Chapter 1 How Do You Want to Die?

An Qi Sheng's voice held no warmth, seeming even more ruthless than the freezing wind atop the high snow mountain. The group of zombies, who had been eyeing him covetously, seemed to sense something and unconsciously retreated a few steps.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Shang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world:

"Laughable, laughable... Huh?!

No!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Zhu Shang's blood-red eyes suddenly narrowed.

The cold wind seemed to crash down with his gaze, the accumulated snow danced wildly, and a rumbling vibration shook the mountain: "Where did you learn 'Strange Speech' from?"

A hint of surprise, even disbelief, rose in Zhu Shang's heart.

'Strange Speech' was the only language commonly used in his world.

Legend had it that the founder of the Taiji Daochang had integrated all the written and spoken languages of the world at that time and promoted it throughout the land. Moreover, it was not just language and writing. It was said that the new system covered all aspects, including but not limited to laws, weights and measures, roads, armored vehicles, and so on.

In his world, it was naturally a very common thing, but this place was not his world!

For him, learning the language of this world was effortless. What he said to this ant before was precisely in the language of this world, but the ant's response was actually in 'Strange Speech'. He was so familiar with 'Strange Speech' that he almost didn't realize it.

Because he had never imagined that in such a harsh place, devoid of even a trace of heaven and earth essence, or baleful aura, there would be someone who could speak 'Strange Speech'!

Where did it come from?

"Do you call it 'Strange Speech'?"

A strange feeling rose in An Qi Sheng's heart:

"I suppose I created it."

There were countless languages on Xuan Xing, and even within a single country, there were many dialects. The Human Path naturally had even more. He had ordered Sa Wuling to promote legislation, and the first thing was language and writing. If language and writing were not unified, how could one talk about laws?

This script, however, was formed by him, incorporating thousands of scripts and languages from the Human Path, as well as inspiration from the scripts passed down from the Dragon Eclipse Realm.

Of course, he didn't come up with the name himself. It must have been done by a later generation of the Taiji Daochang.

"You created it? Nonsense!"

Zhu Shang sneered, and a violent wind suddenly arose, the accumulated snow rolled, and the snow peak rumbled. An invisible force had already shaken out:

"I'll know once I extract your soul and take a look!"

Bang!

Zhu Shang didn't waste any more words, or even raise his hand. His voice vibrated the snow mountain through the void as a medium, already producing an effect close to verbal decree.

Visibly, the accumulated snow howled and rolled, transforming into a snow palm the size of several acres, fiercely grasping towards An Qi Sheng.

This broken place was without spiritual energy or baleful aura, and even lacked the 'Qi' that made him and countless other demons and ghosts loathe and hate it to the extreme. Every moment he existed in this place, he had to consume a huge amount that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

He didn't have much strength to waste, and he didn't think there was anything to say to such an ant.

He didn't even bother to raise his hand. Crushing an ant wasn't something he particularly cared about.

Bang!

Although it was just a casual sentence, violent winds stirred up by changes in the air currents raged within the temporary camp. The accumulated snow within hundreds of meters was swept up and danced wildly, and the ground beneath it exploded layer by layer. Rocks that had been frozen for countless years were crushed into powder, which billowed and scattered.

The deafening sound spread and roared between the mountains, triggering a continuous avalanche. Millions of tons of accumulated snow, along with countless rocks, mud, and sand, crashed down the mountain like a tsunami.

Chu Fan, who had just found Feng Mingtao hundreds of miles away, was shocked and fled for his life.

"Mr. An..."

Further away, outside the Xiya Mountains, in a helicopter hovering below the clouds, Bai Hu and the others, who were watching the scene through images refracted and processed by 'Yinglong', turned pale.

Clearly, he hadn't even moved, yet he had already produced an effect comparable to a cannon bombardment. What kind of power was this?

"When will the nuclear strategic bombers arrive?"

Bai Hu asked:

"If Mr. An is martyred, we will immediately launch the highest-intensity strategic bombing!"

After receiving the order, they acted extremely quickly, but they discovered An Qi Sheng's trace before they could act. However, An Qi Sheng was moving too fast and didn't have a satellite communication device with him, so they couldn't contact him at all.

"Four hours, thirty-two minutes, and forty-six seconds."

Yinglong's voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, sounded:

"According to calculations, even if 180 nuclear strategic bombers bombard simultaneously, and space-based weapons are activated at full power, the probability of killing the target is only 12.54%. This plan is not recommended."

"More than four hours?!"

Bai Hu's tone suddenly rose. Four hours would be too late. Who knew if the Zombie King would escape?

"It is four hours, thirty-one minutes, and twenty-six seconds, Mr. Bai Hu."

Yinglong replied coldly.

"Bai Hu, look quickly!"

Bai Hu was speechless when he heard a cry of surprise. He turned around and was also stunned:

"This is..."

Bang!

A huge roar accompanied the shockwave that crashed in all directions. Countless mud, sand, and accumulated snow howled through the air, emitting extremely sharp screams.

The huge temporary camp was instantly submerged by the shockwave. The special top-grade military tents were first riddled with holes by the mud and sand, and then blown into the air by the raging shockwave.

The already dilapidated ground collapsed and shattered even more. Dense cracks spread layer by layer beneath the rolling accumulated snow. Almost all the rocky ground within hundreds of meters was instantly crushed into powder.

But amidst the billowing smoke and dust, An Qi Sheng was unharmed. The raging wind couldn't even blow his clothes. This strike, which shocked a hundred miles, didn't even make him move his feet.

"What?"

Zhu Shang's expression finally changed:

"This is impossible!"

He didn't care about missing the attack. What made his expression change was the nine talismans flickering with streaks of purple lightning floating in front of An Qi Sheng!

The nine talismans that had sealed him for a thousand years!

Talismans from Old Celestial Master Sa Wuling of the Imperial Heaven Realm!

How was this possible?

From the souls of the humans he had transformed into zombies, he already knew that this world, or rather, the universe, was definitely not his world.

The two realms were separated. Even if these talismans hadn't lost their effectiveness, how could they be driven by an ant from this world?

Whoosh, whoosh~~~

Amidst the wind and snow, An Qi Sheng was shrouded by the nine talismans, his expression calm.

Although this Zombie King's cultivation was not as good as those ten peak-level Great Demon Ghosts, and he had been suppressed for a thousand years, his state had fallen to a low point. Moreover, because he was stranded in a spirit-less land, his strength had been greatly reduced.

The power he could unleash was also at the Xuan Xing pinnacle, comparable to a walking nuclear weapon. At least, in the short term, compared to himself, who had just returned from a dream and whose body could not bear his own powerful divine sense, he could unleash much greater power.

But he didn't care about the threat of this Zombie King, because he believed in Sa Wuling.

He also believed in himself.

These nine talismans left by Sa Wuling were what he had requested, what he had passed down, what Sa Wuling had drawn, and what had been passed down by the Taiji Daochang for 60,000 years as a 'Talisman Treasure'.

With Sa Wuling's methods, why would he need to expend so much effort to seal a Zombie King who hadn't reached Great Completion?

These nine talismans were left for him.

Swish, swish~

The nine talismans flickering with purple lightning floated in the wind and snow, and an invisible aura shrouded An Qi Sheng.

Outside the aura, no matter how countless air currents howled and the wind and snow raged, they couldn't blow a single hair on his head.

"Old Celestial Master?!"

After the shock, feeling that familiar aura, the anger that had been suppressed in Zhu Shang's heart for a thousand years suddenly erupted.

Roar~~~

Zombies were born from the gathering of resentment and baleful energy. They were not one of the five categories, were not tolerated by the world, and were born mad. Zhu Shang was the King of Zombies, and his madness and stubbornness were by no means comparable to those of humans.

He had just descended into the world and was suppressed for a thousand years, then exiled to such a ghost place, and repeatedly humiliated by the ants in his eyes.

How turbulent was the anger accumulated in his heart?

At this moment, he no longer had any other emotions in his heart, only intense rage.

And killing intent!

Rumble!

A earth-shaking roar triggered a change in the celestial phenomena.

A monstrous blood-light spewed out from the crimson blood throne, like wolf smoke, like a pillar of heaven, soaring hundreds or thousands of meters in an instant, piercing through layers of storm clouds, and fluttering like a crimson blood banner.

It was as if a curtain like a stage had been lowered from the high sky, covering half the sky.

An indescribable Yin Qi rumbled and spread in the void, turning into a violent wind that swept in all directions. Even though this Yin Qi was disappearing into the void at an extremely fast speed,

It couldn't withstand the fact that the Yin Qi that erupted this time was too turbulent!

Whoosh, whoosh~~~

The long sky for dozens or hundreds of kilometers was instantly dyed blood-red, and an evil and cold aura roared and roared.

"Ah!"

Bai Hu and the others, hundreds of miles away, felt a bone-chilling cold.

The special forces soldiers on the helicopter trembled, almost crashing the plane!

"Not good!"

The special forces soldiers turned pale, desperately raising their altitude, as if they had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.

Looking into the distance, they no longer needed Yinglong to transform it, they could already see the crimson light, like a pillar of heaven.

In an instant, violent winds filled the air, and the entire Xiya Mountains vibrated with a buzzing sound.

A huge, indescribable tremor spread layer by layer, crashing in all directions like a tsunami. The mountains closer to it suddenly collapsed from the impact of the suddenly erupting aura.

Whoosh, whoosh~~~

On the highway, amidst Feng Mingtao's roars, Chu Fan wished he could step on the accelerator all the way into the gas tank. The million-dollar SUV instantly sped up to the fastest speed, fleeing wildly.

"Damn!"

Feng Mingtao was sweating profusely, his face pale as he looked back at the Xiya Mountains.

From a distance, it looked like an invisible air shield with a radius of several kilometers shrouded the area and spread to the surroundings. Wherever it passed, all the mud, sand, accumulated snow, storms, trees, and wild animals were all blown to pieces by the surging air waves and disappeared.

The power of the sound was terrifying, like a small-yield nuclear bomb suddenly erupting!

The huge vibration instantly spread throughout the entire plateau, as well as the northern mountainous areas of the Three-Print Country and multiple countries including Neil.

The earth shook and trembled everywhere. The alarms in the earthquake monitoring bureaus around the world sounded loudly.

Many people were shocked and ran out of their rooms, thinking that an earthquake was about to occur.

Even more people inadvertently looked up and saw the raging shock wave sweeping across the sky, blowing away countless clouds.

Triggering huge celestial phenomena!

In a base in the northwest, Qinglong's pupils shrank as he watched this scene through the video transmitted by Yinglong, and his body trembled.

What he didn't know was that this attack was still caused because there was no spiritual energy or baleful aura blessing, and even because of the restrictions of the spirit-less land, all kinds of exotic powers that broke through the air were disappearing at an extraordinary speed.

If one of the two restrictions was not in place, one strike would be enough to flatten a mountain and sink the plateau!

If both restrictions were absent, this strike would even be enough to shatter the continental shelf!

But even so, the air changes and air flow caused by the huge shockwave had already triggered many celestial observation stations within the Golden Eagle Country in the Western Hemisphere!

"Die!!!"

Amidst the monstrous blood light, Zhu Shang roared and attacked in anger, no longer showing any mercy. The celestial phenomena that swept across the earth and affected several countries were nothing more than the air waves caused by the sudden burst of power that he had squeezed out.

Ninety-nine percent of the power of his angry strike was accompanied by his seemingly light palm, which struck towards An Qi Sheng.

At this moment, he had forgotten his idea of extracting his soul and refining it. In his rage, he only wanted to kill all the living beings in front of him!

Crush this ant!

"The Ten Vicious Ones of the Imperial Heaven are all trash..."

Amidst the extreme violence of the strike, Zhu Shang heard a calm and indifferent voice, just like before:

"You are too."
