Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Entering

These three women were just here for the drama, completely unbothered by the chaos.

They even thought about using themselves as bait to fish.

To be fair, it’s a decent idea, albeit a rotten one.

How many rich folks could be lured by beauty, anyway? Nobody’s a fool—Lu Ye must have some serious confidence to stroll around with these three lovely ladies in tow!

Generally, those with absolute confidence and strength aren’t the type to let themselves get manipulated by lesser talents.

Under Lu Ye’s insistence, the three women at least made some adjustments.

Even with the changes, they were still drop-dead gorgeous.

But hey, it’s fine; they fit into the realm of normal prettiness now—enough to dazzle but not enough to have people gasping for air.

The Nine Heavens were far away from the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse.

With the four of them traveling together and with Little Heavenly Dao and Shen Xitang around, Lu Ye didn’t really feel bored.

In fact, he found it a bit strange because these two never showed up when he was on the road before. Now, it was like they decided to tag along; what kind of weirdness was that?

Five days went by.

They were in a hurry but also taking their time.

They were now close to the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse, and the chances of running into powerful people had skyrocketed.

Lu Ye spotted no less than five Quasi-Emperors zipping by.

Among them were big shots radiating an aura that could suppress the heavens, some riding dragons and others riding qilins.

Warships covered in dragon and phoenix carvings were as large as stars, exuding terrifying pressure.

There was a gigantic Mo Huo Jiao Long, a type of dragon, beneath a chaotic shadow looming on its head.

Flashes of light zipped past, disappearing in a blink.

Divine light filled the sky with overwhelming might.

It had been ages since Lu Ye saw a scene like this, and he missed it dearly.

Countless figures appeared in the void; some powerful factions revealed their identities, while many remained anonymous—who knows how many sneaky schemers were hidden in their midst?

In the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse, killings were mostly without consequences; once inside, everyone’s strength would be affected to some extent.

After all, the Heavenly Zombie Poison froze half of one’s True Essence, and even the natural aura of the Heavenly Zombie could effectively suppress many.

Lu Ye was quietly observing the people around him.

So familiar!

So many strong fighters; he had taken down quite a few in his past life because they were all notorious characters.

One had to wonder if Lu Ye was just unlucky or lucky this time; after crossing such a vast void, he hadn’t bumped into any trouble.

In the midst of various factions, a dark crack slowly opened.

A terrifying aura continuously seeped out.

The entrance to the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse hadn’t fully opened yet, but people were arriving non-stop. At this point, over a hundred thousand had gathered.

That number was pretty daunting.

There were many who were strong, and many who were weak.

There were definitely some Great Emperors lurking in the shadows.

Though Great Emperors couldn’t enter the Ancient Land, they could still pillage from outside.

The real question was, were there any Celestial Lords around?

In his previous life, Lu Ye had been hit by Heavenly Zombie Poison, and given how long it had been since the Ancient Land showed up, who had gotten their hands on the Heavenly Zombie Poison?

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord?

That was one possibility, but it could also be someone else.

A sea of people!

Everyone was on high alert; unless they were familiar faces or top-tier powers, others remained silent.

Everyone knew that a chance like this in the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse would definitely lead to major casualties, but that’s just how cultivation goes.

Time passed by second by second.

With a thunderous boom, the black crack stabilized completely.

The next moment, a massive suction force emanated from the Ancient Land, violent winds made the void blurry, and enormous amounts of spiritual energy surged towards the core of the Ancient Land.

The strong quickly fortified their defenses to steady themselves.

The weak…

The weak screamed in despair, utterly unable to withstand this suction and were pulled towards the black hole.

In that instant, over seventy percent of the cultivators were sucked away.

Then came a horrific crunching sound.

Lu Ye was a bit surprised, not because so many cultivators had died at once, but because the Heavenly Zombie seemed to enjoy chewing.

Could it be that the Heavenly Zombie really had the ability to bring the dead back to life?

Truly a Celestial Lord; impressive!

The suction kept forcefully pulling, and some struggled to hold on; those who couldn’t would be swept away.

The Ancient Land manifested because the Heavenly Zombie needed a fresh surge of energy.

The whirlwind twisted the void, as if attempting to drag the entire dimension inside.

This lasted for a full three days, with nearby stars getting pulled in by the thousands, disappearing into the black hole. Only then did the spiritual energy around become extremely thin, and the suction abruptly ceased.

At the moment the suction faded, countless figures charged towards the black hole.

Streams of light filled the black void, a breathtaking sight.

Lu Ye and his three companions surged forward too.

The scenery ahead shifted.

This was Lu Ye’s first time in the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse.

Before him lay a realm shrouded in mist; it was an expansive land filled with bizarre plants. Each of these wasn’t a spiritual plant but also didn’t just die—they just kept growing.

A familiar sensation washed over Lu Ye.

As the white fog swirled, his Primordial Force started to thicken, as if he had fallen victim to the Heavenly Zombie Poison all over again.

Back then, his energy had come to a standstill.

Now, though his Primordial Force slowed, it was still strong enough that nine-tenths of it functioned normally; after all, it had reached Quasi-Emperor level, so limitations weren’t too severe.

Lu Ye vanished from sight.

Since he was here, he’d go all out.

The Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse held resources from a major force led by a Celestial Lord—how much was there? Even thinking about it was mind-boggling.

Because the laws of the Heavenly Zombie tend to erupt unexpectedly, the Imperishable Ancient Kingdom had no defense and ended up in such a state.

“Ha!”

A strange screech suddenly rang out.

A figure with a deathly pale face and silver hair lunged straight at Lu Ye.

Its sharp claws tore through the mist, moving with lightning speed.

Lu Ye swung his sword, and the zombie was cleaved in two.

Silver hair? Likely a weakling at the Imperishable Realm; yet even in this desolate place, such a creature existed. Imagine meeting one in a town or palace—that would be terrifying.

Lu Ye checked the zombie’s characteristics and collected the space ring from its claws.

“System, analyze how to kill zombies faster.”

And thus began his merry monster-slaying spree!

His consciousness spread out like a flood, without any specific goal, as he started to search rapidly.

Soon, a massive city appeared in Lu Ye’s sights.

Hundreds of figures were frantically slaughtering zombies, full of excitement.

One zombie, covered in black fur, silently snuck up and struck—yanking out the Nascent Soul of a Broken Realm cultivator and swallowing it whole.

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt a rush of excitement.

The Black-haired Zombie was perfect for him now.

So, let’s kill!
