Monarch of Time

A little more than 5 miles away from the city, a group of nearly 130 disciples were gathered there, all of them staring at the undead army in front of Liu Mei with disbelieving looks on their faces.

An army of more than 1000 jade-white skeletons were following behind 50 undead knights that were clad in black armor, as they all headed towards the city gates in the distance!

However, neither the 1000 white skeletons nor the 50 undead knights were the most eye-catching and shocking creatures in this scene.

Instead, right in the midst of the white skeleton army was an enormous 30m(100ft) tall bizarre undead beast, with a white-robed, white-veiled young woman sitting on its back!

This beast's appearance was extremely sinister and bizarre.

It had 4 thick and large black-colored legs that resembled horse hooves, as well as a gigantic body, but it didn't have any arms or a head!

Instead, in the region of its torso was a large, black-colored mouth, with rows of white teeth being exposed.

The appearance of this creature was so terrifying, that it brought chills down to the spines of everyone who turned their eyes towards it, while even the criminals on top of the city walls were no exception to this.

''What... What is this thing?''

''It-It looks like some kind of magic beast !?''

''Is this thing even a magic beast? Its aura is clearly at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage, but why does it feel so terrifying then?''

The 'criminals' on the city walls had shocked expressions on their faces as they stared at the enormous creature that Liu Mei was standing on, as they immediately prepared themselves for battle!

Liu Mei however had an unperturbed expression in her eyes, as she ordered her skeletons to continue marching forward towards the city gates.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, she had not only formed her own soul sense, but she also saw a huge increase in her spiritual strength as well!

At the same time, the number of skeletons and undead knights that she could summon increased by many times, but that wasn't the biggest change.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Liu Mei also noticed, that she could use a large amount of her qi to summon this enormous creature as well, which she ended up naming Death eater!

The Death Eater's cultivation was at the same level as hers, and the same level as her undead knights at the same time, at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage, but its strength wasn't that simple.

Not only could it easily trample ten undead knights with a single stomp if it wanted, but Liu Mei could feel an intense hunger coming from this beast!

At the same time, that wasn't the third major change that Liu Mei noticed upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Her skeletons and undead knights seemed to have become stronger, but now, she also had to use her own spirit sense, no, her own soul sense to restrain them from escaping her control!

Of course, this was a result of Liu Mei's Dao of Death strengthening itself, giving consciousness to her undead knights and her skeletons, and allowing them to become many times stronger during a fight!

Originally, Liu Mei knew that it needed around 10 of her skeletons if they wanted to kill a single cultivator at the same level as them, but after her breakthrough, 5 skeletons at the peak of rank 9 of the Spirit realm could probably take care of a peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivator without too much difficulty!

The biggest problem that Liu Mei faced however, was using her soul sense to control the enormous Death eater!

This creature had terrifying urges to consume everything around it and cause endless havoc and death at its surroundings.

Of course, although it was challenging to control this undead creature, Liu Mei also knew that its strength was definitely terrifying!

Although she hadn't tested it just yet, she could clearly feel that, even if her 1000 skeletons and her 50 undead knights combined their strengths and attacked the Death eater together at the same time, they may not necessarily win!

Of course, to obtain this level of strength, Liu Mei's breakthrough was anything but easy!

She had nearly fallen into the depths of hell, as the Blood Absorption art showed its negative effects for the first time.

During her breakthrough, she could feel an intense feeling of bloodlust sprouting from inside her, trying to affect her mind, almost as if it was trying to corrupt her and turn her into a bloodthirsty demon that wanted nothing but chaos!

It was at that moment that the purple-colored pill that she had consumed before her breakthrough finally showed its effects!

This pill was something that Shun Long had personally concocted for her using the rank 5 'Dreamy ash flower' as the main ingredient.

Based on what the alchemists in the 'City of Sin' knew, the 'Dreamy ash flower' had only one use:

To be grinded into dust and produce a powder that could help a cultivator who was suffering from mental illnesses!

However, Shun Long knew that this wasn't the only use of this rank 5 medicinal herb.

Using it as the main medicinal ingredient, he could concoct a pill that could help Liu Mei retain clarity in her mind, and suppress the negative effects that the 'Blood Absorption art' had on her during her breakthrough!

Of course, as a top-grade rank 5 pill, the effects that the pill had on the peak rank 9 Spirit realm Liu Mei were extremely potent, helping her suppress the bloodlust from the 'Blood Absorption art' in the end and allowing her to successfully complete her breakthrough.

Standing on the Death Eater's back, Liu Mei first threw a glance at the disciples who were staring at her from the plains a few miles away from the city, before she turned her attention back towards the enormous city gates, and the 'criminals' of the Holy sect who were stationed there.
