"KILL!"
The lid of the coffin and the seals upon it were completely intact.
But from within the coffin came this sharp, commanding shout, instantly rousing the zombie generals, disregarding the holy light’s suppression, they desperately charged at Alex once more.
"ROAR!"
This time, a sharp dragon roar echoed out.
A massive golden dragon manifested, coiling around Alex’s body. The attacks of the zombie generals were directly swept away by a flick of the giant dragon’s tail, leaving them completely unable to resist.
"This... what kind of technique is this now?!" Noah stared blankly, feeling as if he had become a country bumpkin who understood absolutely nothing.
The Grave-Digging Ghost also wore a look of astonishment. "I did not expect Master’s body to actually possess the legendary Dragon Blood Dark Yellow Saint Body!"
"The spiritual energy of the Great Yellow Dragon envelops Master’s eight extraordinary meridians, protecting his safety."
"With such top-tier defensive power, no wonder these ordinary zombies fundamentally cannot harm a single hair on Master’s head!"
Under the dual protection of the Buddhist Dharma idol and the body-protecting divine dragon, Alex was practically an impregnable fortress.
The dozens of zombie generals surrounded him, stomping their feet in anger, but unable to do anything.
If they rashly charged forward, they would instantly be absorbed by the Buddhist divine ability on Alex’s body, or directly swallowed by the body-protecting divine dragon.
Not daring to step forward, they could only watch helplessly as Alex rapidly absorbed the Profound Ice Spirit Core under dual protection.
A moment later, the entire Profound Ice Spirit Core was completely absorbed into Alex’s body. He felt as if he had drunk a massive amount of ice water, leaving half of his dantian completely enveloped in cold currents, his original spiritual energy and internal force were squeezed to the other side, creating a clean fifty-fifty split.
In other words, the power hidden within this Profound Ice Spirit Core was shockingly almost entirely equal to the energy he had previously possessed at the peak of the Supreme Realm.
"This power... is truly formidable!"
Looking at the bone-chilling cold lingering at his fingertips, Alex’s eyes could not help but gleam brightly.
"To think the Four Great Ancient Zombie Kings actually possessed such formidable power."
"This is truly an unexpected harvest!"
In the original novel, the performance of the Four Great Zombie Kings was not actually considered strong.
Aside from possessing immortality, it once made people feel they were just absolute noobs.
Incredibly aura farming but zero actual showing in the plot.
But looking at it now, he realized it was his own shallowness, the power of Quill’s Profound Ice Spirit Core alone was enough to be called peerlessly tyrannical, increasing his strength by more than double.
Originally, his power had basically touched the threshold of a Saint.
But now, it had reached the mid-stage of a Saint, capable of completely crushing those newly ascended Saints who had just proven their Dao.
After Alex regained mobility, both the Immovable Lord dharma idol and the body-protecting divine dragon vanished, he unhurriedly turned his head, only to see Noah and the Grave-Digging Ghost looking at him with faces full of terror.
"Saint Lord, b-be careful!"
"Hmm?" Alex frowned slightly and turned around, seeing the scene before him, he could not help but reveal a look of astonishment.
The bronze coffin had seemingly turned into a block of ice, densely covered with hideous cracks. With a crack, the coffin shattered and exploded with a bang.
A short, thin, and withered corpse floated in mid-air, this mummified corpse had a hunched posture, reduced to skin and bones like a withered log.
The skin all over its body was wrinkled like tree bark and deathly pale. It wore bizarre attire resembling a high priest, and a scepter emitting a ghastly black aura floated by its hand.
Facing such a corpse, Noah and the others all felt a thick sense of oppression, unable to stop trembling.
The Grave-Digging Ghost’s face was pale. "This is the leader of the Four Great Ancient Zombie Kings, Quill..."
Alex, on the other hand, stroked his chin with a look of interest.
With his strength, he did not fear any Quill to begin with.
Moreover, Quill’s most formidable Profound Ice Spirit Core already belonged to him. With one side waning and the other waxing, Alex truly could not think of how Quill could possibly win.
A moment later, Quill’s eyes slowly opened, staring dead at Alex.
After a long silence, he spoke coldly. "Kid, was it you who stole my Profound Ice Spirit Core?"
"Accurately speaking, you cannot really call it stealing." Alex shrugged and laughed.
"You are already sealed and practically a dead man. What use do you have for this power?"
"I am merely safeguarding it on your behalf."
"Bullshit!" Murderous intent burst from Quill’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
"I advise you to obediently return my power right now."
"Otherwise, I will definitely bury you all in this tomb chamber, never to be reincarnated for all eternity!"
"What, are you threatening me?" Alex raised an eyebrow with deep interest.
"You are already a living corpse, yet you still boast so shamelessly?"
"It seems I need to take the place of that Great Emperor and put you back into your coffin."
"Impossible!" Murderous intent burst from Quill’s eyes. With a flash of black light, he teleported directly in front of Alex.
His speed was undeniably fast, yet Alex anticipated and reacted a step ahead, he teleported back several meters, a layer of faint blue light lingering in his palm.
"Soul-Severing Awl!"
Several ice awls emitting bone-chilling cold instantly flew toward Quill, his pupils abruptly shrank, and he hurriedly dodged in a sorry state.
Watching the ice awls pierce into the rock wall, causing the melted ice layers to freeze over again, his eyes filled with wariness.
"Kid, you actually dare to use my secret techniques to deal with me. How despicable and shameless!"
"To be praised as despicable by one of the Four Great Ancient Zombie Kings can be considered an honor." Alex smiled faintly.
"Come on, let me experience what other useful abilities you have!"
