From seeing the Ancient Blood Tree forest to entering the dark castle, Lin Yun instantly confirmed Lesumbra's identity. Then, he pulled out the banner of the Undead King and even called out the Undead King's name.
Lesumbra didn't doubt it at all, he was scared to death. The level 48 Vampire Ancestor had no choice but to obediently lie on the ground and kowtow to Lin Yun, the level 46 Skeleton King.
An ordinary Undead wouldn't be as cunning as Lesumbra. Even if Lin Yun was only level 46, being able to call out the Undead King's name was enough to explain a lot of things. At the very least, he was an Undead very close to the Undead King, and he might even have been personally nurtured by the Undead King.
Lesumbra didn't dare to provoke this kind of Undead. Let alone a level 48 Undead, even the 1st Ancestor of the Vampires wouldn't dare to disobey the Undead King.
There was indeed only one King of the Undead Plane. All the dark lifeforms had to admit this, because the Undead King's fist was the biggest. It was a terrifying existence that surpassed the Heaven Rank. It could easily tear apart all the Vampire Ancestors with one hand, and it would be a thorough death.
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but Lesumbra complained even more bitterly.
'Damned Undead, stubborn Undead, don't tell me you don't know how to be flexible? Truly a fool, a fool …'
Lesumbra inwardly complained, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful. Although he felt that he could easily tear apart that level 46 Skeleton King, he didn't dare to injure that Skeleton King's pinky finger.
"Sir Skeleton King, everything is done according to the Undead King's intentions. As long as one of those stupid humans takes the bait, the rest will fall. They all fell into the trap.
Once you entered the Nightmare Kingdom, you would never be able to come out. You would be trapped in there forever. The Lord of Nightmare had fallen, and no one could escape from the Nightmare Kingdom after falling into it.
They wouldn't die for a very long time, they would only be trapped inside. However, one of the experts was too strong. My three brothers and two younger brothers have already disappeared forever, killed by that terrifying expert.
I'm the only one who survived, but I also received frightening injuries that threatened to kill me, so I had no choice but to recover first. I didn't report to the Undead King in time, so please forgive me …
I happen to have a gift for Lord Skeleton King … "
Lesenbula hesitated for a moment before taking out a pitch-black stone box with a pained expression. The surface of the box was covered with strange blood-colored patterns. When Lesenbula opened the box, a Soul Fire that emitted frightening soul fluctuations quietly burned in the box.
Sensing this Soul Fire, Lin Yun's Soul Fire involuntarily flickered. This was the most instinctive reaction.
It was the Soul Fire of a Level-48 Undead creature, and it was still in its perfect state. The huge soul power was more than ten times that of Lin Yun's current soul power.
As long as he devoured such a huge Soul Fire, in addition to the soul power, the Death Mark would definitely be enough to instantly elevate Lin Yun's understanding of the Law of Darkness to the strongest kind of Law.
It was even more powerful than the Laws of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. He only needed to digest this Soul Fire. This was the innate talent of the Undead.
If an ordinary Level-46 Undead dared to swallow such a large Soul Fire, they would definitely explode. However, Lin Yun was different. He could only use a tenth of the Soul Fire at most. Only within this range would there be no negative effects. If he devoured all of it, there would be negative effects.
Lin Yun put away the box and nodded to Lesenbula.
"The Undead King will understand. You've done well. The Undead King said that as long as those humans don't die, they will continuously lure more powerful humans to appear.
Let them enter the Nightmare Kingdom. The end of the war will be our victory. We will obtain an unprecedented victory! "
Lesenbula finally heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Lin Yun suddenly brandished the Death Scythe and dismembered Lesenbula in an instant.
After being dismembered, Lesenbula still didn't die. His head rolled on the ground, looking at Lin Yun in shock and confusion. He couldn't understand why Lin Yun had suddenly made a move.
The special power of the Death Scythe made it impossible for him to transform and recover quickly. He was already seriously injured, and now he was even more injured. If not for the fact that the Vampire Progenitor didn't have a soul, he would have already died …
"Sir Skeleton King, why? Why? I already completed the Undead King's orders …"
Lin Yun threw the Death Scythe to the side, and a layer of gray mist spread from his body. After the mist dissipated, Lin Yun regained his original appearance. That huge amount of lifeforce was as dazzling as a small sun in Lesenbula's eyes.
"Human, you are a human! Sh * t, impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible …"
Lesenbula was already scared to the point of going insane. How could a Skeleton King turn into a human?
Lin Yun didn't pay attention to Lesenbula's shouts. He sprinkled his own blood and took out the array he had already prepared. He threw Lesenbula's dismembered limbs into the array and roused the array with his blood.
Soon, Lesenbula's blood-curdling screams echoed from the array.
"Human, you won't have a good ending. The King of the Undead won't let you go, and neither will the Vampires. It's useless. Even if you kill me, it's useless. Those people have all entered the Nightmare Kingdom, and no one can save them.
"It's useless, they are already trapped inside. Even the Undead King can't save them. You will die, you will die miserably, ah …"
Lesenbula turned into a pool of blood as he let out a mournful scream. Lin Yun thought for a bit before throwing the Death Scythe into the array.
Vampire Progenitors were very difficult to kill, but with his previous experience, Lin Yun knew that it would be a lot simpler to treat the Vampire Progenitor as a special living material. In any case, Vampire Progenitors didn't have souls, and after sacrificing them as a special material, they would thoroughly die.
After killing a Level 48 Vampire Progenitor and using it as a material to upgrade the Death Scythe, blood-colored patterns soon appeared on the surface of the Death Scythe, which originally looked like a pile of bones. The entire Death Scythe also turned blood-red, as if it was burning. Its edges looked even more terrifying, and its aura also became even more frightening. It was far more powerful than the previous Death Scythe.
Originally, this Death Scythe had been a Level 47 Skeleton King's companion weapon, equivalent to a part of the Skeleton King's body. But now, it could definitely compare to a Level 49 Skeleton King's Death Scythe, and it might even be more powerful in some aspects.
Lin Yun picked up the Death Scythe again, and at the place where the scythe had let out that strange cry, a blood-colored skull seemed to have come to life and was glaring at Lin Yun with frightening malice. The Death Scythe itself was shaking, as if it wanted to fly up and get rid of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun shook his head and transformed into an Undead Skeleton once again. It was definitely the purest death aura, and just as it appeared, the Death Scythe calmed down. That skull stared at Lin Yun for a few seconds before opening its mouth and swallowing a bit of Lin Yun's death aura. In an instant, the Death Scythe's aura became the same as Lin Yun's, acknowledging Lin Yun.
Lin Yun scratched his skull with its bony claws, creating large sparks. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Skeleton King's birth was a coincidence. If an Undead Skeleton picked up the Death Scythe where the Death Scythe was born, and if the Death Scythe acknowledged it, it would devour a bit of the Undead Skeleton's Power of Death and become a part of the Skeleton King. If the Death Scythe didn't acknowledge it, it would kill the Undead Skeleton, devour the Undead Skeleton's Soul Fire, and continue waiting.
Aside from the number of Death Marks, the most important factor in this process was the purity of the Undead's Power of Death. After all, the Undead of the Undead Plane didn't care about purity. As long as the Undead had a Soul Fire, they would devour it, regardless of whether it was the same type or not.
And if it wasn't the same type of Undead, the more they devoured, the more impure their Power of Death would become. Although there might be more Death Marks …
But it was hard to find an Undead that rarely devoured the Soul Fire of other types in the Undead Plane. Lin Yun's Power of Death had been transformed by the Chapter of the Undead. The purer his Mana was, the purer his Power of Death would be. It could even be said that his Power of Death was purer than all the Undead in the Undead Plane.
It wasn't surprising that the Death Scythe acknowledged him. Now, Lin Yun felt that the Death Scythe was like an extension of his arm, a part of his body. He had completely become a Skeleton King, and not the fake one from before.
After turning into a skeleton, Lin Yun burst with terrifying death power and swung his death scythe, cutting the gloomy castle in front of him into pieces, thoroughly annihilating the remnant aura of living beings within the huge death power.
Regardless of who it was, they wouldn't be able to find any traces of living people here. At most, they would be able to find out that this place had been breached by the Undead, and by a Skeleton King.
But darkness lifeforms and the Undead weren't very friendly to begin with, or it could be said that these guys didn't know what friendship was. A Vampire Ancestor's castle being torn apart by a Skeleton King wasn't a big deal, no one would care.
As long as it was done by the Undead, it would be considered an internal struggle. Even if it was other Vampire Ancestors, if they didn't have a good relationship, they would at most investigate a bit and dispatch an army of darkness lifeforms to get rid of a few dozen Heaven Rank Undead to vent their anger.
Lin Yun carried the Death Scythe on his back as he left the forest of Ancient Blood Trees. On the way, the Ancient Blood Trees took the initiative to make way for Lin Yun, the Skeleton King emitting a terrifying aura. Walking out of the Blood Forest wasn't difficult at all.
But if it was a living person, these Ancient Blood Trees would instinctively urge them to carry out a suicidal attack. Even if they were torn apart, they absolutely wouldn't stop.
Once again feeling the benefits of pretending to be an Undead, Lin Yun felt that even though the Death Chapter's ability didn't seem very powerful, it was actually the most practical Augment.
Pretending to be an Undead could resolve a crisis and directly turn into an Undead Plane's native. Moreover, he could devour Soul Fires in place of comprehending Laws and use the Undead method to increase his level. This was a lot more practical than other Augments. At the very least, it could directly increase his level.
After leaving the Blood Forest, Lin Yun took out that Level 48 Soul Fire. A Soul Fire of that level, and a very complete one at that, would be extremely rare in the Undead Plane. Casually looking for an Undead Overlord and exchanging it for a territory comparable to the Odin Kingdom wouldn't be a problem, as long as he didn't get killed.
The Soul Fire no longer had any consciousness. It was just an item that could be used as currency in the Undead Plane. After finding a place to rest, Lin Yun slowly tried to absorb this Soul Fire.
The Level 46 Skeleton King was carrying a Death Scythe that was at least Level 49. It was like a three-year-old toddler carrying a piece of gold in a bandit's lair. The higher-leveled Skeleton King definitely wouldn't care about stealing the Death Scythe, even if it didn't recognize them.
As soon as he started devouring the Soul Fire, Lin Yun realized that this Soul Fire was much more powerful than he had imagined. Moreover, it was the Soul Fire of an Undead Skeleton.
Absorbing one-thirtieth of its power was comparable to all of Lin Yun's soul power. In other words, the soul power contained within this Soul Fire was thirty times more powerful than Lin Yun's Soul Fire, and the quality was three to four times higher. And this was because the quality of Lin Yun's Soul Fire was terrifyingly high to begin with.
As he devoured this Soul Fire, a large amount of side effects were eliminated. This power was also soul power, so it was too wasteful to eliminate 90% of it. Lin Yun thought for a bit and poured all the soul power he didn't need into the Death Scythe, letting it absorb it.
After devouring so much soul power, the Death Scythe might evolve into a Magic Tool and produce something like a Magic Tool Incarnation, and it wouldn't just be the Skeleton King's weapon.
He spent a week devouring the entire Soul Fire. Although he only absorbed one-tenth of it, Lin Yun's soul power sharply increased fivefold, and the quality also tripled.
Moreover, the Soul Fire contained a large amount of Death Imprints. These Death Imprints directly merged with the Soul Fire, which was equivalent to directly comprehending these Laws. Then, Lin Yun levelled up.
Level 47 Skeleton King …
After transforming from an Undead back into a human, he discovered that he had already reached the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm, but his comprehension of Laws had only reached the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm in the Darkness Law. His comprehension of the Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Space Laws were still far from reaching the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm.
But an increase in rank was an increase. After advancing once again, it would be a lot easier to comprehend the other Laws.
After sensing it for a bit, Lin Yun once again transformed into the Skeleton King and inwardly sighed at the power of the Dead Chapter.
According to the Undead's path of advancement, advancing was very simple. An Undead with mage wisdom could advance a lot faster than the vast majority of the Undead in the Undead Plane.
Although it would be extremely difficult for him to devour the Soul Fire to advance after this, and the difficulty of advancing further after each advancement would increase exponentially, it was still much faster than trying to comprehend the obscure Laws by himself at this stage.
More importantly, this method was an Undead's instinct, it was completely in line with the Undead Plane's Laws and didn't have any side effects. This was the most frightening part.
As long as Lin Yun was willing, he could keep hunting High Level Undeads, hunting Undeads that were level 47 or above, and continuously devouring their Soul Fires to quickly reach level 49.
Unfortunately, this was just a thought. If he wanted to rely on devouring Soul Fires to advance to Level 49, he would have to get rid of a dozen Level 49 Undeads.
Moreover, his comprehension of the Law of Death was too strong. If he completely crushed the Four Elements, it would be even more troublesome. If his foundation wasn't stable, he wouldn't have any potential in the future.
After transforming into a Level 47 Skeleton King, Lin Yun started thinking about how to save Gandaph and the others. According to the words of that unlucky Vampire Ancestor, Gandaph and the others had already entered the Nightmare Nation.
As he thought of the Nightmare Nation, Lin Yun couldn't help using his bony claws to scratch his skull. This matter was a bit troublesome, very troublesome.
The Nightmare Nation, the God Nation of the Nightmare Lord. The Nightmare Lord had suffered very serious injuries during the God War, and in order to escape the pursuit of his mortal enemy, he fled from Noscent to the Undead Plane. Unfortunately, his injuries were too serious, and his God's soul was covered in cracks like broken glass. In the end, even using the power of the Undead Plane couldn't save him from falling.
When the Lord of Nightmares fell in the Undead Plane, his Kingdom of Gods and Demons collapsed. As time passed, it merged with the Undead Plane and became something that looked like a subsidiary plane, but at the same time wasn't.
This was because the Nightmare Kingdom did not have a definite world. After entering it, it was like entering an endless nightmare. No one could be sure what would happen inside. In addition, the Nightmare Kingdom and the Undead Plane had undergone special changes, so no one had any confidence in the Nightmare Kingdom.
According to the words of that unlucky Vampire Ancestor, this information was very reliable. It could even be said that it explained all of Lin Yun 'doubts.
Only a place like the Nightmare Kingdom could trap Agalon. He didn't die, but he was trapped there. With Agalon's strength, he wouldn't die in the Nightmare Kingdom, but it would be very difficult for him to escape.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to escape the Nightmare Nation in a short time, unless Agalon truly ignited his Godfire and became a terrifying existence surpassing the Heaven Rank.
The fifth ancestor of the vampires had not fallen, but he had suffered a terrible injury. He had not recovered even after such a long time. Adding on the other vampire ancestors that had fallen, they should have been killed by Agalon or Alonzo. No matter how strong a vampire's life force was, they should have been able to find a way to kill a vampire ancestor at their level.
