Chapter 3556: Zombie Roadblock

"The final battle?"

Ye Liuyun gently shook his head, lifted his gaze to the dense Demon Qi ahead, and felt that the deep part of the mountain range was still not far away, estimating that the journey would not be smooth.

So he first put Qiong Qi away, released the Metal Puppet again, and proceeded forward with it.

Sure enough, after they had walked for more than half a day, Ye Liuyun keenly sensed that the Yin Qi ahead was extremely dense, and a rotting corpse odor also drifted in.

"If it were only Yin Souls, it would be simple; I'm afraid there are other dark, sinister things!"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, halted, summoned Zhuge Feiyu for assistance, having them swing the Soul Barrier to absorb some Yin Souls and gauge the situation. Qiong Qi was also released again to set up a Defense Array.

Zhuge Feiyu immediately swung the Soul Barrier toward the dense Yin Qi area, drawing Yin Souls.

Within that thick Yin Qi, countless Yin Soul howls instantly echoed.

"So many?" Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu were startled by the sound.

They simply hadn't estimated the number of Yin Souls, but were not worried that the Soul Barrier couldn't hold so many. The Soul Barrier already linked to the Underworld, able to draw the Yin Souls directly into it.

Immediately, gusts of Yin Wind slammed into them, and powerful Yin Souls surged forward one after another.

Ye Liuyun instantly emitted the aura of the Lord of the Underworld, intimidating those Yin Souls. The weaker Yin Souls were shaken by his aura and were instantly sucked into the Hundred‑Refined Soul Barrier.

The stronger ones, still daring to challenge Ye Liuyun's status, charged at him and Zhuge Feiyu. Ye Liuyun immediately unleashed Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire, instantly slaying several; the rest promptly submitted, bowing in reverence before being drawn into the Soul Barrier by Zhuge Feiyu.

Zhuge Feiyu then immediately inquired about the situation ahead from a few Yin Souls.

"According to the Yin Souls, the deepest part of the mountain houses a Demon Lord suppressing a monk! In the area where Yin Souls gather ahead, there are many zombies, and their realms are all high—above the Seventh Realm of Taixu."

Zhuge Feiyu relayed all the gathered information to Ye Liuyun.

These Yin Souls are all Demon Race and Demon Beast. Ye Liuyun immediately asked Zhuge Feiyu, "Are those zombies also Demon Race and Demon Beast?"

Zhuge Feiyu quickly confirmed with the Yin Souls and replied, "Yes, they said the valley is filled entirely with demonic creatures, no other species."

"That's good. Then I have a way to deal with them!"

When Ye Liuyun heard the zombies were also demonic, the Sealing Demon Tablet could serve a great purpose, and together with his Buddha Light Power, Nether Ghost Fire, and Lightning Power, he could suppress those zombies.

Zhuge Feiyu this time didn't say they'd help Ye Liuyun: "Then be extra careful, call me if you need. After you reach the Taixu World, the Nether Realm will also be chaotic, with many powerful Yin Souls arriving. Asura is leading a Yin Soul army to eradicate them.

The Yin Souls collected here can be used to intimidate them—quite timely."

"Anything else? If you encounter problems, you don't have to shoulder them alone; you can tell me directly!" Ye Liuyun also told Zhuge Feiyu.

"Not all Yin Souls defy control. Only a few, insufficient to disrupt the Nether Realm. This minor issue we can handle; rest assured. If it truly threatens the safety of the Underworld, I will certainly notify you in advance!" Zhuge Feiyu explained.

"That's good!" Ye Liuyun was still very confident in Zhuge Feiyu's abilities.

"What realm are you in now, fighting opponents of the Great Void Ninth Level?" Zhuge Feiyu's realm was low, unable to discern Ye Liuyun's realm.

"I'm only at the Fourth Realm of Taixu, I just happen to have a method to restrain the Demon Race! If I were a Human Martial Cultivator, I certainly wouldn't be a match for so many people," Ye Liuyun explained.

"Seems the pressure in the Taixu World isn't small for you!" Zhuge Feiyu sighed.

Ye Liuyun agreed, "Indeed, we just arrived, have no background, and to develop we will definitely face considerable

pressure!"..

The two chatted idly; after all the Yin Souls were collected, Zhuge Feiyu immediately returned to the Underworld, presumably taking those Yin Souls to reinforce Asura.

Ye Liuyun didn't linger; after Zhuge Feiyu left, he released Xu Rong. Since there were Seventh and Eighth Realm zombies ahead, Xu Rong could also help. Ye Liuyun gave him a set of Seventh‑grade armor to boost his defense.

Lei Ming and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon were also released by Ye Liuyun; both wielded Ninth‑grade weapons, could emit the Technique, and could be useful at critical moments.

"You two stay behind me as the vanguard, use your weapons to disrupt, and the Technique to slay those zombies. Don't waste True Essence too early; there are many zombies ahead!"

Ye Liuyun gave them a command, shielding them behind him with the Guardian God Seal of the Buddha‑Demon Golden Body, and led the group forward. Qiong Qi stayed at the rear, ready to set up formations.

Soon after, Ye Liuyun spotted the first zombie, standing dazed in place. As Ye Liuyun's party approached, the zombie moved, let out a roar, and lunged at them.

However, it was a Seventh‑Realm zombie; Ye Liuyun charged straight in, cleaving it in two with a single slash. He himself was knocked back by the zombie's strike.

"The power of this zombie surpasses that of the Demon Race; you should treat it as an Eighth‑Realm Demon Race!"

Ye Liuyun immediately warned the others. This trial was essentially to help them gauge the zombie's strength.

The zombie's roar attracted others, and another Seventh‑Realm zombie charged in right away.

Ye Liuyun deployed the Guardian God Seal, attempting to slay it with Buddha Light and Nether Ghost Fire, which proved effective. The zombie hadn't even reached close before Buddha Light stripped its Demon Qi, and Nether Ghost Fire turned it to ash.

"Qiong Qi, set up the Defense Array!" Ye Liuyun instantly sent a Transmission Voice to Qiong Qi.

His Golden Pupil had already seen it; more zombies rushed here.

"Kill! Don't stray far from the Formation, conserve True Essence as much as possible; if you can't win, retreat into the Formation!"

Ye Liuyun ordered, and led the group into the slaughter.

His Demon Slaying Sword was imbued with Buddha Light and Nether Ghost Fire, making it easy to cleave the zombies. He also released the Sealing Demon Tablet again. Now he could handle Seventh‑Realm demonic zombies himself, albeit a bit slower.

The Metal Puppet also took one slash per zombie; after all, its realm was high and its weapon sharp. Xu Rong focused on slaying Seventh and Eighth‑Realm zombies.

Lei Ming and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon followed behind Ye Liuyun, using the Demon Sword and Thunder God Hammer in concert with him to draw the zombies' attention, allowing Ye Liuyun to kill more zombies.

But the number of zombies kept increasing, and their realms kept rising; the two soon began using the Technique to slay those zombies. Ye Liuyun led the group, fighting while retreating.
