Chapter 360: Chapter 129: Wang Ge’s mother and the Sacrificial Mother Have Run Into Each Other, Urgent, Waiting Online

This was not fear.

It was the natural submission of a Low Tier being to a High Tier one, the instinctive reverence an Undead Unit holds for a more powerful existence.

Just as a Black Corpse would defer to a Purple Zombie, and an ordinary Purple Zombie would instinctively make way for a Corpse Demon.

And now, before the Profound Corpse, the Corpse Demon’s Soul Fire flickered faintly as it subtly lowered its stance.

Lynch didn’t waste this rare opportunity for a practical test.

He had the Profound Corpse extend its right arm.

Then, using his mental link, he commanded the Corpse Demon to extend its right arm as well.

The two claws, covered in Scale Armor and keratin with thick knuckles, clasped together in mid-air.

*CRACK.*

The first sound.

It was the crisp sound of bone against bone, keratin against keratin, making initial contact.

Lynch had the Profound Corpse slowly increase its strength.

The Corpse Demon instinctively tightened its grip, resisting.

A deep, continuous *CRUNCHING* sound echoed through the quiet room.

It was the groan of muscle fibers stretched to their limit, the wail of fascia and tendons twisting against each other, the overburdened tremor of bones under immense pressure.

Soon, the Corpse Demon’s right arm began to tremble slightly.

The Soul Fire in its eye sockets throbbed wildly. Its body instinctively leaned back, trying to shed the terrifying force that was crushing it down, inch by inch.

But the Profound Corpse’s claw was like an iron hoop... No, even an iron hoop wasn’t this strong. The Corpse Demon’s claw was clamped in its grip, completely unable to budge an inch.

*THUD!*

The Corpse Demon’s left knee slammed heavily onto the stone slab floor.

The floor cracked on impact, the fractures spreading out like a spiderweb from the point where the knee landed.

It was forced to one knee, its right arm still locked with the Profound Corpse’s, but it was completely suppressed, with no way to resist.

The Corpse Demon, which had once been invincible on the battlefield, crushing countless enemies head-on, now bowed its head like a lioness submitting to a lion king, its posture humbled.

’That’s enough.’

With a thought, Lynch had the Profound Corpse release its grip and simultaneously issued a command to the Corpse Demon.

The Profound Corpse reacted faster, letting go of its grip first.

The Corpse Demon reacted half a beat later, but as if granted amnesty, it quickly let go and took three steps back, lowering its head and standing in attendance before Lynch once more.

Its right arm hung by its side, slightly stiff. It seemed to be injured.

Its Soul Fire was still flickering slightly, but it showed no intention of confronting the Profound Corpse again. It looked completely obedient.

Lynch’s main body stood leaning against the wall, an irrepressible smile spreading across his face.

’Tier Five.’

’This Lifebound Profound Corpse is definitely at Tier Five.’

’And because it has already undergone preliminary Profound Yin Body Tempering, its fundamental strength, physical defense, and agility all far surpass those of an ordinary Tier Five unit.’

’More importantly,’

’as long as I’m willing, I can project a part of my consciousness into the Profound Corpse’s body at any time, allowing it to think, judge, and fight autonomously just like my main body.’

’And when I’m not actively controlling it, the Profound Corpse can still rely on the instincts of the Soul Fragment in its Corpse Core to carry out simple combat orders and guard duties. It’s definitely much smarter than the Corpse Demon.’

’And the Profound Corpse’s terrifyingly sharp insight and perception are like hearing and smell—they’re always active, even when I’m not deliberately controlling it.’

Suddenly, Lynch sensed something and turned his head to the side.

There, Esther had snuck in at some point. She was squatting on the lid of a corpse-raising coffin, her bat-like wings folded, her crimson eyes staring unblinkingly at the Profound Corpse.

The little one’s face was filled with vigilance, and a trace of... confusion.

She had been badly beaten by the Abyssal Demon-ified Grom, so she naturally recognized the identity of this corpse.

But now, the corpse had become very strange. Not only was the aura it emitted completely different from the frenzied, violent, mutated monster she remembered, but it also carried the scent of her beloved father.

Esther tilted her small head, a confused whimpering sound coming from her throat.

Lynch ignored her.

He had the Profound Corpse turn around, and then, with another thought...

*WHOOSH—*

A deep, rustling whoosh sounded.

From the Profound Corpse’s back, a pair of demonic, membranous wings suddenly unfurled. Their terrifying, over-eight-meter wingspan was so immense it seemed to block out the sky, a truly shocking sight.

Over the past month and a half of tempering the corpse with Profound Yin Qi, besides shearing Yenogu’s wool every day, Lynch had also been siphoning off a small wisp of Profound Yin Qi specifically to nourish these severely damaged wings.

He hadn’t expected that after a month and a half, the Profound Yin Qi would have already repaired more than half of the wings’ tattered and hole-ridden membranes. The number of holes was now significantly smaller.

’Although these membranous wings are still far from their peak condition, it looks like they should be able to glide, at least... After some more slow and steady repairs, maybe one day it’ll be able to fly properly.’

Seeing this, the little Vampire Esther’s eyes went wide.

She looked down at the small, delicate bat wings on her own back, then looked up at the Profound Corpse’s enormous, sky-blotting wings radiating Evil Qi. Her little mouth puckered, and she fell silent.

Lynch’s main body couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud.

With a thought, he had the Profound Corpse retract its wings.

The Profound Corpse’s huge, demonic membranous wings gave a slight shudder, then slowly folded against its spine, disappearing once again into the folds of Scale Armor behind its shoulder blades.

Lynch was now much better at distinguishing between his main body and the Profound Corpse; he no longer moved them in clumsy, mirrored motions. Now that Lynch wasn’t controlling it, the Profound Corpse stood at a slight distance beside him, its posture relaxed yet vigilant, as if ready to strike at any moment.
