The Demon with Holy Radiance

Chapter 396: Chapter 272: The Gray Fog Closes, Corpse Transformation Perfection

All of these Demon Barriers surged into Yang An’s Holy Shrine, and a massive amount of incredibly pure Mana poured into the acupoints in his body.

HISS—

It was like a man, parched for days, suddenly gulping down a mouthful of sweet spring water.

The gift bestowed by killing a Zombie God was astonishingly potent.

Yang An’s Cultivation Level was already not far from the Zombie God realm. This surge pushed it up a huge chunk, bringing him genuinely close to that level.

If he could kill another Zombie God, his Cultivation Level would probably soon reach the Perfection stage of Corpse Transformation, leaving him truly just one step away from the Zombie God realm.

Besides the shattered Buddhist Shrine, a semicircular fragment also dropped from the pile of scattered ashes and tried to fly away.

Yang An’s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to intercept it, the fragment suddenly fell to the ground.

"Did you devour it?"

"I did."

The Bow Lady’s voice entered Yang An’s ears. She naturally wouldn’t let the Zombie God’s soul go to waste, which was why the fragment had abruptly stopped moving.

This was the first time she had tasted the soul of a Zombie God. She had never felt so satisfied. freewebnøvel.com

Yang An reached out and took the fragment in his hand. He was actually quite puzzled.

Despite the Three Prohibitions, that guy was on the verge of death. How could he not have used his Power of Rules before dying?

’Was it because he didn’t like to use it?’

An information box popped up before his eyes.

[Night Fang Fragment]: A Middle Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment from the Forbidden Artifact [Night Fang]. It contains a portion of the Power of Rules capable of forcibly compressing living things. As this item is incomplete, the duration and range of its Power of Rules are limited. Those below the Zombie God realm who forcibly merge with this item will suffer a fatal backlash from the Power of Rules. Without fusion, only one-tenth of its power can be wielded at most.

Cost of Use: Each use of this item’s Power of Rules will drain a portion of the user’s lifespan, depending on the duration and range. Merging with this item will cause the user to fall into a state of spatial chaos each time the Power of Rules is used. If one cannot escape the state of spatial chaos in a short period, they too will suffer a backlash from the Power of Rules and be compressed.

Status: Currently cannot be Purified. Requires devouring a corresponding, opposing Power of Rules for Purification!

Another Middle Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment!

Yang An carefully read the contents of the information box, quite surprised by this Forbidden Artifact Fragment’s Power of Rules.

It appeared to be a Power of Rules related to space, which should be extremely rare.

He hadn’t expected such a windfall. Yang An was inwardly ecstatic, but at the same time, his curiosity about the Three Prohibitions grew.

Just how severe were the consequences of violating the Three Prohibitions? So severe that even a Zombie God wouldn’t dare use it on the verge of death?

After putting the Forbidden Artifact Fragment away, Yang An scanned the surrounding area.

If he wasn’t mistaken, not only Mijin Tower but also the other locations had already been looted. Yet, Grand View Cave Zen was still a scene of brutal chaos. The fighting hadn’t stopped at all.

Zombie Gods were fighting Zombie Gods, and Corpse Transformations were fighting Corpse Transformations. It was utter pandemonium.

It was only 3:00 AM, just four hours since the Joyful Shrine Association began.

According to the information Yang An had previously obtained about the Joyful Shrine Association, all participants were forbidden from leaving the Ten Thousand Buddha State, the State Territory where the Great Virtue Temple was located. The Joyful Shrine Association was confined to the Ten Thousand Buddha State’s territory.

In other words, the people who took the cultivation resources from Grand View Cave Zen might still be within the Great Virtue Temple, but it was more likely they had already left.

’If it were me,’ he thought, ’I’d definitely choose to leave the Great Virtue Temple first to lay low. I’d wait until the Joyful Shrine Association is over before coming back. That way, I could secure all the cultivation resources I’d obtained.’

The State Territory was vast. Once someone left the Great Virtue Temple, finding them within the single day of the Joyful Shrine Association would be completely impossible.

Realizing this, Yang An could only choose to give up.

Searching for those who had taken the cultivation resources was a waste of time. He’d be better off killing more people in the Great Virtue Temple, refining their Demon Barriers to break through to the Zombie God realm.

Besides, as time went on, others would surely leave the Great Virtue Temple to vent their frustrations elsewhere. He also needed to complete the mission Elder Zhuan Yu had given him as soon as possible.

If he waited until everyone had left to make a move on the Round Gate Four Pavilions, his actions would seem to have ulterior motives and be impossible to conceal.

So, Yang An decided to head to the Round Gate Four Pavilions first. With so many people around and chaos everywhere, it was the perfect opportunity to strike.

Nothing was going right. Not only had a Visceral Stone escaped, but he hadn’t even managed to grab the resources he wanted. Yang An was in a foul mood. freёwebnoѵel.com

Fortunately, he had made a breakthrough in his Cultivation Level and obtained a new Forbidden Artifact Fragment, so it was acceptable.

Yang An immediately leaped up and headed back in the direction he had come from, preparing to leave Grand View Cave Zen.

But not long after, he arrived at a ruin within the Buddha’s Hall of Destiny. He stared at the layer of gray fog enveloping all of Grand View Cave Zen. The opening that had previously collapsed was now, somehow, sealed shut. Yang An froze.

The entrance to Grand View Cave Zen was gone!

Now, the entirety of Grand View Cave Zen was shrouded in gray fog, as if the inside and outside had been separated into two different worlds, making escape impossible.

A Corpse Transformation cultivator charged toward the layer of gray fog. His body crashed into it, and in the next moment, he was eroded by countless wisps of fog, crying out in agony.

Yang An launched a powerful kick, sending the head of a Golden Buddha Statue flying straight toward the gray fog.

The metal head of the Buddha statue touched the gray fog and was instantly dissolved into fine dust.

The entire Grand View Cave Zen had now become a sealed-off fighting pit.

’This definitely isn’t something an ordinary person could do,’ Yang An guessed. ’It might even be a setup—or more accurately, a trap—from the very top.’
