The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 387

The Heavenly Metal Battlefield was still in chaos. The roots of the Taotie Tree and the Wood Corpses wreaked havoc, tearing through the land without mercy.

Chu Xuan hid behind a massive rock, observing the surroundings. As two Nascent Soul stage Wood Corpses caught his scent and slowly drew nearer, Chu Xuan's mind stirred. The Evil Soul Chain and Gangsi shot out like lightning, quickly binding the two creatures.

Boom! Boom!

Chu Xuan unleashed two powerful punches, the might of his 38th stage of body refinement erupting with immense force, directly smashing the two Wood Corpses into pieces. Afterward, he flicked his fingers lightly, sending forth a wave of Blood Evil Yin Fire.

The flames soared into the air, consuming the corpses in an instant. Soon, all that remained was a cloud of ash. If he had simply destroyed them, it wouldn't have been long before the Wood Corpses reassembled and returned. Only by burning them with fire or dismembering them into hundreds of pieces could he ensure their complete annihilation.

"Eh?"

Chu Xuan's attention was drawn to a nearby wooden corpse, its head adorned with a treasure gourd. The gourd glowed with brilliant light. Without hesitation, he knew it was a valuable artifact.

"Wasn't it the Tian Mozi who flew out from the Dark Palace earlier, using a gourd-shaped spirit tool? Could this be the very same item?"

Chu Xuan couldn't help but pause, deep in thought. The encounter with such a rare treasure seemed too coincidental. How could this be? He instinctively felt the pull to approach. After all, this was a spiritual artifact.

Even a broken, low-grade spiritual artifact would surpass an exquisite magic treasure in terms of power. Although his Spiritual Qi might not be enough to fully activate it, having it in hand would be valuable. If he advanced to the Deity Transformation stage in the future, it would serve as a powerful tool to aid him on his path.

However, as soon as he began to approach, an instinctive sense of danger flared up within him. He wasn't sure where this feeling originated from, but it was unmistakable.

Perhaps it was a natural gift of heightened perception, or simply the instinct of someone who had lived carefully. But it certainly wasn't a gift bestowed by meritorious deeds. No, it wasn't.

Chu Xuan subtly focused his senses, and sure enough, he immediately detected a faint trace of spiritual sense hidden within the gourd.

"Could it be that Tian Mozi's primordial spirit is sealed inside?"

A sudden realization struck him. When the Infinite Sect was destroyed, he, as a mere Qi Refining cultivator, had stayed out of sight, using treasures to trap righteous cultivators time and again. This was precisely the kind of trick he was familiar with.

Tian Mozi, a Deity Transformation stage demonic cultivator, had forged a bloody path to his current power. The tactics Tian Mozi employed were surely more numerous than the ones Chu Xuan had ever used.

Hence, Chu Xuan immediately deduced that this wasn't a heavenly treasure falling from the sky, but rather a death trap. If the gourd contained a Nascent Soul cultivator, Chu Xuan would have seized the opportunity to pull him out and refine his soul.

But now, there was a strong possibility that it was Tian Mozi himself. Even if Tian Mozi, after escaping the Dark Palace, had used all his trump cards and was severely wounded, even abandoning his physical body, Chu Xuan didn't want to tangle with a Deity Transformation expert.

What if his greed for this small treasure led to his downfall?

Chu Xuan had the Myriad Realm Mirror, with access to three resource worlds: Blue Star, the Soul Star, and the Cave World. With these resources at his disposal, what treasures did he need to covet?

"This gourd is quite impressive, it must be a top-tier magic treasure!"

Chu Xuan's face lit up with surprise, and it seemed as though he was about to rush forward eagerly, ready to snatch the treasure into his grasp.

However, his figure suddenly reversed course at an astonishing speed, retreating far beyond his previous approach. In the blink of an eye, he was nearly a hundred zhang away.

"Good lad, you actually sensed me," a cold laugh rang out from the gourd.

In the next moment, the gourd suddenly sprang up, releasing a wave of black mist that swiftly coalesced into the upper half of a figure. The figure had a hawk-like nose, deep-set eyes, and a sinister expression.

It was none other than Tian Mozi, a Deity Transformation cultivator from the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect!

The gourd exploded with terrifying black light.

Chu Xuan, still in motion, felt his speed suddenly slow. Looking down, he saw that his feet were now shackled by a dark glow—like an invisible manacle.

The black light spraying from the gourd instantly intensified the grip on his feet, drastically reducing his speed.
