All human cultivators were annihilated, at least in the sky, but those who practiced magic cultivation underground still fell within the perception of the undead creatures.
The sky had calmed down, but the battle beneath the sand grew even more perilous.
The undead creatures had fortified the defenses of Xunfeng Valley to the extreme. Despite the attack of dozens of cultivators, they had not yet exerted their full strength. Numerous undead creatures were still ambushin, buried beneath the sand layers. As soon as the magic cultivators dived into the sand, a battle ensued, and this was before Hou Niao had feigned death and fallen.
For both sides involved in the underground battle, there was a sense of not being able to fully exert themselves; the undead were like this, as were the humans. Physical attacks were restricted, the power of their techniques greatly weakened, not to mention visibility—Divine Sense was drastically reduced to nearly operating blind and hitting randomly.
