Chapter 1405: Chapter 1258: Ye, The Strong Ones Who Stand Till the Last (Part 2) Chapter 1405: Chapter 1258: Ye, The Strong Ones Who Stand Till the Last (Part 2) “Of course, all these are just part of the process,” the Elderly Fox Man continued. “Do you know why the hundreds of thousands in the Frenzied Corpse Army fear it? Is it really just because of Huangquan?”

Chu Mu shook his head. The Frenzied Corpse Army was so vast in number that if they really wanted to cross the Road of Huangquan, Ye would not be able to completely stop them.

However, the Frenzied Corpse Army halted. They did not dare to move forward. Only some Zombies filled with heavy resentment dared to challenge Ye’s authority. And these Zombies that challenged Ye’s authority were ultimately crushed to pieces; they were no match for Ye.

“This has to start with its first challenge on the Road of Huangquan…” The Elderly Fox Man continued his narrative, his tone revealing his appreciation and respect for Ye.

“This path is littered with death. The strongest Demon Spirits will die, and once they set foot on this path, there is no turning back because those resentful corpses lying here do not allow those who fail the challenge to return unharmed to Central Island.”

“At that time, it was at the pinnacle of Central Island, and I thought it would contentedly become the King of Demon Spirits of Central Island. However, when it had few challengers left on Central Island, it stepped onto the Road of Huangquan without hesitation, even though I told it it was a path of no return. It still marched forth…”

“When it stepped in, there were in total three Demon Spirits that accompanied it to the challenge. These three Demon Spirits were among the strongest in Central Island, and were also Demon Spirits that dared to surpass themselves! These three Demon Spirits were the Furious-Horned Demon, the Shadow Beast, and the Seven Sins Fox Rock Emperor…”

“This batch of Demon Spirits was strong. The Furious-Horned Demon defeated The Other Side, the Shadow Beast defeated the previous San Tu, and the Seven Sins Fox Rock Emperor defeated the previous Wangchuan. These three Demon Spirits replaced the three Guardians and stood guard over the Road of Huangquan.”

“But at that time, Ye, who was on par with these three great Demon Spirits, challenged Huangquan!”

“The previous Huangquan was also supreme, once the true strongest Demon Spirit in Central Island, and no other Demon Spirit could shake it. The strength of the new generation of the four great Demon Spirits actually wasn’t much different, including Ye. So when it challenged the previous Huangquan, it meant that it would fail.” The Elderly Fox Man said this and deliberately paused.

“What happened afterward?” Chao Lengchuan asked eagerly.

Everyone was listening to the story of Huangquan’s journey, transfixed. All Soul Pet Masters struggle on the path of cultivation, and those who have truly risen from the bottom must empathize deeply.

“Of course, it defeated Huangquan. Otherwise, how could it replace the previous Huangquan?” The Sea Maiden spoke up.

Everyone nodded; indeed, that seemed to be the case.

However, the Raccoon Elder Li shook his head and continued, “You are wrong. It lost, and it lost miserably. In the end, it was thrown into the underground river channels by Huangquan, and its corpse was washed by the currents into the cemeteries you had previously passed through.”

“Corpse… Corpse?” The Sea Maiden said in astonishment. “Could it be that after failing the challenge, it was… killed?”

Ye was killed by the previous Huangquan?

Since it was killed, why would it now be replacing Huangquan? What happened in between?

“It died, the soul contract was severed…” Chu Mu muttered absentmindedly.

“Heh, Demon Tomb, the graveyard of Demon Spirits. So many Demon Spirits will die here. Having paid attention to it for so many years, it ultimately died, which I find regrettable but also within reason,” the Elderly Fox Man said.

Great Leader Xu Kuang nodded and spoke. “In its life before, it became one of the four strongest Demon Spirits of Central Island. That alone is a tremendous honor for a Demon Spirit. Indeed, the Demon Tomb is where Demon Spirits also wish to rest, and many Demon Spirits want to be buried here at their life’s end…”

“Heh heh, does death mean the end? At first, I thought so too…” The Elderly Fox Man laughed.

Death means the end?

Everyone was confused. Could it be that Ye had been resurrected? But the resurrection techniques in this world were controlled by extremely powerful beings. Could it really have been resurrected?

“It wasn’t resurrected. Like most corpses, it became just another member of the grave mound. Its flesh was eroded by river water, turning it into a pile of white-boned Dream Beasts. But unlike all other Zombies in the cemetery, it did not succumb to despair, fear, or panic. The first thing it did upon rising from the pile of bones was to defeat the surrounding Corpse Clan Creatures!” the Elderly Fox Man said.

Hearing this, Chu Mu was dumbstruck.

He could never have imagined that Ye would have turned into a pile of bones and then risen from those very bones to become an Undead Dream Beast!

The emergence of Undead creatures wasn’t just due to the tempering by death energy. They also required the support of the creature’s immense resentment before death. The fact that Ye emerged from the bones shortly after its death meant its resentment was very deep!

“Most Demon Spirits, after being reduced to a pile of bones, either lose consciousness or are filled with resentment, expressing it through greed and domination. On the one hand, they refuse to accept the terrifying truth that they have become undead white bones. On the other hand, their failure weighs on their minds, leading them to indulge in self-destructive behavior!”

“But it was different. After turning into a white-boned Dream Beast, its strength greatly diminished. It once again became one of the lowest beings in its domain.”

“I actually think that only an Undead body can truly match its indomitable will.”

“After becoming a white-boned Dream Beast, it never stopped climbing. Imagine the vastness of this mountain of white bones. You can imagine how many times it had to be shattered to pieces to reach the pinnacle! And in those countless shatterings, how many times it had to struggle through the endless pile of remains just to find back its own piece of bone…”

Vast white bones, accumulated over countless ages, and hundreds of thousands of Undead in this sunless Cliff Cemetery–how insignificant is a contender who failed against Huangquan!

to be continued…

Chu Mu’s heart couldn’t calm down; within his mind, there were only the black pupils of Ye, which had been tempered to be cold and merciless through arduous experiences. Because whether it was the Night Thunder Dream Beast or the White Bone Dream Beast, its eyes must be flickering with the most tenacious and unyielding brilliance!

“I’ve said before that the Demon Tomb is full of opportunities, as long as you’re alive…”

“Alive here includes living on as an Undead!”

“It is climbing, with the advantage of its rank in life, it gradually overpowered the Corpse type Strong Ones of the Cliff Cemetery, by that willpower it stood at the peak of the entire Frenzied Corpse Army; it became the Undead General among the tens of thousands of bone piles–the strongest Undead in the entire Cliff Demon Tomb!”

“When I heard this news from the Seven Sins Fox Rock Emperor, the shock in my heart was indescribable. I thought it had fallen, that it was over, but then, completely off guard, it stepped onto a pinnacle once more–even in the lowly, humble realm of the Undead, it still sought the highest ground!”

The Raccoon Elder’s eyes flickered as he watched Ye; after a long time, he slowly spoke:

“Now, you all should know why the Frenzied Corpse Army is so fearful of it, right?”

Everyone had always believed that the Frenzied Corpse Army halted their march due to Huangquan’s special identity and its deterrent power–who would have thought that the current Huangquan had climbed out of the Frenzied Corpse Army itself, once a leader of the Corpse Army!

That domineering nature of the former leader of the Corpse Army was now fully displayed since only less than ten of those twenty Resentful Zombies remained until this point!

The bones of ten Resentful Zombies lay scattered on the Road of Huangquan, trampled underfoot by Huangquan like a carpet.

So far, the twenty Resentful Zombies besieging Huangquan had only managed to leave two shallow cuts on its body and then never amounted to anything further. The huge disparity in strength left the surviving ten Resentful Zombies trembling in fear.

Whenever a body is shattered, the strength wanes a fraction, and those leaders of the Resentful Zombies now dared not launch an attack on Ye.

And the vast army of corpses behind them, not a single one dared to step forward. Standing in front of them was once the strongest Undead, many of whom it had personally vanquished.

Perhaps faced with an army of hundreds of thousands the strongest Undead would eventually be overpowered. But the might and the dominance of the strongest Undead were enough to collapse the entire army’s will to fight, for all Undead knew that to strike was to be shattered.

The Elderly Fox Man watched the Frenzied Corpse Army, which no longer dared to move forward, and a cold smile surfaced; clearly, this was within his expectations.

Undead creatures are essentially the failures of the living; they are greedy and cruel, yet they cannot escape the shadows of failure and fear, lacking the courage to challenge a true Undead Leader. Those who dared challenge were for sure crushed by its overwhelming strength, becoming the foundation stones that continued to cement the authority of the Undead Leader.

“The Road of Huangquan, all comers welcome, even the Undead may challenge!”

“After becoming the leader of the Undead, it challenged Huangquan once more, this time as an Undead!”

“Huangquan is strong; it crushed the corpses once again like trash and swept them into the underground river.”

“It’s already Undead; such shattering merely weakened it slightly. When it had replenished its strength, it challenged again, time after time…”

When the Elderly Fox Man reached this point, his gaze suddenly turned towards Chu Mu, speaking with a heavy voice: “Every time I saw it rise from the pile of corpses, then dragging its crippled body silently in search of its scattered bones, I truly wanted to know, what is it that makes it persist like this?”

“From a weak Undead to crossing the first cliff, from the bottom dwellers of the Dominator to the leader of the four great Demon Spirits, from the humblest of corpses to the leader of the mad army, until the previous generation’s Huangquan was defeated by its perseverance…”

“What exactly is this belief that not even death can destroy?”

The Raccoon Elder said this to Chu Mu, knowing that the answer lay within this human.

For many years, he had never seen Huangquan shed tears, only when this human walked towards it did its ice-cold black pupils start brimming with tears…

What is it that makes Ye so persistent?

Chu Mu understood, Chu Mu knew very well.

Simply because, when leaving the Heavenly Plain, he watched Ye’s retreating figure running wildly, and silently said:

“When I see you again, you must become the King in your heart!”

…

For some reason, at this moment, Chu Mu’s eyes were already brimming with tears!
