Is this what a zombie is?

98. What a tragic fate!

Jiang Chen and Ai Yi, one has the destiny of Tai Sui, and the other has the destiny of Ziwei Emperor.

Although these two types of fates are not mortal enemies and do not clash with each other, they do have some conflicts and even restrain each other to a certain extent.

But after the two met for the first time when they were eleven years old, they actually hit it off immediately.

They were drawn to each other, and as time went on, their fates became increasingly intertwined.

Now, one is occupied by two different forces of Tai Sui, while the other has inherited the dragon energy of the nation's destiny.

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh!!

It's a tangled mess of karmic debts, impossible to unravel, they're inextricably intertwined.

Cat Master knew the Four Spirits Family's reasons for taking Ai Yi away, so he didn't stop them.

This means that Ai Yi and Jiang Chen will inevitably continue to have contact and entanglement in the future.

As a result, even the Four Spirits Clan will be dragged into this vortex from which they cannot escape.

However, further words were pointless, so Cat Lord said no more. He suddenly unleashed his spiritual power, tearing through space and teleporting Jiang Chen away from the ruins.

The underground palace was a scene of devastation, with only a few members of the Four Spirits family remaining, along with the unconscious Ai Yi and eight infants.

What a mess!

Although it was a mess, it still needed to be cleaned up. Dongfang Liang took a moment to calm down, took out his phone and contacted the foundation to get the logistics department involved.

This is when the logistics department is needed to clean up the mess.

Dongfang Liang looked at Nangong Erya with admiration in his eyes.

"You handled it very well. The Nine-Lives Cat has no ill intentions toward people, China, or our Four Spirits Clan. Avoiding conflict is the best outcome."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Ai Yi.

"As for him..."

"The Purple Star Emperor's destiny was elevated, the five-clawed golden dragon totem self-destructed, and the dragon's nine sons totem was derived from it... This is a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years."

"Such a being must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. Don't take him back to the Foundation, bring him to our Four Spirits Clan instead. I believe those clan heads will definitely nurture him at any cost."

After all, this isn't just about one totem, but nine totems.

Nangong Erya nodded emphatically, her fists clenching unconsciously until her knuckles turned white from the force.

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a genius. As the only successor to master the Southern Ming Fire in the past hundred years, she is given boundless expectations.

But today, facing the Unyielding Bone, she was unable to defeat him in a short time, and when facing Ying Gou, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

All of this made her realize that she wasn't strong enough.

She needs to become stronger, possessing the ability to fight even someone like Ying Gou.

This desire transformed into a driving force, propelling her forward, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

Simond felt the fighting spirit emanating from Nangong Erya and gave a slightly helpless bitter smile.

Ugh, I'm so tired, I just want to lie down!

Hundreds of kilometers away, deep in a pristine mountain range rarely visited by humans.

In the night sky, a pitch-black crack suddenly tore open without warning.

The next second, two figures fell awkwardly from the crack, Cat Master and Jiang Chen uncontrollably tumbling into the dense forest below.

"Damn it!"

Cat climbed out of the pit, shook off the mud covering his body, and cursed under his breath.

In order to forcibly suppress the two Tai Sui energies within Jiang Chen's body, his distraction caused a serious shift in the coordinates of the spatial teleportation.

It looked up at Jiang Chen in the pit, its emerald green vertical pupils narrowing into slits.

Jiang Chen's condition was even worse than it had been in the underground palace.

Just now he still resembled a human being, but now, he can only be barely identified as a human figure.

Beneath the lush green skin, crimson and pale green flesh and blood tissue writhe and proliferate wildly, growing numerous tumors and tentacles in a very short time.

The lightning strike patterns on his body were also stretched open, and the lines became twisted and deformed. In addition, due to the erosion of the two Tai Sui forces, the originally azure blue stripes became colorful.

This made Jiang Chen look like an indescribable monster, very much like Cthulhu.

Cat Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. He keenly sensed that the Blood Coral Tai Sui and the Zombie Fungus Mother, which had been like fire and water, clashing and consuming each other within Jiang Chen's body, were now at odds.

After a brief confrontation, they surprisingly formed a united front.

They seemed to realize that if this internal strife continued, only the original will of this body would ultimately benefit.

So they stopped fighting amongst themselves and reached a consensus.

First, join forces to eliminate the external threat, namely Cat Lord, the biggest external threat. After eliminating the external threat, then compete for the ultimate ownership of this seemingly perfect body.

Thus, with the same goal in mind, the two Tai Sui powers, which originated from the same source but were of completely different natures, actually merged within Jiang Chen's body.

"roar--!!!"

Having merged the two powers, Jiang Chen pounced on Cat Master like a ferocious beast unleashed from its cage.

Cat Master's eyes sharpened, and his figure moved with ghostly speed, advancing instead of retreating.

Swish swish!

As it passed Jiang Chen, its sharp claws left dozens of deep, bone-revealing wounds on Jiang Chen's body.

This would be a fatal injury for an ordinary person, but for Jiang Chen now, it had no effect whatsoever.

Because these wounds quickly grow granulation tissue before they even bleed, and the granulation tissue grows, wriggles, and intertwines at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the potentially fatal wound was completely healed, without even leaving a scar.

The Blood Coral Tai Sui's ability is to devour flesh and blood to strengthen itself, thereby gaining super self-healing and regeneration capabilities, which is the origin of its immortality.

If the quality of the flesh and blood absorbed meets certain requirements, the Blood Coral Tai Sui can even acquire the other party's abilities. Therefore, the Blood Coral Tai Sui particularly likes to absorb the flesh and blood of awakened individuals and cultivators.

The Zombie Fungus mother possesses the characteristics of infecting and eroding, absorbing energy, and evolving.

Now, the combination of these two factors has made Jiang Chen an extremely troublesome undead monster.

The more Cat Lord fought, the more alarmed it became. After several rounds of combat, it discovered that the monster in front of it possessed more than just abnormal regenerative abilities.

What's even more frightening is that it is being attacked, it is adapting, and it is evolving.

He is growing stronger little by little, like a snowball rolling downhill.

This made Cat Lord realize that if it used its strongest power to kill before the two forces had fully merged, it would be a serious threat.

If this entanglement continues for a while, and he fully matures and evolves to the point where he is unafraid of my attacks, it will be too late for me to get serious.

A murderous aura emanated from Cat Lord.

But when faced with the immortal monster that looked like Jiang Chen, Cat Lord finally hesitated. At the moment when it was about to deliver the fatal blow, it subconsciously withdrew three-tenths of its strength.

The claws slashed across, but failed to completely sever Jiang Chen's head.
