Possessing a Natal Magic Artifact was only the first step required in cultivating the Divine Beast technique.
After that, this treasure must at least be nourished in oneâs body for up to a hundred years. To achieve the Unity of Human and Treasure, the attribute of the Magic Artifact must be exactly the same as the cultivatorâs Spiritual Root attribute.
For example, Zhang Yi owned a water attribute Spiritual Root, and his Cold Scale Sword was also a treasure of the water element.
Then one needed the assistance of several special pills, and after all these hardships, one could finally practice this Magic Art.
This beast transformation was not only activated using Zhang Yiâs body, the Cold Scale Sword was also integrated into his flesh and blood. Therefore, this monsterâs teeth and claws were so sharp that they could tear through this zombieâs flesh.
Seeing Zhang Yi gaining the upper hand, Chen Yu was naturally overjoyed.
With a hiss, the monsterâs claws had pierced through the zombieâs chest, and the outcome was already decided.
Even if it was a Corpse King, with such a hard blow, it was definitely badly injured and is nearly dead. Zhang Yi was overjoyed, he wanted to revert back to his human form, and give the other party the final blow. Although this Beast Body is extremely powerful, it consumes too much Spiritual Power.
âSenior Brother!â Chen Yu also floated over, but the next moment, she stopped in shock.
âYouâŠWhat are you doing?â
Zhang Yiâs strange tiger incarnation suddenly uttered these words, and his eyes were full of fear.
Lin Xuanâs heart shuddered, and he quickly looked up.
He saw that the strange tiger couldnât pull out its paws from the zombieâs wound, and the Corpse King had opened its mouth and spat out countless black Ghostly Fog. After which, they turned into strange pythons, firmly entangling the tiger.
Then the severely injured zombie smiled strangely.
It took a deep breath.
And a thin beam of light shot out from the red bead on its forehead, plunging into the tigerâs body.
Zhang Yi screamed and struggled desperately, but those strange pythons became tighter and tighter.
There was an expression of excitement and solemnity on the zombieâs face, it then raised its head and took a deep breath.
The beam of light that was shot from its forehead was still in Zhang Yiâs body, constantly flickering. It was like it was pulling something.
âJunior sister, hurry up, help me, itâŠIt wants to pull my Golden Core out of my body.â
Zhang Yiâs words were uttered by the tiger, with an extremely frightened tone.
Chen Yu was shocked and tried to circulate her Spiritual Power. But without the help of her Spiritual Power, the corpse poison immediately began to attack. Her complexion turned ghastly pale and she fell to the ground.
âJunior sister!â
Zhang Yi was frightened and angry. At this time, a blue light flashed on the surface of his body, and he could no longer maintain his transformation. What was even more terrifying, his glowing Golden Core was faintly visible and was about to rush out of his body.
If the Golden Core is swallowed up, then his own fateâŠ
Can it be that junior sister and I will fall here?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Then a trace of determination appeared on Zhang Yiâs face.
After several hundred years of cultivating immortality, he has experienced many adversities and sailed across all kinds of winds and waves. How could his ship capsize in a gutter? Much less by a lowly zombieâŠ
He chanted a strange incantation.
Seeing the Golden Core emerge from his body, the zombie was overjoyed and stretched out its sharp claws to grab it. As long as he swallowed it, his cultivation base would instantly increase equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation.
Seeing that it was about to be snatched, the Golden Core suddenly released a protective barrier, which wrapped around Zhang Yi.
The zombie did not care. As the barrier looked thin as paper, it grabbed it forcefully with its sharp claws.
However, right after touching the Blue Light outside the barrier, the zombieâs face showed an expression of extreme fear and tried to escape, but it was too late.
There was a loud bang, and the blue halo outside the barrier instantly burst with amazing power. However, its range was extremely small.
Through the smoke and dust, it could be seen that Zhang Yi, who was protected by the barrier, was safe and sound, but his face was extremely pale, and he looked quite aggrieved.
Correspondingly, the Golden Coreâs light was extremely dazzling.
However, the next moment, the light quickly dimmed, and its surface was covered with countless fine lines, and with a snap, it burst into countless pieces.
Zhang Yiâs eyes were full of resentment, and he glared at the zombie who was still alive.
Just moments ago, he made a choice. Instead of letting the monster eat his Golden Core, it was better to blow it up himself.
The only unwillingness was that it couldnât kill the zombie.
Although the zombie was also seriously injured, Zhang Yi did not dare hit it while it was down. Unlike a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who would die when their Nascent Soul was destroyed, a cultivator of the Core Formation Stage wouldnât be in danger after shattering their Golden Core. But it would only cause them to suffer a great loss of Vital Qi, and their strength would fall to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And if one wanted to enter the Core Formation Stage again, the difficulty would reach the level of defying the heavens, and it could almost be said that there was no hope.
One could imagine the depression in Zhang Yiâs heart. He didnât expect to encounter such a thing when he went out to look from his Martial Nephews.
However, he was also a heroic character, and he quickly made the right choice. Without the strength of the Core Formation Stage, he could not even move the Magic Artifact, let alone retract into his body.
He put away the Cold Scale Sword into his Storage Bracelet, then took out a ring-shaped Spirit Tool. After activating it, it turned into a blue beam of light. Grabbing the unconscious Chen Yu on the ground, he flew towards the sky without looking back.
The Yin Corpse Valley then regained its silence.
After about half an hour, a plain young man came out from behind a huge boulder dozens of meters away.
Originally, he wanted to listen to those two peopleâs secrets, but he didnât expect himself to get involved in this thrilling battle.
Fortunately, both sides were injured, and he was still safe and sound.
Lin Xuan felt lucky, but he also smiled bitterly. It seemed that he always encounterd some dangerous matters.
After hesitating for a while, he looked thoughtfully at the zombie next to him.
This monster was so powerful that it was abnormal. Although that old man was no ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivator, and he also had that womenâs help, yet he was still forced to this point.
Moreover, it was impossible for an ordinary Corpse King to use a cultivatorâs Natal Magic Artifact after devouring their Golden Core.
It was just rolling on the ground a while ago, but now it was motionless. It was unknown if itâs unconscious or dead.
Looking at the Corpse King, Lin Xuan showed a sly smile at the corner of his mouthâŠ
