Ye Bai's allies were ambushed while clearing up threats, with two generals being sent to another dimension. Meanwhile, a necromancer named Dark Star plots to revive the undead heroes entombed in the Flame Country's Soul Shrine, seeing it as a way to punish those who broke a covenant.

In that case, Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star, allow me to eliminate them.

Ye Bai let out a cold laugh.

"Sky-eating Roc, perform Spatial Transfer."

A tip of the Sky-eating Roc’s feather directly tore through the fabric of space.

In a mere moment, Ye Bai materialized within the Hall of Heroes.

The guards tasked with overseeing the Hall of Heroes had already met their demise at the hands of Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star, their forms twisted into undead puppets.

At this juncture, a skeleton wielding a colossal sword emerged from the depths of the Hall of Heroes.

Another young zombie, clutching a battered shield, also made its appearance.

"Why are only the two of you present? Where are the other heroic spirits?"

"I can distinctly sense the presence of those heroic spirits; why do they now refuse another chance at life?"

Tian Dark Star scoffed disdainfully.

"A thousand years ago, countless individuals yearned for a second life, yet now they are so uncooperative."

Tianling Star was rendered speechless.

"It appears only the two of you harbor lingering attachments; come forth, become my thralls, subject to the control of me, Tian Dark Star, the necromancer."

The skeleton brandishing the greatsword lifted it, not in servitude to Tian Dark Star, but with the clear intent to decapitate her in a single, swift motion.

"What is the meaning of this? I painstakingly resurrected you from death, and this is the gratitude you show?"

Tian Dark Star, alerted by the whistling sound of the blade cutting through the air, tumbled across the ground, narrowly avoiding the strike. However, the sword's luminous edge still managed to sever her long, flowing hair.

Witnessing her hair drift through the air, Tian Dark Star was consumed by a rage so potent it nearly sent her into a swoon.

"I am enraged! Utterly furious, my beautiful flowing hair!"

An aura of almost unimaginable terror erupted from Tian Dark Star’s very being.

A copious amount of dark miasma billowed forth from Tian Dark Star’s body, coalescing into the shape of a skull-like visage, exuding a profoundly eerie presence.

"I, Tian Dark Star, a practitioner of necromancy, have never endured such a profound insult."

Myriad shadows surged from the very earth beneath them; these were an overwhelming multitude of zombies, each garbed in attire distinct from the rest.

"These are zombies I have meticulously handpicked. My peculiar fascination lies in the unearthing of ancient tombs, hence my amassed collection of zombies, each blessed with unique capabilities."

"If you possess the requisite skill, you are welcome to cleave and obliterate every single one of these zombies. However, I must caution you that with each swing of your blade, a portion of your soul power will be depleted."

"As you have not forged a pact with me, your soul power is inherently finite. This means that once your soul power is exhausted, you shall be eternally silenced."

"Had you not answered my summons, you could have naturally continued to exist, but alas, you responded. Why then let such an opportunity pass in vain?"

Tian Dark Star articulated her words with chilling finality.

"I merely wished to ascertain your clandestine machinations, hence I heeded the call of the undead."

"When I beheld you, you abominable wretch, my hand moved of its own accord."

The skeleton vociferated its displeasure.

"Well spoken, though I confess I know not your esteemed identity, Senior."

Ye Bai’s form materialized in the expanse above.

"Tian Dark Star, it has been an age since we last crossed paths. Are you content with my prior escapade?"

Tian Dark Star froze momentarily upon hearing Ye Bai’s sharp retort, before erupting in incandescent fury.

"It is you!"

"You subjected me to indignity alongside Tian Guardian. I searched far and wide, yet failed to locate the vanished Breeder. You truly have made my existence arduous."

Ye Bai grinned, displaying a smile utterly devoid of shame: "Haha, I appreciate the compliment."

"However, my current intention is to obliterate you entirely, right here."

"Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star, should I succeed in dispatching the two of you, will not Tian Guardian be plunged into despair?"

"For he will suffer a substantial loss of vital personnel, and moreover, individuals capable of summoning formidable undead warriors."

Upon hearing Ye Bai’s tendentious remarks, Tianling Star trembled on the precipice of overwhelming fury.

How utterly despicable!

Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star unleashed their formidable might in unison.

A torrent of azure luminescence radiated from their palms, channeling directly into the zombie ranks.

The zombies swelled instantaneously, as if infused with an unnatural potency.

"Young fellow, though your name escapes me, I implore you to safeguard the Hall of Heroes, for within its confines lie our most valorous warriors."

"I, Big Sword Zhang San, have lived a full life; even if my soul were to dissipate, it would be of little consequence."

"That particular zombie is now seeking its kin, having been roused from its slumber; should you find the opportunity, kindly assist him in his search."

Big Sword Zhang San brandished his longsword, charging headlong into the encroaching zombie horde.

"It is time for a change of scenery." Ye Bai’s fingers snapped, and the surrounding environment transformed in an instant.

"You lot are truly fortunate; my Pet Beast has just concluded its evolutionary process. Otherwise, you would not experience the sheer might of the Sky-eating Roc."

"It possesses the ability to execute spatial shifts at will, irrespective of the dimension. This constitutes its most remarkable attribute."

"We are now a hundred kilometers distant from the Hall of Heroes. What say you to this desolate resting place I have selected for you?"

Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star reveled in the corpse aura that permeated the air, letting out bold laughter.

"You're truly brainless for throwing us in here."

"Do you know what this implies?"

"This boundless Yin Qi can be harnessed by us; we can also utilize this Qi to launch a counterattack."

An endless expanse of Yin Qi spread out, enveloping Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star.

"Netherworld Firestorm Burst!"

The surging Yin Qi consolidated, falling directly into the hands of Tianling Star and Tian Dark Star.

Azure blue Yin Qi ascended towards the heavens, a torrent rushing skyward.

"To perish by my hand, a necromancer, is truly a great fortune."

"Next, I shall unveil the might of Tian Dark Star; I will roast your souls in Hellfire."

Ye Bai observed the boundless Hellfire, resembling a sea of flames, with a wide smile.

"Netherworld Hell Wolf, it's time for a feast!"

From Ye Bai's shadow emerged a Netherworld Hell Wolf, entirely black and crackling with Hellfire.

"Are you feeling fear? A Hell Wolf of this magnitude appearing before you."

"Terrified yet?"

The Netherworld Hell Wolf unfurled its cavernous maw, voraciously devouring the Hellfire.

Endless Hellfire poured directly into its mouth.

With a series of gulping motions, the Netherworld Hell Wolf instantly cleared all the flames.

"Ah, that was comfortable!"

The Netherworld Hell Wolf let out a massive burp, still spewing black flames.

"It felt really good, Ye Bai, call me out next time there's a treat."

The Netherworld Hell Wolf abruptly unleashed a colossal barrage of fire sparks.

The seeds of Hellfire incinerated the zombie army instantly upon contact.

"My word, so many zombies, all reduced to ash by the Hellfire."

The faces of the necromancer and Tianling Star contorted with dismay.

"Yes, do you have any further tricks up your sleeve? Unleash them all; I shall face them together."

Ye Bai offered a gracious smile to the two.

"Damn it, it appears I must resort to secret techniques to summon the Asura Demon Ape."

The necromancer clenched their teeth in frustration.

Asura Demon Ape?

Is that the one I'm familiar with?

I recall my teacher's Asura Demon Ape evolving into the Asura Demon Ape King.

So why does the necromancer summon a directly upgraded product?

This presented Ye Bai with a degree of bewilderment.

He intently watched the birth of the Asura Demon Ape.

The Asura Demon Ape was colossal, possessing eight robust arms, each brandishing a formidable weapon.

"Asura Demon Ape, commence your assault."

"I encountered a mutated Asura Demon Ape, and it was pieced together with the arms of other Asura Demon Apes, then refined into a zombie."

"It is an advanced rendition; do not compare it to those inferior variants."

"It is my magnum opus; its arms can obliterate the heavens and earth, and it is impervious to Hellfire assaults, possessing extraordinary strength."
