Chapter 1225 The Underworld Army



Ji Xingyao was stunned, then her eyes brightened. “You guys still remember the purpose of our trip? That heaven-defying fortune that has been sealed for ages is in there!”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Toady rubbed his palms together in anticipation.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, was indifferent.

Since entering the Underworld River Forbidden Zone, he had already gained quite a few astonishing fortunes.

First, he had refined a Blood God Follower and gained a strand of life soul source, which had in turn raised his spirit to the next level.

Then, in the Tomb World, he had obtained six clusters of Alpha Dao Fire, including the All-Wonder Dao Fire, as well as more than a dozen Origin Dao Fire.

Later, in the Cave of Divine Underworld, he had met with Mo Yang on the green mountain secret realm and fought three thousand battles in the Thundering Violet Bamboo Forest, causing his martial cultivation to upgrade many times.

Moreover, he also obtained No Escape, a sword move left behind by Mo Yang!

Aside from all this, he had harvested many resources including King-grade herbs and aeth materials.

Even if Lin Xun had to leave this realm now, he wouldn’t have any regrets at all.

And as far as he knew, the more heaven-defying a fortune, the more terrifying the danger around it.

Just like this Palace of Divine Underworld that had long been eyed by many other cultivators, how could the fortune that had been sealed within for ages be something that can be obtained easily?

However, Lin Xun also had no objection, knowing that Toady, Ji Xingyao, and Mo Tianhe wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

Since that was the case, he might as well accompany them.

More importantly, he knew Toady still held a grudge and wanted to find Wang Xuanyu of the Great One Sect to settle the score.

Wang Xuanyu definitely wouldn’t miss this great fortune in the Palace of Divine Underworld!

“Let’s go!”

The four got moving.

In the cold and gloomy dark world, the mountains, rocks, grass, and trees all displayed a strange dark color, making the atmosphere depressing.

Moreover, the further they traveled, the stronger that depressing atmosphere became, as if there was something strange and uncertain creeping in the darkness.

The group was fully on alert.

“Run, ahhhh!!”

Suddenly, a shrieking howl echoed in the distance, permeated with panic and unease.

“F*ck! What the hell is this thing?!”

“Run, fast!”

In a burst of furious shouts, the ground began to rumble, as if a grand army was galloping out from the darkness.

Lin Xun’s group stopped in their tracks.

“Is this the army of the Underworld?” someone yelled.

By this time, Lin Xun’s group had also seen many streaks of light appear in the darkness. They were the fast fleeing cultivators, all of whom looked terrified.

Behind them was an army that charged forward like a tidal wave!

It was an army of bloody skeletons riding skeleton birds and beasts with skeletal weapons in their hands. Shrouded in black mist, they looked like the legendary soldiers of the underworld!

Coming in thousands upon thousands, they packed the earth and blotted out the horizon.

The scene was hair-raising. It was like gates of hell had opened, and devils, monsters, and underworld soldiers waiting behind had rushed out all at once.

Among the escaping cultivators, there was no lack of Supreme Kings, and there were even quite a few heirs from ancient dao lineages.

But now, they were all fleeing for their lives!

“Holy shit!” Toady cursed as his expression drastically changed in shock.

“Run!”

Without a second thought, the four made a 180 turn and ran.

The skeletal army was no different from waves of stomping beasts. Any cultivator caught up in it would definitely meet with an unsightly result.

Deafening noises boomed in the distance from the fast charging black mist that completely covered heaven and earth.

With his powerful spirit sense as he fled, Lin Xun could instantly feel that the skeletal cavalry, birds, beasts, and any other being in the Underworld Army were filled with a terrifying aura of death.

Poof!

Blood splattered as a huge crimson lark that was fleeing was viciously pierced by a white bone spear. The instant it fell on the ground, it was tragically trampled into pieces.

“Ahhhh!”

Not far away, a group of cultivators screamed miserably as a group of ferocious skeletal birds pounced down at them, baring sharp claws entwined with a ghastly aura.

The group of over a dozen cultivators was rapidly wiped out, their blood pouring like waterfalls.

The scene was bloody and horrifying.

“Growlll!”

A roar echoed in the sky as a skeletal dragon that was thousands of feet long took to the air.

The hellish dragon was so huge that it resembled a mountain range, emitting a deathly aura that wholly enveloped the sky in its wake.

Its roar alone made many cultivators shiver and their souls ache. As they coughed up blood, the charging skeleton army had approached and mercilessly rammed them to death!

Boom!

The skeletal dragon spewed out blue fire like a waterfall that covered an extremely wide area, dissolving even the air.

Several cultivators failed to dodge and melted away like candles. Even their primordial spirits were incinerated!

“Gather at the Palace of Divine Underworld!” Lin Xun hurriedly transmitted to the other three with a grave expression.

The group had been quick to run, but only to realize that there were skeleton armies in every other direction as well.

Boom!

As soon as Lin Xun finished transmitting his voice, he was surrounded by over a dozen skeleton cavalry before being drowned in the skeleton army that followed.

From a bird’s eye view, the entire area had been packed with waves upon waves of skeletons, and the cultivators were like small, insignificant bubbles among them.

Lin Xun wasn\'t even sure if the other three had heard his message, but the danger he was in didn’t allow him to dwell on it!

The stench of blood filled the air, the sounds of killing shook the sky, and everywhere was tragic screams and shouts.

Even Supreme Kings were feeble and powerless after being caught up in this boundless army.

……

At the end of the dark world, there was an ancient site of broken walls.

In the ruins, a black palace stood, emitting a pale aura. It looked like the embodiment of darkness, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

At the moment, the palace gate was sealed shut.

Not very far away, there were dozens of figures scattered in groups of three to five.

Standing at the center was a young man with sharp brows in a black dao robe.

He had his back facing the dark palace as he gazed at the endless skeleton army in the distance, his eyes flashing with an intimidating gleam.

Looking closely, one could see a pair of arcane symbols in his pupils, one black and one white like the yin and yang fish, looking extremely mystical.

This person was Wang Xuanyu.

“Gentlemen, with the Underworld Army sweeping the border, I’m afraid that no one else apart from us will be able to reach this place anymore,” he announced in a clear voice with a smile.

Hearing this, the other cultivators around revealed strange expressions, and they looked at Wang Xuanyu somewhat apprehensively.

Earlier, the Palace of Divine Underworld had appeared, triggering a heavenly anomaly.

And appearing along with it was the grand skeleton army!

At that time, they had all clearly seen Wang Xuanyu take out a pitch-black beast horn that then emitted a deep and muddy beast sound.

It had been under the echo of the horn that the Underworld Army had, as if under control, spread out in all directions!

This was simply unimaginable.

Who actually dared to believe that Wang Xuanyu only relied on a beast horn to maneuver a huge skeleton army?

This was why everyone was apprehensive of him.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, aren’t you a bit too cruel?” Someone frowned and snorted coldly.

The spreading of the army was like a flood of beasts, and it was bound to deal a heavy blow to the cultivators scattering throughout the region.

And all of this had something to do with Wang Xuanyu.

“Gentlemen, isn’t it a good thing to have fewer competitors? Speaking of which, you guys should be grateful to me. After all, I helped you eliminate quite a few rivals.” Wang Xuanyu laughed lightly, sweeping his gaze over the cultivators with an unperturbed expression.

Just like him, the majority of these cultivators came from ancient dao lineages. They all possessed astonishing battle prowess, and there were quite a few ancient-era eccentric geniuses among them.

When the gate to the Palace of Divine Underworld opened, these cultivators would become his competitors.

However, Wang Xuanyu was not afraid!

He paid them no more attention and directed his gaze towards the dark palace in the middle of the ruins, seemingly to ponder something. “The Palace of Divine Underworld… I wonder if that legendary jar of Divine Underworld True Blood truly exists…”

The other cultivators seemed to have their own thoughts as well.

……

Two hours later, the sea of skeletons disappeared into the vast darkness.

The atmosphere was once again silent, only the stench of blood permeating the air stood proof for the horrible scene that had just happened. It was unknown how many people had fallen in this calamity.

Lin Xun was all alone as he stood on a large pit of corpses, looking around.

Although he survived, he was miserable, covered in blood and injuries.

“This place is really treacherous…” Lin Xun sighed as his injuries healed and his physical strength rapidly recovered with the replenishment of King-grade herbs.

He had been separated from Toady, Ji Xingyao, and Mo Tianhe.

He reckoned that with their fighting ability, these three wouldn’t be in fatal danger.

A long time later, Lin Xun heaved a long sigh upon completely recovering. Without much thought, he started rushing forward.

Along the way, he encountered scattered cultivators, all of whom looked tragic and heavily injured. However, there was no sign of his three companions.

“Wang Xuanyu, you shall die a wretched death!” a spiteful scream suddenly rang out.

Lin Xun immediately looked in that direction and saw a woman lying in a pool of blood. Her injuries were extreme as she was disemboweled and her neck was fractured. She was already on her final breath.

There was endless unwillingness and resentment on her face. When she noticed Lin Xun, she opened her lips and said with difficulty, “This catastrophe…was…triggered…by Wang Xuanyu…”

She died before she could finish what she wanted to say, her expression still exuding deep hatred.

Lin Xun’s eyes shrank. What ability does Wang Xuanyu have to be able to trigger such a catastrophe?

After a moment of silence, Lin Xun took a deep breath and continued forward. In the distant darkness, a ruin could vaguely be seen…
