Fantasy World: I Can Travel To Cultivation World-Chapter 222: Battlefield

The Cangzhou coalition forces rushed to the battlefield at breakneck speed. In just a few days, the fairy city of Cangzhou came into view. Continue reading stories on novelbuddy

Along the way, the tragic scenes they witnessed only deepened their sorrow.

The zombie tide was spreading faster than anyone had imagined; the closer it got to Cangzhou Fairy City, the more terrifying it became.

Under Sun Fu’s command, low-level zombies rode on sailboats, speeding across the sea, while high-level flying zombies, carried on dark clouds, wreaked havoc on the islands along the way.

The coalition forces had to eliminate several waves of these flying zombies, which cost them valuable time.

On the deck of a flying battleship, Luis frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, look!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mubai and Zhang Xuanling turned to follow the direction indicated by Luis’s finger.

The giant island housing Cangzhou Fairy City was completely surrounded by a mass of black zombies—countless black corpses encircled the entire island. The sight sent chills down everyone’s spine.

"In just a few months, it has deteriorated to this extent!" Zhou Mubai, who had fought zombies for years, could hardly believe what he saw.

Both he and Luis felt a surge of relief in their hearts; fortunately, the true target of the zombie swarm from Lotus Island was not Guang’an Prefecture, but Cangzhou Fairy City.

Otherwise, Guang’an Prefecture would never have been able to withstand such a terrifying force.

A casual glance revealed dozens of Half Step Golden Core corpse servants among the zombies. In terms of high-end combat power, the Cangzhou coalition forces had no advantage.

There was already a severe shortage of high-level cultivators in Cangzhou; the entire region had only one Golden Core cultivator, and that one had already fled.

Apart from Ye Wudao, no other Golden Core cultivators remained in Cangzhou.

After careful observation, everyone discovered that the enemy actually had 127 fighters at the Half Step Golden Core level—a force that gave them an overwhelming advantage over the coalition forces.

In contrast, the Cangzhou coalition forces had only about thirty fighters who could reach Half Step Golden Core combat power.

Among them were Zhou Mubai, Zhang Xuanling, and Taoist Huo Ling, whose strength was comparable to, or even exceeded, that of a Half Step Foundation Building cultivator.

In total, the coalition forces possessed around 70 Half Step combatants. Even if the combatants from Cangzhou Immortal City were included, their number would not exceed a hundred.

While this force might be capable of surrounding and defeating a single Golden Core cultivator, facing as many as 127 Half Step Golden Core zombies, they could not hope to gain any advantage.

The gap in high-end combat power wasn’t the most despairing factor. Compared to the Cangzhou coalition forces, the most terrifying aspect of the zombie horde was its overwhelming numbers.

Just look around—the sea, within a radius of hundreds of miles, was nearly filled with corpses. Some clung to boats, while others simply drifted along on the waves, all headed toward Cangzhou Fairy City.

"Be careful! A swarm of flying zombies!" a loud shout rang out from among the spirit boats. Luis recognized the voice as that of Zhou Minghao, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Then, a dark cloud loomed ahead, and countless flying zombies swooped down toward their spirit boat.

Everyone had faced similar situations before and had gained plenty of experience, but this time the number of zombies was far greater.

"Let me!" Zhang Xuanling shouted coldly.

Immediately, a ball of ice-blue flame rose in his palm, transforming into a blue ice phoenix. Initially, the phoenix was only as big as his palm, but as it soared toward the horde, it grew larger until its wings spanned hundreds of feet.

It moved as fast as a beam of light, and only a few of the present cultivators managed to react in time.

With his strong spiritual sense, Luis could clearly track the trajectory of the blue ice phoenix as it collided with the group of corpses.

At the moment of impact, a loud bang erupted and an extremely cold force burst forth. In an instant, the tens of thousands of corpses in front of them were frozen into ice chips by this extreme cold.

Up in the sky, the frozen corpses rained down into the mass below like hail.

Chunks of corpse, now solidified in ice, fell onto the sea, freezing the surrounding water and the surging tide of the undead.

An icy expanse several thousand feet in radius quickly formed on the sea’s surface. With this attack, at least hundreds of thousands of corpses were eliminated—a truly horrifying sight.

After one sword strike, Luis watched an ice-blue flying sword streak by like a beam of light, piercing through Zhang Xuanling’s Dantian Qi Sea.

"Good!"

"Good!!"

"Good!!"

The coalition forces erupted in cheers, and their morale soared. Initially, after executing that powerful move, Zhang Xuanling’s face had turned slightly pale.

But seeing the uplifted spirits of his comrades, he felt that the mana he had expended was well worth it.

"Brother Zhang, well done!" Zhou Mubai said with a smile.

With the wave of flying zombies blocking the road having been cleared by Zhang Xuanling’s sword strike, the Cangzhou coalition forces encountered no further obstacles and pressed directly into the defensive formation of Cangzhou Fairy City.

Now, all the cultivators and mortals were retreating into Cangzhou Immortal City. What was once a spacious fairy city was now crowded with hundreds of millions of people desperately seeking shelter.

Fortunately, the Ye family is a Golden Core family backed by a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

For this reason, the Ye family possesses a small cave. Thanks to that cave, hundreds of millions of cultivators and mortals could temporarily take refuge there.

Without it, Cangzhou Immortal City—which normally could only house millions of cultivators—would barely have room for tens of millions of people. It would be impossible to accommodate hundreds of millions.

Of course, the Ye family saved these mortals not only because most of them were their own, but also to prevent additional manpower from being added to the zombie horde.

If these hundreds of millions of mortals were to fall and be transformed into zombies, the resulting tide would be even more difficult to control. When that time comes, Cangzhou Fairy City might not even hold out until reinforcements arrive—it could be completely overwhelmed by the zombie tide.

Although the strength of each newly transformed zombie is minimal—after all, a Qi Refining cultivator can dispatch dozens—the fact that the corpses number in the billions creates a force that even Foundation Building and Golden Core cultivators find terrifying.

In any case, with Ye Wudao’s strength, he could not possibly handle a zombie tide on such a massive scale.

In fact, even with the formidable manpower of the Cangzhou coalition, the cultivators of Cangzhou Immortal City were unable to counter the incoming horde.

Everyone’s only hope was that if they could hold out long enough, the Qianyuan Sword Sect would eventually come to their rescue.

Cangzhou Fairy City.

As the spirit boats slowly landed.

Waves of cheers like tsunamis erupted in the Immortal City.

At this time, whether it was mortals or cultivators, when they saw these spirit boats, they felt as if they had seen a savior and felt a sense of relief for surviving a calamity.

But the clear-headed monks could see it.

With the number of monks carried on these spirit boats, facing such a huge swarm of corpses, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The arrival of this batch of reinforcements can at most delay the fall of Cangzhou Fairy City.

As for exterminating the zombie horde, that’s just overthinking.

and.

As time goes by, the number of zombies gathering outside Cangzhou Immortal City will only increase.

Because there are countless islands over 100,000 miles from Lotus Island to Cangzhou Fairy City, there are always some fish that have not been captured.

When these islands fall, the number of zombies will surely be even greater.

Ye family residence.

Ye Hongsheng, the chief elder of the Ye family and the person in charge of the Ye family at this time, led a group of elite monks of the Ye family and waited outside the hall.

Ye Hongsheng looked like a fifty-year-old man with a thin face, wearing a jade crown, a Taoist robe, and a fiery red spiritual armor. When he saw the coalition monks led by Zhou Minghao, he immediately showed an expression of great joy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I’ve been waiting for you to come!"

Ye Hongsheng took a few steps forward, grabbed Zhou Minghao’s hands, and said excitedly.

Zhou Minghao pulled his hands away calmly and asked coldly, "Where is Ye Wudao?"

"Well"

The embarrassment and resentment on Ye Hongsheng’s face flashed away, and then he smiled and said, "My ancestor felt that the zombie tide was strong, so he rushed to Qianyuan Sword Sect for help a few days ago. Calculating the date now, he should have arrived at Qianyuan Sword Sect!"
