Edward laughed heartily. Lin Yun shook his head and looked at Edward with pity.
"Stupid guy, your life has already reached its end. Death and life are intertwined. The last thing you will sacrifice will be your own. Let me guess, the last sacrifice would be a light mage, preferably a holy light mage. If there isn't any left, a fire mage would barely be able to replace you, but the mana consumption would be a bit higher.
"In the end, a Lich transformation ritual that doesn't need a phylactery would be completed. A Lich with no weakness, a Lich without a phylactery, right?"
Edward's eyes suddenly shone with a shocking light. He didn't say anything before the two young High Mages on the side suddenly shouted.
"Idiot, you are about to die, the great Lord Edward will rule this place. The death power has already eroded this plane, this place will eventually become a paradise of death. We are Lord Edward's most loyal subordinates … "
"Curse as much as you want, the angrier you are, the more resentful you are, the better you will be as a material. Stupid lone mages, many die here every day, no one will care …"
Hearing the curses of the two young High Mages, Edward suddenly smiled.
"That's right, no matter how you know this, it doesn't matter, because you are about to die …"
Lin Yun shook his head. He had already obtained the information he wanted to know. The floating island above his head actually belonged to that idiot who wholeheartedly wanted to transform into a Lich. This made things much easier and saved him a lot of time.
Lin Yun stood within the array's blockade and suddenly spat out a Law Rune. In an instant, three dark green vines drilled out of the ground and bound the three people in front of him.
The two High Mages didn't have the power to resist and were bound tightly. Their mouths were tightly bound by the vines. As for Edward, death power burst out from his body, wanting to make these vines rot and wither.
After the death power eroded these vines, the originally dark green vines suddenly turned blood red. Sharp thorns retracted into the vines, but small mouths full of sharp teeth appeared on the surface. These small mouths howled as they tore at Edward's body. Edward's expression instantly changed. He opened his mouth to scream, but the vines bound his mouth.
The two young High Mages were alarmed. After a few seconds, they turned into a pile of dried corpses. As for Edward, his body kept shrinking as the death power within his body was continuously devoured. As more death power was devoured, the vines became thicker and thicker, as if they were dripping blood.
"Don't be surprised. This is a hybrid of Hell Vines and Death Brambles. In terms of magic, this thing is called Blood Brambles. It can devour blood and the power of death. It's a perfect match for Necromancers.
"For the sake of the alchemy laboratory, I'll let you die knowing that there is no such thing as a flawless Lich. A flawless Lich can be killed at any time. Thus, the ritual you are carrying out isn't a Lich Transformation Ritual, it's a sacrifice to the Lich's consciousness. You are sacrificing your everything to the Lich's consciousness.
"Can you tell me where you got the information about this ritual?"
Edward's eyes were filled with fear and hatred. He didn't believe Lin Yun's words. Lin Yun shook his head.
'If the aftereffects of the banishment had dissipated and I could summon Sir Shawn, I wouldn't need to waste so much time talking nonsense. I could just search this guy's soul. But now, forget it …'
Lin Yun walked out of the Gravity Array step by step, as if the array's power had no effect on him.
Lin Yun walked towards the Teleportation Array, flames rising behind him as the corpses of the three people were burned to ashes along with the Blood Thorns.
After passing through the small teleportation formation, a light flashed, and he appeared on the floating island above his head. There were all kinds of empty buildings around him, and there was not a single living thing in them. At the center of the island was a ten-story Mage tower, and the teleportation formation was set up not far from the Mage tower.
Apart from these buildings, there were only tall trees drilling out of the ground. These trees looked very ordinary, but Lin Yun could see that they were all small branches of the huge tree below. These branches had pierced through the floating island.
Looking at these huge trees, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly flickered. There were no fallen leaves here, all the leaves were emerald green, not a single piece of yellow.
Releasing a Mage's Hand to grab a few leaves, Lin Yun smiled as he looked at the fallen leaves and patterns on the surface of the leaves.
He gently knocked on the branch of a tree that was more than three meters thick.
"Hey, can you come out for a moment? I want to make a deal with you. That half-baked Necromancer has already been killed. You should already know about it. After all, there is nothing here that can be hidden from you."
After waiting for a few seconds, there was still no response from the tree, and the surroundings were still as silent as death.
Lin Yun continued to knock on the trunk of the huge tree.
"Listen, big guy, you should know that the Undead Plane has collided with the Leviathan Plane. Now, at least a few thousand kilometers of space has overlapped.
You should have already felt that the laws of the Leviathan Plane are being invaded, and the origin of the plane is being eroded. It won't be long before this place will be completely eroded by the Undead Plane.
You should know that the Undead creatures hate things that are full of life force the most. You, or rather, all of you, will definitely be destroyed. Do you know where that stupid mage got the sacrificial ritual from?
In order to hide such a sacrificial ritual from the mages, the mastermind behind it must be at least a Lich King. It has already noticed this place, so how can you continue to stay silent? Are you going to stay silent until you are destroyed by the Undead creatures instead of facing the human mages? "
Lin Yun shook his head. When he first saw this huge tree that could hold up a floating island, Lin Yun knew that it was a branch of the Heaven Stairway Tree. Only the floating island held up by the Heaven Stairway Tree could attract other floating islands to revolve around it.
However, not all the Heaven Stairway Trees were conscious. At least in the records of the future, most of the Heaven Stairway Trees did not have consciousness.
Back when they conquered the Leviathan Dimension, the battle with Leviathan had almost destroyed the entire Leviathan Dimension. At the center of the Leviathan Dimension, there was a gigantic Heaven Stairway Ancient Tree, which was holding up a gigantic continent.
The continent had long been broken into countless floating islands, and most of them had fallen to the ground. When the Heaven Stairway Tree was broken, it turned into countless smaller trees. The consciousness of the Heaven Stairway Tree that was definitely level-49 was also completely broken into countless pieces. These pieces of consciousness merged into the smaller Heaven Stairway Tree.
Leviathan was dead forever, and the Heaven Stairway Tree was broken. No matter how cruel Leviathan was, it did not do anything to the Heaven Stairway Tree. Instead, it was the human mages who destroyed the Heaven Stairway Tree. It was normal for these ancient creatures to not like human mages …
When Lin Yun was about to turn around and leave, the surface of the giant tree suddenly began to move. An old face slowly appeared on the wriggling tree. After the old face appeared, it stared at Lin Yun without moving, like a wooden sculpture carved on the surface of the tree.
After staring at the wooden face for a few minutes, Lin Yun suddenly smiled bitterly as he recalled something important …
"Hey, buddy, listen to me. I know you might need thousands of years to go through a spring and autumn, but you don't have that much time to waste now. If it takes a few hundred years for us to say a few words, this plane would have been destroyed a long time ago.
So, can you please speed up the pace a little?
Five years, at most five years. This time is calculated according to human time. After five years, nobody can stop the Undead Plane from devouring the Leviathan Plane! "
Lin Yun's words seemed to work. The wooden face moved slowly, and an old and slow voice came from the wooden face.
"Human, what do you want?"
Lin Yun had a slight headache. It was too troublesome to communicate with this guy. It was basically the fastest this guy could speak at this speed. It was said that when these guys communicated with each other, it would take a few years to greet each other, and a breath would take a few years.
"Listen, it's not about what I want now. I'm here to help this plane, and also to help you guys. I want to cut off the connection between the Leviathan Plane and the Undead Plane so that the Leviathan Plane will not be devoured by the Undead Plane, and you guys will not be pushed down by the Undead.
"But now, I need some help from you guys. I'm injured, and I need some of your tree sap. Also, I need you guys to help me find two people."
The face on the tree was silent for more than five hours before it suddenly spoke again.
"The words of humans can't be trusted."
Lin Yun put down the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras in his hand and rolled his eyes. It had been five hours, and that was all it said?
"Listen, if you continue to be so slow, there might be a large group of Undead waiting outside to dig out your tree roots by the time we're done talking.
Do you think I'm more trustworthy, or those Undead? At least we're used to the environment here, and we think that the Stairway Tree is pretty good. However, I'm afraid that none of the Undead will think that the Stairway Tree will not be destroyed.
This is the last time I'm speaking. If you don't believe me, then forget it. Even without your help, I'll chase those Undead away. Ten seconds. If I don't hear your answer in ten seconds, then goodbye. "
After ten seconds, the face on the tree suddenly opened its mouth, and a glowing white liquid floated out of the giant tree's mouth. Lin Yun took out a potion bottle to catch the tree sap.
After the tree sap was spat out, the face stared at Lin Yun.
"Human, who are you looking for?"
Lin Yun gave Xiuban and Reina's aura fluctuations to the face before smiling.
"If you find them, tell them to come here to find me. Rest assured, we'll drive those repulsive Undead away."
After getting the Heaven Stairway Ancient Tree's sap, Lin Yun turned around and entered the mage tower. Outside, the face on the tree trunk once again turned into a wooden statue. Five hours later, the face once again chanted a sentence.
"Human, I'll pass on the message. I hope you won't disappoint us."
Lin Yun didn't care about the Stairway Tree outside. Communicating with these guys would definitely tire him to death. If it was a normal negotiation, it would take at least a decade to complete. It would be pretty good if he could say a few dozen sentences in a year.
Now that Lin Yun was busy refining potions, the alchemy laboratory in the mage tower was quite complete. Although the items might not be the best, they were all there.
The Stairway Tree sap was the rumored Source of Life. It was the same thing as the sap of the Mother Tree of the Forest Elves. It contained the purest life energy, and that kind of life energy contained the power of rebirth. It was the power that could give birth to new life.
But that kind of thing could only be given by an ancient lifeform. Forcibly harvested sap didn't have that kind of power, and it could at most be used as a Health Potion.
With this unexpected material, the refining process would be a lot smoother.
After spending three days, he managed to refine two potions. One was pure black, while the other was pure white. Moreover, it was emitting a white radiance.
Lin Yun swallowed the black potion, and a few seconds later, a faint spatial fluctuation spread from the surface of Lin Yun's body. Some fluctuations seemed to be continuously escaping from Lin Yun's body.
After these special spatial fluctuations appeared in the normal space, they rapidly dissipated and were devoured by the surrounding space.
After a few minutes, Lin Yun let out a long sigh. The remnant power of Exile had thoroughly dissipated, and the connection between him and the Natural Demiplane instantly returned to its perfect state.
The power of Exile didn't sever that connection, it completely wrapped around Lin Yun and blocked Lin Yun's connection to the outside world. Under such circumstances, the calculated spatial coordinates couldn't be correct.
After the negative effects of Exile were eliminated, Lin Yun once again drank that white potion. This was a potion specially used to treat his previous injuries.
After drinking the potion, a gentle life energy appeared, as if Lin Yun's body was soaked in a warm hot spring. After a few minutes, wisps of weak power seeped into his soul and slowly soaked his soul in that hot spring filled with life energy.
This was a rare Rebirth Potion that had an effect on souls. Its main material was the sap of an ancient lifeform like the Heaven Stairway Ancient Tree. It was called the Source of Life by human mages.
After drinking the potion, the effect of the potion would last until he completely recovered. This would greatly speed up his recovery, and he should be able to recover his Extraordinary Power within half a month.
The most urgent matter had been settled for the time being. Now, he had to worry about the matter of attacking the Undead. According to the current information, the humans didn't have any advantage in the area the Undead called the Tainted Blood Territory, and the main reason was that powerful mages didn't dare to casually appear on the battlefield.
The number of powerhouses in the Undead Plane definitely surpassed Noscent's powerhouses, especially those Undead powerhouses that had lived for countless years, as well as existences surpassing the Heaven Rank.
The Undead Plane devouring a new plane might not necessarily alarm those ancient powerhouses, but if powerhouses like Agalon and the others personally entered the battlefield, then it might not necessarily be the case.
Thus, the current situation couldn't be considered very good. They could only be in a deadlock with the Undead. The specifics couldn't be found here. After all, this was only a small city far from the frontlines of the Tainted Blood Territory.
The situation in the Leviathan Plane was chaotic. Large and small forces, even lone mages, all came to the Leviathan Plane to seek their own benefits.
Lin Yun knew this from his previous encounter with Edro. He checked the alchemy notes left behind by Edro and confirmed his previous conjecture. That pitiful guy followed the method recorded in the notes and prepared to sacrifice his soul, life, mana, knowledge, everything to a Lich.
But that ritual had been tampered with. It looked like a perfect Lich Transformation Ritual. Some of the knowledge used was not only unorthodox, but also very profound. Even Lin Yun couldn't understand it when he looked at it, let alone a pitiful guy like Edro. They could only follow the instructions recorded in the notes bit by bit.
And from the notes, it seemed that he wasn't the only one who had this method. There were other mages who had obtained this transformation ritual.
After checking it a few times, Lin Yun had a serious expression. The Lich's name was hidden in an unremarkable place in the notes, but it was hidden in the language. Those seemingly ordinary notes were combined in a special way and translated into the Yi Nuo Language. It was the name of a Lich that Lin Yun knew.
Bloody Lich De Kriese, a Level 49 Great Lich, the Overlord of the Bloody Lich Territory. He was a terrifying guy that was only one step away from becoming a Great Overlord. He was an ancient Lich that had existed in the Undead Plane for at least a few dozen millennia.
The Yi Nuo Language was the language created by the most ancient Lich of the Undead Plane. It contained ominous and death power.
It couldn't be said that there was no one in Noscent who understood the Yi Nuo Language, but there were definitely no more than three. The Yi Nuo Language had been recorded after the Undead Plane was conquered by Bane and the Liches were forced to hand it over.
It would be strange if Lin Yun's expression didn't look good when he found out De Kriese's name in the notes. The Bloody Lich's territory wasn't close to the Tainted Blood Lord.
It was at least a few dozen thousand kilometers away. Although De Kriese's territory was the closest to the Tainted Blood Lord …
However, it was still a bit unexpected for them to take action so quickly …
Those who could obtain these notes could be considered powerhouses of Noscent. The weakest among them was a 9th Rank Archmage. Only then would they be qualified to follow the method recorded in the notes to carry out the transformation ritual.
