Chapter 1230 - 1230 1229 Broken Dragon Cliff

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1229 Broken Dragon Cliff Chapter 1230: Chapter 1229 Broken Dragon Cliff “Is this a complete map change they’ve given me?”

Sensing the reach of my perception, which had spread out like ripples, I was struck by the feedback of over a hundred breaths before I’d even crossed a kilometer.

The deeper I delved, the denser the breaths became, even mingled with the presence of several great demons.

Such ‘density’ was a hundred, even a thousand times greater than any demon realm Han Dong had crossed on his journey. The sudden increase in monsters was far from normal.

Han Dong could be certain this had a close connection to the Transverse Mountain Range.

It was as if this place marked a natural boundary line.

With that in mind,

Han Dong immediately stood up and walked toward the edge of the cliff.

During the journey, he unexpectedly discovered a “Stone Stele” some hundreds of meters away, its text legible through the Demon Eye.

“Broken Dragon Cliff…”

Han Dong suddenly thought of something and, making use of the “Floating Corpse Internal Classic,” continued to ascend.

Roughly two hundred meters into the “Floating,” he got a new perspective on the world.

“It’s not any natural mountain range, nor the imaginary ‘world’s stairway’ I pictured, but rather a large piece of the earth that has been ‘excavated’…”

Although Han Dong couldn’t get an aerial view of the full extent of the ‘excavated’ region,

based on the “Broken Dragon Cliff” extending to infinity on both sides with a certain arc, he could almost confirm it wasn’t just that the landscape had risen as his group walked. Instead, the corresponding land at the base of the Corpse Country had been dug away in one piece.

“If that’s really the case,

then does that mean the over six hundred miles we’ve traveled from the [Barracks] to the “Broken Dragon Cliff” are all part of the ‘excavated’ area? Does the land above Broken Dragon Cliff belong to the original world?

Where has the dug-up land gone?

The combined area of the Corpse Country and the surrounding Floating Islands can’t account for that size, right?”

For some reason, a bizarre image popped into Han Dong’s mind:

“A giant coffin lid descends from the heavens, perfectly covering the ‘excavated area,’ forming a natural grand terrestrial coffin.”

“Hmm? What was that image just now?

Was it my intuition, or fragments of memory from being born a zombie in this world, or some hint from practicing the ‘Floating Corpse Internal Classic’?

The latter is more likely, considering my body is just that of an ordinary island inhabitant.

Right!

Academician Du, the creator of ‘Floating Corpse Internal Classic’, was one of the late emperor’s most trusted officials, his right-hand man… and that’s precisely why Academician Du’s ‘Floating Corpse Internal Classic’ could bypass the Ministry of Officials’ screening process and be listed as a special Corpse Collection.

It is said he even once saved the emperor’s life.

Such an important person would likely not be pressed into ‘corpse oil’ after death; it’s more probable that his whole body would be preserved.

If Academician Du’s brain tissue remains relatively intact, I might use it to complete the ‘Floating Corpse Internal Classic’ or even to uncover the secrets of the world’s nature and find the cause of the uncontrolled threat.

Information regarding corpses should be available from Wang Shiheng, a former Minister of the Ministry of War, who might even give me some very direct insights.

If the flash that just passed through my mind is true and some big shot has made the earth his coffin and the sky his lid, then I must be cautious… Offending such a big shot would undoubtedly result in death.”

The threat of the out-of-control forces surged higher in Han Dong’s heart.

And just then,

Boom! A loud noise came from the bottom of the cliff, vibrating the upper part so noticeably that the nearby vegetation shook violently.

Immediately, Han Dong turned his gaze toward the depths of the forest, where a ‘green tide’ was surging toward him.

“Damn!”

Without the support of Maritzis, Han Dong dared not use Void transmission at will, or his energy would be drained in just a few attempts.

He had to descend normally.

The situation at the bottom was not the ‘evenly matched’ battle Han Dong had anticipated, but was completely one-sided…

The unfortunate intelligence agent, Dwarf Zombie Zhu Wen, had been beaten into a deformity by the club in Zhang Xiliang’s hand; a poisonous snake that had burrowed into a wound had bitten through the heart, killing him instantly.

As for Zhang Xiliang, he beamed with manic laughter as he displayed his war trophies.

‘Flying Knife Rat’ Chang Lian had been turned into “meat jelly,” encased in several meters of ice.

The head, spine, body trunk, and limbs were forcibly torn apart within the ice; even with the Black Elixir prolonging life, he wouldn’t survive more than an hour.

Of course, Luo Gaocheng had paid a considerable price to seal the target, with a huge wound at his waist and abdomen area, stabilized solely by freezing… Had it been any other zombie, it would have been successfully bisected.

‘Stone Mountain’ Xu Zhiwei, this zombie who possesses immense defense power and crushes his targets with heavy pressure, stood there dazedly… His body was slowly turning into a fine powder with the wind, all because his heart was gone.

It seemed that Chen Xinying had revealed her ‘Black Tower true form’ during the fight.

Currently, some spirit-like substances lingered on her body’s surface… At the same time, she held a heavy and fat-drenched Black Elixir in her hand, and there were no wounds on Xu Zhiwei’s body.

Two executioners had been killed.

Only Feng Kui, serving as the ‘second in command’ of the barracks and the direct contact between the barracks and the Central Military Department, was still holding on desperately.

The commotion just now had been caused by him, tearing out an exaggerated wave-shaped crater in the mountain wall.

It must be said.

Feng Kui’s ‘Black Flesh’ possessed strong ‘death resistance’; under attacks of various forms, even with multiple fatal wounds, he could continue to support himself through body transfers.

Pfft!

A mouthful of foul-smelling black corpse fluid sprayed onto the ground.

Feng Kui attempted to charge forward but fell to his knees on the spot due to an unsupportable sensation.

The sense of powerlessness also made him calm down and re-examine the situation before him… The strong subordinates he had brought were all killed, and he could feel himself over-consuming corpse energy, with his body reaching its limits.

“I, Feng Kui, am going to die here… truly worthy of ‘Mechanical Ascension.'”

Just as he was preparing to perish the cauldrons and sink the boats,

An invaluable “Invisibility Amulet” landed in front of him. Feng Kui had dealings with Taoist Masters in the Ministry of War and could recognize the type of talisman paper at a glance.

At the same time, a voice came from above:

“Everyone quickly stick on the invisibility talismans and find somewhere to hide! The monster horde is coming!”

Feng Kui looked up.

The source of the voice was the young zombie floating above, who had not joined the fight.

‘Floating’, ‘Power Transformation’… These keywords had given Feng Kui some speculation about the young zombie, but he didn’t quite understand why he was thrown an invisibility talisman.

But there was no time to consider so much, he immediately attached the talisman, confirmed there was no problem with it, and hid behind a large rock nearby.

Others also applied their talismans in succession and hid in different locations.

Immediately afterward, an exaggerated scene appeared from above… A dense mass of vines hung down from the mountain space, from a distance forming a green waterfall on the edge of the cliff.

Various bizarre monsters descended one after another along the vines.

The ‘monster tide’ also included three ‘Great Demons’ emitting powerful auras.

Among them, the most exaggerated was a black bear over twenty meters tall.

Silver Scale Heavy Armor,

Heavy Hammer made of piled skulls,

It landed with a jump without the aid of the vines, causing a violent tremor within ten miles.

Upon landing, it roared furiously: “Who dares to damage Broken Dragon Cliff! Seeking death!”
