Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Tier Seven Corpse King

"Boom."

"Boom, rumble, rumble."

After an intense trembling sensation, came a "rumble" like the violent roar of an earthquake.

However, this was not an earthquake.

Instead, a powerful evil spirit was approaching.

An extremely cold aura swept over, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet abruptly.

In an instant, it was as if plunged into an ice cellar.

Originally, the people gathered around Lin Yuan scattered like birds and beasts, taking refuge inside the building behind.

True, they were novices, but they weren't fools.

Just from the aura leaking from this evil spirit, it was far beyond what they could handle.

Now, Lin Yuan was everyone's hope.

Taking cover was to avoid collateral damage in a fight of this magnitude.

In such a high-level battle, being too close, even a slight leakage of energy could take their lives.

A huge fissure cracked open on the distant ground, and soon, two large palm-like hands reached out from the gap.

Then, there was a head as massive as a millstone.

Next, a body huge as a small hill emerged.

Corpse King.

King among zombies.

The Corpse King's figure stood at over ten meters tall, with a decaying, dirt-yellow armor hanging from its enormous body.

Its face was terrifying, emanating a sinister evil Qi from head to toe.

Tier Seven.

Undoubtedly, this Corpse King is a Tier Seven Evil Spirit.

Indeed, speak of the devil and it shall appear.

Lin Yuan only recently said that Tier Seven evil spirits were hard to find, and now, one had shown up.

At this moment, Lin Yuan understood.

The previous zombies and skeleton soldiers were all subordinates of the Corpse King.

The Corpse King slept below ground, while those zombies and skeleton soldiers hunted for its food.

Much like worker ants foraging to sustain the queen.

Now, the zombies and skeleton soldiers used for foraging were all slain by Lin Yuan, enraging the Corpse King, prompting it to personally step in to kill Lin Yuan.

Tier Seven Corpse King.

Lin Yuan was quite excited; finally, an opponent he could go all out against appeared.

The evil spirits he encountered before could be handled with the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo.

This Corpse King required the augmentation power of the Deceitful Gate Tattoo, multiplied tenfold.

Finally, he could feel the sensation of being at full throttle.

Lin Yuan turned his head to Bai Ling'Er and Wen Yingying behind him and said, "You two should also hide inside the building!"

Before Wen Yingying could speak, Bai Ling'Er retorted, displeased, "Who are you looking down on?"

"If I hadn't been tricked by you, with my three hundred years of cultivation, I could slap down this Corpse King in one go."

"Don't worry about us, focus on yourself. Be careful not to get killed by the Corpse King."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, you're not tricked by me; you're merely reaping what you've sown.

First time seeking seals, and you bump into me, the man carrying the entire Underworld.

Undeniably, it's a stroke of bad luck.

A starved camel is larger than a horse; although Bai Ling'Er was constrained by the Power of Rules.

However, she should still manage to ensure her own safety.

Realizing this, Lin Yuan no longer worried about them, instead focused on dealing with the Corpse King.

....

....

Ox Head Armor Transformation.

Horse-faced Horse Transformation.

The Deceitful Gate Gate appeared behind him, towering like a mountain.

At this moment, Lin Yuan unleashed all his combat power.

This was the sensation of being at full throttle.

"Roar!"

The Corpse King let out an angry roar, then with its huge body leaped up, swinging its millstone-sized palms down at Lin Yuan.

This Corpse King was over ten meters tall, jumping high, and punching down.

This was just like a small mountain peak crashing down from the sky.

Yet, at this moment Lin Yuan had gained the tenfold augmented strength from the Deceitful Gate Tattoo.

"Tenfold augmentation!"

With a loud roar, Lin Yuan's body rapidly expanded like a balloon.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan also transformed into a towering giant over ten meters tall.

The Law of Deceitful Gate, tenfold augmentation.

Since it was an all-rounded tenfold augmentation, naturally increasing body size tenfold was easily achievable.

Originally standing at 1.8 meters, Lin Yuan now, turned ten times larger, towered at eighteen meters tall.

Moreover, the Yellow Steed transformed from the Horse Face Tattoo under him expanded ten times larger as well, resembling a colossal beast from ancient times.

Currently, Lin Yuan appeared far larger than the Corpse King.

Facing the descending Corpse King, Lin Yuan raised the Five-Pronged Heaven-Supporting Fork in his hand to fiercely meet it head-on.

"Bang!"

With a violent crash, the Yellow Steed beneath Lin Yuan staggered back a few steps, while the Corpse King was brutally flung off.

"Boom!"

The Corpse King was sent flying dozens of meters, crashing heavily into a training building.

The building collapsed instantly, with bricks and stones scattering around, and dust billowing.

Once the aftermath settled, the training building had transformed into a pile of ruins.

Lin Yuan glanced at the training building behind him, where the survivors were hiding.

Now, as they peeked through the windows outside, they must feel like watching Ultraman battling a monster, right?

Considering this, to avoid harming the innocent, Lin Yuan spurred his steed swiftly, leading the Corpse King towards the playground.

The Corpse King was a Tier Seven Evil Spirit, possessing great power, yet its intellect was extremely low.

Through Lin Yuan's playful provocation, it was smoothly driven onto the playground.

Luckily, the playground was spacious, very apt as a gladiatorial arena.

At this moment, inside the training building, the survivors were both terrified and curious.

Lin Yuan was their sole hope; the outcome of the battle outside directly linked to their survival.

If Lin Yuan wins, they live.

If the Corpse King wins, they die.

"They're on the playground now!"

"Can't see them anymore!"

"No idea how the battle is going!"

"If that expert loses, we surely won't survive either!"

...

...

The survivors talked endlessly, making the place resemble a noisy marketplace.

"Surveillance!"

"Yes, the playground is monitored," said the English teacher, who posted on the forum.

Right before the peculiar invasion, the management of Lanxiang Excavator Training Company had surveillance installed on the playground.

The main reason for installing surveillance was due to a nightly occurrence — couples, learning excavator operation and massage, were having dates on the playground.

Truly, the playground became a 'dating ground'!

Most crucially, in the mornings, the cleaning staff often found used condoms.

To prevent accidents, management arranged surveillance installation on the playground overnight.

Indeed, since the surveillance cameras were installed, no couples went there for dates.

After all, live broadcasting is something no one can take!

With the couples avoiding the playground dates, the surveillance cameras had no use.

No one expected, after such a long hiatus, the surveillance would now be for viewing the battle.

The English teacher swiftly operated his phone, projecting the video onto the classroom's projector.

Once the surveillance footage appeared, the entire classroom was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The survivors dared not breathe loudly, each one nervously fixating their eyes on the monitoring screen.
