Time continued to push forward, and gradually, Wan Lei and the others could no longer sit still.
Because the undead army never seemed to decrease, but the number of zombies was dwindling.
More and more zombies had their bodies possessed by the undead. These undead, having taken over bodies, continued to charge at new zombies.
After charging at the new zombies, they wouldn't rush to destroy their bodies. Instead, two or three would hold down the target, allowing the original undead of that zombie to come over, enter its body, devour the zombie's will, and reclaim their own bodies.
However, as the battle intensified, more and more zombie bodies were destroyed. The undead whose bodies were gone, seeing they had no corporeal forms, began to wander frantically.
Finally, they spotted several physical bodies that were even better than their original ones, because these bodies were alive.
Living people were always more tempting than the dead.
The bodiless undead swarmed forward frantically, and some of the possessed undead zombies also joined the charge.
Zombies with bodies moved slightly faster than the undead. In Wan Lei's opinion, this was quite unreasonable; one was floating, the other hopped or stumbled along.
Perhaps after the union of the undead and the zombie, the speed of bodily control reached its apex.
These zombies charged first. Unfortunately, Wan Lei had neither sunflowers nor pea-shooters, so he had to fend off these zombies himself.
Wan Lei raised his hand and sent several bolts of lightning. Upon hitting the zombies, these bolts immediately scorched them black, causing them to collapse.
Lightning possessed the power to purify evil spirits. As these lightning bolts entered the zombies' bodies, they directly destroyed all the death energy and the will within them.
But Wan Lei couldn't understand why the undead, who were also evil spirits, were not afraid of lightning. Did he really have to use magic to defeat secret arts? Lightning was also considered within the realm of magic...
The Lord of Thunder finally began to realize that he was actually a mage...
Although he could easily kill zombies, Wan Lei dared not proactively seek out zombies to kill. Once the zombies were all dead and their bodies destroyed, he couldn't imagine how he would face the massive and enraged undead.
He had no more time to think, as the undead had already reached them.
At this point, his Thunder Guard was practically useless, causing no damage to the undead while the undead could freely enter the protective shield's range.
Wan Lei and the others naturally couldn't stand still and wait for the undead to possess their souls. Even with his confidence in his Thunder God's soul, seeing the dense mass of undead, he felt he couldn't withstand the gnawing of so many.
They didn't have the green aura or claws of the zombies, so their only option was to flee.
Fortunately, although these undead could fly, their speed was incredibly slow, almost to the point of being infuriating. To be precise, they were merely drifting, and Wan Lei and the others could easily outrun them.
They also tried to fly out of the graveyard. As expected, the graveyard seemed sealed by a grand formation, and they couldn't get out.
How could the task set by the immortal allow them to escape so easily?
Standing in mid-air, Wan Lei and the others watched the slowly drifting undead, truly at a loss for what to do.
"Only the undead can defeat the undead, but we don't have any undead. Why did the immortal give us an impossible task?"
Fang Xiaoyu complained indignantly, but her words reminded Wan Lei.
"No, we have undead."
Wan Lei's spirits soared. He immediately took out the Life-Governing Diagram, opened it, and a hundred female souls, burning with flames, charged out.
When Wan Lei first created the Thunder Emperor Hall, these women had their fiery bodies nurtured by the Fire Phoenix and Shiranui Kaguya with the fire of life and heart fire. Axian Yuandao also gave them seeds of Youming Cold Fire, enabling them to exist briefly in the mortal world.
When the Thunder Emperor Hall was first established, they contributed greatly. Later, as more people joined, Wan Lei recalled them into the Life-Governing Diagram. After all, they were soul bodies, and remaining outside for too long would cause great damage to their origins.
"Kill all these undead!"
With Wan Lei's command, these women charged at the undead below.
The flames on their bodies, the Youming Cold Fire that burned anything, the fire of life that countered evil spirits, and the heart fire that specifically burned souls, inflicted great damage on these dead spirits.
Most importantly, they were soul bodies, also a type of undead. According to the rules, their use of these flames against the undead was effective.
The first to bear the brunt were the undead closest to them, who had already charged forward. Under the burning flames, these undead immediately screamed and turned into ashes.
Seeing that these women were indeed effective, and that not a single undead could withstand them for long, Wan Lei's spirits soared. He summoned thunderclouds and struck at the zombies below.
Since we have a way to deal with the undead, what do we need these zombies for?
Using the undead to deal with the undead was incredibly satisfying.
The Hall Master of Ten Thousand stood high in the sky, and with a wave of his hand, the enemy was turned to dust, without him even needing to act personally.
Soon, all the zombies were annihilated by lightning. The last zombie king was also pulverized into ashes by a five-colored lightning bolt from Wan Lei.
Wan Lei's speed in eliminating the zombies far surpassed the women's speed in eliminating the undead. Seeing their physical bodies completely destroyed, the undead went mad. They roared and charged at Wan Lei and the others, surrounding them.
The women immediately retreated, protecting Wan Lei and the others in the center, using their flames to ward off the undead.
The Undead King was the most frenzied. Standing high in the sky, it continuously roared, commanding the undead to attack Wan Lei and his group.
It was at this moment that Wan Lei remembered he had made a grave mistake.
"Are you an idiot? You've killed all the zombies, and your people aren't completely eliminating the undead. Now all the undead are coming to kill you, how will you defend yourself? How will you defend yourself?!"
Dogzi was so angry he scratched Wan Lei's head. Wan Lei was annoyed and pulled it off, throwing it into the hammer.
Wan Lei knew the mistake had been made, and regret was useless. Moreover, the zombies would eventually be finished off by the undead, and he would still face this situation.
Through observation, Wan Lei noticed that every undead killed would turn into wisps of white vapor and return to the burial pits on the ground, then re-emerge as undead and rush out again.
In other words, these undead were resurrected solely by this strange land. So, what if they were made to leave this space?
Wan Lei's eyes lit up. He directly opened the Life-Governing Diagram and sucked all the undead into it.
Despite their formidable appearance, the individual combat strength of these undead was incredibly weak. They were easily and completely collected into the Life-Governing Diagram by Wan Lei.
