Above the Withered Wood Forest, there is a thick, gray-black smoke.
These smokes are purely the power of The Undead. If a creature happens to die here, it will transform into an Undead within a day or two.
At the same time, this place has a strong suppressive effect on all living beings.
Inside and outside the Withered Wood Forest, it seems like two completely different worlds. The white bones in the forest are as common as stones in nature.
This place that should have been deathly silent is now incredibly lively, filled with the roars of Monsters and sinister laughter.
At the center of the Withered Wood Forest, there is a massive meat mountain Monster standing several tens of meters tall. Its entire body is covered in pale blood hands and its enormous weight makes it difficult for it to stand, leaving it in a sitting position.
On the skin of this meat mountain Monster, there are ferocious, gaping mouths of all kinds—human men, women, as well as cats, dogs, rats, and snakes.
Each mouth seems to possess independent consciousness, calling out different names, making the atmosphere chaotic and noisy.
Anyone who hears this call, unless extraordinarily powerful or too far away, will find themselves drawn to this place within days, to meet a grim fate.
It comes from the Inner World and is called the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain!
Under the massive body of the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain are nearly a thousand various Undead.
They are orderly distributed around the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain, executing orders from the Crimson Overlord.
Every moment, called lives enter the Withered Wood Forest, walking dazedly toward the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain.
Meanwhile, tall, massive Undead wielding huge dual blades and with fierce twin horns will intercept and slay these people!
These horned Undead are merely the start of the process. Seconds after a kill, a Soul Snatcher monster climbs onto the corpse, absorbing all its Soul and essence of flesh.
Finally, only a skeletal body remains, which will be sent to the final station, where a Death Sorcerer will convert the remaining parts into new Undead.
There are ten such processes around the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain.
A young man in red, with three tiny, spiral horns on his head, sits on a throne made of flesh and blood, watching everything coldly.
This throne is right on top of the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain!
This red-clad youth is the right-hand man of the Crimson Overlord, holding a position in the Dim Domain that is second to none.
He is here to ensure the smooth running of this ’factory.’
At the Gan Zhe Temple, they breed living humans and execute one every day to gather faith, helping the Crimson Overlord condense Divinity before becoming a god.
This factory, however, aims to use the energy of living beings in a specific state, to provide the Crimson Overlord with the energy necessary for deification!
Although there are many places to collect faith, this specific living energy can only be gathered through the abilities of the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain.
Many monsters in the Inner World conduct large-scale blood sacrifices when they wish to become gods; however, even if this allows them to become a god, they end up as powerful blood-thirsty lunatics.
The Crimson Overlord wants to become a god but doesn’t want to lose himself afterward.
A horned Undead, slightly weary, stares at the long queue.
For it, killing is a joyful affair, but when killing turns into work, it’s somewhat tiring.
Suddenly, it sees a superpower user at the end of the queue!
And judging by the strength wave emanating from him, this superpower user’s Level is not low!
Slaughtering a superpower user can provide as much energy as dozens or hundreds of ordinary people!
Moreover, killing a superpower user is much more fun than killing an ordinary person, which excites the horned monster from the depths of its heart.
So it bypasses everyone else and drags Chu Wei from the end of the line to the front.
Undoubtedly, Chu Wei’s ability has influenced it.
Although Chu Wei is at the end, since this involves death, the first to die will certainly be Chu Wei.
The Monster raises its sharp dual blades stained with mottled Blood Sacrifice marks, grinning as it makes gestures before simultaneously swinging both blades for a bisecting cut and decapitation!
The unconscious Chu Wei, naturally powerless to resist, is cut into three parts.
The horned Monster can feel Chu Wei’s energy dissipating, prompting it to laugh maniacally.
But as it laughs, something feels off.
Because Chu Wei’s head, after rolling on the ground, blinks at it twice as if awakening from a deep dream.
Then his two legs stand by themselves, moving to the torso to pick up the upper body, and the complete body then picks up the head, placing it onto the neck.
Chu Wei then shakes his head, finding the angle incorrect, so he removes his head again, turns it in a circle, and places it back on.
The horned monster and other nearby monsters stare blankly at Chu Wei, wondering if they are the Undead or if this guy is The Undead?
Chu Wei shakes his head, taking time to figure out the current situation.
He only remembers traveling with Wu Liu and others to the vicinity of Qingqin Prairie, searching for the source of the mysterious call.
Afterward, he accidentally took a nap and had a beautiful dream that was so pleasant he didn’t want to wake up.
In the dream, a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a translucent dress, spoke to Chu Wei with a voice sweeter than ’Biluochun Scroll’, smiling:
"Catch me, if you catch me, I’ll let you—hehehe."
So Chu Wei chased and chased, never able to catch up.
Just as he was about to catch up, Chu Wei was grinning foolishly when he suddenly turned into three pieces...
Upon waking up, seeing the Hell-like surroundings, Chu Wei realized he was probably ensnared, and the beautiful dream was just a dream.
The red-clad youth glanced at Chu Wei, not particularly concerned.
Just another superpower user freed from the Demonic Speech Meat Mountain’s enchantments. The monsters below could easily tear this one to pieces; it wasn’t worth his attention.
Chu Wei briefly assessed the situation; if he were to fight personally, he could probably kill this machete-wielding guy, and maybe deal with the Soul Snatcher monster too, but that Death Sorcerer...
Moreover, these three are merely the ’factory’s’ guardian Undead, with hundreds to thousands of ferocious monsters outside; his small stature wouldn’t even fill the gaps of their teeth.
Even though he could revive infinitely, taking down all these creatures is almost impossible.
This made Chu Wei’s expression serious as he decided to reveal his trump card!
This trump card Chu Wei had not intended to use, as it was too cruel, but now there was no other way.
