Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress - Chapter 548 559: Return to Li River Base City!

Time passed bit by bit, and after having seen a farm overgrown with weeds, Lu Chuan, along with Ji Ruxue, headed straight back to the Li River Base City.

Approaching the edge of the Li River, the Corps Puppet army controlled by Lu Chuan suddenly halted.

It wasn’t that the wide Li River was a barrier for the Corps Puppet army, but after devouring a large amount of alien flesh, several seventh-order Corps Puppets under Lu Chuan’s command began to ascend to the eighth order.

“Good, good, good, with this, the eighth-order Corps Puppets under my command are about to break ten!”

In the Corps Puppet army, watching as Undead One, Water Manipulation One, and other Corps Puppets ascended to the eighth order, Lu Chuan was extremely satisfied, a bright smile spreading across his face.

One must know that eighth-order Corps Puppets are rare, even now they are as precious as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Along the way, the alien Insect Race encountered could reach the eighth order; altogether, there were no more than ten.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but take out a bag from the Heaven-Swallowing Pot, a thoughtful look appearing on his face as he gazed at the six eighth-order Crystal Cores inside.

These eighth-order Crystal Cores were basically accumulated by hunting Sea Beasts back and forth in the East Sea.

With these eighth-order Crystal Cores, he could already consider advancing to the ninth order.

“Once back at the Base City, I’ll begin the ascension process. By then, I won’t even fear facing a large number of the Void Royal Race!”

Lu Chuan’s gaze was firm, instantly making up his mind.

The individual strength of the Void Royal Race was very powerful; if thousands were to come, honestly speaking, even Lu Chuan’s Corps Puppet army might not be able to wipe them out.

After all, among the Void Royal Race, the proportion of eighth-order individuals was high, with often three or four out of a hundred reaching the eighth order, each one extremely troublesome.

It wasn’t easy to deal with using swarm tactics, especially with a large number of eighth-order Void Royals.

And only by breaking through to the ninth order himself could Lu Chuan disregard these Void Royal Race.

Just then, Ji Ruxue returned from ahead, looking at Water Manipulation One and other Corps Puppets, whose aura had changed greatly, and said with a smile, “Dad, congratulations on your zombies breaking through to the eighth order!

By the way, the bridge is built, we can go over now.”

Ji Ruxue turned, pointing to the river surface ahead.

On the river surface in front, an expansive stone bridge, condensed by Ji Ruxue’s Telekinesis, spanned from south to north.

Upon hearing, Lu Chuan gazed at the stone bridge, nodding slightly.

“Let’s go! Once we cross the bridge, we’re home.”

Then, the two of them got into the SUV one after the other, following behind the Corps Puppet army, crossing the stone bridge, and reaching the other side.

Not far from the other side was the former Li River city district, but the zombies in the district had long been absorbed by Lu Chuan, leaving it a deathly stillness.

Lu Chuan had no intention of passing through the city district, leading the Corps Puppet army quickly toward the Base City.

Before long, the Base City with towering walls was in sight from afar.

“Roar～”

Just then, an excited roar came from the distance, followed by a slight, continuous tremor of the ground.

A huge purple figure, like a meatball, was seen rushing rapidly towards the Corps Puppet army.

It was none other than Thunderous Roar, who had been ordered to guard the Base City.

Feeling Ji Ruxue’s return through their connection, Thunderous Roar got excited and rushed to welcome her.

Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue naturally perceived the commotion immediately.

“This guy, without anyone feeding it, how come it seems fatter than a month ago!”

Watching Thunderous Roar, resembling a rolling meatball on the ground, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, wondering if Thunderous Roar had been eating pig feed to grow so rapidly.

“It’s Thunderous Roar!”

Ji Ruxue smiled as she saw Thunderous Roar approaching, leaped out of the car swiftly, and rushed towards Thunderous Roar.

“Hehe, it’s good of you, fatty, to have the heart to come out and greet me!”

Ji Ruxue flew to Thunderous Roar and affectionately rubbed its big head with her hand, speaking contentedly.

“Roar～～”

Excited to see its master again, Thunderous Roar nuzzled Ji Ruxue’s palm affectionately.

Seeing this, Ji Ruxue immediately reached out with both hands, hugged Thunderous Roar’s fluffy large head, showing her affection.

“Dad, I’ll go back with this guy first!”

Then, sitting on Thunderous Roar’s back, Ji Ruxue turned around and waved at Lu Chuan.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Thunderous Roar roared excitedly, carrying its master back quickly to the Base City.

By now, Thunderous Roar, who had ventured far into the seventh-order realm, moved incredibly swiftly, reaching the entrance of the Li River Base City in a few minutes with Ji Ruxue.

Ji Ruxue did not choose to return to the previous villa right away but instead patted the Bodhi Tree Crown on her head, deciding to find a home for this Bodhi Tree first.

Although the Bodhi Tree could transform into a crown-like lifeless state, in this crown state, the Bodhi Tree came to a complete halt in growth, with no effect of Enlightenment.

Next, Thunderous Roar carried Ji Ruxue to the back of the Base City, where the land was flat, and the space was expansive, which was perfect for replanting the Bodhi Tree.

Soon, Ji Ruxue found a place near the man-made pond and called to the remaining Thunderous Roar, bringing it to a halt.

Next, using Telekinesis, Ji Ruxue transformed her power into a massive, seemingly indestructible hand that fiercely grabbed down, creating a giant pit in the ground.

Confirming that the pit was of a suitable size, Ji Ruxue used her Telekinesis to activate the seemingly lifeless Bodhi Tree Crown.

In an instant, the golden treasure light from the Bodhi Tree Crown was dazzling, fully revealing a golden Spirit Root before her eyes.

Then, with a thought, Ji Ruxue successfully placed the Bodhi Tree into the pit, quickly using Telekinesis again to backfill the pit for the Bodhi Tree.

Instantly, the originally withered leaves of the Bodhi Tree burst with vitality as it entered the ground, with a radiant golden light expanding outward in waves.

Subsequently, Ji Ruxue eagerly sat beneath the Bodhi Tree, basking in the golden holy light.

Gradually, the dense Power of Law began to flow around Ji Ruxue, quickly immersing her in the comprehension of the Power of Law.

During this process, Ji Ruxue was in a semi-conscious state, deeply overwhelmed by the Power of Law.

However, at the same time, the aura around Ji Ruxue began to rise steadily, her cultivation rapidly advancing, soon reaching the peak of the eighth order.

Sensing the ninth-order barrier, as solid as rock, Ji Ruxue chose not to forcefully attempt the ascension, simply giving up.

For an Evolver, ascending to the ninth order is not so easily achievable!
