At this moment, Leo decided to give it a try. If successful, dealing with the zombie Nekrotic should not be a big problem.
Leo’s body began to move in a strange posture. First, he assumed the position…
Eventually, Leo’s body moved so fast that it turned into a blur.
A mysterious and unfathomable fluctuation emanated from the phantom formed by Leo, causing Nekrotic’s advancing movement to pause momentarily as it stared blankly at the ever-changing phantom in front of it.
Suddenly, a phantom burst out from within Leo’s body, landing three meters away from Nekrotic.
After landing, an exact replica of Leo appeared, except this person standing still like a wax figure.
Then another phantom burst out from the main phantom, landing three meters away from Nekrotic.
After landing, it transformed into another Leo.
This process continued with a third phantom… and a fourth…
Until a total of thirty-five phantoms burst out from the main phantom.
Leo’s main phantom also stopped moving, and he himself materialized, just like the other thirty-five “versions” of himself!
If viewed from above, one would notice that the thirty-six Leos not only had different postures, but their positions also revealed a mysterious pattern.
If the thirty-six Leos were connected by straight lines, one could see that it formed a large formation-the Thirty-Six Tian Gang Formation!
What was even more mysterious was that the Thirty-Six Tian Gang Formation was laid out by Leo using the Mysterious Heaven Body Technique. Its power went far beyond simple addition.
The mysterious fluctuations filled the entire tomb chamber, imprisoning Nekrotic’s movements and rendering it unable to move for a while.
For the first time, fear appeared on Nekrotic’s face, and even the crimson color in its eyes dimmed significantly.
Although Nekrotic couldn’t move, its rigid muscles began to tremble. Then, its once vibrant dragon robe started to carbonize and turn black, quickly falling off its body and turning into black dust upon landing.
“Roar!”
Nekrotic let out a roar, causing the dust from the tomb chamber’s ceiling to fall. Afterward, seven black smokes emerged from Nekrotic’s seven orifices.
Leo thought Nekrotic was about to launch some kind of attack, but to his surprise, the seven black smokes gathered in front of it and quickly transformed into another zombie.
Its form was exactly the same as Nekrotic’s, a complete clone.
The Nekrotic formed by the black aura rushed towards the Leo who was closest to it.
Upon reaching him, a giant fist accompanied by a surge of energy struck.
The motionless Leo remained motionless, even as Nekrotic’s fist shattered like glass upon impact.
“Gah!”
As the Leo shattered, a strange sound echoed in the tomb chamber.
A metallic gleam flashed in front of Nekrotic, and its chest muscles instantly split open, but no blood flowed out.
Unexpectedly, Nekrotic didn’t let out a painful roar. Instead, it took a step and charged towards Leo.
Once again, it struck with an old fist, directly shattering the fake Leo.
“Kong!”
As the fake Leo shattered, another peculiar sound reverberated in the tomb chamber.
At the same time, a blue streak of light passed across Nekrotic’s arm.
Nekrotic’s right arm was slashed open, leaving a ten-centimeter-long gash that exposed the bone.
Nekrotic, like a trapped beast, was driven into a frenzy, smashing the fake Leo, followed by the another fake Leos…
“Roar!”
“Huff!”
“Gah!”
With each shattered Leo, a peculiar sound echoed in the tomb chamber, and a terrifying scar appeared on Nekrotic’s body.
Finally, using its incredibly powerful body, Nekrotic completely shattered all thirty-five Leos.
Its body was covered in numerous wounds, nearly to the point of being tattered. The scarred Nekrotic, formed from black smoke, vanished, and the wounds on its body completely transferred to its main form.
Nekrotic still stood proudly, its crimson glow diminished by half, but it continued to gaze disdainfully at the last Leo.
Nekrotic was not the true progenitor Nekrotic in the strictest sense, so Leo knew that the current Nekrotic was at its last gasp. As long as he exerted a little more effort, victory would undoubtedly be his!
After the fake one attacked Nekrotic, Leo withdrew his posture, feeling the dwindling amount of Spiritual Power within him. It was time to bring out the Purple Radiance dagger.
A purple radiance flashed, directly piercing through Nekrotic’s heart.
Nekrotic’s body shattered like black glass, and then disappeared without a trace.
Just as Brice and the others outside the valley grew anxious and prepared to enter, Leo appeared.
Seeing that Leo’s expression seemed a bit off, Brice asked with concern, “Dr. Bloomer, how is it going? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Mr. Hampton. I’ve resolved half of the problem with your family’s ancestral tomb.”
“Half?” Brice didn’t quite understand.
“We can discuss the details when we get back. Let’s go.”
On the roadside, the driver leaned against the car, holding a cigarette in his mouth, tilting his head at a forty-five-degree angle as he gazed at the sky, appearing relaxed and content.
When he saw the two of them coming out, he took a deep drag and then extinguished the cigarette butt on the ground.
The driver proactively opened the car door for them.
Back in Blue Flower Town, they rented two rooms in an inn. Leo instructed Brice not to disturb him and locked himself in his room.
After comfortably taking a shower, Leo sat cross-legged on the bed and activated the Nine Heavens Star Chart, beginning to restore his Spiritual Power.
The next morning, Leo’s Spiritual Power had fully recovered to its peak state.
Opening the door and stepping out, the sunlight was bright, and the weather was good.
Downstairs, Brice was having breakfast. When he saw Leo coming down, he quickly ordered breakfast for him.
“Dr. Bloomer, are you alright now?” Brice asked.
Leo ate his breakfast and replied, “After resting for a night, I’m fine. I’ve already resolved the issue with the ancient tomb in the valley. However, the geomancy there has been disrupted. Mr. Hampton, if you want to save your father, we must relocate the tomb.”
“Relocate the tomb?” Brice was taken aback, then quickly understood the meaning behind Leo’s statement that half of the problem had been resolved. “Dr. Bloomer, where should my family ancestral tomb be relocated to?”
