The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: I’m sorry, I’ve already devoured it

Outside the Ice Soul Array, the Slaughter King, Hun Tu, gazed into the fog-enshrouded area before him with a mix of unfamiliarity and recognition. Although Hun Tu had never been to this place, Hun Tan had—and had even left behind an avatar here.

Years ago, a fierce battle had ensued between Hun Tu and Hun Tan. Hun Tu was skilled in combat and slaughter, while Hun Tan excelled in devouring and assimilation.

Although Hun Tu won that battle, Hun Tan managed to erode part of his soul into Hun Tu's body. Over the years, Hun Tu had become but a shell; inside him dwelt the consciousness of Hun Tan. In essence, Hun Tu had long since become another avatar of Hun Tan—this was the source of Hun Tan's unwavering confidence.

With a loud command, "Charge! The enemy is within!" the hundred specter kings under his command didn't hesitate to plunge into battle. These specter kings were the elite of Hun Tu's forces—loyal and formidable. At Hun Tu's command, they would not even blink an eye before sacrificing themselves.

With these specter kings clearing the path, the Slaughter King advanced, easily overpowering any spirits that dared stand in his way. Soon, he found himself once again facing Chu Xuan.

"Your serpent spirit ally is still in the Greedy King's Palace," Hun Tu sneered. "Your forces are scattered across the land, suppressing the remnants of the Husbandry Faction. You are unprotected."

Hun Tan, looking at the spirit before him, smirked coldly. "Do you recognize me?"

Chu Xuan smiled back, "Of course, Slaughter King Hun Tu."

Hun Tan's eerie laugh echoed, "No, I am not just Hun Tu; I am also Hun Tan. The avatar I once left with you—I've come to reclaim it. And I will devour you as well."

His face lit up with a twisted delight, "You should feel honored, for you will serve as a stepping stone on my path to evolution!"

Hun Tan towered menacingly over Chu Xuan, suddenly unleashing his Great Devouring Palm. From the center of his palm surged a force intent on consumption.

Chu Xuan responded with a cold smirk and a step back as a massive shadow burst forth from behind him. Four giant arms wielding unique ghostly artifacts swung ferociously at Hun Tan.

With a visage grim and fanged, it was none other than the Ghost King Four Arms.

Hun Tan, taken aback, quickly retracted his Great Devouring Palm and summoned the Triple True Shield in defense.

But the impact of the ghostly artifacts was overwhelming; the shields shattered in an instant, and the continued assault pummeled Hun Tan's chest, sending him flying.

As he tumbled backward, the image of the formidable Four Arms haunted his gaze, shock evident in his eyes.

Besides the serpent spirit, this fog-enshrouded area hid another powerful specter—this four-armed being—whose might even surpassed the serpent's.

"Is this four-armed specter also one of his minions?" Hun Tan wondered in dismay.

"Attack!" he barked. The hundred specter kings under his command surged forward to shield him.

Four Arms, like a whirlwind, stormed through the ranks, his artifacts smashing down relentlessly. Touches were wounds; contacts were fatal. The once-dominant specter kings now appeared as fragile as common beasts.

Despite their vulnerability, these fiercely loyal specter kings charged fearlessly towards their doom.

Meanwhile, Hun Tan used this brief respite to launch another assault on Chu Xuan, reigniting his Great Devouring Palm with full force. He knew his window was closing rapidly.

His only chance to tip the scales was to eliminate this peculiar spirit and reclaim his other half. Chu Xuan, wearing a cryptic smile, responded, "You want to take back your half? I'm sorry, I've already devoured it."

With those words, he suddenly concentrated his consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he too manifested a Great Devouring Palm, striking towards Hun Tan.

Hun Tan's eyes widened in disbelief. The Great Devouring Palm was his creation, a secret technique known only to him. How had this spirit learned it?

The clash of the Great Devouring Palms created a vortex of terrifying absorption power. As Hun Tan and Chu Xuan's palms met, their soul bodies began to rapidly transform into one another's substance. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
