This path was unimpeded, and Lin Yun soon found the puppet hunting the Skeleton Warriors at the edge of the black wasteland.
"I wonder how the harvest was …" Lin Yun softly chanted a control rune, and the puppet chasing the Skeleton Warriors immediately gave up on its target and moved towards Lin Yun like a hunting dog.
Before the puppet even reached him, Lin Yun discovered a thick aura of death spreading around the puppet. Lin Yun knew that this was the aura of death that came from carrying a large amount of Soul Essences for a long time.
It looked like the puppet's harvest hadn't been small in the past two months.
Sure enough, when the puppet reached his side, Lin Yun used a control rune to open the puppet's arm. There were two spatial arrays engraved on the puppet's arm and he saw that it was filled with Soul Essences. There were at least three thousand of them. If this was put on the market of Thousand Sails City, it would immediately cause a huge uproar.
"Not bad." Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction. The harvest this time greatly exceeded Lin Yun's expectations. Lin Yun originally thought that the puppet would at most get around a thousand Soul Essences, but he hadn't expected that the harvest would be three times what he expected.
From this, it could be seen how rich the Bone Plane was.
Lin Yun softly chanted a control rune to keep the puppet vigilant while he piled up all the Soul Essences on the ground. He then took out the Sage Chapter from his pocket.
As Lin Yun poured a wisp of mana into it …
The Sage Chapter blossomed with a dazzling light, and at the same time, a shocking death energy was released, enveloping everything within several dozen meters.
The mountain of Soul Essences on the ground resonated with the frightening Death Energy in an instant.
At first, they were only emitting a faint light, but as time went on, these faint lights gradually became brighter and brighter. In the end, the dim Soul Essences turned into dazzling Soul Fires. The area Lin Yun was in was illuminated by these several thousand Soul Fires, making it look like it was daytime!
Following that, the Sage Chapter's radiance flickered, and the thousands of Soul Fires were like moths flying into a flame, throwing themselves at the Sage Chapter one after another.
One, ten, a hundred …
More and more Soul Fires poured into the Sage Chapter, and in a short time, the Sage Chapter had absorbed several hundred Soul Fires. At this time, Lin Yun could clearly feel that this shocking amount of Soul Fires was making the Sage Chapter undergo a transformation. The originally dim stone tablet seemed to be emitting wisps of light as the shocking amount of Soul Fires poured in.
Every time the Sage Chapter absorbed a batch of Soul Fires, it would become a bit brighter. In the end, several thousand Soul Fires were completely absorbed, and the entire Sage Chapter seemed to have turned into a sparkling and translucent crystal.
'This should be an advancement …' Lin Yun held the crystal in his hand and carefully looked at it. Lin Yun could clearly feel a huge amount of death energy flowing within the Sage Chapter, it was a few times stronger than before.
Lin Yun thought for a bit and tried to store a 2nd Tier Spell, Frost Ring.
And it really succeeded …
'Sure enough, it advanced.'
In the past, the Sage Chapter could only store 1st Rank Spells.
After 1st Tier Spells were upgraded to Ultimate Spells, their power would be comparable to 4th Tier Spells. In other words, they would be at the level of a 5th Rank Great Mage.
But now, the Sage Chapter could store 2nd Tier Spells.
2nd Tier Spells upgraded to Ultimate Spells would have the power of 5th Tier Spells, directly jumping from the level of a 5th Rank Great Mage to the level of a High Mage.
This wasn't a small increase.
Apart from a monstrous existence like Lin Yun, the gap between a 5th Rank Great Mage and a High Mage was almost insurmountable. But now, these several thousand Soul Fires allowed the Sage Chapter to break through that huge chasm.
It could be said that the power of the current Sage Chapter had increased a few times compared to before.
The only regretful thing was that there were still three slots for Ultimate Spells.
'Alright, three should be enough …' After consoling himself, Lin Yun stored the other two 2nd Tier Spells in his storage ring.
He then took the puppet and left this black wasteland.
Half an hour later, Lin Yun stepped into a dense forest. It looked verdant and full of vitality, but it gave off a gloomy and oppressive feeling. The pungent smell of blood filled this forest.
Lin Yun knew that this should be the famous Blood Forest.
Don't be fooled by the tall trees and fragrant grass here. In fact, every tree and every weed was a terrifying and sinister bloodsucking monster.
Sure enough, just as Lin Yun stepped into the forest, a sharp whistling sound echoed in his ears. The originally verdant grass rolled up in an instant as countless thorny vines coiled towards Lin Yun's legs like vipers.
But since Lin Yun dared to step into the Blood Forest, how could he be unprepared?
Just as the grass turned over, Lin Yun chanted an incantation and cast a Flame Path. Only an explosion could be heard as raging flames ignited under Lin Yun's feet. Those thorny vines didn't even have time to wrap around Lin Yun's legs before they were burnt to ashes by the raging flames.
Lin Yun didn't even look down as he led the puppet into the depths of the forest. But he didn't stop his incantation, and the Elemental Amber at the tip of his Spiritual Magic Staff kept producing dazzling flames.
Because Lin Yun knew that the Blood Forest wasn't an ordinary place. This was the habitat of the Undead Plants. Although the underbrush under his feet was strange and sinister, it was only a bit stronger than the Skeleton Warriors. The truly dangerous ones were those several-hundred-meter-tall ancient trees. Their power was close to that of a Bone Devil.
After all, there weren't just one or two such ancient trees in the Blood Forest.
Sure enough, just as the underbrush turned to ashes, Lin Yun suddenly felt the earth under his feet shake. Then, Lin Yun heard the sound of something tearing through the air behind him. He turned around and saw a few arm-thick branches ruthlessly lashing at him like whips.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was prepared.
Just as the sound echoed, Lin Yun chanted the last part of his incantation. The Elemental Amber at the tip of his Spiritual Magic Staff flashed with light as a Flame Collision was cast. This was a 4th Tier Spell, and after being merged with the Magic Array, its power was so great that even a High Mage like Allen Watson wouldn't dare to face it head-on, let alone an Undead Ancient Tree that was less than twenty meters tall.
"Boom!" A dazzling fireball struck the Undead Ancient Tree along with several arm-thick tree branches. With a "kacha" sound, the entire Undead Ancient Tree was split into two from the middle …
Those branches instantly turned to ashes, and not even a corner of Lin Yun's clothes remained.
But Lin Yun didn't dare to stop, because Lin Yun knew that he had already alarmed the Undead Ancient Trees in the Blood Forest. This was only the beginning, what he would have to face next would be a hundred times more Undead Ancient Trees.
Sure enough, after this Undead Ancient Tree was split in two, the shaking under his feet didn't stop.
In an instant, four or five Undead Ancient Trees had already stood up, and it looked like more and more Undead Ancient Trees were about to appear.
'Damnit, I knew it …' Facing such a large number of Undead Ancient Trees, Lin Yun couldn't help bitterly smiling.
This time, Lin Yun didn't dare to hold anything back.
After spitting out a control rune, the Gaugass Battlemage Prototype puppet immediately went all-out. The Gold Essence Spear in its hands emitted dazzling flames as it plunged into the Undead Ancient Trees. Lin Yun raised his casting speed to the limit, and with his five Magic Arrays, he cast one spell after another, overturning the ground within a hundred meters.
This battle lasted for no less than half an hour, and no less than a hundred Undead Ancient Trees were killed. Only when Lin Yun's mana was almost exhausted and the puppet was covered in injuries did the Undead Ancient Trees' offensive gradually slow down.
When the last Undead Ancient Tree fell, Lin Yun could finally catch his breath. He looked around and saw that there was no longer an Undead Ancient Tree standing within a few hundred meters. The grass on the ground had all been burnt to ashes, and it was scorched earth as far as the eye could see. It was even more desolate than the black wasteland occupied by the Bone Devil.
At this time, Lin Yun couldn't care too much. He directly looked for a clean place to sit down and used the Elemental Amber Ring to slowly recover his mana. At the same time, he ordered the puppet to search, because Lin Yun remembered that after these Undead Ancient Trees died, they would leave behind Life Crystals.
Although Life Crystals were magic materials that didn't contain much mana, they were very widely used in potioneering. Life Crystals contained very powerful life energy and were most suitable for compounding two kinds of potions. One was restorative, and the other was berserk.
Moreover, Lin Yun remembered a few formulas from the peak of the Magic Era that could make these Life Crystals display an unbelievable effect.
In fact, there were a total of three shortcuts to the Book of Death.
The reason why Lin Yun chose this one, apart from being safe enough, was because he could conveniently harvest the Undead Ancient Trees in the Blood Forest.
