Spiritual energy surged around Styx, who reached out with one palm and sent several members of the Undying Race flying through the air.
The bodies of these flung individuals burst open, drenched in fresh blood.
Had they been normal humans, they would have been long dead.
But at this moment, these members of the Undying Race seemed to have no perception of pain; despite the blood flowing from them, they continued to charge forward without any regard.
Xu Zimei frowned slightly and swung Tyrant Shadow, cleaving with his blade.
Someone’s head was split apart, yet they still did not die.
"What’s going on?"
Observing this scene, Chaos explained from within the True Fate World: "It’s the characteristic of the Undying Race.
Their life core is a crystal.
The true members of the Undying Race are the hardest to kill, with the crystal moving along with the blood inside their bodies, making it hard to locate.
However, these puppets have their crystals in their hearts.
As long as you destroy their hearts, they will die."
Hearing Chaos’s words, Xu Zimei’s Tyrant Shadow roared with thunder as he thrust it directly into his opponent’s chest.
The thunderbolt obliterated everything inside the opponent’s chest mercilessly.
The person from the Undying Race gradually lost all life signs.
"The heart," Xu Zimei said to Styx.
"There’s no need for such trouble," Styx snorted coldly.
His True Fate Emerged above his head, and a bloody river enveloped the entire city.
The river roared like a dragon, its entire length undulating as it swept down from the horizon, raising colossal waves.
All the puppet inhabitants of the Undying Race were drawn into the river, and in an instant, they were devoured to the point where not even dregs remained.
Styx was a being of the Divine Vein Realm, and the puppets in this city were mostly at the level of the Esteem Vein Realm.
The strongest among them was but at the Emperor Pulse Realm and naturally lacked the power to resist.
Yet, Xu Zimei could still sense the terror of this race.
If they had been at the same realm, it would definitely not have been so easy to win.
As these puppet inhabitants of the Undying Race died, Xu Zimei noticed many dark bugs on the ground.
He frowned slightly at these plump bugs, which seemed unremarkable at first glance.
However, Chaos from within the True Fate World was greatly alarmed by them.
"Undying Gu," Chaos said in horror.
"What is Undying Gu?" Xu Zimei asked, puzzled.
"A very cruel type of parasite, already forbidden by the Undying Race during the Wild Desolation era," Chaos replied.
"This Undying Gu is divided into Mother Gu and Child Gu.
Once the Child Gu enters a human body, it absorbs their vital blood and transfers it to the Mother Gu.
You must know that a person’s vital blood can be replenished over time and with food.
These Undying Gu do not drain a person’s vital blood all at once.
Instead, they absorb it bit by bit, parasitizing within the person’s body."
"And then?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Undying Gu have a strong infectivity; ordinary people can hardly bear them," Chaos replied.
"Humans infected by Undying Gu have only two possible outcomes.
Either they become puppets controlled by the Mother Gu, or they die outright."
"So that’s how it is," Xu Zimei said with a slight frown.
"But it’s a thing against heaven’s will; it was forbidden by the Undying Race during the Wild Desolation era.
How could it appear here?" Chaos wondered aloud.
"Let’s deal with the puppets in this city first," Xu Zimei said.
With a wave of his hand, the enormous figure of Chaos appeared from the void.
This city’s inhabitants were nearly a thousand in number, and more were continuously pouring out.
Styx controlled the bloody river to roll over them while Chaos rose into the air, his large body stepping upon the void, his two pairs of wings thick as cicada’s wings fluttering behind him.
The slaughter was almost entirely one-sided.
Although the inhabitants of Yellow Spring City were not strong, they kept streaming in like an unending wave of ants.
The group slaughtered for a long time, and the entire city became ruins.
The sound of "rumble rumble" kept ringing around.
......
It was at this moment everyone felt the earth shake.
It was as though something had awakened, and a chilling presence spread out.
Styx slightly frowned and said to Xu Zimei, "Do you feel it?
We seem to have been targeted by something."
Xu Zimei nodded.
"Great terror," Styx murmured.
The killing continued, but everyone was on guard, watching the shadows.
A barrier had covered the surroundings of Yellow Spring City, making it impossible to leave or enter.
Styx had tried to attack the barrier, but to no avail.
......
"Look at the sky," Styx suddenly shouted to Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei was startled, he turned his head, and saw that the firmament had turned a murky yellow.
The bright moon hid itself, and the stars receded.
A gigantic vortex spanned above the firmament, and within that vortex, a bearded man in yellow robes slowly walked out.
Stepping into Immortality with Five Steps,
One-Step Mysterious Immortal,
Two Steps Heavenly Immortal,
Three Steps Immortal King,
Four Steps Undying Immortal,
Five Steps Extreme Immortal.
At this moment, the presence of an Immortal King pulsed around the man in the yellow robe.
His presence grew stronger, like the howling wind and raging sea during a storm’s towering waves.
This entire city felt like a small boat in a tsunami, about to be destroyed at any moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Yellow Spring City," the middle-aged man in yellow robes laughed from above.
Styx, with eyes slightly narrowed, shouted, "Are you the True Man of Yellow Spring?"
"Oh, after so long, there are still juniors who remember me," the True Man of Yellow Spring chuckled.
As he descended slowly from the sky, all the people in the city bowed down.
"Yellow Spring City, True Man of Yellow Spring, I should have thought of this sooner," Styx sighed.
"Who is the True Man of Yellow Spring?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Thousands of years ago, probably during the era when the Mortal Great Emperor was bearing Destiny,
Of course, I wasn’t born yet, this is all hearsay."
Styx spoke slowly, "A great evil entered the Shenghua domain.
His name was True Man of Yellow Spring.
To cultivate his technique, he slaughtered multiple cities, which incited the anger of many sects in the Shenghua domain.
Back then, the Immortal Mortal Heaven Sect, to which the Mortal Great Emperor belonged, sent an elder to hunt down the True Man of Yellow Spring.
Since then, the True Man of Yellow Spring never appeared again, and the world thought he was dead, or he had fled the Shenghua domain.
Unexpectedly, he had been hiding, using the cover of Yellow Spring City to secretly cultivate his wicked technique."
"This Yellow Spring City is within the territory of the Heaven Expanse Holy Sect, isn’t it?" Xu Zimei frowned.
"Why haven’t they intervened?"
"It seems there are some things we don’t know," Styx replied indifferently.
......…
"A Divine Vein Realm expert, a Divine Vein pinnacle Monster Beast, and a little child, what a dilemma you’ve put me in," the True Man of Yellow Spring laughed leisurely.
"What’s the dilemma?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Do you wish to live? Or do you wish to die?" the True Man of Yellow Spring laughed.
"You’re all good seeds; I can’t bear to kill you."
