As the Undead King consumed the black fog, his aura became stronger and more commanding, with his hundred-zhang stature shrouded in divine might, as if he were transforming into a deity seated high above the nine heavens.

People speculated about the origins of the ten Undead Kings, little knowing that they were born in a stone cavern, with the black fog as their nurturing source!

This black fog was the maternal body for the Undead Kings, who, upon their birth, began consuming the black fog. As long as they could consume the fog that birthed them, the ten Undead Kings could transform into Land Gods!

However, before the Undead Kings could transform into Land Gods, they began to yearn for the world outside. Thus, all ten Undead Kings emerged, intending to conquer the entire world!

Yet, the ultimate martial power in the world was formidable, and the appearance of the Undead Kings sent panic throughout the lands. A host of the strongest warriors arrived one after another to suppress this scourge!

The arrival of these warriors made the ten Undead Kings feel threatened, realizing they had erred in revealing themselves too soon!

But, when the ten Undead Kings wished to return to the stone cavern, they found the way back had been cut off!

So the undead army retreated from the city and lay dormant outside Luoshi City until the stone cavern was about to open. That was when they began to fiercely attack the city!

Now, the strongest of the Undead Kings retread the stone cavern and saw the source that nurtured them, naturally spiraling into ecstasy.

The energy contained within a region's worth of black fog could promote an Undead King to the rank of a Land God!

However, having consumed the whole undead army, the strongest Undead King had already ascended to the Land God Realm, becoming one of those lofty immortals with supreme combat power!

With such a terrible calamity now consuming the black fog from all directions, to what realm might it ascend?

"The hundred-zhang Undead King has just consumed boundless black fog, and now it has found another expanse to consume. Just how much black fog is in this stone cavern? If the Undead King consumes all of this black fog, to what realm would it grow?"

Ye Chen, Yalina, and the other five strongest followed in the wake of the Undead King, and upon seeing this disaster absorbing external forces to strengthen itself, their expressions turned extremely grave.

The seven strongest had yet to fathom the origin of the Undead King, unaware that this black fog was its maternal source.

But these mighty beings all sensed the ominous portents!

"The hundred-zhang Undead King is a Land God. After devouring these evil forces, how powerful might it ultimately become?"

The hundred-zhang Undead King could wipe out the strongest with its peak Land God combat power, and now it was growing stronger - its aura becoming increasingly terrifying. Such a situation would even horrify the martially strong!

These powerful individuals had come to the stone cavern to snatch the prize from the jaws of the Undead King, to pluck chestnuts out of the fire, yet seeing this turn of events, they instantly realized that this was far more dangerous than taking chestnuts from the fire!

"The hundred-zhang Undead King has consumed boundless black fog; it won't ascend to the Other Shore Realm, will it?" blurted out a trembling Duke of the Blood Clan.

Above the Land Gods lies the Other Shore!

If Land Gods were like true dragons amongst men, capable of overwhelming the world unbeatable by any, then the Great Venerables of the Other Shore were the strongest deities, absolute lords over heaven and earth!

However, where Land Gods' traces could still be seen, the Great Venerables of the Other Shore were rarely witnessed. Such beings defied the heavens, and their numbers were exceedingly few!

"What lured us here lies deep within the stone cavern. We can't keep following the Undead King. Otherwise, once it achieves its ultimate form, it will turn and annihilate us!" said the leader from the party of four, the pinnacle of the Nine Dragons.

"What do we do, then? Retreat?" growled the giant bear warrior with dissatisfaction.

"Not retreat, but breakthrough!" the pinnacle Nine Dragons spoke with gravity. "While the Undead King is consuming the black fog's power, we should approach silently, surpassing the steps of the hundred-zhang Undead King, to reach the depths of the stone cavern's vault before it!"

"Is this method feasible?"

The hundred-zhang Undead King stood like a natural barrier before the group of the strongest, blocking their path forward. How could they possibly get past?

"We have to make it work; it's our only choice. Otherwise, we'll all perish once the Undead King's power is complete!" There was a hint of madness in the pinnacle Nine Dragons' expression.

"Then let's take our chances. If we can't succeed, we'll immediately withdraw from the stone cavern!" declared the Duke of the Blood Clan.

"Good!" The other supremes agreed.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Several sounds of breaking air rose as the four supreme beings dashed forth, attempting to pass by the corpse king and be the first to penetrate into the deepest part of the cave.

The hundred-zhang corpse king frantically swallowed black fog while the four supremes launched their silent attacks. Ye Chen, Yalina, and Qianyue Bing exchanged looks, momentarily taken aback.

"Should we also take a risk and see if we can break through?" Qianyue Bing suddenly said.

"Are we going to court death just because they are?" Ye Chen said.

The hundred-zhang corpse king was unfathomably terrifying, and even now, as it devoured the black fog without distraction, Ye Chen had little faith that the four could break through.

"How do you know they're going to their deaths?" Qianyue Bing said. "Those people harbor ill intentions toward us. If they manage to chance upon an opportunity first and ascend to the status of Land Gods, then I'm in for trouble!"

"Yalina, aren't you worried at all?" Qianyue Bing turned to Yalina and asked.

"What's the use of worrying? Let's wait and see. My views are in line with Ye Chen's; I don't think they'll succeed in breaking through the encirclement!" Yalina said calmly.

The hundred-zhang corpse king was exceptionally terrifying, possessing the combat power of high-end immortals and the unpredictable abilities of spirits.

Yalina followed behind, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and snatch victory. Since the situation had yet to descend into chaos, she naturally wouldn't make a rash move.

"Boom, boom, boom—" The roars of the corpse king shook the cave.

The fools among the supremes thought to surpass the corpse king, sneaking past while it was preoccupied with swallowing the black fog, but ultimately they were discovered.

"We've been discovered!"

The mad roars of the corpse king struck the four supremes like a thunderbolt, causing their limbs to go cold and their bodies to stiffen.

"Foolish humans, I spared you not to devour you, but so you could witness a miracle, the birth of a magnificent Zombie Lord!"

The hundred-zhang corpse king was ingesting black fog when the four supremes stealthily launched their attack, disturbing the corpse king in the act and igniting its rage.

"I granted you a moment's reprieve, yet you dare steal my treasures, truly a crime deserving of death a thousand times over!"

"I will kill you, kill you all!"

The hundred-zhang corpse king had emerged in this cave, which it now regarded as its home; how could it not be furious with intruders?

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A sweep of the corpse king's long arm, strengthened by the absorbed black fog, was immeasurably powerful, as if capable of sweeping across the heavens and earth!

"Blood Wing Skyspan!" The Blood Clan duke, his mind overwhelmed with noble blood, executed a Supreme Secret Skill, attempting to escape from the invincible corpse king.

"Giant Bear Trample!" The giant bear warrior swelled in size, becoming a berserk behemoth, stirring up boundless terror and scampering away.

"Life and Death Grinding Disc!" The warrior from Nine Dragons Peak was also desperate, his palm enlarging infinitely, permeated with a horrific aura, attempting to withstand a blow from the corpse king and use the force to escape its strike range.

"Limitless Divine Seal!" The fourth supreme made hand seals, employing a supreme defensive technique.

The hundred-zhang corpse king was boundlessly terrifying; its arm swept with divine might, forcing the supremes to abandon any wishful thinking and focus solely on unleashing their strongest powers to flee for their lives.
