"Fuck …" Lin Yun was startled by this strange sound. He promptly retreated, and at the same time, a flame shone at his fingertip.
With the help of this sudden flame, Lin Yun discovered that there was a skeleton bursting out of the ground. The skeleton was covered in black mud, and it was holding a rusty scimitar. Two phosphorescent lights were flickering in its empty eye sockets.
"Undead?" Lin Yun was startled. This was clearly a Skeleton Warrior, the lowest of the Undead. 'Could it be that my luck is so good that I casually found a Planar Path and entered the famous Undead Plane?
This joke is a bit too big … '
Even during the peak of the magic civilization, mages wouldn't rashly set foot in the Undead Plane, because that place was too dangerous. Even the most powerful mage could fall there.
The Undead Plane was one of the most difficult planes to conquer. They didn't fear death, and their inexhaustible power made it so that the Undead Plane was one of the most difficult planes to conquer.
Lin Yun had once seen a notebook that clearly stated that during the entire Planar Colonization Era, only three people had truly conquered the Undead Plane!
Thinking about it, the entire Planar Colonization Era lasted for ten thousand years, and who knew how many great mages appeared during that period, but only three had truly conquered the Undead Plane.
'What should I do?' Lin Yun felt a bit weak. This wasn't a joke. The famous Undead Plane wasn't a place a 9th Rank Mage like him should set foot in. Let alone a 9th Rank Mage, even a High Mage or an Archmage would be courting death if they set foot in the Undead Plane.
'I have to leave this place as soon as possible, or I won't be able to leave once more Undead lifeforms are alarmed.'
As he thought of this, Lin Yun chanted an incantation, and the faint flame at his fingertip suddenly blazed fiercely. Following that incantation, the raging flame turned into a Fire Arrow that flew towards the Skeleton Warrior. At the same time, Lin Yun hurriedly retreated, chanting one incantation after another. Along with his continuously changing hand gestures, the mana fluctuations in the surroundings once again became fierce.
The fire arrow landed on the Skeleton Warrior's body with a muffled bang. Sparks flew in all directions, mixed with pieces of white bone fragments. The Skeleton Warrior's entire left arm had been blown off. If this kind of injury had landed on an ordinary warrior, it would have been enough to make them lose their ability to fight, but it was far from enough to deal with an Undead creature.
After being hit by the Fire Arrow, the Skeleton Warrior only fiercely retreated before crawling out of the ground as if it hadn't been affected in the slightest. It raised the rusty scimitar in its hand and slashed at the retreating Lin Yun.
This was the frightening part of Undead lifeforms. They were very hard to kill, and losing an arm or a leg was only a part of their body. Apart from inconveniencing their movements, it wouldn't have too big of an impact.
But Lin Yun had already expected this. After the Fire Arrow exploded the Skeleton Warrior's arm, he didn't stop chanting. Just as the Skeleton Warrior raised its scimitar, Lin Yun cast his second spell.
Lightning Hammer!
Following Lin Yun's incantation, a huge hammer flickering with golden light appeared out of nowhere in front of the Skeleton Warrior. With lightning curling around it, it heavily smashed into the Skeleton Warrior's body.
With a muffled "bang", a deep crack appeared on the chest of the Skeleton Warrior, and it continued to extend along with the subtle cracking sounds. Finally, it fiercely split open with a "kacha" sound …
As an Undead lifeform, the Skeleton Warrior couldn't let out a blood-curdling scream, but the phosphorescence in its eye sockets raged as the scimitar in its hand fell down at a shocking speed.
But what awaited it was a second Lightning Hammer.
Another 'bang' was heard. This time, the Thunder Hammer had completely smashed the skull of the Skeletal Warrior. The blazing phosphorescence was instantly extinguished. The scimitar that was raised in the air fell to the ground with a 'clang', and the Skeletal Warrior's figure also fell backwards …
"Phew …" Lin Yun let out a long sigh of relief. He skilfully flipped the Skeleton Warrior's skull while cautiously looking around, ready to use the Planar Path to return to Noscent at any time.
Soon, Lin Yun found a black Undead Essence in the Skeleton Warrior's skull. This was the substance left behind after the Soul Fire had been extinguished. It contained extremely formidable death energy and was an excellent material for crafting enchanted weapons. Enchanted weapons with Undead Essence would add death energy to every attack, making the enemy feel all kinds of negative emotions. If they met an opponent with weak resistance, these negative emotions might decide the outcome of the battle.
Such a piece of Undead Essence could already compare to an Outstanding Magic Tool in the market of Thousand Sails City.
'My luck is pretty good …' The Skeleton Warrior's Soul Fire was too weak, and the chances of it turning into Undead Essence after being extinguished were very small. Thus, Lin Yun being able to obtain such a piece was really good luck.
But even if his luck was good, Lin Yun's mood was still very bad.
After all, every Planar Path meant endless wealth and opportunities. Most of the powerful mages at the peak of the magic civilization relied on a Planar Path to reach the peak of Noscent.
Unfortunately, this Planar Path led to the famous Undead Plane.
Thus, Lin Yun had no choice but to give up.
For a very long time, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to get a share of that plane.
This time, their luck was good. They only encountered a Skeleton Warrior and even obtained a piece of Undead Essence. But what about next time? Who could guarantee that their luck would continue to be so good? What if they encountered a Lich right from the start? That was a frightening existence comparable to an Archmage, and such a frightening existence wasn't rare in the Undead Plane. In a plane where even Dark Dragons could be described as a "group", a few dozen or a hundred Liches wouldn't be a big deal.
'Hold on …' All kinds of memories related to the Undead Plane suddenly made Lin Yun realize a problem.
'Why is there only one Skeleton Warrior?
Wasn't the legendary Undead Plane supposed to have an endless supply of Undead creatures? The lowest existences like the Skeletal Warriors should be described as a "sea" at the very least. Why did he only encounter a Skeletal Warrior after coming here for so long? This isn't logical … '
'Could it be that it isn't the Undead Plane?' This sudden thought made Lin Yun's hands shiver.
The difference between yes and no was too big. On one side was endless wealth and opportunities, while on the other side was the awkwardness of not obtaining anything. For this, Lin Yun decided to take a risk. The rune he had already started chanting was immediately interrupted and replaced with a Mage Eye incantation.
Three Warlock's Eyes merged into the night, flying close to the ground under the dark red moonlight.
From the perspective of the Mage Eyes, Lin Yun could clearly see that there was no shadow of any Undead lifeforms in the black wasteland.
This discovery made Lin Yun's breathing become hurried.
But after thinking about it, he was still a bit worried, so he chanted another incantation and cast an Undead Detection spell.
This time, Lin Yun felt that the black wasteland wasn't devoid of Undead lifeforms, but they were slumbering underground. If they weren't disturbed, they might not wake up for eight to ten years.
Moreover, Lin Yun also discovered that the most powerful Undead lifeform was actually a Bone Devil!
After all, a Bone Devil's fighting strength was at most comparable to a peak Great Mage's.
This was somewhat illogical. In such a large black wasteland, the most powerful undead creature was actually a Bone Demon. According to legends, the Undead Plane was a place where banshees roamed and liches were as common as dogs. How could a mere Bone Demon occupy such a large territory?
At this time, Lin Yun was almost certain that he wasn't in the Undead Plane. Firstly, there were too few Undead lifeforms, and secondly, the level of power here was too low. If this was the Undead Plane where even a Bone Devil could dominate, then those peak mages might as well buy tofu and kill themselves.
But if it wasn't the Undead Plane, then where was this place?
The same Undead lifeforms rampaging, the same dark red crescent moon, and even the death energy in the air had the same smell as the Undead Plane …
"Bone Plane!" With all these clues, Lin Yun slapped his forehead as he finally remembered. That's right, this place was most likely the Bone Plane. It was a place with characteristics that were extremely similar to the Undead Plane, but the level of power was much lower.
This was too different for Lin Yun …
There were many documents from the Plane Colonization Era stored in that spacious and decaying library, and Lin Yun had read some of them when he was bored.
The Bone Plane had been discovered in the middle of the colonial era. Three young mages from the Ivory Tower had obtained the coordinates of the Bone Plane by chance, so they used the coordinates to build a brand new Planar Path, and within three months, they had conquered the Bone Plane.
That's right, three months …
