World Version Updates

Lu Yan's gaze sharpened, and then a hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"As expected!"

Including the Corpse King, the vast majority of zombies are somewhat brainy but not very much so. Under normal circumstances, they would absolutely not take action to set an ambush with human Transcendents.

Moreover, this time the Shadow Corpse King has brought along as many as seven Golden Core Corpse Kings.

You must know that because zombie gatherings attract more Moonlight Spiritual Qi, powerful Corpse Kings often occupy a region alone to continuously absorb Moonlight Spiritual Qi.

Under normal circumstances, in a large ruined city with a population of a million, it is hard to see even one Golden Core Corpse King. The same area can never host two Golden Core Corpse Kings; no Corpse King would be willing for a peer at the same level to share in the Moonlight Spiritual Qi.

Even if a Corpse King enters a city, it will consider the local Corpse King hostile, let alone joining forces.

Even if there appears a Shadow Corpse King who possesses high wisdom and can communicate normally with humans, it would be difficult to gather so many Corpse Kings together.

Such an abnormal situation only suggests external pressure influence.

And in the Apocalypse Version, aside from the pursuers who previously participated in the hunt for the True Technique combating Lu Yan, there is only one answer left.

"The one who orchestrated the Shadow Corpse King to unite various Golden Core Corpse Kings to ambush me is the unknown force behind the apocalypse invasion!"

"Only a being who guided the apocalypse invasion can interfere with these Corpse Kings, uniting them, who originally regarded each other as enemies.

As for the reason, it is naturally evident.

I peeled away the souls of tens of millions of zombies, reversing the originally chaotic apocalyptic situation. The mastermind behind this does not wish to see me continue slaughtering zombies and restoring order to the Apocalypse Version."

The ability to interfere with version invasions proves that the opponent is at least a sole peak master of a version's Celestial Dao. Great Sun Spiritual Qi and Moonlight Spiritual Qi must be the product of their handiwork.

In front of the unknown presence leading the apocalypse invasion, insignificant Lu Yan might not even count as an ant.

Yet faced with such an adversary's hostility, Lu Yan not only felt no fear but instead displayed a relaxed smile.

This act by the unknown presence has already proven that It has exhausted its means.

It's only been thirteen years since the Apocalypse Version was invaded. The Apocalypse Celestial Dao can barely maintain certain order, while the zombies created by the version invasion have reached only the early stage of the Golden Core.

Under these circumstances, mobilizing these Corpse Kings to join Transcendents in ambushing is almost the limit of what the unknown presence can achieve.

It can be said that this is the last resistance from the version invasion. After this, Lu Yan can sweep through the entire apocalypse invincibly, slaughtering zombies at will to accumulate his foundation.

"The only regret is that the time left in the Apocalypse Version is fast running out.

If there were enough time, it might be possible to completely eradicate the calamity of the version invasion."

Lu Yan shook his head somewhat regretfully.

Having gotten the answers he wanted, Lu Yan again looked toward the Shadow Corpse King, intending to inquire further details.

But just then, Lu Yan suddenly noticed the Shadow Corpse King's head hung low, immersed in deathly silence.

After thinking carefully, since saying that sentence, the Shadow Corpse King seems to have maintained this silent posture.

Furrowing his brow, Lu Yan, who had been tricked by the Long-life Version multiple times, instinctively sensed something amiss.

His eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance as Lu Yan realized a possibility.

"What the Shadow Corpse King said was indeed true.

But because it was too true, that sentence was entirely repeating the command from the unknown presence.

The unknown presence, being the sole ruler in this world, possesses such a weight in its words that it can use this sentence as a causal medium to descend with power!"

In an instant, the Eastern sun rose into the sky at a visible speed, while on the other side, the moon had yet to set, causing the phenomenon of sun and moon coexisting in this world.

At that moment, Lu Yan felt the concentration of Great Sun Spiritual Qi and Moonlight Spiritual Qi on this land increase by dozens of times.

"Kill him!"

The Soul Banner in Lu Yan's hand trembled as he gave the command, simultaneously retreating like a phantom.

At the moment the command was received, the space blockade spread under the hand of the Celestial Dao Goliath, sealing the entire area into Space Amber.

The five fingers closed; the Space Amber enveloping the Shadow Corpse King was instantly covered with cracks, each spatial fissure spreading like a web, flashing with a sharpness capable of tearing reality.

However, just as the void was about to collapse, the Shadow Corpse King, who had been keeping his head low, suddenly lifted it.

His once deathly pale face was now completely devoured by an indescribable shadow, turning into a void of abyss. Countless black tentacles extended from this void, forcibly freezing the surrounding shattered space.

"Netherworld?"

In the hollow sockets of his eyes, two scarlet lights emerged, countless twisted shadows surged in the void, as if they intended to swallow the entire world into eternal darkness.

Around Lu Yan, all light faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even if he withdrew, he couldn't escape this endless abyss of darkness.

A voice that seemed to come from the great wilderness era resounded between heaven and earth, and in an instant, the Moonlight Spiritual Qi and Great Sun Spiritual Qi boiled, the Spiritual Qi, which was the foundation of this world's transcendence, constantly intertwined, evolving into All Laws and Dao.

"I..."

At the instant the voice sounded, Lu Yan suddenly stopped retreating. He realized that blindly trying to escape would never allow him to flee from this dark abyss.

"You lingering ancient thing!"

Lu Yan cursed angrily.

The Soul Banner in his hand suddenly unfurled, and on the banner was a continent mostly shrouded in mist.

In an instant, a gigantic rift appeared above the sky, a magnificent illusion emerged between heaven and earth, like a vast continent falling towards the ground.

Lu Yan grasped the Soul Banner in his hand and instead of retreating, he advanced, striding towards the Shadow Corpse King.

With his hands tightly gripping the Soul Banner, his stance was like that of an ancient deity wielding a divine axe, breaking open a gigantic rift in the void, and the gloom of the underworld enveloped the land from all directions.

"You bunch of old things always thinking about barging into other people's domain, get out of this version for me!"

The Soul Banner in Lu Yan's hand suddenly slashed downward, the illusion of the Soul Continent accompanied by the power of splitting heaven and earth, crashed towards the ground.

The space around the Shadow Corpse King shattered inch by inch under this power, revealing deep darkness, and on that void face, it seemed as if there were thousands of beings chanting, the supreme will gathered the Wish Power of all beings to resist the fall of the Soul Continent.

Even Lu Yan's strongest trump card, the Soul Continent taken from the Intelligent God, couldn't expel the Shadow Corpse King, this already transcended the limits of the Golden Core Stage.

"You..."

The great voice sounded again, but was once more interrupted by Lu Yan.

"Originally, this move wasn't for you, but since you insist on sneaking in, then leave something behind!"

As his words fell, a flame suddenly rose from Lu Yan's body, the Profound Yellow Merit Fire burned fiercely around him.

The supreme will glanced indifferently at the burning Merit Fire, unmoved.

The next second, a Merit Golden Wheel, like a great sun, rose from behind Lu Yan.

One wheel, two wheels, three wheels... ten wheels, twenty wheels, thirty wheels...

Behind Lu Yan, a total of ninety-nine Merit Golden Wheels manifested, the golden radiance illuminating Lu Yan as if he were a deity of all heavens and Buddhas!

If these ninety-nine Merit Golden Wheels were of human merit, coming from saving sentient beings, even another ninety-nine supreme wills would not be afraid.

The only Position in this world, how could it be shaken by mere human merit?

But the problem is, these ninety-nine Merit Golden Wheels are not of human merit, but come from the merit of the Celestial Dao!

The manifestation of such a vast amount of Celestial Dao merit would definitely draw the gaze of the misaligned Apocalypse Celestial Dao to this place.

The next moment, as if some great existence cast its gaze upon this place.

The sun and moon faded, all Dao returned to their place, the supreme will couldn't even remove this will from this realm before being completely suppressed by the Apocalypse Celestial Dao.

The resistance of the Soul Banner vanished in an instant, and the next second, the law-grade Soul Banner, carrying the might of the Soul Continent, heavily struck the Shadow Corpse King.

The remaining Divine Soul of the Shadow Corpse King dissipated in an instant, and deep within the Shadow Corpse King's Divine Soul, a wisp of supreme will that crossed over from another version was also exposed before the Soul Banner.

Under normal circumstances, even if the entire Soul Continent pressed down, it couldn't shake this wisp of supreme will.

But this wisp of supreme will came from crossing versions, and all laws and ways of the world were suppressed by the Celestial Dao, even with extraordinary essence, it couldn't remain.

As the Soul Banner fell, the supreme will from another version was crushed, leaving bits of Spiritual Light to merge into the Soul Banner.
