Those who had not yet migrated and were dissatisfied with the migration were now filled with fear…
"The Skeleton-Slayer Underworld Ruler!!!" Lu Xu, the Military Commander, only uttered the name of that colossal being after a moment of shock.
Even with his cultivation as a Super Mage, he would shiver when mentioning this name, not to mention witnessing firsthand this most terrifying Lord of the Undead that had been lurking on this land!
The Ghost-Husk Tyrant is a ghost, a monarch among ghosts. Its appearance must be accompanied by vast, dense swarms of ghosts!
The Skeleton-Slayer Underworld Ruler is a skeleton, the king of skeletons!
This is a Super-Tier Undead Monarch whose fearsome reputation surpasses even that of the Ghost-Husk Tyrant!!!
Who would have thought that this Undead Monarch would appear even though it was already daytime?
"Wail~!"
Another roar, like a death knell, suddenly rang out. The Skeleton-Slayer Underworld Ruler flapped its wings and hovered several kilometers from the city wall. It raised its main head, one of its three heads, high, and through its hollow throat, black energy could be seen shining in its mouth!!!
The sharp dark light instantly transformed into a pillar of shockwave, a black death rainbow whistling from several kilometers away.
The space buzzed, and the death rainbow had no arc; instead, it cut a straight diagonal line through the heavy rain and the city wall area. In just a few seconds, the black rainbow shockwave poured down, striking one end of the north city wall, about a kilometer to the left of the watchtower!
Black light filled the air, making even the dawn vanish.
When the north city wall touched the black rainbow, it merely turned a dim gray, but in the next second, the entire rock body of the north city wall was completely consumed by the blackness!!!
The city wall disappeared… That sturdy and thick city wall was completely corroded away. When the energy pillar vanished, that one kilometer section of the north city wall also disappeared!!!
This meant that humanity's defenses instantly turned into nothingness. The undead could freely enter the Ancient Capital without any obstruction. The entire Ancient Capital would be occupied by the undead, and at that time, blood would surely flow like rivers!
"Buzz~!!!!!"
A layer of eerie purple light slowly spread, gradually enveloping this northern district. Those graceful girls all preferred purple; a large district covered in purple would certainly be beautiful to the extreme…
However, once one understood what this truly was, they would realize that this captivating purple was the beautiful hallucination before death, the last desire left in this world, without hope.
"Pur… Purple Alert~~~~!!!!!"
Lin Chen stood on the watchtower, looking out. At this moment, in this ancient city, many people had just woken up. They also noticed this eerie color, their faces filled with unprecedented fear and despair.
The appearance of the Skeleton-Slayer Underworld Ruler was just the beginning. Fifty kilometers away, a colossal being, a supreme Undead Monarch whose body was like a mountain, the Mountain Peak Corpse, suddenly appeared there. This was an existence similar to the Totem Black Snake, both being Supreme Monarch-level. Such an Undead Monarch was simply not something ordinary Super Mages could contend with. Even Zhu Meng and others showed despair after seeing the Mountain Peak Corpse!
Lin Chen came to Zhu Meng's side, opened his palm, caught the Yushui falling from the sky, and said to Zhu Meng, "Zhu Meng, this Yushui might be the real reason the undead appeared during the day!"
"How is this possible?" Zhu Meng was slightly stunned and said in surprise. The Hunter Kings and others around him also looked at Lin Chen in confusion.
Just then, Mo Fan also walked over. He asked, "Brother Chen, is it the Black Vatican?"
For Mo Fan, the disaster of Bo City was something he could never forget in his life. Just like the current Ancient Capital, it was raining heavily, and Mo Fan quickly thought of the details.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and nodded, "That's right, it is indeed the Black Vatican. The strange smell floating in the Yushui is exactly the same as during the Bo City disaster. This Yushui will make the demons fall into a berserk state! Now that I smell the same scent, I am certain that this Yushui is the real reason the undead appear during the day! If we don't stop it, more and more undead will awaken from their slumber!"
"Damn Black Vatican!" Zhu Meng cursed. Not long ago, he had just learned about the Black Vatican's movements. They had strange activities in many different places, but here in the Ancient Capital, it was extremely calm, as if it had been swept clean like Bo City.
But the calmer it was, the more it meant that their actions were precise and strict, not allowing any Black Vatican member to expose even a tiny trace.
Zhu Meng thought for a moment and said to Lin Chen and Mo Fan, "You two come with us to the An Boundary! Under a Purple Alert, it's hard to survive outside!"
What Zhu Meng said was mostly for Mo Fan, as he still had some confidence in Lin Chen's strength.
Lin Chen shook his head, thanking Zhu Meng for his kindness.
Mo Fan said, "I still have some friends in the outer city. I want to take them to the An Boundary with me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng did not insist. He patted Mo Fan's shoulder and said, "Then be careful. Don't force things when you encounter them. Saving your life is paramount!"
After Zhu Meng and the others left, Lin Chen looked at the situation outside the city. Countless black, white, and gray decaying corpses, corpse generals, skeletons, bone generals, evil ghosts, and ghost generals were densely spread across the ground. The ground wriggled and undulated because of them!
The undead army, composed of countless undead, continuously surged towards the Ancient Capital. The most terrifying was still the Skeleton-Slayer Underworld Ruler, which hovered in the sky and destroyed a kilometer of the city wall with a single death breath.
It possessed intelligence, and it was frantically destroying the continuous city walls that blocked its subjects from invading the city. Several kilometers of the north city wall collapsed, and watchtowers shattered one after another. This defense line, which people relied on for survival, was completely vulnerable before this creature!
…
In the Spirit World, a huge light cocoon pulsated. Since last night, Qiu'er's internal energy had reached saturation, transforming into a massive golden light cocoon. This meant that Qiu'er had reached the Million-Year Spirit Beast level. Once Qiu'er breaks out of the cocoon, it will become a true Divine Beast.
At that time, Lin Chen would possess at least an Arch-Emperor level summoned beast!
At this moment, cracks had appeared on the golden light cocoon, which meant that Qiu'er was about to break out of the cocoon.
Lin Chen took a look and immediately left the Spirit World. With Lin Chen's current strength, he was invincible below the Emperor level. Even though he was accustomed to life and death, when the disaster of the Ancient Capital appeared before him, his heart felt a slight tremor.
A mountain peak stood amidst the vast tide of undead. Its head, almost touching the clouds, radiated a scornful cold light, striking this precarious city from tens of kilometers away!!!
