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

Yunshang Province, the deepest dark domain, beyond the stronghold.

Old Wei looked at the silver-white figure beside him whose gaze was fixed on the depths of the dark fog ahead. He didn't ask any more questions, but simply withdrew his gaze, took two steps back, and stood in front of the only teleportation portal that was still open. He leaned against the door frame and let his hands hang naturally at his sides.

At this moment, the dark fog in front of the stronghold continued to churn and thicken, but Wu You remained looking in that direction, without looking away.

After a moment, he looked away and nodded to Old Wei behind him: "Old Wei, I'm off."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to travel that distance and reach Old Wei's ears.

Old Wei didn't move, his tone as calm as before: "Safety first!"

Wu You didn't say anything more. With a leap, he transformed into a silver-white streak of light, leaving a straight trail in the dark mist before stopping in mid-air. The light around him stood out clearly against the gray background.

Meanwhile, above the city wall inside the stronghold, the sound in Zhu Yuanzhi's earpiece stopped at some point.

The ninth-tier torchbearers who had been chatting amongst themselves inside the stronghold suddenly fell silent, their gazes all fixed in the same direction.

Looking at that figure standing in the sky, shining with silvery light.

The same question arose in their minds: "What is he going to do?"

But they soon had their answer.

The silver-white figure in mid-air slightly raised its right hand towards the sky.

next moment.

Boom—!

The dark fog in the area seemed to be compressed outwards, and the thick fog spread outwards at a visible speed.

It wasn't blown apart by the wind, but rather it was forced open from the inside by something.

The dark fog churned and was forcibly pushed aside by some unseen force, escaping in all directions.

In the center of that area, a circular space several kilometers in diameter was cleared out, forming a clean, fog-free vacuum zone.

Then, a colossal silver giant, over a thousand meters tall, with its right hand raised to the sky, appeared in their field of vision from below!

As Wu You cleared away a large area of ​​dark mist when he entered the illusory form, Elder Wei at the entrance of the stronghold and the ninth-tier torchbearers inside the stronghold were able to see clearly:

In the thick fog in front of the enormous silver-white giant, several huge, ferocious figures, some standing upright and others crawling on the ground, were gradually revealing their outlines at the edge of the dark fog, as if they were being peeled away layer by layer from the fog.

Moreover, as they approached the stronghold, more and more enormous corpses emerged from the thick fog!

At the same time, as they approached, the stronghold could also feel the earth-shaking tremors coming from afar!

At this moment, all the torchbearers in the stronghold who had reached the eighth rank and possessed the ability to step into the air also stepped into the air and arrived at the top of the city wall, looking towards the direction outside the stronghold.

This naturally includes Hu Lie.

Hu Lie, of course, spotted the silver-white figure at a glance: "This illusory form..."

"That is..."

"Xiaoyou...?"

But upon seeing the enormous, mountain-like corpses in front of the silver-white giant, each more grotesque than the last, his pupils constricted sharply: "Why is Xiaoyou all alone outside? What happened?!"

His voice wasn't loud, but the emotions in his words were already overwhelming.

. . .

Old Wei didn't move beside the portal.

His gaze passed over Wu You's illusory form and landed on the humanoid figures standing atop the enormous corpses in the distance. His expression remained unchanged, but his brows furrowed slightly.

That's the really tricky part!

As for the giant corpses ahead, he didn't even glance at them.

. . .

At the same time, the humanoid figures standing on the ninth-tier corpse species also saw the silver-white giant in front of them.

At this moment, the one-horned figure at the front seemed to sense something and suddenly stood up.

It neither ordered to advance nor retreat, but simply maintained its standing posture, as if it had been nailed to the spot by something.

The sticky liquid that had been flowing steadily in its dark eye sockets accelerated for a moment.

"How is this possible...!"

Its sound was faint, almost as if it were mute.

"How could a mere human being possibly possess divinity?!"

The other humanoid zombies also sensed that special aura at almost the same time.

The moment they sensed that aura, they all stood up abruptly, staring intently at the silver-white giant in front of them with sticky, disgusting eyes:

"This fluctuation!"

"It's divinity!"

"True divinity!"

"Divinity has appeared in a human being!"

The voices almost overlapped, like fuses being lit at the same time.

"Hahahaha, thanks to that old geezer, the God of Lust, for his blessing! Today I finally have a chance to glimpse the path to godhood!"

"Divinity, it's actually divinity! It's... come to me without any effort!"

"Ascension to godhood! Ascension to godhood! To refuse a divine gift is to suffer the consequences! Today is the day my path to godhood begins!"

"We must capture that human and extract the divinity from his soul using the Soul-Refining Fire!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely! After all, that is our divinity!"

Their words became more numerous and faster, like a group of hunters who had spotted their prey approaching and were each planning their next move.

The one-horned humanoid corpse frowned upon seeing this, but it did not speak up to stop it. After all, that was divinity, the key to ascending to godhood, and a necessary item to reach the highest realm!

Even it, I was captivated by!

However, there is only one silver giant, and the total amount of divinity is also limited. How should it be divided?

Divinity, such a rare and precious thing, is something it doesn't want to share with other members of its kind!

As it stared at the silvery-white figure ahead, the viscous liquid deep within its pupils churned faster than it had involuntarily, yet its expression remained unchanged.

It slightly raised its hand, signaling the corpses to stop their discussion.

The sounds gradually subsided, and attention returned to it.

The unicorn figure then spoke, its tone calm: "Calm down!"

"Everything still needs to proceed according to plan."

"I think none of you would want to see the divinity you were about to possess suddenly slip away, would you?"

The gazes fell silent for a moment, then fell in unison, nodding in agreement: "Indeed!"

"With divinity before us, we must not miss it!"

"We must proceed according to plan, waiting until they are well within our encirclement before taking them down in one fell swoop!"

"We can't give that human any chance to escape!"

"Divinity must be, and can only be, ours!!!"
