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

"they?"

Wu You frowned.

The giant tiger's breath was extremely weak, and each breath sounded hoarse, like a bellows leaking air.

Its voice echoed intermittently in Wu You's mind, like a string about to snap: "The tenth-tier expert of the Lustful Corpse Clan... is right behind us."

"My innate ability allows me to completely conceal my presence and aura, which is the main reason I was able to escape."

"But now... I am no longer able to maintain my abilities, and my current location... has probably already been discovered by it."

Wu You agreed with this statement.

After all, he had sensed the opponent's chaotic and massive aura from just a few hundred meters away, and with the tracking ability of a tenth-tier Lustful Corpse Species, it was only a matter of time before they found this place.

"Although it's not exactly close, at its speed, it should catch up to us in about three minutes."

The giant tiger's voice carried a calm composure, as if stating an unchangeable fact: "So, our time... is running out."

As it spoke, pale golden blood dripped continuously from the wounds all over the giant tiger's body.

The blood fell to the ground with a soft hissing sound, forming a small puddle on the black sand. The surface of the puddle shimmered with a faint golden luster, like a broken mirror.

Wu You looked at the halo floating in front of him, and the faint, transparent divinity within it.

He looked down again at the little black cat in his pocket.

The little one was looking up at him, his deep blue eyes filled with no urging, no fear, only a quiet, trusting light.

Finally, he nodded, responding in his mind, "Yes, but I can only do my best."

"If anything happens, my safety will be my top priority."

Wu You still agreed to the giant tiger's request.

Divinity is indeed very useful to him now, as it can not only restore his lifespan but also enhance his physical condition.

If we miss it this time, we don't know when we'll encounter it again.

Although he could choose to try to seize it by force, after all, the giant tiger in front of him was already in a dying stage, and he had the Pivot Tribulation Sword Intent as his trump card. If they really fought, he might be able to kill this giant tiger in the True Yang Realm.

But Wu You also understood a principle: a cornered beast fights with its back against the wall.

He wasn't sure if the other party had any trump cards up their sleeve. If they really had some True Yang Realm techniques up their sleeve, then the situation would be dire.

After all, he had personally experienced the world-destroying power possessed by those in the True Yang Realm.

Moreover, he didn't want to waste the protective mark given to him by the Fifth Lord here.

Given that the little black cat in his pocket had just helped him, he didn't want things to come to that point, both emotionally and logically.

For various reasons, Wu You finally agreed to the deal.

"That's enough."

The giant tiger's voice carried a hint of relaxation.

A halo of divine light slowly floated up in mid-air in front of Wu You.

Then the halo dissipated, like a flower slowly withering, its petals peeling off one by one, turning into tiny golden specks of light that vanished in the dark red wind.

Only that wisp of transparent, almost invisible divinity remained, quietly suspended there.

Wu You stretched out his finger, and the moment it touched that wisp of divinity, it abruptly disappeared.

It was as if it had been sucked in by something, silently and without a trace.

On Wu You's Sword Manual panel, the Divinity section shifted slightly.

Divinity: 0 → Divinity: 0.5

At the same time, a loud bang resounded. The giant tiger, its halo dissipated, could no longer maintain its stance; its massive, mountain-like body lurched to the side and crashed heavily to the ground.

The ground trembled violently, and black sand was thrown into the air.

The giant tiger's limbs twitched a few times, then lay limply open.

"My time is running out..." The giant tiger's voice grew even weaker, almost inaudible. "Can I ask you for one last favor?"

"Any more demands?" Upon hearing this, Wu You frowned deeply: "Is this a last-minute price increase?"

His fingers tightened slightly, and the black light on the starlight sword intensified.

The giant tiger lying on the ground seemed to sense Wu You's worry, and a weak male voice echoed in his mind again: "It's nothing difficult. You just need to... move your hands a little."

At this point, the giant tiger paused, as if gathering its last bit of strength.

After a moment, it continued, "Please..."

"Kill me."

Wu You was taken aback. What kind of request was this? How could a zombie species be so willing and selfless as to contribute its experience points?

The giant tiger seemed to notice Wu You's stunned expression and continued, "Don't be surprised. In our race of beasts, suicide... is something only cowards do."

"Now, my life force is almost completely exhausted, I can only barely survive, and there is no possibility of me surviving any longer."

"If I die, I will naturally vanish from this world..."

"But what if I were..."

Wu You knew what it meant. If it were caught by the Lustful Corpse Species, what awaited it would be a thousand times more painful than death.

It will be endlessly tormented, its soul gradually devoured, its body transformed inch by inch, and it will eventually become a mere shell of the True Yang Realm, to be driven by the Desire Corpse Species.

That is an abyss deeper than death.

"Let's...do it."

The giant tiger's voice grew increasingly broken and severe, like a machine about to run out of power, each word trembling.

Wu You looked at the giant tiger lying on the ground, barely alive, but did not make a move immediately.

He asked one last question: "What exactly has happened in the Corpse Realm now?"

Upon hearing this, something seemed to flash in the giant tiger's eyes.

"Lust...and sinful dragons..."

"betray……"

"us……"

"...God...break..."

"fall from the sky……"

It didn't finish its sentence; each sentence consisted of only a few words, spoken intermittently.

Do "lustful demons" and "sinful dragons" refer to the two deities, the God of Lustful Demons and the God of Sinful Dragons, or to these two undead races?

What does betrayal mean? Who betrayed whom?

What does "divine judgment" mean?

Does "fallen" refer to the fall of their deity—the god of all beasts?

Wu Yougang was about to ask more questions, but he first glanced at his watch: more than a minute had passed since he encountered the giant tiger.

He frowned; he couldn't waste any more time.

If we really encounter a tenth-tier Lustful Corpse Species, then it will be truly dangerous.

He was more concerned about his current safety than about any potentially useful information.

Without further hesitation.

Wu You covered the eyes of the little black cat in his pocket with one hand.

The little one's body trembled slightly, but it was very well-behaved, neither struggling nor crying out.

At the same time, he did not approach the giant tiger, but maintained a safe distance.

Then he hurled the black longsword in his right hand toward the tiger's brow.

The longsword drew a graceful arc in the air.

Upon seeing the flying sword, the giant tiger made no other move.

It just took a deep, deep look at the little guy in Wu You's trench coat pocket, and then slowly closed its two remaining eyes.

The next moment, the jet-black longsword pierced the giant tiger's brow.

Compared to the tiger's mountain-like size, Wu You's thrown sword was like a toothpick, gently embedding itself between the tiger's eyebrows.

But soon, the effects of the Jade Balance Lianzhen Sword and the Heavenly Pivot Po Jun Sword attached to the longsword came into play. A silvery-white power spread out from the tip of the sword, spreading like ripples into the giant tiger's body. Wherever it passed, life was completely severed.

The giant tiger's aura completely dissipated.

Its massive, mountain-like body began to disintegrate, starting with its fur, transforming into countless tiny, shimmering golden specks of light, like a reversed galaxy rising from the ground and drifting into the dark red sky.

Although the power attached to Wu You's sword was not much, the giant tiger was indeed at its last gasp, and it was just barely holding on.

Wu You's sword strike was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Next, a prompt appeared on the Sword Manual panel.

Experience points +100000!

Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Hidden Realm +260%!

The moment the prompt appeared on the panel, Wu You didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took off in the direction he had come from at top speed, his long white hair flowing behind him, and his black trench coat fluttering in the airflow generated by his high-speed movement.
