Chapter 333: Difficult Closure
Everyone sat in the hall, and Shi Chiyan also learned about the hole cards of Zombie Emperor and Zombie Wuchang.
Zombie Wuchang's parents prepared a shadow puppet powerhouse in the early stage of the Hades Emperor for her, and the Zombie Wudi recruited a Shura clan in the late stage of the Hades through the relationship left by his parents before his death.
Shi Chi Di once encountered the Shadow Golem, who were not very capable of going head-to-head, and were better at hiding in the shadows and controlling other creatures through possession.
As for the Shura clan, this is a strong race second only to the zombie clan, the bull head clan, and the horse face clan, and the Rakshasa clan are called the two major battle races, if it weren't for its population being too scarce, I'm afraid that they can already rank among the strong clans, and the zombies, bull heads, and horse faces are called the three clans.
Although the name is inferior, the actual combat ability of the Shura clan is not weak at all, and a Shura in the late stage of the Hades Emperor, once it enters the combat state, is enough to match the ordinary early stage of the Hades Emperor.
In addition to these two people, there are twenty or thirty masters of various clans under the command of Emperor Zombie and Emperor Zombie Wuchang, most of them are zombie clans of their own clan, but their cultivation is weak and strong, and the strong ones are at the peak of the Hades Master, and the weak ones are only in the early stage of the Hades.
With the narration of the two, Shi Chiyan's understanding of this big competition gradually became clear.
Although on the surface, these candidates can rely on the relationship of the family behind them to attract super strong people to participate in the war, but the purpose of the zombie clan to hold this big competition is to select those talented descendants, not to make the strong and weak differentiation within the clan more huge, so the ancestor generals also personally issued a decree that all those who have reached Hades or above can only participate in the war as subordinates.
This alone is enough to erase nine out of nine people.
Although the top powerhouses in the ghost world are comparable to the underworld, they can only cultivate by extracting the underworld qi in the water of the Styx River after being at the underworld, so there are not many masters in the middle range, and the huge ghost realm may not exceed one million when it reaches the underworld or above.
It looks like there are a lot of them, but if you zoom in on the entire ghost realm, then there may not be one of these million powerhouses scattered for hundreds of millions of miles.
Scarcity is precious, and it is precisely because of the scarcity of the number that those who can cultivate to the Underworld Monarch have a status that cannot be compared with ordinary ghosts.
What's more, this kind of identity is equivalent to becoming the slave of the other party, and these contestants are only half-step Hades Master when they break through the sky, and it is simply humiliating to let a strong person of the level of Hades and Hades Emperor become the servants of these people.
Therefore, even if this kind of big competition is held countless times, the number of times that the strong people of Hades or above participate in it are only a handful.
What's more, this is a candidate for the patriarch of the zombie clan.
Once you participate, it is equivalent to being involved in the internal struggle of the zombie clan. If you have a backer behind you like Niu Sanshan and Ma Khan Blood, it's better to say that if it's just a loose cultivator or not strong, it is easy to incur the revenge of those defeated candidates.
The zombie clan, the head of the three powerful clans, even if it is only one of tens of thousands of branches, is not something that ordinary forces can compete with.
Everyone discussed in the hall for more than three hours, and Shi Chi Yan also had a thorough understanding of this big competition, which also made him secretly laugh at himself and was frightened by the countless strong people in Jushan Pass and Purple Mountain City, thinking that this big competition would involve strong people like Hades Venerable and Hades Emperor.
The soul path is compatible with the two paths of ghosts and underworlds, and Shi Chi Yan relied on the candle dragon supernatural power to control the law of opposites, and he was born to restrain all ghosts, with his current strength of a half-step underworld, it is enough to compete with the peak of the underworld, and if he summons the Styx projection again, he may be able to break his wrist with the Hades level.
Of course, when everyone was discussing, Ma Khan also specially reminded Shi Chi that Styx's status in the ghost world was extraordinary, and his ability to summon the projection of Styx must not be exposed, otherwise it would be easy to provoke the giant's action and try to know how he could influence Styx.
After the discussion, Emperor Zombie and Emperor Zombie went home to prepare the final matters, while Shi Chi Yan and the others stayed in the post house of the Niutou clan, taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days to spend time to completely master the realm that had just broken through.
Led by Niu Ling, Shi Chi Yan came to the secret room under the post house, this is a cultivation room specially set up for the Niutou clan, so the area and height are extremely scary, unless Shi Chi Yan is an inflated soul body, otherwise just entering with his one-meter-eight body is like an ant entering the human bedroom, which is very empty.
After explaining the use of the cultivation room, Niu Ling closed the door and left, and Shi Chi Yan soared up and landed on a dark altar in the center of the secret room.
This is also an altar made according to the physique of the Minotaur clan, and it is undoubtedly quite huge for Shi Chi Di, but fortunately, he is now an energy body, and with a movement of his mind, the true form of the soul body that was originally the size of an ordinary person suddenly expanded, and the time of counting breaths has been huge to a height of seven meters, although it is still not as high as a twenty-meter-high secret room, but it is also much more comfortable than before.
After moving his body, Shi Chi Yan first adapted to the size of seven meters, and then sat down cross-legged, according to Niu Ling's description, cast a spell to activate the altar under him, and suddenly stripes of dark color spirit patterns emerged from the surface of the altar, flowing around like living creatures, or connecting with each other to form runes, or constantly spreading, activating the spirit patterns in the distance.
However, in an instant, the huge secret room was completely submerged in the dark color brilliance, and the rolling earth qi was attracted by the formation, and all of them rushed into the body of Chi Chi along the altar, and the huge impact at that moment almost made Shi Chi die's soul body burst, but he reacted quickly enough to decisively run the "Soul Yan", and at the same time, the soul consciousness continued to sweep over the body, refining the surging earth qi, and evenly classifying it into all parts of the soul body.
This secret room is specially used by the Minotaur Clan to temper the physique, although Shi Chi Di is strong in soul and body, and he can compete with the Minotaur Clan of the same level, but it is due to the strength of his true spirit, not that the soul body itself is comparable to the Minotaur Clan.
However, with the continuous influx of this massive amount of earth qi, Shi Chi Xuan's sudden breakthrough of the soul body that was still a little "empty" gradually "enriched", although the majestic earth qi contained a rich yin qi, but after the purification of "Soul Yan", these yin qi did not interfere with the stability of his soul body at all, but was completely dissolved by the soul power.
The underworld is from the peak of the palm sea or the breakthrough of the underworld, just after the baptism of the heavenly calamity, the ghost power in the body has not yet been completely transformed into the underworld, only by constantly absorbing the underworld, little by little to wash away the traces of the original ghost power, so if you want to advance to the peak of the underworld, you must convert all the original ghost power into the underworld.
Shi Chi died with a soul in his body, and the ghost and the underworld were one, so naturally he didn't need this step, which was also the reason why he would break through to the half-step underworld master in one go.
And if you want to advance to the rank of Hades Master, you must condense the soul domain as one and reach the realm of unbreakable.
After the ghost monks became the underworld, the soul body and the soul domain were the key points of their combat power, the soul body was composed of the underworld force, and the soul domain was driven by divine consciousness, although the two were also derived from the true spirit, but they belonged to energy and spirit.
The pinnacle of the pluto is to completely transform the energy into the power of the underworld, which belongs to the sublimation of the energy level; The pinnacle of the underworld master is to shrink and condense the soul domain to form a golden pill similar to that of cultivators and Taoists.
For cultivators and Taoists, the golden pill is just a low-level thing, but for the ghost path monks, this "Immortal Pill" is the key thing after the underworld, and many of the techniques cultivated in the future will be engraved in this golden pill, as the foundation for advancing to the rank of the Immortal Emperor in the future.
Therefore, sometimes, this elixir is also called the elixir of life.
It's just an ordinary ghost monk, even after being promoted to the underworld level, the soul domain is mostly 10,000 square meters, but even if Shi Chi dies for the first time, the condensed soul domain is also as huge as one million square meters, and with the promotion to the underworld level now, the soul domain has expanded to 10 million square meters, and it is a big problem to completely collect the soul domain of this scale and condense it into one point.
Therefore, even with the help of the pressure of the huge earth qi in the secret room, until the beginning of the big competition, the soul domain was only gathered to more than 7 million square meters, which was still 108,000 kilometers away from complete condensation.
Casting spells to stop the operation of the altar, Shi Chi Yan frowned slightly, and then smiled, his cultivation speed has been hundreds of times faster than others, and now that he has reached the underworld level, there is no pressure from the Dao Gate, maybe it's time to slow down a little and polish the foundation.
As soon as his mind moved, Shi Chi Yan, who was originally seven meters tall, suddenly shook his body, and shrank inch by inch, turning into the original one meter eight, but he suddenly thought that Yu Lewei had one meter seven, and immediately pulled out his head, and pulled five centimeters higher out of thin air.
Looking at himself at one meter eighty-five, Shi Chiyan nodded with satisfaction, the difference was fifteen centimeters, half of the most cute height difference, enough.
After looking left and right, and seeing that there was no problem, Shi Chi Di left the cultivation room directly.
At this time, Yu Lewei, Ma Khan Xue, Niu Sanshan and others had already gathered in the front hall, and Shi Chi Yan had just come over, and he had already found that the disaster phoenix on Yu Lewei's shoulders was a little different.
Seeing him thoughtfully, the Calamity Phoenix raised its wings triumphantly and said with a cruel smile: "That's right, your Grandma Calamity Phoenix has already broken through to the Hades Master!" ”
Shi Chi was speechless, grabbed it with his hand, and the soul power penetrated ten meters, and the two methods of instantaneous void and countercurrent were intertwined into a net, and he imprisoned the disaster phoenix and dragged it in front of him, and then his hands lit up black and white respectively, and the disaster phoenix was rubbed with a meal, until it was rubbed all over the feathers, and then it was thrown away and the imprisonment was lifted.
Boom! As soon as he got out of trouble, the angry and corrupt Disaster Phoenix let out an angry roar, but before it could fight back, Shi Chiyan had already looked over with a smile, and the sharp color flashed at the bottom of his eyes, and he was so frightened that the Disaster Phoenix was stagnant in mid-air, and it took a long time to fall back unwillingly on Yu Lewei's shoulder.
The two methods of time and space! Yin and Yang in one!
As soon as Shi Chi Yan Fang made a move, he cast two top-notch spells, and he instantly controlled the calamity phoenix in the middle stage of the underworld, making the surrounding Niu Sanshan and Ma Khan blood followers look awe-inspiring, completely dispelling the doubts in their hearts.
As for Niu Sanshan, Ma Khan Xue, Yu Lewei and others, they didn't care at all, and they didn't do it for a long time, they were used to it.
The reason why the disaster phoenix has been following them is mainly due to the contractual relationship, and the ferocity in the bones of this demon bird has not changed at all, and the slightest carelessness can easily become a thorn in the back, so as soon as Shi Chi Yan found out the clue, he taught him a lesson, so that he understood that the hope of escaping his clutches was zero.
Because he is a human race, Shi Chiyan did not go to the forefront, but was led by Niu Sanshan and Ma Khan Blood, and he and Yu Lewei, Cao Hong, and Zhong Wushu all sat on the back of the black blade, mixed in the middle of the Niu and Ma people, and rushed all the way to the ancestral land of the zombie clan.
There are the bull-headed clan and the horse-faced clan in the town, and they have gone extremely smoothly along the way, and the yin spirits and ghosts and beasts they met on the road are all scattered and avoided, even if it is the zombie clan as the landlord, they are not too embarrassed, but pass by them very peacefully.
Along the way, Shi Chi Yan also saw countless ghost creatures walking on the street in groups, moving in the same direction as them, and most of them were undoubtedly participating teams like them.
Not long after, the group had already left Purple Mountain City, and along a wide avenue paved with purple pulp yin copper, it took nearly half an hour for everyone to finally arrive at the ancestral land of the zombie clan.
The place where the hell breath is the thickest in the Nine Secluded Valley, the mountain where the ancestor of the zombie clan was born, and the Zombie Ancestral Ridge.
