Chapter 901: From Corpse to Spirit

Chapter 901: From Corpse to Spirit

The vast army of the undead drew closer to the Dong Wei headquarters. This kind of battle, fighting the living with the dead, was unprecedented since Dong Wei’s establishment.

I thought Lin Nuo would come alone, but instead, he brought this bunch of corpses along. It felt like a zombie invasion, utterly terrifying!

The Dongwei People weren’t just going to sit and watch these things approach; they had to respond.

With some distance from their enemy, Dong Wei’s first thought was long-range bombardment, unleashing a barrage of Spirit Techniques at the advancing undead army.

However, the leading undead were specially enchanted, possessing robust bodies that could withstand Spirit Technique strikes remarkably well.

Boom after boom resounded, and the smoke of battle began to rise. Various Spirit Techniques from Dong Wei exploded, dazzling and intense, creating a fierce spectacle.

This undead army was resilient and fearless. Despite repeated strikes, their body shields couldn’t withstand all the hits; limbs were damaged, some even lost arms and legs. For an ordinary person, they would have perished long ago, unable to move.

But these were controlled corpses, not turning to ash; they still moved forward like reckless warriors, fearless of death.

The bombardment could halt some, but stopping the entire wave was still challenging.

These corpses kept advancing, like stubborn cockroaches that wouldn’t die, even instilling a slight fear in the Dong Wei ranks.

If they couldn’t be destroyed, they would surely reach us—this wasn’t a joke!

Quickly, form the formation! Defensive array, resist the hordes!

In the blink of an eye, several people dashed to the sides, drawing the tracks of Spirit Arrays on the ground. Then they chanted incantations to cast spells.

In no time, fierce lightning struck from above, winds howled, ice screeched, and fire blazed—all sorts of Spirit Techniques surged forth, truly ferocious.

Lin Nuo watched silently from the shadows, wanting to laugh; they were showing off their corpses nicely, keep it up!

Thanks to the onslaught of Dong Wei’s Spirit Techniques, they temporarily managed to halt the undead’s advance. Most of the corpses had been reduced to nothing but dust.

“Is that it?”

Guo Ran scanned the aftermath, seeing the chaotic scene—blood and guts everywhere. Dong Wei had fought many battles, but they had never completely wiped out an enemy like this, not even a body left behind.

After all, as long as the bodies were there, they could continue to move. If they managed to reach us, the consequences would be unimaginable.

They held off the advance.

Yet…

Though the corpses had lost their physical forms, their souls remained. Gradually, they could be heard, chilling wails that sent shivers down their spines.

This brought panic to Dong Wei—what in the world was happening?

“What is this person doing? These spirits…”

Guo Ran gritted his teeth, not expecting these corpses to have a secondary move after being destroyed.

What should they do next?

He thought Lin Nuo would definitely use these spirits against them, so now it was time to banish them.

Though Dong Wei had many people, they only had a few soul manipulators, but they could still handle these spirits with ease.

“Send my order, Soul Manipulators, come forth and banish the spirits!”

Guo Ran commanded, and soon several Soul Manipulators with staves rushed over. Upon seeing the multitude of drifting spirits, they immediately focused their spiritual energy into their staves.

They began to chant their incantations, performing the banishment ritual!

In an instant, brilliant light emerged, starting the banishment and purification process to clear everything away.

So far, everything was going smoothly; the spirits seemed to disperse just as they had hoped.

It was nothing spectacular.

Guo Ran crossed his arms, thinking this wave of high-level Demon Power was not so impressive, easily countered.

However…

Suddenly, the golden light of the banishing spell shifted, turning into a dark purple hue, as if light was transforming into darkness.

Dong Wei’s people were confused; what was happening with their Spirit Techniques?

For them, it was all too early to understand. Lin Nuo’s magical power level should have appeared years later, but he was a reborn individual, with cheats ahead of time.

Spirits feared purification, but an advanced Demon Practitioner could anti-purify. Rather, it was a reversal—using the banishing energy to empower the spirits.

Moreover, the earlier barrage of Spirit Techniques had provided a fertile ground for the spirits.

The intense Spirit bombardment altered the environment, creating the rich spiritual energy essential for spirit mutations.

One by one, the spirits absorbed the spiritual energy, gaining newfound strength. Originally drifting spirits now stood on the ground, fierce and menacing, like warriors ready for battle, surging forward.

And this batch of spirit soldiers was more spirited than the previous corpses, almost like living beings, full of expressions and thoughts, united against their foes.

Dong Wei was stunned; what was this? They had never seen anything like it.

“Continue the banishment!”

Guo Ran shouted anxiously, and the Spirit Manipulators rushed to banish and perform Spirit Techniques.

But it was futile; the golden light transformed into dark purple, empowering the spirit warriors, who became even more ferocious.

Charge!

This army of spirits obeyed Lin Nuo’s command, each charging forward like heroes into battle at Dong Wei’s headquarters.

“Stop them! Don’t let them get close!”

Dong Wei quickly unleashed various Spirit Techniques, but the spirit army was not as sluggish as the corpse army. They dodged, evaded, and cast spells, establishing defensive shields.

This made things much more difficult for Dong Wei; there was no way to stop the overwhelming spirit army.

Before long, they burst through Dong Wei’s headquarters, where close-combat fighters quickly drew their weapons to engage.

Boom!

With each hit on a spirit, an explosion occurred, powerful enough to break through Dong Wei’s defenses.

Spirit bombs exploded in waves, relentlessly hitting Dong Wei’s headquarters, igniting fierce dark purple flames, and the intensity was no small matter.

The first line of defense crumbled, forcing Dong Wei to retreat; facing a crowd of exploding spirits was no easy task, they simply didn’t have the numbers to withstand it.

Release the Soul Devouring Beasts.

Dong Wei had raised many bizarre spiritual beasts, among them being the Soul Devouring Beasts, aimed at devouring these spirits.

They pounced like lions, completely black and purple, akin to Demon Beasts, surging toward the spirits.

These Soul Devouring Beasts could swallow the spirits one by one without causing explosions since they had the ability to suppress them.

Dong Wei was satisfied with this; they should have unleashed the Soul Devouring Beasts earlier.

However, things didn’t go as they had envisioned.

At this moment, Lin Nuo had already entered Dong Wei’s headquarters, and the Soul Devouring Beasts didn’t attack Lin Nuo. Instead, they began to heed Lin Nuo’s commands.

Having devoured too many spirits, they were now under reverse control.
