Unfortunately, he didn't have that much time to waste. After thinking about it, Lin Yun gave up on the idea of picking up the Undead Essence himself. At that moment, a Level 43 Skeleton Horseman rode a skeletal warhorse to Lin Yun's feet. Its soul fluctuations penetrated the chaotic battlefield and reached Lin Yun's soul fire.
"Which territory are you from?"
Lin Yun casually came up with a name.
"I'm from Wailing Grotto."
The Skeleton Horseman exploded upon hearing this name and let out an angry roar.
"Wailing Grotto's filthy fools …"
Unfortunately, before the Skeleton Horseman could finish his sentence, Lin Yun suddenly appeared behind him. Lin Yun extended his bony claws and easily snapped the Skeleton Horseman's head. Lin Yun stomped on the Skeleton Horseman's head and extinguished the Skeleton Horseman's soul fire.
The Skeleton Horseman glared at Lin Yun with its eye sockets that were burning with soul fire. It continued cursing madly.
"Wailing Grotto, all of you deserve to die, damn it …"
Lin Yun's heart stirred. Since he had become an Undead, could he devour the Undead's soul fire?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Lin Yun directly inhaled the Skeleton Horseman's head. As if by instinct, a blue flame flew out of the Skeleton Horseman's eye sockets and fused with Lin Yun's soul fire.
These Soul Fires were like fuel. Lin Yun's Soul Fires suddenly burned fiercely, igniting the Skeleton Horseman's Soul Fires. All the impurities were burned away, only leaving behind the purest soul power. As the Soul Fires burned, they merged with the Soul Fires. Moreover, some scattered Death Law imprints were also left behind.
After devouring the soul fire, Lin Yun was thoroughly shocked. He was even more shocked than when he had casually come up with a name for the Undead Plane.
After transforming into an Undead, he could actually devour soul fire to strengthen his soul force.
The Chapter of the Dead didn't just disguise him as an Undead, it also had this benefit. The devoured soul fire would be burned, and only a small portion of the purest soul force would fuse with it. But this small portion was equivalent to 1% of Lin Yun's soul force.
Normally, increasing soul force by 1% was more difficult than comprehending the Laws.
Most mages would have to comprehend the Laws to increase their soul force. After comprehending the Laws, their soul force would also increase.
However, the stronger one's Soul Strength was, the stronger one's comprehension of the laws would be, and the faster one's comprehension speed would be. A person with a powerful Soul Strength would be able to comprehend anything faster.
The most difficult thing for mages could be reversed here.
Most importantly, there were Rule Fragments. The Rule of Death was included under the Rule of Darkness. The Rule of Darkness that ordinary Dark Mages comprehended was only a branch of the Rule of Darkness.
Death was born in the darkness, and souls were born in the death.
The true Law of Darkness was the same as the Law of Light. It was a system that encompassed a lot of laws. The Undead Plane, to be exact, should be called the Dark Plane. However, the most typical creatures in the Undead Plane were Undead creatures, and their numbers were far greater than the Dark Creatures …
Lin Yun could still comprehend the Darkness Law through the Demiplane, but the Natural Demiplane still hadn't evolved to the point where it could comprehend the Death Law and the Soul Law.
Now, he only needed to devour soul fires to accumulate fragments of the Law of Death, in other words, the Death Imprint. No wonder the Undead of the Undead Plane didn't need to comprehend the Laws, they only needed to devour soul fires.
The soul fires of these Undead seemed to naturally contain fragments of the Law. Even after devouring to a certain extent, their soul fires would automatically transform, and the fragments of the Law of Soul would make their soul fires evolve.
After devouring a soul fire, countless pieces of information naturally appeared in Lin Yun's mind, it was as if every Undead was supposed to know.
After casually crushing a level 30 skeleton and devouring that skeleton's soul fire, Lin Yun thoroughly understood.
Sure enough, this was the rule of the Undead Plane. These undead fought all day long, and sometimes, a war could even last for thousands of years. It wasn't because these guys were bored, and they had all the time in the world to waste.
Rather, it was because there were benefits to fighting like this.
As long as there was war, there would be endless soul fires. With soul fires, the Undead Overlords could keep accumulating Death Imprints and Soul Imprints. They could become even stronger, and they only needed to lead the Undead army to keep fighting.
But after sensing it for a bit, Lin Yun somewhat understood why those Undead Overlords hadn't increased their levels after fighting for millennia, and even after a few millennia, they still hadn't increased their levels.
These Death Imprints were like pieces of a puzzle. If he wanted to advance to the peak of Level 49, he would need to find all the pieces. And all the pieces of the puzzle wouldn't just require a few million Death Imprints, there might be hundreds of millions, or even billions of different pieces of the puzzle.
It was pure luck that these guys could find all the puzzle pieces. The further they went, the harder it would be. When there was only one puzzle piece left, they would be stuck there forever …
'Damn, fortunately, I have the Natural Demiplane …'
As long as the Natural Demiplane's Laws evolved, he could quickly comprehend them. He might be slower than the Undead at the start, but at least he could keep progressing faster and faster.
After calculating the time, Lin Yun gave up on picking up fragments and harvesting soul fires. He had just gotten rid of a Skeleton Knight, which had already attracted the attention of the other Undead.
No Undead would care if he picked up the Undead Essence, but the same couldn't be said for soul fires.
Lin Yun slaughtered his way through the chaotic battlefield and instantly restrained his aura, making himself look like an ordinary Level 20 Skeleton. After circling a few times, all the Heaven Rank Undead couldn't find Lin Yun.
Lin Yun followed the chaotic battlefield and unknowingly rushed into an area with a lot of Zombies and Ghouls. After casually twisting the heads of two Ghouls with his skeletal claws, Lin Yun's body shook and he regained his original appearance. But his face was ashen and his body was emitting a dense aura of death. He had turned into a Zombie that could only be described as delicate and pretty.
There was no aura of decay on his body, yet he had a complete body. It wasn't common in the Undead Plane, but the Undead didn't care. As long as they felt the pure aura of death, they wouldn't doubt that the one standing in front of them wasn't an Undead.
Even if a Heaven Rank Undead saw it, they wouldn't doubt it. After all, the bodies of Low Rank Zombies looked broken, but after reaching the Heaven Rank, the bodies of Undead Zombies would be more complete. Especially some Zombies with special habits, they might look no different from a living person.
After turning into a Zombie, a bit of Extraordinary Zombie's aura would become an advantage in an area with a lot of Ghouls and Zombies.
As he followed the battlefield, he quickly discovered Ymir. Ymir was holding a thick thigh bone and shouting at the Zombies and Ghouls behind him to keep charging.
Lin Yun stood a dozen kilometers away and could feel Ymir's soul fluctuations. His soul fluctuations spread over several dozen kilometers. In other words, the Undead within several dozen kilometers could hear Ymir's roar.
"Idiot, get rid of them! Dismantle the bones of these damned skeletons! Charge, charge …"
The Undead didn't seem to be vigilant against Lin Yun's Zombie Transformation. Lin Yun was within a kilometer of Ymir when Ymir noticed a powerhouse approaching. He turned his head and glanced at Lin Yun, a trace of confusion flashing on his sinister face. He scratched his head, feeling that Lin Yun looked a bit familiar.
"Ymir, it looks like your plan isn't going smoothly. Those repulsive guys aren't giving you any face. Oh, what do you mean by 'don't care about face'? In any case, when I came over, I saw a lot of Mourning Birds, and Mourning Birds that were eating …"
Ymir's Gnome had a sinister look on his face. When he heard the name Mourning Bird, his eyes instantly turned red. Who knew how a Gnome could turn into a Ghoul? At least from his appearance, he looked like a non-mainstream Ghoul.
He held the thigh bone in his hand and swung it at Lin Yun. Lin Yun raised his arm and single-handedly caught the thigh bone. The ground under his feet rumbled, and the huge force turned into a terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions. Dozens of pitiful Ghouls were torn to pieces by the shockwave.
Lin Yun's right arm also cracked. His muscles were torn, and his bones were cracked. However, the power of death circulated a little, and his body returned to normal.
For the Undead, the power of death was indeed omnipotent. It could fight, heal, and transplant body parts. It could do anything you could think of.
He swung his arm, and although he didn't feel any pain, Lin Yun was a bit speechless. Ymir clearly didn't recognize him, or rather, he couldn't recognize his current appearance. The difference between a dark lifeform and an undead lifeform was quite big.
Activating the power of the Chapter of Beginnings, a layer of dark power turned into a dense fog that shrouded Lin Yun's body. His entire body looked like a shadow, and the aura of death was completely concealed. Only the aura of darkness circulated.
Ymir cried out in surprise. He threw the thigh bone to the side and smashed a zombie to death. Ymir grinned ferociously and rushed over.
"Oh, Bao Di, it's you. You've changed your appearance. I almost couldn't recognize you. How did you become an Undead? Have you finally left the camp of those hateful Dark Creatures?"
Lin Yun rolled his eyes. This guy could recognize a layer of shadow, but he could not recognize his appearance. What a typical Undead creature …
Removing the concealment of the dark aura, Lin Yun revealed his true appearance.
"I'm not a Dark Creature. I was only escaping the pursuit of a Vampire. You should know that I was being chased by a Vampire, right? I told you. "
Ymir was at a loss. He did not remember this at all.
"It's that hateful Vampire we met at the auction. Forget it, don't mind these details. I'm here to see how your war is going. There are more and more Skeletons, and the number of Mourning Birds protected by the Skeletons is increasing.
You have to work hard, Ymir. Kill those skeletons and devour their soul fires. Then, you will be able to occupy this territory. Once you have your own territory, you will be able to stop the Birds of Mourning from appearing. All the Birds of Mourning that appear will be killed … "
Ymir stared blankly at Lin Yun. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not understand it. When he heard about the Mourning Birds, he felt that what Lin Yun said made sense.
"Ymir, I want Undead Essence. Oh, this is it. Get the Zombies or Ghouls to help me collect some. Give me these things, and I'll help you learn how to ignite flames. The flames that can burn the bones of the Mourning Birds to ashes."
Ymir listened to Lin Yun for a long time. This was the only thing he heard. He could learn how to release flames and personally burn the Mourning Birds to ashes.
Soul fluctuations raged on the battlefield like tsunamis. Ymir's soul fluctuations continuously transmitted a message: Don't worry about the battle. Take back all the Undead Essences that you've picked up. This was the most important thing.
The Undead didn't care about the meaning of Ymir's command. They just needed to follow it. Even the Undead that had awakened wisdom and memories would meticulously carry out Ymir's orders.
Soon, the Undead returned with the Undead Essence they had collected. They piled up the Undead Essence and slowly formed a small mountain on the ground. There were also other Undead that transported these piles of Undead Essence to Ymir.
Lin Yun did not immediately let the Sage Chapter devour these Undead Essences. Instead, he put them away for the time being.
"Ymir, look, these Undead Essences are useless to you. Collect them for me. Do you see those Undead? It's useless for you to collect them. Only by killing more enemies can you collect more Undead Essences.
"Let the army tear apart those hateful skeletons and then send a team of Undead to collect Undead Essences. That way, the more Undead we kill, the more Undead Essences we can collect …"
Lin Yun kept fooling Ymir for a while before carving a small array on Ymir's right hand. It imitated the magic pattern's ability and gave Ymir the ability to release flames.
He transformed the death power into flames. Although it was only a kind of pale white flame that couldn't even compare to a 3rd Tier Fire Spell, it was still flames, wasn't it?
Moreover, the Undead couldn't distinguish colors. They could only feel that it was flames.
After obtaining the ability to release flames, Ymir went crazy. He immediately found a small mountain of Messenger Bird corpses and personally released the pale white flames to ignite the Messenger Bird's corpses. Ymir was satisfied as he watched the Messenger Bird's corpses slowly turn to ashes. He was very satisfied.
Wasn't it just a bit slower? It didn't matter. To the Undead, time didn't matter. They had plenty of time to watch. Even slowly watching the Messenger Bird being burned to ashes was a very good feeling.
After becoming an Undead, an array that imitated a magic pattern could at most release flames comparable to a 3rd Tier Spell. Moreover, the mana consumption was enough to release a 5th Tier Undead Spell. No alchemist in Noscent would research this kind of trash.
A 5th Tier Spell that consumed mana could only release flames comparable to a 3rd Tier Spell. Even the trashiest spells wouldn't care about this kind of thing. But few alchemists in Noscent could be like Lin Yun, carving a miniature magic pattern on an Undead's body and making a Ghoul release flames.
Ymir was so satisfied that he almost went crazy. He had always wanted to tear apart the Messenger Bird and then burn its corpse to ashes. Now, he finally satisfied his biggest wish. As an Undead with a goal, Lin Yun helped him fulfill his dream, so he had to repay him.
"Idiots, you idiots! Get rid of those skeletons, tear apart their bones, and bring back Undead Essence for me. Do you understand Undead Essence? "Idiots, you don't even know what Undead Essence is. Forget about dying, change to another one. Does anyone know?"
"Alright, we all know what Undead Purification is. The great Bao Di wants this thing, and the great Ymir also wants this thing …"
After Ymir personally tore apart a dozen Undead and even a Level 41 Zombie, the rest of the Undead, no matter how stupid they were, knew that they had to say something. Even if they didn't understand why Ymir wanted to purify those useless Undead, they would at most use them as fertilizer for the Undead Breeding Grounds. Why did he have to collect them?
The fertilizer for the Undead Breeding Grounds was the Undead Essence. It was a place where the corpses of countless Undead were piled up. There were countless skeletons and countless Undead Essence there. The newly emerged Undead were all bred there. At least, this was how the native Undead appeared.
However, no Undead Lord would build an Undead Breeding Ground specifically because the Undead Plane never lacked Undead. All of the Undead Breeding Grounds in the Undead Plane were formed naturally or accumulated over a long period of time through wars.
Once the war stopped, those places would turn into a sea of corpses and skeletons, and as time passed, new Undead might crawl out of those places.
Although the speed at which new Undead were born wasn't very fast, the Undead Plane never lacked Undead creatures. No one knew why there were more and more Undead creatures in the Undead Plane, especially those cannon fodder. So many of them died every day, but there was still no end to them.
Ymir, who had just obtained the ability to release flames, had completely gone crazy. He wasn't very intelligent to begin with, and although his flames couldn't even burn a level 25 skeleton to death, now that he had gotten what he wanted, he would think of ways to repay 'Bao Di'.
