The two groups of experts faced off in mid-air, their auras clashing against each other in mid-air. Coupled with the ripples from the previous battle, the space here began to tremble along with the ripples. With the two groups of experts facing off as the center, the space itself seemed to be illusory. It was like an illusion that the human eye would see when something flashed frequently in the darkness.
As the illusion flickered more and more frequently, a clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the air and a slender spatial crack appeared, flickering with countless fine lightning bolts.
In an instant, the rumbling sound increased sharply, as if the tunnel space was wailing. The slender spatial crack expanded rapidly, and in a few seconds, it had extended to a length of more than ten kilometers. Moreover, the spatial crack was still expanding crazily, and the speed at which it expanded was getting faster and faster. A destructive aura began to pervade the tunnel space.
Sensing this aura, the powerhouses on both sides suddenly withdrew their auras. Without the catalysis, the spatial crack no longer continued to expand. Instead, it slowly closed. The destructive aura roared in the huge spatial crack, but no matter what, it couldn't support the expansion of the spatial crack.
After waiting for half an hour, the spatial crack thoroughly dissipated and the spatial trembling also slowly stopped.
Noscent's allied army's powerhouses had solemn expressions, but their gazes were ice-cold. As long as the four Great Knights dared to make a move, they would dare to accompany them.
The Plague Knight was wrapped in a dark green mist as he floated in the sky, coldly looking at Agalon's group.
"I'll let you live for a bit longer. That damned Bloody Lich awakened the Great Undead King before dying. Our King has already awakened and will soon personally come here. Your souls will be left for our King."
The Dense Death Fog rose outside the Tainted Blood Ridge. The gray fog was like a wall of fog that rose from the ground and rapidly connected to the sky, enveloping all the places outside the Tainted Blood Ridge. The area outside the tunnel space seemed to be blocked by the Dense Death Fog.
The four Great Knights slowly retreated into the Death Fog and disappeared, while the roaring Undead also entered the Death Fog and disappeared.
The four Great Knights didn't make a move because this passage couldn't withstand the battle of so many 9th Rank Heaven powerhouses. If the space had stabilized, the four Great Knights definitely wouldn't have any misgivings. They didn't make a move because the Undead King had already awakened.
With the appearance of the four Great Knights, Lin Yun knew that he could no longer disguise himself as an Undead. The Death Chapter used to be the Plague Knight's scepter, so the Plague Knight could definitely sense the aura of the Death Chapter.
After the Undeads retreated, the Hexagram Array's arrangement went very smoothly. It took a week for steel forts to be built in the entire passage. These were all important nodes of the Hexagram Array. They only needed to wait until the space was thoroughly stabilized and could withstand the power of a 9th Rank Heaven powerhouse before thoroughly activating the Hexagram Array.
The segmented activation of the Hexagram Array had already covered the entire passage and was enough to thoroughly protect it. It was enough to completely protect that the Hexagram Array.
That large-scale Hexagram Star Array was actually equivalent to a huge array formation. Once it was assembled, it could burst with the power it should have.
It would be difficult for these segmented Hexagram Arrays to stop the four Great Knights, and it would be even more impossible for them to stop the Undead King.
The final battle was about to start and the space was becoming more and more stable. Ten days was enough for 9th Rank Heaven powerhouses to make a move, but the space hadn't been completely stabilized yet. Peak Heaven Rank powerhouses and powerhouses surpassing the Heaven Rank couldn't make a move there.
Noscent's allied forces had already withdrawn from the passage, leaving only Agalon, Alonzo, the three deans of the Starry Sky College, and Lin Yun. Even the Lionheart King and the Forest Elf King had already withdrawn from the passage.
As long as the space stabilized, they would be able to immediately activate the Hexagram Array.
The days of waiting were torturous. Agalon and Alonzo weren't in the mood to bicker, and Lin Yun was also thinking about how to use that 9th Tier Ultimate Spell Slot.
They would have to face the Undead King next, that terrifying powerhouse surpassing the Heaven Rank. Even if they had the power of an 11th Tier Spell, the possibility of getting rid of the Undead King in one hit was too small, and defensive spells were even more negligible. After all, there was only one spell slot.
The Undead King's body had already reached the Immortal Realm, it would be too difficult to get rid of him. Even if everyone worked together, it would be useless. Ten Agalons might not necessarily be the Undead King's opponent.
Thus, he had the Lionheart King and the Forest Elf King leave.
As he floated in the sky and looked at the earth under his feet, Lin Yun suddenly had an idea. He thought of a 9th Tier Spell that should be very suitable for this situation, but how could he make that spell work? If the spell couldn't hit the Undead King, everything would be useless.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array's computing power might not necessarily be able to grasp the Undead King's movements, and he couldn't guarantee that the spell would hit the Undead King.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Yun hurriedly entered the laboratory and started refining a very special potion. This was a potion that could only be made by a Saint Alchemist. Without the creation power of a Saint Alchemist, even an Artisan might lose their life trying to refine this potion.
All kinds of materials had already been prepared in the material warehouse. He had never encountered such a difficult situation before, and he definitely wouldn't dare to refine this potion before advancing to the Saint Alchemist realm.
The refining of this potion required an alchemist's vitality and soul power. A 9th Rank Heaven Saint Alchemist would be injured when refining this potion, let alone someone weaker.
He took out the materials he had prepared in advance, especially the main primer, which was Agalon's heart blood mixed with soul power, the essence of vitality and soul power.
Three days later, Lin Yun walked out of the laboratory with a pale expression. He drank eight Health Potions in a row before his complexion improved a bit. Apart from Health Potions, he also drank eight more potions to nourish the soul and replenish soul power.
Even so, after a few days of rest, Lin Yun's condition was still very poor and he simply couldn't display his full strength. Originally, he could absolutely compare to a 9th Rank Heaven powerhouse, but now, he could only display the power of an ordinary 8th Rank Heaven Mage.
On this day, the space suddenly trembled. A completely different feeling emerged in everyone's heart. The space here had completely stabilized, which meant that the laws here were complete. This place was like a true major plane. No matter who fought here, they wouldn't be able to destroy the space itself.
In the center of the passage, the six steel forts formed a hexagram. Under each fort were branches mixed with all kinds of rare magic metals, linking the six steel forts together. Every branch was a part of an array.
These six steel forts could be considered the six strongest forts here. The forts themselves used a large amount of Abyssal Magic Iron contributed by Lin Yun as the main material, not ordinary steel.
Moreover, according to the previous plan, the earth was fused with the six forts. If they wanted to destroy these six forts, they would have to destroy the entire passage.
Agalon and the other five occupied one of the fortresses and were ready to activate the hexagram array. At this moment, everyone felt that someone had forcefully passed through the barrier on the other side of the tunnel space close to the Undead Plane and entered the tunnel space.
The activation ceremony, which had yet to start, was even less likely to start now.
The six Saint Alchemists flew into the air and looked into the distance. The gray death energy formed a dense fog that looked like a surging sandstorm. In front of the sandstorm, a seemingly ordinary skeleton was slowly approaching the center of the passage.
The Soul Fire burning in the skeleton's eye sockets wasn't dark blue, it was pitch-black like oil. Looking at that skeleton from several hundred kilometers away would make one feel as if countless Undead were pouncing on them. It felt as if their soul was being dragged into the endless abyss of death.
Lin Yun paled. This was the Undead King, the King of the Undead.
Even though he was just a skeleton, he could still sense a frightening soul power that he could not resist from several hundred kilometers away, and this was not the result of the opponent's deliberate attack …
Legend has it that the Undead King had climbed to the pinnacle of the Undead Plane step by step from the lowest Level 1 skeleton. His throne was built by piling up the corpses of countless undead he had killed with his own hands.
After the fall of Noscent's Gods, the Undead King started his rise. He used a frightening speed and momentum to reach level 50. He then fought his way through the ranks, subduing the Four Great Knights and getting rid of all those who didn't submit. In the end, even the Undead powerhouses who didn't want to put the Undead King on the throne had no choice but to submit.
Just like the troublesome Blood Lich. The Undead King could keep destroying his body, but he couldn't thoroughly kill him. But the Blood Lich still had no choice but to submit on the surface.
Now that the Undead King was here, it would be strange if Lin Yun didn't feel a lot of pressure. That seemingly ordinary skeleton was the greatest legend of the Undead Plane.
His body had already returned to its original state. To Lin Yun and the others, the Undead King's body was immortal. No matter what they did, they wouldn't be able to kill the Undead King.
The Undead King's Soul Fire had already turned black. This showed that he had already obtained the Undead Plane's source. Even powerhouses of the same rank shouldn't think of killing him.
"Hand over the Book of Death and commit suicide. I'll allow you to become my subjects."
The aloof and cold voice echoed in the minds of the six without any emotional fluctuations. It was like a great Monarch bestowing a gift to his lowly subjects. Not accepting it would be blasphemy against the Monarch.
The six of them couldn't help having the thought of immediately committing suicide, embracing death and turning themselves into the most lowly subjects of the Undead King.
In the blink of an eye, the six of them broke free from that frightening thought, and shock could be seen on their faces.
Lin Yun's state was very poor, and his strength had fallen to the lowest among them. His soul power had been damaged, so resisting this power was the most difficult. Just breaking free from the thought of twisting his own neck exhausted all his strength.
Lin Yun slowly closed his eyes and sealed his soul power, not letting his soul have the opportunity to come in contact with the outside world. This also prevented him from suffering any harm.
But even if he sealed his soul and closed his eyes, Lin Yun could still sense everything in the outside world. It was just that the range had been reduced to a dozen kilometers. A mage's mana was a mage's other eye.
As the Undead King slowly walked over, that feeling of being pressured by the entire world became more and more intense. When the Undead King appeared within ten kilometers, Lin Yun felt his mana sense go blank. As the Undead King moved forward, more and more blank areas appeared in his mana sense.
At this time, Lin Yun once again opened his eyes. When he used his eyes to look, the Undead King's body seemed to be shrouded in Laws, as if they were separated by a world.
A feeling of powerlessness that he had never felt before appeared in his heart. It was the same powerlessness he had felt at the end of the Magic Era when the world was destroyed.
Lin Yun suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and used his soul power to set up Spirit Defenses around his soul. This was the Undead King's own ability. Even if he didn't attack, he could still arouse the other side's endless negative emotions. Those who were slightly weaker would thoroughly sink if they dared to look at the Undead King and take the initiative to embrace death.
The Undead King slowly walked over and looked at the six of them as if they were facing a great enemy. The swaying black Soul Fires in its eye sockets softly throbbed. It casually swept a glance at them before looking at Lin Yun.
"Hand over the Book of Death and I'll allow you to choose a method of death."
It was as if the world's consciousness had awakened and was pressing down on him. Lin Yun was already unable to breathe and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. He cast over a hundred Spirit Defenses and even activated a few Ultimate Spirit Defenses stored in the Sage Chapter to resist that irresistible pressure.
This was pure mental pressure. Even if he had been prepared, he hadn't expected the disparity to be this big. He originally thought that although the Undead King surpassed the Heaven Rank, he wouldn't be too powerful.
Now, it looked like it wasn't too powerful, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even if he was in perfect condition, he could still be killed in an instant.
After the Undead King appeared, no one in the group wasn't sweating. But now, the Undead King seemed to ignore everyone else and only looked at Lin Yun. Alonzo was the first to be unable to endure.
"Damned Undead, go die …"
Alonzo's face was somewhat distorted, and the tattoo on his cheek seemed to be moving. Alonzo took out a stick that looked like it had been glued to a layer of dried tree bark. Strange fluctuations spread as the stick appeared, and the roars of countless Specters echoed in everyone's ears.
Lin Yun glanced at the wooden stick in Alonzo's hand and his pupils suddenly shrank. That dried tree bark, that ugly stick, as well as that strange soul fluctuation, Lin Yun recognized it with a glance. This was a famous Soul Magic Tool from the future. In terms of power alone, it could definitely be ranked in the top ten.
This was a unique tree that grew at the bottom of the Specter Sea. It was a unique type of plant that fed on the countless specters in the Specter Sea. Its growth rate was extremely slow, and it could only grow one meter at most in a hundred years. That was under the condition that there was a constant supply of specters.
Once the trunk was a hundred meters tall, this kind of strange tree could truly be used as a material for a Soul Magic Tool. The best material was naturally the heart of the tree, and the one in Alonzo's hand was a Soul Devouring Tree's heart. It was the simplest and crudest kind that could ignore physical defenses and directly shatter souls.
This thing couldn't be more suitable to deal with the Undead King. The Undead King's strongest body was useless against this Magic Tool. The Magic Tool would directly affect the Undead King's Soul Fire.
Although Lin Yun wasn't sure whether this Magic Tool could seriously injure the Undead King, it should have some effect.
Agalon's eyelids twitched a few times when he saw the wooden club in Alonzo's hand. With his familiarity with Alonzo, he naturally knew that Alonzo was risking his life and had taken out his trump card, a Magic Tool.
Alonzo waved his wooden stick, but in the next second, the wooden stick in his hand disappeared. Alonzo was stunned. In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale. No one saw what had happened.
The wooden stick in Alonzo's hand appeared in the Undead King's hand.
The Undead King held the wooden stick and lowered its head to look at it. Then, it placed the wooden stick in its mouth. With a crack, it bit off a large piece of the wooden stick. The crushed wooden stick disappeared into the Undead King's mouth, and the power in the wooden stick was completely absorbed.
The hardness of this kind of wooden stick could compare to Noscent's best alloys. It was precisely because of this that it couldn't be refined and could only be made into this simple and crude appearance.
But now, it was being eaten by the Undead King like a snack. Lin Yun could even see the wooden stick being licked by the black Soul Fire in the Undead King's head before thoroughly dissipating, not leaving a single ash behind.
Seeing this scene, the enraged Alonzo suddenly calmed down. He had a dark expression as he looked at the Undead King eating the wooden stick like a snack. He recalled how he had spent over a year processing the materials in order to forge this wooden stick into a Magic Tool. Even then, he could only make it into this ugly appearance. He simply couldn't process it any further.
Now that he looked at the Undead King, Alonzo calmed down and glanced at Lin Yun. Lin Yun nodded.
After obtaining Lin Yun's confirmation, Agalon took the initiative to make a move. Countless starlight pierced through the dense fog and transformed into a distorted thick pillar of light that fiercely attacked the Undead King's body.
But unexpectedly, the Undead King's body only slightly shook and his waist slightly bent. Apart from that, there were no other changes. He relied on his seemingly ordinary skeletal body to resist Agalon's Meteor Starlight, but it looked as if he was bathing in the radiance.
The Undead King raised his foot and slowly took a step forward. It was as if his entire skeleton was walking on water. Apart from slowing down the Undead King's speed, it had no other effect.
When the Undead King's foot landed, the thick beam of starlight enveloping him exploded with a loud bang. Agalon let out a muffled groan, and his body seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as he spat out blood and was sent flying.
Agalon's sudden attack seemed to ignite the battle. Alonzo and the three deans all attacked at the same time.
Chaotic spells mixed with the power of Magic Tools distorted the Laws here. The power of the Laws manifested into a dazzling radiance that lingered around the Undead King's body.
The Undead King didn't dodge. He forcibly resisted the power and kept walking at the same pace as before. He slowly walked towards Lin Yun, as if these attacks were just tickles.
Lin Yun's back was already drenched in cold sweat. He was firmly standing in the center of the six steel forts, holding the Book of Death in his hands as he attentively watched the Undead King's every movement.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array were also revolving at full speed, capturing all of the Undead King's movements in order to make thorough preparations.
The Book of Mantras floated at Lin Yun's side, and behind him was a huge Purple Dragon's shadow. Numerous Spirit Defenses appeared on Lin Yun's body like rain. By relying on these dense Spirit Defenses, he was barely able to resist the Undead King's Spirit Pressure.
Semelon had turned into a skull without any aura of death and was floating above the Book of Death. He looked at the Undead King with a serious expression.
It was fine if the Book of Death was obtained by Lin Yun, but the outcome wouldn't be good if the Undead King obtained it after devouring a bit of the Undead Plane's source energy.
The Book of Death was nurtured in the Undead Plane and was obtained by the current Undead King. It didn't matter if Semelon surrendered or not, because no matter what, the Undead King would devour the Book of Death to achieve his goal of strengthening himself.
"Semelon, if this idea isn't reliable, we will all die. No one will be able to escape …"
Semelon nodded.
"It should be possible. This Undead only fused with a bit of the Undead Plane's source energy, he can't represent the Undead Plane!"
Lin Yun didn't dare to blink as he looked at Agalon and Alonzo. They were like powerless children in the hands of the Undead King. Only when the Undead King became impatient would they be sent flying with a slap. At other times, the Undead King acted as if it didn't see any of their attacks.
The Undead King's footsteps didn't change in the slightest, his gaze never changing from Lin Yun to the Book of Death in Lin Yun's hands.
