Clayne ran through the hallway at full speed while his heart pounded violently inside his chest.

The concealment formation was weakening.

If the mist disappeared completely, the endless undead outside would immediately notice the entire building.

And once that happened...

Clayne did not even want to imagine the outcome.

Because after witnessing the horrifying scenes outside earlier, he finally understood something clearly.

The undead were no longer the slow creatures from the first days of the apocalypse.

No.

They had made a horde.

Some climbed walls.

Some coordinated together.

Some broke into buildings intelligently.

And worse...

Their numbers had become overwhelming beyond imagination.

So there’s no escape.

The entire city had already drowned beneath an ocean of corpses.

Meanwhile, the concealment formation he made earlier only relied on the spiritual qi inside the bucket.

And after two days...

Of course it would weaken eventually.

Immediately afterward, Clayne entered the room where his belongings remained before quickly taking out the tiny world again.

Right afterward, he did not even hesitate.

His consciousness instantly entered the tiny world.

Meanwhile, the moment his vision descended toward the tiny cultivation world again...

Clayne immediately ignored the Silent Sword Sect completely.

Because right now, he had no time to greet disciples or look around leisurely.

His goal was simple.

Replenish the formation.

Immediately afterward, Clayne focused directly toward the Silent River Hill area.

The place where he first met Zi Yue.

But the moment his vision descended there...

Even Clayne became stunned briefly.

Because the once quiet forest had completely transformed already.

The entire Silent River Hill area had become flooded with cultivators.

Not merely dozens.

Thousands.

Immortal cultivators continuously moved throughout the region while countless temporary buildings, camps, defensive formations, spiritual towers, and cultivation platforms covered the once peaceful forest.

Flying swords streaked throughout the skies endlessly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Massive spiritual beasts roamed nearby mountains.

Formation arrays glowed everywhere.

Several cultivators patrolled the surroundings vigilantly while others sat cross legged near large formations.

Meanwhile, banners continuously fluttered throughout the area.

Heaven Cleaving Sect.

Nether Corpse Sect.

And many more unfamiliar sects.

The entire place looked like a massive battlefield preparing for war.

Immediately afterward, Clayne remembered.

The heavenly treasure incident.

The dried mango.

Those cultivators probably returned after the treasure incident yesterday and established bases around Silent River Hill afterward.

The more Clayne looked...

The more speechless he became.

"These people are insane..."

But immediately afterward, Clayne stopped caring.

Because he had no time for them.

The concealment formation outside was weakening rapidly.

Without hesitation, Clayne’s massive hand descended immediately afterward.

Meanwhile...

Inside the tiny cultivation world...

The cultivators below suddenly froze.

Because the sky darkened instantly.

Not ordinary darkness.

No.

A terrifying shadow swallowed the heavens themselves.

Then suddenly...

A massive hand descended from the clouds.

It covered the sky completely.

Its sheer size instantly made countless cultivators tremble in horror.

"THE DEITY!"

"THE FORBIDDEN DEITY!"

"RUN!"

Panic erupted throughout Silent River Hill instantly.

Several cultivators immediately activated defensive formations.

Others released flying swords.

Others attempted escape.

Meanwhile, countless spiritual lights exploded throughout the region continuously.

But it was useless.

Because the massive hand immediately swept throughout the entire region.

Boom!!

Mountains collapsed instantly.

Forests exploded apart violently.

Cultivation camps disappeared completely.

Formation towers shattered like glass.

Meanwhile, countless cultivators exploded into bloody mist before they could even react properly.

Several low level cultivators monitoring the Silent River Hill attempted resistance desperately.

They released massive sword lights toward the descending hand.

Others activated ancient treasures.

Others released defensive barriers spanning entire mountains.

Yet everything shattered instantly.

The giant hand continued sweeping through the region mercilessly.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Entire cultivation bases disappeared continuously.

Flying swords exploded.

Spiritual beasts burst apart.

Countless immortal cultivators screamed desperately while attempting escape.

But none escaped.

None.

Meanwhile, Clayne simply swept everything aside casually before immediately throwing countless bags of chips throughout the Silent River Hill afterward.

One after another.

One after another.

Massive bags descended throughout the forest like heavenly treasures continuously.

Then immediately afterward...

The entire area erupted with spiritual qi once more.

Meanwhile...

Far away within the Heaven Cleaving Sect...

Alarms suddenly erupted throughout the entire sect.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Boom!!

Massive bells rang endlessly across countless sword peaks.

Immediately afterward, a loud voice echoed throughout the Heaven Cleaving Sect continuously.

"The Deity of the forbidden Silent River Hills has appeared again!"

"The Deity of the forbidden Silent River Hills has appeared again!"

"It has wiped out all stationed members again!"

The voice continuously repeated throughout the sect.

Immediately afterward...

Shock exploded throughout the Heaven Cleaving Sect.

Countless disciples immediately rushed outside in disbelief.

Several elders instantly stood up from meditation.

Core disciples froze completely.

Meanwhile, several peak masters immediately erupted with terrifying sword qi.

Because they remembered clearly how much preparation they invested after yesterday’s heavenly treasure incident.

The Heaven Cleaving Sect had mobilized enormous resources toward Silent River Hill.

They constructed massive defensive formations.

Sword arrays.

Detection formations.

Ancient sealing techniques.

Spatial barriers.

Offensive killing arrays.

Even Nascent Soul elders personally guarded the region.

Countless disciples spent the entire night constructing cultivation bases and defensive camps around Silent River Hill.

All because of the mysterious deity that stole the heavenly treasure yesterday.

The entire Heaven Cleaving Sect already treated Silent River Hill as forbidden territory.

Yet now...

Everything got wiped out again.

Instantly.

Meanwhile, inside the sect, countless disciples immediately became terrified while discussing frantically.

"That thing appeared again?"

"How is that possible?!"

"Our senior brothers stationed there all died?!"

"What kind of existence is that monster?!"

"Even the Nascent Soul elders disappeared instantly!"

Meanwhile, several elders looked extremely grim.

Because none of them understood what exactly the forbidden deity truly was.

A higher realm being?

An ancient immortal?

A forbidden existence?

No one knew.

Meanwhile, terrifying sword lights suddenly erupted toward the skies continuously.

One after another.

One after another.

Several Heaven Cleaving Sect elders immediately mobilized.

Meanwhile, countless disciples followed afterward while sword qi filled the skies like meteors.

At the same time...

Far away within another region...

Inside the Nether Corpse Sect...

The atmosphere also exploded violently.

Boom!!

Dark crimson demonic qi erupted throughout the sect endlessly.

Immediately afterward, countless coffins trembled violently.

Then suddenly...

A horrifying voice echoed throughout the Nether Corpse Sect continuously.

"The Deity of the forbidden Silent River Hills has appeared again!"

"The Deity of the forbidden Silent River Hills has appeared again!"

"It has wiped out all stationed members again!"

The voice continuously spread throughout the sect.

Immediately afterward...

Shock exploded throughout the Nether Corpse Sect.

Several demonic elders instantly opened their eyes.

Core disciples immediately rushed outside.

Outer disciples trembled in fear.

Meanwhile, countless corpse puppets roared throughout the sect continuously.

Because just like the Heaven Cleaving Sect...

The Nether Corpse Sect also invested enormous resources toward Silent River Hill after yesterday’s heavenly treasure incident.

They established demonic formations.

Corpse refining platforms.

Detection arrays.

Defensive barriers.

Hidden killing formations.

Several Nascent Soul corpse cultivators personally guarded the area.

Massive corpse armies stationed around Silent River Hill continuously.

All because they feared the forbidden deity appearing again.

Yet now...

Everything disappeared instantly once more.

Meanwhile, inside the Nether Corpse Sect, countless disciples discussed frantically while fear filled their faces.

"That thing returned again?!"

"How terrifying exactly is this forbidden deity?!"

"Even our Core Formation corpse elders closed to Nascent Soul died instantly!"

"Could it truly be an immortal from the upper realms?!"

Meanwhile...

Massive demonic lights suddenly erupted throughout the skies continuously.

Countless coffins rose upward.

Bone dragons roared throughout the heavens.

Corpse puppets flooded the skies endlessly.

The Nether Corpse Sect had mobilized completely once more.

Meanwhile...

Back in the real world...

Clayne finally withdrew his consciousness from the tiny world afterward.

Immediately afterward, he quickly checked the concealment formation surrounding the building.

Then finally...

Clayne slowly released a breath of relief.

Because after replacing the water source with enormous amounts of chips absorbing spiritual qi...

The Silent Sword Mist Array thickened tremendously once more.

Dense mist completely covered the entire school building again.

Meanwhile, outside...

The endless undead horde simply passed by the school continuously.

As though the building itself never existed at all.
