Overriding the Heaven

The current situation was indeed much worse than what Chu Yan had imagined.    

    

Because the Precious Appearance Kingdom had the Heaven's Edge Sect in charge, many of the situations could still be controlled.    

    

This could be seen from the fact that Heaven's Edge Sect only needed to send out disciples with Earth Origin Stage.    

    

However, once they reached the Realm, not only would they sometimes need Earth Origin Stage, even the masters of the celestial mood stage would have to suppress them in order to remove the corpses.    

    

Even so, sometimes, a single High Scholar wasn't enough. One needed to work together with two or three other High Scholars in order to solve the problem.    

    

Under normal circumstances, once the revived zombies were suppressed, everything within hundreds of miles of them would also be destroyed.    

    

If this zombie appeared in the desert mountains or the desert, even if the area of 100 miles was destroyed, it could still be considered acceptable. After all, the losses were limited.    

    

However, if they were to appear around the outskirts of a city or even a major city, then the losses would be unimaginable.    

    

Of all these, one of them was the one that gave him the most headache.    

    

The appearance of these zombies didn't seem to have any warning signs, nor was there any pattern.    

    

No one knew when or where they would emerge from.    

    

Because of this reason, whether it was mortals or cultivators, they could only passively defend.    

    

Usually, the zombies would gather together and form a certain scale, before they were discovered.    

    

At a time like this, the amount of power that he would have to pay if he were to hang and kill them would be far greater than what he would have to spend in the beginning.    

    

However, there was nothing he could do about it.    

    

This was because the entire continent had existed for countless years.    

    

Take the Yunao Kingdom as an example.    

    

The Yunao Kingdom was founded hundreds of years ago and passed down for thousands of years.    

    

However, these years, in front of the settling of the entire continent, could only be described as passing by in the blink of an eye.    

    

Before the Yunao Kingdom s, who knew how many empires and sects had appeared on this piece of land?    

    

This meant that there were countless creatures buried underground.    

    

These dead creatures could be resurrected in this zombie chaos and become a disaster.    

    

For example, the foot that Chu Yan was standing on right now, could even be the remains of someone deep within it.    

    

This corpse also had a chance of breaking out from the ground.    

    

The unluckiest person was in the midst of a beautiful dream when a withered hand extended from the ground under the bed and broke his throat. This kind of situation also existed.    

    

Just as Hua Muyan had told him.    

    

There were a few times where cultivators and ordinary troops had already blocked the corpse tide outside of the city gates.    

    

However, at this moment, the center of the city suddenly caved in.    

    

Following that, thousands of zombies burst out from the collapse and began to fight in every direction.    

    

The defensive barrier instantly collapsed.    

    

Within a short period of time, the entire city was reduced to nothingness.    

    

Hua Muyan told Chu Yan sorrowfully that in the past half a year, more than two hundred cities with a population of over two hundred thousand had been destroyed. There were also forty that had been destroyed.    

    

These numbers were still increasing.    

    

The destruction of the towns meant not only the destruction of the buildings, but also the near destruction of the population.    

    

After a rough calculation, tens of millions of citizens had already died in the zombie horde.    

    

This did not even include the soldiers and cultivators who had gone out to fight the zombies without a care for their own safety.    

    

The cultivators were slightly better off.    

    

When facing zombies that could kill, a mortal army still had a limited combat strength.    

    

"According to the situation, we will have to adjust the number of disciples and deacons sent out.    

    

However, in general, the number of disciples we send out for each period of time is maintained at at least 30%.    

    

At most one time, almost eighty percent of the disciples were sent out. " When Hua Muyan told Chu Yan of this number, her voice was even faintly trembling.    

    

Chu Yan could not help but be moved.    

    

More than half of the sect's people had left, but that didn't seem to be a big deal.    

    

After all, disaster was right in front of them.    

    

But the problem was, it was like marching and fighting.    

    

No matter how tense the war ahead was, there would still be people guarding the base.    

    

If the base camp was empty and someone attacked right now, the consequences would be unimaginable.    

    

Furthermore, in this chaos of zombies, to be able to get the Shattered Star Pavilion to send out eighty percent of his disciples, it was enough to see the desperate nature of the battle and the crisis.    

    

At a time like this, if there were any demon beasts or Demonic Cultivator attacking the Shattered Star Pavilion Mountain Gate …    

    

No one dared to even think about the consequences.    

    

After all, the demon beasts and the Demonic Cultivator did not have any morals. This point was something that Chu Yan experienced deeply during the Imperial City banquet that followed after the General Election of the Orthodoxy.    

    

And on the continent, the real war that had been going on since the start was between cultivators and demonic beasts.    

    

After saying all that, Hua Muyan then comforted Chu Yan, "Actually, the most chaotic and dangerous period has already passed. In this past month, the situation has been relatively stable.    

    

However, the zombies are still unceasingly showing up, which is quite annoying. This kind of zombie has not appeared for quite some time. "    

    

Hearing that, Chu Yan felt like something was going on in his mind.    

    

However, this light only flashed once.    

    

When he wanted to think about it more carefully, it was already too late.    

    

Thus, the topic shifted to Chu Yan's original intention of returning.    

    

"This time's plan will be entirely up to you. As long as you are able to obtain the qualifications to enter the Spirit Severing Road, it will be a great opportunity for those disciples.    

    

If we can enter the Heaven's Edge Sect like you in the end, then it will be beneficial to both them and the Shattered Star Pavilion. " Hua Muyan said.    

    

"Yes." Chu Yan nodded, "Then I will gather them before making any plans."    

    

Li Xiu and the others were currently outside. If Chu Yan went to look for them one by one, not only would he waste time, he seemed to have no plans at all.    

    

Therefore, Chu Yan stayed in the Shattered Star Pavilion and used the Message Talisman to send everyone a message.    

    

At this moment, Chu Yan was like weaving a huge net, linking his comrades one by one, one by one.    

    

...    

    

, who was holding onto a green sword, suddenly jumped high in the air when facing the two zombies that were charging at him.    

    

In the next moment, the long sword in his hand chopped out an extremely sharp beam of light.    

    

If one took a closer look, one could see that blood and fire seemed to be gushing out of this blade.    

    

"Extreme Angry Sword Intent!"    

    

With one misstep, the two zombies that were still rushing forward suddenly stopped moving.    

    

The incoming sand was also torn apart by the sword gleam. With a "hu la" sound, it rolled to both sides.    

    

Li Xiu's face was expressionless as he kept the sword back into its scabbard.    

    

With a crisp sound, the bodies of the two zombies shook. The next moment, they exploded into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.    

    

Among these fragments, there were two crystals that were about the size of a peanut, emitting a red glow.
