I Am Overlord

Chapter 1787: Corpse Energy



Chapter 1787: Corpse Energy

Instead of coming from the air, the smell came from the ground. It was very faint, to the point almost nobody noticed it. However, Xiang Shaoyun was able to immediately detect it because he was a One Revolution cultivator.

With a frown, he muttered, "The zombies sure are fast."

Without any hesitation, he channeled his energy into the ground. His energy rumbled under the ground like a dragon and rushed toward the distant mountain range. There, numerous rotting corpses were being raised from the dead. The corpses were the bodies of the dead beasts found in the Buried Monarch Mountain. For some reason, these corpses were all rising as zombies.

Boom!

The risen zombies were unable to do much before Xiang Shaoyun erased them cleanly with his energy.

Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to face the nearby zombie army himself. Rather, he called Devouring Ghost and Scarlet Flame Monarch over and said, "The zombies are here. Deal with them as you see fit."

The two then mustered an army and spread out in two groups, sweeping through the surrounding rising corpses. Next, Xiang Shaoyun called Liang Zhuangmin over and pointed him in the direction of a God Realm zombie who was the culprit for the rising corpses.

"Don\'t worry, overlord. I\'ll take it down," promised Liang Zhuangmin before diving underground with his axe.

Liang Zhuangmin was an earth cultivator, and after comprehending the profundity of earth, he had gained the ability to easily move through earth.

"Looks like the zombies are expanding quickly. I need to take the initiative and attack," muttered Xiang Shaoyun. He then worked on the formations around the sect, strengthening them so that the sect would have the ability to stop a zombie invasion. That way, the sect would remain safe despite the war.

He also flew toward Ziling City and erased the zombie energy that had appeared undetected in the city. The ancient corpses that had risen from their tombs were also cleanly eliminated. Then, Xiang Shaoyun placed a sealing formation around the city. He also commanded the current Ziling City mayor to seal the city and block all passages in and out of the city for a while.

The city\'s common citizens had long heard of Xiang Shaoyun\'s exploits. They all revered him like their guardian deity. Thus, they were incomparably excited when they learned he was in the city in person. In fact, over the years, a certain saying had become popular in Ziling City: If one gives birth to a son, that son should be someone like the overlord.

The overlord had become a household name not only in Ziling City and the Western Desert but also in the entire dominion.

After Xiang Shaoyun finished his preparations, he did not go straight to the Wumo Pass, where the zombies came from.

Rather, he returned to the Ziling Sect. He issued several commands and had Yu Caidie bring Yu Grand Ancestor and the others over to announce their allegiance to the Ziling Sect. He also sent Devil Concubine, Song Tiandao, Liu Qingchen, and Despair back to their respective homes to deal with the dangers there. After all, the world was facing not only a zombie disaster but also a devil disaster.

Xia Liuhui, Lu Xiaoniang, and Jiang Qi returned to the Sacred Deer Academy. At first, Xia Liuhui wanted to stay in the Ziling Sect, but Xiang Shaoyun refused the request. The sect was now strong and well defended. He also had many aliens under his control. Thus, he did not fear the zombies.

Lady Shura and Du Xuanhao were sent to lead groups to eliminate the zombies at the Dragon Society, Brightflower Chamber, and some other places. Their focus was to first clean up in their own territory.

After all this time, the angels had thoroughly blended into the Ziling Sect\'s big family. Their purification power was the bane of the zombies, so they also helped in the fight against the zombies instead of staying put on their land.

The wolfmen had also naturally joined in the war effort. Since they had acknowledged Xiang Shaoyun as their master, they would obey all his commands. They were tasked with protecting the Buried Monarch Mountain proper. Countless powerful demonic beasts resided there, so there were naturally countless demonic beast remains.

If they did not handle the situation well, the demonic beasts might be provoked to attack the sect. Since the wolfmen had the blood of humans and demonic beasts in them, they were the best candidates to negotiate with the demonic beasts on matters concerning the zombies.

After issuing all those commands, Xiang Shaoyun sent his devil clone to Dragon Phoenix Academy while his main body headed to the Wumo Pass. That was where the Zombie God originated. He had to take a look there. Along the way, he sensed corpse energy everywhere. Countless ancient corpses were crawling out of their graves, turning the Western Desert into a terrifying hell.

Many organizations were battling the zombies, but unfortunately, the smaller organizations stood no chance. Even the larger organizations were barely able to protect their territories and were unable to help anyone else. Due to his master\'s influence, Xiang Shaoyun\'s mentality had changed. He was resolute in his desire to do what he could for the entire dominion.

Thus, he personally headed toward the Wumo Pass, trying to stop the zombie expansion. It would be even better if he could suppress the Zombie God and push him into inactivity.

When he reached Wumo Pass, Xiang Shaoyun sensed a terrifying amount of corpse energy in the area. The corpse energy was so thick it had formed clouds. A terrible stench filled the air, and anyone who breathed in the air here would rot away and turn into a zombie.

"Money, go scout," said Xiang Shaoyun as he lightly patted his mount\'s head.

Money had grown into a valiant beast. His silver horn was long and majestic, and his massive serpentine body was filled with power. Lightning currents constantly danced around his body. He was now a ninth-stage Demon God.

"Sure," agreed Money fearlessly before diving into the thick corpse clouds.

The corpse energy would affect any life form except for Money, whose entire body was forged by a power of extreme yang, the power of lightning. The moment Money dove into the clouds, zombies rushed him. He spat a clump of lightning out of his mouth, blasting the zombies into smithereens.

His forceful entry attracted the attention of the God Realm zombies. They immediately attacked. Money merely used his body to destroy all the zombies through brute force, attempting to lure out the zombies\' master.

Suddenly, an ancient coffin flew toward Money. The coffin moved rapidly, nearly catching Money by surprise. He barely moved out of the way, but the coffin acted peculiarly. It actually shifted its trajectory and flew toward Money yet again, moving with the dexterity of a living object. Money did not hesitate and spat out a clump of primal chaos lightning, attempting to blast away the coffin.

The primal chaos lightning was extremely destructive, and it unsurprisingly blasted the coffin apart. An alien corpse appeared before his eyes. This was not the Zombie God but a God Realm zombie under the Zombie God. It was a ninth-stage God.

Several other ancient coffins flew toward Money as well.
