At that critical moment, Wang Xuan swung his halberd to defend himself, colliding with Ran Min's iron fist.
"Bang!"
After a violent collision, Wang Xuan's halberd shattered, and he used the force to retreat several hundred steps, but he ultimately managed to withstand the attack.
Because in that instant, all the hair on his body fell off, and he had evolved from a third-level hairy zombie into a fourth-level flying zombie, at the same level as Ran Min!
After the evolution was complete, Wang Xuan's scalp tingled, and his originally bald head grew a thick head of black hair, and his appearance was fixed at around thirty years old.
Fourth-tier flying zombies can not only fly and burrow underground, but also look no different from humans!
Ran Min looked at Wang Xuan with surprise and astonishment, then said in a lecturing tone, "I didn't expect you to have evolved into a flying zombie as well. Very good, from now on you will be the second general under your master!"
Wang Xuan seemed to see 100,000 adorable alpacas galloping past in front of him. What the hell is this Second General? Am I the kind of person who would be someone else's underling?
Just then, his strength broke through to the Transcendent level, and he wanted to find someone to practice with. Without wasting any more words with Ran Min, he made a fist and threw a punch.
Ran Min, brimming with anger, threw a punch, colliding with Wang Xuan. The two were evenly matched.
The tribulation lightning descended from the sky once more, this time with three times the power of the previous lightning, enough to threaten the lives of the two of them!
Wang Xuan and Ran Min simultaneously stopped, preparing to deal with this wave of tribulation lightning.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning struck, and Ran Min collapsed to the ground, while Wang Xuan was completely unharmed, because the lightning tribulation that had just descended had not even touched Wang Xuan's head.
Although this is not Wang Xuan's true form, but only a Xuan Yin incarnation, and the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth is not inside the Xuan Yin incarnation, the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth is just that unreasonable.
The so-called ability to conceal the secrets of heaven can not only hide the secrets of Wang Xuan's true body, but also his avatars!
"I refuse to accept this! Why is this damned Heaven only attacking me! We're all flying zombies, we should all be treated equally!" Ran Min roared in resentment, but Heaven completely ignored him.
Wang Xuan laughed loudly and seized the opportunity to kick Ran Min while he was down. Before Ran Min could absorb the essence to recover from his injuries, he pounced on him and unleashed a barrage of punches.
Poor Ran Min had just been severely injured by the tribulation lightning, and could only exert five or six tenths of his strength. How could he be a match for Wang Xuan?
Wang Xuan's entire body radiated a purplish-black light, which was the fierce aura that a fourth-order flying zombie could use, making him appear as if he were a demon god.
He showed no mercy. Since Ran Min had already developed his own consciousness, he couldn't refine him into a Xuan Yin incarnation. Instead, he devoured the Qi and essence within Ran Min's body, so that this incarnation could advance its cultivation further.
Ran Min struggled desperately, but to no avail. Wang Xuan shattered his chest with a punch, grabbed his heart with his palm, and refined the surging essence into his own.
The tribulation clouds in the sky surged and locked onto Ran Min once again. If Wang Xuan did not dodge, this tribulation lightning would definitely attack him as well!
"Trouble!" Wang Xuan cursed, throwing several punches with his iron fist, smashing Ran Min's head and completely extinguishing Ran Min's will.
Without Ran Min as its target, the tribulation lightning paused for a moment before descending upon the ordinary zombies again.
But at that moment, a bronze coffin struck the sky, and billowing black gas poured out of it, as thick as ink.
The originally powerful and vast tribulation clouds were actually dispersed by that ancient bronze coffin!
Wang Xuan's gaze sharpened; finally, this powerful being from another world had appeared!
Under Wang Xuan's perception, within a radius of several kilometers of the bronze coffin, the entire world merged with the bronze coffin, or rather, merged with the otherworldly powerhouse inside the bronze coffin.
At this moment, even the will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world lost control of this territory, which was transformed into a domain belonging exclusively to the powerful beings from another world.
This is the unity of heaven and man, which only a master at the fifth level of the Heaven and Man realm can achieve!
"This mysterious enemy has actually reached the Celestial Realm. My Xuan Yin Avatar has only just broken through to the fourth level of Transcendent Realm. I am no match for him!" Wang Xuan was quite self-aware and, carrying Ran Min's corpse, leaped away.
The three hundred elite Xuanjia cavalry also retreated under the leadership of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. At this time, no one dared to stay here anymore, as this place had been transformed into a demon kingdom!
Chapter Ninety-Five Battle Against Heaven
Rolling demonic clouds emanated from the ancient bronze coffin, turning everything in their path into demonic land!
Those soldiers who had been temporarily stationed suddenly got up from the ground and dragged their mutilated bodies toward the bronze coffin.
As they walked, their bodies gradually melted away, becoming part of the demonic cloud, and were then swallowed up by the ancient bronze coffin.
Heaven was enraged, as if it had seen its father's killer. Chains of laws condensed from the void and coiled around the bronze coffin.
At that moment, the lid of the bronze coffin opened a crack, and an arm emerged from it.
What an arm it was! It was completely black, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and what was even more terrifying was that it was covered with mouths!
A black demonic hand swept across the heavens, shattering all the chains of law. Not only that, but the black demonic hand suddenly grabbed at the air, pulling a figure away with an inexplicable force and holding it firmly in its grasp.
That figure was none other than Li Yuanba!
While fleeing, Wang Xuan kept an eye on the battle behind him. Upon seeing this scene, he silently mourned for Li Yuanba.
The black demonic hand ignored the attack of the heavens and dragged Li Yuanba directly into the bronze coffin. Then, the sound of wild beasts chewing food came from inside the coffin, which was terrifying.
The once-proud and talented Li Yuanba was actually devoured alive!
Moreover, the otherworldly powerhouse in that bronze coffin not only devoured Li Yuanba's physical body, but also his soul. Even if Heaven were willing to go to great lengths, it would be impossible to revive him.
Wang Xuan felt a chill run through his body. He had been wondering why there were so many less Tier 3 zombies. Now it seemed that the missing Tier 3 zombies had clearly met the same fate as Li Yuanba, being eaten by a powerful being from another world!
After Li Yuanba finished eating, the bronze coffin was opened a little more, and a black arm stretched out from it, grabbing at Wang Xuan!
That powerful being from another world actually set his sights on Wang Xuan, treating him as his prey!
Wang Xuan roared and used the Lingxu Step to escape at lightning speed. Just as he was about to escape the demonic domain within a few kilometers, a powerful suction force enveloped his body.
This power is so strong that even a master at the peak of the Dao realm would have no power to resist it.
Even though Wang Xuan's Xuan Yin avatar had reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, it only held on for a moment before its body involuntarily flew towards the bronze coffin.
"I'm doomed. I finally managed to create a powerful avatar. Am I going to be eaten today?" Wang Xuan was in despair. He didn't want to experience being eaten.
Just then, the entire space trembled, and the bronze coffin was blasted away by an invisible force. The power that had been absorbing Wang Xuan dissipated instantly, allowing him to escape a calamity.
Wang Xuan wiped away a cold sweat, not daring to stay there any longer. With a few leaps, he finally escaped the Demon Realm.
He fled forward for over a thousand meters before daring to glance back.
A gigantic eyeball suddenly appeared in the void, a manifestation of the will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world, truly a divine eye!
The Heavenly Eye blinked incessantly, and with each blink, a hazy gray light shot out from it, hurtling towards the bronze coffin.
The bronze coffin had been struck by a beam of light, which sent it flying and allowed Wang Xuan to escape unscathed!
"roar!"
A beast-like roar came from the bronze coffin, and then the entire coffin lid was blown off, finally revealing the true face of the powerful being from another world.
It was a sinister man in his twenties or thirties. He was dressed in red and had no life force to be felt on his body. Instead, he was like a zombie, full of overwhelming malevolent energy.
More importantly, this person only had half a body. His body below the waist had been severed at the waist and completely destroyed!
Upon seeing this sinister man, Wang Xuan's Xuan Yin avatar involuntarily felt a sense of submission. This was a unique level of suppression possessed by zombies, which made him instantly understand the man's identity.
That was clearly a fifth-order zombie with cultivation comparable to the Celestial Realm!
Zombies do not enter the cycle of reincarnation. Having evolved to the fifth-tier zombie level, their physical bodies are incredibly strong and difficult to destroy, earning them the title of "unyielding bones."
Even though the opponent's physical body was powerful, half of it was still destroyed, indicating that it had suffered a severe injury and its strength had dropped by more than half.
If that weren't the case, even a low-martial-power world like the Sui and Tang Dynasties would probably have been destroyed by the other side long ago, so how could it have been sealed for hundreds of years?
Facing the light emanating from the Heavenly Eye, the sinister man grabbed the bronze coffin with both hands, using it as a weapon to smash it horizontally.
The bronze coffin was a powerful magical artifact. Even though the light emitted by the Heavenly Eye was extremely sharp, it was dispersed by the bronze coffin and could not harm the opponent in the slightest.
What followed was a powerful explosion. The divine light of the Heavenly Eye was shattered into countless fragments that scattered in all directions, making the ground look as if it had been bombed by countless bombs, with explosions rising and falling one after another.
The allied forces of the feudal lords were first ravaged by the Demon Realm, and then baptized by the divine light of the Heavenly Eye. In the end, less than one in ten survived.
Wang Xuan looked at his men. Of the three hundred elite Xuanjia cavalry he had painstakingly assembled, only a mere twenty or so remained. Even Cheng Yaojin had been killed in action, and the entire army had almost been wiped out.
"My lord, what should we do?" Qin Qiong asked Wang Xuan, both frightened and apprehensive.
Even though Qin Qiong was a man of iron, after being crushed by this inhuman force, he was exhausted in both body and mind, and no longer had the courage to resist.
Wang Xuan could understand this. If he weren't just an avatar here, and even if it were destroyed, it wouldn't kill his real body, Wang Xuan would probably have wet himself by now.
He waved his hand, signaling Qin Qiong to lead the remaining elite Xuanjia cavalry away quickly, as this was no longer something they could interfere with.
After Qin Qiong and the others left, Wang Xuan continued to watch the battle ahead, which had entered a critical stage.
The divine light emitted by the Heavenly Eye was extremely sharp. Even though it was scattered by the otherworldly zombie king using the bronze coffin, the opponent had still expended a considerable amount of power. If it were a contest of attrition, Heaven's Will would definitely have the upper hand.
The Zombie King was clearly aware of this as well. After blocking several more divine rays, he suddenly roared and charged towards the eyeball in the sky, enduring the attacks.
boom!
The zombie king was struck by a divine beam of light, which pierced a large hole through his seemingly indestructible zombie body, penetrating his entire chest.
The bronze coffin in his hand slammed into the eyeball, shattering it instantly.
The eyeball in the void was formed from the will of the world. Its destruction dealt a severe blow to the will of the world, as if the entire world was wailing.
At this moment, Wang Xuan, who was in Luoyang City, suddenly opened his eyes because he could sense the weakening of the will of heaven. The range that Xuan Tian could control had increased from a radius of 300 kilometers to a radius of 800 kilometers, and the strength he could exert had also increased to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm!
Chapter Ninety-Six Refining the World
"Xuan Tian, at the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, combined with Xuan Yin's incarnation at the Transcendent Realm, can already unleash combat power comparable to that of the Perfect Transcendent Realm!" Wang Xuan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Taking advantage of the fact that Tianyi was currently battling the Zombie King from another world, he manipulated Xuan Tian to rampage through the power of the Sui and Tang world.
Currently, the Heavenly Will of the Sui and Tang world is engaged in a great battle with the Zombie King and has no energy to attend to him in the short term. If he cannot seize this opportunity to strengthen himself, no matter who wins the final victory between the Heavenly Will and the Zombie King, he will not be spared!
Outside Jinyang City, the otherworldly zombie king brandished his bronze coffin, striking the heavens and shattering space, revealing a large hole.
The Sui and Tang world is a low-level martial arts world, and the space is not very stable. It does not require the strength of a god or demon. A master at the Transcendent Realm can barely shatter the space.
Every time the Zombie King shatters a piece of the void, it inflicts damage on the very origin of the world, causing the heavens to weep.
Every living being in the Sui and Tang Dynasty world could feel a pain that penetrated deep into their soul—the pain of the world!
Wang Xuan watched this scene through his Xuan Yin avatar. With his current cultivation level at the Transcendent Realm, he could barely discern some things.
In his prime, that otherworldly zombie king was definitely at the Celestial Realm level. However, he was clearly severely injured before entering the Sui and Tang world, losing half of his body. Now, the strength he can exert is not comparable to that of a true Celestial Realm master; he can only be said to be infinitely close to the Celestial Realm.
The will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world is a true realm of Heaven and Man, but its power is too scattered, and its ability to gather together to deal with the Zombie King is limited.
After a fierce battle, the zombie king surprisingly gained the upper hand!
