When Zhou Fan looked over, he saw a slash of space Qi flying towards him at a speed faster than light. The ground started to rumble and a pressure descended upon Zhou Fan as it came closer.
Zhou Fan turned his body towards the attack and slashed out with death Qi, forming a similar crescent that collided with the Space Qi in mid air.
Due to the fact that Zhou Fan held his strength back at the level of a level five void traversing cultivator, the attacks stopped traveling when they collided and pushed at each other in mid air.
The tug of war lasted for three more seconds before both powers dissipated. As they did so, a woman dressed in light purple robes appeared in the air. Her entire body was giving off an incredible amount of killing intent and her eyes were on the verge of popping.
Zhou Fan stood still in the air as the killing intent covered him. He let it drown him for a moment before he released a killing intent of his own.
In order to keep up with the character of death, he made sure that his killing intent was more powerful and far more sinister. Even so, Anna simply shivered for a moment before she snorted and blocked the killing intent from even reaching her.
"Who are you?" She asked. It appeared that she hadn't heard the earlier conversation.
"I am death. I am the end. I have come for you and your people." Zhou Fan repeated in the same way he had earlier.
"When you say "your people", I assume you mean celestials. Are you in cahoots with the other races?" She asked solemnly.
"No. I have come for all the residents of the Zhou World. I will decimate all living beings and set sail upon the bones of your kin. In your brief moments of life before I slaughter you, I will make sure you feel absolute despair.I am death. I am the end. I have come for you and your people. I have come for your world." Zhou Fan said.
The final goal was not to simply grow the celestial's strength, but to grow the entire Zhou World's strength. Even those of the future should have nightmares at the mention of his name.
When Anna heard Zhou Fan's words, her eyes flew open. For a moment she seemed shocked. Then, she started to laugh.
"Are you telling me that you think you can destroy the world? With your meager strength nonetheless? Hahahahaha! You and what army?" She asked mockingly. Her words made sense. Before, Zhou Fan could only tie with her. If she were to work together with the whole world, it could only spell 'Zhou Fans' doom.
"What army?" Zhou Fan asked rhetorically.
He then let his scythe float beside him as he raised his hands in the air.
"RISE!" He said, his words echoing throughout the Zhou World once again.
Cracks started to form in the ground around the area where Zhou Fan and Anna were fighting. All of a sudden, a skeletal hand reached out from the ground. It seemed to set off a chain reaction as similar skeletal hands reached out from the ground and pulled themselves up. What crawled out of the ground was not a living being, but a skeleton.
The skeletons had not come back to life, but were powered by Qi and had the sole instinct to kill other life.
There were two types of skeletons that were "Reanimated". The first type were the ones that had lived in the past. That group was made up entirely from dead celestials. The other type was the one that Zhou Fan had constructed in that second where he raised his hand.
They were made completely out of Qi and resembled humans more than celestials. However, they were perfectly disguised and nobody would notice that they were made up from Qi.
Zhou Fan was winging the spell, but the results were great. Even the stoic and brave Anna had a face as white as a sheet of paper. She stared at the skeletons and her face became even whiter when she recognized some of the skeletons.
Many of them had died by her side in the wars with the other races. She even saw a few of her most trusted generals and students that had died long ago.
Besides the emotional effect of the spell, there was another part of the spell that made it terrifying. The skeletons that were raised from the dead had the exact strength they had when they died. That meant that at this moment, more than 10 soul formation cultivators joined Zhou Fan's side, including the ones he killed not long ago.
Once all the skeletons got out of the ground, Zhou Fan looked at Anna.
"This army." He said simply. "And as I kill more and more of your friends and family, even your enemies, my army will only grow stronger."
Without another word, the army of skeletons started to attack the soul formation cultivators that had been watching in the back since the start of the battle. They were immediately outnumbered in terms of soul formation cultivators and the nascent soul cultivators were just an icing on the cake.
For the first time since the start of the battle, Anna was starting to think that she may lose. However, she hadn't battled for 10,000 years for nothing. As she saw the soul formation cultivators on her side being pushed back, she instantly started to attack Zhou Fan with all her might.
She first punched forward with her fist covered in space Qi. Zhou Fan counter attacked with the tip of his scythe and they both pushed each other back. Due to her Space affinity, she was almost equal to Zhou Fan who only used Death Qi and restrained his strength to the fifth level of void traversing, despite being at the fourth level of void traversing herself.
Zhou Fan moved around with the scythe and became more and more used to using it. He eventually started to push Anna back. She responded by revealing another one of her affinities. Ice Qi.
