Chapter 175 The Two Apertures of the Spirit
Although these zombies were powerful and the Heavenly Divine Array was incredibly sophisticated, breaking through Lin Fei's Vajra Indestructible Divine Art defense was still no easy task.
The twelve zombies roared in unison, launching wave after wave of attacks on Lin Fei, but Lin Fei's defenses remained unbroken.
Seeing this, Yan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this monk's kung fu is indeed exquisite. Even your twelve corpse zombies couldn't break that guy's tortoise shell."
"Hmph, if these twelve zombie corpses could evolve to the level of corpse demons, even with half of their power sealed, they could still easily break through this kid's tortoise shell!" The old woman snorted indignantly and sneered, "This kid's tortoise shell may be powerful, but it won't last long!"
The old woman was right. While the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was indeed powerful, these twelve corpse zombies possessed immense strength, not to mention that their power had been gathered together by the Heavenly God and Demon Formation.
A person's true energy is ultimately finite; even a master at the acupoint realm has no limit to their true energy. However, this Heavenly Divine Fiend Array connects to the stars above and draws upon the earth's energy below, allowing it to continuously restore the twelve corpses to their stiff state.
If Lin Fei continues to defend like this, sooner or later his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill will be broken by these twelve zombie corpses.
Fortunately, from the beginning, Lin Fei never intended to remain on the defensive. He used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art merely to test the strength of these twelve individuals. Now, he felt more confident—although these twelve zombies were formidable, with half their power sealed, they were not invincible to him.
After a moment's thought, Lin Fei decided on a method to defeat the twelve zombies—to bombard them with a Heavenly Thunder Array.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, Lin Fei wouldn't want to use the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation, because that would waste his precious merit points.
But these twelve creatures in front of me had no thoughts of their own; they didn't even feel pain, let alone fear. Neither the Feathered Robe Sword Technique nor the Blood-Slaying Demon Blade had much effect on them.
With a flick of his wrist, Lin Fei had already quietly grasped the diagram of the lightning array in his hand.
"Ding!"
"The Nine Heavens Thunder Formation is activated. The formation's power has been maximized, triggering its special attribute—Nine Heavens Thunderclap!"
"Special attribute of the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation - Nine Heavens Thunderous Movement: Wherever the heavenly thunder passes, not a blade of grass grows. The Nine Heavens Thunder Formation has a 100% effect on those below the Dharma Aspect Realm within the formation - killing them. The activation probability of the first level of Dharma Aspect is 60%. The activation probability of the second level of Dharma Aspect is 30%. The activation probability of the third level of Dharma Aspect is 10%. It is ineffective against experts at the Celestial Human Realm."
……
The system notification sounded in Lin Fei's mind, and Lin Fei immediately used the maximum power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Array.
There was nothing that could be done about it; these twelve guys were just too tough and thick-skinned, far surpassing human cultivators of the same level.
Moreover, with the support of the Dutian Divine Fiend Formation, the damage is distributed. If the maximum power of the Thunder Formation is not activated, the damage caused by the Thunder Formation will probably be distributed and transformed by these twelve guys through the power of the Dutian Divine Fiend Formation in the blink of an eye, and then they will be instantly healed.
Twelve bolts of lightning, each as thick as a tree trunk, struck the heads of the twelve zombies simultaneously. Instantly, the special effect of the lightning array—Nine Heavens Thunder—was triggered.
Those below the Dharma Aspect realm were all killed!
Click, click, click...
Those twelve seemingly invincible zombies actually began to crack open from the top of their heads, turning into a pile of charred remains on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Where they had originally stood, twelve round beads, radiating purple energy, floated in mid-air.
Rigor mortis, a higher form of zombie created from the dead, possesses no thought and feels no pain. All their energy comes from a single corpse core within their bodies. And now, these twelve rigged corpses had been struck by heavenly lightning, leaving only a single corpse core.
"How can this guy's power of heavenly lightning be so strong?" Yan Yan, standing to the side, covered her mouth in surprise: "When I saw him deal with that white bone monster before, he wasn't this powerful!"
It's not that Lin Fei's Heavenly Thunder Formation has become stronger; it's just that when he dealt with the White Bone Demon, Lin Fei sensed that the demon was extraordinary and probably had some secret, so he didn't kill it.
At this moment, in order to save his own life, Lin Fei could no longer hold back.
While Yan Yan was shocked, she also turned to look at her grandmother. She knew that these twelve zombies were the twelve elite zombies that her grandmother had created after ruining countless other zombies. Now that Lin Fei had destroyed them all at once, her grandmother would probably be furious and might even take Lin Fei's life immediately.
Although Lin Fei's Heavenly Thunder Formation was powerful, it was of little use against Grandma.
To Yan Yan's surprise, the old woman's face showed no anger whatsoever, but rather a mixture of amazement and delight: "This is such pure heavenly lightning power! What kind of formation is this? It can actually summon heavenly lightning that is almost identical to a tribulation lightning, which is far superior to any lightning power created by Taoist imitations of heavenly tribulation lightning, such as Palm Lightning or Purple Sky Lightning!"
Lin Fei's Nine Heavens Thunder Array is an item rewarded by the system, obtained from the ancient Heavenly Court's Thunder Department God, the Nine Heavens Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Heavens Responding to Thunder and Spreading Transformation was the head of the Thunder Department of the ancient Heavenly Court. The thunder power he wielded was the most primordial thunder power, which was naturally incomparable to the thunder power imitated by other Taoist schools based on thunder tribulations.
After killing the twelve zombies, system notifications rang in Lin Fei's mind.
"Ding!"
"Killing the zombie has earned 10000 merit points, 10000 martial arts cultivation points, and 10000 experience points!"
"Killing the zombie has earned 11000 merit points, 11000 martial arts cultivation points, and 11000 experience points!"
"Killing the zombie has earned 12000 merit points, 12000 martial arts cultivation points, and 12000 experience points!"
……
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, you have leveled up and successfully opened your fifth acupoint. Your current realm is the fifth level of the Acupoint Realm!"
……
After Lin Fei used the power of thunder to kill the twelve zombies, he actually advanced to the Five Apertures Realm by relying on the experience points he gained.
"The fifth acupoint has been opened!" Lin Fei couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
This fifth acupoint is completely different from the previous four.
The previous four acupoints, namely the eye acupoint, ear acupoint, nose acupoint, and mouth and tongue acupoint, were still at the stage of strengthening the body.
These fifth and sixth acupoints together form the "spirit" acupoints, which are crucial for tempering the soul, opening the gate between heaven and earth, and even for condensing the Dharma form!
