Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 194 - 161: The Fall of the Grand Ancestor

On the bronze carriage, the Ancestral Zombie was carefully sensing the spiritual qi fluctuations around, gazing into the distance.

"Spiritual qi... revival?"

"The aura of spiritual qi here has surpassed that of three hundred years ago, no wonder I would awaken at this time."

"The current emperor has already been killed by me, as my descendant, he should naturally become my sustenance."

"Once I return to the Capital City, and devour my bloodline completely, I can cultivate the Spirit Corpse Body and embark on the path of a zombie!"

"By then, I will possess eternal life, establishing the Eternal Dynasty on this land!"

"Hahaha, kakaka..."

The Ancestral Zombie opened its mouth, laughing deeply.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!!"

At this moment, a sudden massive explosion came from a distance.

He instinctively looked up, only to find countless black spheres hurling towards them.

"What is that...?"

Before he could search his memory about these black dots, the spheres had already violently struck upon Celestial Longevity Mountain.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!!"

A series of violent explosions erupted immediately, and the terracotta army originally lined up neatly on Celestial Longevity Mountain, charging down the mountain, was instantly blown apart, reduced to debris.

Even the Ancestral Zombie himself was accidentally caught by the blast waves, being blown off the carriage in a sorry state.

While still midair, the body of the Ancestral Zombie flew up, roaring consecutively.

A sudden surge of black fog emerged beneath his feet, lifting the Ancestral Zombie rapidly into the air.

"Damn... what is this?"

"Celestial Thunder Seed? I’ve been ambushed...!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!!"

Before he could react, another round of shells flew toward him.

With a movement of thought, dense corpse qi surged once again, transforming into a black smoke that enveloped him, darting in the direction from which the black dots came.

Glancing down, he saw the puppet army, constructed nearly three hundred years ago at the expense of the entire nation’s wealth, blown apart by these inexplicable black spheres.

Some terracotta warriors were even

He quickly discovered something.

Beneath Celestial Longevity Mountain, lay densely packed military forces.

And behind the army, strange weapons lined up row by row.

It was precisely these weapons that had fired a large number of black spheres, reducing his laboriously constructed terracotta burial army to ruins.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

In those days, he, his cultivation stagnated due to the descent of blood rain and the tide of spiritual qi.

That’s why he chose to conquer the world, to become the supreme sovereign.

Later, he spent the nation’s full strength searching for materials to build his imperial mausoleum, intent on specializing in the body of a zombie, waiting quietly for countless years until the spiritual qi revival.

And these terracotta warriors were the guardian puppets he forged with the nation’s full strength.

Unexpectedly, they were so easily destroyed by these weapons made by mortals?

"Mortals...!"

He roared in fury, his massive form carrying dense corpse qi as he lunged towards the ground.

"Who are you, I am the Great Yu Ancestor, Emperor Zhengyong has perished, yet you still do not hurry to..."

"Fire!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

At once, countless bullets shot toward the Ancestral Zombie, forming a steel barrier midair, enveloping him entirely.

"Puff!"

"Puff puff!"

In an instant, more than a dozen bloody holes appeared on his body, with viscous black blood continuously flowing out.

"Damn... these despicable mortals, dare to...!"

At this moment, he suddenly sensed a gust of wind behind him and instinctively turned around.

But it was too late!

Chen Liancang’s ghostly figure had already appeared behind the Ancestral Zombie, pressing a fierce palm upon the back of the Ancestral Zombie’s heart.

Having been lurking until now, seizing the chance while the Ancestral Zombie was heavily wounded by artillery, Chen Liancang launched a stealthy assault!

"Roar... damn servant, you court death...!"

The Ancestral Zombie roared, swinging around towards Chen Liancang.

But Chen Liancang had already evaded, drawing a soft sword, and immediately tangled with the Ancestral Zombie.

Seeing the one-on-one battle not far away between the person and the corpse, Zheng Yi slowly shook his head.

This Ancestral Zombie... truly disappointed him.

He had assumed this figure hidden within the Grand Ancestor was exceptionally strong, unexpectedly finding that his overall strength was only around the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Even one Chen Liancang could entangle him to some extent.

Zheng Yi turned and said, "You go help Elder Chen."

Behind him stood several individuals, all elite warriors from the Imperial Guard and Shadow Guard.

At Zheng Yi’s command, they were about to move, but were hastily stopped by the arriving Hu Bafeng.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! Never let martial artists engage in close combat!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

Hu Bafeng wiped the blood and sweat from his body and said, "Zombies feed on blood, the more blood they consume, the stronger they become."

"Originally, when he first appeared, he was in the form of a withered corpse, but now he already somewhat resembles a human. If he absorbs more human blood, especially the essence blood of martial artists, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds!"

Zheng Yi’s eyes gleamed as he said, "So, this is his weakest moment?"

"Yes..."

"You all stay here, also, make the Imperial Guard slowly retreat."

"Understood!"

The assembled generals responded in unison, going off to deliver the orders.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi gazed distantly at the Ancestral Zombie, who was forcing Chen Liancang into a sorry state, and his mind stirred.

In an instant, five blood-red insect shadows appeared in front of him.

"Go, kill him!"

"Zhi zhi zhi...!"

As soon as the words fell, these five Blood Moon Gu spread three pairs of wings, swiftly flying toward the Ancestral Zombie.

At this point, Chen Liancang, who was already dangerously forced by the Ancestral Zombie, dodged a claw, and his soft sword immediately thrust towards the eyes of the Ancestral Zombie.

The Ancestral Zombie’s body was as hard as steel, impervious to swords and guns, immune to water and fire, except for those eyes, which were its weakness.

After several attempts, Chen Liancang’s attacks were almost all aimed at its eyes.

"Roar!"

The Ancestral Zombie roared, shaking its head to dodge the soft sword, simultaneously clawing toward Chen Liancang’s chest.

"Damn servant!"

Chen Liancang’s face changed dramatically, trying to dodge but it was too late.

As the Ancestral Zombie’s claw was about to reach his chest, his clothing suddenly burst open, and two crimson light points shot out.

One light point bit into the Ancestral Zombie’s claw, while the other rushed toward its head.

"Roar!"

The intense pain struck, and even with the Spirit Corpse Body, the Ancestral Zombie couldn’t help but let out a scream, quickly retreating, and swung its right hand furiously, throwing off a blood-colored light point.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Squeak squeak squeak...!"

It was then he realized, the things that rushed out from Chen Liancang’s clothing were actually two blood-colored insects the size of infant fists!

"Spirit Insects...?"

"Tier One Mid-stage Spirit Insects!"

The Ancestral Zombie roared, "How could you have Spirit Insects!"

Chen Liancang glanced towards Zheng Yi’s direction, his eyes full of excitement.

This is the Blood Moon Gu, Spirit Insects cultivated by Your Majesty.

Unexpectedly, they were given to me for self-defense!

"Squeak squeak squeak...!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

At this moment, another piercing screech came from afar.

Five more Blood Moon Gu drew five streaks of blood light and charged at him!

"Spirit Insects! How is that possible!"

The Ancestral Zombie’s blood-red pupils widened greatly, as if seeing something unbelievable.

"Survivors of the Mayfly Sect!?"

"Are there survivors of the Mayfly Sect here?"

"Damn it..."

Under the Spiritual Qi Tide, how could anyone cultivate a Tier One Mid-stage Spirit Insect."

In panic, the five Blood Moon Gu had already reached him, opening their mouths to viciously tear at him.

The two Spirit Insects that rushed out from Chen Liancang’s clothing also reached his body, beginning to bite.

"Ah...!"

The Ancestral Zombie screamed, slapping his hands constantly on his body.

But the seven Spirit Insects had already latched onto him, tearing at his flesh, trying to burrow into his body.

Despite his Spirit Corpse Body, as hard as steel, impervious to blades and bullets, he couldn’t stop the Blood Moon Gu from biting.

"Damn Spirit Insects! Damn survivors of the Mayfly Sect!"

"I will make you all perish!"

"Spiritual Yin Corpse Fire!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, a large amount of blood surged from the Ancestral Zombie’s body.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, even the wounds on the body.

The blood was thick like mud, instantly sticking the seven Spirit Insects on him.

At the same time, gray flames erupted along the blood, engulfing the seven Blood Moon Gu including himself, burning fiercely.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Squeak squeak squeak...!"

The seven Blood Moon Gu emitted a series of hissing sounds, flying and struggling in the Spiritual Yin Corpse Fire.

But even so, they didn’t die, instead trying to extinguish the corpse fire on them.

Some Blood Moon Gu, under the blaze of the Corpse Fire, were aroused with ferocity, fearlessly biting the Ancestral Zombie.

"Hmm?"

The Ancestral Zombie’s eyes changed again.

"Not afraid of Corpse Fire? Such spirituality and life force, this insect must have been refined by a cultivator with essence blood, the Blood Sacrifice Technique!"

"Damn it... where did such a madman come from, using the Blood Sacrifice Technique to refine Spirit Insects to Tier One Mid-stage, at least expending ten years of lifespan!"

"Seven Spirit Insects, that’s nearly a hundred years of lifespan!"

"Madmen... all madmen!"

He roared, and even more Spiritual Yin Corpse Fire erupted from his body, almost materializing, pressing the seven Blood Moon Gu firmly, burning furiously.

"Burn you to death! Burn all of you to ashes, hahaha..."

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Suddenly, a feeble yet sharp screeching sound came from inside the Ancestral Zombie’s head, he quickly turned around and shouted, "Who! Who’s there?"

Strangely, there was no one behind him, it was very empty.

Just as he was filled with bewilderment, a sensation of itching overcame him.

He subconsciously reached out to slap his head, only to feel something squirming flesh creeping across it.

He grabbed it fiercely and pulled it down.

Upon opening his hand, he realized it wasn’t squirming flesh, but a... Blood Moon Gu!

A Blood Moon Gu covered in viscous blood and brain matter, still feasting voraciously.

This Blood Moon Gu was precisely the one Zheng Yi placed in Zheng Yuantao’s body.

Seizing the moment when the Ancestral Zombie was drawing blood from Zheng Yuantao, before regaining all memory, it stealthily entered its body.

Until now, it crawled into the Ancestral Zombie’s head, breaking the surface!

Despite its steel-hard, blade-proof skin, the zombie was still a creature of flesh and blood.

And a Blood Moon Gu had bored into it, biting and climbing all the way, riddling its insides with wounds.

Especially its brain, the heavily injured Ancestral Zombie immediately felt darkness before its eyes, almost collapsing.

The brain being bitten immediately interrupted the Ancestral Zombie’s Spiritual Yin Corpse Fire, allowing those seven Blood Moon Gu to escape.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

At this moment, the other seven Blood Moon Gu suppressed by the Spiritual Yin Corpse Fire sprang free, all rushing toward the Ancestral Zombie, biting its body frantically.

"Ah...!"

"You scoundrels! I am the Great Yu Ancestor... Ah!"

"Guards, protect me...!"

The screams and the sounds of biting continued, the Ancestral Zombie’s body heavily thumped on the ground.

In the distance, protected by Imperial Guard in the center, Zheng Yi scratched his ear and said blandly, "The Great Yu Ancestor?"

"Did any of you hear anything just now?"

"Your Majesty, we heard nothing!"
