The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Next, with the little black cat as a compass, Wu You successively killed several lone eighth-tier corpses and some seventh-tier corpses that appeared in twos and threes.

The first giant worm lurking deep in the swamp was pierced through the head by his sword, struggled twice, and then turned into black smoke.

The second one was a two-headed serpentine corpse wandering among the strange rocks, its aura stronger than the first one, but Wu You only needed three sword strikes to cut it into several pieces.

The third one, the fourth one...

He didn't have to put in too much effort with the first few; the Star Pivot Seven Luminaries Sword at its perfect level was enough for him to easily deal with these ordinary eighth-tier corpses.

Each kill grants between 8,000 and 15,000 experience points.

The little black cat lay in his pocket, its ears twitching incessantly, precisely pointing him to the location of each prey.

This was the eighth tier-eight corpse he had encountered.

This is a huge rhinoceros-like creature, covered in jet-black scales, with a single spiral horn on its head.

Its aura was stronger than the others, and Wu You could sense that it might not be an ordinary beast corpse.

This rhinoceros-shaped beast corpse, parasitized by the lustful corpse, may have been royalty in life!

It stood in the middle of a black swamp, its four hooves stuck in the mud. There were no other corpses around, clearly indicating that it was the overlord of this area.

Wu You hovered about fifty meters above it, not in a hurry to make a move.

He first confirmed that there were no other zombies lurking around, then patted the little black cat's head with his left hand in his pocket, indicating that it no longer needed to give directions.

His right hand was loosely clenched, and the jet-black longsword materialized once more.

then.

The Heavenly Pivot Binding Star Sword struck first.

Several silver-white chains emerged from the void, slithering like serpents, coiling around the rhinoceros-shaped corpse from all directions.

Sensing danger, the corpse suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar, stomping its hooves on the mud in an attempt to break free.

But the chains had already firmly bound its limbs and torso, fixing it in place.

Although the binding power of the Star-Binding Sword could not trap it for long, the stiffness that lasted for more than ten seconds was enough.

Wu You narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Tianquan Wenqu Sword was activated.

Instead of examining the surface of the corpse seed, he used the effect of the Tianquan Wenqu Sword to sense the energy flow within it and search for the hiding place of the Lustful Corpse Seed's true form.

The lustful corpse was well hidden, lurking in the heart of the rhinoceros-shaped body, shrouded in layers of black mist.

However, the Wenqu Sword's insightful power still managed to detect its traces.

It was a thicker and more active mass of black mist than the surrounding area.

The effects of the Jade Balance Sword were applied to the blade of the longsword, adding a faint golden halo to the silver-white sword light.

The Yao Guang Dong Ming Sword was then superimposed, and a dazzling starlight shone on the tip of the sword.

Finally, the ultimate finishing move: the Heavenly Pivot Breaking Army Sword!

Wu You gripped his longsword tightly, his swordplay upright and imposing, and thrust it straight out.

All the superimposed effects merged into one at this moment, transforming into a pure, silvery-white starlight sword light that shot out.

The starlight sword light silently pierced the dark red sky.

The rhinoceros-like corpse was still struggling, a ball of black energy condensing on its giant horn as it tried to fight back.

But the sword light, though arriving later, was destined to reach its destination first.

No matter how the lustful corpse tries to dodge, this sword strike is bound to hit.

Wu You had already foreseen its fate.

next moment.

The starlight pierced through its scales, its muscles, and its layers of black mist defense, precisely striking the black aura in the center of its chest.

The shrill scream of the Lustful Corpse Species emanated from its body; the sound was piercingly sharp.

Then, the rhinoceros-shaped corpse's body suddenly froze, and the black energy ball on its giant horn went out of control and exploded, blasting a huge crater into the surrounding mud for tens of meters.

The starlight sword light had penetrated deep into its core, and a powerful force exploded within its body, destroying the main body of the Lustful Corpse Species along with the shell of the myriad beasts.

The enormous body of the rhinoceros-like corpse crashed down, splashing up large amounts of black mud in the swamp.

Then, it began to disintegrate, starting from the head, turning into wisps of black smoke and dust, which were blown away by the wind.

This time the smoke and dust was thicker than before, and it lasted longer.

Experience points +15000.

Wu You frowned slightly.

Fifteen thousand is the experience value of an ordinary eighth-tier corpse species.

It seems that although this body was most likely a royal beast corpse in life, the lustful corpse parasitizing its body is just an ordinary eighth-tier creature.

At that moment, Wu You's watch vibrated, adding another kill to his kill record.

Wu You sheathed his longsword, which then transformed into starlight and vanished in his hand.

Having now killed so many Lustful Corpse Species, Wu You has gained a deeper understanding of this corpse race.

Although they possess the extremely abnormal ability of parasitic manipulation, their actual combat strength is ridiculously low.

Therefore, they generally do not detach from the body they inhabit; once they do, they basically have to escape.

Of course, this excludes cases where a high-level abomination parasitizes a low-level body, pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Strangely, Wu You had never encountered this situation in the deep dark domain, but he had encountered it before in Lanhe City in the real world.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he glanced down at the little black cat in his pocket. The kitten was staring at the dissipating behemoth with its deep blue eyes, its ears perked up and its tail swaying gently.

"Well done," Wu You said softly, patting its head.

The kitten tilted its head back, meowed, and then pulled its head back in, leaving only its two ears sticking out and twitching.

Wu You glanced at his watch. It was past 11 p.m., and he had been wandering in the Class A danger zone for more than three hours.

Opening the Sword Manual panel, the section for allocating experience points displays: 32.5.

Wu You avoided hordes of zombies along the way, killing eight tier-eight zombies and taking down over twenty tier-seven zombies along the way, gaining over 300,000 experience points in just over three hours.

To be honest, this efficiency is already quite good, but Wu You is still not satisfied.

Because almost half of those three hours were spent traveling and avoiding areas where the zombies congregated.

Although there are many high-level zombie species in the A-level danger zone, their distribution is very uneven, and groups of eighth-level zombie species often appear.

He's all alone, and if he gets surrounded, even if he can fight, it will take a lot of time and energy, which is a huge waste of time.

Therefore, he usually only targets lone individuals, shooting and then moving on to a new location.

He silently pondered: In the past, he couldn't find any zombie species to kill, but now a large number of zombie species are right in front of him. If he is strong enough now, he can fly and kill his way through without having to hide or go around. In three hours, he can gain at least nearly a million experience points in this area where zombie species are densely packed!

Unfortunately, that's not possible right now. The zombies in the A-level danger zone are too strong and too diverse, and they come in large groups. He can't just sweep through them without any scruples.

Then, Wu You's thoughts shifted.

If we can't keep pushing forward with high-level corpses, what about mid- and low-level corpses?

Wu You could kill third and fourth-tier corpses with a single sword strike; the same went for fifth and sixth-tier corpses.

Killing low-level zombies is much more efficient than killing high-level zombies!

Unless it's a special being like the Thousand-Faced God Descendant that provides millions of experience points, it's more cost-effective to go for quantity than quality!

It's not that high-level zombies can't be killed, but rather that mid- to low-level zombies are more cost-effective.

Moreover, compared to the A-level danger zone where seventh and eighth-tier zombies roam, the B-level and C-level danger zones are obviously much safer, with basically nothing to worry about. Furthermore, third and fourth-tier zombies and fifth and sixth-tier zombies can be dealt with in one sword strike. Overall, the B-level danger zone is the most cost-effective area.

Having thought of this, Wu You already knew what to do. Without any hesitation, he opened the map on his watch.

Effort is necessary, but it's crucial to make the right choices. After all, the right choices are often more important than hard work.

He carefully studied the distribution of color blocks on the map.

To the northeast of this Class A area lies a Class B danger zone.

It borders the A-level area where Wu You is currently located, so there's no need to take a detour; you can get there directly by passing through.

Wu You put away the map, quickened his pace, and, guided by the little black cat, passed through the A-level area he had just been in and entered another B-level danger zone.

Upon entering the Class B area, the fog thinned considerably, and visibility increased from less than 20 meters to nearly 100 meters.

The white light from the resonator can shine farther, greatly expanding the field of view.

More importantly, when Wu You looked from the air, he saw that groups of mixed corpses of the fourth and fifth ranks and the fifth and sixth ranks were scattered in various places.

Without any hesitation, he grasped the sword with his right hand, and the black longsword materialized once more.

For a period of time afterward, Wu You's sword never stopped.

The silvery-white sword light flashed again and again against the dark red sky, like a never-ending harvester.

With a single sweep of the sword, three or five fourth- or fifth-tier corpses instantly turned into black smoke; with a single thrust, a sixth-tier corpse fell to the ground; in the blink of an eye, seven or eight corpses had no time to react.

Meanwhile, the experience points on the panel were jumping wildly, from over 300,000 to over 400,000, from over 400,000 to over 500,000, from over 500,000 to over 600,000...

Experience points +500, +1000, +2000, +1000...

These numbers cascaded down like a waterfall, giving Wu You a sense of relief.

This is the right way to source goods.

Wu You sighed inwardly.

As he sighed, his speed increased, and the sword light in his hand became denser. He was like a black ghost, moving through the fog of the B-level danger zone, annihilating all the corpses in his path.

The number of experience points that can be allocated has soared from over 300,000 to over 700,000, 800,000, and 900,000.

Just as Wu You was about to finish clearing this Class B area.

Suddenly, he stopped.

A cold, heavy, yet clearly chaotic aura emanated from the edge of the B-level danger zone.

He hovered in mid-air, turned his head, and looked in the direction from which the aura came.

That's where this Class B danger zone borders another Class A danger zone.

Wu You's brows furrowed sharply.

Although the aura was chaotic, its essence was extremely high. It was like a wounded beast that, despite its poor condition, still exuded a chilling pressure.

Moreover, Wu You was no stranger to this oppressive aura.

Ninth level.

The Realm of Illusions.
