The ceremony for worshipping the heavens was a big day for Ferris.

He had already sent Potter to bring back his most perfect container up here. Ferris wanted to see how well Ludwick had trained him and to see if there was any advancement with the green divine undying insect.

He never imagined he would receive the news of his troops being annihilated at the Purgatory instead.

This made him extremely angry.

This anger was like a primal rage.

Utter fury!

Ferris was so angry that he started trembling. Even the insect on his head couldn't help but curl into a ball from fear.

"I will kill you all, one at a time!"

Shouted Ferris as his whole body was enveloped by flames made up of a death aura. This terrifying energy that was surging out of him made the experts from the evil sects back away from him. Their faces turned pale, and their expressions turned ugly.

Also at this time, Maxwell, Ludwick, Adam and Lilith came up to the surface and weren't far from the Dark King's Palace.

The moment they appeared on the surface, Ferris was able to sense their presence. His eyes turned grim, his voice turned cold and disdainful as he roared: "You want to turn things around with just the four of you! This King will use your heads as sacrifice to the heavens!"

"If you have the guts, then come take it right now!" Maxwell coldly roared out in response. With the momentum behind his new rank, he wasn't afraid of Ferris at all. His aura might even be a bit stronger than Ferris's!

Of course, just a strong momentum wasn't very useful.

Ferris coldly smiled as his gaze turned to the direction of Maxwell. His expression suddenly became stunned as a metaphorical boom sounded off in his heart. He never imagined that in just a few days, Maxwell's strength would reach the Diamond rank. What on earth happened to him this past seven days?

Ferris had a rather ugly look on his face right now. His gaze landed on Ludwick's face, which seemed to have a faint, casual smile on it. Ferris's expression turned grim as he said disdainfully: "You damn old fogey, you think that by raising his level, he'll be able to deal with me?"

"Even ten more level 5 diamond rankers can only dream of being my opponent! Also, do you know where you are right now?"

"This is the Dead City, a place where I'm the overlord of!"

Ludwick maintained his innocent expression as he said, "I really didn't do anything, but if you force this responsibility on me, we'll pretend that I did do it then. Ferris, you are the Gnome race's biggest sinner! You won't be able to escape your death today, so I advise you to..."

Ferris impatiently interrupted Ludwick's words and shouted, "You old bastard, this king is already bored with the conversation. Since you all want to die, then this King will fulfil your wish!"

"All undying guards listen to my command!"

"Kill them all for this king, and I will bestow on you eternal life!"

In a mere instant, a brief black light flashed in the eyes of all the undying guards. They then shouted in unison: "Dark King... Eternal life!"

"Kill them for me!"

This was like an ocean tide; a high tide that ferociously surged forth, trying to destroy its target.

The black tidal wave came crushing down towards Maxwell and company!

"There seems to be a tad too many undying guards here."

"How are we going to fight them?"

"Before we even reach the Dark King's Palace, I'm afraid we'd be smothered to death already. Maxwell, what do you think we should do?"

Adam revealed a deep frown as he watched the tide of undying guards charging over; his heart couldn't help but feel shaken up a bit by this.

Both Lilith and Ludwick looked at Maxwell.

There were simply too many of them.

These undying guards weren't like the low-level ones stumbling around in the Purgatory. The cultivation levels these had were at level 5 gold rank or higher. The undying insect inside their brains was also at least silver rank or above. With tens of thousands of these undying guards together, their combat power had basically become extremely strong. Even if an expert at the Platinum rank were here, their heart would be shaken up a bit.

Standing behind Ferris, some experts of the Demon sects had their minds blown by the shocking scene they were witnessing. At the same time, they were imagining how great it would be if they, too, possessed such a large army at their disposal.

Indeed, with so many undying guards here, those four would definitely tire themselves to death.

The amount of mana they possessed would not be enough for a long, drawn-out battle. In addition to that, these undying guards will not tire and do not feel pain. The only command in their mind right now was to kill those four, and they will either accomplish that or die trying!

Ludwick's expression also started paling.

The three of them unconsciously looked towards Maxwell for an answer.

Maxwell actually had a sly and cheap expression on his face while he pulled out a dozen zero-space storage.

These were considered low-quality items.

It was the most trashiest storage device known, where one can buy a bunch at the market stalls for a few silver coins each. The three of them showed a puzzled expression upon seeing Maxwell take out so many of them.

Ferris started laughing coldly at this sight. "You wish to squash this king's undying guards with all those? This king is really scared now, hahaha..."

"I think shit must've entered the kid's brain."

"I guess that he's been scared silly."

"Hey, kid, we haven't even started yet. You might be even crying for your mommy in a little bit, hahaha..."

Endless words of ridicule were heard from the guards rushing over.

Maxwell clearly heard everything they said, but he still sneered in disdain. He then coldly said, "Laugh, just laugh to your fullest, you jokers. I'll make every one of you start crying in just a bit."

The undying army had almost reached them.

Those four could already feel the powerful death aura starting to form an oppressive pressure against them.

At this time, Maxwell was still pulling out his zero storage spaces and fiddling with them. What on earth was he trying to do?

Adam didn't ask.

With his royal qi surging out of him, he was protecting one side of Maxwell in a rather imposing manner.

On the other side of Maxwell was Lilith. Her brows were frowning as her mental state was ready for battle. She was just like Adam, protecting one side of him in a steadfast manner.

They didn't know what Maxwell was doing, but they believed that he must be doing something very important.

It was the same for Ludwick.

Maxwell had simply shocked them too much. Even if he were to continue doing other weird things, they would no longer feel that it was strange. Watching how Maxwell was fiddling around with his zero storage space, all they could feel in their hearts was that these undying guards would be screwed very soon.

Cold sweat appeared on Maxwell's forehead as he bitterly complained internally: "If I had known I would be doing this in Eden, I would've bought myself a better storage. Now look at me wasting my time with all these."

Adam and the other two weren't anxious, but Maxwell was.

Looking at the mass of black figures approaching, Maxwell's heart was trembling. Trembling in excitement that is, as he mumbled to himself: "Look at how much XP this is..."

Suddenly, several undying guards ran out ahead of the pack.

Maxwell didn't make any moves except for continuously pulling out more storage. In front of him was a huge pile of zero storage spaces that looked like bamboo slips from ancient times.

Adam and Lilith's bodies moved; their swords stabbed out before returning to their place.

The moment they returned to their original position, two corpses fell from the air.

Their heads were partially sliced off, and black water formed a puddle beneath them. In the black water was an insect that had become stiff.

Ferris's expression changed as he shouted, "Kill them for me!"

Also at the same time, Maxwell wiped the sweat off his forehead before smiling evilly. "I've finally finished preparing them!"
