The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 424

"Hu, come here."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

Hu swiftly trotted over to his side. Dropping to one knee, he respectfully said, "Master, what commands do you have?"

His physique was immense, nearly five meters tall when standing fully upright. Even kneeling, his shoulders were higher than Chu Xuan's head.

Chu Xuan patted Hu's shoulder with satisfaction.

"How's your progress with magic cultivation lately?"

Hu scratched his head and answered in a humble tone, "I have poor talent, only managing to learn some basic spells."

He continued, "It seems I learn defensive magic faster than other types of spells."

Letting out a low growl, Hu released a surge of Lightning Spiritual Qi, quickly enveloping his body in a crackling armor of thunder.

Another growl, and Hu summoned four giant shields made of lightning to surround him.

Within moments, Hu had cast six different defensive spells. In contrast, his attempts at offensive magic were painfully slow. Not only were they off-target, but they were also so weak they barely made an impact.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Good boy," he muttered. "You've maxed out your defense!"

He chuckled, "Don't you envy Long?"

Hu nodded vigorously. "I do. Its level is lower than mine, but its strength can rival mine. If it had the same level, it would definitely be stronger than me."

Chu Xuan grew serious, his voice becoming more thoughtful. "I plan to integrate the True Steel Centipede into your body. Once you form a symbiotic relationship with it, you'll be stronger than Long."

Hu's eyes widened in pure excitement. "Thank you, Master!"

He had no reservations or doubts. As long as it could make him stronger, enabling him to serve his master better, he would be thrilled.

Chu Xuan smiled and explained further, "These three True Steel Centipedes are all third-transformation gu worms. If you want to fight, you could crush them effortlessly. You need to learn to accept them, don't resist."

Chu Xuan cut open Hu's chest, carefully placing one of the True Steel Centipedes inside, while speaking in a deep, commanding tone.

Hu nodded, understanding completely. "Master, I understand."

With wide, copper-like eyes, he stood perfectly still, allowing the True Steel Centipede to burrow into his body without flinching.

Chu Xuan extended his spiritual sense, constantly monitoring Hu's changes.

When he noticed the True Steel Centipede was feeding relentlessly, he immediately poured in a pre-prepared medicinal liquid through the wound. This liquid was designed to reduce the activity of the True Steel Centipede, a concept he had derived from the Giant Centipede Cultivation Method given to him by Xiao Renjie.

Time passed steadily. Hu's body began to heal, with the True Steel Centipede slowly being enveloped by flesh and blood. Gradually, the two forms merged seamlessly together.

Chu Xuan smiled and clapped his hands.

It worked! To his surprise, it succeeded on the first try.

Crack, crack!

Hu slowly stood up.

Its body expanded at a visible rate, growing taller and broader with each second. In the blink of an eye, it had grown from just under five meters to over six and a half meters in height. Its muscular arms were so thick they could rival the trunks of large trees.

The world of spiritual plants was vast, with many different varieties and habits. This was simply the law of nature, and Chu Xuan couldn't complain. All he could do was go out and buy the seeds.

"If only I were a Deity Transformation cultivator," he mused softly. "I've heard that once a Deity Transformation cultivator's primordial spirit reaches full maturity, they can split off a portion of their primordial spirit. With that ability, I could send a clone to buy the things I need, without having to risk myself. If the clone encounters danger, I could simply sever the connection and not have to worry about the main body at all."

He sighed lightly. The more you ventured out, the more likely you were to encounter trouble. Staying at home every day, after all, was the true path to avoiding disaster.

But this time, his luck seemed to be on his side—no one had taken notice of him. After all, he was merely purchasing some spiritual plant seeds.

Few would notice a poor, wandering cultivator haggling with the stall owner for an hour just to save half a piece of great spirit stone.

To avoid drawing attention, Chu Xuan didn't even bring out the Nine Yin Ship. He used a much smaller, patched-up flying boat instead. He might as well have had the words "pauper" written on his face.

Just as Chu Xuan was boarding his flying boat, preparing to leave, a pillar of light shot up from the distance, piercing the sky. Almost immediately, thick black smoke erupted, reaching toward the heavens.

After a while, the distant roar of successive explosions echoed through the air.

Perhaps due to the force of the blasts, the sea began to churn violently. Enormous waves began to form, the tallest one reaching a height of tens of zhang. Farther out, the waves were even higher, towering to more than a hundred zhang.

Not only was Chu Xuan stunned, but the other cultivators on Moon Island were also bewildered, having no idea what was happening. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After a long moment, someone cried out, "Isn't that the direction of Desolate Island?! The volcanic cluster on Desolate Island erupted!"

Another voice quickly followed, "And it was a series of explosions! My heavens, there must have been at least eight explosions in a row!"

At this point, many cultivators' expressions grew increasingly complex. Some were joyful, while others looked anxious.

The joy was understandable—whenever the Desolate Island volcanoes erupted, they often brought forth numerous treasures.

As for the anxious ones, Chu Xuan surmised that they likely had friends or family on Desolate Island.
