Hundreds upon thousands of undead creatures crowded together, silver-white light flickering in every pair of eyes as they stared fixedly at him.
Among these undead creatures were skeletons, Liches, Headless Terror Knights, and even several Abominations-massive beings with astonishing combat strength-but none of a higher rank. After all, higher-ranking undead creatures possessed their own consciousness, knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and would not easily be captured and controlled by heavenly flames.
Yet these undead creatures differed from those in the outside world. They exuded extremely dense yin energy, and their bodies seemed cast entirely from steel, giving them an exceptionally formidable air. Although they lunged with ferocious momentum, Huo Yuhao sensed no trace of life from them. They seemed to have had their souls hollowed out, leaving their bodies steeped in death.
"The flames of these undead creatures' souls have all been burned away and devoured by that heavenly flame. They have fallen completely under its control, so they have even lost their instinctive reactions."
"And without souls, they cannot feel pain or fear attacks. Unless you reduce them to dust and ashes, they will continue attacking others under the heavenly flame's control, even if only a single bone remains," Yao Lao said after probing them.
"Yuhao, be careful. These undead creatures aren't particularly powerful, but there are far too many of them. Try not to get hurt. Attack them with your heavenly flame; it might have an unexpectedly effective result."
Huo Yuhao nodded, icy-white light flickering in his eyes. He reached back with his right hand and took down the Mysterious Heavy Ruler he had strapped to his back beforehand. White, ice-cold flames abruptly surged across its surface.
Bang!
A hard rock lay directly beneath the spot where the Mysterious Heavy Ruler's tip touched the ground.
