As it roared, the huge golden skeleton's mind power became berserk.
It brandished the broken war blade. Every golden bone flickered with Immortal Dao runes. As the blade slashed down, large swathes of the void shattered like glass.
A dangerous aura arose spontaneously.
"Retreat!"
Li Mu exerted all his strength to resist the impact and quickly retreated.
The Battle Ancestor also drove the white boat away.
"Kill!"
"Kill all the Black Deities!"
"Protect the Heavenly Court with our lives!"
"Not for glory, but for survival …"
"Brothers, we'd rather die than retreat! Our parents, wives, and children are right behind us …"
Qin Han's spiritual will seemed to be in a mess. He waved the saber and roared as if he had returned to the tragic battle countless years ago.
It was as if he was still fighting on the battlefield, not dead yet.
Dong, dong, dong!
The sound of drums echoed between heaven and earth.
"Oh no!"
Li Mu's expression changed drastically.
He saw a stone drum that was clearly in tatters, without a drum face, bursting out of the sand. It emitted a drumbeat that was like the pulse of heaven and earth, filling the space between heaven and earth.
Along with the sound of the drum, the Golden Skeletons that were originally in a deep sleep actually 'woke up' one by one. Even if their bodies weren't complete, they still struggled to stand up. They held broken blades, broken swords, and even removed their own ribs to use as weapons. They surrounded the Golden Skeleton King Qin Han.
An army of sleeping skeletons had awakened.
It was unbelievable.
It was Qin Han's call, his will to fight, and his unyielding fighting spirit that had awakened the army that had been dead for countless years.
Li Mu tried several times to wake up Qin Han, who was in a violent state, and communicate with him.
But he had failed.
The Blood Evil Army's murderous aura shot into the sky.
In the desert, the blood-colored sand flowed like a surging sea of blood.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A series of angry roars soared into the sky and filled the universe.
Even Li Mu, who was at the beginner level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, felt the sharp aura rushing at him, and his skin hurt.
"Retreat, back to the Southern Heavenly Gate!"
Li Mu shouted.
If he was overwhelmed by such a terrifying army, there would only be one outcome —
Die!
Zhan Zu and the others did not dare to be the slightest bit slow.
He steered the white boat back the way he came, retreating crazily.
They were big shots in the Middle Three Heavens, and they looked down on all the Immortals. So, when had they ever been so embarrassed?
However, this was the Upper Three Heavens.
Even an Immortal Emperor could die if they were not careful.
The Yan Emperor's fate of instantly turning into black water was a good example.
Who would dare to joke around with their own lives?
"Come back quickly."
Hua Xiangrong shouted.
Naturally, Li Mu would not be so stupid as to confront this army that was in a state of frenzy.
He also retreated frantically.
Moreover, Li Mu had already figured out that the army of skeletons had been reawakened by the broken war drums. It was just the last will, fighting will, and obsession of the skeleton army.
Before long, this unyielding fighting spirit would dissipate, and everything would return to dust, dust to dust.
They would eventually rest in peace.
However, perhaps Li Mu and the others' frantic retreat attracted the attention of the skeleton army.
"Chase after them. Don't let any of them escape."
Qin Han waved the broken long saber.
The skeleton army locked on to Li Mu and began to chase him frantically.
"Boom!"
The terrible power of broadsword broke the void and swept over.
Li Mu covered the daytime, stretched out his hand, took out the purple-gold long saber, and slashed back.
"Boom!"
The broadsword light collided with the broadsword light.
The void, like layers of transparent glass, was broken into pieces.
The surrounding heaven and earth became unstable.
Under Li Mu's cover, the white boat finally withdrew from the scarlet desert and rushed into the vast black tide.
Li Mu turned into a broadsword light, holding the Immortal Marrow Jade torch in one hand, and chased after it.
The light of the torch flickered and dispersed the black tide.
With Li Mu's cultivation, he could naturally resist it.
The sound of the war drums behind him and the pursuit of the skeleton army gradually disappeared.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he noticed that something was wrong.
"The speed of the white boat is not fast. I should have caught up with it. Why can't I see it until now?"
His heart skipped a beat.
"Did I go in the wrong direction?"
He spread out his Divine Awareness and barely covered a kilometer around him. Then, he slowed down and began to search.
He searched for six hours.
He didn't find the white boat at all.
Judging from the time, they should have returned to the Southern Heaven Gate.
Li Mu decided to go to the Southern Heaven Gate to meet Hua Xiangrong and the others.
He found the right direction and sped up.
Ahead, the black tide gradually thinned.
The black demon qi was getting lighter and lighter.
Here it was.
Li Mu rushed out.
A kilometer away, the light was shining.
Swoosh!
Li Mu landed outside the black tide.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is it? How dare you break into my Southern Heaven Gate? "
The voice was like thunder.
Li Mu was shocked. When he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"What … what's going on?"
In front of him, it was a sunny day.
White clouds were drifting.
The sun was shining brightly.
Under the golden sunlight, a majestic three-story palace flickered with a mysterious and magnificent luster. It was complete and magnificent.
The banners were like dragons, fluttering in the wind.
Around the main hall, there were immortal generals in silver armor patrolling.
On the small square in front of the main gate, an arched plaque stood majestically.
Under the gate, there was a team of immortal generals in silver.
The leader was tall and burly, with a jade-white face, full of masculinity, extremely handsome, with an immortal sword hanging on his waist and six short javelins on his back. Immortal Qi was surging all over his body. He was an expert at the peak of the Immortal Sage Realm.
It was this man who shouted.
Li Mu was a little confused.
He looked up in confusion.
He saw the three-story palace in the distance, hanging in the middle of the top was a plaque in immortal script, on which were written three words —
Southern Heaven Gate.
As for the plaque, it was brand new, unfamiliar yet familiar.
It was familiar because Li Mu clearly remembered that when he entered the dilapidated hall of the Southern Heaven Gate, he saw this plaque on the third floor, which had obviously been smashed and scattered under the ten bodies nailed to the wall.
But now …
And why was the sky so bright here, and there was no black tide shrouding it?
Li Mu subconsciously looked back.
What he saw made him completely dumbfounded.
There was no black tide behind him.
White clouds were drifting, and the sky was clear.
There were red-crowned cranes and spirit birds flying in the sky, and the world was filled with spiritual energy. With just a glance, one would feel comfortable and their heart would be filled with boundless light.
What was going on?
Where was the black tide?
The broken Southern Heaven Gate, and the dead soldiers?
What exactly … happened just now?
All of a sudden, Li Mu felt that his brain was not enough.
