The Peerless Emperor Chapter 676 677: True Biochemical Crisis

The sudden eruption of black aura caught everyone off guard, and beneath the entire Soul Martial Continent, changes had already taken place.

The changes in the earth were not referring to an underworld, but rather, beneath the soil of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, sothing was stirring.

Furthermore, even within the seabed of the oceanic territories, a similar unsettling transformation began to take place, as if sothing was struggling to climb out from below.

Thud!

Mud splattered as skeletons, comprised entirely of bones, suddenly climbed out from the rolling dirt. The pallid boned bodies had shaken off the soil after erging and the dirt had already fallen to the ground.

The stark white bodies were chilling to behold.

From within the earth, holes broke open one after another, and from these holes, the skeletons erged, shaking off the earth from their fras.

And in their cranial cavities, within the eye sockets, there flickered ominous dark flas that were truly horrifying.

In the depths of the ocean bed, within the silty soil of the deep waters, openings burst forth. One by one, enormous sea soul beast skeletons also broke through the earth.

It wasn't just sea soul beasts; the bones of the Sea Clan were also erging from beneath the seabed's soil, breaking through and roaming the waters, searching ticulously for living beings.

Aboveground, the bones that had once been buried beneath the earth, whether those of soul beasts or of various races, were all surging forth. In their eye sockets, without exception, burned flas of the sa hue as the black aura in the air above them.

Clearly, these bone corpses that had been subrged underground were drawn out by the erupting black aura, climbing out from below the earth's surface.

These various skeletons, with black flas flickering in their eye sockets, were constantly throbbing. After climbing out from the earth, their first act was to look around, familiarize themselves with the environnt, and then search for living beings to launch their attacks.

Whatever form the living beings around them took, as soon as they appeared within their field of vision, they would beco targets of attack.

Moreover, when these skeletons took action, their bodies were surrounded by a black aura imbued with the essence of soul power. Their bodies were rely bleak skeletal fraworks, yet unexpectedly sturdy.

However, the strength of the skeletons was rely equal to the Basic Three Realms at most, and then there were the skeletons of the Nirvana Realm. As for the number of Sky Breaking Realm skeletons, they were even scarcer, almost impossible to encounter.

The abrupt appearance of these skeletons caught everyone on the Soul Martial Continent off guard, and almost everywhere outside the Huaxia Empire, many suffered massive losses.

Whether it was the Human Clan or other races, the ordinary civilians bore the heaviest casualties. They were powerless and simply incapable of defending against the ubiquitous skeletons. Only a minority of sowhat powerful individuals managed to stand their ground against these skeletons, but the situation still looked bleak.

The territory of the Huaxia Empire, however, was particularly unique.

"Die!" In a village nestled within the mountains, the villagers wielded their Primordial Weapons with all their might. Although the blades were but simple and crude, they were still able to fight against the onslaught of skeletons.

Bang!

A burly man, clutching his Primordial Weapon in hand, slamd it viciously against a skeleton, smashing its skull into pieces, and then wiped the sweat from his brow.

At this point, the last skeleton in the village had been slain.

This scene was made possible entirely thanks to Lin Qian's plan for the evolution of all citizens. The rich nature's spiritual energy improved the physical condition of every citizen of the Huaxia Empire.

At the sa ti, the Potions that had been distributed were also taking effect, and the overall strength of every person in the Huaxia Empire had undergone an earth-shattering change. Although not everyone had reached the Nirvana Realm, they were very close to it, with almost half of the empire's younger generation being Nirvana Realm Soul Martial Artists.

As for the older generation, most were Soul Martial Artists of the Shape Origin Realm. It was for this reason that when these skeletons appeared, they did not induce panic; instead, the people took the initiative to strike and bravely fight the enemy.

However, their fighting with these skeletons was rely to indulge in a bit of hand-to-hand combat. The Imperial Army and War Beast Army stationed in this village responded imdiately, beginning to eradicate this group of troubleso skeletons.

In the face of the Imperial Army and War Beast Army, whose strength was all within the Life and Death Realm, the skeletons surrounding the village had all been wiped out, much to the relief of the villagers.

"Ever since His Majesty unified the Southern Domain, we haven't felt this sense of crisis in a long ti," said the burly man as he deactivated his Elental Weapon Armant, looking at the Imperial Army patrolling the village and the faintly visible figures of the War Beast Army in the nearby woods, he spoke to his companion, "But in this situation, I don't feel worried or tense at all."

"That's only natural. With His Majesty around, what could our Huaxia Empire possibly have to fear?" Another villager chuckled, looking down at the shattered bones beneath his feet, his expression turned ugly, "These things have crawled out from underground, so of them could be our ancestors."

"Damn it, what the hell is going on."

Within the entire Huaxia Empire, the Imperial Army and War Beast Army had strongholds everywhere, combined with the fact that every Huaxia person had greatly improved, during this crisis, the number of casualties was exceedingly low.

According to the statistics of the Heavenly Art Departnt, the entire Southern Domain had lost little more than ten thousand lives due to the appearance of the skeletons.

For the current Huaxia Empire, a loss of little more than ten thousand was nothing more than the population of so village and not worth ntioning at all. But Lin Qian, still broadcasting live on the Soul Vision Machine, mourned for those dead, blaming himself for not having protected them well, which made every Huaxia person's respect for him even more fervent.

Although to the Huaxia Empire, ten thousand lives may not seem like much, in Lin Qian's heart, he was still very sad and extrely self-reproachful.

Subsequently, Lin Qian issued a direct order for the Imperial Army and the War Beast Army to defend strictly, and for all Soul Martial Artists to stop their current tasks and rush back to their hotowns to assist in defense, to prevent unexpected occurrences.

Not one Soul Martial Artist objected to Lin Qian's orders; they all followed his command and returned to their hotowns.

Not long after, they were incredibly grateful that Lin Qian had given them this order.

Because what was crawling up from the ground were no longer just skeletons. Beings that were of the Sky Breaking Realm began to erge, their flesh rotting and emitting a foul sll, but they were not re skeletal fras. On their bodies, rotten flesh hung in tatters.

Compared to those skeletal figures, these walking corpses with rotting flesh on them were much more difficult to deal with.

Lin Qian, aware of the situation, rubbed his forehead: "I just ntioned planning to shoot a 'Resident Evil' in the empire, and now a real version of it has co?"
