Chapter 673: Chapter 447: Necromancers! _2
Her strength was immense, and as a flood dragon, her passage through the heavenly tribulation was even easier than Yun Mengxi’s. After the tribulation, she solidified a total of 188 Immortal Daoist rules, and the divine dragon aura on her became even more powerful.
Next, sisters Yue Qiluo and Yue Yuluo both took the Jiuzhuan golden elixir and soared into the sky to face the tribulation.
Liu Shishi was the fifth to face the tribulation.
Yang Yin was the sixth to face the tribulation.
Xiao Yu was the seventh, Yue Niang was the eighth, Wan Qian was the ninth, and Xiao Miao was the tenth to face the tribulation.
Xu Yang now had nine wives.
Among them, Yue Niang also brought Xiao Miao… She often joked that Xiao Miao was her “co-wife” that she brought into the marriage.
Of course.
As a person, Xu Yang treated everyone fairly and justly, and he always treated the adorable Catgirl with equal respect.
Ten women faced the tribulation, which lasted for an entire day and night.
After a day and night, Xu Yang unlocked the Daoist formations outside the stone forest and looked at the Death Plains with a slightly surprised expression, saying, “The Death Plains… seem to have changed compared to before!”
He looked ahead and saw that the Death Plains were shrouded in mist everywhere.
Within the mist, ghostly shadows flickered.

One after another, the spirits of the dead passed through the mist. These spirits seemed to have weak consciousness, forming groups and invading the stone forests one after another.
“Could it be…”
“That the undead slumbering beneath the Death Plains mentioned by the little snake have awakened?”
Xu Yang’s gaze shifted.
He activated his Heavenly Eye and observed again, finding that within the more distant mist, there were faintly powerful auras that seemed to be “Intermediate True Deities.” This made Xu Yang excited, and he couldn’t help but think, “It seems that the movement from the heavenly tribulations has awakened the vast army of undead slumbering beneath the Death Plains…”
“This is actually a good thing for me.”
He summoned the women and told them what he had seen, saying, “The undead army is currently 6,800 miles away and is advancing towards us… You all have just broken through and need to stabilize your realms, so I’ll set up a Daoist formation for you to cultivate in later. Leave dealing with them to your husband.”
Now that the women had all become immortals, their perception was extraordinary.
They looked towards the area 6,000 miles away and sensed the powerful auras in the mist, worrying, “Why should Husband argue with the undead army? Now that we sisters have broken through, we might as well leave the Death Plains and find a quieter place to cultivate and stabilize our realms.”
Xu Yang explained, “Since becoming an immortal, I haven’t had a good fight yet. Although the undead army is numerous, their top combat power is not particularly strong, so they shouldn’t pose a threat to me.”
Upon hearing this, the women didn’t try to dissuade him any further and obediently retreated back to the stone forest.
Xu Yang set up a Daoist formation to protect the women, then stepped out of the stone forest himself and advanced 800 miles forward.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground, took out his Jiao-slaying Sword and inserted it into the ground beside him. Then, he waved his hand to set up eighteen Daoist formations on his left and right, quietly waiting for the advance of the undead army.
“With the speed of the undead army, they should arrive here in about 20 minutes. In the meantime, I can take advantage of this time to further increase my strength.”
Xu Yang had a thought, and the system attribute panel appeared in front of him.

In the past two days, although Xu Yang hadn’t taken action, his merit points had been increasing and he had even gained an additional “metal” Daoist skill, not knowing where Niu Mang got it from.
Obviously.
Niu Mang had been fighting in the Three Great Realms.
One could imagine the extent of the fierce warfare in the Three Great Realms.
However, with the 72 immortals present, there was no need to worry about the Three Great Realms being breached. Among these 72 immortals, although Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er might not have much combat power, the Stellar Immortal Lords such as Sirius Star Lord had extremely strong power, each of them being at the Golden Immortal level and wielding powerful treasures.
In addition to the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, their treasures and Immortal Arts were particularly effective against Netherworld Demons.
Of course.
It wasn’t that Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er were useless.
The Heavenly Emperor had his reasons for demoting them to the mortal realm. The capabilities they displayed in such Wars were not weaker than those of the two Golden Immortals.
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -500, Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers +1.”
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -500, Liu Jin Mantra +1.”
“Ding…”
Xu Yang’s thoughts continually clicked on “Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers” and “Liu Jin Mantra,” causing the intertwining rise of the gold and wood Daoist patterns in his body.
Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers is a wood-affiliated Daoist art.
It can transform tree leaves and flower petals into weapons, using them to kill.
Liu Jin Mantra, on the other hand, is a gold-affiliated Daoist art. It is a protective technique that can turn the physical body into a Liu Jin body, comparable to Vajra Invincibility.
With Xu Yang’s current physical strength, he naturally doesn’t need such techniques for protection. What he needs is the Gold and Wood Dao.
“Five Elements Emperor’s Slash is a remarkably powerful high-grade Immortal Art, but the prerequisite for cultivation is mastering the Five Elements Immortal Dao. I’ve now condensed the three Daoist Intentions of Water, Fire, and Earth into Immortal Daoist laws, and only need to cultivate the Gold and Wood Daos to the Immortal Daoist level to start cultivating the Five Elements Emperor’s Slash!”
Xu Yang now possessed plenty of merit points.
In just 8 minutes, he had promoted these two Daoist arts to the “Divine Master” level, mastering the Gold and Wood Daos.
After that, he spent another 5 million merit points and 10 minutes to elevate the Gold Dao to the “Immortal Daoist” level.
Inside his body, a dazzling golden Immortal Daoist law was condensed once again.
In front of him, the vast army of undead had arrived.
This was two minutes faster than he had expected.
Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…
The fierce Yin wind blew past Xu Yang’s body.
The dense fog instantly enveloped him.
Within the fog, countless undead took on various forms and rushed toward Xu Yang from all directions.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged, motionless, not even opening his eyes.
The Jiao-slaying Sword was beside him, unused.
The corner of his mouth moved as he recited a series of Daoist incantations…
Mysterium of Heaven and Earth, the origin of myriad Qi.
Wide learning in innumerable kalpas, proving my divine power.
Within and beyond the Three Realms, only Dao is supreme.
My body bathed in golden light, enveloping me.
…….
Ghosts and demons lose courage, spirits vanish.
Lightning lies within, the Thunder God’s name hidden.
Insight penetrating deeply, Five Qi rising.
Golden light swiftly manifests, protecting me.
Daoist Sect’s Eight Great Divine Mantras, Golden Light Mantra!
Xu Yang hadn’t deeply cultivated the Golden Light Mantra, but with his current cultivation, using the Golden Light Mantra would unleash an incredible power. The golden light on his body bloomed like a scorching sun.
The dense fog surrounding him was instantly dispelled, and the undead that filled the skies were reduced to ashes under the golden light, wailing in the process.
However, that was just a fraction of the vast army of undead.
For a time, the system notification sounds in Xu Yang’s mind were continuous and constant. He blocked the system’s prompting sound, focusing on both using the Golden Light Mantra and enhancing “Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers.”
Soon after.
Within his body, another Immortal Daoist law emitting a green luster slowly formed.
Most importantly, the merit points on his system’s attribute panel not only did not decrease but instead broke through the 90 million mark!
That means, in just under twenty minutes, Xu Yang had earned over 10 million merit points!
It couldn’t be helped!
The undead army, being low in intelligence, mindlessly rushed towards the “Golden Light Mantra.” Most of their power was weak, and being “redeemed” could only provide Xu Yang with hundreds or thousands of merits.
But the vast number of undead made up for it!
Perhaps because too many undead were killed, a powerful aura surged from the depths of the fog. Suddenly, a figure appeared before Xu Yang.
It was a huge skeletal dragon.
Green flames burned in the eye sockets of the bone dragon.
Atop the dragon’s skull stood a Necromancer cloaked in a black robe!
