Chapter 2289 - 2290: Corpse Soldiers! First Update

Countless dried corpses continuously charged at Di Nantian, but only a small portion was directed toward him.

To avoid becoming the primary target of the corpses, Ye Qiu did not quickly decimate the horde of corpses. Instead, he continued to maneuver, turning the battle with the corpses into a tug-of-war.

Meanwhile, Di Nantian’s side was more intense; any corpse approaching him would instantly vanish into ashes, which left Ye Qiu astonished at Di Nantian’s combat prowess.

Ye Qiu’s figure kept flashing, navigating the scene. Soon, he shouted, and suddenly, the place where he stood burst with light, revealing a massive energy shield.

Ye Qiu had set up a formation while skirmishing with the corpses. Now, the formation activated, blocking a large portion of the corpses outside, with only a small part covered within.

After clearing out the corpses within the formation, Ye Qiu idly watched the activity on Di Nantian’s side.

With the formation’s barrier, the corpses were kept outside, allowing Ye Qiu to rest.

Why are there so many corpses here? What happened here in the past?

Ye Qiu was greatly puzzled by the appearance of numerous corpses, pondering whether it concealed some astounding secret.

Ye Qiu was unaware of all this, but at the moment, these corpses were remarkably helpful, obstructing Di Nantian’s advance.

Sadly, the corpses were somewhat lacking in attack power. Despite their vast numbers, they still couldn’t pose a lethal threat to Di Nantian.

Watching the clash between Di Nantian and the corpses, Ye Qiu found himself momentarily distracted, recalling scenes from when he transitioned from Earth to the moon and encountered many corpses there too.

Moreover, those corpses once helped him fend off a terrifying opponent.

Reflecting on this, Ye Qiu flipped his hand and produced a special weapon.

Death Horn!

The Death Horn, resembling an ox horn, was held by Ye Qiu in his hand, casting a cold gleam that was somewhat glaring.

Throughout Ye Qiu’s journey, he hadn’t relied much on the Death Horn’s power. While not as practical as the Taihuang Clock and Bahuang Sword, its primary use was targeting the dead and ghosts, having little effect on the living.

Thus, Ye Qiu seldom used the Death Horn against opponents, but seeing the abundance of corpses today, he remembered owning a supreme treasure related to the dead, contemplating whether it might aid him here.

Ye Qiu began trying to use the Death Horn to control the corpses, first letting in one corpse and then activating the Death Horn.

Controlling the corpses via the Death Horn required technique, a knowledge Ye Qiu possessed since acquiring the artifact.

The sound of the Death Horn echoed, causing the corpse initially charging at Ye Qiu to suddenly halt, then starting to perform various actions in tune with the horn.

On one side, Ye Qiu practiced controlling corpses, while on the other, Di Nantian continued slaughtering the hordes. His attack capacity was massive, yet he remained surrounded by layers of corpses.

The disturbance Di Nantian created seemed large enough to awaken all surrounding corpses. The sheer number was, at least tens of thousands, judging by the densly packed masses.

Not long after, Ye Qiu let several more corpses in. These corpses charged fiercely upon seeing him, but calmed down immediately upon his actuation of the Death Horn.

In a blink, the number of corpses under Ye Qiu’s control increased significantly, as he attempted to open the formation and control all surrounding corpses.

Soon, the corpses originally attacking Ye Qiu fell under the Death Horn’s sway and, under his control, turned to attack Di Nantian.

Engaged in battle with numerous corpses, Di Nantian suddenly noticed, in a flash of divine light, that he was encircled layer upon layer by corpses, while Ye Qiu remained leisurely untouched by them.

This soured Di Nantian’s mood considerably; he strengthened his strikes and advanced toward Ye Qiu, decimating every corpse obstructing his path.

Seeing Di Nantian rushing at him, Ye Qiu continued retreating, simultaneously activating the Death Horn to employ more corpses to his advantage.

A vast line of corpses formed to block Di Nantian’s way, now more valiant and skilled under Ye Qiu’s control.

Yet, Ye Qiu discovered Di Nantian was still closing in despite the efforts.

Di Nantian’s attacks proved overwhelmingly powerful; the corpses were obliterated within a few strikes.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Di Nantian reached him.

Ye Qiu intensified the output of the Death Horn, expanding its resonant effect.

With the sound of the Death Horn echoing throughout the deathly star field, humanoid figures began rising on surrounding planets and stars.

Even some non-humanoid, colossal monsters started appearing.

Observing this, Ye Qiu felt ecstatic; these monstrous corpses evidently surpassed humanoid ones in prowess, so he immediately controlled them to assault Di Nantian.

Just as Di Nantian seemed poised to break free, a sky-full of corpses emerged once more, encircling him anew.

Unlimited killing intent stirred within Di Nantian’s heart; he realized the corpses could be directed by Ye Qiu.

Of course, this was due to the Death Horn, yet a weapon is part of one’s strength, after all.

Fuming about Ye Qiu controlling the corpses to attack, Di Nantian felt both angry and frustrated—why did such a treasure fall into Ye Qiu’s hands? Otherwise, he would have already broken through the encirclement and slain him.

Alas, he possessed no similar treasure to control the corpses.

A treasure with Death Horn’s capabilities is rare, requiring corpses to unleash its power. If such relics appeared in the ancestral land, they’d be hidden promptly. For one, weapons like this were utterly ruthless, using the dead as soldiers, akin to the Black Plague sect refining Saint weapons from saint corpses; secondly, such treasures seemed sinister, akin to dark magic, largely perceived unfavorably by most.

Di Nantian smashed the corpses with fists and feet, despite Ye Qiu’s controlled improvements, he struggled with the few monstrous corpses causing him minor trouble.

Nearby, Ye Qiu maintained use of the Death Horn, summoning even more corpses onto the battlefield.

Truly, with the continued sound of the Death Horn, more and more corpses converged, even making Ye Qiu’s scalp tingle at the sight.

This sea of corpses tactic might wear Di Nantian down here.

Ye Qiu reflected internally.
