Chapter 1790: Subterranean Terror
Hot knife through butter!
That was the only term that could describe how powerful Xiang Shaoyun's attack was. The powerful headless zombie and horse were destroyed with one punch. That was an incredible demonstration of strength.
Xiang Shaoyun continued his advance. Many zombies appeared, all of them grabbing and biting at his vitals. However, they were ordinary zombies, so they were all burned into nothingness in a split second.
Even the stronger zombies were unable to stop Xiang Shaoyun. All of them were burned into nothingness. Getting slightly impatient, Xiang Shaoyun spat a clump of primal chaos flame toward the depths of the Wumo Pass. The flame turned into a fiery dragon, burning a large number of zombies into nothingness.
Suddenly, several ancient coffins flew over. Xiang Shaoyun was aware of the origin of these coffins. These were all the powerful aliens killed by Venerable Yuan Shi in the past. The Zombie God had collected all of them and turned them into powerful zombies.
The coffins advanced with great momentum, capable of destroying a lifeless planet by mere collision. Xiang Shaoyun did not bother to avoid these coffins. He unleashed several palm strikes, cracking the incoming coffins.
The zombies in the coffins flew out, sending thick death and corpse energy toward Xiang Shaoyun. However, the energy was completely ineffective against Xiang Shaoyun. Two of the zombies charged toward Xiang Shaoyun, intending to fight and break his primal chaos flame in melee range.
At this time, the power around Xiang Shaoyun changed abruptly. The primal chaos flame raged and lashed out at the two zombies. Of course, that was not enough to defeat those zombies. They had been refined for many years, granting them incomparably tough bodies. One ought to physically rend their bodies if one wanted to defeat them.
One of the zombies showed no fear of the flame and unleashed a terrifying punch that ordinary peak Gods would have no way of withstanding. It was no wonder why not even all those humans could face these zombies. These zombies were indeed powerful. However, they were now facing Xiang Shaoyun, someone stronger than them in terms of cultivation and physical flesh.
Boom!
With several punches from Xiang Shaoyun, several explosions rumbled out. When the dust settled, one could see that the zombies had all been blasted into smithereens. These were corpses, so after their bodies were destroyed, they could hardly regrow new bodies.
Initially, Xiang Shaoyun planned to burn away all the death and corpse energy. But after some thought, he transformed into his giant form, one that was so big his head seemed to reach the heavens. He opened his mouth and pulled all the death and corpse energy into his astral cosmos sea.
All the observers were stunned. Even Huang Tian was speechless. The death and corpse energy in the Wumo Pass was thick enough to erase all life. Even as a One Revolution expert, there was still enough of this energy to corrode Xiang Shaoyun to death.
Huang Tian wouldn't have suffered so much from some corpse poison otherwise. After all, he was a Five Revolutions expert. However, none of them knew that Xiang Shaoyun had also comprehended the profundity of primal inception. The primal inception power was the origin of all powers, capable of transforming and absorbing all energies, including death and corpse energies.
Not only was Xiang Shaoyun unharmed, but he even received a considerable boost in his cultivation. At Xiang Shaoyun's level, he needed a large amount of energy to grow. The death and corpse energy here had accumulated for tens of thousands of years. Thus, there was a lot of it. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many God Realm and Saint Realm zombies. This energy was enough to further strengthen Xiang Shaoyun.
Countless God Realm and Saint Realm zombies flew out, trying to stop Xiang Shaoyun from devouring their energy. At this time, Huang Tian moved. He had yet to return to his peak strength after his poison was removed. However, he was still capable of incredible might. With one stomp, eighty-one earth dragons soared into the sky and tore the zombies apart. In the past, only the Zombie God was a match for Huang Tian. With the Zombie God being kept busy, Huang Tian could fight without inhibitions.
"Today, I'll erase this place!" declared Huang Tian furiously.
He sent countless earth dragons toward the zombies, spreading devastation all around the Wumo Pass. Xiang Shaoyun was able to devour the energy in peace. But shortly after, he discovered that someone else was competing with him for the energy.
He looked at the ground with his divine dao eyes and saw an incredibly ancient coffin deep underground. That coffin was at the very center of all the death and corpse energy, and there even seemed to be slight traces of life undulations.
"What is this? Show yourself!" said Xiang Shaoyun as powerful beams shot out of his eyes toward the ancient coffin.
Rumble! Rumble!
The beams easily reached tens of thousands of meters below the ground. There, he encountered layer upon layer of defensive barriers. Not even his powerful eye beams could pierce through the barriers.
He put more strength into the beams. At the same time, he also stomped at the coffin with his massive leg. Countless primal chaos lightning bolts rained down from the sky, attempting to destroy the coffin.
It was at that moment that a voice rang out from the coffin, "Do you really want to destroy all of us?"
The voice seemed to be gender-neutral, but it also contained a certain charming effect. The voice was ethereal, and the coffin emanated an aura that was just as strong as the Zombie God's aura. Xiang Shaoyun was unable to fully stomp down on the coffin, stopped by an incorporeal force.
Xiang Shaoyun could feel that a terror was hidden in the coffin. He hurriedly said, "Stop this calamity, or I will drag you out and destroy you!"
"Young friend, why bother wasting your breath on it? Just kill our way down there," said Huang Tian solemnly when he sensed the ancient coffin.
He did not expect that there would still be another zombie as powerful as the Zombie God here. That placed an even heavier pressure on his shoulders.
"The dominion is in chaos, and the various races have risen to the challenge. We of the zombie race are merely occupying a small space to live in. Why do you insist on making things difficult for us?" asked the voice calmly.
"You are all dead. Dead things should return to the earth. Why are you coming back to spread calamity to the living? Die!" Huang Tian snorted coldly and gathered all his strength into his leg before unleashing an attack against the coffin.
But before the attack could reach the coffin, a terrifying force rebounded it.
