Zombie King Babysits the Reborn Empress

Chapter 494: Chapter 505: Power of Space

Time passed.

“Puchi~”

Under the sanguine tongue of Undead One, the last struggling sixth-rank Centaur Commander stiffened. He looked down at his pierced chest, eyes filled with despair, blood spurting from his mouth as he fell helplessly to the ground.

At this moment, under the full-scale attack of the Corpse Tide, the entire Centaur Legion was utterly annihilated, not a single centaur escaped, all turned into lifeless remains on the ground.

The battlefield ground was now soaked in blood, with the bodies of centaurs sprawled in disarray, their blood spreading across the ground, forming pools of crimson.

These pools of blood interconnected, resembling a vast blood lake, emitting a pungent stench.

The pervasive bloody scent spread for unknown miles, quickly drawing in a large number of fierce beasts. However, upon witnessing the endless Corpse Tide, these beasts showed terror on their faces and fled with their tails between their legs at the first opportunity.

“Qiqi, go and extract their Demon Pill!”

Lu Chuan smiled at Ji Ruxue, who was watching the battle from the sky beside him.

He knew the Demon Pills were of great use to Qiqi, so all acquired Demon Pills were basically handed over to Qiqi.

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue’s face was full of smiles, happily rushing towards the corpses of the sixth-rank Centaur Commanders.

Within just two days, more Demon Pills were in stock. This emperor’s energy potion was simply inexhaustible!

Then, Ji Ruxue flew above the centaur corpses, and the telekinesis she emitted transformed into sharp blades, carefully extracting the Demon Pills from within the centaurs and placing them into a pouch at her waist.

After Little Qiqi was done, Lu Chuan again turned his gaze to the bloody ground and directly ordered the Corpse Tide to devour the centaur legion’s bodies.

Although the power of these centaur forces was not as strong as the Frost Giant Wolves, their overall rank was even higher than that batch of Frost Giant Wolves.

This meant that the energy contained in their flesh was considerable, and if the Corpse Tide were to devour them, a large number of Corpse Puppets would definitely ascend in rank.

Rumble~

With Lu Chuan’s command, the previously silent and waiting Corpse Tide instantly boiled, masses of Corpse Puppets swiftly pounced towards the centaurs’ corpses.

For a time, the entire battlefield echoed not only with the roars of Corpse Puppets but with the sounds of flesh tearing and continuous devouring.

Ji Ruxue returned to the convoy with the Demon Pills, while Lu Chuan stood in the sky, quietly waiting for the Corpse Tide to complete their feast.

Although the centaurs were large in size, with thousands piled together appearing immense, compared to the boundless Corpse Tide, it seemed trivial by a considerable margin.

Under the frenzied devouring of the Corpse Tide, within less than a quarter of an hour, only skeletal white thigh bones and hardened skulls remained on the ground, with everything else gnawed away by the Corpse Tide.

“Roar!”

As expected, a few minutes later, four fifth-rank Corpse Puppets successfully ascended to the sixth rank, letting out a satisfied roar, their powerful auras wantonly spreading.

Additionally, more than twenty fourth-rank Corpse Puppets ascended to the fifth rank, while those ascending to the fourth and third ranks were vast in number.

“This isn’t all; it’s estimated that after all the energy within this batch of flesh is digested, many more Corpse Puppets will ascend.”

Seeing the Corpse Puppets below, each ascending in rank, Lu Chuan was extremely satisfied, his gaze flickering with anticipation.

He was eager for more alien corps to crazily attack the Corpse Tide, even if it resulted in over ten thousand casualties, he was willing.

If such abundant alien corpses aided him, the ascension of his Corpse Puppets would be unimaginable.

By then, perhaps having hundreds of sixth-rank Corpse Puppets and thousands of fifth-rank ones wouldn’t be impossible.

Unfortunately, all of this remained a fantasy; the intelligent creatures that survived in the Otherworld were usually very clever.

For most of the way, alien creatures, upon first sight of the Corpse Tide, retreated these thousand miles away, fleeing without a trace.

As a result, so far, apart from the Frost Giant Wolves, these centaurs were the second kind of thick-headed Otherworldly Creatures he encountered.

Seeing the Corpse Tide approaching, instead of avoiding it, they assembled their armies, intending to size up Lu Chuan.

In response, Lu Chuan naturally would not tolerate this and directly maneuvered the Corpse Puppets, surrounding them from all sides, preventing any escape.

“It’s almost time to create the second seventh-rank Corpse Puppet!”

Gazing at the nearly fifty sixth-rank Corpse Puppets, Lu Chuan had already made up his mind, his face brimming with excitement.

Currently, having just one seventh-rank Corpse Puppet was too few for Lu Chuan’s liking.

Through his observations, the frequency of sixth-rank aliens encountered in recent days had been quite high, and he presumed the appearance of seventh-rank aliens was imminent.

Once a seventh-rank alien attacked, without enough seventh-rank Corpse Puppets to counteract, Lu Chuan would have to rely on the massive Corpse Tide to contend against it.

By then, even if he managed to deplete the seventh-rank alien to death, the Corpse Tide under his command would likely suffer heavy losses.

With that, Lu Chuan eagerly leapt into action.

He quickly touched down on the ground, maneuvering Undead One to consecutively slay the four just-ascended sixth-rank Corpse Puppets, extracting the sixth-rank Crystal Cores from them.

After acquiring four sixth-rank Crystal Cores, Lu Chuan summoned Flyer One, who was circling in the sky, down.

Swoosh!

A shadow flashed past with a deafening sound, and Flyer One instantly landed before Lu Chuan, its massive black wings swiftly folded behind it.

Lu Chuan looked at Flyer One before him and directly handed over the four sixth-rank Crystal Cores for it to swallow.

Having integrated the Winged-man’s abilities, Flyer One’s strength had greatly enhanced, especially in terms of flight speed.

If it ascended to the seventh rank this time, its strength would undoubtedly be stronger, and its speed would likely be further enhanced.

While Da Pang, now the first seventh-rank Corpse Puppet under Lu Chuan, was formidable, with immense fighting power, it couldn’t fly — a perfect complement to Flyer One.

“Roar!”

After consuming the Crystal Cores, Flyer One’s transformation began immediately, its body trembling violently, emitting a cry akin to a bird’s roar, with turbulent energy surging from it, raging in all directions.

Sweeping energy rapidly enveloped Flyer One’s body, inducing quick transformation.

Long unknown duration elapsed as the energy storm surrounding Flyer One finally subsided, revealing Flyer One, which had completed its transformation.

“Roar!”

Successfully breaking through to the seventh rank, Flyer One let out a jubilant roar towards the sky, its voice resonating all around, a fearsome seventh-rank aura erupting and engulfing the surroundings.

Lu Chuan, who had been closely observing Flyer One, smiled, only to be astonished by Flyer One’s newly awakened ability.

This time, upon breaking through to the seventh rank, Flyer One acquired the ability to manipulate the power of space, granting it short-range teleportation.
