But after examining the skull, a pondering smile appeared on Lin Yun's face.
The Nightmare Lord's true body was indeed huge, but his skull was only the size of a baby's skull. The Nightmare Lord was the only Specter with bones.
That skull was the back of the Nightmare Lord's skull, a bone that was easily overlooked.
According to the power contained, the brow bone was the strongest, followed by the skull in the center, and the back of the skull was the weakest.
'That Lilith still wants to play tricks and take out the one with the lowest power …'
But Lin Yun smiled, because that skull was the most suitable key to the Nightmare Kingdom. To a certain extent, the Nightmare Kingdom's key was the back door to the Nightmare Kingdom. If it was the brow bone, he could only go through the front door, but going through the front door might be dangerous, and Lin Yun wasn't sure.
But going through the back door was worth a try. Although it was still dangerous, it wasn't completely hopeless.
Agalon had to be saved. Although Agalon would definitely not fall in the Nightmare Kingdom, Gandalf and the other two deans might not. If they were unlucky, they might really fall in the Nightmare Kingdom after a long time.
Moreover, the six Saint Alchemists were needed to set up the Hexagram Star Array. No matter what, they had to go to the Nightmare Kingdom, but they had to be prepared. No one would complain about the danger.
After completing the transaction, Lin Yun took the items and left the Undead Auction House. He originally planned to continue the transaction with Lilith and let her catch a Vampire Ancestor, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lilith definitely wouldn't do that.
Such a direct act of starting a war would definitely not be part of the deal, because the final benefits would definitely be greater than the gains. Most importantly, Lilith did not seem to know that the skull of the Lord of Nightmares was the key to escaping from the Nightmare Kingdom.
She thought that they would have to borrow the power of the Nightmare Lord's skull and soul fragment to enter the Nightmare Kingdom, so the following transaction couldn't be carried out. They couldn't even trade information with Lilith.
If all the steps were carried out by her, it would be equivalent to telling her the way to escape from the Nightmare Kingdom. In fact, Lilith might not know, but the person behind the scenes known as the Master of Greed would definitely guess it.
The correct way to escape from the Kingdom of Nightmare and the key to the Kingdom of Nightmare were too valuable. Most importantly, Lin Yun guessed that the Master of Greed, who had never shown his face and no one knew what he looked like, was very likely to be the reincarnation of a Divine Demon. However, he was definitely not the Master of Nightmare, nor was he a Divine Demon who hated the Master of Nightmare.
The biggest possibility was that they were from the opposing camp, but they had never fought before. That was why they traded the skull and soul fragments of the Lord of Nightmares.
This guy called Master of Greed seemed like a businessman, but if there was a huge and terrifying benefit, the possibility of him doing a good deal was negligible. Just by looking at his name …
After leaving the Undead Auction, Lin Yun casually wandered around. He used at least twenty methods to get rid of surveillance and tracking. He then found a place to dig a hole and jumped through the Spatial Door.
He then entered the Natural Demiplane and took out all the fragments he had obtained before.
Looking at the pile of fragments in front of him, Lin Yun picked up two fragments and a wisp of light power appeared in his hand. The broken fragments recovered to normal, as if they had never been broken.
The fragments' grades were gathered and guided by a wisp of light power, these fragments thoroughly recovered and ultimately combined into a circular crystal plate. The surface of the crystal plate was engraved with numerous strange and simple runes. Just one rune was the simplest rune, but when these runes were engraved on the crystal plate and combined, the aura contained within was even greater than the information contained within a hundred thousand law runes.
Lin Yun only looked at it for a few seconds and felt his head swelling. There were too many things recorded on it, and the information contained was huge and chaotic. He couldn't sort it all out in a short time.
It was that simple to reassemble the shattered stone slabs. All it needed was the power of light as a primer. Unfortunately, in the Undead Plane, there was no creature that could use the power of light and obtain two pieces that were connected to each other. There was no such thing as that …
No one knew what this crystal plate signified.
As the crystal plate recovered, Lin Yun's Book of Death automatically appeared. The chains on the surface of the Book of Death automatically collapsed and the pages flipped to a new blank page. The crystal plate floated above the Book of Death and slowly merged with that new blank page.
In an instant, a series of information entered Lin Yun's mind.
Chapter of Origin, Magic Tool Augment containing light power!
Darkness was the beginning of everything, the world was born from darkness, and the origin of life came from light.
The source of the Undead Plane was darkness, thus, this was the paradise of the dead. All undead lifeforms were here, this was a forbidden land without light power.
As for the other planes that contained the power of light, they would slowly evolve into living beings, living beings.
The Origin Chapter not only could help one comprehend the Light Law, but it also recorded the origin of life. That huge amount of information contained the starting point of life.
Apart from the light power contained within the Origin Chapter, this was an encyclopedia on the origin of life.
The amount of information contained within was comparable to the 108,000 truth runes, but it was even more complex and difficult to understand. Moreover, a lot of the information was interconnected, and if one didn't understand it, they simply wouldn't be able to understand what was being said.
Lin Yun understood. When he obtained a fragment before, he guessed that this was one of the Augments of the Book of Death, the Origin Chapter. This was rumored to be the most useless Augment, but he hadn't expected it to be an encyclopedia. It could be calculated that this thing might be the most powerful one. It wasn't used for destruction or fighting, it was the origin of life.
This thing was completely unreasonable for mages. A Demiplane could give birth to life. Although the majority of the Demiplanes established by mages could only give birth to some elemental lifeforms, apart from Elemental Gods.
But Elemental Lifeforms were also considered life, and Elemental Gods were also considered life. As long as they understood the origin of life recorded in the Origin Chapter, the Demiplane could start breeding suitable lifeforms and make Elemental Gods stronger. At least, they wouldn't be the same as other mages. Elemental Gods were basically the stewards of the Demiplane, and the stronger they were, the more useless the Elemental Gods were.
The Natural Demiplane had already evolved to the point of becoming a true world. The Natural Demiplane had almost everything that a true world should have. The only difference was whether it was perfected or not.
But now, the Natural Demiplane still hadn't given birth to life. That life was an intelligent lifeform, and those small insects wouldn't have much use even if they were born. Moreover, they might not necessarily have been bred by the Natural Demiplane itself.
Even until now, the Elemental Gods hadn't been bred, and they hadn't even started breeding yet. They hadn't even seen their shadow yet. Who knew when the Elemental Gods would be born.
Although it might be because the Natural Demiplane was too powerful and developed too quickly, the corresponding Elemental Gods still had a stable environment, and the stronger the Demiplane, the stronger the Elemental Gods would be.
Without breeding life, the two native Elemental Lifeforms hadn't been bred on their own. It would be strange if Lin Yun wasn't worried.
Even a Goblin would be fine. Although it would be filthy, stupid, and pitifully low in intelligence, it would still be considered an intelligent lifeform.
The Natural Demiplane had developed to its current stage. If it wanted to truly develop into a world, nurturing life, especially intelligent life, was the most crucial step.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't have a clue. After becoming a Saint Alchemist, he had a bit of the Saint Alchemist's creation ability and could create things from the void. But Lin Yun could at most create weeds, and they didn't have any breeding ability. In fact, Noscent's Saint Alchemists were pretty much at the same level when it came to creating things from the void. At most, one could create weeds, while the other could create weeds.
After becoming a Saint Alchemist, it would be the start of another stage, and it would be a very difficult start. Creativity was like Heaven Rank Extraordinary Power, but it was even more difficult to comprehend than Extraordinary Power. It was more like the power to change Laws.
Relying on the power of a Saint Alchemist to speed up a world's breeding process was nonsense. But now, Lin Yun was a bit more confident. With the Origin of Life Encyclopedia, if he couldn't speed up this process, it would truly be a waste of the Origin Chapter.
But now wasn't the time to study the Origin Chapter. After a few glances, Lin Yun closed the Book of Death. With the Origin Chapter in hand, he started thinking about how to capture a living Vampire Ancestor. This was the most troublesome matter.
Entering the Nightmare Nation wasn't too difficult, but coming out was difficult. Moreover, he couldn't bring the Vampire Ancestor into the Nightmare Nation after capturing it. He had to make it stay in a specific place outside. This was a bit difficult.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yun couldn't think of a good method, so he turned and left the Demiplane. With that bloody death scythe on his back, he moved towards the territory of the dark lifeforms in the Undead Plane.
The Undead Plane was very big. It might be a few hundred times bigger than Noscent, and it was still expanding. The lifeforms of all the planes could be divided into two categories: one was dead, and the other was alive.
The living lifeforms were scattered in the endless planes, while 99% of the undead were in the Undead Plane. It was obvious that the Undead Plane wasn't big. If all the living lifeforms of the endless planes converged in Noscent, Noscent would have long since burst from overcrowding.
The place where the Undead Plane and the Leviathan Plane collided was in the territory of the undead lifeforms, but it wasn't too far from the territory of the dark lifeforms. It was only thirty to forty kilometers away, which wasn't too far in the Undead Plane.
The Skeleton King with the bloody death scythe on his back was rather conspicuous in the Undead Plane. He got rid of a few Undeads that weren't very smart, and he also got rid of a few dark lifeforms and devoured their Soul Fires. Soon, Lin Yun's understanding of this place could compare to that of the natives.
At least he knew that this black plain was called the Crimean Gobi, which meant the land infected by the blood of darkness. It covered a few thousand kilometers and could be considered a buffer zone between the undead and the dark lifeforms. This was also the battlefield between the two sides.
Although the number of dark lifeforms was only a fraction of the number of undead lifeforms, individually, the dark lifeforms were a bit stronger. At the very least, the low level dark lifeforms were a bit stronger than the undead. This was very important, and it was also the main reason why they could stay in a deadlock.
After devouring the Soul Fires of a few Heaven Rank Undead lifeforms, the number of Death Imprints hadn't increased by much, but he had gained a lot of information.
After passing through the land infected by the blood of darkness, he went another three thousand kilometers before reaching the territory of a Vampire Overlord. It was a level 45 Vampire Overlord, and it was also a 2nd generation Vampire. Through this Vampire Overlord, it would be a lot easier to find a slightly weaker Vampire Progenitor.
After spending a few days, they arrived at the territory of the Vampire Overlord. Not long after they stepped into the territory, a dense army of Gargoyles flew over from the sky. There were also countless Bloodthirsty Bats mixed in with them, and a large number of Darkness Magical Beasts appeared on the ground.
The black mass of Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats was the fastest, and they didn't show any fear when they saw Lin Yun. They roared and shrieked as they transformed into a black flood.
Lin Yun extended his skeletal claws and scratched his skull, causing sparks to fly. His chin shivered as he let out a sinister laugh.
He originally wanted to use the Skeleton King's ability to summon an Undead army to attack, but then he thought about it. If that Vampire Overlord was scared away, or if he didn't show himself, it wouldn't be good if he caused too much of a ruckus, so he decided to go alone.
Unfortunately, he hadn't expected that the other side would send cannon fodder to their deaths as soon as he arrived.
Lin Yun flew into the air, holding the Death Scythe in his right hand. A huge amount of death energy frantically poured into the Death Scythe, and in an instant, the eyes of the skull on the Death Scythe shone. As Lin Yun swung the Death Scythe, a gray Moon Blade flew out.
The instant the gray Moon Blade flew out, it frantically collided and became a thousand-meter-long Moon Blade in the blink of an eye. Moreover, this gray Moon Blade didn't fly out smoothly, it was like a crazily rotating blade that turned into a meat grinder.
The seemingly ordinary gray Moon Blade meat grinder rushed into the pitch-black flood of Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats, and even the sound seemed to disappear. Countless Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats exploded together, and after their bodies exploded, they were ground into countless fragments. As the Moon Blade flew past, there was no blood or screams. Their severed limbs were corroded by the death energy and turned into gray ashes that fell from the sky.
In an instant, all sounds within a few kilometers seemed to have been corroded by the power of death. It was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard. The ashes slowly drifted down. A skeleton holding a blood-red death scythe stood on the black ground, watching the rain of ashes slowly falling from the sky.
A few kilometers away, the crazily charging dark magic beasts seemed to have been scared. The dark magic beasts at the front suddenly stopped and turned around to flee, but the magic beasts at the back were still madly charging. In just a few seconds, the magic beasts were in a mess, and hundreds of them were trampled to death and torn apart in the chaos.
In the sky, the Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats that looked like a black cloud had lost a large piece in the middle, and the Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats were fleeing in fear.
Lin Yun casually swung his Death Scythe a few times, and a dozen gray Moon Blades flew out once again. They were like large meat grinders that tore apart more than half of the Gargoyles and Bloodthirsty Bats in the sky, and at least half of the Dark Magic Beasts on the ground.
The Soul Fire in Lin Yun's eye sockets softly swayed. He suddenly felt that playing the role of a Skeleton King wasn't bad. It was like a Heaven Rank Sword Saint, and with the power of the Death Scythe, he would be a bit stronger than a Heaven Rank Sword Saint of the same rank.
More than half of the two aggressive dark lifeform armies were killed by Lin Yun with a few casual swings of his Death Scythe. Lin Yun calmly chased after the dark lifeform armies, and whenever he got close, he would casually swing his Death Scythe and get rid of a batch before letting the rest escape.
The Dark Gargoyles were a bit better off. In Lin Yun's eyes, those Bloodthirsty Bats and Dark Magic Beasts were the only color in this black and white world. A large amount of blood-colored light could be seen from twenty to thirty kilometers away. It was too conspicuous.
Lin Yun suddenly felt that the fight between the Undead and Dark Magic Beasts was directly related to the fact that Dark Magic Beasts could be considered living lifeforms to a certain extent. It might even be the biggest reason.
At the very least, this was definitely the biggest reason at low levels. If a Level 20 Dark Magic Beast ran into the Undead's territory, the Undead that had yet to awaken wisdom would definitely rush over and tear it to shreds.
Just as he was thinking about how to catch that Vampire Overlord and then find a weaker Vampire Ancestor, Lin Yun suddenly felt his head being grabbed by someone. Sharp claws were grabbing at Lin Yun's skull, and a large amount of glaring sparks shone on Lin Yun's skull. It sounded like two pieces of metal fiercely colliding and rubbing against each other, emitting an ear-piercing sound.
Lin Yun slightly lowered his head, and then he felt something continuously striking his spine. A shadow appeared behind Lin Yun, and he could only see two claws frantically clawing at Lin Yun's head and spine, especially the cervical vertebrae.
