Necropolis Immortal

octopi on a merry chase and prevent them from finishing it, that might result in a weakness he could exploit.

He didn’t dare stop at all, though.

The Great Formation of Corpse Refinement had almost reached maturity.
If he stopped for even a moment and allowed the octopi to gather and complete the last rune, the formation would activate and refine them into zombies before Qing Han could deploy his scroll.

Although Lu Yun, Qing Han, and the Deaf Prince were no run-of-the-mill cultivators, they were still just cultivators.
They couldn’t counter the great formation with their current level of strength.

“I’ll do it!” growled the Deaf Prince.
Lu Yun and Qing Han had been conversing through transmission, keeping the prince in the loop.

He manifested his silver box, which was what made it possible for him to carry the unusually heavy crystal mountain.
Originally, it’d been entrusted to Hongxiu, but the prince had taken it with him since they were exploring an ancient tomb.

“Don’t!” Lu Yun stilled.
“Your crystal will bring the entire water tomb down.
That’ll just kill us even faster!”

The Deaf Prince scowled.
“What can we do, then?”

“I’ll deal with it!” Lu Yun had pushed his sword manipulation technique to its limit.
The Sugato Sword almost disintegrated and circled about the three men and a fox in wisps of light.
Violetgrave transformed into a haze of purple radiance as well, lurking in the shadows and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Within hell, Feinie prepared the Formation Orb.
Its light shone on the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement through the Gates of the Abyss, but even she couldn’t identify the flaw in the formation.
The heavenly forces were in utter chaos here, and there was that mass of corpses they’d come through earlier.
Given that the octopi hadn’t finished forming up yet, the Formation Orb could only reveal the flaws in the corpse formation.

“Wait.” Qing Han stopped suddenly.
“One of the octopus tried to attack the little fox!”

Lu Yun’s eyes brightened as Qing Han continued, “That octopus must be the flaw! It wanted to eat her because she was scared.”

Lu Yun hadn’t been scared, and the prince’s fear of the poison ghost was crushed by Lu Yun as soon as it’d arisen.
Qing Han naturally wouldn’t fear anything here.
The little fox was the only one who was afraid, and her fear drew the octopus, creating a flaw that prevented the almost finished formation from reaching completion.

“Fear….” Lu Yun inhaled deeply.
“Ah, so they’re ghost zombies! Creatures transformed from zombies that were killed!”

If a zombie was killed with its body intact, it would become another zombie again after tens of millions of years—a ghost zombie.

Ghost zombies fed on fear, and living souls who were afraid were irresistible to them.
That was why the tentacles had targeted the light barrier of the Celestial Exorcism Armor to get to the little fox, and why the formation remained unfinished.

“If that’s the case….” Lu Yun grabbed the little fox.

“What—what are you doing?!” the little fox screamed as Lu Yun dug her out from Qing Han’s shirt, where she’d been trembling in fear.

“I’m using you to break the formation!” Cackling, Lu Yun flung the little fox away.

“Eek! Save me, big sister Mo Yi! Help, ugly thing!!” the golden immortal burst out in loud sobs as she sailed away, her heart filled with abject terror.
