A furious roar immediately overwhelmed the noise that the rest of the undead were making. The Sphinx moved his enormous body across the collapsed Wall. He stared over the land that had lost its protection, like a savage lion finally able to roam freely after returning to its vast territory.

The Underworld Executioners, the Twin-Bodied Demon Cows, and the huge troops of mummies flowed by the Sphinx, like surging currents around his feet. They could finally indulge their evil tendencies and trample across the land recklessly after waiting for so long!

The Underworld Executioners were still the quickest of the undead. Their horses’ eyes emitted an eerie light as they swung their bloody scythes through the air…

The breeze from the south carried the scent of living humans and their fear as they ran for their lives. They were incredibly slow. It felt like they had not moved at all, even after the Great Wall had bought them so much time!

They needed the ashes of the living to construct a proper desert. They would start with these humans that were fleeing for their lives, and lay a layer of white sand across the ground first!

“HAHAHAHA, why would they even bother with meaningless struggle? They are all still going to die!” the Cold Prince burst out laughing.

The undead surged through the collapsed Great Wall like a dam burst. The Cold Prince stood on the swaying Magic Fire Beacon, surrounded by the corpses of the Black Vatican’s people. The Underworld creatures were not interested in those that had died to the poisonous smog. Dead bodies were scattered across the place like trash, and were buried under rocks, soil, and debris as the wall collapsed.

The Cold Prince had no reason to keep those that doubted him around!

Everyone in the world would know who the Cold Prince was after this Ceremony! New disciples would rush in like ducks. Why would he care about losing a few now?

“Sky-Flame Funeral: Flame Sword!” a determined voice roared.

A blinding, flaming brilliance shone across the vast land all of a sudden. A man engulfed in raging flames stood close to Northguard Fortress, facing the army of the Underworld!

More spectacular flames appeared in the dark sky. They kept falling to the ground, leaving long burning trails in the sky!

An enormous fiery sword landed in the middle of the sea of undead. A blazing red inferno spread wildly out from it. The Ardent Sunset flames ignited every undead they came into contact with, devouring them hungrily.

There was more than one fiery sword falling from the sky. Swords were pouring down like the Sky-Flame Funeral. Normally, the flames pouring down from the sky would only be the size of fireballs, which would set the land on fire after hitting the ground. This time, huge swords engulfed in scorching flames were falling from the sky instead, landing heavily among the undead. The blasts were extremely deadly, especially when the swords were pouring down like rain. The radiance of the swords surged across the undead, burning both weak undead and strong to ashes!

The deadly flame swords lasted for quite some time. The greedy creatures that had just crossed the debris of the Great Wall never expected to be received by such destructive flames. Countless undead died to the Flame Swords Funeral; not a single one had survived!

The Cold Prince was enraged when he saw Mo Fan stopping the army of undead with such powerful magic!

“Kill him, kill him now! Are you just going to watch him massacre your people!?” the Cold Prince yelled at the Sphinx, the Scorpion Lord Medusa, and the Underworld Monarch Frogs.

The army of undead was massive, so massive that the creatures that Mo Fan had eliminated with the Flame Swords Funeral was like a drop of water in the ocean. Despite that, the scorching flames had stopped the army of undead from advancing!

The Sphinx had long been aware of Mo Fan’s existence. He was like a huge island surrounded by tides of undead. His long face was filled with pride, and a hint of cunning.

The Sphinx let out a roar, giving orders to the Scorpion Lord Medusa and the Underworld Monarch Frogs.

As one of the commanders of the Underworld creatures, it was unnecessary for the Sphinx to do everything himself. He had already taken down the Great Wall. If he had to deal with every enemy that showed up, what did he even need the army and the Underworld Rulers for?

Anyone that blocked their path would die!

The Sphinx commanded Scorpion Lord Medusa to lead her troops and eliminate Mo Fan!

The Flame Swords Funeral was remarkably deadly. Servant-class undead would swiftly burn into ashes if they were touched by the tiniest sparkles, let alone being caught by the radiance of the swords. The Sphinx knew Demon Mo Fan’s strength was not to be underestimated, so it was unnecessary to send the Servant-class creatures to their deaths.

Scorpion Lord Medusa picked up her pace. She was slightly smaller than the Sphinx, but she was still the size of a fortress. She could easily trample human structures, like they were mere toys!

The Scorpion Lord Medusa was followed by a bunch of brown, black, and red scorpion men as she led her army of undead!

These scorpion men were between five and twenty meters long. In other words, even the smallest scorpion man was around the size of a car. Their bodies were covered in scorpion scales. When they marched forward in a line, their scorpion scales gleamed like metal, a dazzling and astonishing sight!

The brown scorpion men were Warrior-level creatures, the black scorpion men were Commander-level creatures, and the red ones were Ruler-level gorgons!

There was only one Scorpion Lord Medusa. She had hundreds of serpents instead of hair. The Red Scorpion Gorgons were Ruler-level creatures too, but instead of serpents, their hair looked like wriggling worms, a clear indication that the three Red Scorpion Gorgons were not as powerful as Scorpion Lord Medusa!

The Sphinx was treating Mo Fan quite seriously, sending three Rulers and one Great Ruler to eliminate him. The Sphinx did not attack. He had dispatched Scorpion Lord Medusa and her strongest troop instead!

Scorpion Lord Medusa could easily dominate anywhere she went, yet she was willing to be the vanguard troop here!

Scorpion Lord Medusa had a woman’s face. Her exposed breasts were covered in scorpion scales. She had the demeanor of an empress, demanding any weaker existence submit to her!

Behind Mo Fan was the shadow of the Flame Belle Empress. Her aura was completely different from the evil presence Scorpion Lord Medusa was emanating. Flame Belle represented the purest life form of the Fire Element in the world. Her aura even had a hint of holy purity.

Unfortunately, both the souls of Flame Belle and Flying Creek Snow Wolf had merged with Mo Fan’s soul when he was in demon form, so Flame Belle Empress could not fight on her own. Otherwise, he would have let Flame Belle Empress fight with the Scorpion Lord Medusa to decide who the real empress was!

The three Red Scorpion Gorgons behind the Scorpion Lord Medusa seemed restless. One of them, around thirty meters long, decided to engage Mo Fan first!

When the Red Scorpion Gorgon moved, the scorpion men that had piled up like mountains launched their attacks too!

These scorpion men had impressive jumping ability, and rarely attacked from the ground. They preferred pouncing on their targets from every direction. They immediately formed a giant black shell encapsulating an area of three hundred meters, up to a thousand meters from where Mo Fan was standing, completely blocking his vision.

Mo Fan did not feel like he was standing on the ground. It was more like he had fallen into an abyss crawling with scorpion men. There was no way he could dodge their attacks!

A cunning red figure among the scorpion men stabbed with its long poisonous tail at Mo Fan while his vision was limited. A red flicker lunged right at Mo Fan!

The scorpion tail was huge. It did not matter if it was attacking Mo Fan’s vital parts or other spots!

Despite the suffocating pressure from the precarious situation, Mo Fan continued to fix his eyes on the Red Scorpion Gorgon. He ignored the other scorpion men who were approaching him.

“Shadow Wolves Strikes!”

The shadow of the Flame Belle Empress suddenly disappeared. It was replaced by the shadow of a Dark Wolf Emperor. The Wolf Emperor Shadow split into thousands of wolf shadows flashing in all directions!

The wolf shadows raked their claws and tore with their fangs at will, disassembling the Brown Scorpion Men attacking Mo Fan. The seemingly sturdy scorpion scales were non-existent against the wild attacks of the wolf shadows!

The remains of scorpion men fell and scattered across the place, piling up around Mo Fan’s feet. Since they did not bleed much, they looked like piles of scrap in a junkyard, just not as orderly!

Over a thousand scorpion men had died almost instantly, leaving just the Red Scorpion Gorgon that naively thought it could outsmart Mo Fan. After losing the cover of its troops, its enormous figure completely stood out among the rest of the scorpion men. Nothing was easier than dodging its poisonous tail, Mo Fan just needed to take a little hop backward.

The scorpion tail stuck so deep into the ground that the creature struggled to pull it out. The wolf shadows returned to Mo Fan’s back, and granted his hands overwhelming brute strength!

Mo Fan clenched his hands into claws. The claws were every bit as huge as the Wolf Emperor Shadow.

He grabbed the Red Scorpion Gorgon’s poisonous tail. The Demon Runes over his body lit up suddenly. He started spinning the thirty-meter Red Scorpion Gorgon like he was doing a hammer throw…

BANG!

The Red Scorpion crashed heavily into another Red Scorpion Gorgon. Both Red Scorpion Gorgons went rolling a great distance away. The last Red Scorpion Gorgon froze in its tracks. It hesitated whether it should attack or not.

Was he even human? It had never seen such a violent human since it had died a thousand years ago!
