Not far from the fierce battlefield, Tippolava Momo’s condition was terrible, as his emotions were on the verge of spiraling out of control, almost destroying the body he currently occupied.
He pierced the head of an Xindu man with his palm, digging out a ball of purple gel-like energy.
This was the true form of an ascendant. After consuming enough source essence, the ascendants would metamorphose into this semi-energy, semi-material gel. This form wouldn’t immediately disappear under the gaze of the Child of Plutonium without the protection of a body.
Even so, the gel was still writhing in pain, melting and evaporating like ice cubes under the scorching sun.
He was an ascendant who had escaped from the Source Ocean along with Tippolava Momo. Together with the other two ascendants, Jin He and Duyin, he was responsible for herding this group of zombies.
His strength among the ascendants was not weak, and ordinary fourth-level Awakeners would not be a match for him. However, when facing Tippolava Momo, he was as powerless as a baby.
The astonishing number of zombies had been painstakingly collected by Tippolava Momo from the wilderness and hidden at the bottom of the Mohanendi River.
Tippolava Momo had two purposes for doing this. One was to drive these zombies to search for the possible ritual location of the Soul Cult. The second was to use these zombies as a backup plan, so that if things went awry, he could release them all to create chaos and provide an opportunity to escape.
As a backup plan, most of the ascendants were not aware of his scheme.
Zombies didn’t need to breathe and could hide at the bottom of the river for a long time. However, their desire and hatred for life made them easily disturbed by humans on the riverbank, exposing themselves.
So Tippolava Momo sent three trusted ascendants to take turns herding these zombies at the bottom of the river. Until today, there had been no major incidents.
Even when fishermen accidentally caught zombies from the riverbed, they were silently dealt with by the ascendants.
He hadn’t expected that, after being slightly distracted by other matters, these zombies would cause him such a huge problem.
“Tippolava Momo! Tippolava Momo! Please spare me, I really didn’t betray you!”
Before an ascendant reached a certain level of strength, if they were exposed to the air without the protection of the body they were occupying, they would not last long and would eventually disappear completely.
“Then why did Jin He and Duyin die, leaving only you alive?”
It was Jin He and Duyin’s turn to herd these zombies today. But now they had vanished like thin air.
Tippolava Momo was confident that as long as they were still in Avonigarda City, they would not be able to escape his perception. These two ascendants had been quietly killed off.
This made Tippolava Momo somewhat frightened. ascendants could be said to be the most adept at disguising themselves. Who could accurately locate their positions and then silently eliminate them?
Based on the time the zombies lost control, it hadn’t been long since the two of them were killed. Yet Tippolava Momo couldn’t find any traces of a battle nearby.
He was both alarmed and furious, and there was even a hint of fear that he hadn’t noticed himself.
Jin He and Duyin were dead, but what about the other ascendants? Could it be that the World-Ending Dragon had already broken free?!
No… no… there was absolutely no possibility of that!

Just as the entire city of Avonigarda was being turned upside down by these suddenly emerging zombies, Li Mu was already on his way to the Orissa jurisdiction. He chose not to ride on Fei Lian or a black crane, but to disguise himself as a common scavenger in the wilderness, wearing a dirty jumpsuit and an iron sheet vest. He covered himself with a robe coated with rat tail palm juice to ward off radiation in the wilderness.
He led a Brahman bull, walking behind Li Mei and Shen Luoyan, who were also wearing robes to conceal their figures.
This disguise was prepared in advance by Li Mei.
They were still close to Avonigarda city, and leaving from the air would easily attract the attention of the affiliated forces’ planes and anti-aircraft systems, which were not as weak against air attacks as the Soul Cult.
Li Mu focused on the Exile Realm.
【Item detected, extracting…】
【Type I Psychic Energy Engine *3: A power core produced by a civilization that disappeared in history, capable of extracting source essence from the Source Ocean to convert into psychic energy, used to drive small vehicles, powered armor, and has a not weak storage of spirit energy function】
【Runes of Aichiyafa *2: Psychic energy runes created by mimicking the relic of a destroyed civilization, can be blessed on long-range weapons, consuming psychic energy to attach spirit energy flames to the projectiles】
【Runes of Quwei Sat *3: Psychic energy runes created by mimicking the relic, can be blessed on armor, shields, or the body, generating a force field shield by consuming psychic energy】
These were the relics left behind by the ascendant Jin He and Duyin in this world.
Li Mu asked Tippolava Momo to send his ascendants to create chaos in Avonigarda city, not to cause trouble for the Santanu family, but to expose those ascendants lurking among the humans.
Both the Governor and the Soul Cult suffered significant weakening and damage. These ascendants became like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows.
Especially their leader, Tippolava Momo, who was very dangerous and difficult to deal with. In the current situation, Tippolava Momo’s attitude could change, and he could have some ideas that he shouldn’t have.
Li Mu had been thinking about how to strike at the ascendants before entering the Governor’s giant greenhouse.
The ascendants in Avonigarda city had long been suffocated, and after Tippolava Momo issued the order to create chaos, they couldn’t wait to attack humans and harvest souls.
The whereabouts of these ascendants were clearly seen by the birds released by Li Mu.
In particular, Jin He and Duyin and the others, through whom Li Mu learned that there were so many zombies hidden beneath the Mohanendi River. Ordinary zombies were easy to deal with, but those special individuals were very tricky.
Knowing the existence of these zombies, Li Mu immediately realized that now was the best time to release them.
The affiliated forces were enforcing martial law, so they wouldn’t be caught off guard by the appearance of the zombies, allowing them to wreak havoc in the city of Avonigarda while minimizing casualties.
If they were to appear when the sheriff and the affiliated forces were unprepared, they could cause the deaths of thousands.
The unprepared ascendants, when faced with Li Mu’s sneak attack, had almost no resistance, and were killed instantly like lambs.
They never thought that they would be hunted as prey one day.
If it weren’t for the fear of alarming Tippolava Momo, Li Mu would even want to hunt down all the ascendants in the city of Avonigarda. After loading the new industrial expansion module, the items transformed by these ascendants were very practical.
