To make matters worse, the very same qi that was stolen from them to cause their death in the first place was what was used to create them. Dyon and Chenglei's tandem hadn't lost any stamina or strength, yet in an instant, they created an army of millions. Black skeletons emitting dense black qi all simultaneously maneuvered an about-face.
The clicking and crackling of bone sounded as the corpse puppets roared animalistically into the skies. This turn of events was simply too devastating, and it only became worse as the corpses began to reap one life after another, growing the number of their army. Refining corpses was supposed to take time.
If they were used directly after their death, they'd be much weaker than they had been back when they were alive. However, Dyon had already reached the One with Self Realm of [Devour]… The technique became no different from clay in his hand. Using the bones of the skeleton as the origin point for the technique… making use of the strong bodies of the Ancient Battlefield population to make their corpse puppets stronger… These things were too easy.
In the next moment, hundreds of corpses appeared by Chenglei and Dyon. However, this time, they weren't from the coming army, but were rather the very centaurs they just slaughtered. Four Supreme corpses stood at their helm, following closely by dozens of Lords and hundreds of Higher Existences.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOverlord Afra's expression flickered from pale to red to green, her heart trembled so fiercely that blood leaked from her lips. "Stand back." Dyon's cold voice was very clearly directed toward the three dwarven Overlords. "Today, I really want to kill." Space shook and shattered as four more beasts appeared by his side. The four beast babies had grown considerably. Maybe if it wasn't out of habit, Dyon would have long since stopped calling them babies at all… Biibi had fully grown into her Celestial Deer form.
Her limbs brimmed with a powerful force, causing the air beneath her hooves to solidify. Her body glowed with a golden light, a supreme celestial will twinkling around her like stars in the night sky. Dyon had gone not only purified her bloodline completely, but he mutated it with the Lux Clan's Light Qilin bloodline.
This not only made Biibi's inherent magic affinity more potent, especially in the vein of light magic, but it also made her speed reach an unprecedented level when coupled with the Celestial Deer's wind affinity. Sen's appearance made the four-armed apes in the enemy army tremble in fear. His white fur glimmered with a royal blue luster that formed an armor of diamond.
His bestial form had grown two tusks that seemed ready to tear even a Dragon limb from limb. Not only had Dyon purified his bloodline, but he also raised the Diamond Skinned Ape bloodline he gained from the Golden Flame Mystical World to its upmost. A single swing of his rod could level planets and eat suns, he was completely unlike he had been in the past.
Linlin exuded an ancient aura. Her beautiful black shell was etched with runes of silver and gold, radiating in the skies like an unmatched treasure. Her shell alone was comparable to a Venerable Grade Treasure.
Nephilim territory was indeed worthy of being known as a the oldest of the mortal plane. The ancient qi Linlin managed to absorb from them was responsible for the power she wielded now. Finally, there was Shere.
If one wanted to measure intimidation alone, the crimson slaughter qi that violently whirled around her body was without competition. Blue devil flames raged from the depths of her vicious gaze. She felt Dyon anger the most, she wanted nothing more than to help him vent his fury.
The bones in her body crackled, a roar the likes of which forced even the Overlords to take a step back escaping her lips. A black exoskeleton seemed to form from thin air, descending down the length of her spine and tail before covering the front of her front and hind limbs. A sharp SHIIING resounded as her claws and exoskeleton morphed into one.
All the sanity vanished from her pupils, replaced by nothing more than a will for slaughter. Little Chibi bobbed over Dyon's shoulder, her adorable appearance hidden beneath her heavy black lid. It seemed she had no intention of coming out… She was entirely focused on using the dead to pave a path forward.
Below, the agonizing screams and cries for help of the armies below sounded. But, unfortunately for them, their six Overlords didn't dare to budge an inch. Their attention was entirely focused on Dyon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey didn't even dare to spare a glance toward the three dwarf Overlords any longer. "Nine times…" Dyon muttered. "Nine times…" He didn't know what these words meant, but they fiercely rung in his ears, unwilling to allow him to think of everything else. For some reason, every time he thought it, an image of one of his wives would flash in his mind, only enraging him further. Chenglei's mouth opened, a surge of violent qi swirling in from the surroundings.
An ever-growing ball of black flames surged as he cocked his back, his throat expanding violently. Biibi muttered a few words beneath her breath. In tandem, a massive crystalline array appeared before the ball of black flames.
The expression of the six Overlords completely changed. The only one who seemed uncaring for the situation was the Overlord of the Deity Race, yet even he was quickly gathering his strength into his fists. "… [Asura]." What was already a prison became a fiery hell. Dyon's words became like a death sentence.
Spears of flaming black descended from the skies. Retaliation seemed completely futile. The runes on Linlin's back glowed fiercely.
Every utterance that left her lips blocked another oppressive strike of the six Overlords. A single word dispelling an attack that could destroy words. Sen beat his chest, his rod slamming into the ground.
Waves of dense earth qi caused the ground to form violent tides as though it was no different from the dark oceans of the Ancient Battlefield.
