Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

Chapter 174 vs. the Undead Scourge, Where Did the Human Powerhouses Go? (6k) (Please Subscribe)

The war in the rear triggered a zombie horde uprising.

Upon discovering this situation, the powerful zombies had no choice but to divide their forces, causing the zombie horde to split up.

As time went on, the number of uninvited guests behind them increased again. In just a short while, they could see that on the distant horizon, there were not only eerie green dots of light, but also dark red and eerie white lights, which had become a dense mass.

Their ability to mass produce troops is no less than that of a zombie horde!

"Quick! Find out what's going on!?"

Xu Tianran was incredibly excited!

As a result, even though he was shouting like that, he couldn't wait for anyone else to make any move. He snatched the telescope from the minister next to him, rose from his wheelchair, and looked in that direction.

Who would have thought that just a moment ago he was laughing, but in less than a second his face turned deathly pale.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?!" Xu Tianran's change in expression startled the ministers around him.

This unusual occurrence alerted the others, who all picked up their telescopic soul-guided devices and looked around.

As a result, their reactions after watching it were exactly the same.

"Sister Bone Robe, are you sure those are reinforcements?"

Xiao Hongchen held the telescope, then put it down in a daze, turned his head in a daze, and stared blankly at Ye Guyi. He also swallowed the words, "I think it's the new masterpiece of those lunatics," in a daze.

Ye Guyi frowned deeply!

"What did you say?"

"See for yourself."

Ye Guyi snatched the telescope and took a look!

Before watching: Ye Guyi, hehe.

After reading it: Ye Guyi, no, not at all.

Skeletons, zombies, headless horsemen, and all sorts of bizarre undead creatures—no wonder the people of the Sun Moon Empire had the illusion that "they might be reinforcements." After all, the soul power and corpses needed to control the undead are the specialties of the Holy Spirit Cult's evil soul masters!

But Ye Guyi knew in her heart that this was no lie; it was reinforcements from another universe.

However, as the possessor of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, Ye Guyi was far from happy. Just the thought that the person was an evil soul master, even if it had nothing to do with his universe, made him feel uneasy.

This animosity wasn't just due to the conflict between the two sides stemming from their martial spirits; more importantly, this zombie crisis was caused by those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult!

The conflict between reason and emotion caused Ye Guyi's expression to change rapidly, much like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

"Bone Robe, are you sure it's reinforcements?"

Xu Tianran asked a question, and Ye Guyi nodded with a sullen face.

"They're reinforcements; the mission has already been assigned."

"Then it doesn't matter!" Xu Tianran decided immediately. "Right now, as long as someone can lift the siege of the palace, their identity doesn't matter!"

He shouted loudly, "Reinforcements have arrived! Hold on, everyone! We're about to crush the zombie horde!" His voice, emanating from a Title Douluo, transformed into a rolling wave of sound, echoing throughout every corner of the imperial city.

A phantom of a purple-red dragon that annihilates the heavens instantly stood atop the imperial city, pressing down fiercely on the tide of corpses!

Reinforcements have arrived!

The emperor presses forward!

At this moment, their previously low morale soared! The exhausted Royal Dragon Soul Instructor Corps seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and began to squeeze every last drop out of them!

For a time, the zombie horde was suppressed just like it had been at the beginning.

If the word "reinforcements" gave everyone hope, then Emperor Xu Tianran's leading by example ignited a flame in everyone's heart.

The fierce resistance from the Sun and Moon Palace in front, coupled with the rampant advance of the undead army behind, was like a millstone grinding away at the massive numbers of zombies.

The zombie horde was mostly composed of ordinary people or soldiers who had transformed into zombies. They were relatively weak and their numbers could not overwhelm the undead calamity. Therefore, when the undead army attacked from the rear, they were quite unstoppable.

This time, the powerful zombies couldn't take it anymore!

They were on the verge of breaching the Sun and Moon Palace when an unsuspecting fool suddenly appeared, causing their zombie horde attack to fail. Who could tolerate that!

So, several strong zombies immediately took action and decided to kill the troublemaker first.

Little did they know, their target had opened nine gates and was spewing out undead creatures.

Aside from small fry like skeletons, liches, and headless terror knights, there are at most abominations, which are slightly larger and stronger.

As for something even more powerful, there's no need for that.

Of course, this is not what Liu Yuan thought.

"Teacher! Keep it up!"

Liu Yuan flapped his dragon wings, shouting incessantly, almost as if he were holding two cheering sticks in his hands.

"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one experiencing it!"

"Why don't you do it?"

Behind the nine gates, in the center of the sky, Electrox's phantom flickered with a chilling light. The halo behind his head was filled with a deathly gray light, constantly echoing with low, menacing incantations, maintaining the opening of the nine gates to the dead.

Although the scene looked somewhat eerie, it wasn't scary at all. After all, who would roll their eyes at their apprentice while they were busy with important matters?

"Hehe, then forget it."

Faced with Elder Yi's "sincere" invitation, Liu Yuan gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Only family members know their own affairs.

Maintaining nine gates to the dead is no human task. One wrong move and your mental energy will be completely drained.

Otherwise, would he ask Old Yi for help?

It turns out that when Liu Yuan arrived in this universe, he deliberately interfered with the landing site to avoid plunging into a horde of zombies as soon as he entered.

After successfully interfering with the situation, he was teleported by the platform to the outskirts of Mingdu. When Liu Yuanfei looked down at Mingdu from the air, he saw the dark, oppressive scene and couldn't help but feel that his choice was correct.

Faced with such a horde of zombies, Liu Yuan did not impulsively rush to their aid. He knew very well that even though his strength was beyond the reach of ordinary Soul Saints, he was still only one person. How could he possibly resolve this zombie siege? Moreover, the power of fate had repeatedly warned him of danger.

Therefore, he decided to use the undead army.

Let the undead scourge clash with the zombie horde!

Not only are they numerous, but on average, each undead creature is stronger than a zombie.

So if we don't use it now, when will we?

Of course, Liu Yuan was also aware of his own limitations. At his current level, being able to open seven gates of the undead to unleash some weaker undead creatures was already his limit. Unlike last time, when he secretly relied on Elder Yi's abilities to summon a powerful bone dragon.

So when Liu Yuan faced a situation where the undead calamity might not be able to overwhelm the zombie horde if he didn't quickly mass produce troops, he started calling for reinforcements.

Liu Yuan: Please invite the "patriarch of the sect" to come out of seclusion!

At first, Mr. Yi didn't think it was necessary.

However, when he saw the zombies, he suddenly became a little interested in these unusual undead creatures.

So he personally took charge and launched a small-scale undead calamity. During this time, the strength of the undead creatures was limited to a relatively weak level.

In his words, that's enough!

The two sides of undead creatures clashed in a fierce battle. Overall, the undead army held the upper hand. While low-level undead creatures like skeletons and zombies were weak, they were still comparable to zombies transformed from ordinary soldiers, and could easily deal with zombies transformed from ordinary people.

As for those stronger zombies—

Although they can contend with undead creatures like Dread Knights and Abominations, they possess sentience and are aware of pain and fear.

In contrast, under Electrox's control, the undead creatures' intelligence was completely suppressed, rendering them unaware of pain or fear, and they only knew how to attack.

Most importantly, these undead creatures are already dead, and their bodies are basically made of bones with no flesh at all.

This prevents the zombies from converting a dead creature into one of their own kind, even if they kill it. Similarly, the inability to eat meat prevents the zombies from increasing their strength or healing their injuries.

This resulted in undead creatures having a clear advantage on the battlefield.

With the combined attack of the Sun and Moon Empire, many of the zombie hordes have been wiped out. Although the undead army is also suffering heavy losses, new undead creatures keep arriving.

Looking around, the undead army seemed endless, continuing its frenzied assault on the rear of the zombie horde.

This scene left Liu Yuan speechless.

If Little Kiss is this awesome, then how terrifying must the undead calamity that Elder Yi unleashed back then, which swept across the entire Divine Seal Plane, have been?

Even just thinking about it, Liu Yuan could vaguely see the scene of widespread suffering and destruction.

That's terrifying!

Seemingly sensing Liu Yuan's thoughts, Electrolux lowered his eyes slightly and sighed, "You see? This is the terror of necromancy. As long as there are enough corpses, it can devastate an entire world! You should learn from my past mistakes."

But before Liu Yuan could respond—

"Hmm?" Sensing something, Electrox glanced back and saw several figures rushing towards him.

His brow furrowed, a hint of displeasure on his face. "I'm instructing my disciples; what are you doing here?"

One of the large doors suddenly glowed with an eerie light, abruptly halting the horde of undead that had been pouring out from there.

The next second, "Roar—"

'

A hoarse dragon roar resounded, and an "old friend" appeared. With a gentle flap of its bone wings, it directly met the oncoming powerful zombies.

"Damn it! It's a bone dragon!"

"Where did these things come from!?"

77

"Look at those nine large doors!"

"Destroy them no matter what!"

"————"

Several zombies roared, and the leaders, sensing the power of the bone dragon, were the first to charge forward.

But the next second, they suddenly smelled a scent.

"Wait! There's a living person over there! And they have such a strong life force! I want to eat them!"

"Hahaha—, meat, I want to eat meat!"

"Eat! I want to eat!"

"He's mine!"

The lure of living people and their life energy drove these powerful zombies mad in an instant.

Their hideous, rotting faces were filled with cruelty and greed, as if they had completely lost their minds!

Those who had just charged towards the bone dragon immediately turned back, abandoning it and rushing towards the rear, all focusing their attacks on Liu Yuan. After all, one was a tough nut to crack, and the other was a tempting piece of meat. If it were you, which would you choose?

The bone dragon, which was just preparing to engage in battle, rushed forward only to watch helplessly as its enemies either slid under it or sidestepped it. None of them dared to confront it head-on.

Bone Dragon: ? ? ?

What's wrong with you guys?!

In contrast, Liu Yuan, after witnessing all of this, was left speechless.

Wait, why are they all rushing towards me?!

Do I smell that good?

At this moment, these powerful zombies, under Liu Yuan's temptation, seemed to have lost their remaining rationality, completely ignoring the fact that Electrolux was beside him.

"snort"

Suddenly, a soft snort came from Electrolux's mouth, as if it exploded in his ears!

In an instant, the zombies that had been going crazy just moments before seemed to have been put on pause. Not only did the madness in their eyes fade, but they also began to fall from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

This was entirely because Electrolux's cold snort struck straight to the brain, completely erasing their souls.

Then, he gently raised his hand.

One of the fallen zombies was caught by Electrolux using his divine sense and brought to him.

Just as Electrox was about to investigate what this so-called zombie was all about, the zombie, whose soul had just been erased, suddenly came back to life, raised its head, and let out a frenzied roar like a wild beast!

This scene completely stunned Liu Yuan. He never imagined that Elder Yi would fail in dealing with the soul.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"A new, frenzied consciousness took over his mind and became a new soul."

Electrolux quickly made his judgment: "These zombies cannot theoretically die unless the heads of the host souls are destroyed."

"I wonder whose creation this zombie is; it's certainly a genius idea."

Just moments ago, he was explaining, but unexpectedly, at the end, he suddenly uttered a sigh that sounded like a lament.

Liu Yuan: "————"

Good heavens, what kind of crazy "scientist" is this?

Can these things really resonate with people?

So all he could do was mutter to himself, "Teacher, are you sure you don't want to deal with them first?"

Zombies are far more terrifying than undead creatures. Because these guys eat people!

"Too."

Immediately, Electrolux simply clenched his fist, and an invisible force crushed the zombie into pieces from a distance. Then, with a gentle flip of his hand, he overturned the zombie that had also "resurrected" and was entangled with the undead army, completely extinguishing its life force.

Now, the zombie horde's high-end combat force has been almost completely wiped out. With the addition of bone dragons to the undead army, the zombies' situation has instantly become increasingly precarious.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the few powerful zombies in the horde had no choice but to temporarily abandon the Sun and Moon Palace and break through the encirclement that the undead army was gradually forming.

In the end, the zombie horde was mostly wiped out by the undead army, leaving behind only the devastation of Mingdu and the undead creatures that replaced the zombies.

But under Elder Yi's control, gates to the undead opened within Mingdu, allowing the undead creatures to evacuate in an orderly fashion. Before long, the city, reduced to ruins, was devoid of any undead creatures.

"Teacher, do you want to enter the Sea of ​​Spirit, or return to the Demiplane of the Dead?" Liu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the Sun and Moon Palace and turned to ask Elder Yi.

He hadn't forgotten that his mission, besides resolving the siege by the besieged families, was also to treat the wounded.

Since that's the case, I'll have to go to the Sun and Moon Palace myself.

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Electrolux gently patted his hand, and an ordinary zombie was enveloped by his divine sense. "Perfect, I was also planning to study this kind of creature."

Researching zombies?

Looking at the zombie roaring at him, trying to devour him, Liu Yuan felt a chill. "Then you'd better be careful, old man, don't let it escape."

"Don't worry, it can't escape."

Electrolux flicked his finger, and with a "snap," the zombie's head was twisted off.

For him, research is a matter of life and death, it doesn't matter.

As Electrox returned to the undead demiplane and the undead gates standing on the outskirts of Mingdu City closed one after another, Liu Yuan flapped his Judgment Dragon Wings and sped alone toward the Sun and Moon Palace.

Meanwhile, on the palace walls of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace.

Xu Tianran had returned to his wheelchair, and there were no more zombies in his sight. Even the undead army that had come to his aid had withdrawn, returning the ruined capital to him, the emperor.

"The zombie horde has retreated." In his weary voice, it was impossible to tell whether he felt relieved.

But at least he can breathe a little easier.

"Bone Garment".

Xu Tianran pursed his dry lips.

"Has the task you posted been completed?"

"not yet."

Ye Guyi's voice was cold and clear. Out of wariness of evil spirit masters, she did not touch her own martial spirit.

"The mission I issued is divided into two parts. One is to resolve the zombie siege, and the other is to have him treat our wounded."

"So, that person is coming again?"

Ye Guyi paused slightly, then said, "He's already here."

In the distance, a point of light was rapidly approaching. But when Ye Guyi sensed the aura of this point of light, a look of surprise and uncertainty flashed across her face.

Because she detected no trace of evil from the newcomer. On the contrary, a divine aura even stronger than hers was emanating from him.

If it weren't for the sheer scale of the undead army, comparable to a horde of zombies, Ye Guyi would have wondered if she had just imagined what had happened.

At that very moment, Ye Guyi withdrew her martial spirit.

Because divine aura cannot be faked. The methods may resemble those of an evil spirit master, but the person in question is definitely not one.

Xu Tianran clearly saw this as well, and while letting out another sigh of relief, he said, "Our savior is coming. Everyone, please be mindful of etiquette."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuan's figure fell from the air. As soon as he steadied himself, he recognized that the person in the center, sitting in a wheelchair, was definitely Xu Tianran.

However, Liu Yuan quickly focused his attention on Ye Guyi. After all, the Angelic Martial Soul was too obvious and complemented the nickname "Savior Angel".

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Xu Tianran had already steered his wheelchair forward, extending his right hand, "Thank you for accepting our mission and coming to our rescue."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was taken aback.

What's going on? How does Xu Tianran know about the mission? Could it be that I guessed wrong? Is he the real "Savior Angel"? Or perhaps—

His gaze shifted to Ye Guyi.

Did she leak the platform's information?

After all, it's not impossible.

Because the platform does not have mandatory confidentiality requirements, and like in the previous parallel universe, Xiao Hongchen had already informed Meng Hongchen of the platform's existence.

With doubts in mind, Liu Yuan didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he simply said, "It's just a matter of mutual benefit," and then got straight to the point.

"According to your mission requirements, you also need to treat your wounded. Is that right?"

Xu Tianran nodded slightly. "Exactly."

"Won't the wounded turn into zombies?"

At this moment, Liu Yuan asked a question that raised his doubts.

"Some will, some won't."

Later, from Xu Tianran and the others, Liu Yuan learned that for a normal person or a normal Soul Master to be transformed into a zombie, they must be scratched by a zombie through physical contact. If they are hit by a Soul Skill in the form of energy, they will not be transformed into a zombie.

In addition, if you are scratched or bitten on your limbs by a zombie, you can prevent yourself from being turned into a zombie as long as you can cut off your wrist in a second.

"I see."

Liu Yuan nodded, then changed the subject.

"By the way, in your entire Ming Capital, are you the only one, Emperor, a Title Douluo? No one else? Logically speaking, you should have quite a few Level 9 Soul Masters, right?"

He realized something was wrong as soon as he entered the imperial city.

But to say that all the powerful beings have turned into zombies is absolutely impossible. Otherwise, not only would Mingdu be finished, but the entire Sun Moon Empire would probably be doomed.

"There is someone here, but not here."

Xu Tianran sighed. This version of him in this world lacked the ambition of his original self; instead, he seemed to have had his edges smoothed out by reality.

"Currently, all forces, including our Sun Moon Empire, except for a few relatively weak multi-title Douluo or level nine Soul Masters who are stationed in the empire's important cities, have basically all their other powerful figures gone overseas to blockade the coastline."

Hissing Liu Yuan's pupils dilated in shock, and he subconsciously gasped.

Water is the perfect contaminant for zombies, meaning the entire ocean has been contaminated by them! And all the spirit beasts in the ocean have turned into zombies!

Don't assume that just because sea monsters have no feet or wings and can't go ashore, they won't pose much of a threat!

This restriction only applies to sea spirit beasts with a cultivation level below 100,000 years. Once they reach 100,000 years, they can transform into human form and briefly come ashore!

To be honest, no one knows exactly how many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts or even ferocious beasts there are in the ocean.

But they are definitely stronger than human Soul Masters!

At least he knew that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago had a very powerful wife living in the sea.

No wonder the situation is so dire.

Liu Yuan sighed silently.

The people of this world are truly pitiful; he didn't know what to say. He could only change the subject, returning to the matter of the wounded in the imperial city. "—Gather the wounded together; I will treat them."
