This totem-level undead, with a crimson face, two heads, and four arms, resembled a Purgatory Titan, looking ferocious and menacing.
Upon its appearance, it reached out to grab the Golden-Winged Great Peng, a bloodthirsty smile on its face.
"Such a plump bird, its flesh must be delicious!"
The overlord-level Golden-Winged Great Peng was so frightened that it hastily dodged.
Bai Hongguang frowned.
He didn't want his most powerful pet to be eaten as lunch by the opponent.
Immediately, Bai Hongguang used the green jade token again.
The ultimate skill sealed within the jade token, Vine Sea Strangulation, erupted.
Countless vines swept towards the totem-level undead.
The undead creature cast a disdainful glance.
Its two faces began to change, morphing into countless faces with various expressions, accompanied by terrifying sounds that sent shivers down one's spine and instilled fear.
It unleashed its ultimate skill, Wraith's Roar.
In the Nine Nether Totem Kingdom, it was known as the Wraith Lord.
It could transform into thousands upon thousands of wraiths.
It was like a collective entity, yet possessed independent consciousness, making it a very special undead.
Instantly, any vine that came close to the Wraith Lord withered as if drained of moisture, losing its ability to attack.
Even more terrifying, Wraith's Roar was an area-of-effect skill.
Zheng Dong, Bai Hongguang, and their respective pets also suffered the attack.
However, most of the power of Wraith's Roar was used to counter Vine Sea Strangulation, so the force exerted on Zheng Dong, Bai Hongguang, and their pets was not strong.
Zheng Dong felt as if countless figures were speaking to him, their words a torrent of pleas.
Immediately after, he felt these figures tearing at him.
The pain spread throughout his body, intensifying with each passing moment.
After a few minutes, he returned to normal.
Naturally, Bai Hongguang experienced the same sensation.
"Damn little beast, this is all your fault."
Bai Hongguang was furious and dejected.
Now that he was targeted by the Wraith Lord, he had no choice but to face it head-on.
He then took out another dragon pearl.
This dragon pearl contained the ultimate skill of a totem-level Thunder Dragon Emperor, Thunder Shocking the Nine Heavens.
This dragon pearl was originally kept in the Bai family's secret chamber, left behind by Bai Zhiyuan in his later years.
Bai Hongguang was unsure if it could still be used.
Regardless, this dragon pearl held greater symbolic meaning for the Bai family.
Now, with no better options, Bai Hongguang decided to try this dragon pearl.
Instantly, thunder rumbled, deafening!
A massive bolt of lightning descended, striking the Wraith Lord.
The Wraith Lord appeared scorched, its entire body turning black, and it let out continuous wails.
Lightning was its natural counter.
If this dragon pearl hadn't originated from Bai Zhiyuan of the Divine Martial Empire era, making it too ancient, its power would likely have been greater, perhaps even severely wounding it.
This, however, enraged the Wraith Lord.
The enraged Wraith Lord began to attack Bai Hongguang ferociously.
This was exactly what Zheng Dong wanted to see.
He left a clone at the original location while his main body retreated into the mythical-level relic space.
Bai Hongguang repeatedly used his trump cards, but could only barely fend off the Wraith Lord.
As his trump cards were gradually depleted, Bai Hongguang found himself in a perilous situation.
He was forced to have his Golden-Winged Great Peng, Ghost-Eyed Owl, and other pets engage in defense.
Unfortunately, these overlord-level pets struggled to withstand the totem-level Wraith Lord.
Before long, two overlord-level pets fell, torn to shreds by the Wraith Lord, leaving no intact parts.
Following this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was injured, and the Ghost-Eyed Owl was critically wounded, falling into a coma.
Seeing his pets on the verge of annihilation,
Bai Hongguang was unwilling to accept defeat.
He gritted his teeth and charged into the spatial portal that Zheng Dong had left behind.
This was intentionally left by Zheng Dong.
He wanted Bai Hongguang to enter the relic space.
Upon seeing Bai Hongguang enter, the Wraith Lord also attempted to follow.
Unfortunately, the spatial entrance vanished the next second.
The Wraith Lord glared furiously at Zheng Dong's clone.
It understood that Zheng Dong was playing tricks.
"Bastard, quickly open the relic space entrance for me!"
The Wraith Lord glared at Zheng Dong's clone in anger.
Its eyes were filled with menace.
However, Zheng Dong's clone was completely unfazed.
He was merely a hardworking clone.
His purpose outside was to relay information from the outside to the main body.
Instantly, the Wraith Lord became even more enraged.
It felt that Zheng Dong was completely unafraid of it.
Thus, it swiped a claw at Zheng Dong's clone.
Just as it was about to strike Zheng Dong's clone, the clone instead flew towards it.
Immediately after, an explosion occurred.
One of the Wraith Lord's arms was blown off.
Zheng Dong's clone had used the explosive fruit condensed by Ling'er. Although it didn't severely wound the Wraith Lord, it was enough to teach the Wraith Lord a lesson.
Instantly, the Wraith Lord became even more frustrated.
Since becoming a totem-level entity, it had never endured so much humiliation.
It decided to wait for Zheng Dong to emerge from the relic space.
Inside the relic space, Zheng Dong summoned Ling'er, Youyou, and other pets.
Furthermore, Ling'er released the overlord-level Light, Dark, and Fire elementals.
Bai Hongguang was not surprised by this.
Having chosen to enter the relic space, he had anticipated being surrounded.
"Little beast, don't think you've won yet. We'll see who the ultimate victor is!" Bai Hongguang sneered.
Saying this, he mounted the Golden-Winged Great Peng and flew towards Zheng Dong.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng unleashed its ultimate skill, Limit Break.
Instantly, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's speed became incredibly fast, like a beam of light shooting towards Zheng Dong.
Even the overlord-level Light, Dark, and Fire elementals could not stop it.
Bai Hongguang intended to perish along with Zheng Dong.
Fortunately, Zheng Dong reacted quickly.
He directly utilized his authority within the relic space and vanished from his original position.
This caused Bai Hongguang to miss.
Immediately after, Zheng Dong reappeared behind Bai Hongguang and taunted:
"This is my territory. My word is law. Even if you wish to die, you cannot do so without my consent!"
Bai Hongguang's expression turned grim.
He had been prepared to die with his opponent, a difficult decision for someone who valued his life so much.
He hadn't expected that even with the Golden-Winged Great Peng's Limit Break, it still couldn't reach Zheng Dong.
However, Bai Hongguang had no intention of giving up.
He rode the Golden-Winged Great Peng and flew towards Zheng Dong again.
While flying, he activated Mechanical Armament.
With Mechanical Armament engaged, and then using the ultimate skill Limit Break, the Golden-Winged Great Peng's speed increased even further.
Just as he was about to reach Zheng Dong,
In the next second, Zheng Dong teleported him to another location within the relic space.
By the time Bai Hongguang regained his senses,
The Zheng Dong in front of him had long since disappeared, replaced by a rock face.
And he was about to crash into it.
In a panic, the Golden-Winged Great Peng managed to control its momentum, narrowly avoiding the rock face.
Bai Hongguang, sitting on the Golden-Winged Great Peng's back, was almost thrown off.
He gnashed his teeth in frustration.
"Little beast, I will not let you go."
Bai Hongguang was filled with suppressed rage, with nowhere to vent it.
He frowned, contemplating how to deal with Zheng Dong.
Just then, the Golden-Winged Great Peng he was riding was also forcibly separated from him and teleported to another part of the relic space.
Afterward, Bai Hongguang was teleported back in front of Zheng Dong.
He was dumbfounded.
Without the Golden-Winged Great Peng's assistance, even as a titled legend, he was still no match for Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong conjured multiple clones and attacked Bai Hongguang.
Bai Hongguang held on for a while but could no longer endure.
He collapsed to the ground in utter dejection.
After Bai Hongguang's death, Zheng Dong found a relic bead on his person.
The relic bead contained a vast amount of resources that Bai Hongguang had taken from the Bai family.
The specific contents would need to be examined later, after leaving the mythical-level relic space.
Next, it was time to deal with the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
Without Bai Hongguang, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was no match for the overlord-level elemental spirits.
Soon, the Golden-Winged Great Peng was dealt with by the Light, Dark, and Fire elementals.
Afterward, Zheng Dong left the relic space, preparing to examine his spoils.
Unfortunately, he had rejoiced too soon.
The moment he emerged, he was targeted by the totem-level Wraith Lord.
The Wraith Lord, injured in the hand by Zheng Dong's clone, had never left.
Vengeful as it was, it could not rest until Zheng Dong was dealt with.
Immediately, the Wraith Lord unleashed its ultimate skill, Wraith's Roar, once more.
This time, it was entirely focused on Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if struck by a heavy hammer, nearly losing consciousness.
Following this, he saw countless wraiths flickering before his eyes, swarming towards him and tearing at his flesh.
This forced Zheng Dong to retreat into the mythical-level relic space once again.
The Wraith Lord attempted to follow Zheng Dong into the space, but was once again a step too late.
"Damn it, it's a mythical-level relic space!"
Greed flickered in the Wraith Lord's eyes.
If the mythical-level relic space were modified, it might be possible to transform it into its divine kingdom in the future.
Even the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor only possessed one mythical-level relic space.
For this reason, the Wraith Lord had its sights set on Zheng Dong and refused to leave.
In addition to the Wraith Lord, many totem-level undead and totem-level Hell Asuras had also arrived in Wudu.
Under the leadership of these totem-level beings, the entire Wudu had fallen.
The Beast Taming Corps could not stop these undead and Hell Asuras.
The Wudu Beast Taming Master Association could only organize personnel to evacuate, minimizing losses and casualties.
In response to the sudden situation in Wudu, the Elder Council convened an emergency meeting.
Legendary Dragon Zhen sat at the head, his brow furrowed as he stared at the large screen.
The screen displayed satellite imagery.
Wudu had been reduced to a scene of devastation.
It was like the end of the world.
Ordinary people were completely incapable of dealing with such an unforeseen event.
Even most beast tamers only had the ability to protect themselves, and were unable to rescue others.
What should be done?
This disaster was the greatest in Yanhuang in decades.
"How many people are still alive in Wudu?" Legendary Dragon Zhen asked.
The screen switched, displaying the figure of Legendary Zhao Pu.
Legendary Zhao Pu, who had intended to leave Wudu and return to the imperial capital, stayed to participate in the rescue efforts when this incident occurred.
"Less than one in ten!" Legendary Zhao Pu said with a heavy heart.
Upon hearing this, Legendary Dragon Zhen and the others were shocked.
This was more severe than they had anticipated.
Following this, Legendary Dragon Zhen's expression turned serious as he stated:
"Saving lives is the primary objective. All available forces must be mobilized for rescue.
Furthermore, we must also intervene to eliminate the totem-level undead and Hell Asuras in Wudu.
Also, Wudu may not be salvageable. The otherworldly realm that appeared in Wudu is very likely to fully merge with Blue Star, and we need to prepare for that in advance."
"I agree with Legendary Dragon Zhen's decision. Based on the current situation, the predicament we face will only worsen. It is time to implement the Torch Plan and establish base cities," Legendary Ming suggested after some thought.
Regarding the future changes on Blue Star, each country had its own contingency plans.
Yanhuang also had plans in place long ago.
After all, with the re-integration of various worlds, humanity's advantages would cease to exist, and they would no longer be able to dominate Blue Star.
Humanity's living space would inevitably be suppressed.
Therefore, consolidating defenses, establishing base cities, and concentrating strength to ensure Yanhuang's continued existence was paramount.
The destruction of Wudu also served as an opportunity.
The Elder Council decided to implement the Torch Plan and establish the first base city.
The city would be located near Rongcheng.
The base city would be significantly safer, with multiple layers of defense constructed.
As the situation worsened, the danger would not only come from the ground but also potentially from underground.
Additionally, the base city would promote universal beast taming.
The Dragon Star Sea Urchin, which Zheng Dong had previously participated in cultivating, would also have its Dragon Gallbladder Fruit made available to ordinary people.
In addition, the Hybrid Bureau's research into hybrid potions and other plans to enhance the strength of ordinary humans would also be advanced concurrently.
Of course, the events in Wudu quickly spread abroad.
Countries such as Star Leaf Nation, North Maple Nation, and Radiant Nation also launched their respective plans to cope with the impending drastic changes on Blue Star.
However, there was also an optimistic faction that believed the situation in Wudu was merely an accident.
They believed that even if various worlds were to merge in the future, it would still be decades or even a century away.
Therefore, they felt there was no need for an overreaction.
Moreover, no one could predict the future with certainty.
After all, there was currently no concrete evidence to prove that all worlds would eventually merge.
Nor could anyone prove what the world was like in the mythical era.
Perhaps it was already like this?
For ordinary people, few were aware of the situation.
Only a few nearby cities had any understanding of the Wudu situation.
If too many people knew, it would only cause chaos and lead to unnecessary trouble.
The Elder Council decided to appropriately disclose the situation in Wudu once all measures were in place.
Consequently, all information regarding Wudu on the internet quickly disappeared.
Finally, Legendary Dragon Zhen, Legendary Ming, and others personally traveled to Wudu.
Because there were still many survivors in Wudu, using divine prohibition bombs was not suitable. The only viable method was to deploy totem-level pets to deal with the totem-level undead and Hell Asuras.
