Volume 13, Chapter 826 – Impossible, Just How Strong Are You?

“Alliance Leader, because that Demon openly declared that it would slaughter all cultivators who have reached the Divine Realm or higher, the entire cultivation world is now in a state of panic. Many heads of major sects have come to us for help, hoping that you will make a move soon to deal with that specter.”

Early in the morning, during the Alliance meeting, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance reported to Wei Zhuo.

“Alliance Leader, I also believe it would be best if you act early. The longer this drags on, the more complications may arise.”

“That’s right! The Demon’s strength is terrifying. If we wait until it makes the first move, what hope do any of us have? You can’t possibly protect everyone personally, can you?”

“Alliance Leader, with thirteen Immortal Steles bonded to you, if we wait until it comes knocking, and your Immortal Might is activated, even if you can destroy the specter, the entire Immortal Alliance headquarters, perhaps even the whole Zundao City, may be caught in the aftermath.”

The elders below spoke one after another, urging him urgently. The Immortal Alliance’s main headquarters was located in Zundao City.

Wei Zhuo considered briefly and found their arguments to be reasonable. He slammed his palm down on the armrest and declared, “Everyone, rest assured. This Alliance Leader will set out immediately and let that Demon witness the might of thirteen Immortal Steles bonded to me!”

“No need. This General has come personally to be taught.”

A rough voice interrupted.

Before the voice had even finished, the terrifying Zombie General had already appeared inside the Alliance’s council hall. His speed was so great that faint ripples of space trailed behind him.

“Whoa!”

Seeing this, the gathered elders turned pale with fear and stumbled backward.

“You are the leader of those invading fiendish specters?”

Wei Zhuo asked with confidence, bolstered by the thirteen Immortal Steles.

“That’s right. I am this General.”

The Zombie General replied arrogantly, then added, “You are the so-called Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance? Good, you’ve got some strength. You’ll make a decent errand boy.”

“Errand boy? What do you mean by that?”

Wei Zhuo asked, frowning in confusion.

“This General doesn’t have time to linger here. After I leave, someone needs to stay behind and maintain order on Kaiyuan Planet. That way, my ghost clan subordinates can eat, drink, and grow in peace.”

The Fiendish Specter General made no effort to hide his true intentions.

“You want to occupy Kaiyuan Planet?”

Wei Zhuo’s expression darkened.

“Of course. Did you really think we’d pass up such a fat piece of meat?”

The Zombie General sneered.

Qi Huang let out a cold snort at this point. “This is my chosen garden plot. You dare covet it? Then you’ll become fertilizer.”

“Daydreaming! Kaiyuan Planet has always had only one ruler, and that’s the Immortal Alliance! And you want me to be your errand boy? You must’ve drunk pig’s blood and let it rot your brain.”

Wei Zhuo mocked recklessly, oblivious to his impending doom.

“The ignorant know no fear.”

The Zombie General took a step forward.

CRACK—!

The sound rang out, crisp and sharp.

Everyone turned to the source, expecting the granite floor to have cracked, but instead, it was the very space beneath the General’s foot that shattered.

As the space broke apart, waves of spatial distortion spread outward in all directions. At first glance, they looked like gentle ripples, but their speed and power were terrifying.

PSSHH… PSSHH…

Wherever the spatial waves touched, bodies exploded like overripe fruit. None could withstand it. Dozens of elders were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving only scattered life souls drifting in the air.

The spatial shockwaves didn’t stop; they surged toward the walls of the hall.

BOOM!

The grand council hall, which once stood like a majestic fortress, collapsed instantly as if it were a sandcastle at the tide’s edge. In the blink of an eye, it was reduced to rubble.

“You’re courting death!”

Wei Zhuo roared, unleashing his sword and charging at the Fiendish Specter General with all his might. His footwork was mysterious and fluid, his figure flitting like a dragonfly skimming water. Not only was he elusive, but his speed was astonishing.

The General sneered with disdain. His body vanished like a ghost.

When he reappeared, his right hand was already gripping Wei Zhuo’s throat as effortlessly as catching a chick.

“This… this is impossible! You… just how strong are you?”

Wei Zhuo struggled, unable to believe what was happening.

“Strong enough for you to only look up to.”

The Fiendish Specter General replied with contempt.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself! I have thirteen Immortal Steles bonded to me! No matter who you are, if you dare attack me, you’ll be pulverized!”

Wei Zhuo declared, brimming with confidence.

At that moment, the thirteen Immortal Steles on Kaiyuan Planet sensed that Wei Zhuo was in danger and activated simultaneously.

Thirteen enormous waves of Immortal Might burst skyward from different regions of Kaiyuan Planet, then surged toward the Immortal Alliance headquarters with unstoppable momentum. The sheer power scattered all clouds across the planet’s surface, and the earth trembled violently.

Within a few breaths, the thirteen streams of Immortal Might converged above the headquarters, merging like rivers into the sea.

CRACK… CRACK… CRACK…

The clear, crisp sounds of shattering echoed through the heavens.

The citizens of Zundao City were immediately crushed to their knees by the pressure. Those few powerful enough to resist barely lifted their heads to see the sky splitting open, then collapsing. Countless fragments of space shattered and fell, severing pavilions and towers it looked like doomsday had come.

“Help! Somebody help!”

Everyone in Zundao City cried out in despair, shouting for their lives as they struggled helplessly.

“Sigh… This is exactly what they mean by ‘when immortals fight, mortals suffer’.”

Qi Huang let out a soft sigh, then vanished from sight. After all, hearts are made of flesh. She couldn’t just watch this unfold coldly. Besides, saving these people would gain her fame, so even more reason to act.

A few breaths later, Qi Huang arrived in Zundao City. She unleashed her powerful Divine Sense, forming a protective dome over the entire city. At the same time, she called out with her True Qi, “Fear not, everyone. I am Zhong Zhen of the Lingxi Sect. With me here, you’ll be fine.”

The crushing pressure vanished, and the citizens slowly lifted their heads. In the sky above, they saw Qi Huang “struggling” to hold back the terrifying pressure and spatial shards.

“Who is that Immortal Fairy? If not for her, Zundao City would be doomed!”

“She said her name is Zhong Zhen of the Lingxi Sect.”

“Zhong Zhen? That name sounds familiar… I’ve heard it somewhere.”

“She’s that newly descended immortal from Lingxi Sect!”

“I remember now! It’s her!”

“Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!”

The citizens below knelt and bowed deeply.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the thirteen Immortal Steles’ power had fully gathered. Like a furious river, it rushed down toward the Immortal Alliance headquarters. As it passed, space itself shattered like fragile paper, forming a vast spatial rift. A deep black chasm that seemed to divide heaven and earth.

Qi Huang was visibly shocked. She had underestimated the power of those thirteen steles. Combined, their might was equivalent to a full-powered strike from an early-stage Human Immortal.

‘But… still not enough. I doubt they can even scratch a single strand of that Demon’s hair.’

Qi Huang shook her head.

The Zombie General possessed mid Human-stage Demon power, equivalent to a mid-stage Human Immortal, far beyond what an early-stage attack could threaten.

Inside the shattered council hall, the General didn’t dodge. He stood unmoving, facing the thirteen Immortal Steles’ combined assault head-on.

BOOM!

The devastating Immortal Might smashed down, rupturing the earth beneath the General. Soil blasted into the sky, forming a furious shockwave that tore through everything in its path. Deep cracks radiated outward. The entire Zundao City shook. Countless buildings tottered on the brink of collapse.

Qi Huang quickly shrank her Divine Sense shield to enclose the Immortal Alliance headquarters, trying to contain the blast and minimize damage.

The earth-shattering shockwave, like a wild beast, slammed into the Divine Sense shield and snarled viciously, struggling to escape, but it could not break free.

Gradually, calm returned to the world.

People peeked out in terror, unsure of what had just happened.

The Immortal Alliance headquarters had been completely leveled.

Yet the Zombie General still floated there, tall and commanding. In his hand, he still held Wei Zhuo by the throat. There wasn’t a drop of blood on him, not even a single hair out of place.

“This is what you relied on?”

The General sneered.

“This… this can’t… can’t be… just how strong… are you?”

Wei Zhuo, covered in dust and rubble, finally revealed true terror on his face.

“You’ll find out soon.”

The General finished speaking and lowered his head, biting down on Wei Zhuo’s throat.

“AHHHHH!”

Wei Zhuo screamed in agony. His skin turned black, and dense waves of Yin energy poured from his pores. His eyes glimmered faintly with red, resentful light.

The struggle quickly ended. His chest stopped moving. Pale corpse spots began appearing on his skin. These rapidly shifted color from purplish-blue to iron-black, to bronze, to silver-white, and finally to golden yellow, before sinking back into the flesh.

After that, the pallor gradually faded. While he was still colorless, he now resembled someone recovering from a serious illness. If not for his sharp zombie fangs and claws, one might mistake him for the living.

Only then did the Zombie General withdraw his fangs and nod in satisfaction.

“Master!”

Wei Zhuo bowed his head respectfully.

“Good. From now on, you’ll stay behind and guard Kaiyuan Planet for me. Protect the ghost clan. Understand?”

The General issued his command.

“Understood!”

Wei Zhuo accepted the order reverently.

“Heh. Thirteen Immortal Steles… now guarding a zombie. How ironic.”

The Zombie General mocked, then vanished.

Qi Huang had just withdrawn her Divine Sense shield when she saw the General flying out of the ruins.
