The Restrained Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon
The black mountains formed pillars of dead souls.
This high mountain imprisons countless confused and irrational dead souls, causing them to constantly teeter between life and death.
The unintelligent souls clearly misjudged him as a member of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon. This identity would be easily exposed when the real person appeared, but once a herd mentality was formed, it would be difficult to stop.
What Zhang Xuezhou needs to do is to keep accumulating until the quantity makes up for the difference in the quality of the dead souls, thereby continuously pushing upwards.
Once you've done something once, you become very familiar with it. Although Zhang Xuezhou's memory was hazy, his repeated visits to familiar places brought back memories that kept flooding his mind, and he knew exactly what to do.
The closer he got to a life-or-death battle, the more composed he became, striving to avoid any oversights and to gain even the slightest advantage over himself.
"He was able to spot us the instant we entered, so why did he ignore your actions?"
As they continued upwards along the Pillar of Dead Souls for nearly half the distance, Zhang Xuezhou saw Ren Anran hurriedly ascending with the Boundless Jade Wall in her hand.
Having had most of its Xuan Qi heavy armor stripped away by Xuan Ming, Ren Anran's Yang Soul incarnation now only shimmered with mottled golden light, its previously impenetrable defense gone.
She commanded her Yang Soul to catch up with Zhang Xuezhou, constantly approaching and occasionally blocking his path, clearly prepared to withstand any attacks.
The anticipated confrontation did not occur, which surprised Ren Anran.
"Perhaps he's also controlling the dead souls up there, or perhaps he has more important things to do right now!"
Zhang Xuezhou also found it difficult to guess.
This situation was difficult for Ren Anran to understand, and even Zhang Xuezhou couldn't figure it out.
Even if a bandit stronghold is attacked by government troops, the bandits will react in various ways once they learn of the situation.
However, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon only activated the mud figures at the very beginning, and these mud figures charged forward like moths to a flame, as if they were worthless consumables.
Apart from that, Zhang Xuezhou has not yet encountered any of the methods used by the other party.
He had been in this space for almost an hour.
"I feel like we might need to speed things up," Ren Anran said worriedly. "He's definitely using some time-consuming methods!"
I need your help!
Zhang Xuezhou pointed forward.
As the commander, Zhang Xuezhou needed to unleash the Yin Entity Tracking Technique, levitate his body, and chant fixed incantations, making it impossible for him to charge ahead.
His constant upward progress relies on the war between the dead.
Ren Anran's involvement will obviously accelerate the pace of the war and also reduce the time spent.
"These dead souls are especially deadly to the spirit, so you need to be careful in your current state," Zhang Xuezhou warned.
"I conducted tests below, and the Boundless Jade Wall has a significant effect on these dead souls," Ren Anran said, holding the mirror. "Raise the light in your hand as high as possible, and I'll shine the Boundless Jade Wall on those that are disobedient. That should make killing them faster!"
"Wonderful!"
Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in admiration, feeling that the fortune he had gained from sacrificing to Grian was still exerting its influence, and some unexpected assistance had come his way.
His gaze swept downwards, and he saw that the pile of mud-covered corpses beneath the Pillar of Dead Souls had formed a small mountain.
Those Sequence Holder weren't good at climbing continued to fight below, while Ren Anran, who had the ability to climb, rushed to Zhang Xuezhou's side. Zhang Xuezhou could vaguely see Badun also running upwards. Ren Yisheng would occasionally grab the Death Soul Pillar and then fly upwards for a distance. Nagoth climbed a distance with his grappling hook and then stopped, seemingly shouting to the people below.
He used his right hand to release the Yin Entity Tracking Technique and his left hand to use the Cloud Soaring Technique, which looked somewhat like he was using both hands simultaneously. However, this was only because Zhang Xuezhou had a high level of Technique Method and the Yin Entity Tracking Technique was very weak, which resulted in the simultaneous release of the two Technique Method.
As his body continued to rise into the air, Zhang Xuezhou moved from the center position to the front.
The purple light of the Yin Entity Tracking Technique is like a battle flag; wherever the light shines, countless dead souls gather around, constantly pushing it forward.
Ren Anran's use of the Boundless Jade Wall had a remarkable effect. This mirror was not very effective against large numbers of dead souls, but the number of high-level dead souls decreased as they rose higher.
Any higher-level undead souls that are drawn to the attention of the undead will fall into chaos and become unable to move, thus being turned into specks of light and falling as the undead horde shuttles back and forth.
Dead souls clad in shimmering silver armor began to appear around Zhang Xuezhou, their numbers steadily increasing.
Compared to his first war of the dead, he has a greater number of high-level dead souls remaining this time.
"You insubordinates have committed an unforgivable crime of insubordination!"
"What!"
When the familiar voice blocking the way appeared, Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and saw a female undead soul with wings of light and shadow standing at the top.
His loud shout clearly stunned 'what' for a few seconds.
The strongest guard atop the Pillar of Dead Souls clearly remembered Zhang Xuezhou, and even more so, his name. Unlike last time, he didn't fight back and forth; after a few seconds of hesitation, he knelt down.
"You are the master, what's inside?"
"What?" he looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then pointed ahead with an incredulous expression.
"That's heresy, heresy plotting rebellion!"
Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and only a cold snort and disdainful voice came from ahead.
"Charge in!"
Zhang Xuezhou urged her on, and the most powerful female undead stood up, her steps heavy as she continued forward, followed by a horde of undead clad in armor.
Ren Anran made a gesture, while Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.
"As long as the void remains, I shall endure forever!"
"Those who believe in me will have eternal life!"
A chanting voice indistinguishable from Zhang Xuezhou's rang out, and before the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could even begin to manipulate it, 'What' had already led the dead souls into the distorted hall.
"Zhuoya, what are you doing? Damn it, wipe them out!"
The angry voice of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon rang out, accompanied by a scream of "What?!" A series of points of light surged out from the area in front and then fell down.
"Charge in and kill the heretics!"
Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and the purple light he was holding in his right hand shone brightly.
No matter how many souls die, they will continuously reincarnate and be reborn, thus constantly flowing into the main hall.
Zhang Xuezhou did not shy away from the idea of reincarnation.
To enter the main hall, at the very least, the dead souls ahead need to clear a safe area.
"Quack, Master, ignore that guy with the crown. Stop these rebellious fools first, otherwise our priesthood won't be able to control him, and you won't be able to refine him in peace!"
The quacking of the Demon Thought ducks also began to drift outside.
While seemingly offering advice, Yao Nianyazi was actually tipping off others, continuing his usual practice of betting on both sides.
"A guy wearing a crown? Did our teacher not return to Kunlun, but instead rushed here?"
Now, Zhang Xuezhou finally understood why the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had completely ignored him and had only uttered a few harsh words.
In this distorted hall, the Emperor also rushed in, becoming a formidable enemy that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon had no choice but to confront.
