The holy light that suddenly appeared within the sea of Undeads quickly attracted many powerful Undeads. One after another, Heaven Rank Undeads led an army of Undeads to charge into the range of the holy light. These Undeads didn't care about consumption. Over a million Undeads were being purified every minute, but the sea of Undeads covering the entire land didn't care about the consumption.
As long as these Undead could consume a bit of the opponent's mana, it would be fine. This was the Undead Sea Tactic, relying on huge numbers to exhaust the opponent. Even a Heaven Mage would be doomed to die under this kind of attrition.
No one could keep casting, not even Lin Yun with his Natural Demiplane. The mana consumption could be neglected, but the consumption of soul power couldn't be neglected.
Lin Yun hid within the radiance of the holy light and calmly waited. As long as the Skeleton King holding the Plague Heart didn't appear, Lin Yun wouldn't easily go out.
Soon, undead creatures above Level 40 appeared. The first one was a Level 42 bone dragon. When the bone dragon was fifty kilometers away from Prome, the holy light around it suddenly condensed into a hundred-meter-long greatsword. The greatsword pierced through the bone dragon's skull and body. Blinding white light exploded from the inside of the bone dragon's body, purifying the metal-like bones into ashes that rained down from the sky.
Every undead creature above level 40 would be purified by Prome if they were within 50 kilometers of him. They could not even get close to him, let alone interrupt his spell-casting.
As the Undeads below were slowly purified, a thick layer of ashen black ashes was left on the ground. Broken bone fragments could be faintly seen within the ashes. Everything within a hundred kilometers had turned into a deathly stillness.
And outside the range of the holy light, even more Undeads were rushing to their deaths. Prome's body turned into a small sun as he moved towards the depths of the Mesopotamian Plain, continuously purifying the Undeads with the radiance of the holy light.
After a dozen minutes, all the Undeads within three hundred kilometers had been purified. The number of purified Undeads was uncountable, and no one knew how many Undeads had been purified in those ten minutes. Even Lin Yun, who had been following Prome the whole time, couldn't calculate.
As Prome kept moving forward, flying undead creatures began to appear in the sky. They blotted out the sky and covered the earth like a black cloud. Each of them used their own kind as a shield, a shield that blocked the Holy Light.
Moreover, their flying speed was much faster than the Undeads on the ground who were charging with their crude legs. These flying Undeads were like a black cloud. The outer layer of the cloud was continuously purified, but the inner layer was not illuminated by the holy light at all. The black cloud that spanned more than ten kilometers had only shrunk by a third when it was fifty kilometers away from Prome. More Undeads, relying on their large numbers, were rapidly approaching Prome.
Prome's face was glowing with holy light. He was calmly radiating the holy light. When the black cloud was thirty kilometers away from Prome, the speed of purification suddenly increased. Layers of ashes that looked like burnt bones rained down from the sky, turning into a dark gray rain of ashes.
When the Undeads were twenty kilometers away from Prome, the speed of purification increased again. The Undeads were like a group of skeletal wyverns. The moment they were illuminated by the holy light, they would turn into ashes and dissipate. Their previous strategy was completely useless here.
A large amount of ash rained down like a curtain covering the sky. Only the radiance of the Holy Light could penetrate this layer of ash rain and continue to purify more Undead Souls.
Admiration could be seen on Lin Yun's face. He couldn't help but be amazed. There were many mages that comprehended the Light Law, but holy light mages, who didn't have much fighting power before the Heaven Rank, had an unreasonable restraining effect on the Undead.
A holy light mage could purify the Undeads just by releasing holy light, and a healing spell, Holy Light Hand, could also get rid of the Undeads. As long as they were holy light mages, they would be able to harm the Undeads. This was why these guys couldn't be reasoned with.
While there were flaws, there were advantages. Holy light mages were at a disadvantage against mages, so they could use healing spells to resist. As long as they weren't killed in one hit, they wouldn't die.
The closer Prome's holy light was to him, the stronger the power of the holy light, and the higher the level of the Undeads he could purify. Based on the current power, none of the Undeads under level 40 could get within ten kilometers of Prome without dying.
And if any Undeads above level 40 appeared, they would be purified with a single spell. Unless the Skeleton King with the Plague Heart appeared, none of the Undeads could stop Prome.
Prome advanced bit by bit. From the sky, it looked like a small sun rapidly moving forward, purifying all the Undeads in his path.
After half an hour, an empty area over a hundred kilometers wide and five hundred kilometers long appeared in the Mesopotamian Plain. All the Undeads in that area had been purified.
At this moment, a large black cloud that covered an area of more than 30 kilometers appeared in the sky again. In the center of the black cloud, the Skeleton King that was holding the Heart of Plague slowly flew over while riding an Undead Skeletal Dragon. Countless Undead Skeletal Dragons, Humerus Wyverns, Skeletal Wyverns, and a large number of strange flying Undead magical beasts were chasing after them.
The large number of flying Undeads surrounded the Skeleton King. From afar, it looked like a gigantic black cobra was rapidly approaching them.
Prome raised his staff with a solemn expression. He chanted a hymn-like incantation, and the holy light became even more blinding. It was as if someone had torn a hole in the sky, and a blinding pillar of light fell from the sky onto the cobra-like army of Undeads.
In an instant, the cobra's head was purified into a large gap. The pillar of light continued to shine into the depths of the cobra, purifying countless Undeads into ashes.
When the pillar of light reached the area where the Skeleton King was sitting, the Skeleton King raised his scepter. At the top of the scepter, the rotten heart that glowed with a dark green light suddenly beat faster. Light that looked like viscous venom spurted out of the heart and spread out into a dark green mist. The mist blocked the Holy Light Retribution that Prome had cast, and with ease.
The power of the Holy Light and the power of the Plague kept clashing, but neither of them could do anything to the other. Suddenly, the sky seemed to have been torn apart by a pair of giant hands, and four pillars of light fell to the ground from four different directions.
The pillar of light slowly dimmed. Finally, within the pillar of light, four gigantic human-shaped phantoms with no faces appeared.
One of them was wearing heavy armor and holding a greatsword with both hands. The greatsword was stabbed into the ground, and a terrifying aura emanated from the giant's body, turning countless Undeads into ashes in an instant.
One of them was wearing a pure white robe and a crown made of thorns. He held a scepter in one hand.
One of them was wearing a robe covered in runes, and he held a huge book in his hands.
The last one was holding a cross in front of his chest, and he lowered his head in prayer.
After the four gigantic light silhouettes appeared, they began to devour all the holy light around them, and in the end, they turned into four giant statues that glowed with holy light.
Lin Yun's eyes were filled with amazement, but he knew what he had to do. The moment the four statues appeared, Lin Yun flew out of Prome's holy light and appeared in front of the Skeleton King.
The Skeleton King seemed to have sensed that the four giant statues were not something to be happy about. He waved the scepter in his hand, and the Heart of Pestilence beat even faster. A large expanse of dark green light was emitted, and a drop of dark green blood even sprayed out of the Heart of Pestilence. The drop of dark green blood was stained by the light, and it turned into the phantom of a giant skull, which rushed up to the falling pillar of holy light.
The skull grew larger and larger, and in the end, it turned into a skull phantom that was thousands of meters wide. Dark green light shone, and there seemed to be a dark green Soulfire burning inside the skull phantom.
The phantom opened its mouth and devoured the thick pillar of holy light. The power of the holy light seemed to be completely useless, and it was devoured by a phantom.
Without the suppression of the Holy Light Divine Punishment, the Skeleton King was prepared to escape from this area that gave him a very bad feeling.
But at this time, the Four Element Bombs appeared from all directions, dragging arcs behind them. The intense explosions turned a ten-kilometer radius around the Skeleton King into a space filled with destructive power.
Lin Yun held the Book of Death in his left hand and the Draconic Staff in his right as he floated in the air, calmly looking at the destructive power wreaking havoc in that space.
It was impossible to get rid of the Skeleton King with that kind of attack, but over a hundred 8th Tier Spells were definitely enough to stall for a bit of time, enough to stall the Skeleton King and not let him escape.
Three seconds later, the vast hymn rang out again. It was as if countless people were chanting, chanting the most sacred hymn with an aria. The four statues of the light giants turned around at the same time and faced the center of them.
Floating in the air, Prome cut his wrist. Golden blood dripped down from the air. With every drop of blood, Prome's face turned paler. In just three seconds, Prome looked like he was heavily injured.
However, this faint golden blood released the most terrifying power of Holy Light. The four light giant statues simultaneously released a radiant light, and a screen of pure Holy Light appeared between the four statues. With the four light giant statues as the four corners, the screen of light formed a huge cage that spanned thirty kilometers.
The cage was three kilometers tall and thirty kilometers wide. It was completely sealed by the power of holy light, and within the cage, the power of holy light kept condensing, as if the space inside was shining.
Inside the cage, the Skeleton King flew out of the destructive space formed by the torrent of Four Element Bombs. It seemed that he hadn't suffered any damage at all. Even the tattered cloak on his back was still in its original state.
As if the cage full of holy light was very uncomfortable, the Skeleton King led the rest of the undead and charged at one of the holy light curtains.
The army of flying undead that had turned into black clouds instantly turned into ashes when they reached the seemingly thin curtain of Holy Light. No matter how many there were, they could not change the outcome at all. Even in the face of the attack of so many flying undead, the curtain of light did not even have the slightest ripple.
When the Skeleton King waved Pegg's scepter and released a dark green light, the holy light curtains began to ripple. But the ripples were like a small stone thrown into a calm lake. They couldn't make a big ripple at all.
Countless undead crashed into the curtains and were purified into ashes.
The Skeleton King waved his scepter three times in a row, but he still couldn't break through the obstruction of the light curtain. In addition, a Four-Element Rule Bomb exploded behind him, and a terrifying destructive power spread crazily, instantly enveloping all the Undead creatures within a 3,000-meter range. It was a strangulation filled with pure destructive power. A single impact flattened a 3,000-meter range, and the shockwaves tore the Undead creatures within seven or eight kilometers into pieces.
The Skeleton King turned around, thoroughly giving up on tearing open the holy light curtains. Prome floated outside the holy light curtains, continuously chanting incantations to maintain the cage. Moreover, the power of holy light could penetrate the cage without any hindrance.
The death power inside kept dissipating, and a large number of the undead were continuously purified. The number of the undead kept decreasing, and without these undead, the death power fell even faster.
With this large-scale weakening, Lin Yun's cleaning speed became even faster. The Book of Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel appeared at the same time. The Book of Mantras turned into a several-dozen-meter-tall huge gate, while the Spell Wheel turned into a several-dozen-meter-wide gorgeous wheel with countless law runes floating within it.
The Book of Mantras and the Spell Wheel combined together, and in an instant, the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind formed the most basic elemental storm.
In just three seconds, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras could no longer be seen. They had already been shrouded in a terrifying elemental storm, turning everything within eight kilometers into a chaotic elemental area. The elements there were only the purest destructive power, and as time passed, the range of that elemental storm kept expanding.
Apart from the Skeleton King, any other undead creatures that were sucked into the Elemental Storm Vortex would be dismembered in an instant. Then, the fragments of their bodies would be torn into countless fragments. These fragments would fall into a huge millstone and grind into the finest ashes until they could no longer be seen.
A rainbow-colored rune appeared on Lin Yun's forehead, and the radiance of earth, fire, water, and wind covered his four limbs. The elemental storm didn't seem to have any effect on him as he stood in the elemental storm. Instead, these four elements, which only contained pure destructive power, seemed to be crowding around Lin Yun like a sovereign, forming a natural defense.
As long as an undead approached, these elemental storms would frantically tear them to shreds. Even the Skeleton King's attacks would be continuously torn to shreds by the elemental storms.
Lin Yun stood in the center of the elemental storm, the Book of Death in his left hand blossoming with a faint radiance. The power of the Sage Chapter appeared at this time, and the Undead Essences of the undead that had been torn to shreds by the elemental storm were also torn to shreds. But these torn Undead Essences followed that huge vortex and entered the Sage Chapter.
These were unpurified Undead Essences. The Undead that had been purified by the power of holy light were only the most ordinary skeletons, they simply wouldn't leave any Undead Essences behind. Only these Undead that had been torn to shreds by the elemental storm would leave behind these things.
The huge amount of Undead Essences was devoured by the Sage Chapter, and slowly, a third slot appeared on the Sage Chapter's list of spells, an empty slot for a 7th Tier Spell.
Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry to fight the Skeleton King. Instead, he first cleaned up the remaining Undead. There were over ten million Undead remaining in this thirty-kilometer-wide cage, and that was after more than half of them had died.
These were the purest Undead of the Undead Plane, and the probability of them leaving behind Undead Essences was very high. In fact, the higher the rank of the Undead, the higher the probability of them leaving behind Undead Essences after being killed. Heaven Rank Undead would inevitably leave behind Undead Essences.
However, the Undead Essence wasn't very useful to the Undead. At least in the Undead Plane, which was filled with the Power of Death, even if there was a war, the only thing they would care about was the Soul Fire. If the Undead Essence was left behind after the Undead died, it would only be left there for the Undead Essence to nourish the bones and give birth to new Undead creatures.
If he didn't clean up this large group of Undead first, it would be the same as giving the Skeleton King countless supplies. As long as he consumed too much death energy, he could just get rid of a group of Undead. There were over ten million Undead here, and if he got rid of a hundred thousand of them and devoured their Soul Fires, he would be able to quickly replenish his power.
Moreover, these Undead lifeforms were perfect shields at crucial times, perfect interference. If he didn't get rid of these Undead lifeforms first, he wouldn't be able to fight the Skeleton King with Pegg's scepter.
The holy light power within the cage kept getting stronger and stronger, and after reaching a certain level, it stopped. This holy light power could only easily purify Undead lifeforms under Level 30, and it would take a long time to purify Undead lifeforms under Level 40. As for Undead above Level 40, it could only weaken them.
But this was already enough. It allowed Lin Yun to use the Elemental Spirit King Incarnation and the Book of Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to recklessly stir the Elemental Storm. This Elemental Storm could resist the wave of Undead and even tear them to shreds bit by bit.
