The battlefield became even more chaotic. Ymir personally led a team and was like a madman, shuttling through the battlefield and picking up the Undead Essences that no one wanted. Although the probability of Undead Essences dropping Undead Essences wasn't high, the quantity was huge.
According to Ymir's original plan, battles were going on everywhere in the Tainted Blood Overlord's territory. In any case, no one wanted so many Undead Essences, so he might as well pick them up. It would be a lot faster than constantly fighting, and wouldn't he be able to obtain more?
Unfortunately, the other Undead Overlords didn't think so. These guys were like rabid dogs that had their territory invaded. They thought that Ymir was invading their territory, so what else could they say? They directly went to war.
The battlefield became more and more chaotic. These Undead Overlords were originally fighting in pairs, but after a few days, it turned into a chaotic battle of seven or eight. Even the army of dark lifeforms became cannon fodder and were taken care of by a group of Undead lifeforms.
Seven or eight Undead Overlords suddenly discovered a Dark Overlord among them. 'Damnit, it's definitely that Dark Overlord's doing. Let's get rid of him first …'
For a few days, Lin Yun didn't do anything. He only saw a small mountain of Undead Essences in front of him, and even more Undead Essences were being sent over. He didn't know how many Undead Essences there were. Undead Essences were sold in Noscent, but here, even the smallest unit was in kilograms. A small mountain of Undead Essences weighed four to five tons.
The Sage Chapter kept devouring Undead Essences, and slowly, the 2nd and 3rd 8th Tier Spell Stored Locations appeared. Unfortunately, after the 3rd 8th Tier Spell Stored Locations appeared, the Sage Chapter frantically devoured Undead Essences, but no 9th Tier Spell Stored Locations appeared. As for the Sage Chapter, it was still devouring Undead Essences like a bottomless abyss.
Lin Yun was already prepared, so he wasn't too disappointed. The spells the Sage Chapter could store were all Ultimate Spells, and the most basic ability of an Ultimate Spell was to increase the power of the spell by two ranks. An 8th Tier Ultimate Spell had the power of a 10th Tier Spell. Moreover, an Ultimate Spell could display a spell's characteristics to their pinnacle, something that even 10th Tier Spells didn't have. This characteristic was the most powerful.
If he could really store a 9th Tier Spell, he wouldn't need to waste so much effort and gather all the Undead Overlords in one place. A 9th Tier Ultimate Spell with the power of an 11th Tier Spell, and with its pinnacle characteristics, it could absolutely kill all the Undead in a territory.
If he could comprehend the Light Law and release a 9th Tier Light Spell, that would be even more perfect. A 9th Tier Light Illumination would be stored in the Sage Chapter and buffed to its pinnacle state, releasing the 11th Tier Light Illumination would turn the passage into a world of light. The Undead simply wouldn't be able to enter, and no matter how many came, they would all die.
Unfortunately, such a good thing could only be imagined. After staying for a few days and devouring at least a few dozen tons of Undead Essences, the Sage Chapter still didn't have a 9th Tier Spell store. But the Sage Chapter was still crazily devouring Undead Essences. It clearly had a place, but it wouldn't come out so easily.
After turning the Tainted Blood Overlord into paste, Lin Yun quietly left. Ymir's millennia-old wish had been fulfilled and he was now staking his life to help Lin Yun gather Undead Essences. This had become his greatest wish at the moment.
After quietly returning to the Demiplane and storing three 8th Tier Spells on the Sage Chapter, Lin Yun once again transformed into an Undead Skeleton and appeared in the Undead Plane. He even crafted a broken cloak and draped it over his back. He then put the Death Scythe he had snatched from the Skeleton King on his back and created a new Skeleton King.
After transforming into a Skeleton King and walking in the Undead Plane, the number of Undead creatures that came to provoke him instantly decreased by more than half. The most ordinary Skeleton Undead had a very low status in the Undead Plane. Even if they had awakened intelligence or memories, their status was still very low.
As long as an Undead felt that they were strong enough to twist the head of an Undead Skeleton, they absolutely wouldn't stand on the side and watch. A lone Heaven Rank Undead Skeleton was simply a piece of fresh meat.
As a last resort, Lin Yun could only truly release his aura and transform into a Level 46 Undead Skeleton. But it provoked even more trouble. Other Level 46 Undead, and even Level 45 Undead of other kinds, dared to rush over to kill Lin Yun and devour his Soul Fire.
Unfortunately, the Soul Fires of these fools were devoured by Lin Yun's Undead Incarnation.
After devouring the first Heaven Rank Undead, Lin Yun discovered that the Soul Fires of these Heaven Rank Undead not only contained purer soul power, but they also contained a larger Death Imprint. More importantly, they also contained their memories.
After looking through these Undead's memories like watching a movie, Lin Yun suddenly found the best way to find Agalon.
It was very difficult to find information in the Undead Plane. Apart from the Heaven Rank Undead, the other Undead were a group of brainless fools that didn't know fatigue or fear. Their Soul Fires didn't have many memories, they only had a few scattered memories that were instinctive.
Only the Undead that had awakened wisdom or memories of their previous life would have complete memories of the Undead Plane.
Constantly devouring the soul fires of the Undead, viewing the memories of these Undead, and searching for possible clues was the fastest way. Moreover, it was far faster than searching for clues like a headless fly. While viewing those memories, it was like watching from the side, and there were no clues that could have been overlooked.
After devouring the Soul Fires of a dozen Heaven Rank Undead, Lin Yun had no choice but to disguise himself as a Skeleton King. An ordinary skeleton appearing on its own was too eye-catching, there were too many Undead that wanted to devour his Soul Fires.
After changing into the Skeleton King's disguise, it immediately became a lot better. Although Lin Yun looked shorter than an ordinary Skeleton King, that Death Scythe was enough to prove his identity. The broken cape and the Death Scythe … No Undead would be willing to casually provoke a Skeleton King.
The Skeleton King was a type of Undead Skeleton, but it could also be considered an innate Skeleton King. It was an existence that could lead an army of Undead. The Death Scythe was also one of the few weapons in the Undead Plane that could directly injure the Undead's Soul Fires.
Even if it was a Skeleton King, no Undead would be willing to provoke it. On the way, they met a Level 47 Black Warrior that was looking at Lin Yun from afar and didn't make any moves to attack. It was clearly somewhat afraid.
The Death Scythe only needed to cut off its body and it would be equivalent to cutting off its Soul Fires. Undead with a higher rank than the Skeleton King wouldn't be willing to casually provoke it.
No one dared to provoke Lin Yun, so Lin Yun started taking the initiative to cause trouble. After getting rid of a dozen Undead that were above Level 43, he finally found some clues.
In the memories of an Undead's Soul Fire, traces of Gandaph appeared. Gandaph had once appeared in this place called the Wailing Basin, but he didn't know where he went. At that time, Gandaph had fought with that Level 46 Undead, but for some reason, he hadn't gotten rid of that Undead before hurriedly leaving.
After finding the clues and the direction Gandaph had left in, Lin Yun kept following the place Gandaph had appeared.
Five days later, the number of dark lifeforms suddenly increased. The density of death energy in the air decreased a bit, but the pure darkness energy became denser. On the scorched land, a black forest appeared. The trees were pure black, and the tree trunks were made of bone. The forest floor was filled with broken bones and skeletons.
The tall trees were like tree-shaped spirits. The treetops were bare and there were no leaves. When they got closer, they could see the hideous skulls hanging on the branches. Some of them were bones, and some of them looked like fresh skulls. These skulls seemed to still be dripping blood. There were also some places that had beating hearts hanging on them.
Lin Yun frowned slightly and slowly floated into the air. His gaze pierced through this strange black forest and saw an eerie castle in the depths of the forest. Looking up at the sky, he saw that the castle was eternally dark. Only the moonlight that appeared out of nowhere shone on the castle.
Deathly silence …
The Ancient Blood Tree and the eerie castle. Seeing these two things, Lin Yun knew that this was the territory of the vampires.
To have such a large forest of Ancient Blood Trees, the number of skeletons buried here was definitely in the hundreds of millions. Moreover, the existence of the Blood Tree Shepherds was necessary for such a large forest of Ancient Blood Trees to grow.
These Ancient Blood Trees devoured skeletons, corpses, and the power of death, turning these things into fruits that contained the power of life. The skulls that seemed to be dripping blood and the beating hearts were all fruits of the Ancient Blood Trees.
These were all food for the vampires, or rather, desserts. This was the only way they could taste fresh blood in the Undead Plane, or rather, the only way they could obtain fresh blood apart from dark creatures.
The Ancient Blood Tree Forest was so large, and the fruits that it bore practically encompassed all the types of fruits that could possibly appear. Only vampires at the level of the Vampire Primogenitor had the power and status to own this forest.
Adding on the huge eerie castle and the eternal night above it, it was even more obvious that this was the territory of the Vampire Primogenitor.
Did Gandalf chase him into the territory of a Vampire Primogenitor?
That would be troublesome. Even if he didn't die after such a long time, he would have been reared like a pig.
Any random Vampire Primogenitor would be at least level 47. These repulsive bastards were very difficult to kill. At the very least, Gandalf definitely didn't have the power to completely kill a Vampire Primogenitor.
Lin Yun frowned and stepped into the dark forest before him.
The moment he entered the forest, he felt his surroundings turn dark. However, this kind of darkness was useless to the undead. Everything they saw was black, white, and gray. They also relied on soul undulations to discover their targets, not their eyes. How could skeletons have eyes …
After entering the forest, the surface of the quiet and strange trees began to emit faint sounds. Distorted faces appeared on the surface of the trunks, and the skeletons and skeletons hanging on the treetops all seemed to come to life. They slowly turned to look at Lin Yun, their mouths emitting eerie laughter.
Lin Yun sneered. He grasped the tail of the Death Scythe in his right hand and casually swung it a few times. Terrifying death energy followed the swing of the Death Scythe, transforming into gray Moon Blades that flew out.
The Moon Blades cut through the surrounding Ancient Blood Trees as if they were cutting through the air. A single Moon Blade flew over a thousand meters, cutting all the Ancient Blood Trees in its path in half.
Viscous blood gushed out of the severed Ancient Blood Tree. Blood flowed out from the severed part, but it disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.
The Ancient Blood Tree's branches turned into arms, supporting the severed branches as it tried to return to its original position. Fresh blood gushed out, and the Ancient Blood Tree's cut quickly recovered. It looked like it hadn't been injured at all.
Logically speaking, this kind of injury was completely insignificant to the Ancient Blood Tree, especially since it had formed a forest. Its entire body was equivalent to a single entity. Even if it was cut in half, it could still be reconnected. The blood that gushed out would be absorbed by the underground roots after flowing to the ground. There wouldn't be any waste at all.
The heads on the crowns of the restored Ancient Blood Trees shrieked and roared. But soon after, these shrieks and roars turned into terrified wails.
The heads rapidly withered, and the face that had condensed on the surface of the Ancient Blood Tree also became distorted. In the end, it twisted into a lump of tree joints, and the entire tree withered rapidly, losing all signs of life.
All the Ancient Blood Trees that were cut by the gray Moon Blades withered completely. As Lin Yun continued forward, no Ancient Blood Trees dared to roar anymore. Even the Ancient Blood Trees that Lin Yun encountered would take the initiative to uproot their roots from the ground and make way for Lin Yun.
After walking for two to three kilometers, an Ancient Blood Tree that couldn't make way in time was cut in two by Lin Yun. Then, similarly, dozens of Ancient Blood Trees suffered the same fate, their consciousness destroyed by the Death Scythe.
On the surface of an Ancient Blood Tree by the side of the path, an old and distorted face appeared. It looked at Lin Yun, its tone full of humility.
"Esteemed Lord Skeleton King, our king is waiting for you in the ancient castle. Please forgive these foolish fellows, they don't understand your majesty …"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, a gray moonblade sliced him in half.
"Foolish dark creatures, there can only be one king in the Undead Plane!"
The Blood Tree Shepherd's clone was directly cut to death. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have been implicated as well. A large chunk of his soul might have been severed, and he would have died if that happened.
In the gloomy ancient castle, countless bats descended from the top of the ancient castle and rapidly burrowed into a large blood-colored cloak. Soon, a humanoid creature that looked like a pile of rotten corpses appeared within the cloak.
In a corner of the ancient castle, the gargoyle that had turned into a statue came to life. It carried an exquisite crystal pot filled with fresh blood and appeared beside the rotten corpse. Fresh blood poured into the mouth of the rotten corpse, and the corpse quickly transformed.
A few seconds later, the corpse turned into a pale, bloodless vampire. He had a handsome face, blood-red pupils, and sharp fangs slowly retracted into his lips.
After opening his eyes, the vampire's gaze was fixed on the entrance of the ancient castle.
Ten minutes later, a few gargoyles worked together to open the heavy door. A skeleton with a death scythe on his back and a tattered cloak walked in from outside.
Lin Yun looked at the vampire sitting on the throne. When he saw the gargoyles around him and the vampire bats above his head, he instantly recognized the identity of the vampire in front of him.
The fifth ancestor of vampires, Lesumbra.
"Lesumbra, you must remember one thing. There can only be one king in the Undead Plane, the great King Fergus."
As soon as he entered, Lin Yun used this as an opening sentence. Lesumbra's face paled even more, and he immediately walked down from the throne and knelt on the ground.
"There can only be one king in the Undead Plane, the great King Fergus. Lesumbra has never thought that he could obtain the title of king."
Lesumbra's face became paler and paler. He knelt on the ground, but he found that Lin Yun did not say a word, and his eyes began to tremble.
'Oh, damn Undead, stubborn Undead, and that stupid Blood Shepherd. Are you trying to get me killed? This weird-looking Skeleton King must have come here because of the previous matter.
'If the Undead King thinks that I'm a king, then even if I did what I did, I'm finished. None of my brothers and sisters should be willing to offend the Undead King because of me.'
'Damn guy, I have to get rid of that Blood Shepherd now. Poor guy, who told you to call me a king so casually, and it just so happened that this fanatical Undead heard it …'
Lesumbra knelt on the ground and kept thinking about what to do. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and summoned the Blood Shepherd.
A Treant that looked like it was made of blood-colored trees walked in from the door, but before it could say a word, Lesumbra waved his bloody claws and tore the Blood Shepherd into pieces.
"Damn bastard, how dare you frame me and blaspheme the great Undead King …"
Lesumbra roared as he tore the Blood Shepherd that he had painstakingly cultivated into pieces, and then obediently lay on the ground.
"This is a set-up, a blatant set-up. I'm the most central servant of the great Undead King. I've completed the mission that the great Undead King gave me, but I've also suffered serious injuries and need to recuperate immediately. Because of this, I didn't report to the great Undead King in time …"
Lin Yun quietly listened to Lesumbra's words, and the soul fire in his eye sockets slowly flickered.
