Great Demon Leader: Start By Refining Flying Zombies

Chapter 9: Transcendent Level Mutants

Liang Xiao took out a jade slip from his storage bag and placed it on his forehead, reviewing the steps of refining the Spirit Zombies once again.

According to the description in the jade slip, the leader among the corpses with combat instincts would be selected through mutual battles.

At this moment, all the mutants that had undergone cocooning in the stadium should meet this requirement. Even the existence of claw zombies and giant zombies far exceeded the basic requirements for refining Spirit Zombies.

After all, the minimum requirement in the jade slip was only a hundred corpses, which would probably yield one selection.

However, in Liang Xiao's stadium, there were over a hundred thousand live zombies, and they were all infected with the Transcendent Level virus.

The mutants born from this would be extraordinary in terms of both combat power and potential.

"However, the method of refining my own Spirit Zombies takes a refined approach, which is completely different from the usual path taken by necromancers who control groups of corpses."

Liang Xiao judged that with his current cultivation at the Qi Refining stage, he could at most control one Spirit Zombie. This meant that he had to be extremely cautious in choosing his target this time.

If he had to choose, he would naturally choose the strongest one. These zombies would fight and devour each other, just like nurturing gu insects.

"The one who survives in the end, having assimilated the essence of a hundred thousand zombies, will unleash the most intense potential for evolution. They will undoubtedly be the king among zombies!"

A hint of madness flashed in Liang Xiao's eyes. His spiritual root talent was not good, and he did not come from a cultivation family, lacking any background support.

In a place like the Demon Sect, although he could surpass his peers in the past few years with his experiences and determination before transmigrating, it was only temporary!

Liang Xiao could feel that after breaking through to the third layer of Qi Refining, the effect of the Blood Nightmare Technique, which burned his blood to enhance cultivation speed, had started to weaken significantly.

This was also why Little Ghost Hall held its major competition in the third year.

Because the bonus period of the Blood Nightmare Technique was almost over.

Myriad Demons Cave needed to use the competition to select disciples with excellent talent or enough determination in the Demon Dao.

For those disciples whose talent was not enough and who were reluctant to make efforts to improve their cultivation realm, Myriad Demons Cave, as a demonic sect, would not give them the opportunity to achieve greatness in the future.

They would be eliminated in the first round.

Cruel but true.

"My cultivation realm is currently stagnant, and my methods of combat are limited to the basic spell of Little Ghost Hall, Ghost Shadow Step. Although I have mastered it to perfection, I can't rely on it alone!"

"Last time, I defeated Qi Yunkai and Qi Meng, but there were some tricks involved. If during the competition, Qi Yunkai breaks through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, cultivates other spells, or obtains a Law Weapon, it would be disadvantageous for me!"

While observing the movements of the zombie horde in the stadium, Liang Xiao put away the jade slip and silently pondered about the future matters of the sect.

As for using this opportunity to escape a thousand miles away and leave Myriad Demons Cave, Liang Xiao didn't even consider it.

Because if the sect dared to send him down the mountain before the competition, it meant they were not worried about him escaping. The preparatory disciples within the sect had a blood tracking technique.

It was a spell that could track based on bloodline aura. Even if he escaped thousands of miles away, he would still be caught by the sect's law enforcement cultivators, and the outcome would be extremely miserable.

Moreover, even if he managed to escape capture, as an independent cultivator, he was like a floating duckweed, without any financial resources or connections, far inferior to the sect cultivators.

Soon, several hours passed, and Liang Xiao opened his eyes from his feigned sleep. The large stadium was now filled with gruesome bloodstains.

It was as if it had turned into a purgatory, with a strong stench of death and decay that made it hard to breathe.

Even Liang Xiao couldn't help but tear off a piece of cloth soaked in medicinal liquid and wrap it around his mouth and nose to avoid being overwhelmed.

However, in contrast, the previously crowded stadium now appeared quite empty.

The ordinary zombies no longer existed; they either turned into scattered bones and blood mud or successfully cocooned, becoming more powerful hunters.

Liang Xiao's gaze swept across the entire field and discovered that only three astonishing mutants were still occupying their respective territories, confronting each other like fierce beasts, unwilling to reveal any weaknesses easily.

Those mutated creatures, although they have undergone several changes, Liang Xiao can still recognize their prototypes.

First is the most astonishing Claw Zombie, with the advantage of being the first to mutate, it is the zombie that has consumed the most monster flesh.

Then, it has consecutively killed several mutated zombies. It has now mutated three times, with a more slender body and an extremely fast speed that even Liang Xiao needs to focus his eyes to see clearly.

The existence on its arms is like blade-like claws, and sparks are splashing as they rub against each other.

It no longer resembles biological material, it is extraordinary.

Next is the Giant Zombie. Because it evolved later, it did not obtain as much monster flesh as the Claw Zombie.

However, it has killed and consumed the most mutated creatures, devouring the cores of more than twenty mutated creatures. Its frontal combat ability is extremely strong.

This has made its current level of mutation quite high, with a body size of five zhang, and its palms are the size of small grinding discs. With each step, it feels like a heavy tank is passing by, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Lastly, there is the flesh and blood flower in the northern area. Although it is eerie, its main body does not move. Liang Xiao originally thought that this thing would be torn apart by the zombie horde soon, but unexpectedly, it survived until the end.

This thing is like a spider web, and it resembles the vascular tissue of plant roots, extending throughout the entire ground and walls of the northern area.

The central flesh and blood flower has grown several times from its initial size of a water tank, and two people cannot even embrace it.

Perhaps there are no more prey for this flesh and blood flower to devour, so it has transitioned from blooming to closing, becoming a huge flower bud.

The outer petals still bear fierce claw marks, and Liang Xiao can immediately tell that they are the work of the Claw Zombie.

"It has low defense and a strange ability, but this form is not very suitable for refining into a life zombie. What a pity!"

Liang Xiao secretly evaluates. This flesh and blood flower is the most difficult for him to understand. Although it grows quietly, judging from the Claw Zombie's failure and the Giant Zombie's hidden fear, its strength should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately, this form seems more suitable for being placed outside the Cave Mansion to defend against external enemies.

It is simply not suitable for refining into a spiritual zombie and accompanying him in his battles.

His focus is more on the mutated forms of the Giant Zombie and the Claw Zombie.

Both of them have their advantages and no obvious flaws. They can definitely be refined into extremely powerful zombies.

According to the records in the Myriad Demons Cave, the quality of zombies, from low to high, are the Iron-Armored Zombie, Bronze-Armored Zombie, Silver-Armored Zombie, Gold-Armored Zombie, and the highest level, the Flying Yaksha, also known as the Flying Zombie!

The rarity of the Flying Yaksha is not inferior to the Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators among cultivators, but that is not the focus for now.

Based on the situation of the Giant Zombie and the Claw Zombie, as long as they are refined properly, they can at least become a Silver-Armored Zombie, and directly achieving a Gold-Armored Zombie is also possible.

"The success of my planning these past few days depends on this final result!"

Liang Xiao feels that it is about time and takes out the valuable High Grade Corpse Demon Pill.

Then he secretly activates the method of refining spiritual zombies, a trace of ruthlessness flashes in his eyes. He bites his tongue, spits out a mouthful of blood, and completely merges it with the dragon eye-sized Corpse Demon Pill.

The Corpse Demon Pill is the most effective Spirit Pill for refining zombies. Liang Xiao's pill is still High Grade, perfectly potent.

Unlike those useless pills with huge and mixed medicinal effects, the medicinal power of the Corpse Demon Pill will perfectly transform the materials into zombies.

The most important thing is that the medicinal power will shape the unique Yin Meridians of the zombies, allowing them to become stronger by continuously absorbing Yin Qi.

"Go, engage in the final battle. The winner will consume the Corpse Demon Pill and follow me to conquer the Immortal Cultivation World. The loser will become nourishment, returning to dust and soil!"

Liang Xiao throws the Corpse Demon Pill in his hand, landing between the Giant Zombie and the Claw Zombie, a distance away from the eerie flesh and blood flower.

But what Liang Xiao never expected happened. The blood vessel that the flesh and blood flower extended over, which originally lay on the ground like plant roots, suddenly moved like a shark smelling blood. It autonomously moved at an extremely fast speed, passing through an afterimage, and accurately entangled the Corpse Demon Pill emitting strong spiritual energy!

"Oh no!!!"

Liang Xiao's expression changed for the first time. The flesh and blood flower unexpectedly revealed its cunning in front of him. Its root system possesses extremely strong mobility!
