Volume 13, Chapter 821 – I Am Your Ancestor (Part 5)

“Hahaha, Zhong Qin, Zhong Qin, are you stunned now? You can’t break through the spatial barrier, so what if your so-called ancestor is real? Can she even appear?”

Mo Long laughed louder as the Immortal Alliance stepped forward, his mockery growing wilder.

Zhong Qin looked around blankly, then bowed her head and pleaded humbly: “Fellow cultivators of the Immortal Families, who among you is willing to help Lingxi Sect break open the spatial barrier? I, Zhong Qin, am willing to grant any request.”

At her words, the eyes of many nearby cultivators lit up. After all, Zhong Qin was not only breathtakingly beautiful but also the Sect Leader of Lingxi Sect, and more importantly, she possessed immortal blood… an ideal Dao companion in every sense. Yet, remembering the earlier warning from the Immortal Alliance, the heat in their gazes gradually dimmed.

“It seems Heaven truly wants Lingxi Sect destroyed,” Mo Long said coldly. “Then today, I, Sect Master Mo, will settle all our old scores once and for all.”

“If you dare lay a hand on us, our ancestor Zhong Zhen will never let Yanyang Sect go,” Zhong Qin warned sharply.

At this, many of Yanyang Sect’s higher-ups and disciples revealed faint traces of fear.

“Wait until that so-called ancestor of yours breaks through the barrier, then we’ll talk! Otherwise, she’s nothing but shit!”

Mo Long’s insults grew even filthier.

“You dare to insult our sect’s immortal ancestor?” Zhong Qin’s eyes trembled with fury.

“I’ll insult her however I want. What can you do about it?” Mo Long laughed arrogantly, tilting his head back to curse at the sky. “Zhong Zhen, you cheap woman, where are you? Aren’t you supposed to be an immortal? Come out and let me see you! If you’re truly a bit pretty, maybe this sect master will take you as a concubine and spare Lingxi Sect!”

“Sect Leader, let’s fight them! Even if we die today, we’ll defend Lingxi Sect’s honor!”

The disciples of Lingxi Sect, driven to the edge of humiliation, prepared to fight to the death.

Just then, a deep male voice echoed through the heavens: “Hahaha! So this is the cultivation world of Kaiyuan Planet? Truly a sight that broadens this general’s horizons!”

Everyone was shocked. Following the voice, they saw that a man in leather armor had appeared in the square without anyone noticing.

The man was tall and broad-shouldered, his features rough, with a full beard. At first glance he looked human, but faint black mists of Yin energy visibly coiled around him, and his sharp zombie fangs gleamed openly under the light.

“A zombie? That’s a zombie!”

“Bold evil creature! To appear so brazenly in front of everyone, do you seek death?”

“These fools! They’re actually threatening that zombie. Don’t they see he’s no ordinary corpse? His skin may be pale, but he has no corpse spots. That’s a sign of a Flying Zombie or higher!”

“Flying Zombie? Heavens! Isn’t that equivalent to a cultivator at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm? Could the source of Yin energy from some great cursed land have awakened?”

Hundreds of thousands of spectators stared in dread at the demonic general before them.

Qi Huang remained calm. To her, that so-called demonic zombie general was barely worth noting. Her wife alone could crush him with a flick of her hand, let alone herself.

“It’s an evil spirit! Stay alert!” Zhong Qin commanded her disciples. As a sect master, she could tell from a glance that this zombie was terrifyingly strong.

Meanwhile, the people of Yanyang Sect stood frozen, unable to react.

“You cultivators are truly shameless,” the zombie general sneered. “You call us Ghost Clan ‘evil creatures’, yet behind closed doors your deeds are far filthier than ours. For the sake of your own gain, you even sell out your own kind. Do you really think you can stay pure in such a world? Let this general tell you the truth, those trash from the Immortal Alliance can’t stop the Ghost Clan’s army.”

His contemptuous tone cut through the air like a blade.

“This zombie sure speaks bluntly,” Qi Huang murmured from the shadows, unable to resist commenting.

“Pity,” Cheng Hongling replied softly. “If their target truly is you, we’re destined to be enemies.”

“Where did this evil creature come from? Daring to spew nonsense before hundreds of thousands of cultivators, does he really think we’re pushovers?”

An old man with white hair shouted angrily.

“That’s Sect Master Wu of the Jianjia Sect! His cultivation has reached late Divine Realm, and he wields the strongest shield in the cultivation world that nothing below late Heavenly Tribulation Realm can break it.”

Reαⅾ оո КαtRеаdingСаfe

“Yes, that shield is called the ‘Black Tortoise Shield’, a sect-protecting treasure. The tortoise shell embedded in it came from a late Heavenly Tribulation Realm old tortoise slain by their immortal ancestor.”

“Late Heavenly Tribulation Realm? No wonder he dares to challenge that monster!”

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

“Courting death!”

The zombie general raised his hand, and a terrifying spatial ripple spread outward like a tidal wave.

“You think you can kill me with just a wave of your hand? Who do you think you are? An immortal?”

Sect Master Wu sneered and summoned an ancient shield before him. Its surface was inlaid with intricate tortoise patterns, exuding an aura of indestructible stability, like an unbreakable city wall.

Qi Huang merely shook her head. She knew that any treasure of the lower realms was nothing but a toy before the power of space.

CRACK!

In the next instant, the Black Tortoise Shield shattered like glass. Sect Master Wu didn’t even have time to react… he and dozens of his disciples were torn to pieces by the spatial ripples. Blood exploded into mist, raining down in a crimson storm as chunks of flesh splattered the ground.

“How is that possible? That was the Black Tortoise Shield!”

Tens of thousands of cultivators watching trembled in terror. Many tried to flee, but their Divine Senses failed them, and they fell from the sky one after another.

“I told you. The Immortal Alliance can’t stop this general, and it certainly can’t save you.”

The zombie general’s voice dripped with disdain as he swept his gaze around.

The members of Yanyang Sect screamed, retreating frantically like terrified rats.

“Retreat! Retreat! That zombie isn’t something we can fight!”

Zhong Qin also shouted for her sect members to fall back immediately.

“How dare you disrespect the Immortal Alliance!”

Elder Zou of the Immortal Alliance finally exploded with rage, shouting furiously.

“Oh? And what exactly is the Immortal Alliance supposed to be? Don’t think your filthy little schemes are hidden from this general. You refused to help Jinshan Empire and even stopped Lingxi Sect from summoning their ancestor. Isn’t that because you wanted to use us Ghost Clan to ‘teach’ the cultivation world a lesson, so your influence would grow stronger?”

The zombie general mocked coldly.

“So that’s how it is! The Immortal Alliance truly is despicable!”

The people of Jinshan Empire were furious, their eyes blazing with anger.

“What nonsense are you spewing!”

Elder Zou shouted, his face burning with shame.

“Whether I’m speaking nonsense or not, you know perfectly well,” the zombie general sneered. “You’ve overestimated yourselves. With trash like you, this general could crush you all with a flick of his finger.”

He lifted his hand mockingly, pinching the air.

“Oh? Then this elder will see if you truly have the strength to defy immortal might!”

Elder Zou unsheathed his sword and charged fearlessly toward the zombie general.

‘Tsk, tsk… another one rushing to his death,’ Qi Huang commented dryly. To her, it was obvious that the zombie general was of Human-grade Demon, equivalent to a Human Immortal Realm. How could he possibly fear mere “immortal might”?

Sure enough, before Elder Zou even reached him, his vision blurred. The next moment, his neck was clutched in the zombie’s hand and—

CRACK!

“Why so fast?” Elder Zou managed to whisper in confusion before his head twisted at a grotesque angle, his body falling limp like a discarded sack.

Then, behind him, the Immortal Stele finally reacted. Immortal Might crashed down from the heavens, twisting the surrounding space like a raging waterfall that struck the zombie general head-on.

“Look! It’s Immortal Might! That creature dared to kill a member of an Immortal Family, he’s dead for sure!”

Hope returned to the cultivators’ faces.

“Immortal Might? Hah! This general will show you that not only the Immortal Alliance, but even your Immortal Stele cannot save you!”

The zombie general stood proudly beneath the sky, hands clasped behind his back, unmoving.

BOOM!

The overwhelming force of Immortal Might struck down, annihilating the entire square. A devastating shockwave swept through Lingxi Sect, leveling every building. The ground quaked violently; mountains collapsed, and the heavens trembled.

High above, the surviving cultivators spread their Divine Senses in panic, only to find the zombie general still floating in the same place, hands behind his back. Beneath his feet yawned a bottomless crater, yet not a speck of dust stained his body.

“How is that possible? Even Immortal Might can’t suppress him? The cultivation world is doomed!”

The crowd gaped in horror, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

“Quick! Help Lingxi Sect open the spatial rift! Only their immortal ancestor can save us now!”

Someone shouted desperately from the crowd.
