Chapter 1063: A Fog of Corpse Qi (1/2)

Crumble!

The submarine that the group had taken finally buckled beneath the pressure and broke down in pieces. Lu Yun and the others tumbled out, still as zombies.

Remarkably, they all seemed to be on the same page regarding what had happened earlier. No one asked any questions, and neither did anyone raise the issue of the cold black fire.

Dense orange qi drifted in front of them, blocking the way forward.

Leng Xian stowed the water curtain and frowned faintly. “How should we get through? This layer of corpse qi is enough to turn the living straight into a zombie!”

She turned back to see that boundless zombie sea had already disappeared. But to her senses, there was an enormous zombie river oozing out of the depths of corpse qi. It continuously replenished the zombie sea with endless new inhabitants.

Thus, the source of the zombie sea lay somewhere within this miasma of corpse qi.

“We’re zombies right now,” Lu Yun said calmly as he looked at Leng Xian. “Though this talisman is a combat art talisman, it’s transformed us to zombies on a fundamental level. Therefore, that corpse qi won’t harm us.”

Leng Xian, Ying Luo, and Wang Shu goggled at him. An impenetrable haze seemed to shroud Lu Yun, making him even more mysterious than this vast Tomb of Heaven and Earth.

Who was he, really? Was he really just a secluded disciple of Inception Palace?

“Though these Shapeshifting Talismans have transformed us on an intrinsic level, we still have nowhere to hide in front of the sovereigns. They may not be able to see through to our underlying selves, but they’ll sense the ripples of combat arts over our bodies,” Lu Yun added.

Ordinary mortals were hard pressed to detect the ripples of combat arts in operation. But to a sovereign or the even more superior eternal overlords, there was nothing clandestine about the Shapeshifting death art at all.

“The corpse qi is a dead entity and we’re just zombies to it. We need to go. More people will arrive if we’re too slow.” Taking the lead, Lu Yun bounded into the yellowish fog.

“That jerk! Doesn’t he know that other zombies will be hiding inside the corpse qi?” Cursing, Leng Xian followed him in.

Ying Luo and Wang Shu were even faster than her. They were hot on Lu Yun’s heels the second he stepped in.

This slightly aggravated Leng Xian.

Vision was so obscured in the fog of corpse qi that one’s fingers would be impossible to make out on an outstretched hand. However, since the four of them were zombies, they didn’t meet with any hindrance in the yellow miasma. In fact, it was extremely comfortable to have the corpse qi flow into their bodies.

“Am I… am I really a zombie now??” Sensing this newfound enjoyment and that his cultivation was even beginning to grow, Wang Shu panicked and worried that he really was becoming a zombie.

“Well, you’re a zombie right now.” Lu Yun looked sideways at Wang Shu. Though he couldn’t see the boy at the moment, the unique perception of a zombie painted a clear picture of his surroundings to his senses.

Wang Shu trembled.

“If you undo the talisman on your body, you’ll really turn into a full zombie.” Leng Xian suddenly smirked at him. She could feel Wang Shu’s subconscious movements to shatter the talisman on him.
