Chapter 537: The Embers in the Depths of the Soul

gle.One is physical damage caused by the greatsword, and the other is burning damage from the flames.Two damages added together, one-third of the land and air's blood was gone in an instant.Does this...The situation in Blackrock City is still manageable, and the Claw Demon nest beneath Wu Yuan City was already cleared by land and air before.

But the situation in other areas is not optimistic.

Outside the wilderness of each sub-city, legions of undead marched toward the sub-cities. Wherever they passed, the thick death power caused all things to wither and decay.

Creatures were frantically fleeing, even the demonized creatures followed their instincts and kept away from these undead monsters.

Creatures unable to escape were devoured by the undead army, and subsequently brought back to life by the power of death, joining the ranks of the undead.

These armies dispersed, heading towards various subordinate cities, newbie villages, and indigenous settlements.

Where it passes, mourning is everywhere.

Some players haven't left the newbie village yet. Looking at the dense army of undead rushing over, they didn't even have time to react before they were killed.

Then, the novice village where they were also turned into ruins in an instant.

Players from the three tribes—Starborne Humans, Shimmering Starstone Dwarves, and Blackwood Tigerfolk—appear utterly powerless against the endless tide of undead.

At this moment, several players from all three factions have reached level three. The Blackwood Star Tigers and the Various Stars Human are fine because Wu Yuancheng and Heishi City don't need them to defend, so they can go to help with the secondary main cities.

Because the entire Hunter's Novice Continent is extremely vast, most of the undead army's forces are concentrated on large main cities. The undead attacking secondary main cities and novice villages are not very powerful, mostly level one and two, and some are even temporary converted apprentice undead.

Tier three players, in the face of such a massive undead army, could still play a role.

Especially players from the StarCraft human race.

Because the Star-bearers have joined the Interstellar Commerce Guild, they can exchange various resources and gold coins for needed items, including equipment, skill stones, attribute stones, etc.

Even though they are beings from another star, humans are still players after all. Players can defeat monsters and get loot, so the resources they have in their hands aren't much weaker than some large indigenous races.

Of course, this refers to low-level materials, such as epics, legends, and celestial-grade materials. Naturally, the Star Humans can't produce many of these.

But even just low-level materials and gold coins can allow them to exchange for a lot of good things, allowing the top players to be strengthened first, and ordinary players can also see significant improvement.

Although the time is short, just in this period, the strength of each Star Citizen player has improved significantly!

With the return of Tier 3 players like Ka Mora to the secondary main city, coupled with the defensive magic circle of the previous level's main city, it could even withstand terrifying undead attacks.

As for the Blackwood Star Tigermen, they were fortunate that Wu Yuanting wasn't attacked by a large undead army. The powerful natives of Wu Yuanting could use teleportation arrays to support the secondary main city.

Compared to the players of various human races who still need to rely on themselves, the Black Star Tiger people who have a large number of native strong supporters are actually more stable.

The top experts of the indigenous people in the secondary main city took action, and most of the Blackwood Star Tigers rushed to the Newbie Village, ensuring that as many people as possible in the Newbie Village could be saved.

Compared to the Black Star Tigers and the Eachna Stars, the Half-Shiny Stone People are by far the most unlucky.

East Ming City was caught off guard and directly breached by a large army of undead through the sewers, surging into the city.

The large city's defensive formations were as if nonexistent!

The indigenous warriors, driven to desperation, could only retaliate within the city walls.

This resulted in a large number of buildings being destroyed and many indigenous people dying within the main city.

Where the undead legions march, it is like hell on earth.

Unlike indigenous people and players, once their spirits are extinguished, they will be gone forever and there is no possibility of revival.

Even so, facing a vast army of undead, they had no choice but to stand and fight.

Because Dongming City is their home.

If they did not resist, in the face of the overwhelming undead horde, perhaps some of the strong ones could escape. But what about their clans who were left behind

What will happen to their homes

Moreover, the sheer number of undead was overwhelming. Even if they escaped the main city and lost the protection of the defensive magic array, how could some weaker indigenous people escape the pursuit of the undead

Besides the pursuit of undead, all sorts of demonized creatures and semi-intelligent beings in the wild are equally ferocious.

For indigenous people, these game creatures are not friendly, and even a slight misstep can lead to death.

They have no way out.

The Lord of Dongming City was a towering crystal being, his body radiating with diamond-like brilliance, forming an unbreakable shield.

He held a crystal sword and shield, single-handedly holding back three fourth-order peak holy spirits.

Three Plague Claw Demons and powerful members of the Pale Congregation attacked, driving the Lord Mayor of Dongming City back again and again. Fragments of crystal kept falling from his body.

Even so, the lord of Dongming City still roared with fury, burning his own power to parry and counterattack.

He was not only the lord of Dongming City, but other strong people in Dongming City also faced attacks from one or even several Corrupted Claw demons or Pale Church members or undeads. Blood dyed the sky red, and the entire sky was shrouded in various colors of light.

The enraged roars and pained growls echoed throughout the entire Dongming City.

The battle beneath the sky grew even more brutal. Aboriginal adventurers, guards, and even ordinary residents all took up arms, holding their ground in the streets and alleys against the onslaught of undead and corrupted claws demons.

One of the top powers in Dongming City, a manor belonging to a dark pattern human.

A large number of human elites with dark patterns relied on the manor's defensive formation to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the hordes of Corrupted Claw Demons.

Boom!!

With a tremor, the defensive barrier shattered. The Corrupted Claw Demon snarled ferociously and charged into the manor.

At the head of the Dark Patterned tribe stood a powerful human warrior, his face contorted in fury. He brandished his staff and roared, “For the survival of our clan! Slay these damned demons!”

Just then, a faint cough sounded, clear and audible even amidst the chaos.

This caused the onslaught of the corrupted claw demons to pause, some cautiously eyeing the human who had suddenly appeared before them.

All the strong human members of the Dark Vein Clan stared at the aged figure that had suddenly appeared before them, their bodies stiffened and their faces instantly changed dramatically.

The leader of the Dark Patterned Clan, a powerful human at the forefront, hurriedly said: "Ancestor! How did you come out!!"

Back then, the Dark Ink Clan was exterminated by demons. The remnants of their souls, pulled from the real universe into the game world by cosmic will, were not many in number. Most of them had already died.

This is the only remaining soul, the beginning of the Dark Pattern clan in the cosmic game, and the only connection between their Dark Pattern clan and the real universe.

This lingering soul has survived for many years. Although it was a powerful being in its day, the strength of its spirit is finite and it is now at its end.

Under normal circumstances, this restless spirit wouldn't move, but would be meditating in the deepest part of the manor.

Even many younger generations of the Dark Patterned clan don't know that such an ancestor is hidden within the manor.

At this moment, the beginning of the Dark Vein clan lineage walks out from the deepest part of the manor.

The ghostly figure of the Ink Clan was hunched, its face creased with wrinkles and its eyes clouded. The light of its soul flickered like a dying candle in the wind.

But as his gaze swept over the corrupted claws before him, his soul seemed to be ignited by something. His clouded eyes gradually became clear and bright.

That is the memory buried deepest in the heart of a lingering soul.

The universe we experience is a sparkling cosmos, sunrise and sunset, gentle breezes and waves, the laughter of family.

The same, also the blood and fire brought by the demons from the heavens, are screams and roars, ruins and corpses all over the ground.

The beauty and hatred from the deepest part of the soul gradually burned from a spark, turning into raging flames.

The remnants of the Darkweave clan stood tall, their hunched frame straightening. Their aged face was restored to its youthful appearance, as if time had never passed. Their kin still shone in the starry expanse.

The remnants of the Dark Vein Clan emanated an overwhelmingly powerful aura. Even the fourth-tier peak holy spirits in the sky cast wary glances, their faces contorting in alarm.

The corners of his mouth rose, a smile gradually becoming grotesque: “I’ve been clinging on for dear life, all to get the chance to see your faces again someday. I never thought before I died, I’d actually get my wish!”ke eternal night.Moreover, in the Eternal Night Forest, evil spirits will occasionally appear. The level of these evil spirits is generally level three and they randomly appear in any area, even in le...
