Chapter 28:Arrives

Mo Qing’s expression instantly turned serious. Was this a trap set for him?

The purple-robed corpse king before them seemed to be the one Sean was responsible for stopping.

Could it be that…

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw on another battlefield in the distance that a heroic and spirited woman was wielding a long halberd and pressing Sean step by step. Judging from her appearance alone, he could not recognize her as a corpse king who had been resurrected from the dead.

“Did it evolve so quickly? Or is it just an isolated case?”

Mo Qing’s heart sank. He could tell that this Corpse King’s combat power was on a completely different level from the other Corpse Kings.

Sean, who was initially at ease, now had to give it his all.

Given time, it may become an extremely terrifying entity.

“Aren’t you going to make a move?” With these thoughts racing, Mo Qing reassessed the situation. Although there were two Corpse Kings, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand in a real fight.

The Corpse King was already weaker than other Source Energy Users of the same level, and with the addition of a newly born Corpse King, he was unlikely to pose a threat. Therefore, he only spoke and did not make the first move.

The purple-robed corpse king simply smiled and said, “No rush. Our target isn’t you; we just want the city lord to be a witness.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his hand and gently lifted it up. The dead zombies and source energy users on the battlefield floated into the air and gathered on his head to form a huge fleshy ball covered with meridians and blood vessels.

Mo Qing instinctively sensed something was wrong. Lightning crackled around his body, and in the next instant, countless arcs of electricity struck the fleshy ball.

The fleshy ball was completely unharmed; in fact, it seemed to have gained a bit more vitality.

The purple-robed corpse king laughed and said, “It’s useless. You don’t understand what you’re facing at all.”

Suddenly, the fleshy ball undulated slightly, emitting a sound like a heartbeat.

At that moment, both the zombies on the battlefield and the source energy users heard this heartbeat, and they all looked towards it in unison.

Sean used his Shadow Domain to hold back the five Corpse Kings, glanced at the ball of flesh, and felt a slight restlessness in his power. He frowned slightly, “This feeling…?”

Watching the ever-growing ball of flesh, the purple-robed zombie king revealed a satisfied expression, looked at the newly crowned zombie king beside him, and said, “Go ahead, I’ll be there shortly.”

“Yes.” The newly crowned Corpse King responded, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Then, with a devout expression, he plunged into the fleshy ball, sinking inside without making a sound.

As Mo Qing watched this action, his intuition told him that something bad was about to be born.

But at this moment, his power seemed to be suppressed by something, and he couldn’t use it.

As the fleshy ball grew to cover a quarter of the battlefield, the purple-robed corpse king raised his arms and opened his mouth towards it. In an instant, his mouth expanded to an unbelievable size, swallowing the fleshy ball whole and licking his lips.

“Finally done.” He chuckled, and then his whole body rapidly swelled up and became fragmented. At the same time, countless heads grew from his limbs, their expressions blank and their eyes empty.

Mo Qing could even see the teammates who had just died from above.

They all stared at him, their faces expressionless.

In the distance, Sean’s expression changed drastically. He waved his hand, knocking the female zombie king to the ground, creating a deep crater. He coldly asked, “What exactly did you guys create?”

The female zombie king rose from the ground, her face beaming with excitement, and said, “Who cares? I can’t interfere with Ziyi’s affairs; I’m just cooperating with it. What you should be most concerned about right now is our battle!”

With that, she used her halberd as a fulcrum and leaped to stand in front of Sean again, knocking away all the surrounding shadow power. Just as she was about to touch Sean, she was finally held down by two large hands and struggled incessantly.

“Madman,” Sean cursed. The Corpse King in front of him was like a cockroach, difficult to kill and constantly getting stronger if you kept fighting it. He had sensed something was wrong a long time ago.

At the same time, he used the Shadow Domain to trap the other Corpse Kings, and Sean prepared to rush to Mo Qing’s place.

At this moment, the female corpse king’s expression turned calm, and she said indifferently, “It’s no use. You can’t stop it. It is the embodiment of the tide’s will. Its birth is inevitable, and you are the sacrifices offered to it.”

“Source Energy Tide?” Sean exclaimed in surprise, seemingly not expecting to hear this term, and pressed, “What do you know?”

The female corpse king didn’t answer, but stared at him intently for a moment and said, “If you agree to continue fighting me, I’ll tell you.”

Sean immediately replied, “Okay, I agree.”

The female corpse queen then smiled and said, “I don’t know what the will of the tides really is. I just often hear it whispering in our ears, so I call it that. It tells us that only one of us or humans can live. The loser will lose all power. We are already dead, and we can’t let this happen again.”

Upon hearing this, Sean remained silent for a moment before whispering, “Source Energy, is it going to kill us?”

At that moment, he began to have deep doubts about the power within his body.

He already knew the truth, that the source energy was actually the Temple’s Rainbow Elixir, but he hadn’t expected that the Rainbow Elixir itself might also develop consciousness.

Perhaps this cannot be called consciousness, but is merely a collection of mental entities.

“We must inform that person about this as soon as possible.”

Now, the only person he can think of who can handle this matter is the one sitting high in the Black Tower.

Suddenly, a sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Suddenly, a giant tree hundreds of feet tall appeared on the entire Hengduan Mountains.

Its branches are as withered as an old man’s skin, but at the ends of the branches hang human heads, crowded together like bunches of grapes.

The sound came from it swinging its many branches and suddenly crashing into the pillar of heaven, causing the ground to tremble violently. Many people in Weiqing City who witnessed this scene were shocked and terrified.

Beneath the giant tree, Mo Qing weaved through the branches, trying his best to rescue those outside the formation.

Those who couldn’t keep up were instantly pierced through the body by the paper strips, becoming part of the heads on them.

“What the hell is this thing?”

Inside the city, Su Qi saw this scene and his expression turned ugly; no one had expected such a thing to appear.

Pierd walked over, shook his head and said, “In terms of energy reaction alone, this thing has almost no weaknesses. The only way to destroy it is to obliterate it with energy far exceeding its own, but we have already lost the technology to make such a weapon.”

Su Qi nodded, but couldn’t help glancing towards the Black Tower.

Now, even he couldn’t be sure if that person had any confidence.

…

…

…

Meanwhile, at the top of the Black Tower, a girl in a black dress with a cool expression stood with her hands behind her back, surrounded by the sound of waves crashing and surging around her, never ceasing.

“It’s finally here…”

She gazed at the horizon, seemingly sighing softly. Gradually, a wisp of profound energy spread out from her, instantly enveloping Wei Qingcheng’s sky and continuing to expand outwards.

At this moment, all life forms within the range of this aura felt an indescribable sense of oppression—an absolute suppression of life levels.

Countless people in the city held their breath; in such deathly silence, even the sound of their heartbeats became exceptionally clear.

Hengduan Mountains.

As the black curtain of sky was about to cover them, the female corpse king stared blankly at the scene, looking at Sean as if to say, “What exactly are you hiding there?”

Sean was speechless.

That person finally made a move.

Even he realized it, how could that person not know?

However, it seems that the target of that being is not this tidal incarnation?

Sean frowned and looked into the distance
