God!

When a cultivator's abilities are so extraordinary that they are difficult to fathom, they are called a god.

In the real-world Gene Sequence system, the tenth sequence is also referred to as God.

At this level, one is omnipotent; all the drawbacks of those Sequence Holder will cease to exist, and one can deliver an overwhelming blow to those Sequence Holder below the tenth sequence.

If people treat each other well, no one would not wish to know a God.

But if one antagonizes God, that is a matter of life and death.

On the dusty ground, one after another, blurry-faced, naked gray mud figures emerged. Like machines, these mud figures waved their hands and bared their teeth as they pounced.

"Go to hell!"

Zhou Rihui, who was at the lowest level of the sequence, was the first to probe. He cursed, a faint blue light shimmering across his skin, and then kicked the mudman who was lunging at him from the nearest distance.

The sound was like tiles being kicked and shattered. The gray mud figure that had rushed at them was instantly kicked a hundred meters away, rolling on the ground.

Just a few seconds later, the kicked mud figure got up again and mingled with the crowd of mud, running closer and closer.

"Looks like you're done for. You actually thought you could wear us down with these trash?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted. "Come down and fight! If you can beat me, I'll accept my fate!"

"Snort!"

A thunderous, cold snort rang out again high in the sky, but the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon did not appear.

"Ignore all that, just charge through!"

"There are many dead souls on that mountain, so be careful to stay in groups!"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed, and Ren Anran quickly added.

"Are the dead souls the kind of creatures you depicted in your sketches? What are their weaknesses?"

"Just stick close to Xuezhou!"

Nags pressed for an answer, and Ren Anran quickly responded before shutting her mouth again.

Zhang Xuezhou was discovered as soon as he entered the place with his men, and they were even able to respond to Zhang Xuezhou's words. Their words and actions must have been known to the other party.

Zhang Xuezhou had done some tricks, but Ren Anran didn't want to say it out loud.

Moreover, the situation they faced this time was different from the last time. Perhaps it was because this place was guarded by Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, or perhaps it was because their current physical state was different, or perhaps the other party was also afraid of that staff, or perhaps there were other unknown reasons.

"These guys are a bit weird, but they're definitely a bunch of useless trash!"

Looking around, countless gray mud figures kept emerging from the ground.

However, these clay figures lack agility and cannot keep up with the speed of the crowd, making them relatively easy to dodge; one can even step on their heads and run past them.

Everyone's hearts pounded with anxiety, but as they safely approached the towering black mountain, their emotions gradually calmed down.

Do they climb mountains too?

"They're clumsy and can only climb so much; we can just shake them off then!"

Although their strength was the weakest among them, Bi Dazhi and Zhen Wudi easily dodged these mud figures.

However, the two must also admit that it was indeed terrifying to first see countless gray mud figures crawling up from the dust on the ground.

Even now, countless mud figures are still rushing towards them, baring their teeth and claws, while behind them, mud figures are chasing them like a tidal wave.

If one's sequence strength is inferior, or one's physical fitness is insufficient, such places become a dead end for many Sequence Holder.

The two could only hope that these not-so-flexible clay figures wouldn't be able to climb to higher places; otherwise, they would be stuck in an endless chase.

The black mountain in the distance appeared slender and long, like a tornado Tongtian, but as the group ran closer, they realized how enormous the mountain was.

"As long as the void remains, I shall endure forever!"

"Those who believe in me will have eternal life!"

At the foot of Black Stone Mountain, Zhang Xuezhou cast a spell with his right hand and began to recite the words that the dead souls often chanted.

In the purple Technique Method light, a gray-white shadow flashed across the stone pillar, followed by more dead souls emerging and gathering together like swimming fish.

"Break through the outer shells of these mud figures beside the mountain, and these undead will crawl inside and destroy them!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the seemingly endless clay figures, causing the expressions on everyone's faces to change repeatedly.

"Are we really going to smash all this stuff?" Badun exclaimed. "Can't we climb up and avoid it once we're here?"

"We have to smash it, otherwise we'll be in big trouble!"

In the light of the Yin Entity Tracking Technique, the dead souls gathered like swimming fish, but Zhang Xuezhou knew these dead souls all too well.

Without the presence of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou could easily subdue the dead souls.

However, when he tried to control them, he discovered that some of the dead souls did not obey his commands at all. This meant that with the arrival of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, the dead souls he had previously controlled were in disarray. He needed to regain control of the dead souls and use the massive number of dead souls to push upwards until he completely gained control of them.

He's stalling for time!

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon did not appear; instead, they merely wrapped the dead souls in mud and entangled them.

These clay figures look more like arrangements that Zhang Xuezhou and his team hadn't been able to activate due to their previous leaps and bounds.

The other side knew he could fly and was also well aware that these mud figures couldn't stop Zhang Xuezhou; this behavior was more like a delaying tactic.

The delay might be due to dealing with the body, checking for missing parts, or perhaps the discovery of a dead soul that needs to be regained control.

Unable to guess the situation of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou didn't rush into the palace. Instead, he quickly began to control it from the bottom up, using his past methods.

As he continued chanting, hundreds of dead souls gathered around Zhang Xuezhou.

The sound of the clay figure breaking echoed repeatedly, and when Zhang Xuezhou pointed, these lowly dead souls shot out one after another.

With each shot, specks of light fell, and these broken, mud-covered figures that fell to the ground never struggled to get up again.

"These mud things are perfect for tiptoeing!"

Zhou Rihui shouted loudly, swinging his arms and striking.

Zhang Xuezhou's requirements were not high; he only needed to make cracks appear in the clay figure to complete the task.

And just as Zhang Xuezhou said, after the clay figure was cracked, it never got up again, and was even used as a stepping stone for everyone to occupy a high position.

But Zhou Rihui couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he looked behind him.

Without the cultivation Realm Technique, the effects of spellcasting cannot be clearly seen; however, the Yin Entity Tracking Technique provides a guiding light-like illumination effect.

Under the light, distorted and crazed gray faces came into view.

These creatures have heads similar to humans, but below the skull is a tail-like structure, resembling large tadpoles with their heads on top.

As Zhang Xuezhou recited those strange sounds, these creatures opened their mouths and sang in unison, occasionally flying out and burrowing into the cracked body of the clay figure.

With each dive, firefly-like specks of light fell, and the number of distorted faces gathering around Zhang Xuezhou continued to increase.

"The faster you strike, the better. I'm starting to move upwards!"

The unruly souls at the bottom were constantly devoured and killed, only to be reborn as specks of light. Without the previous drawback of disobeying orders, the accumulated souls continued to increase, and Zhang Xuezhou kept looking up.

He currently controls the lower levels, while the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon control the upper levels.

Zhang Xuezhou's mental power from practicing the Heart Sutra has limited destructive power, while the power of dead souls can truly damage the soul.

In the battle between the two sides, gaining control of the dead souls is extremely important.

Within this towering pillar of dead souls, a certain proportion of the dead souls still obey Zhang Xuezhou's summons. Zhang Xuezhou also needs to control these dead souls as soon as possible to prevent his side's dead souls from being directly annihilated by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

With a certain number of dead souls surrounding him and certain that there was a continuous supply of dead souls from behind, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but give repeated instructions before his body began to rapidly ascend into the air.
