Chapter 31: Terrifying Changes in the Body!

Zhang Xuan's dormant consciousness awakened once again at this moment.

In a daze, he seemed to have had a dream.

He flew upwards uncontrollably like a balloon.

The whole world was emitting a white light.

This white light made him feel extremely warm, and his entire body seemed to be melting into this white world.

But at the very last moment, a golden light streaked across this vast expanse of white world.

Zhang Xuan's consciousness returned to his control once again.

Although it was pitch black in front of him, Zhang Xuan could sense his own body.

Strangely enough, he could clearly perceive the changes in his body, but he couldn't control his body.

As waves of cold air seeped into Zhang Xuan's body, each of his cells seemed to be cheering.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.

"Success! I've finally completed the first step of refining the corpse."

"Sure enough, just like in my previous life, this ancestral jade pendant has preserved my soul."

"If my soul dissipated and only the body that was about to become a zombie remained, it might bring a catastrophe to the whole world!"

With his mind at ease, Zhang Xuan then felt the detailed changes in his body.

Zhang Xuan calmed down and soon discovered that besides the cold air converging towards his body from all around,

there were also several strange auras condensing into his body.

Based on the positions, Zhang Xuan quickly guessed that these auras were exactly the materials he had prepared, such as the Qinshan Stone and so on.

But at this moment, Zhang Xuan was surprised to find that at the positions of his palms, there was an extremely powerful energy condensing into his body respectively.

Zhang Xuan immediately reacted.

"It's those two seals! The Imperial Seal and that unknown seal."

"One of these two energies is vast and mighty, carrying the noble righteousness of an emperor. Presumably, it's the Imperial Seal!"

"And the other aura is even more domineering. If the Imperial Seal is the emperor in the mortal world, then this mysterious seal seems to be a demon god in the netherworld. It's violent and domineering!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be startled in his heart.

"It seems that the origin of this mysterious seal is not simple!"

However, apart from these, Zhang Xuan couldn't feel any other changes at all.

"Alas! Forget it! According to the records in the Xuanmen Corpse Refining Technique, it will take at least two months for the Absolute Heavenly Ancestral Zombie to basically take shape."

"I'd better just wait patiently. After all, I can't do anything now!"

In the empty cave, everything was silent.

Only a tall corpse was lying in the middle, with the moonlight shining down on its head.

If someone were here, they would surely notice a strange scene.

When the bright moonlight fell on the corpse, it seemed to be absorbed by the corpse.

The entire corpse was shriveling up at a visible speed.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, the moon had completely disappeared.

At this moment, in the dense jungle of the Taihang Mountains.

A group of four people were walking through here.

It was the three burly men led by the red-haired woman.

These three men were carrying various tools on their backs and were holding mountain axes and Nepalese army knives in their hands.

Their sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

The red-haired woman who was leading the group had a samurai sword on her back.

Her waist was bulging, and it was obvious that there was something there.

The next second, the red-haired woman frowned and raised her arm.

The three burly men behind her immediately stopped.

"This heavy rain came at a really bad time."

"It's very difficult to find the trace of this kid."

"Let's split up. I've already placed a positioning device in my car. As long as he hasn't returned to the car, it means he's still on this mountain!" With the order of this red-haired woman, the three burly men immediately dispersed.

Soon, the rain stopped, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the dense forest after the rain.

At this moment, in the hidden cave on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Xuan suddenly felt an extremely explosive energy condensing into his body.

Compared to the previous cold air, this energy seemed to contain extremely high temperature.

Each cell in his body was rapidly shriveling up under the scouring of this energy.

Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan was startled in his heart.

"This... is it daytime? This must be sunlight!"

"Could it be that the Absolute Heavenly Ancestral Zombie is also afraid of sunlight like ordinary zombies before it takes shape?"

While Zhang Xuan was feeling anxious, he suddenly felt a wonderful change in his body.

He just felt that after each cell had shriveled to a certain extent, it suddenly stopped changing.

And as the explosive energy continued to wash over, an essential change took place deep within each cell.

Zhang Xuan carefully felt the changes in the cells, and suddenly a word popped into his mind.

"Density! It's density!"

"Although the number of each of my cells hasn't changed, the density of the substances contained in them is increasing rapidly!"

"Sure enough, just as recorded in the Xuanmen Corpse Refining Technique, the Absolute Heavenly Ancestral Zombie can absorb energy of any attribute to strengthen its body!"

"However, since my cells have shriveled to this extent, my body must have shrunk significantly."

It's a pity that Zhang Xuan couldn't see his own corpse at present. Otherwise, he would surely find that his thinking was completely correct.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan's body had shrunk by a large circle.

He looked just like a mummy.

The muscle lines were like ravines, looking rather terrifying.

As time passed by minute by minute, Zhang Xuan also felt that the explosive energy was becoming more and more turbulent.

Finally, it reached an unprecedented peak.

Zhang Xuan thought to himself.

"It seems that it's already noon, the brightest moment of the sun in a day."

But at this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that slight changes were taking place in his hands and feet.

To be precise, it was his fingernails.

Feeling this, the image of zombies in Uncle Ying's movies immediately emerged in Zhang Xuan's mind.

Two sharp teeth and long, slender fingernails!

"Forget it! As long as I can survive in the apocalypse, it doesn't matter if I look a bit terrifying!"

"After all, a real man relies on his strength, not his looks!"

However, at this moment, Zhang Xuan had no idea that the changes in his fingernails were completely different from the zombie images he was familiar with.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan's palms were lying flat on the ground, and the two seals were lying flat in his palms.

His fingernails were turning black at an extremely fast speed.

The fingernails were developing from flat shapes towards irregular cylinders.

The flesh on the finger pads was being eroded by the growing black fingernails.

In just a few minutes, drastic changes had taken place in Zhang Xuan's hands and feet.

Although they still generally looked like human palms, when looking at the fingernails alone, they were more like the claws of some fierce beasts.

The black claws were emitting wisps of black gas.
