Chapter 132: Born from Calamity – Sky-Flying Zombie
To accomplish something, one must sacrifice something.
Health, dignity, stamina…
At the age of five, Tian Jing understood this truth, for if he didn’t, he wouldn’t survive.
Now he was twelve, having witnessed his father work himself to death in the fields, having seen his mother struggle desperately to earn money, only to fall ill, and having endured several near-starvation experiences of extreme poverty, having gone through…
Too much.
Adversity forces people to grow.
In this way, Tian Jing abandoned his mother, like a wounded beast, lowly howling as he led his younger siblings toward Baishi Town.
Even when his brother and sister became exhausted, crying out in pain, Tian Jing showed no sign of distress.
Only by reaching Baishi Town would they have the right to live. Until then, they could not stop!
They ran for several hours…
He almost wore through the straw sandals on his feet, and without looking, Tian Jing knew his feet must be covered in blisters.
As for his younger siblings… even though they were only six years old, they had stubbornly kept up with him the entire way.
If it had been those pampered young masters, they would have likely thought about giving up and dying after only a short while.
The only reason they didn’t seek immediate death was probably that the thought of being eaten by zombies was too horrifying, so they desperately ran. If there were a poison that allowed for a peaceful death, they would have swallowed it without hesitation in this situation.
The weight of life looks different through the eyes of different people.
“Baishi Town is just ahead! We’re almost there, Little Shi, give it your all! Safety is just ahead…”
Tian Jing spoke halfway before his voice trailed off. He halted, staring blankly into the distance.
In the distance, a city stood like white stone, quite prominent even in the nighttime, as if glowing.
Silver light!
This was supposed to be a symbol of hope, the light of hope, but now Tian Jing felt cold all over, only profound despair within him.
Under the towering walls of Baishi Town, bodies piled up like garbage, blood flowing like rivers…
Literally flowing like rivers of blood. How many thousands of corpses were here? Even tens of thousands?
Tian Jing saw people continually being pushed out of the town and then killed without a chance to resist. The executioners were a group of soldiers clad in black armor or black robes.
Spiritual Law masters!
“Huh?”
Among those in black armor, Yun Wen was present. He glanced toward the distant mountains and forests, as if sensing some gaze.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed there was none.
However, he quickly lost interest, for the ongoing slaughter had begun to annoy him. This was all too troublesome; if not for the orders, he wouldn’t have come at all.
The continuous slaughter probably involved around ten thousand people.
Even a single glance at the mountain of corpses from the massacres was enough to shatter an ordinary person’s mind.
It was truly terrifying…
But everyone present was a Spiritual Law master; they no longer saw ordinary people as human beings. This slaughter was just a common execution—fearsome to look at, but nowhere near as frightening as facing the demons that could threaten them.
“Roar!”
The death of ten thousand people created an astonishing gathering of Resentment. Just as Baishi Town needed, terrifying demons began to form from the bodies.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Spiritual Law masters, dense black energy converged.
A massive zombie stood up, towering at ten meters high, made up of countless corpses.
Its overwhelming malevolence forced all the weaker Spiritual Law masters to step back several paces, unable to bear the sight.
Only Yun Wen and Liu Wujing remained unfazed, showing no sign of emotion.
“Why are we creating such monsters? This is nearing chaos; won’t this cause great trouble?”
Some Spiritual Law masters, witnessing the birth of the monster, expressed fear and murmured anxiously.
“Do not worry. With the Captain present, what demons would dare to create chaos? Speak such words again, and be careful of military law!”
A captain immediately reprimanded.
The fearful Spiritual Law master lowered his head, afraid to speak further.
“Nearing chaos? It’s much more than that.”
Yun Wen frowned as he gazed at the giant zombie, not immediately taking action; this was far from sufficient!
“Roar!”
Suddenly, moonlight enveloped the giant corpse.
In the next moment,
the corpse vanished, and the terrifying oppressive feeling disappeared without a trace.
“Gone?”
“What happened?”
“No, it’s not gone; it’s… shrunk!!!”
Many Spiritual Law masters cried out in horror.
Even Yun Wen and Liu Wujing’s pupils contracted as they saw something extremely terrifying.
The sea of corpses had completely vanished.
But now standing in their place was a man with an exposed upper body.
He closed his eyes, his long white hair falling to his waist. He wore only shorts, revealing thick black patterns covering his body, which constantly shifted.
Soon, these patterns gathered together, forming on his back.
“Boom!”
The ground tore apart.
A violent wind swept across a thousand-meter radius.
As the man opened his eyes, revealing his hollow blood-red pupils, enormous black bone wings spread out, each measuring a hundred meters long.
The terrifying aura moved Yun Wen and Liu Wujing deeply.
"Guardian of the Nine Bone Spirit Grass…"
"Flying Zombie!"
They did not expect that the creature they had raised could reach such a height.
The Flying Zombie was a horrifying being that took only a half-step into the Great Disaster upon its initial birth.
They could forcefully defeat the Thousand-eyed Demon, but trying the same methods on the Flying Zombie would be utterly useless. Its nature was to live for battle, making it nearly indestructible and extremely difficult to kill.
If given a little time to grow, the Flying Zombie would surely become a Great Disaster. At that point, even a judge-level figure would struggle to be its opponent!
"This is a bit strange; Liu Wujing, can just ten thousand people raise a Flying Zombie?"
"Clearly… impossible."
As Liu Wujing spoke, the bronze mirror, a magical artifact, emitted a brilliant light, ready for battle.
"It seems this calamity truly is serious; it starts with a Flying Zombie! To resolve this calamity, we probably need at least four more beings of the same rank, each stronger than the last!"
Yun Wen and Liu Wujing, with records from their clan to refer to, knew the situation before them.
As the saying goes, "divide and conquer."
They did not know the exact cause of the calamity, but they understood how to resolve it.
The total amount of calamity energy was fixed; as long as they triggered it in advance, they could achieve their goal in stages.
This Flying Zombie represented the first calamity, and more would surely follow.
"Roar!"
The Flying Zombie let out a roar, and a curtain of moonlight fell. Everyone realized that space was changing.
The blood moon had descended.
It was as if the Flying Zombie’s blood-red pupils were gazing at everyone.
Divine Power·Blood Moon Descent!
Creating a battleground, it continuously gathered Resentment in this field of divine power!
Under the blood moon, the Flying Zombie could gain a series of terrible abilities such as teleportation, flight, resurrection, and immense strength…
What can one say? This demon was terrifying, and it must not be allowed to remain!
"Kill!"
Born from infinite resentment, the Flying Zombie directly launched into battle, rapidly approaching Yun Wen and Liu Wujing with incredible speed, causing both to change color at how fast it was moving—yet Baishi Town was already prepared for its emergence.
The members of the Spiritual Law team and the Black Armored Army instantly activated their Talismans.
The formations enveloped the battlefield, directly countering and neutralizing the Blood Moon divine power, significantly weakening the Flying Zombie’s strength.
Only then did Yun Wen and Liu Wujing spring into action, unleashing their full power in a fierce fight against the Flying Zombie. It was an all-out battle, not a half-hearted effort.
Meanwhile, the ground began to swell with undead beings and live zombies, as fallen blood gathered on these zombie bodies, painting blood patterns that greatly increased their strength.
These zombies charged towards Baishi Town, aiming to attack the city walls and devour the lives of countless people.
The Spiritual Law practitioners defending the city began a tough struggle of offense and defense.
And in the distance,
Tian Jing held his younger siblings tightly, lying in the grass, not daring to peek out for a moment.
Even as the bright sun gradually rose in the sky, illuminating the world, he felt only anger, despair, and helplessness…
Was there still a path for ordinary people to walk?
