Upon entering the Nether Acupoint, before Chen Hao even had the chance to glance at the Netherworld, he was immediately sent back out. To his astonishment, when he returned to the real world, he found himself back in that dream, in the forest he had seen before.

The moonlight was just as pale, the shadows of the trees just as shaking, and it was also the same broad-shouldered, tall figure from behind.

In an instant, Chen Hao was stunned!

Could this dream really be true? Chen Hao asked himself.

A gust of wind came by, rustling through the forest.

A thick scent of rotting blood assaulted his nostrils, identical to the one that had wafted in just moments before. Then, a powerful demonic energy overpowered the bloody stench in the air, filling the entire forest.

Chen Hao's expression turned vigilant in an instant!

At that moment, a hand suddenly clapped onto his shoulder.

After an involuntary shiver, Chen Hao turned around to see the somewhat melancholic Zhao Chong standing behind him.

"How did you get here?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.

"The disturbance was so obvious that the whole Netherworld felt it, of course I had to come and see!" explained Zhao Chong. Immediately after, his expression turned even more sullen upon seeing the silhouette not too far off.

"It's him!" Zhao Chong exclaimed, his usual composure surprisingly mismatched with the shock showing on his face.

"Do you know him?" Chen Hao asked, looking at Zhao Chong with curiosity.

"Roar!" Just then, an earth-shattering roar erupted, shaking the forest.

Although Chen Hao had experienced the same scene in his dream, much like in the dream, he was still frightened enough to let out a sharp scream.

As he involuntarily turned his panicked gaze forward, the mysterious man exuding demonic aura turned his head as well.

Everything was exactly as it had happened in the dream: the man had a ferocious face with eyes glowing a sinister red, and a pair of long, sharp fangs gleaming with a chilling light!

"A zombie!" Chen Hao cried out.

"This is no ordinary zombie," said Zhao Chong, his face now returning to its usual calm composure.

"Roar!" The zombie's roar sounded again, louder this time, causing the nearly withered leaves on the nearby trees to fall in droves.

The roar still echoed among the falling leaves of the forest when the zombie, turning its attention to Chen Hao and Zhao Chong, raised its head and sniffed in their direction. Suddenly, the ferocity in its visage grew, and its blood-red, horrifying eyes glared angrily at Chen Hao.

"Aaargh!" The zombie howled furiously, its gaping maw opening wide as it lunged towards Chen Hao like a terrifying beast.

"Why does it become so enraged after smelling your scent?" Zhao Chong urgently asked as he grabbed Chen Hao's shoulder and instantly moved both of them to the top of a tree. Once settled on the treetop, Zhao Chong continued, "It hasn't shown itself in over a thousand years; could it be that your ancestor sealed it away? That's why it became so angry after smelling the blood on you."

No sooner had Zhao Chong spoken than he and Chen Hao instantly moved to the ground below. The duo had just left the treetop when suddenly, with a whoosh, the zombie lunged from underneath the tree, bursting through the layers of branches and leaves.

Upon landing, seeing the zombie attack once more, Chen Hao suddenly shrugged off the arm Zhao Chong had clamped onto his left shoulder and stepped forward to meet the high-speed zombie head-on.

Once again, Chen Hao felt the tremor of the rhinoceros horn pendant he wore. Heeding Zhao Chong's conjecture, Chen Hao finally understood the pendant's purpose: it had brought him here to eliminate the zombie, lest there be endless trouble!

As for why this zombie had emerged after a thousand years to break free from its seal, Chen Hao surmised it had something to do with Wang Chuan activating the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation. Although the formation had not been activated completely, it must've reduced some of the seal's strength, and creatures like this zombie, filled with Yin Qi, demonic force, or deep spiritual power, could use this opportunity to break through the seal.

Chen Hao thought to himself, "If our ancestors could seal this zombie a thousand years ago, then I, Chen Hao, can too! Today, I will not only seal it but also destroy it!"

In a flash, countless eyes glowing with a purple light appeared in the air.

At the moment the zombie's claws neared Chen Hao's neck, the hundreds of purple eyes floating in the air around Chen Hao turned into hundreds of purple vortexes!

Seeing this, the zombie quickly withdrew, retreating more than a hundred meters away like lightning.

"Awooo!" the zombie let out another earth-shattering roar.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao's mouth curved into a determined smile, "As a descendant of the Chen family, today I plan not just to seal you but to eliminate you!"

At that moment, Chen Hao clearly felt the yang energy within him surge— the rhino horn was transferring yang energy power into his body.

Hearing Chen Hao say this, Zhao Chong's face darkened, full of worry and bitterness.

Just then, a black shadow appeared before Chen Hao, followed by the familiar figure of Ye Yuqiao.

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao was very surprised, "How did you use the Nether King's Power to come here? Don't worry, I'll be alright!"

Ye Yuqiao did not turn to look at Chen Hao.

In the faint wind, Chen Hao thought he saw Ye Yuqiao's body shaking.

"Yuqiao, what's wrong?"

"Awooo!" The zombie's angry howl intensified into a thunderous roar.

Seeing the zombie attacking once more, Chen Hao's brow furrowed; he had no time to inquire about Ye Yuqiao anymore but took a big step to get in front of her, then shouted at the oncoming zombie: "There is no escape from heaven and earth!"

Suddenly, the phrase "There is no escape from heaven and earth" appeared in the air, the six golden characters shining brightly.

When the zombie lunged forward, soaring two meters high in front of Chen Hao, those two golden characters surrounded it.

With a "bang", the zombie rudely shouldered the character "heaven." Just once, Chen Hao saw the character "heaven" bend.

And with another "bang", the character "heaven" seemed to split across the middle.

Chen Hao stomped his foot on the ground, channeling yang energy into the six golden characters.

Quickly, the character "heaven" straightened up again.

"Agh!" Chen Hao gritted his teeth and persevered, forcefully trying to compress the six characters inward in an attempt to destroy the zombie.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The zombie kept slamming against the six golden characters that trapped it.

A minute passed by, and feeling that the yang energy within him was nearly exhausted and barely able to hold on, Chen Hao had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Evil-Banishing Moon Sword, unsheathe!"

Quickly, the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword flew out from Ye Yuqiao, suddenly expanding to its original size and hovering in front of Chen Hao.

"When I call back the spell, remember to stab towards that zombie!"

The Evil-Banishing Moon Sword in front of him shook, as if nodding.

"Get ready!" Chen Hao cried out, then he withdrew the yang energy invested in the six characters of "There is no escape from heaven and earth."

"Whoosh whoosh" the raging yang energy dispersed—the zombie broke through the six golden characters.

At that moment, the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword stabbed towards the zombie.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure swiftly moved past Chen Hao, intercepting the Evil-Banishing Moon Sword before it could stab the zombie.

Chen Hao was stunned...
