Lin Yun was still in the air when the countless Ghosts pounced on him.
The River of Ten Thousand Ghosts was called the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts because there were so many Ghosts there, far more than any other place in Noscent. It could be said that all the Ghosts of the Bone Plane had been gathered in the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts. It was clear from this wave. Lin Yun was still a few hundred meters away from the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, yet there were already several hundred Ghosts pouncing on him.
Ghosts could be said to be a different kind of Undead lifeforms. They were a kind of monster made up of negative emotions and shattered souls. They didn't have real bodies, they didn't have formidable power, and they didn't even have their own thoughts. They would always drift in the same place, continuously emitting death aura and resentment. Unless the geographical environment was special, a place with too many Ghosts would definitely become a sinister land of death, just like the Ghost City of the Flame Tyrant.
The fighting power of Ghosts wasn't worth mentioning. Most of them were around 5th Rank, and they didn't have their own thoughts, so their fighting methods were very simple. At most, they would bite like wild beasts.
But now, several hundred Ghosts were pouncing on Lin Yun.
This was already a number that could make a 5th Rank Great Mage nervous.
But Lin Yun didn't even look at them. He only roused his Magic Array and made calculations at an astonishing speed.
What Lin Yun needed now was a completely new Mind Defense.
There were simply too many vengeful spirits in the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, so much so that his mental defenses were unable to withstand them. Now, a few hundred vengeful spirits were already enough to make him hallucinate. Wouldn't he go crazy when tens of thousands of vengeful spirits pounced on him at the same time?
To Lin Yun, this was the most important thing.
As for the several hundred Ghosts pouncing on him …
They didn't even have time to get close to Lin Yun before they felt the power of Undead Predator. That was a kind of pressure from a superior to a subordinate. Even if they were made up of negative emotions and shattered souls, they still felt an instinctive fear towards this kind of pressure.
However, vengeful spirits were not Skeleton Warriors …
Although the hundreds of Vengeful Spirits felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't flee like the Skeletal Warriors did. They didn't pounce on Lin Yun, but they also didn't flee. They just hung behind Lin Yun like a sinister tail.
As Lin Yun fell into the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the Magic Array completed its complicated calculations.
A brand new spiritual defense finally appeared on Lin Yun's body.
Lin Yun immediately felt that the whole world had become a lot quieter. There were no more strange illusions floating in front of his eyes.
Naturally, it was impossible to completely ignore the harassment of the Vengeful Spirits in a place like the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts. After his spiritual defense was strengthened by the Magic Array, it could only isolate most of the illusions. As for the rest, Lin Yun could only rely on his firm willpower to resist.
At this time, Lin Yun's feet were already on the surface of the water. With the support of the 4th Tier Spell Water Walk, Lin Yun felt as if he was walking on land. From Lin Yun's current position, he could clearly see the endless Vengeful Spirits floating on the surface of the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Mournful wails and cries kept lingering in his ears. It was eerie and strange, making people feel creeped out.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with vengeful spirits. There was no need to count them, because it was impossible to count them. The entire River of Ten Thousand Ghosts was three thousand meters long, but there were at least a million vengeful spirits gathered in it.
Because of this, although the Ivory Tower would conquer the entire Bone Plane a few millennia later, members under the Archmage realm weren't allowed to enter the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts. This was a true forbidden area.
Apart from existences at the Archmage realm, only someone like Lin Yun could enter.
Because Lin Yun had the Undead Predator ability.
To ordinary Great Mages and High Mages, the siege of several hundred thousand Vengeful Spirits was unsolvable. Even if they only had the power of a 5th Rank Mage, even if they fought like wild beasts, once their numbers reached several hundred thousand, all these shortcomings would become meaningless.
But to Lin Yun, who had the Undead Predator ability, the Vengeful Spirits were meaningless. As long as he could endure all kinds of frightening illusions, the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts would be a shortcut to the Book of Death.
Lin Yun stepped on the surging waves, following the flow of the river. Countless Vengeful Spirits floated behind Lin Yun, but none of them dared to approach within ten meters of him. They only roared, cried, and wailed with all their might.
But in the end, they still couldn't stop Lin Yun from crossing the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
More than half of the three-kilometer River of Ten Thousand Ghosts was crossed in an instant. From start to finish, Lin Yun hadn't been touched by a single Vengeful Spirit. Seeing the Book of Death getting closer and closer, Lin Yun's expression became more and more serious. He tightly held the Spiritual Magic Staff with one hand and took out the Blood Heart from his pocket with the other.
Because Lin Yun knew that he only had one chance!
Under the surging waves, he crossed several hundred meters in an instant. Lin Yun stood on top of the surging waves and could already see a huge silhouette standing at the end of the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
That was the Ghost King …
The King of the countless Vengeful Spirits in the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Its strength far surpassed that of the Giant Blood Tree that Lin Yun had encountered before. It was a frightening existence that was only one step away from reaching Level 30. In the entire Bone Plane, the only one stronger than this Ghost King was the Bone Dragon slumbering at the peak of the bones.
Apart from the Bone Dragon slumbering at the peak of the bones, the only thing that could restrain this Ghost King was the Blood Heart in Lin Yun's hands.
'Coming!' Lin Yun tightened his grip on the Blood Heart. He only had one chance. Whether he lived or died, it all depended on this one move.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters …
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Lin Yun, who was calmly standing on the waves, felt his palms getting more and more wet. Fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters … The Ghost King's sinister face had already appeared in front of Lin Yun. A pair of window-sized eyes was firmly staring at Lin Yun, and sharp fangs could be seen in its bloody mouth.
"Try biting me if you have the guts!" Lin Yun raised the Spiritual Magic Staff in his hand and released the Elemental Incarnation he had already prepared, instantly transforming into a flowing stream of water.
Lin Yun, who was in the Water Elemental Incarnation state, borrowed the waves of the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts to turn into a sharp arrow shooting towards the Ghost King's bloody mouth.
Just as he entered the Ghost King's mouth, Lin Yun poured his mana into the Blood Heart, and under the activation of the array, a huge amount of life energy suddenly surged out.
That was the life energy of the entire Blood Forest …
Even though the Ghost King was a terrifying existence that was close to level-30, under the impact of such a shocking life force, it immediately let out a shrill scream. To all animals and plants, life force was the source of life that they yearned for even in their dreams. However, to a chaotic existence like the Ghost King, it was a true poison that penetrated their intestines.
Indeed, pierced its intestines …
The burst of life energy from the Blood Heart almost instantly pierced the Ghost King's abdomen, and Lin Yun, who had just been swallowed, directly rushed out of that hole.
Lin Yun, who had transformed into a stream of water, didn't even think before rousing his mana to the limit. He was like a sharp arrow as he instantly left the raging Ghost King behind. Roars and roars kept echoing behind him, but Lin Yun didn't look back at all. He directly jumped down from the end of the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
Below him was a bottomless cliff, and the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts was rushing down this cliff. Who knew how many Ghosts were roaring within the mist. Lin Yun was surrounded by many Ghosts, and he directly poured mana into the Lava Dominator. His flaming wings spread open, and he rode the gales as he glided in the direction he remembered.
The Ghost King's roars were getting farther and farther away, and the illusion before his eyes also gradually disappeared. Lin Yun was convinced that he had already left the range of the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, so he put away his flaming wings and slowly descended.
After Lin Yun's feet touched the ground, he raised his head and looked around. There were bones everywhere, and there was a majestic palace a few hundred meters in front of him. But that palace wasn't made of bricks, but rather sinister and sinister bones.
That was Lin Yun's destination, the Bone Peak.
The peak of the entire Bone Plane, the location of the Book of Death, and also the slumbering land of the Bone Dragon.
Several millennia later, three young mages from the Ivory Tower piloted a worn-out magic battleship and bombarded the entire Bone Peak with a volley of cannons, conveniently eliminating the slumbering Bone Dragon.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't have a magic battleship at the moment.
Thus, Lin Yun had no choice but to be cautious and slowly approach the Bone Peak.
Fortunately, Lin Yun took a shortcut this time. He passed through the Blood Forest, crossed the River of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and directly stood outside the Bone Peak. This was the slumbering land of the Bone Dragon, and ordinary undeads wouldn't dare to approach it. After avoiding a few squads of Bone Knights, Lin Yun smoothly entered the Bone Peak.
Then, Lin Yun used Haste on himself.
Because Lin Yun remembered that the Bone Dragon was currently slumbering, he had to hurry, or it wouldn't be so easy to get the Book of Death once the Bone Dragon woke up.
This Haste fused with the Magic Array immediately made Lin Yun's speed reach its limit. It took him less than ten minutes to cross the entire Bone Peak and stand in the middle of a spacious Bone Hall.
The Great Hall of Bones was about a few hundred meters in circumference. It looked empty and cold. Apart from a dazzling six-pointed star formation, there was only a black book floating in the air.
Lin Yun knew that it was the Book of Death.
