Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Yan Yu once again unleashed the Sword Gang, shredding the surrounding ghosts to pieces.

While both were wide-range attack methods, the Sword Gang was more economical in True Yuan consumption compared to the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation. However, these ghostly creatures were endless, and using extra True Yuan on them was a pure waste.

More crucial than dealing with these enemies was figuring out what kind of situation he was currently in.

Yan Yu had been flying eastward, and by his estimates of speed and time, he should have seen the eastern coast by now.

But all that lay ahead in his view were expansive fields and forests, intersected by crisscrossing city streets. Could it be that he was no longer on the original Earth?

He suddenly turned his head to see a massive shadow looming large enough to block out the sky. The squirming flesh and blood of the creature opened wide like a mountain of a bloody maw.

Giant Snake.

Although its form was somewhat abstract, this monster's appearance most closely resembled a snake. Its massive body had no limbs and relied purely on slithering movements, crushing everything in its path—buildings, walls, vehicles, trees—without exception.

Facing the attacking Giant Snake, Yan Yu suddenly realized what kind of invisible enemy Liu Longtao had dealt with before.

He swiftly performed a sword technique; the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation was summoned, with countless Sword Qi appearing around the Giant Snake as if attempting to bind a giant whale in a dense fishing net.

Slash!

The Sword Formation cut into the Giant Snake's body like a sharp blade through cloth. The spatial cutting attribute of the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation ignored the Giant Snake's defense, causing masses of foul blood and flesh to fall off.

Yan Yu's brows suddenly twitched as he noticed the enormous wound starting to rapidly regenerate, nearly healing halfway in an instant.

So it really has an Undying Body?

Or perhaps there is some mechanism in this world that protects this giant beast from being killed.

Yan Yu decided not to continue the battle, quickly uniting with his sword to speed away, scanning the surroundings with his Divine Sense.

In reality, Chen Lingyun, flying with her sword, arrived at Chongying and suddenly received a message from Lu Country:

Yan Yu has appeared again.

Like Liu Longtao before him, he was battling some invisible thing. The Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation was wildly slashing and cutting, turning the surrounding houses and streets into pieces.

But the presence of the invisible thing left no traces. The houses, vehicles, streets, and roads were all destroyed by Yan Yu's Sword Formation. Even a bird leaves a trace; how could such a giant thing chase Yan Yu without any environmental damage?

Several speculations quickly flashed through Chen Lingyun's mind. But to verify them, she had to catch up with Yan Yu as soon as possible.

She pushed her Sword Flight to the extreme, turning into a streak of purple sword light that disappeared instantly.

————————

Yan Yu finally left the Giant Snake behind.

Lord Master was last observed disappearing inside a building, and he was currently hiding in a second-floor bedroom of another house, breathing quietly, pressing against the wall, and watching the Giant Snake slither past the window. Its enormous red eyes, as big as lanterns, darted left and right.

He stood perfectly in the blind spot of the window's line of sight, staying silent.

After scanning briefly and finding nothing, the red eyes at the window slowly moved away.

Yan Yu did not relax his guard, continuing to scan outside with his Divine Sense. Suddenly, he remembered something:

Lord Master last disappeared at a house shown intact on the satellite image, but when he arrived, it had been cut top to bottom...

Suddenly, the sound of wood beams being brutally snapped resounded above. Giant sharp fangs pierced the roof, crashing through load-bearing columns and the second-floor floorboards, stabbing straight into the ground floor foundation, subsequently tearing half the house apart and throwing it aside.

The bloodthirsty snakehead lowered into the gaping hole in the house, probing everywhere while knocking over a recliner, wardrobe, and television to check behind for anyone hiding.

After a while, not finding any prey, the fleshly snakehead finally collapsed and exploded, turning into countless office workers, students, laborers, and elders, falling like a torrential rain to the ground.

They slowly got up, moving stiffly like zombies, muttering to themselves:

"Where are you? Where are you?"

These humanoid monsters muttered to themselves and quickly scattered like birds and beasts, soon disappearing.

After a moment, Yan Yu phased through the wall from under the floor, sighing to himself.

Now, like Lord Master, he was trapped in this bizarre and strange world.

Revealing his whereabouts recklessly would draw these humanoid monsters. Killing too many of them would transform them into an Undying Body Giant Snake... The most troublesome part was this Undying Body: its regeneration outpaced damage, making it unbeatable.

Strictly speaking, an invincible Undying Body shouldn't exist, so he needed to find its true weakness.

Yan Yu took out his phone, finding the signal extremely weak but not completely unavailable, and tried to dial a call.

"Hello?" Chen Lingyun's overly sweet voice came through the phone.

"Lord Master's intel was mostly accurate," Yan Yu said. "I'm also trapped here. The monsters can disguise as humans but have no normal communication ability. After being killed, they turn into an Undying Body Giant Snake with extremely fast regeneration. I haven't found a way to kill it yet. I'll continue investigating; don't come."

"Understood," Chen Lingyun said. "I'll come to you."

"Hey, I told you not to come!" Yan Yu wasn't done speaking when he heard her say:

"I'm better at reconnaissance than you."

She wasn't wrong. The reconnaissance ability of Necromancers was among the best in the Envoys. Scattering a mass of ghostly creatures outside like a flower girl, combined with the Ear and Eye Communication secret technique, easily covered a radius of hundreds of miles.

Even if discovered by monsters or Giant Snakes, the ghosts could be sacrificed; it didn't matter. The Prison Banner always had plenty of ghosts.

No matter how strong Yan Yu's combat abilities were, faced with the Undying Body Lai Pi Snake, he had no strategy. Instead, investigating the environment and finding weaknesses was Chen Lingyun's forte, utterly surpassing him. Just as he was about to agree, he realized the call had already been disconnected.

The signal bar had also dropped to zero.

Yan Yu didn't hesitate long, quickly deciding to leave his hiding spot. Waiting passively wasn't his style. Moreover, the hidden Lord Master was still not found.

He quickly flew out in a Sword Flight, skimming close to the ground, keeping his phone ready, planning to immediately call Old Liu if he got a signal.

Signal's back!

Yan Yu's spirits lifted, having already opened the call interface, dialing Liu Longtao. Suddenly, he saw a fashionable but vacant-eyed girl flash in front of him, muttering:

"There you are?"

Behind her, countless humanoid beings flashed into view, varying in age and gender, and their murmurs combined into a rushing roar:

"There you are? There you are? There you are?"

"Hello!" The phone call finally connected, Lord Master's low voice coming through, "Old Yan, keep your voice down, I've got a situation."

"Oh." Yan Yu quickly covered the phone's microphone, "Where are you?"

"I'll send you a signal, grab the location now." Liu Longtao abruptly hung up.

After a moment, the satellite location came through.

Yan Yu quickly calculated the coordinates while flying at high speed, soon locking onto a specific direction and speeding forward.

Examining Liu Longtao's movement trajectory via satellite images earlier, Lu Country had determined that the monster's flight speed was incredibly fast, comparable to Sword Control Technique. Experiencing it firsthand, he realized these humanoid monsters simply refreshed right next to you, making them impossible to shake off.

Yan Yu initially tried to dodge left and right, avoiding monsters flashing directly in his path. When surrounded and unable to escape, he unleashed a Sword Gang to clear the area, killing all nearby monsters while silently counting their numbers.

Upon killing around eight hundred, he indeed saw the blood and flesh Giant Snake appear behind him. Without a word, he united with his sword and sped away, becoming a radiant streak.

In the distant city, Liu Longtao was hiding in an office in a skyscraper, secretly calling Lu Country's experts.

He had gathered more information, such as the closer the monsters got, the stronger the phone signal would become and vice versa until it became inaccessible.

In spatial terms, an increased signal meant he was closer to reality, so the world's exit had to be hidden within the Giant Snake.

Considering its invincible nature, Liu Longtao felt hesitant. Even as a Golden Core True Man with ample True Yuan, he couldn't waste it here. What if the battlefield suddenly changed when he was low on True Yuan?

Perhaps with more people, they could overpower the Giant Snake's regeneration speed through stronger attacks. For instance, Yan Yu's Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation was very effective, cutting through space, ignoring defenses...

"Old Yan, hurry up!" Liu Longtao urged Yan Yu via text.

"On my way!" Yan Yu replied.

"Be careful; these monsters can disguise themselves as humans!" Liu Longtao kept typing, "They're souls sacrificed to the Orochi. If you encounter them, flee at full speed, don't kill! Killing too many brings the Giant Snake forth!"

"Got it!" Yan Yu responded, "I've already killed too many!"

Liu Longtao: ?

The next second, the entire office level was violently breached from outside!

Caught off guard, Liu Longtao barely steadied himself with Sword Control when he saw the blood and flesh Giant Snake crashing into the skyscraper, coil its body, and aimed its head at him, preparing to pounce.

"Old Yan, you've killed me!" Liu Longtao screamed pitifully.

The Giant Snake finally shot forth like lightning, seemingly about to bite Lord Master, but in the next instant, it was split into pieces. Yan Yu had precisely placed the Yin-Yang Dust Sword Formation right in front of it, instantly slicing its front half into thousands of fragments.
