Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 432 - 443: A New Corpse King Emerges!
Chapter 432: Chapter 443: A New Corpse King Emerges!
After understanding Qiqi’s abilities, Lu Chuan felt confident and returned to the Base City with Qiqi.
Given Qiqi’s current strength, it’s fair to say that even if Lu Chuan were to take action himself, he would have a hard time dealing with her.
After all, the gap between the fifth and sixth tiers is almost insurmountable. Although Lu Chuan, the sixth-tier Corpse King, commands several fifth-tier Corpse Puppets, there is only one sixth-tier Corpse Puppet, Undead One.
Perhaps Undead One’s combat power is the strongest among all evolved zombies, but when facing Qiqi, who has two Talent Abilities: Time Control and Telekinesis Control, it would be utterly powerless.
Just Telekinesis Control alone is enough for Undead One to handle, let alone Qiqi’s bizarre Time Control ability.
Afterward, Lu Chuan let Qiqi continue stabilizing her cultivation in the room, while he went to the kitchen to prepare a lavish dinner for her, celebrating her successful breakthrough to the sixth tier, becoming a powerful Sixth-Tier Evolver.
…
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.
During this period, Lu Chuan was busy hunting Fierce Fish in the Li River, to serve as flesh feed for the zombie breeding base. Since a large portion of the evolved zombies in the base was used up to help Undead One advance, they desperately needed new evolved zombies.
As for Ji Ruxue, besides helping Lu Chuan hunt, she spent her days diligently cultivating in the bedroom.
Although she had already advanced to the sixth tier, reaching a height difficult for ordinary people to touch, Ji Ruxue was clearly not satisfied with this. The alien invasion was imminent, and sixth-tier abilities meant nothing in front of those aliens. She needed to become stronger.
Li River Base City, Zombie Breeding Base No. 2.
Under Lu Chuan’s telekinesis, a group of Corpse Puppets came to the staircase.
Looking at the number of evolved zombies within the walls below, a satisfied expression appeared on Lu Chuan’s face.
After a week of feeding, the zombie breeding base had accumulated quite a number of second and third-tier evolved zombies, now ready again to support his fifth-tier Corpse Puppet promotions.
Bang, bang, bang~
The next moment, Tyrant One and other Corpse Puppets leapt from the wall, commencing a slaughter of the evolved zombies inside the walls. Following previous operations, the crystals cores from these zombies would be converted to fourth-tier Corpse Puppets, then extracting enough Crystal Cores from them.
Half an hour later, Lu Chuan successfully obtained four fourth-tier Crystal Cores.
Then, with the Crystal Cores and Ji Ruxue, Lu Chuan set off with a convoy towards the Li River.
Splashing~
On the wide Li River, waves rolled and rippled, as the invigorating river wind breezed across the riverbank.
Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue, accompanied by a group of Corpse Puppets, arrived at the riverside.
Boom!
With a thought from Lu Chuan, a water column exploded in the central area of the river, and a gray-brown figure burst out from the water.
“Roar~”
Water Manipulation One let out a roar, rapidly moving across the water surface, raised by a Water Flow Vortex until it reached the shore.
As Water Manipulation One arrived, the river waves it stirred crashed onto the surface, sending spray everywhere.
Lu Chuan took a few steps back to avoid the splash, then promptly handed the four fourth-tier Crystal Cores to Water Manipulation One.
Instantly, after swallowing these Crystal Cores, just like every Corpse Puppet’s advancement, rampant energy rampaged within Water Manipulation One’s body, nourishing and refining every part of his flesh.
“Roar, roar, roar~”
As it shuddered and roared, Water Manipulation One lost control over the water, and the Water Flow Vortex below him disintegrated, disappearing on the river’s surface.
All Water Manipulation One could do was lie rigidly on the water, his body trembling, causing ripples to spread around.
As time passed, Water Manipulation One’s aura became increasingly stronger, with rampant energy continually pushing him towards the fifth tier.
When the aura hit the peak of the fifth tier, soon, the energy within Water Manipulation One seemed to find an outlet, converging furiously to a point in the body.
Rumble~
The torrent of energy surged through the meridians, finally vanishing upon that point, and outwardly, Water Manipulation One’s already peak fourth-tier aura began to slowly transition towards the fifth tier.
Boom!
The next moment, the powerful aura belonging to the fifth tier poured out from Water Manipulation One, as a wonderful blue Spiritual Light swept all around. Instantly, the surrounding rippling river surface became tumultuous, just like boiling water, with constant wave sounds.
“Roar!”
The successfully advanced Water Manipulation One let out a delightful roar, and beneath him, a water vortex surged, elevating his body on a water column into the sky.
Simultaneously, under Water Manipulation One’s control, columns of water burst from the river, reaching towards the sky, continuously rumbling, creating a lively spectacle.
Watching Water Manipulation One succeed in breaking through, a slight smile formed on Lu Chuan’s face.
This advancement to the fifth tier brought little external transformation to Water Manipulation One’s form, except for a significant enhancement of his physique.
Lu Chuan was quite satisfied with the two skills that awakened, aligning with his future expectations for Water Manipulation One.
One of these skills was named Water Control by Lu Chuan, an enhancement of Water Manipulation One’s previous water control, making it over ten times stronger than before.
The other skill was named Water Spirit Body by Lu Chuan, similar to Flame One’s Fire Spirit Body, allowing Water Elementalization, enabling his body to transform into water and merge with the river water.
Immediately, Lu Chuan decided to embark on a hunt with Qiqi, providing a chance to test Water Manipulation One’s strength after reaching the fifth tier.
Rumble~
Suddenly, the river was in chaos, as the powerful water control ability of Water Manipulation One caused the Li River to surge, forming massive vortices that churned the waters.
Soon, waves carrying numerous Mutated Ferocious Fish swept towards the shore.
Seeing the mass of Fierce Fish on the shore, Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he happily began the hunt with Qiqi.
In no time, the hunting task was completed, taking a full third less time than before.
“However, it’s time to switch to a new hunting area.”
Noticing the visibly diminishing number of Fierce Fish in the water, Lu Chuan frowned slightly.
Thankfully, the Li River is long, and if fish numbers decrease in one section, they can move downstream.
…
Dragon Province, Jiangzhou Base City.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The Base City’s leader, frowning deeply, eyed the officer who had just entered and asked gravely, “What have you found? How could a Corpse Tide appear in Jiangzhou City?”
“Commander, our investigation suggests there’s a great possibility that this Corpse Tide is being controlled by a Corpse King,” the officer said, looking grim.
What?
Upon hearing this, the expression of all the senior officials present changed dramatically, their faces showing a look of despair.
