Yin Gen looked at all the people surrounding him. He had a calm demeanor, not minding in the slightest he was outnumbered. His eyes lit up with excitement; he had made some progress with his Heavenly Zombie Art after absorbing some devil blood. His skin had changed from its grey color, almost returning to its normal state.
“Kill him,” ordered a disciple at the back. Then, the disciples waved their hands to summon numerous demonic beasts, exponentially increasing their numbers. The demonic beasts then attacked. Some went directly toward Yin Gen to rip him apart, while others used long-distance attacks, mainly elemental ones.
Bang!
The attack landed on him, destroying the surrounding environment. However, he was perfectly intact.
“Now, it’s my turn.”
His hand turned black before growing claws. Yin Gen rushed to the nearest beast and cut it into two. He appeared to another hand and penetrated its brain, leaving blood all over his clothes.
[Yin Claw]
A pale blue claw rushed from his hand and crushed everything in its path, leaving a rod of blood and carnage.
Crack!
A shadow beast suddenly appeared behind Yin Gen and bit his shoulder, ripping it off. At least, that was the original plan. Instead, the beast’s teeth exploded because of Yin Gen’s fleshly body. Then, he gently shook his shoulder, and the beast exploded into a blood balloon.
“Use Beast Fusion,” yelled the leader of this group, and his followers responded. These disciples suddenly turned into hybrids of humans and demons.
“Interesting cultivation system,” commented Yin Gen; they reminded him of someone from his generation with the Myriad Beast Physique. YinGen smiled as he prepared to go on a massacre. However, he sensed someone in the surroundings that gave him a dangerous feeling, so he raised his guard.
A chilling energy came from his body to envelop these attackers. The chill was not the power ice but Yin Power, the cold of the underworld. With this one attack, only one person survived: the leader.
‘Huh? A demon with some Innate bloodline?’ He rushed to the leader r who fused with a Kui Snake with only five attacks. Yin Gen then dazed in the direction he felt the danger. However, a few minutes later, the person seemed to have left; he still did not drop his guard.
‘This Clean Up has been very beneficial,’ thought Yin Gen. In his era, he was a mortal with poor cultivation talent–even for body refining since his bones and blood were naturally weak and could not correctly strengthen. However, Yin Gen wanted to walk the path of cultivation, and he would not let anyone or anything from getting in his way.
After contemplating and planning, Yin Gen realized body refining was the only way to change his talent and fate. However, no sect or faction wanted him. His body was not even suitable to absorb incense, and he could not even join the more accepting Buddist Sect.
Yin Gen was stubborn and decided to join a body-refining sect at all costs. So, he knelt before the gate of the Body Dao Cave–known as the best. With his weak mortal constitution, he knelt for five years. It was a miracle for a mortal to survive so long without food and water. But through sheer willpower, he created this miracle.
An Elder from the cave admired his conviction and accepted him as a disciple. And Yin Gen did not disappoint. Although he could not cultivate any of the cultivation techniques from their library, he acquired enough knowledge to create his own: the Golden Zombie Art.
By absorbing Yin Qi, he would turn himself into a non-human and abnormal state–he turned himself into a zombie. And the Yin Qi he absorbed was not the pure kind from the moon. It was the eerie one found in cemeteries full of Death Qi. The process was painful as this type of Yin Qi was detrimental to the soul when absorbed in large quantities. Furthermore, there was a chance of losing his mind and turning into a mindless monster that only knew how to kill.
Yin Gen divided his scripture into five categories: Normal Zombie, Iron Zombie, Bronze Zombie, Silver Zombie, and Gold Zombie. With each realm, he needed more Yin Qi, and the process was more excruciating. And for the Silver and Gold Zombie, he needed life and death resources to cultivate.
After completing his cultivation, Yin Gen became a famous Heaven Chosen, suppressing the Heaven Chosen of his era. As a result, he also had to survive the hunting of some Buddhist factions who did not want to see him rise. He always escaped with the help of the Body Dao Cave, his luck, and intelligence.
Yin Gen quickly became known as the person most likely to prove the Dao. All signs showed he had little to no rival–even from the Buddhist Sect. Regrettably, there was an upset. A person from the previous generation suddenly showed up and ruined Yin Gen’s dreams: Wang Chong.
The man was a legend from the previous generous as someone who fought equally with a Great Emperor. However, people thought he sealed himself to wash away his karma.
Of course, Yin Gen did not believe such nonsense–even if there are records of Emperor Seven Lotus admitting this fact. Sadly, during the final battle, Wang Chong completely suppressed him. The worse part was he lost to the latter’s fleshly body–which was his pride and confidence.
After his defeat, Yin Gen did not give up: he focused on reaching the pinnacle of the body refining path and proving the Dao was one of the most important steps he had to take. So, he decided to upgrade his scripture while also sealing him. He chose a Yin Grotton Heaven–a place that could give birth to all types of Yin Energy as a place for his seal. His act of cultivating while sealing himself made him experience even more excruciating pain; it also made the process longer than usual. However, Yin Gen did not care; he saw it as a form of tempering.
His method succeeded as he created two more stages of his scripture: Earth Zombie and Heavenly Zombie. At the peak of Earth Zombie, Yin Gen broke the barrier between Immortal and Mortal. More importantly, he learned about the Gate of Power.
Immediately, Yin Gen saw his goal before him. He knew how to achieve his goal of reaching the end of the body refining path: he must open that gate. He was even happier when he learned no one had ever opened this gate–not even Wang Chong. Yin Gen knew his opponent was long gone and surpassed him. However, he had a way to compete and defeat him:
He can do something even Wang Chong never achieved in his life.
After waking up in this generation full of Eternal Destiny, the first thing Yin Gen did was undergo his Fleshly Tribulation. And without knowing any better, he passed two parts at once.
Yin Gen lived through 4 Eras and was confident in his Willpower. However, he never forgot that horrifying experience. He was also a madman; after cultivating and preparing for a while, he took another two simultaneously. And he still plans to repeat this madness.
Yin Gen then learned of this generation’s Heaven Chosen to prepare for the final battle. After hearing how Wang Chong’s descendant was the genius most likely to prove the Dao in this generation, he was interested–especially since the latter is known for his mighty fleshly body.
So, when he saw Wang Wei, he used some excuse to approach the latter and confront him; he wanted to test if this descendant lived up to his ancestor’s legend.
And Yin Gen soon discovered Wang Wei was a greater monster than Wang Chong. According to his calculation, Wang Chong’s power should have been peak 4-Leaf, meaning his current strength could crush the latter. However, he felt helpless before Wang Wei.
After that encounter, Yin Gen thought about how to improve his Heavenly Zombie Art. And after massacring countless devils, he tried absorbing the sins and evil aura from their bloodline. Luckily, he succeeded.
‘What should I call this new layer? Celestial Zombie? Immortal Zombie? Desolate Zombie? No, Let’s just use Immortal Zombie.’
Yin Gen chose this name because he could feel once he succeeded, his lifespan would drastically increase. Currently, he can naturally live for more than 100 million years. That’s one of the advantages of his scripture. Although it has many flaws and difficulty to cultivate, the increase in lifespan in each stage is on par with the best cultivation system focusing on longevity.
‘I can probably live up for 500 million years,’ thought Yin Gen, full of excitement. He could foresee the possibility of failure in this Heaven Will Battle. However, he only cares about surviving.
If he does, he can seal himself again and try in the future.
After making a plan, Yin Gen looked at the exit space channel and soon realized he could not leave.
‘Let’s hide until the chaos ends.’ He took his troops before disappearing.
