Chapter 407: Chapter 286: A Mountain of Corpses and a Sea of Blood (Additional Release)

"I can’t be wrong; even from afar, I can feel the eerie aura, just like rotten rats in the sewers—the kind of smell that always makes one nauseous. I thought I wouldn’t encounter it again after coming to this world, but it seems I can’t escape it. It looks like I’m just fated to deal with the supernatural. Oh well, let’s go check it out."

On a street in Tian Han City, Yang Wei let out a sigh, skillfully throwing a cola bottle into a trash can several meters away, then forcefully accelerated towards a certain direction.

His strength was astonishing, each step easily crushing the pavement. This powerful force almost had him flying close to the ground, moving through the city streets and roads at an incredible speed.

The wind howled past his ears, and the scenery retreated rapidly before his eyes.

Even so, Yang Wei still felt it was too slow.

Not being able to arrive in an instant always felt uncomfortable to him, for he disliked being late. After all, in his world, being late could cost many lives.

Quickly.

Yang Wei crossed countless streets, bypassed who knows how many roads, moving faster than the city’s cars, eventually plunging headfirst into AnDing District of Tian Han City.

"Which Evolver is running wildly here? Don’t they know this is AnDing District? Tone it down."

A passerby, a Spiritual Perception Master, frowned. He intended to stop the behavior of the person in front of him, but his Spiritual Sense crazily sounded an alarm as soon as he was about to step forward.

A strong sense of crisis emerged.

This made him abruptly halt, abandoning the idea of taking action, watching as Yang Wei sprinted past him.

"How strange... this person is definitely not a strong figure of the Soul Realm, but why does he instill such fear?" The Spiritual Perception Master was puzzled, but he still followed his instincts.

AnDing District No. 8.

When Yang Wei followed the familiar aura to this address, his expression changed immediately: "A ghost realm? And this supernatural power... I get it now. I thought some escaped creature had made its way to this world, but it turns out that the ghost that’s with Li Yi has started losing control. Seems he’s really unlucky, getting caught by the Ghost Post Office during dimensional travel, and shortly after returning, things around him go haywire."

With just one glance, Yang Wei roughly understood what was happening.

But then he bowed his head in thought.

Wasn’t this making it hard for him?

He wasn’t a Ghost Tamer currently, unable to confront such a degree of supernatural power. If he got trapped inside, he would be doomed as his own power wasn’t meant to confront fierce ghosts. However, he couldn’t stand by either; an out-of-control supernatural incident like this could doom the whole city.

"Let’s go inside first, he’ll be my backup anyway."

Yang Wei’s expression calm, he didn’t hesitate to rush into the mansion shrouded in darkness before him.

Others might get lost in the ghost realm, but for him, as long as he found the way, getting lost wasn’t an issue—though it was easy to get in, it was hard to get out.

Meanwhile.

Li Yi felt the pain in his brain lessening a lot, but he forgot many things, like why he came to Tian Han City, his mother’s matters, and the content of Professor Zhang’s lecture... Yet, even though his memory was tampered with once again, the incident right in front of his eyes suddenly woke him up.

A dense mass of bodies fell from above, engulfing both him and Lin Yue, not simply dead things but rather alive, each body moving. They desperately tore at each person, trying to make them a part of the countless bodies.

Li Yi, too, felt countless cold hands trying to rip apart his body with great strength, almost as if wanting to tear him to pieces.

Luckily, he was an Evolver, with a fairly high physical quality that barely resisted the attack, but the cold aura that invaded his body made him suddenly sober up.

"Sister Lin..." he shouted loudly.

"I’m here."

Lin Yue immediately responded; she was squeezed by the bodies, submerged among them, but temporarily there was no danger to her life, simply because that strange woman hadn’t targeted her, she was just incidentally involved.

However, even if it was merely incidental, without a quick solution, they were doomed.

"Sister Lin, let’s fight our way out together." Li Yi roared, mobilizing his Qi-Blood, unleashing Jin Qi from his body in an instant, creating a small space among the countless bodies.

Then, he swung his fists like a torrential downpour, marks of fists pervading the air, Jin Qi exploding outwards.

Under this power, the bodies were forcefully blasted open to create an opening, but it was still futile. No matter how much he punched, he couldn’t completely annihilate them. Even if he smashed some heads and blew bodies apart, they still moved, continuously rushing at him.

Seeing this.

The memories that were tampered with and had vanished resurged in Li Yi’s mind once again.

"These bodies are all from the 36th world; they cannot be killed by normal means no matter what. To deal with them, one must possess supernatural power of a similar level."

While throwing his punches, Li Yi moved closer to Lin Yue. Although it seemed futile, he carved out a small area to stand his ground, powered by his strong physique and vigorous Fist Power.

Lin Yue was pulled out from the multitude of dead bodies, her body covered with sticky blood and broken limbs, looking extremely miserable. Hearing Li Yi’s words, she changed, "Ghosts from the 36th world? How come?"

After all, it was Li Yi’s mother who had caused such a situation.

If these were supernatural entities from the 36th world, then did it mean Li Yi’s mother was a ghost from that world?

"During the last soul crossing, I encountered many fierce ghosts and supernatural entities—I can’t be mistaken about this feeling. If we want to survive this, there’s only one way: find the source of the supernatural and deal with it; otherwise, we will be consumed alive here."

Li Yi abruptly retracted his punch, with a fierce Gang Qi bursting forth from around his body.

This Gang Qi protected both himself and Lin Yue by his side, while also blocking the corpses that were lunging at them from outside.

It was the Zhou Tian Gang Qi obtained from the Fan Family across the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

However, Li Yi had just started his journey of Refining Gang, and the Gang Qi he had condensed wasn’t abundant; it could only support him for a fleeting moment and was not long-lasting. Therefore, Li Yi quickly took the opportunity to take out an old, cracked short stick.

This short stick was the sole reward Li Yi gained from his last soul crossing—a spiritual weapon capable of combatting fierce ghosts at the expense of the user’s lifespan with each use.

Li Yi didn’t want to use the short stick against these corpses, but intended to target the source instead, as there were too many corpses here. Even if he exhausted his lifespan, he would not be able to eliminate many.

"That thing went towards Professor Zhang Songlin’s direction, over there; it’s not far, but we can’t break through," Lin Yue said this moment, gritting her teeth as she pointed in a direction.

Such a short distance of just a few dozen meters could exhaust someone to death.

"There’s no other way; we have to fight for it."

Li Yi was very clear about the difficulty, but he couldn’t simply give up because it was hard. If they just struggled here, that would truly be a path leading to certain death.

"Alright, then let’s join forces to clear a path," Lin Yue decided, steeling her heart for the battle.

"That’s the spirit," Li Yi nodded in agreement.

As the surrounding Gang Qi was depleted, the nearby corpses once again struggled painfully, surging towards the two of them.

At this moment, the two of them did not retreat but advanced instead. Their Fist Power was unleashed without restraint. Drawing on their robust Qi-Blood and solid strength, they brutally fought their way through the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. Wherever they went, they left behind severed limbs and an overpowering stench of blood.

Yet the cost of advancing was the frantic depletion of their physical strength. Even the Evolver’s sturdy physique struggled to sustain the effort.

Not long after, Lin Yue had exhausted her strength. She couldn’t control her Qi-Blood, and her Fist Power dispersed. Her punch could no longer blast through the corpses in front of her. Instead, her punch buried into the chest of a corpse, and when she retracted her fist, it was smeared with blood. Such attacks didn’t kill the opponent; they only slowed her own progress.

That’s why she lacked the confidence to fight all the way through; as Li Yi said, they might still have a chance if they fought for it. Without fighting, the only path left was death.

"Sister Lin, rest for a moment, I’ll handle it," Li Yi said, still throwing punches. As a Martial Artist of the Refining Realm who had opened the nine acupoints, his Qi-Blood was extremely vigorous, so his Fist Power continued to rage.

Yet without Lin Yue’s assistance, even standing became difficult for him, and each step forward came at a great cost.

Still, Li Yi didn’t give up.

If he was already finding it so difficult, the other Spiritual Perception Masters stuck in the fray were suffering even more. Having used up their strength, they could no longer move and coul only barely cling to life by relying on their strong physiques.

Wang Bo and Zhang Tao were in a relatively better situation.

They were Soul Realm experts who had unlocked the shackles of their bodies. Facing these corpses, they had more than enough capability to protect themselves, but that was the extent of it. They could do no more.

"Boom!"

Meanwhile, over where Zhang Songlin was, the constant sounds of thunder and lightning continued. But what he faced were not just the piled-up corpses, but wave after wave of sinister women drawing closer to him.

Facing these terrifying beings, all he could do was wield his lightning to strike them down, preventing them from approaching.

"It’s pointless to continue like this; I’ve been too careless this time. Lin Yue had already cautioned me that something dreadful was entangling me, and I did not take it seriously enough. Only now do I face such a dire calamity," Zhang Songlin sighed helplessly in his mind, prepared for soul crossing.

It would be better to return to that world ravaged by demons than to die like this.

However, just when everyone was in despair.

A figure cut through the ghost realm and arrived at the scene.

"Looks quite complicated here..."

Yang Wei surveyed the mountain of corpses and rivers of blood before him, along with the eerie figures steadily emerging from the darkness, immediately grasping the terrifying level of these ghosts.

Ghost realm, ghost minions, restarting oneself, possessing some kind of lethal spiritual power—these ghosts were not easy to contend with at all.

No wonder all the Evolvers were stumped.

"I can’t deal with this thing right now. If I don’t want everyone to die here, the only option left is for him to take action," Yang Wei sighed. He stood still, waiting for the portal for crossing worlds to open.

If he died here today, his future self would surely be aware.

If he survived, then his future self would also know about what happened today.

Time had no meaning for him.

Hence, he didn’t need to do anything. His future self would resolve the situation unless he chose not to intervene.

The outcome was already decided.

Yang Wei just needed to wait.
