Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

At this moment, both the Sakura Forum and the World Forum were in an uproar.

Although the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty have not yet made a move, Kawajin City has been hit by the most terrifying zombie horde in its history. When the sheer number of zombies was revealed on the forum, countless people were shocked.

"The powerful figures of Great Xia haven't made a move yet. Could it be because they discovered the zombie horde in advance?" someone wondered.

"No matter what, Kawazu City is finished."

"With such a terrifying horde of zombies sweeping through, there is no chance of survival."

Many people on the forum simply sighed.

From the information revealed on the forum, they have already foreseen the fate of Kawazu City.

This battle lasted for a whole night.

As dawn broke again, the sounds of battle continued in Kawazu City. That was the very heart of Kawazu City, where the core forces of several major guilds were concentrated, firmly guarding their last remaining territory.

Of course, most of them were dead by then.

after all--

Even the tens of millions of zombies have dwindled to less than two million.

That night, all the spaceships landed on land and stopped flying, as that would consume a large amount of crystal cores. Besides, with Master Brother around, there was no need to worry about zombie harassment.

"It's almost time. It's time for us to make our move." Tang Sanzang licked his lips, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"What a pity, after a night of fighting, the entire Sakura population of Kawazu City only managed to raise eleven Tier 5 zombies."

The master shook his head and sighed softly.

It is evident that the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes for both evolved beings and other races to advance.

"Eleven level-five zombies, should we divide them up?" someone asked.

"How do we divide it?"

Currently, there are only a handful of people capable of killing a fifth-tier opponent in a short period of time.

Even a super S-level powerhouse like Lu Qi would need at least half an hour to kill a fifth-level zombie with his fourth-level strength, and even then, he might not be able to. Let alone other fourth-level powerhouses.

At this stage, none of the zombie kings that can grow to the fifth tier are simple.

They were all beings who had awakened their talents.

"Anyway, there are only a few big shots who can quickly kill fifth-tier zombies. The others should just find their own targets to attack," Lu Qi said with a smile.

The remaining zombies in Kawazu City are mostly Tier 3, with very few Tier 2 zombies left, which is enough to meet everyone's needs.

After all, there were over 12,000 powerful figures from the Great Xia Dynasty who came here, the weakest of whom were at the peak of the third rank, and a few had reached the fourth rank. If it weren't for the presence of super experts like Lin Yu, countless people would have died facing the current horde of corpses.

But they weren't worried at the moment.

"I agree, it's more reasonable for soldiers to fight soldiers and generals to fight generals."

Many people nodded frantically.

"Then let's get started."

After the division of labor was completed, everyone rushed to the battlefield without hesitation, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

As soon as Lin Yu appeared, he instantly entered his Blazing Flame form and locked onto two of the fifth-tier zombie kings. He unleashed his first move, [Secret Technique: Blazing Flame Annihilation Slash], which, with boundless power, tore the bodies of the two zombie kings apart in an instant.

In less than a second, two fifth-order crystal cores were obtained.

However, Lin Yu did not feel much joy about this.

Because if he wants to advance now, the requirements for a fifth-tier crystal core are quite high. A simple fifth-tier core is already very weak; it must be an extraordinary fifth-tier core. For something that can be instantly killed like this, even if it is a fifth-tier crystal core, the effect after he absorbs it is very weak.

Only now did Lin Yu understand.

As you progress further, each level only requires ten crystal cores to advance, but that applies to ordinary powerhouses.

For any highly talented evolver, ten crystal cores of the same tier won't be enough to improve their abilities. What's needed are crystal cores of the same tier that contain even more terrifying energy, such as those belonging to individuals with exceptional talent, or even those from a higher tier, to have a noticeable effect.

On the battlefield.

In just a few seconds, eleven level-five zombies were swiftly killed.

Then, Lin Yu and the others attacked the fourth-tier zombies, killing them almost one by one.

-

And at that very moment.

In a world of empty rules.

A towering figure suddenly exploded without warning, but the surrounding figures seemed to have anticipated it, their bodies trembling slightly before making no further moves.

"May you rest in peace!"

The Thunder Emperor spoke softly, his tone filled with deep sorrow.

The figures behind him were the same; a sense of sorrow emanated from them, directly affecting this world of rules.

A golden order surged forth.

"Hahaha--"

"There's no need for such formalities, everyone. Although I'm dying, I've taken the divine [Void] with me. My life has been worthwhile, hahaha!!"

The figures that had just exploded slowly coalesced, transforming into the shape of an old man.

He laughed wildly for a moment before slowly stopping. He looked at the figures around him and said, "The future is in your hands, and also—"

He paused, then continued, "And those little ones too!"

"Wind Emperor, may you rest in peace. Even in your old age, you can still take away the divine [Void]. We are all inferior to you!" a figure slowly spoke.

"good!"

After the old man uttered a single word with great bravado, his body exploded once more.

only--

After this explosion, he was never able to reassemble and completely dissipated into this world.

This body is merely a remnant of his will left behind here.

When the physical body perishes, this will also vanishes.

The figures remained silent for a long, long time before someone slowly spoke: "Elder Feng set a good example for us. He abandoned his aged body, released all his 'thoughts' and 'thoughts,' and used the belief in hope to re-condense his imperial body to bear all his power, directly taking away the god [Void]."

"Yes, [Void] is ranked third among the gods in the Dark Universe. That such a powerful god could be taken away is truly admirable!"

"However, after the Wind Emperor's fall, the places where he left his power will soon be unable to be sealed. It will probably break open one by one before they are exposed to the outside world. At that time, it will truly be the beginning of despair for those little guys."

A figure let out a soft sigh.

There are some things that even they are powerless to interfere with.

Moreover, true strength ultimately requires trials and tribulations to truly grow.

"What is meant to come will eventually come. Only when those places are revealed and we reintegrate into that world can we get everything back on track and truly succeed in the cycle of reincarnation and reshaping. Otherwise, everything is just a dream, an illusion."

"Yes, who can truly bear such a terrifying fate and karma?"

The faint sighs gradually faded away.
