The destruction of the Heaven Nether Divine Formation meant there was still hope. If the formation could not be broken, Xing Mo could easily kill all of them with the sheer number of the undead present.
Unless Jiang Yi and company decided not to care about the survival of the alliance army, the Heaven Hidden Sect and the Snow Region, and the entire fate of the Stellarsky Domain! After all, where could they flee to? If this battle was lost, even if Jiang Yi and company fled to the ends of the earth, they would be hunted and killed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The smiles on many people’s mouths had not even formed fully when they swiftly stiffened; a few hollow explosive sounds made everyone’s heart sink again. The ten shadows had flashed, and the Buddha Thearch, Jiang Yi, the Xuan Thearch, the Saint Empress, the Saint Emperor, Jiang Xiaonu, and others were all sent flying. Many people also clearly heard the sound of bones cracking.
Many people finally managed to get a good look at the ten shadows. The ten were undead soldiers in human form wearing black battle armor. Their bodies were hidden within their armor and helmets; only ten pairs of bloodshot eyes could be seen.
The ten zombie soldiers did not have any weapons. They had merely used their simplest attack: their fists. However, this simple punch had broken the Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, the Night Empress, the Buddha Emperor, Jiang Yi, and others’ divine shields. Furthermore, that one attack had dented the chests of the Night Empress and a few others.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ten were all sent crashing into a mountain to the east, creating a huge hole in the mountain. The mountain shook intensely as an avalanche was triggered. Jiang Yi and the others had not managed to fly out, and the ten zombie soldiers had already flown into the mountain.
“This speed…”
The Mo Clan and Xuan Clan clan heads exchanged a look of astonishment. The speed of the ten zombies surpassed that of a nine-star martial expert; it was equivalent to Jiang Xiaonu’s. Moreover, one punch from them could shatter the Buddha Thearch’s divine shield. How strong were they? Could the human race defeat the ten?
Bang!
That mountain in the distance suddenly exploded as a zombie soldier was sent flying. The Saint Emperor’s dragon-and-elephant-like body shot out, his eyes full of rage!
Boom!
Following that, yet another zombie flew out; Jiang Yi had emerged, his expression extremely ugly. It wasn’t because he was hurt; he had realized that the Buddha Thearch and others were severely injured.
The ten zombies had chosen the perfect time to strike. The Buddha Thearch and company had used all their might for that ultimate attack just now; if they had stopped, all would have been for naught. Hence, they were not able to concentrate on defending against the ten zombies’ attacks. The reason why the zombies could easily destroy everyone’s divine shields was also not because their attacking strength was superior; it was because of their corpse auras. Their extremely thick corpse auras!
They had used their corpse auras to corrode everyone’s divine shield and then used their strong might to injure everyone. Jiang Yi had the Mystic Divine Armor while the Saint Emperor’s physical body was as strong as a nine-star. Jiang Xiaonu had also flown out at this moment. As her speed was fast, she had avoided most of the attack. While the three of them had not been severely injured, the others were obviously having trouble.
Swish!
Jiang Yi and the other two shot into the mountain, and soon after, the mountain started to shake incessantly as rocks and stones flew everywhere. Dust filled the skies. Zombies were sent flying by Jiang Yi, the Saint Emperor, and Jiang Xiaonu. Unfortunately, those zombies were very terrifying; after they had been sent flying, they immediately dashed forward again.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Many people flew over to help. The Buddha Thearch and company could not die; if not, who was going to kill Xing Mo? The sixty chieftains from the Death God’s Dense Sea also rushed forward to attack the ten strong zombies, giving Jiang Yi and the others a chance to catch their breaths!
Bang, bang, bang!
Ten shadows flew from the mountains and into the skies. Everyone looked over, and their morale rose. While the Buddha Thearch, the Saint Empress, the Xuan Thearch, the Yin Thearch, and the Night Express looked pale and were obviously injured; they seemed to still have some fight left in them!
“Keke!”
After the Heaven Nether Divine Formation had been broken apart, Xing Mo and the others had not moved at all. Now that the Buddha Thearch and others had flown into the skies, Xing Mo smiled faintly and asked, “Having fun?”
“No!”
Jiang Yi shouted as his body flew towards the Heaven Fate Ship like a sharp sword. The Buddha Thearch and company followed swiftly behind him. The ten zombies’ defensive abilities were exceptionally strong; their bodies seemed to have been made of cold, hard steel. Even the Buddha Thearch and company would take a long time to kill them. They could not rely on the humans below either; they would be easily hurt by these zombies.
However, everyone had thrown caution to the wind. The Heaven Nether Divine Formation had been broken. If they did not make good use of this opportunity, there would not be a second!
“Not fun? Then let’s do something fun instead.”
Xing Mo glanced up into the high heavens as Xing Mengwan smiled faintly, and she swiftly sent forth gales of black auras. Every time a force of black aura was sent out, the ground underneath would shatter; and a zombie like the ten black armored ones would appear and block everyone’s path.
Five, ten… fifty… a hundred!
In a mere few minutes, another hundred zombies that were as fast as Jiang Yi and had heaven-defying defensive abilities had appeared and blocked Jiang Yi and company’s path. These zombies were dancing about like gusts of wind, showing no signs of fear. Perhaps they did not know what fear was. They surrounded everyone and attacked fanatically as Jiang Yi and company immediately found themselves in trouble.
“It’s all over…”
At this moment, everyone’s hearts sank. A hundred and ten strong zombies were enough to tire the wounded Buddha Thearch and company to death. Although Jiang Yi and the Saint Emperor’s defenses were exceptional, Jiang Xiaonu’s speed was fast, and the zombies’ attacks could not severely hurt them; how long could the trio last? Once the Buddha Thearch and others were killed, what could the three accomplish?
“The entire Stellarsky Domain is filled with creatures that I had nurtured and bred. I can kill at will and even… destroy the entire Stellarsky Domain, to birth another civilization!”
Xing Mo’s words surfaced in countless people’s brains; what he said suddenly seemed to make much sense. Everyone also understood why the Sword Thearch, the Beast Thearch, and the North Thearch were willing to be Xing Mo’s lackeys. The power that Xing Mo had was too strong. It was comparable to the Mystic Thearch’s back then; it was unrivaled!
The Heaven Nether Sect was number one among the Ten Concealed Sects. They never vied for supremacy and never intervened in the battles of the continent. Though there had been many crises on the continent over the years—with the Nine Thearch Clans almost destroyed a couple of times, the Heaven Nether Sect had never once revealed itself.
At this moment, everyone understood why the Heaven Nether Sect did not once enter the fray. They were already the Stellarsky Domain’s Overlords. As what Xing Mo had said, he could kill whoever he wanted, maim whoever he pleased. He could deploy the forces of the undead anytime he wanted and eliminate the entire Stellarsky Domain.
Since the Heaven Nether Sect possessed such power, why did Xing Mo have to hatch so many plots and set so many traps? Why did he have to set a trap within the Death God’s Dense Sea? Couldn’t he have just deployed the undead army and destroyed the formidable martial artists in the Stellarsky Domain?
This question surfaced in Jiang Yi’s brain. However, a cry from the Night Empress quickly brought him back to reality.
He furiously waved his Fire Dragon Sword and hacked at one of the zombies. He saw the Night Empress’ blood-covered body falling downwards as his gaze looked towards the zombies engaging in battle with Jiang Xiaonu and the Saint Emperor. A crazed look appeared in his eyes as he sent a voice transmission: “Long Qu, Xiaonu, cover me. I will go and kill Xing Mo.”
