The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World

Upon seeing the bizarre hybrid spirit, Hun Tan was astounded. The upper body of a human merged with the tail of a serpent—such a hybrid soul clan member he had never encountered before.

"Are you a Soul Star product?" Hun Tan asked cautiously.

The serpent spirit, holding a divination disk, laughed heartily, "I'm called Two Arms! I'd love to chat, but you'll have to meet my father first." With that, he charged forward.

Hun Tan, ever vigilant, quickly retreated while channeling his soul power into a giant bow and arrow, launching it fiercely at Two Arms. The serpent dodged swiftly, the arrow barely missing his shoulder.

Two Arms, slightly angered, remarked, "Attacking on first meeting, you're no good fellow! Now it's my turn!" He grabbed his divination disk and, without another word, hurled it toward Hun Tan.

Hun Tan tried to dodge, but it seemed as though the divination disk had locked onto him from all directions. His only option was to block the attack. He shouted fiercely, summoning three massive shields in front of him, hoping to fend off the disk.

However, the disk shattered the shields in an instant and struck Hun Tan directly, causing severe damage and intense pain, almost knocking him unconscious.

When he awoke, he found himself no longer in the same place. A formidable soul figure loomed over him. The serpent spirit with the divination disk now stood half a step behind, showing utmost respect. Such deference clearly indicated the high status of this soul figure.

Surprisingly, this soul's essence wasn't particularly strong—merely that of an eighth-level specter king. Hun Tan was puzzled by the respect the serpent spirit showed this individual.

Chu Xuan, observing him thoughtfully, was aware of the intensity of the Ice Soul Array—a combination of the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array and the Extreme Cold Ice Crystal Formation.

This made the erosion of the spirits' wills much more severe. Some spirits with decent potential caught Chu Xuan's eye, and he marked them with a divine imprint to maintain their clarity of mind.

Furthermore, as long as they were within the array, they were influenced to fight relentlessly until death, becoming nourishment for other spirits. Yet, this outsider had resisted the Ice Soul Array's influence for an unusually long time, sparking Chu Xuan's interest.

"Specter kings are equivalent to Ghost Commanders," Chu Xuan mused. "Normally, they would struggle to break free from the influence of the Ice Soul Array. Unless this specter king is extraordinary, possessing an exceptionally strong will."

With a deft twist of his eyes, Hun Tan addressed the imposing figure with respect, "I am Hun Tan, a specter king of the Husbandry Faction, and a close confidant of the Great King of the Husbandry Faction. I have strayed into this place by mistake, and I beg you to spare my life. If there is anything you wish to know, I will share without reservation."

Chu Xuan chuckled and, with a swift slap, struck Hun Tan on the head. "You promise to tell all, yet you do not pledge to tell only the truth. Who can say whether your words are sincere? I prefer to see for myself." He prepared to activate a soul-searching technique.

Hun Tan, powerless to resist, was instantly subdued. However, a black light suddenly burst forth from within him, attempting to escape.

Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed as his spiritual sense surged from the sea of his soul, forming a palm, which he launched at the fleeing black light.

Despite the black light's speed, the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm was faster. In the blink of an eye, Chu Xuan had grasped the black light in his hand, which then transformed into a grotesque, bloated human face. The face exhaled a cloud of dark mist, catching Chu Xuan off guard and momentarily clouding his senses.

Still, Chu Xuan's soul, refined through the heavenly dew of the Dao and extraordinarily solid, quickly recovered from the confusion.

"You think to devour me? Watch as I devour you!" The face cackled menacingly and charged towards Chu Xuan's soul body, colliding with it and causing havoc inside.

Two Arms watched anxiously, exclaiming, "Father! Are you alright?"

Chu Xuan displayed a curious expression. "It's fine, just wait on the side." Initially, this fragment of his soul was only a tenth of his original self. After consuming numerous specter kings, it had grown to approximately a third of his original soul's strength.

The essence of his soul was extraordinarily robust. To compare, if the soul body of a specter king was like tofu, then his was like diamond.

The soul creature attempting to devour him was in for a challenge. As it used its soul technique to try and swallow Chu Xuan whole, it felt like biting into rock. With a crack, its teeth shattered.

"This hard?!" the face exclaimed in shock.

Seizing the moment of surprise, Chu Xuan reconjured the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm, capturing the face firmly. Attempting to tear it apart with the palm, Chu Xuan found the opponent's soul surprisingly tough—obnoxious and hard, like a stone in a latrine.

Now firmly under control, the black light face had no chance to resist any further, caught tightly in the unyielding grip of the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm.

The face, contorted into a strange smile, taunted, "You don't look like a soul from the Slaughter Faction, nor do you seem to belong to the Husbandry Faction."

"You can't kill me; you can only trap me. Instead of this, it's better for both of us if you let me go," it cajoled. "What do you desire? Territory? Wealth? Food? Status? Whatever you want, I can provide."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Are you the Greedy King of the Husbandry Faction?"

The face cackled, revealing its identity, "Indeed, I am the Greedy King!"

Upon this confirmation, Chu Xuan showed a mix of respect and surprise, "To meet the Greedy King himself! I did not expect this, my apologies for the disrespect."

Seeing Chu Xuan's sudden change from haughtiness to deference, the face burst into laughter. All spirits on Soul Star feared the names of the Greedy King and the Slaughter King, and this soul was no exception.

However, Chu Xuan quickly added, "But, I've heard the Greedy King possesses unmatched soul power. You seem too small; are you really the Greedy King?"

The face sneered, "Do you think a large soul body equates to strong soul power? Wrong, very wrong! My soul has undergone a refinement. Moreover, this is not my entire soul, just a part of it."

Chu Xuan smiled, "I see."

As he spoke, he enveloped the black light with his own soul body, effectively isolating the Greedy King's main body from his avatar. The face, now both shocked and confused, questioned, "What are you doing?"

Without a word, Chu Xuan initiated the soul-searching technique. Since a soul contains memories, he could extract information directly from it. The face let out a brief scream, then its eyes turned white as it fell into a stupor, appearing almost catatonic.
