Chapter 413 Undead Crisis
Upon seeing this, Chu Yunfan's heart tightened, and he prepared to launch an attack.
However, just as he was about to make his move, a glint flashed in Chu Yunfan's eyes, as if he had discovered something, and he immediately withdrew his attack.
The next second, more than a dozen black figures brushed past Chu Yunfan and rushed toward the other three black figures who had just been seriously injured.
Then, to Chu Yunfan's somewhat surprised gaze, these dozen or so black figures actually tore the three black figures who had just been seriously injured to pieces.
You eat the arm, I eat the leg; you gnaw on the head, I eat the flesh.
In the blink of an eye, the three heavily injured black figures vanished.
After dividing up the three black figures, the dozen or so black figures turned around and stared at the last injured black figure in front of Chu Yunfan, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfan immediately activated the Death Blade in his hand.
The intense power of death, combined with the unparalleled sharpness of Geng metal energy.
A powerful aura erupted instantly.
Immediately, the dozen or so black figures turned around and scattered like birds and beasts.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfan continued to activate the Death Blade, absorbing and refining the black figure in front of him.
Subsequently, Chu Yunfan disguised himself as a black figure and advanced deeper into the mist, ambushing any black figures he encountered along the way and turning them into nourishment for the Death Blade to help it grow.
During this process, Chu Yunfan also discovered something that delighted him greatly.
When the Death Blade absorbs the power of death to grow, the power of the death rules contained within it becomes more obvious and active than usual.
At such moments, Chu Yunfan can more clearly sense the existence of the power of the rules of death, thereby gaining insight into it.
However, entering a state of enlightenment amidst this fog is clearly an extremely dangerous thing.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan changed his strategy. Instead of letting the Death Blade devour and refine the black figures directly, he severely injured these black figures, then devoured and stored them for later refinement.
What was once a perilous, foggy area has now become a bountiful field.
Of course, what Chu Yunfan didn't know was that he was still on the outermost edge of the misty area.
These black figures are merely the lowest-level creatures in the misty region.
Deeper within the misty region, there exists another life form, a combination of the power of death and the power of the soul.
This kind of life is called the dead.
The undead are actually an upgraded version of the black shadows; they are creatures that grow and evolve by devouring other black shadows.
Unlike ordinary black figures, the undead have developed a certain level of intelligence, possess some ability to think, and can even use the power of the rules of death to attack.
Moreover, some powerful undead have even awakened some of their memories from their previous lives, enabling them to think like ordinary people.
Of course, these undead are only a very small number, and they are hidden in the deepest part of the misty region.
Only those spirits with lower intelligence are active outside.
However, even these low-intelligence undead usually possess strength comparable to a Martial Saint, in addition to the power of the rules of death they wield.
If an ordinary person were to encounter this, it would surely mean certain death.
Of course, this applies to ordinary people.
Those who can enter the battlefield of gods and demons are naturally not ordinary people.
At this moment, about ten kilometers ahead of Chu Yunfan, near the center of the misty area, there was a person fighting fiercely with an undead, their strength evenly matched.
This person is Nangong Xiyan, the pride of the Nangong family.
Chu Yunfan arrived at this misty area only because he was guided by the Blade of Death.
However, after entering the battlefield of gods and demons, Nangong Xiyan seemed to have planned it all along and headed straight for this place.
Therefore, Nangong Xiyan entered the mist area earlier than Chu Yunfan, and also entered a deeper part of the mist area ahead of time.
Of course, the reason why Nangong Xiyan was able to resist the undead here was not because of her own strength, but because of a treasure she possessed.
This treasure is a verdant tree branch.
Previously, Nangong Xiyan had used this tree branch to resist Chu Yunfan's soul attack.
In reality, soul defense is merely an attribute that comes with this tree branch.
The origin of this branch is that it is a branch of the World Tree.
The World Tree is a divine tree that was born at the very beginning of the universe, and its power is comparable to that of a god.
The most distinctive feature of the World Tree is that it possesses inexhaustible life force, and is known as the tree that will never be destroyed.
Although what Nangong Xiyan holds in her hand is just a branch from the World Tree, it still possesses a vast amount of life force.
The World Tree branches are able to resist soul attacks because of their life force.
The principle behind this is to use the life force contained in the branches of the World Tree to counteract the enemy's soul attack.
Of course, using life force in this way is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut—a huge waste.
The most important ability of the life force is healing, it is bringing the dead back to life.
Of course, besides that.
The power of life is also the best weapon against the power of death.
For a normal life, the life force is the best tonic in the world.
But for the power of death, the power of life is a poison that destroys everything.
Undead, composed of the power of death, will suffer irreversible damage as soon as they come into contact with the power of life.
This can be seen from the current battle.
The undead, who clearly possessed the strength of a Martial Saint, was many times stronger than Nangong Xiyan.
However, this undead only dared to hide in the mist, launching sneak attacks on Nangong Xiyan from time to time, without any intention of confronting Nangong Xiyan head-on.
From this perspective, Nangong Xiyan even had the upper hand in the battle.
Of course, in reality, Nangong Xiyan was somewhat troubled at this moment.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she stared at the surrounding mist, her beautiful eyes filled with deep contemplation.
Her goal was to reach the deepest part of the misty region to find her objective, not to waste time and energy here with the undead before her.
It should be understood that the World Tree branch in her hand is ultimately just a branch, and no matter how much life force it contains, it is not inexhaustible.
Every time a branch of the World Tree loses a bit of life force, Nangong Xiyan feels a pang of heartache for a second.
Of course, more importantly, in this misty area filled with the power of death, the appearance of the power of life is like adding water to a boiling pot of oil, making it difficult not to cause a great commotion.
If the stalemate continues, more undead will inevitably be attracted.
At that time, one can imagine what Nangong Xiyan's situation would be like.
This scene seemed familiar.
Just now, Chu Yunfan was facing the same predicament.
However, Chu Yunfan was able to disguise himself as a black figure, thus blending in with the real person.
But Nangong Xiyan had no choice but to disguise herself as a ghost.
Once a living person enters the fogged area, they will be discovered by the undead.
The remaining outcome will be a fight to the death.
