Chapter 1824: Zombie and Zombie

When the Master of Darkness appeared, it immediately subdued the dark spirits burrowing out beneath Mount Tai. The mountain separated yin from yang, which was also how the land of darkness and light was demarcated. Thus, where Mount Tai stood was the intersection of yin and yang.

With the tide of dark spirits in full retreat, Leize, Fuxi, and the others were able to free themselves and rush the god of Mount Tai.

He was entirely unafraid and picked up the mountain, throwing it into the crowd of charging powerhouses. Even though it was only a fragment of the original landmark, it was weight beyond what living beings could endure. Leize, Fuxi, Pangu, God, and Hongjun spat blood as they soared backward.

They were heavily injured to begin with, so there was nothing they could do against the mountain. The only ones who could stop the mountain god now were the four spacetime travelers.

“If you continue to stay put on the sidelines, old zombie, that kid will complete the manifestation of the origin hell. You won’t be getting the world of sequence then!” the mountain god squawked with urgency.

Everyone else was easy to handle—many of them had been caught in his traps. Although Yin Jiuying had forced him out in the end, that was just a small hiccup. He remained firmly in control of the greater picture.

Only the spacetime travelers were outside his sway.

When Moran Dongning traveled through time and delivered the Imperial Seal to the start of the Land of Reincarnation, he’d wanted to keep her there. But the spacetime travelers were so uncanny that not even the god of Mount Tai could dictate her actions.

He had to settle for negotiating with her and making her the Time Guard of the land. Perhaps the karmic repercussions of the Land of Reincarnation could contain her. Unfortunately, she still managed to struggle free and was now here with the other three spacetime travelers.

Most terrifying of all was the bizarre mask on her face. The legendary Master of Darkness?! Its presence immediately negated more than half of his plans. If the spacetime travelers came for him now, he’d never hold them off. His dao partner was also immobilized by the battle flag in Tianqi’s hands.

“Old zombie? Is Jiang Chen here too?!” Chen Xiao started and quickly disengaged, looking in Lu Yun’s direction.

Indeed, an enormous zombie suddenly appeared over the young man’s head and extended a mouth dripping with corpsewater. It bit down on Lu Yun.

“No!” Qing Buyi roared and crossed his hands in front of his chest, taking the full force of the mountain god’s blow. He trembled as he prepared to spring toward the zombie.

“Don’t, it’s a trap!” Lu Yun suddenly said. “This isn’t Jiang Chen, it’s just a massive zombie.”

He opened his eyes and sent out a zombie of his own with a wave of his hand, flinging it at his attacker. His zombie was the one that the Corpse Refiners had sent into the land—the twentieth level sequence one. Despite refining it anew, Lu Yun hadn’t had a chance to use it against the corpse demon when they were in the cavern beneath Mount Buzhou.

With the arrival of an old zombie on par with a supreme, it was the perfect opportunity to send it into the battlefield. The old zombie was a supreme-level zombie from the Corpse Refiners. A supreme didn’t mean much on this battlefield; while Hongjun and the resurrected Leize were heavily injured, they could still easily kill a few supremes.

But a supreme-level opponent suddenly appearing at this critical juncture to attack Lu Yun could very well mean the end of everything.

“You don’t need to do anything either, Senior Azure Dragon King. I can handle this,” Lu Yun murmured as he sensed something.

The hidden Azure Dragon King halted in his tracks and concealed himself anew in the void. Within the dragons, the second strongest was Azure Dragon King Ao Chong. He was beyond a supreme and far superior to the Golden Dragon King.

If it wasn’t for that, the golden dragons would’ve long defeated the azure dragons. They had their nine clawed golden dragon while the azure dragons lacked their ancestral god. Thus, they could easily seize legitimacy over the dragon race.

Cosmic radiance blossomed from the twentieth-level sequence zombie when it appeared. The illumination condensed into strands of silver thread that pierced the old zombie through.

The supreme-level zombie stopped moving. A beat later, Lu Yun’s zombie began to crumble, as did its opponent!

Both zombies crumbled away into tiny pieces. The pieces then disintegrated once more into powder.

And then, both of them disappeared upon the wind.

Grappling with Tianqi, the corpse god shuddered. Lu Yun had planned to use that zombie on her when she was immobilized by the chain! While it wouldn’t kill her, it would cause untold injuries. That zombie seemed to be a counter to everything that was zombified, including the corpse god!

“Stay focused when you fight me,” Tianqi said coolly. He sent out another batch of battle spirits with a snap of his battle flag. They pulled at her body, wanting to haul the corpse god into the flag and seal her away.

Hongjun had created this flag for the corpse god.

Whoosh!

A familiar crimson chain rushed out of the corpse god’s body and churned the battle spirits to pieces. She took advantage of the breathing space to break free and stand behind the god of Mount Tai.

Tianqi wasn’t that strong at twenty levels of immortal dao sequence, but the battle flag bolstered him with one hundred million battle souls. At the very least, it enhanced his strength to the point of suppressing the corpse god.

The mountain god tilted his head and swept a glance at the corpse god. He didn’t say anything.

The battle raged on. Four spacetime travelers attacked the mountain god, reaching a balance that didn’t change even with the corpse god’s sudden addition.

Thud!

A grayish-yellow cloth bag appeared in midair with a dull thud. Zombies summarily dropped down from overhead, each of them the equivalent of a supreme. They were no different from the one that Lu Yun had just destroyed, but he didn’t have a second zombie to send out.

Jiang Chen had reached an agreement with the god of Mount Tai over the past twenty thousand years to temporarily put aside their grudges. He would help the mountain god obtain hell dao, whereupon the god would gift him the world of sequence.

To Jiang Chen, establishing a world of corpse dao sequence was most important. Though he’d dithered on his course of action before, his mind was made up when Lu Yun sent Jiang Kui away with a casual scheme. However, he didn’t show himself. Instead, he sent over his personal treasure and poured out a waterfall of supreme-level zombies.

“That damned bastard!” Yin Jiuying cursed and charged the zombies. They didn’t compare to the earlier dark spirits, but they were under Jiang Chen’s control and he could assemble them into a Formation of Corpse Refinement.

Everyone else on the scene wouldn’t fear it, but Lu Yun might.
