Chapter 216 - Gigantus Corpses (2/2)
Reanimation Arts?
They were arts that utilized lifeforce energy to temporarily bring back a corpses functionality. Yan Zaizen had refined a corpse into a puppet, but it was fundamentally different. Reanimation arts were a divine-class art because the cost was one's own lifeforce, not just energy. Not only that, you could restore a corpse to carry some semblance of its abilities and consciousness.
”Hmph! Idiots!” Yan Zaizen saw this and couldn't help but coldly snort. He ignored Bing He, dashing towards the six gigantic corpses. He could feel their vital energy stored in their bodies erupt with an unprecedented intensity. If he had to estimate, each of these corpses was at rank-five Fiendgods!
As he appraised the corpses, he felt a tinge of danger in his heart. ”Does this mean, my instincts suggest a rank-five Fiendgod corpse can pose danger to me?” As he calmly analyzed, his eyes flickered with an inky, black light that seemed to embody death itself.
Herculean Avatar Art: Death Form!
Yan Zaizen's body was etched in profound inscriptions that radiated a deathly aura. He took a breath. The spatial void siphoned into his lungs. The deathly aura strengthened.
”If I didn't comprehend life and death, this would actually pose a threat, but now?” He approached the first gigantus corpse, it had the size of a mountain, and it took action. The wielder of this corpse stood atop its head, performing a handseal, it seemed to have established a connection. The cultivator merged into the corpse's head.
”Oh?” Finding this intriguing, Yan Zaizen could suddenly feel the corpse come to life. With its gigantic hands that could collapse hills, it smashed towards Yan Zaizen with a palm.
Keeping Sky Shatter, Yan Zaizen extended his arms to intercept the incoming palm. It smashed heavily into his body. A booming sound reverberated in the surrounding space, if normal cultivators beneath the heavenly path were nearby, they would immediately lose their hearing.
”That lifeforce you injected into this corpse, I must thank you. It'll be a delicious meal!” With a malicious smile, he breathed in, and then the world seemed to be siphoned inwardly as space was drawn into it. However, the lifeforce infused in the corpse seemed to be especially targeted. It was wrenched away like candy from a baby, being pulled out in white wisps of energy, and entering Yan Zaizen's nostrils.
”NO!” A voice resounded in the gigantus corpse. The head exploded violently as the cultivator darted out with a panicked rush. The others were shocked. White wisps were being pulled from his body as well, flowing into Yan Zaizen's nostrils.
”MORE!” Breathing in more, the deathly aura extended to shroud the cultivator and corpse, and siphoned ruthlessly all that was within its space - especially lifeforce. The cultivator started to visibly age.
”What the!” The other witnesses couldn't help but reel. They knew death laws could deteriorate lifeforce, drain vitality, or even terminate life itself, but never had they seen a concept where death absorbed life! When the cultivator finally escaped the deathly shroud, by igniting his heavenly shrine, he seemed to have aged by thirty years.
To heavenly cultivators, this likely meant he lost fifty to sixty thousand years of life. As for the corpse, its entire existence was being siphoned. Its flesh, bones, stale blood, and remnant soul were being siphoned into Yan Zaizen's nostrils.
They watched as, in three seconds, the entirety of this rank-five Fiendgod corpse was absorbed.
The deathly aura around Yan Zaizen increased, by the shroud didn't. Purposefully keeping it restricted, Yan Zaizen could feel the limitations when he battled Yu Shi no longer existed. Before, Yan Zaizen couldn't utilize the death form as much as he wanted, when it siphoned a certain amount, it would immediately enter life soul form. However, it didn't so now.
His eyes were no longer dark-amber, but inky, black color that seemed to desire the very heavens. He felt immense power well in his body, but there was no more resistance from the concepts. It was as if it was tamed, or at least, it became obedient.
”Is this the effect of the Sky Opening Gate?” He deeply questioned. In truth, it was. After removing the limitations of the heavens from his body, the regalia were no longer independent concepts but thoroughly merged within him without restriction. Therefore, his forms no longer had limitations or acted without his will.
He smacked his lips as the inky, black deathly aura surged in his body felt extraordinary. It was as if he was death itself and all those before him must await their judgment.
His black eyes turned towards the other corpses with immense desire and greed within.
”I think I'll have another, please!”
