Chapter 537: Zombie Giant

Logically speaking, as a cultivator unafraid of ghosts and demons, and one who fears death not at all, even facing any scene, he should not scream in terror. Moreover, Su Che, who was over a hundred feet away, saw nothing at all—this situation was definitely extremely abnormal. Through the soul connection function of the fourth layer of the Immortal Prison, Lao He confirmed that this soul slave wasn’t witnessing some terrifying scene but rather was directly affected by some force. Even if he couldn’t see anything, he would still experience extreme fear deep in his heart, even at the soul level.

With a thud! The soul slave at the Golden Core stage collapsed straight to the ground, his mind shattered—he had died of fear.

Su Che knew clearly that this wasn’t the ordinary kind of fright but rather a mental force akin to divine spells, capable of driving a person’s fear to its extreme without any reason. Even if one wasn’t afraid in heart, they could still die of fear.

Turning the impossible into possible—that is true power. There are already many unexplainable mysterious forces in the world. Likely, this stone coffin also possessed one of them.

“If no one can get close, how can we open the coffin?”

Such a setback certainly wouldn’t deter Su Che; he merely pondered how to solve the problem.

With that thought, Su Che turned around and used telepathy to ask the nearby Snow Jade Fairy, “Is there any way to open the coffin and take a look?”

If an enemy’s wisdom could be utilized, why not use it? Su Che didn’t care about face—only practical benefits mattered.

“I do have a way to open the coffin, but…”

Snow Jade Fairy asked mysteriously, “Are you sure you won’t regret it no matter what happens?”

“In this situation, there’s nothing to regret. Surviving is the top priority—no matter how great the risk,” Su Che replied solemnly. “Do you think there might be a Survival Order inside this coffin?”

“Definitely!”

Her confident tone was somewhat surprising, but her next explanation led people to think of many things: “I have full confidence in finding people and things.”

Su Che nodded silently, thinking, “No wonder you could find me no matter where I hid…”

“Then tell me how to open the coffin. If you don’t want to get involved in this danger, you can stay far away,” Su Che said calmly.

In truth, he also wished she would stay far away, so he wouldn’t have to worry about her plotting harm behind his back.
“If you summon another loyal servant willing to die for you, I can give him a hand,” said Snow Jade Fairy in her usual calm tone.
Soul slaves willing to die for them were abundant in the Immortal Prison. Su Che simply summoned another guilty Golden Core slave and instructed him to go to Snow Jade Fairy.
She immediately took out a light blue spirit talisman, cast several gestures on it, and with a light tap of her fingers, the talisman disappeared into the soul slave’s forehead.
After that, she transmitted a message to Su Che: “This talisman can protect his mind from external threats, but I estimate he will still die when the stone coffin is opened.”
Su Che nodded silently, unconcerned about the slave’s life or death. He was meant to be a scapegoat anyway; even if not killed this way, he would face other forms of death punishment in the Immortal Prison world.
Although the laws of the Immortal Prison world hadn’t fully taken shape yet, Su Che believed the most important truth among them should be: Good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring punishment!
Whether that was true in the outside universe or not, his Immortal Prison must follow this principle!
With Snow Jade Fairy’s spirit talisman for protection, the soul slave, following Su Che’s instructions, approached the stone coffin.
When he was about fifty zhang away, he suddenly froze, then began to tremble violently, unable to control it. Fortunately, he didn’t scream and managed to keep moving toward his target.
“That woman’s protective talisman is really effective,” muttered Old Black. “Judging from the feedback from the fourth layer of the Immortal Prison, his soul is under attack, but he can still hold on.”
“That’s good…”
Su Che nodded inwardly. He still had to divide his attention—monitoring the process of opening the stone coffin while also keeping an eye on Snow Jade Fairy not far behind.
Comparatively, Su Che felt that Snow Jade Fairy was the most dangerous factor, surpassing all the dangers encountered in this survival game…
At this moment, the soul slave had reached the giant stone coffin, trembling uncontrollably. His face, once as pale as snow, had turned a deathly grayish-blue.
“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”
The sound of his teeth chattering could be clearly heard by Su Che, who was hundreds of zhang away.

To fully complete the task assigned by their master, these soul slaves can abandon everything, or it can also be attributed to their unparalleled willpower, which allows them to persevere to this point. However, as Princess Xueyu said, by this stage, they have already exhausted much of their life force—literally burning their souls. Even without external threats, their lives will be short after this task. Unless Su Che and Lao He are willing to risk their own lives to save them… In front of the stone coffin, the slave trembled as he slowly grasped the lid. The moment his palms touched it, he shuddered violently; his vital energy seemed to drain rapidly, his skin cracked instantly, and his muscles atrophied swiftly… “Ah!” With a roar, he unleashed the greatest potential of his life, along with all his remaining strength. With a crack… the heavy coffin lid was pushed open slightly. Bang! Then he collapsed backward, losing all signs of life. Even though only a small gap was created, he still completed the task assigned by his master in his final moments. The lid of the stone coffin was opened! A hundred feet away, Su Che held his breath involuntarily, thinking, “It’s just a small gap. I wonder if it will work. Do I need to send someone else to create a larger opening?” As soon as this thought arose, the answer became clear. Whoosh! A thick stream of black smoke emerged from the stone coffin, instantly covering an area of several dozen feet around it. Yet, using his divine vision, Su Che was still able to see through the smoke and the coffin. Suddenly, a huge gray-black hand emerged from the gap in the lid. It grabbed the edge of the lid and slowly pushed it, widening the gap further. The dead person inside the coffin had awakened and was about to emerge! Su Che had already imagined such a scene before. Of course, there were other possibilities as well… Bang! The massive coffin lid, ten feet long, four feet wide, and several feet thick, was completely flipped over and crashed to the ground. Then, a giant with a robust build but almost naked slowly sat up from inside the coffin. His gray-black skin clearly indicated he was not of normal origin, yet his strong muscles had not atrophied, and his features did not appear evil or terrifying—they instead exuded a sense of dignity and strength.

When he opened his eyes, those same grayish-black, turbid eyeballs fixed on Su Che, staring at him intently as if silently questioning, “Why disturb my long sleep?”
To Su Che, none of this mattered. The only thing he couldn’t understand was that the two servants who had gone to open the stone coffin earlier had suffered from a fear-induced mental disturbance, yet this giant zombie before him didn’t seem particularly terrifying. Could it be that the fear originated from the stone coffin itself, rather than the person inside?
Boom!
The zombie giant leaped out of the stone coffin holding a huge iron rod. By the time it hit the ground, Su Che had already seen clearly that there was a small crimson token tied to the beastskin apron around the giant’s waist—it was indeed a survival token.
“That old guy is really despicable!”
In the Immortal Prison, Lao He immediately muttered, “Putting a survival token on a giant zombie? It’s fucking disgusting!”
“Another giant…”
Su Che slowly shook his head, thinking, “This survival game seems to involve giants. Last time it was a purple giant; now it’s a zombie giant… Well, since it’s a battle of giants, it’s time for Xiao He to step in.”
So, Xiao He, wielding a double-bladed axe, appeared once again. But this time, without any food temptations like purple energy currents, it seemed he could engage in a straight-up fight with the opponent.
However, the so-called battle of giants was just Su Che’s speculation. What he saw next wasn’t the zombie giant attacking him or Xiao He frantically, but rather…
With a series of grunts, the zombie giant actually spoke to Xiao He. Unfortunately, what it said wasn’t the common language used in both the Immortal and Mortal realms, but rather some extremely ancient language.
“I’m sorry, we don’t understand your language,” Su Che said politely, bowing slightly.
“Oh, the language of the Immortal Realm.”
The zombie giant immediately switched to another language, with a slightly strange pronunciation, but Su Che could still understand it.
The giant glanced at Su Che, then turned its gaze back to Xiao He and asked, “Can you speak?”
“Sorry, he can’t speak,” Su Che quickly interjected. “But through me, you can still communicate normally.”
“Good!”
The zombie giant nodded and asked, “I want to know why he has such pure Chaos energy within him.”

“This is our secret; it’s not convenient to reveal,” Su Che replied calmly. “But since you’ve asked, what’s your opinion or need regarding the Power of Chaos?”
“I do!”
The zombie giant spoke very directly, nodding and saying, “I want to demand a portion of the Power of Chaos from him. If he refuses, I’ll take it by force!”
Su Che laughed heartily. “If you need the Power of Chaos, there’s no need for such trouble. We can simply exchange things.”
“Exchange?”
The zombie giant’s rigid facial features showed a strange expression as he waved his giant iron rod, declaring loudly, “Apart from my weapon, I have nothing else to exchange. If you want it, it’s impossible!”
“Don’t worry. It’s not that I want.”
As the conversation progressed, Su Che became increasingly relaxed, feeling that good luck might be on his side—perhaps he could easily obtain this Survival Permit!
