Episode 34: The White-Haired Corpse King

  The scene in front of them changed again, Xiao Yunfei and Dan Chenzi's bodies shone with a brilliant light that rotated around them, protecting their surroundings. No matter how the countless illusions in front of them transformed, they were not affected in the slightest. The Nine Underworlds' Yin Corpse Array had evolved to this point, its power increasing by another level, unlike before. This time, the emerging force might truly threaten their lives!

  When they stabilized again, they found themselves on a small hilltop. Looking around, the endless and terrifying graveyard had disappeared, along with the eerie howls of ghosts and monsters. Instead, there was a beautiful landscape of mountains and water, refreshing their ears and eyes.

  The gentle mountain breeze blew slowly, and the two were like being in a painting, as if all the previous killings had never happened, only what was in front of them was the most real.

  "Something doesn't feel right?" Dan Chenzi said with some concern; "I sense that there is a powerful force lurking around us, posing a great threat to us."

  Xiao Yunfei remained silent, his gaze stretching far out and looking down at the mountain below. As far as the eye could see, it was a desolate and barren mountain village.

  This mountain is not high and grand, the top of the mountain is not far from the foot of the mountain, you can see everything below the mountain clearly, including stone paths, flowing streams, and villages scattered like ruins. The mountains rise and fall, sometimes flat and broad, with bare areas revealing an eerie atmosphere.

  "Danchenzi, brother, the Nine Underworlds' Corpse Array is advancing again, and even I don't have a way to retreat completely. At this point, all we can do is go all out." Xiaoyunfei looked at him for a while, his face tense and then relaxed, eventually disappearing into an endless calmness.

  Tan Chenzi gazed at him, wanting to find a hint of change in Xiao Yunfei's expression, but unfortunately, he was disappointed. The more calm Xiao Yunfei was, the more it proved that the two were about to face even more unimaginable strangeness and danger than before!

  "Life is but a fleeting moment, and death is inevitable. I will die for the righteous path, what regret can I have?" Dan Chenzi hesitated for a moment before his expression gradually calmed down, and he spoke calmly.

  "Let's go." Xiao Yunfei didn't say anything else, and took the lead in big strides, leading Dan Chenzi down the mountain.

  You may be wondering, aren't Xiaoyunfei and Danchenzi able to fly? Why do they still need to walk? This is because this place is someone else's formation space, where everything can be controlled by the opponent. What difference does it make if they fly into the air like living targets? Moreover, their goal isn't just to save their lives; they want to break through the grand formation, and the key lies in the evolution of all things on the ground - this is the Nine Nether Path!

  The mountain ranges stretch and curve, with lush greenery surging like waves.

  They came to a rugged mountain waist, with rocks scattered all over. They were getting closer to the foot of the mountain, but the nearby grass was lush and covered their knees, leaving only a narrow path in the middle to walk on. Stretching into the distance, the four wilds were unknown deep. They crossed a small river, traversed the sandy land, and finally arrived at the village below.

  This village seems to have been inhabited by people in the past, but now it is desolate and uninhabited, with weeds and creepers crawling all over, broken thatched cottages silently telling the story of its former prosperity and current decline and desolation. On the ground, a faint green smoke floats and rises, exuding an inexplicable eerie atmosphere.

  "Brother Danchenzi, you're about to die, do you have any last words?" Standing at the village entrance, Xiao Yunfei was silent for a moment before suddenly squeezing out these words.

  Tan Chenzi looked at Xiao Yunfei in surprise, and sighed: "You're so sure we'll die, but maybe we can break through safely, who knows."

  Xiao Yunfei heard this, slightly stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing loudly and said: "That's right, isn't it just breaking the formation? We'll break it and that's all."

  Although that's what they said, both of them understood in their hearts that the Nine Underworlds' Yin Corpse Grand Array was getting more and more dangerous as it went on, relying on the Great Calamity's land to condense the array disk. Earlier it had already been extremely difficult; going further would be even more unimaginably terrifying!

  *sigh*...

  The two exchanged a glance, and in the midst of it, the heavens seemed to let out a sigh, but could not stop the evolution of the great array, nor could they stop the footsteps of the two.

  One in front of the other, the two people stepped into the village one after another. As far as the eye could see, there was not a single speck of life, except for the endless eerie atmosphere that filled everything.

  The village was indeed deserted, with no signs of human habitation for thousands or even hundreds of years. Yet, it still retained its original state, with thatched houses supported by tree branches, in a state of disrepair and emitting an eerie, cold atmosphere. The clear blue sky and white clouds from earlier had suddenly vanished, replaced by a dark and foreboding energy that permeated every corner of the village. It was as if nature itself had ordained it so, with not a single ray of sunlight able to penetrate through.

  Xiao Yunfei's strength was astonishing, and in an instant, he couldn't help but tremble slightly. Deep down, a sense of foreboding surged up uncontrollably. In the center of the village was a vast empty space that could easily accommodate thousands of people. This should have been where the villagers threshed their rice, originally flat and even, but now it was covered in weeds and vines, a lush green expanse.

  The blue mysterious yin energy is still rising from the ground, the sky above, the blue sky and white clouds are rapidly shrinking, replaced by endless dark clouds rolling, covering the sun, the black clouds are getting denser, the sky seems to be getting closer to the ground. In an instant, it has become a stormy weather, accompanied by the rolling of dark clouds, a loud and shrill howl is heard from all directions, continuous and unending, for a moment, it seems like a mountain rain is coming and the wind is filling the building.

  The sky and earth were pitch black, without a single trace of human vitality. The dark and gloomy energy spread everywhere, eerie and strange howls filled the air, shrouding the entire world in an aura of mystery.

  "Roar!"

  In the darkness, a roar, in that unreachable distant place, a blood-colored light suddenly appeared. At first, it was extremely small, but after several breaths of time, this blood color actually began to rapidly expand. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed from afar into an endless bloody wave, surging and roaring, filling the entire village.

  Eerie blood light, covering the sky and earth!

  Xiao Yunfei instinctively felt that a strong and violent aura was being emitted, as if some kind of terrifying energy was surging and churning around him, suppressing the vitality of all living things. It was as if the eternal energy of legend had suddenly burst forth, unleashing a powerful force capable of destroying heaven and earth. This momentum was unstoppable, and even immortals would be powerless before it.

  "Ahh!"

  Dark clouds pressed down, almost within reach, a gust of cold wind swept over, as if the snow of three winters, chilling to the bone. Nevertheless, even this howling gale could not conceal the mournful wail that seemed to come from the depths of hell.

  A bloody glow spread out, and one by one, terrifying zombies with a faint white light all over their bodies appeared in succession. Unlike before, they seemed even more powerful and ferocious!
