When Charles the Conqueror had stepped into the Undead Plane, he had once encountered a demigod Lich. The battle between the two of them had almost caused the Undead Plane to collapse. Even after many years, when Charles the Conqueror's name had already spread across thousands of planes, this powerhouse who had surpassed the limits still remembered that battle as if it was fresh in his mind. He even admitted that it was one of the most difficult battles of his life …
And that Demigod Lich had used a Life Affixing Rune.
It was also from that battle that the Life Affixing Rune truly revealed itself in Noscent. Countless mages and alchemists started researching that rune that could replace a phylactery.
People gradually discovered that although the Life Affixing Rune had all kinds of flaws, just its concealment was enough to cover up all of them. Concealment meant safety, and to Liches who entrusted their lives to their phylacteries, safety was the most important. Even if it could increase their safety a little, it would be enough to make them endure all the flaws.
How could Lin Yun not have a deep impression of this thing that made Charles the Conqueror suffer such a huge loss? With one glance, he was able to determine that these four Demigods didn't have phylacteries, they had used the Life Affixing Rune to transform into Liches!
The thing they entrusted their lives to was impressively that crystal rudder!
Seeing that crystal rudder, Lin Yun understood everything.
No wonder the transformation process took so long, no wonder the transformation characteristics were so strange.
After all, a normal Lich's strength could be said to be the strongest under the Heaven Rank when the characteristics of a Lich appeared. But compared to when they were alive, the increase in strength of these four ruthless people wasn't that obvious.
This time, Lin Yun truly understood.
That crystal rudder was a True Spirit Magic Tool, and now, the Incarnation of that True Spirit Magic Tool had already dissipated. These four ruthless people must have forcibly scattered the crystal rudder's Incarnation and then entrusted their lives to it.
The benefits were simply too great. The lives of the four of them were linked together, and only killing one of them couldn't kill them. Only by killing all four of them at the same time could they temporarily kill the four of them.
The only way to completely kill these four ruthless men was to destroy their True Fates!
Moreover, the benefits of doing so were huge. After the four of them were successfully converted, their strength would far surpass that of a normal Lich!
However, Lin Yun felt that someone was tricking them. If the four of them did this, it would be equivalent to being tied to the captain's room forever.
The person who told them this method definitely didn't have good intentions. They were invincible in the Captain's Cabin, especially after their transformation. A group of Heaven Mages would be abused to death in the Captain's Cabin.
Moreover, in the captain's cabin, they would never die …
However, there was a huge hidden danger. The crystal wheel was a part of the Intrepid, a crucial part of the Intrepid that couldn't be hidden.
An item that could not be hidden …
This was definitely the biggest failure in Noscent's history with the Life Affixing Rune.
However, now that there was a chance, Lin Yun didn't care about anything else. Getting through the crisis before him was the most important thing.
Most of the energy of these four ruthless people was tied up by the Life Affixing Rune. If they were to interrupt the transformation midway, they would completely fail. This was also why they were so anxious about the crystal rudder …
Everything had to make way for the Lich Transformation.
Lin Yun fought and retreated while recalling what he had just seen. The surface of the crystal wheel and the array near the crystal wheel's platform were all constructed in his mind.
He didn't even need to think about it before coming up with a simple and fast way to crack it.
After deciding on a rough plan, he pulled out the bitter Anderfa and quickly told Anderfa about the plan.
Anderfa kept nodding with a bitter expression.
After half an hour, the battlefield was already three kilometers away from the crystal rudder. At this time, it was very clear that most of the Undeads were on the other side of the Captain's Cabin. Only a few Undeads were chasing Lin Yun 'group.
At this time, Anderfa bitterly smiled and nodded. "I understand, but don't kill me …"
Lin Yun solemnly nodded. "This is our only opportunity. Four Demiliches transformed by Life Affixing Runes. If these four ruthless people divert a bit of their energy, they would be able to annihilate us within ten minutes. We only have ten minutes at most!"
They had been fighting for no less than an hour, and no one could remember how many Undeads had rushed out of the death vortex. But they finally had an opportunity to counterattack.
Lin Yun flipped through the Book of Death and mumbled, "It should be about time …"
Less than ten seconds after he said that, the Book of Death started shaking and an indescribable fluctuation surged out. Lin Yun could clearly feel that the Book of Death's power had increased!
When he flipped to the Element Chapter, the original picture of the four elements had disappeared and was replaced by a four-colored vortex. The four-colored vortex was slowly rotating, and the pure power of the four elements could be clearly felt.
"It's finally fused!"
Lin Yun let out a long sigh of relief. He had been waiting for this moment. On the way, Lin Yun had been counting the time it would take for the Element Chapter to fuse. He had been waiting since the start of the battle, and now, Lin Yun had finally waited for this moment.
With the completely fused Element Chapter, Lin Yun was a bit more confident in this battle.
Because Lin Yun knew that only by thoroughly fusing with the Book of Death would the Element Chapter's power be fully displayed. Not only would it greatly increase the power of elemental spells, but it would also have a heaven-defying ability.
That was to summon an Elemental Dragon!
To summon the most powerful Elemental lifeform from the Elemental Plane!
But …
Before Lin Yun could summon the Elemental Dragon, an unforeseen event occurred …
The four death vortexes were like four Gates of Death. A large number of Undeads rushed out, forming a sea of Undeads. Their overwhelming numbers were the greatest threat.
But at this moment, Lin Yun suddenly discovered that some of the Undeads chasing them had started to retreat!
This was especially true for some of the Skeletal Warriors. Their Soul Fires flickered violently. Even though they had been strengthened by Bloodlust and had become extremely violent, those Soul Fires were still trembling uncontrollably as if they were about to die.
Fear! It was so powerful that these Skeleton Warriors could only follow their instincts!
Lin Yun carefully observed. When they were within thirty meters of him, all the Undeads under Level 20 seemed to be terrified and couldn't help retreating.
But the Undeads above Level 20 weren't affected.
Undead Predator!
Without thinking, Lin Yun immediately understood. This was the ability of Undead Predator!
He had previously neglected Undead Predator because the Undeads that appeared on the Intrepid were easily over Level 30. Even in the current sea of Undeads, there weren't any Undeads below Level 10.
His Undead Predator ability only had a suppressive effect on Undeads below Level 10. Undeads above Level 10 could at most suppress their fighting strength, but those above Level 20 were basically unaffected.
Seeing the Undeads swarming over, there was chaos. Some Undeads retreated, while others advanced. The battle hadn't even started, but it had already caused a lot of damage.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yun couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.
Undead Predator's ability had been upgraded. Now, Undeads below Level 20 couldn't get within thirty meters of him.
But now, most of the large number of Undeads were below Level 20!
Although there were a lot of Advanced Undead, most of them were below Level 20. These Undead were like soldiers in an army. Only when the soldiers charged forward without fear of death could they pose a huge threat. Just relying on the commander alone would weaken the overall strength of the army by ten times.
This was especially true for the Undeads. Their large numbers were their greatest advantage. If it wasn't for this advantage, the Undeads wouldn't be too hard for Lin Yun to deal with, apart from being a bit disgusting.
Now, the number of Undeads within thirty meters had dropped by more than 90%. Less than 10% of the Undeads could cross this boundary. As long as the four Demiliches didn't make a move, these large numbers of Undeads would no longer be a threat!
Lin Yun faintly guessed that Undead Predator's ability could be upgraded, and it would only be upgraded after killing a large number of Undeads. Back then, wasn't Charlie the Conqueror like this? He had spent his entire life fighting Undeads, and after killing who knew how many Undeads he had obtained Undead Predator.
Undead Predator's upgrade was like a timely rain, greatly relieving everyone's pressure.
"Everyone stay close to me …"
Lin Yun held the Book of Death and gave a solemn order.
Mana poured into the Book of Death and the Element Chapter's four-colored vortex rapidly rotated. In the sky, a fist-sized four-colored vortex appeared.
Then, as if it was inflated, it instantly expanded to over ten meters and a fiery red Dragon's head drilled out of that four-colored vortex.
A loud and shocking Dragon Roar echoed as the fire elements in the air throbbed like lively spirits.
A huge amount of fire elements converged, and their activity could even compare to a volcanic crater. Sparks could be seen in the air from time to time. This was a phenomenon that could only appear when the density and activity of the fire elements reached a certain degree.
After the ten-meter-long Fire Elemental Dragon drilled out of the four-colored vortex and landed on the ground, just the Sacrificial Fire on its body was enough to burn all the Low Level Undeads within thirty meters.
