The Zombie Demon King of the Latter-Day Dharma: Frightening the Last Heavenly Master to Death

The good news: after dying in a car crash, he was reborn and bound to the Corpse King Evolution System, where gathering fear allows for infinite evolution. The bad news: he woke up as a purple-fanged corpse locked inside a coffin—and the mountain above him is none other than Mount Longhu, the sacred headquarters of Taoism! When a fearless outdoor live-streamer happens to broadcast a graveyard investigation right over his resting place, Lu Yuan decides to make an appearance. Terrified out of her wits, the anchor flees straight into the Heavenly Master's Mansion for sanctuary. Inside, the venerable current Heavenly Master calmly reassures the trembling host and her hundred thousand online viewers, "Young lady, this is the Latter-Day Dharma era; we must believe in science. If there were really a zombie, my family's heirloom compass—passed down for generations—would be spinning like a ceiling fan by now..." Before he can even finish his sentence, the long-dormant Nine-Palace Eight-Trigrams Exorcism Compass suddenly begins spinning at blinding speed, nearly taking flight. The Heavenly Master: "Believe in science!" The Compass: *Screw science, run for your lives!* With the sect's ultimate artifact spinning so fast it's smoking, just what kind of apocalyptic corpse demon king is buried in the back mountains?!
