Chapter 139: Dual Attributes Divine Ability – Corrupted Corpse Blood
The reason for heading to Qicai Village was mainly that many people had died there, leaving the village in ruins.
Yun Ye wanted to give those who were still alive a glimmer of hope, or perhaps… find some survivors.
He quickly crossed the plain and reached the back mountain of Qicai Village. In this area, the aura of monsters thickened significantly.
Not far out, a dozen undead beings attacked, and Yun Ye eliminated them one by one, gaining a bit of experience.
However, at level six, the experience requirements became daunting; killing some ordinary monsters was merely a drop in the bucket.
"There are… absolutely none…"
Yun Ye fought his way into Qicai Village, using his Spirit Sense and Water Law to scout the area, but he sensed no signs of life—only desolation and death, aside from the monsters.
"Roar!"
A very robust live zombie let out a roar as it burst out of a house. With its arms raised, golden light gathered, indicating it possessed some kind of metal-based divine ability. This strike aimed directly at Yun Ye with explosive force, showing the strength of an upper-level high monster.
But the opponent had chosen the wrong target. Yun Ye casually raised a hand and easily intercepted the seemingly powerful blow, even seizing one of its arms, rendering it immobile.
"In a village with so few people, there’s even a live zombie with awakened abilities. Ordinary folks have no chance of surviving; no wonder each great disaster only grows stronger."
"Boom!"
Yun Ye showed no mercy. He knew such a powerful zombie was likely a recently deceased villager…
However, he had no second thoughts about sending these zombies to their graves!
The live zombie was engulfed by the spreading flames, quickly turning to ashes.
Only a pair of bloodsucking fangs fell into Yun Ye’s hands, which he casually crushed into a small sword.
Using the teeth of a zombie to create a Spiritual Tool, Yun Ye named it the White Bone Blood Sword.
This Spiritual Tool could draw blood for refinement, reducing the consumption of Spiritual Law, making it quite a rare weapon.
With zombies abundant like cattle hair, it was perfect for recycling, crafting a few usable White Bone Blood Swords!
"Die, you!"
Feeling annoyed, Yun Ye decided to practice on these zombies. With a single step, flames turned three to five zombies to ashes, followed by a rush of water that carried the blood fangs into the White Bone Blood Sword.
With Heart Fire and Azure Flame surrounding him, Yun Ye moved with incredible speed, almost defying gravity. No action posed a challenge for him, turning his combat into a flow like drifting clouds and flowing water, turning many undead creatures to ashes in an instant.
The White Bone Blood Sword visibly grew larger; originally just a decorative piece, it expanded to the size of a dagger after Yun Ye swept through Qicai Village.
Spinning the White Bone Blood Sword, Yun Ye tried to use the sword to kill a zombie, and he was astonished to find it worked! It could extract the zombie’s vitality, even stronger than that of ordinary creatures.
Quickly, Yun Ye realized that although zombies appeared dead, their undead nature represented extreme vitality. Killing zombies provided even more life force than extracting from ordinary monsters!
He had previously obtained Nether Fire because spiritual zombies had extraordinarily strong life forces that Azure Flame refined into even crystallized forms!
"It seems there’s another way to tackle this great disaster…"
Yun Ye stored the White Bone Blood Sword, withdrew the Azure Flame, and maintained the Heart Fire for high-speed movement, beginning to search around for any living people.
But the outcome disappointed Yun Ye. He searched several villages in a row but found not a single person.
These villagers were either dead or hiding very deeply; otherwise, they couldn’t have escaped the monsters.
Finding someone easily seemed impossible.
This made Yun Ye understand that the feasibility of searching for survivors was low. It was better to go around killing monsters to reduce the death rate of ordinary people, which would also help him accumulate more experience points.
With his current strength, he could barely compete against a Captain from Baishi Town. If he could upgrade All Things Silent with skill points and use this technique for a sneak attack, his chances of success would improve.
…
Yun Ye headed to the fourth village, Mingzhu Village.
The distinctive Mingzhu bamboo filled his view.
Mingzhu Village lay in a small clearing deep within the bamboo forest, and Yun Ye could faintly hear roaring sounds coming from inside. They were not human voices but belonged to monsters.
"The calamity energy here is very thick; there may be live zombies that have evolved."
Just as Yun Ye prepared to enter, Mingri suddenly reminded him.
"Evolved beings?"
Yun Ye was pleasantly surprised; the evolved form of a live zombie was none other than spiritual zombies! It was a perfect opportunity!
Losing Nether Fire had a severe impact on his strength, making it impossible for him to use the Celestial Phenomenon!
The Celestial Phenomenon was just a magical tool, but it could evaporate half of a judge’s body with a single strike.
If it hit the upper half, it would surely lead to death!
Such a method could not be used without Nether Fire, which was indeed regrettable. Now that he could possibly regain it, Yun Ye was naturally overjoyed.
So when he heard the reminder, Yun Ye quickened his pace and rushed into Mingzhu Village.
Mingzhu Village was also stained with blood and scattered corpses; many people had died here. In some areas, flames still burned, likely due to people fleeing in panic, causing the kitchen fire to spread.
Like the other villages, there were many zombies roaming about, but not a single living person could be found.
At first glance, Yun Ye did not see any spiritual zombies, but that was not a problem. He would kill his way through, and the spiritual zombies would surely show up!
The battle quickly broke out, with over a hundred undead beings swarming in, far surpassing the numbers from the other villages.
But with so many enemies, Yun Ye found it exhilarating to fight; flames burned the unyielding bodies, and water flowed through in twists and turns. While defeating enemies, he continuously collected trophies to integrate into the White Bone Blood Sword.
The White Bone Blood Sword had now grown to the size of a complete longsword, but incorporating the zombie fangs was not without effect. Its purity had also improved, and it absorbed the power of other zombie fangs to strengthen the blade.
"Buzz!"
The sword was unleashed, and a blood dragon emerged. As the purity of the blade reached a new level, the White Bone Blood Sword automatically gained the upper-level zombie’s Corrupted Corpse Blood ability, allowing it to extract blood and turn it into poison, capable of dissolving anything. It wouldn’t just reduce a flesh-and-blood body to nothing; even a Spiritual Tool or magical item would lose its spirituality upon contact.
Seeing the new ability intrigued Yun Ye, and he continually employed the Corrupted Corpse Blood ability to devour the remaining undead beings.
This was indeed an ability of upper-level zombies; the undead beings vanished with a single touch, proving even more efficient than Azure Flame.
As he used it more, Yun Ye discovered that this Corrupted Corpse Blood was actually a dual attributes divine ability.
Although not fully realized, it was not due to him not being a zombie; in the hands of a true upper-level zombie, this ability would be a genuine dual attributes divine ability with terrifying power!
As this thought crossed his mind, Yun Ye spotted dark clouds gathering on a Mingzhu bamboo a hundred meters away…
A rotting humanoid entity appeared, its hollow eye sockets staring at Yun Ye, causing his heart to nearly stop.
