him a fierce glare. Then, he stepped into the Tian Gang stance, formed a spirit seal with his hands, and pointed at Jiang Chen's forehead, "Junior Brother, quickly focus your mind, silently recite the Yuming Lianhun Jue, and refine the zombie power within you. Otherwise, you will turn into a zombie."

"Yes......" With all his might, Jiang Chen quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, using his demonic heart to stabilize his mind. The starry sky in his dantian trembled, and 365 stars flickered together. Thick magical power flowed through him, following the path of the Yuming Lianhun Jue, beginning to refine the zombie power.

Although becoming a zombie meant immortality, this immortality required the maintenance of blood. Jiang Chen did not want to become a monster, so he resolutely rejected the temptation of immortality. As the Yuming Lianhun Jue operated, he gradually refined the zombie power within him.

Ren Laotai was a zombie born naturally, with an extraordinary bloodline that had a very special evolutionary power. Therefore, when Jiang Chen refined the bloodline power, he tried to preserve this evolutionary ability as much as possible, integrating it into his body to enhance his innate foundation.

Time passed, and he was immersed in cultivation. Outside, Jiushu, Qiusheng, and others watched him with tense faces, fearing that he would fail in the refinement and turn into a zombie.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was not an ordinary person. In the first cycle world, he had already forged a demonic heart through endless slaughter, with a will far stronger than that of ordinary people. Therefore, he could easily endure the most dangerous stage of refining the zombie bloodline. After that, it was just a matter of time.

"Uncle Jiushu," Ren Tingting asked with concern, "Is he okay?"

"He's fine," Jiushu sighed in relief, seeing Jiang Chen's expression stabilize. "He has already overcome the critical stage. He might wake up in a day or two, or in three to five days."

Wencai curiously asked, "What will happen when he wakes up?"

"Of course, he will just wake up. What else?" Jiushu said irritably, "Do you think everyone is as useless as you? Your Junior Uncle is taking this opportunity to cultivate the Yuming Lianhun Jue. When he wakes up, his magical power will definitely increase greatly. Unlike you, who has been practicing with me for over ten or twenty years without any significant achievements."

Wencai, scolded harshly, quickly shrank back. On the other hand, Qiusheng, out of curiosity, asked, "Strange, how did Junior Brother get the zombie power?"

"He might have been injured by the zombie during the fight," Jiushu said, though he was not entirely sure. Fortunately, Jiang Chen had the Yuming Lianhun Jue, otherwise, the situation would have been much worse.

After all, the transformation of an ordinary person into a zombie and that of a cultivation expert into a zombie were completely different. For example, if Jiang Chen turned into a zombie, even just at the beginning, he would be far more powerful than Ren Laotai.

Jiushu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to Qiusheng and the others, "Clean up this area. I need to protect Junior Brother. When he wakes up, we will re-bury Ren Laotai's ashes."

Qiusheng, Wencai, and Ren Tingting left, and Jiushu sat down next to Jiang Chen, breathing heavily. After all, he was old, and the intense battle had left his body exhausted.

One day, two days, Jiang Chen remained seated, motionless. Jiushu, Qiusheng, Wencai, and Ren Tingting took turns guarding him to prevent any external interference. Although they didn't know when he would wake up, they could feel that Jiang Chen's aura was constantly changing and gradually strengthening.

As time passed, with the help of the Yuming Lianhun Jue, Jiang Chen gradually refined the zombie power, doubling his magical power in a short time, surpassing Jiushu by a significant margin.

When his consciousness cleared, Jiang Chen finally understood why, despite the dangers of the Yuming Lianhun Jue, so many disciples of the Maoshan sect still competed to cultivate it. This technique, which could refine the powers of demons and monsters for one's own use, was truly irresistible, and few could resist the temptation of rapidly increasing magical power.

Moreover, to his surprise, because the zombie bloodline in his body was a direct talent from the cycle bracelet, although he forcibly refined it, he still retained some of the zombie bloodline's abilities, such as an unbreakable body, immense strength, and even...... immortality.

Well, in fact, he could only remain young. Although his recovery ability had greatly increased, he was still far from being truly immortal. Jiang Chen was not regretful about this. Ren Laotai, who was supposed to be immortal, was ultimately defeated by him and Jiushu. So-called immortality had its limits. Ultimately, only power was eternal.

"Reincarnated Jiang Chen, you have a talent granted by the cycle. You can choose to double the strength of one of the abilities you have obtained, limited to the ability you just gained."

"Congratulations to the reincarnated Jiang Chen for completing the main mission: Eliminate the zombie Ren Laotai. You have obtained a wish-granting dragon pearl and the qualification to enter the next cycle."

"Special reminder: The main mission is completed. The mission rewards will be distributed upon your return to the cycle world. The reincarnated Jiang Chen can stay in this world for up to thirty natural days. Before the deadline, you will be forcibly returned to the cycle world......"

One by one, messages appeared in his mind. Jiang Chen, who had been focused on refining the zombie power, had not had the chance to check them. Now, he received all the information at once, feeling a bit dazed. When he regained his composure, he chose to double the strength of his unbreakable body.

"Congratulations to the reincarnated Jiang Chen. You have activated the talent ability, doubling the unbreakable body from the zombie Ren Laotai, enhancing it to an immortal body."

With the talent ability, the power flowed through him, and Jiang Chen could clearly feel his body's strength increasing continuously, reaching an unimaginable level, even surpassing the limits of his martial arts and dao techniques.

"Physical Immortality" This phrase suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind. Although his immortal body was just beginning to form, it was still far from physical immortality, but it had already surpassed the limits that fourth-stage ancient martial arts and dan qi could enhance. Perhaps, another term could describe it:

"Fifth-stage Physical Body" Yes, fifth-stage physical body, considering only the level of this body, apart from the ancient martial arts, national arts, and dao techniques he practiced.

Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Jiang Chen sighed, regaining control of his body. At the same time, the fangs in his mouth and the nails on his hands began to rapidly retreat.

"Uncle Jiushu, come over quickly." At this moment, Ren Tingting was on guard. Seeing this miraculous scene, she immediately called Jiushu and the others, "Look, his nails and teeth are back to normal."

"Um." Jiushu nodded and smiled, "This means Junior Brother has refined the zombie power within him. He should be waking up soon......"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. Two bright rays of light flashed, and he softly exhaled, instantly sending a qi sword through the air. It pierced the wall of the mortuary several meters away, creating a hole with a soft "pfft" sound.

As everyone was amazed, Jiang Chen stood up, casually moving his body, and a series of "crack" sounds echoed from his bones. Without any visible effort, a massive aura spread out like a prehistoric beast.

After a while, Jiang Chen calmed and reined in this aura, then looked around at the people around him and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, two Junior Nephews, Miss Tingting, I'm really sorry for making you worry these past few days......"
