A rare magical miracle in the world

"Everyone, be careful."

"In the land of the Four Perils, none of us know what lies beneath."

Old Black Dog, a descendant of Ancient Divination, heard that this method of divination was created by Fuxi: "Li Zhen, my old brother, it's time for you to lead the way."

"Rest assured."

Li Zhen had practiced internal martial arts for decades and was exceptionally talented. He had returned to the simplicity and truth of martial arts and was immune to all poisons.

He was the only one present who had been bitten by a zombie yet remained unharmed.

Not even the poison from corpses could trouble him; having such a person at the front was more than ideal.

"Let us sisters handle the work of scouting."

Two women dressed from Miaojiang took out two clay pots from their baggage. When opened, a large number of pitch-black insects crawled out.

"The map."

Old Black Dog knew the sisters' abilities and quickly handed over the Underworld Palace Map he got from Daoist Lin.

Although he could divine, the sisters' Gu insects could directly enter and explore, which in some ways made them more suitable as the vanguard for the Underground Palace.

"How is it?"

"This Underground Palace is so complex, I've never seen anything like it."

Sister Li Lu communicated with the insects through a heart-mind connection, a very special Dimensional Power, which allowed the perception, as fine as it was, to be transmitted to Li Lu's mind through something akin to ultrasound waves.

"The left side is a dead end, sister."

The power of one person was not enough, so sister Li Jia joined in the exploration with her.

"What about here?"

Suddenly, Li Lu furrowed her brows: "Such a terrifying evil aura, there is an Earth Fiend Corpse here, we must not go this way later."

Although nobody had entered the tomb, they had already thoroughly explored the first layer of the Underworld Palace.

"Earth Fiend Corpse?"

"Isn't that something from legend?"

Zombies are classified by levels; omitting the lower ones, the higher-level zombies are divided into two types: armored and flying.

Armored zombies exemplify extreme physical strength, while flying zombies awaken various mysterious and unpredictable powers, making them quite bizarre.

Both armored and flying zombies have four levels: gold, silver, bronze, iron, with gold at the top and iron at the bottom.

Above these four levels is the legendary Zombie King.

Honestly, no one present had seen a real Zombie King, and the Earth Fiend Corpse described by Li Lu was one of the Zombie Kings.

There are thirty-six Heavenly Gangs and seventy-two Earth Fiends, totaling 108 kinds of Zombie Kings, each possessing power beyond the comparison of anyone present.

No, perhaps Yunxiao could battle them, but there's a precondition: it has to be one-on-one.

"An Earth Fiend Corpse on the first layer."

Yunxiao's eyes showed shock; she initially thought that Zombie Kings of such caliber would be at the bottom layer or even be the final boss.

"Is this a bluff, or is this Underground Palace truly beyond our imagination?"

Yunxiao couldn't judge. She wanted to guess that the master of the Underground Palace placed the big boss on the first layer, and the layers below were less challenging, but that seemed highly improbable: "It looks like our initial plan of directly storming in is unrealistic."

"This Earth Fiend Corpse, it has already reached the peak of supernatural combat power, hasn't it?"

Bailuo estimated, discovering that the strength of the Earth Fiend Corpse was not weak, but it should not be a single entity, rather a type of troop.

"Earth Yin Fiend Star Corpse, also known as Earth Yin Corpse King."

Of course, the term 'Corps King' applies in the material plane because in the worldview of the Miracle World, Heroic Level is equivalent to the strongest combat power that can exist in a plane, akin to a 'demi-god'.

Just below Heroic Level, transcendent peaks naturally belong to the kings of their eras, a rarity in a century.

This Earth Fiend Corpse was nothing but a minor underling to King-level powerhouses like Fusang and Yue Gui, capable of being wiped out in an instant, yet in the primary material plane, they were almost invincible.

"And such Earth Fiend Corpses, my master has prepared 12 in total."

Which meant it was utterly impossible for anyone to force their way through with sheer strength, a certain death awaited.

"Indeed it was so."

On the other side, Fengdu faced a similar problem, which was brought up by the Female Sword Emperor, "That's why I gave them that Underworld Palace Map."

"Does the East Sea King know?"

"Of course not!"

Fengdu revealed a sly smile, which made the two Female Emperors look at each other, both not the type to joke around, they began to ponder and exchange thoughts.

"That…"

Fengdu became somewhat uneasy, "This wouldn't be, illegal, would it?"

"Let's discuss this."

Although three Masters of Miracles were supervising this time, in truth, both Ying Muyao and Mu Yunji were primarily focused on Bailuo.

But this was just an attitude, speaking of ability, Bailuo had no say whatsoever.

Just like now, Fengdu had clearly made preparations in advance, but does this really count as violating the divine covenant's rules of the Miracle War?

"Preparation in advance, eh."

Mu Yunji, "This doesn't count as cheating, does it?"

"It shouldn't."

Ying Muyao, "Little Fengdu and the East Sea King are sworn enemies after all, their investigating each other's abilities beforehand makes sense."

"But," Mu Yunji glanced at Fengdu, "this little guy has outsmarted her, hasn't he?"

He had already made the preparations but still lured the Corpse Bride into the trap, causing her to initiate the Miracle War herself.

One must admit, Fengdu, how despicable.

"Little Fengdu, she is still a girl after all," Ying Muyao, holding her forehead, "can't you just let her off the hook?"

In Ying Muyao's eyes, Fengdu was more of a child than a little brother.

If someone said he and the Corpse Bride had nothing going on, Ying Muyao would not believe it even if she were to be beaten to death.

"Is this what Xiao Luo called a 'steel straight man'?"

Ying Muyao secretly criticized, while saying to Fengdu, "You don't have any deep hatred with her, maybe it's best not to do such things."

"How could that possibly be!!!"

Fengdu hurriedly responded, "I would rather die than lose to her!"

"......"

"Since you have already made up your mind," Ying Muyao gave the map back, "this isn't against the rules, even though you prepared in advance, preparation is also a form of strength, we acknowledge the legitimacy of what you did."

Ying Muyao and Mu Yunji acknowledged it, and whether Bailuo acknowledged it or not actually didn't matter.

Bailuo didn't even know what the rules were, so what could he possibly judge?

Of course, it was necessary to say something for sure.

"The other side made early preparations?"

After receiving messages from the two women, Bailuo learned the ins and outs, and he glanced at Fusang and Yue Gui but said nothing.

As a supervisor, Bailuo could be aware of the actions of both sides in the contest, just like the God view in LoL.

However, Bailuo could not reveal any information. True gentlemen watch the game without a word, Bailuo bore neither grudge against Fengdu nor felt any special affection for the Corpse Bride, so he did not intend to favor any party.

Since the two Female Emperors thought that preparing the Underworld Palace Map in advance was not against the rules, naturally, Bailuo would not say anything, 'It seems this Miracle War is a match of wits against an unaware opponent.'
