Seeing this uncountable number of Undeads charging towards the Tainted Blood Overlord, Lin Yun felt relieved.
Most of the time, the Overlords wouldn't make a move in a war of the Undeads. The war was a war of attrition between countless cannon fodders. In the end, two Overlords would appear and fight. Whoever devoured the other's Soul Fire would obtain the authority of all the cannon fodders and occupy the contested territory.
And this kind of war of attrition between cannon fodders would last for a very long time. Ymir didn't need to get rid of all the Undeads there, he only needed to make this war of attrition even more intense.
What would a Ghoul that only wanted to occupy the Tainted Blood Overlord do after arriving there? It would definitely make the already chaotic civil strife even more chaotic.
Skeleton Warriors, Ghouls, Zombies, these low-level Undeads … If one or two of them got the favor of fate, they would occasionally rise above the masses and become even more powerful existences. The disadvantage of the low-level Undeads would become an advantage.
In Noscent's words, Skeletons didn't have human rights. The probability of a low-level Ghoul becoming an Extraordinary lifeform was only slightly higher than the probability of a Skeleton Warrior becoming an Extraordinary lifeform.
The possibility of dying midway was simply too high. Perhaps some powerful creature would snap their necks on a whim, just like stepping on an ant. They would definitely not give it a second glance, nor would they remember it.
But after becoming an Extraordinary lifeform, if they wanted to occupy a territory, it would be too easy to summon an Undead army.
Ymir, that Ghoul, had never summoned an Undead Army before, but when he wanted one, it only took him three days to gather countless Undead that filled Lin Yun's line of sight. Moreover, the number of Undead Army kept increasing as they moved forward.
A conservative estimate was that there were over a hundred million Undeads following Ymir towards the Tainted Blood Overlord. By the time they reached the Tainted Blood Overlord, the number of Undeads would definitely double.
This was the advantage of low-level Undeads. It was too easy to gather their own kind. They only needed to reveal their aura and countless muddle-headed Undeads would flock over.
The most common type of skeletons were the low-level Skeleton Soldiers, and the ones with the most bodies were the Ghouls.
Ymir's army took a few days to completely disappear from Lin Yun's sight, and a smile could be seen at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.
At first, he felt that Ymir was too stupid to kill him. He actually mistook a disguised human mage for a familiar dark lifeform.
But now, he would let that pitiful Ghoul start a war.
He didn't need to kill those Level-47 Undead Lords to occupy the Tainted Blood Lordship. He just needed to drag more Undead Lords into the quagmire of war. After a few years, it would be much easier to cut off the connection between the Leviathan Plane and the Undead Plane.
Ymir was like countless Bloody Mary, thoroughly disappearing. He had probably forgotten that his friend Bao Di was not with him.
"Clap, clap, clap …"
A crisp applause echoed behind Lin Yun as a pale Vampire wrapped in a black cloak floated there. The Vampire had a brilliant smile on his face as he extended his tongue and softly licked the corner of his mouth.
"Truly marvelous, human powerhouse from Noscent. I can hear your heartbeat from ten kilometers away. The sound of boiling blood flowing, the aura of fresh life, it attracts me all the time.
"Only I can enjoy this rare delicacy. That stupid and pitiful Ghoul finally left. Now, human powerhouse from Noscent, aren't you going to introduce yourself?
"Oh, right, my name is Vlad, one of the ancestors of the Vampires. I am ranked 12th, please remember this."
Lin Yun turned and coldly glanced at Vlad.
"It's only been a few days, yet your patience isn't good enough. You don't look like a powerhouse from the Undead Plane."
Vlad casually took out a scarlet throne made of bones and sat in the air, smiling as he looked at Lin Yun.
"Oh, human powerhouse, you don't need to look. As you humans would say, everything that moves within a hundred kilometers has been killed by me. I want to enjoy you, you don't need to struggle.
"You don't need to take out your Saint Bloodwood Awl, I know you have it. That slut Lilith will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to make a deal with you. But I'm quite surprised that you didn't lose any soul power. But this is even better, this is the most perfect delicacy."
After saying that, Vlad's body suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Lin Yun, still sitting on the throne. There were no spatial fluctuations in the surroundings. This was speed, pure speed that surpassed the limits of visual reaction, and even surpassed the speed of mana reaction.
Lin Yun took out his staff and the Saint Bloodwood Awl in his other hand. But the Saint Bloodwood Awl disappeared in an instant. Vlad, who was sitting on the throne, was fiddling with the Saint Bloodwood Awl in his hand.
"Pitiful fellow, I think you must have been tricked by that slut Lilith. This isn't the Saint Bloodwood Awl at all. It looks more like an object that contains loathsome power and is very fragile …"
Lin Yun nodded.
"Yes, I know, because I was the one who made it."
Just as Lin Yun said those words, Vlad's expression slightly changed. The Sacred Bloodwood Awl in his hand suddenly split open, and the power of light burst out from within. It was as if a glaring sphere of light had exploded in the sky, and the throne Vlad was sitting on was instantly purified into nothingness. Vlad let out a blood-curdling scream as he appeared in the air.
Half of his face looked as if it had been scorched by flames. His skin was gone, and his arms and palms looked as if they had lost their skin as they were dripping with blood.
"Damn it, the power of light, the scroll of light … Damn it, that slut Lilith must have traded it to you. Pitiful fellow, you're too naive. Such a disgusting thing has no effect on me …"
Vlad clenched his teeth, his eyes turning blood-red and his fangs protruding from his lips. A terrifying aura of darkness spread out as the damaged skin on his face rapidly healed. In less than two seconds, all his wounds had healed, and it looked as if he had not been injured at all.
Lin Yun's expression didn't change. He already knew that the Holy Light Descend Scroll wouldn't be able to kill Vlad, it wouldn't even be able to injure him. But the Holy Light Descend Scroll had a special characteristic, and that was that it would leave a mark, especially on dark lifeforms. It was as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the night.
Vlad, one of the primogenitors of vampires, possessed unparalleled speed to the point that champions of the same level would not be able to catch him with their eyes. This was another reason why Vlad was so bold despite being a primogenitor of vampires. He was unkillable and fast, which was why no one was willing to kill him no matter how high-profile he was.
As long as Vlad could not be killed on the first try, he would have to wait for this eternal fellow to take revenge over countless years.
From the day he left Obsidian City, Lin Yun was absolutely certain that he had been targeted by vampires. Apart from Vlad, no other vampires could see through his disguise. Even if Obsidian City suppressed most of its strength, only Vlad could possibly sense something.
Therefore, Lin Yun was in no hurry to leave. Apart from investigating, he also took the opportunity to make some preparations. Wanting to kill a primogenitor in one go, and a level 47 one at that, wasn't something that could be done casually.
Moreover, if he didn't get rid of this guy, who knew when Vlad would suddenly jump out and make a move? He might even follow him to the Plane of Bones and discover many things.
Vlad sneered and vanished on the spot. The next moment, Lin Yun suddenly propped up his Fusion Shield. More than half of the law runes on the shield instantly gathered at the side of his body.
In a split second, Vlad appeared out of nowhere and extended his hand. His blood-colored fingernails collided with the Fusion Shield, and the intense energy collision made the countless law runes churn crazily as if they had fallen into boiling water.
Vlad disappeared once again after failing to tear apart Lin Yun's Fusion Shield. He instantly reappeared on the other side of Lin Yun with a cold sneer on his face. He casually swung his claw and clashed with Lin Yun's Fusion Shield once more.
Mana fluctuations turned into fierce ripples that spread out. Law runes throbbed frantically. In a second, Vlad's claw and Lin Yun's Fusion Shield collided at least a hundred times.
After failing to tear apart Lin Yun's Fusion Shield twice, the smile on Vlad's face disappeared a bit. He extended his other hand and five blood-colored fingernails slowly grew out of his slender fingers.
When Vlad disappeared once again, blood-colored traces crisscrossed around Lin Yun and instantly tore apart the Fusion Shield. Even Lin Yun, who was within the Fusion Shield, was torn apart. These fragments then transformed into distorted phantoms before thoroughly dissipating.
Vlad stood in the air, stunned as he looked at those dissipating phantoms. He hadn't expected that Lin Yun would actually be able to dodge them.
Lin Yun appeared a few hundred meters away with a serious expression. Even if he left a mark on that guy's body, he was still troublesome to deal with. That frightening speed was simply unsolvable. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array had to simultaneously capture the position and trajectory of the mark, yet they had to use two-thirds of their power.
According to that calculation, even if he went all-out, he would only barely be able to capture Vlad's trajectory. He simply wouldn't be able to hit that guy. If he didn't weaken that guy's speed, he might really die here.
The Book of Mantras transformed into a hundred-meter-tall gate that appeared in the air. The power of the four elements surged out of the gate and the terrifying power stirred the surrounding space, forcibly dispersing all power that didn't belong to the four elements. Everything within three kilometers sank into a strange and chaotic state.
Here, the elements of fire, water, and wind had all become unstable, as if reversing according to the world's evolution, returning the place to its most chaotic state. In such an elemental berserk zone, Vlad's speed was noticeably slower. Although he could easily break through the obstruction of the storms, he had to slow down a little.
And it was this tiny bit that made the originally terrifying speed that was hard to capture become something that could be captured. At the very least, when capturing the mark, it was easy to capture the position of the mark's movement.
The Book of Mantras created such a chaotic elemental area, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel frantically revolved, capturing the position of the mark, calculating Vlad's trajectory and predicting where he would appear.
A Four Element Law Bomb was released, and according to its trajectory, it should have hit Vlad. But Lin Yun could sense that the mark should have been hit, but at the last moment, it changed direction and avoided the Four Element Law Bomb.
Vlad floated in the air, a mocking smile on his face.
"Truly a pitiful guy, don't tell me you think you can defeat me like this? "Since you know about that damned Saint Bloodwood Awl and that this weapon can thoroughly kill me, you should also know how difficult it is to thoroughly kill a Vampire Ancestor.
"Pitiful guy, don't struggle, I can already smell the fragrance of your blood, your heart is palpitating in fear. Now, it's time for the main course, it's the most delicious part.
"Rest assured, I won't kill you so easily. Such delicious food, you have to eat at least two meals, no, three meals, right, three meals, I have to divide it into three meals …"
Lin Yun calmly looked at Vlad, his expression becoming more and more serious. The gap between him and a Level 47 Vampire made him feel powerless.
If it had been an ordinary 5th Rank Heaven Mage, they would have been sucked dry within three seconds and wouldn't have been able to resist. 6th Rank Heaven Mages would at most be able to struggle for half a minute, and that was when Vlad wasn't in a hurry to get rid of his prey.
Moreover, Vlad was one of the Vampires' Ancestors, he had terrifying speed, recovery, and resurrection abilities. Apart from holy mages with special weapons, no one at the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm would be able to get rid of that guy. It was even unknown if they could survive.
"Snap …"
A sharp sound echoed as the shield was thoroughly torn apart. This time, Vlad's speed had reached an unimaginable level. He could only sense the mark's position, but he didn't have time to react before the shield was easily torn apart.
Vlad's claws clawed at Lin Yun's right arm. The magic robe's defense was negligible, and a ten-centimeter-long wound appeared on Lin Yun's right arm.
Vlad suddenly appeared in the air once again, his claws already stained with a trace of blood. That guy had a strange smile on his face as he softly swallowed the blood on his hand as if he had eaten some peerless delicacy.
"Ah … Such a rare delicacy. No, it's even more delicious than I imagined. I should have waited for your pure mana to thoroughly boil, for your soul to thoroughly boil, for everything to thoroughly merge with your blood. Then, I would have swallowed your mana, your soul, your blood, your everything.
"An innate Extraordinary Lifeform, it's actually an innate Extraordinary Lifeform. My luck is too good. It doesn't matter what you are, you are a true innate Extraordinary Lifeform. How many years has it been? Ten thousand years? Twenty thousand years? No, I've forgotten how long it's been since I've tasted an innate Extraordinary Lifeform.
A level 45 innate Extraordinary Lifeform … What a blessing of fate. No, I should say favoritism. To be honest, I can't afford to offend any innate Extraordinary Lifeforms that still exist … "
Hovering in the air, Lin Yun suddenly had a bold idea when he saw Vlad's drunken appearance. Or perhaps it should be said that he suddenly thought of something from legends.
According to the legends, vampires weren't creatures born purely from the Undead Plane. Instead, they were lifeforms born from external forces in the Undead Plane. They were born from death, and the source of life of a living being, which was what the Undead Plane lacked the most, was fresh blood. This was the source of power for these guys.
That was why they began to chase after fresh blood. They chased after all living beings, especially those that lived under the sun. Fresh blood was what they desired the most.
However, there were other legends that had not been verified. After all, in the world of mages, only things that were completely certain would be recorded as the truth.
There was no hope of winning in a head-on battle, so he could only look for other methods.
Lin Yun had a calm expression as he slowly roused his mana. The shadow of the Demiplane appeared behind him and the power of the Laws turned into an invisible power that curled around his body. Within the shadow of the Demiplane, the truth runes on the pillar shone one after the other and the Natural Demiplane's Law Projection fell down.
The power of the Laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind appeared in front of Lin Yun. In an instant, a flood of runes appeared in Lin Yun's eyes as the comprehension of the Laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind transformed into a flood that washed over him.
The mana within the Demiplane also started being mobilized by Lin Yun. A large amount of mana flowed into Lin Yun's body. The pure and huge amount of mana flowed through Lin Yun's body and made the mana within Lin Yun's body surpass the upper limit.
But because he was an innate Extraordinary lifeform, this surpassing mana didn't affect Lin Yun. Instead, it took the initiative to merge with Lin Yun's muscles, bones, and blood.
As the pure mana kept merging with his blood, Vlad's attraction reached an uncontrollable level. The blood of powerful lifeforms, especially humans, were the most suitable lifeforms for Vampires to devour.
And Lin Yun was the most suitable human for Vampires to devour.
"Such a sweet smell, this fragrance is even more attractive than poison. I can't resist this delicacy anymore. Human powerhouse, accept your fate. I've decided to let you live on and continue to provide me with this delicacy that I can't refuse …"
Vlad was like a vampire that had been starving for a long time and finally smelled blood. His speed instantly increased to the extreme and he tore through Lin Yun's shield once again. His two claws stabbed into Lin Yun's shoulders and he revealed his fangs as he ruthlessly bit Lin Yun's neck.
That frightening speed and power made all of Lin Yun's defenses as fragile as paper.
