Chapter 354: Chapter 243: Great Sounds are Seldom Heard

Dark light interwove to create four towering dark portals erected amidst the air, gigantic as pillars supporting heaven and earth.

Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling!!!

Countless Ratmen, Insect Men, and Snake-men surged forth from within, charging towards the Undead Army amid the piercing sound of bugles!

Among the formations, dozens of Dark Magicians chanted hymns, bestowing layer upon layer of magic protection onto the legions.

Group Berserk, Blood Frenzy, Good Battle Formation, Enhanced Recovery Speed, Swift Movement...

"Roar!!!"

The diminutive bodies of Ratmen, Snake-men, and Insect Men erupted with resounding roars, akin to ancient savage beasts, their eyes bloodshot, aglow with crimson flames, their bodies inflating like pumped up, becoming fiercer in battle, reckless and unafraid of death.

Clutching axes and spears, they fervently lunged at the densely packed throng of Yin Soul Undead.

Even swifter than them were the blood-red Red Spider Lilies sprouting from the soil and the sinister silhouettes of the Dark Race emerging from the shadows!

The Red Spider Lilies were stunningly gorgeous, their delicate dark vines rapidly growing, blossoming into beautiful flowers and spreading into a sea of brilliant crimson, in an instant, dozens of Undead wilted like plants, turning into heaps of shriveled skeletons, crumbling upon touch!

The methods of the Dark Race were even more bizarre and brutal; when the shadows of the Undead underwent transformation, revealing fierce contours, it signaled the descent of the Dark Race, and those Undead were torn apart without even a moment to react.

Under the assault of the Red Spider Lilies and the Dark Race, the Undead Army suffered significant damage from the onset, their formation broke, and the armies of the Three Royal Families pressed forward, splitting the battlefield and engaging in fierce combat with the Dead Spirits and zombies.

In tandem with this, was the long-range firepower from the rear.

Although their development was brief, the scholars among the Dark Creatures had still managed to craft many hot weapons; albeit crudely fashioned, reminiscent of shoddy goods from an unscrupulous workshop, their power should not be underestimated.

Dozens of cannons fired in unison, accurately targeting the Undead Army under the guidance of Spiritual Energy positioning, stirring up turbulent air currents, burying everything in fiery destruction.

The weaker Undead were shattered to pieces in an instant, while the stronger Undead, who could normally disregard hot weapons, were now besieged and struggled to assert themselves.

Boom!

The thunderous explosion spread, and numerous Ratmen and Snake-men burst open, sending a shower of blood rain; a tall and burly undead Warrior swung his iron fists, bearing curses and negative magic states wracking his body, he forcefully carved a bloody path through the encirclement.

His skin displayed a bronze metallic hue, covered in wicked magic patterns, it was clear that in life he must have been a Martial Arts Grandmaster; each of his strikes resonated with the thunderous sound of wind and lightning, aggressively bulldozing through the battlefield, nearly breaking through the lines single-handedly.

In the air, several Dark Fallen Angels spread their pitch-black wings, their stern and majestic faces void of any expression. Raising the burning blades in their hands, they scattered a light of annihilation.

As fiery beams rose one after another, the infernal flames from hell roared fiercely, the scent of sulfur spreading with the scorching storm.

Blood spurted.

Several Fallen Fire Blades pierced the Warrior Undead’s body, extinguishing his essence while largely preserving his corpse, which was swiftly retrieved by a group of Ratmen and carried into the Dark Plane.

Behind the barrier, Xuan Luo’s expression flickered slightly; that Warrior Undead was one of the strongest few he controlled, yet it died so quickly...

Although he was reluctant to admit it, his army of the Undead seemed somewhat frail before these Dark Creatures.

Moments later, Xuan Luo activated the imitation of the Sea God Trident in his hand; he had to take action, or else the annihilation of the Undead Army would be inevitable.

Moreover, from the beginning, he had lost his lock on Zhou Yuan. The man had vanished without a trace, surely preparing something in the cover of darkness.

Whoosh!

A towering tsunami suddenly swept across, its tremendous mass shaking heaven and earth, its formidable power enough to rock a city.

If this tsunami were to strike down, the legions would lose more than two-thirds of their numbers!

Suddenly, a surge of scarlet blood waves burst forth, fiercely colliding with the towering tsunami, the clash of tides echoing in all directions, forcibly dispersing the destructive giant wave.

Endless tides of blood surged, weaving into a vast and bizarre vortex. All undead caught within the swirling blood were dissolved by its humming flow, turning the sea of blood an even more striking and lurid red.

"Bloodwater Cataclysm!"

Fang Qing knew the effects of the imitation Sea God Trident and, after one strike, she retracted the boiling sea of blood and turned her attention to those powerful undead, killing them one by one.

With the formidable dead spirits taken care of, the undead army was like sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

At the same time, Tang Qingsha, White Tower, Electric Mouse, Snow Banshee, and others joined the battlefield, enveloped in blood-fire and melee combat.

The situation was nearly one-sided; it didn’t take long for more than a thousand undead to be mostly wiped out. The battle line advanced, and from behind countless shifty Ratmen appeared to clear the field, collecting every carcass. They spared not even limbs or a single bone.

Within the barrier, the sacrificial ritual was still underway. The members of the Corpse Immortal Association hastened their pace; after killing all the offerings, they began to sacrifice themselves. A faint divine aura even began to swirl around the divine statue, making it seem more lifelike and animated.

Xuan Luo, holding the trident, showed no emotion. He released his perception, focusing on searching for Zhou Yuan’s location.

Other advanced combat powers from the Corpse Immortal Association joined in, but all found nothing. Zhou Yuan had vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air.

Xuan Luo’s forehead started to sweat, and a growing sense of unease intensified in his heart.

Dragging the situation out actually worked in their favor, as the ritual would be completely finished in just three more minutes. But intuition told him—it wouldn’t reach that moment!

Perhaps the next second would bring an attack powerful enough to destroy everything.

Just when everyone was on high alert searching for Zhou Yuan, an abrupt change occurred. The defense barrier, strong enough to withstand nuclear weapons, collapsed without warning right under their noses!

The members of the Corpse Immortal Association were stunned, in shock, struggling to comprehend what had happened.

[Name: Barrier Breaking Talisman]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Special Effect: Select a barrier to shatter. A one-time item, disappears after use.]

[Note: This talisman was created by a cultivator who exhaustively dedicated his life to it. It can shatter any barrier—He once watched his entire sect die before his eyes, separated only by a seemingly insignificant barrier.]

This was an item Zhou Yuan had just purchased from the game store, perfectly suited to the task at hand.

As the barrier collapsed, what rose in its stead were two fierce and majestic orbs of light, one black and one white.

The vast orbs turned, each dominating half of the sky. Day and night were clearly divided, with one side bright and resplendent, and the other dark and profound. The immense forces of Yin and Yang flowed powerfully, pressing down on heaven and earth. The sight was astounding.

The return to ruins commenced, and all Dark Creatures withdrew to the Dark Plane, for the next strike would be one of absolute cataclysm and destruction.

Boom!!!

As the two divine orbs of sun collided, the force they unleashed made the entire world tremble, even generating waves of chaotic light that obliterated all in its path, bringing terrible collapse to all things.

Great Silence!

Such an apocalyptic vista unfolded without a sound, save for the boundless power of destruction spreading vast and far, devouring everything.

[Every member of the Corpse Immortal Association died, but a formidable foe arrived in time to save the Corpse Immortal Divine Statue.]

Above the turbulent expanse of the Chaos Sea, a man with white hair, dressed elegantly in a white suit but exuding an air of wickedness, appeared.

One of his arms was severely burned, skin split and flesh burst open, revealing white bone, and the object he was holding was none other than the Corpse Immortal Divine Statue.

Duke of Pale Death from the Land of Truth!

The Duke of Pale Death’s gaze pierced the void, landing on Zhou Yuan several kilometers away. He grinned at him and said, "To hold together two distinct and opposing divine powers within oneself and still perfectly control them without exploding on the spot—you’re impressive, Zhou Yuan.

If I hadn’t arrived in time, your interference might have truly jeopardized our plan this time."
