World Version Updates

Amidst the ghostly mist that filled the sky, the Space Corpse King could clearly sense hundreds of Yin Soldiers traversing through the mist, continually harvesting the wandering souls of zombies.

The Soul Hook could easily extend over hundreds of meters, and ordinary zombies would take less than a second in front of that chain before their wandering souls were stripped away, leaving behind a pile of scattered white bones.

Even Extraordinary Zombies in the early and mid stages of Qi Cultivation were utterly incapable of resisting against the organized Yin Soldiers. The Soul Hook would ensnare them and suppress them in an instant, dragging them into the depths of the dense ghostly mist.

In this chaotic slaughter aimed at zombies, only the Corpse Kings at the Foundation Establishment Stage could resist. However, the thick ghostly mist seemed to possess mysterious array properties, trapping the Foundation Establishment Corpse Kings once they charged in, making it impossible for them to touch the Soul-Hooking Yin Soldiers.

In the depths of the ghostly mist where the Space Corpse King couldn't see, Lu Yan controlled the Soul Banner in his hand, sending hundreds of wandering souls into it every second.

Within the small world inside the Soul Banner, the Giant Spirit God and the Dharma Protector were responsible for refining the souls collected into the small world.

Originally, the refining speed of the Soul Banner wasn't fast. When Lu Yan slaughtered a hundred thousand zombies in the past, he was only able to condense eight hundred wandering souls due to the limitation of refining speed.

But after the Ghost God and the Dharma Protector completed the Ghost God Computer modification, everything changed.

Lu Yan released the restrictions, allowing the Giant Spirit God and Dharma Protector to assist in the refining. One after another, fierce ghost soul bodies rapidly formed and were sent to the Blood God.

The Blood God, who had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, had long blood-red hair flying, the strands of which, imbued with Spiritual Ability Code, transformed into sharp chisels, carving Spiritual Ability Codes onto these fierce ghost soul bodies, completing their transformation into Yin Soldiers.

These transformed Yin Soldiers would immediately charge out of the Soul Banner, ravenously harvesting zombie wandering souls to provide a continuous supply of material for the Soul Banner.

Though Lu Yan was merely dispatching Yin Soldiers to slaughter zombies, for some reason, the Space Corpse King standing in the center of the city felt a tinge of fear.

The boundless ghostly mist seemed like a chaotic beast continuously devouring living beings, bringing about a disaster that the Corpse King could not withstand if left unchecked.

The black ghostly mist flowed between the ruins of the streets like a cold, dark river.

The Space Corpse King's figure appeared and disappeared within the mist, his decayed shell exuding a twisted oppression, with silver spatial marks circling around him, tearing reality into cracks.

"Die!"

Vast spatial rifts appeared before the Yin Soldiers, intending to completely tear apart these soul-harvesting specters.

Like fish swimming in the night, the Yin Soldiers darted through under the ghostly mist's protection.

Whenever a spatial fissure swept past, they would hide under the cover of broken walls or with their ethereal bodies retreat deep into the earth. The swirling void within the Corpse King's hollow eye sockets would repeatedly tear the void but only capture traces of lingering Yin energy.

The Space Corpse King was unaware that during the long pursuit, the Giant Spirit God had already gleaned the Corpse King's attack methods. Before the ghostly mist enveloped the entire city, the evasion program compiled in advance by the Giant Spirit God had been integrated into all Yin Soldiers.

Every action of the Space Corpse King, every spatial fluctuation surrounding him, was monitored by the hundreds of hidden Yin Soldiers within the ghostly mist, who preemptively deduced the attack methods to evade them.

If it were the demon version, the Nether Abyss Realm expert who mastered the Path of Space would notice the Giant Spirit God's subtle maneuvers the instant these Yin Soldiers evaded, thus changing the attack strategy.

But in the apocalypse version, he was merely a Golden Core Corpse King who grasped Spatial Ability.

Such prowess allowed him to roam unchecked in the apocalypse, finding almost no equal, not to mention having any experience in magical duels.

No matter how strong or wise he was, the innate limitation of lacking the Heaven and Earth Souls and the gap in magical duel experience made it impossible for him to perceive the underlying reasons.

The shattered high-rise buildings collapsed under the Corpse King's spatial turbulence, with silver space fragments shimmering like mirrors amidst the ruins.

Whether diving underground or hiding behind walls, the Power of Space could only tear apart strands of dissipating ghostly mist. Eerie silver light flowed between the Corpse King's decaying finger bones, yet it could never capture those smoke-like, mist-like figures.

The ghostly mist grew denser, seemingly mocking this master of space. The Yin Soldiers wandered within, using the cover of the city's wreckage, while wantonly reaping countless zombie wandering souls and playing a game of hide-and-seek with this formidable Corpse King.

This battle lasted for half a day. Even with the Giant Spirit God's preemptive strategy, the powerful attacks of the Space Corpse King forcefully shattered hundreds of Yin Soldiers.

However, the Space Corpse King now suddenly realized that the very Yin Soldiers he had vanquished were reappearing in the city, their cultivation having risen significantly, from the mid-stage to the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

This was, of course, thanks to the Soul Banner; the Yin Soldiers were long bound to it, their soul lights preserved within.

Unless powerful divine techniques were used to completely obliterate the Yin Soldiers' souls, they could easily be reborn by supplying ample Soul Power.

Driving the Yin Soldiers to slaughter the entire ruined city, the one thing Lu Yan didn't lack was wandering souls.

A supply of hundreds of thousands of wandering souls was so vast that even the combined refining efforts of the Giant Spirit God and the Dharma Protector couldn't deplete it, leaving the excess souls to convert into Soul Power, reshaping the soul body and augmenting the Yin Soldiers' cultivation.

The number of Yin Soldiers, nurtured through battle, not only increased but their cultivation also exhibited explosive growth, with the majority of the Yin Soldiers reaching the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

With the triggering of a Spiritual Link, there were originally over 400,000 zombies in the city's ruins, including three Corpse Kings in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In just half a day, out of the four hundred thousand zombies, only half were left, even a Foundation Establishment Stage Corpse King had been killed.

This was because after the subsequent zombies were frantically slaughtered, they began to flee in all directions, dispersing throughout the entire city, causing significant trouble for the Yin Soldiers. Additionally, the interference of the Space Corpse King slowed down the killing speed significantly.

Had it not been for this, half a day would have been more than enough to slaughter the entire ruined city clean.

This situation finally made the Space Corpse King feel a burst of fear.

He no longer pursued those Yin Soldiers hidden in the ghost mist but instead began to actively search for Lu Yan's traces in the mist.

As the Space Corpse King forcibly broke into the ghost mist, those late-stage Qi Cultivation Yin Soldiers couldn't even interfere; they could only watch as the Corpse King rushed into a pile of building ruins.

Here, the Space Corpse King finally discovered Lu Yan's aura.

Under the cover of the ghost mist, he continually refined a large number of wandering souls, as one by one, newly born Yin Soldiers strode out from the Soul Banner.

The Space Corpse King had forgotten the purpose of chasing Lu Yan; at this moment, he just wanted to kill Lu Yan and eradicate the fear this ant was bringing him.

His decayed right hand opened, and countless spatial imprints poured down like a torrential rain, weaving into a terrifying suppressive force.

Lu Yan was trapped within; decayed death aura and twisted spatial turbulence swept towards him, as if to grind him into dust. The Corpse King's hollow eye sockets swelled with twisted vortices, and the oppressive force of death and space intertwined surged like tides, causing the entire ruins to tremble under its power.

However, at this very moment of life and death, a strange smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yan's mouth.

In an instant, three brilliant spiritual lights shone from the depths of the surrounding ghost mist, like sharp swords piercing the eternal night, tearing apart the shroud of death.

Three ghost gods descended from the sky, their figures faintly discernible, manipulating the massive ghost mist to converge and take form.

A thousand Yin Soldiers appeared from the void, weaving an arcane array under the night sky with their ghastly aura, a thousand Yin Soldiers as nodes, reigniting the Nine Nether Array in storm and fire.

The array combined with Yin wind and Nether fire swept across the heavens and earth, turning the entire ruined city into a furnace, intending to trap and kill the Space Corpse King within.

At this moment, the Space Corpse King finally sensed a deadly threat, hastily abandoning the idea of suppressing Lu Yan, as his body turned ethereal, about to vanish into space.

How could Lu Yan let him get his wish?

Using himself as bait to lay down the killing array was precisely to prevent the Space Corpse King from sensing the threat and escaping early.

If he couldn't trap him, even a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to stop the Space Corpse King's determined escape. This was Lu Yan's only chance.

"Suppress!"

With a harsh command, the Profound Vagina Door thundered open from the void, and the purple gate, having been restored to a height of two meters after half a day's rest, clashed fiercely with the Space Corpse King's power of space.

The ancient aura flowed from the deep portal, as if leading to the source of the world, turning all spatial rules into chaos at this moment.

Silver spatial fragments were suppressed and turned to nothingness one by one; within a radius of two hundred meters, spatial rules were forbidden, and the Corpse King's haughty pressure wavered for the first time.

The next second, Nether fire and Yin wind transformed into a towering flame tornado, engulfing the Corpse King.

The massive flame tornado tore through the Space Corpse King's extraordinary power, as the spatial imprints on his body surface continuously disintegrated within the array, like sharp blades slicing through the Corpse King's body. The withered shell crumbled inch by inch under the terrifying force.

With spatial rules suppressed and the physical body trapped within the array, the demise of the Space Corpse King was merely a matter of time.

In that chaotic array, over a thousand Soul Hooks penetrated the flame dragon tornado formed by Nether fire and Yin wind, embedding into the Space Corpse King's soul.

With the combined force of over a thousand Yin Soldiers, they forcibly stripped the strong Divine Soul of the Early Stage Golden Core from the body.

As the Space Corpse King's Divine Soul left the body, the decayed remains turned into ominous white bones, completely devoured by the Nether fire storm.

The Nine Nether Array dissipated slowly, while over a thousand Soul Hooks trapped the Space Corpse King's Divine Soul into a giant sphere.

Lu Yan stepped forward, raising the Soul Banner in his right hand.

No doubt, the Space Corpse King was the strongest opponent Lu Yan had ever encountered.

Even having fallen from the Apocalypse Version Nether Abyss Realm to the Early Stage of Golden Core, his domineering spatial ability still had the strength to crush those of the same rank. If not for Lu Yan having the Profound Vagina Door to suppress all laws and paths, he might not have been able to kill the Space Corpse King.

"Such a powerful Divine Soul, it should be refined as the main soul, helping my Soul Banner ascend to a magical treasure!"
