The Golem Factory in Northern Battlefront City was already on the right track. Now, the number of Golem Army in Northern Battlefront City was limited by the soul crystals. There was a shortage of low-grade to high-grade soul crystals. The Golem Factory could operate normally because of the soul crystals Suhlen collected.
He didn't expect to find soul crystals in Death Valley. Suhlen planned to build a base here and farm monsters there. However, before that, he had to deal with the plague in Death Valley.
The plague in Death Valley contained the power of death. It was spread by the undead creatures. In order to deal with the plague, he had to find the source of the plague. Suhlen suspected that the source of the plague was the ancient undead lord sealed in the depths of Death Valley.
Thousands of years had passed. Even if the seal left behind by the arcanists was still functional, it would have become unstable after such a long time. Moreover, with the arrival of the elemental tide, the undead lord would recover some of his power. The seal would become even more unstable. He could probably break out of the seal at any time.
The elemental tide would affect all creatures in a material plane. However, the effect would be more obvious for powerful creatures. After all, even if the elemental tide fell, the chances of ordinary people becoming adepts would only decrease. Although the overall power of humans would decrease, the number of legendary monsters would also decrease.
On the other hand, the power of powerful creatures would decrease drastically. On average, their power would drop by three levels. According to some records, after the last elemental tide, when the material plane fell into the lowest point of the elemental tide, the spellcasting ability of giant dragons decreased a lot. There was even a phenomenon where a Dragon Disciple's spellcasting ability surpassed that of a giant dragon. It was also the easiest time to slay a dragon.
According to the research of the adepts, if the main material plane was not affected by the elemental tide, then the concentration of elemental energy would be at a lower level. It was like a shallow pond. It would be difficult to survive in a heavy rain. When the elemental tide came, the concentration of elemental energy would increase rapidly. It was like a full pond, and the big fish would become very strong.
This was one of the reasons why legendary and legendary creatures would appear in large numbers every time the elemental tide came.
Death Valley might be a dangerous place for others, but it was not dangerous for Suhlen. This place was nothing compared to the Bottomless Abyss. Suhlen led his army into the Death Valley. At this time, some high-level undead began to appear in the canyon.
A Bone Devil was sneaking in among the skeletons. Just as it was about to launch a sneak attack, it was hit by a Lightning Spear. The power of the Lightning Spear was the best nemesis for monsters like the Undead that were rich in negative energy. Lightning flashed across the Bone Devil's body, constantly obliterating the death energy on its body.
The lightning dissipated, and the death energy on the Bone Devil's body completely dissipated. Its entire skeleton fell apart, and a high-grade soul crystal appeared in the pile of bones.
"Not bad. One high-grade soul crystal." Suhlen gently crooked his finger, and the soul crystal was lifted up by a wave of energy and flew into Suhlen's hand.
"Everyone, pay attention. Put away all of your soul crystals. Also, if there are any high-level undead, don't fight them. Wait for me to deal with them."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"This is a good place!" Suhlen looked around and sighed. Death Valley was steep, and the valley was dark and damp. There were many places where the sun could not be seen during the day. The terrain was dangerous, and the negative energy was rich. It was not suitable for humans to live in, but it was perfect for the undead.
With Suhlen around, the undead creatures in the Death Valley could not stop them at all. After reaching the depths of the Death Valley, high-level undead creatures kept appearing. The most powerful undead creature was a fourth-grade Lich. It was said that this kind of monster was resurrected after the caster died. It could use some spells from when it was alive, and it also had some intelligence.
However, a high-level undead like the Lich was too conspicuous. It was immediately discovered by Suhlen as soon as it appeared. At first, he thought that it was a Lich and was shocked. After taking a closer look, he realized that something was wrong. A Lich and a Lich did look similar, but a Lich was a creature that the caster actively used the Lich Transformation Circle to transform. A Lich would have all of the memories and spells from when it was alive, and would be proficient in all kinds of undead spells.
Every Lich was basically at the legendary level. Most Liches were otaku. They would hide in the wizard tower to research all kinds of spells and knowledge, and make all kinds of magic tools. It could be said that this kind of creature was more dangerous than a giant dragon. Most of the time, a Lich's wealth was more than a giant dragon's.
A Lich was far from being a Lich, and they were not on the same level.
Before the Lich could make a move, Suhlen summoned a thunderbolt and struck it on the head. It was immediately struck half dead, and then it was blown up by Suhlen's halberd. After the lich died, it also dropped a high-grade soul crystal. In addition to the soul crystal, there was also a white bone magic staff. This thing was useful for necromancers as it could increase the power of necromancy spells, but for other wizards, it was useless.
After cleaning up these undead creatures, Suhlen came to the deepest part of the canyon. Unexpectedly, there were no undead creatures in the deepest part of the canyon. There was only a building that looked like an altar, but because of the passage of time, this altar had become dilapidated. There were a lot of cracks on the altar, and death energy was constantly overflowing from those cracks.
"Looks like it's here!" Seeing the altar in front of him, Suhlen said.
"You guys stay here. Just one person will go over."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Su Lun took a few steps forward and approached the altar. The altar occupied a large area, with a diameter of over 10 meters. It was entirely made of obsidian. Logically speaking, this thing should be very sturdy. However, this altar looked like a dilapidated building, as if it would collapse at the slightest touch.
Even the runes on the altar that were originally used to seal the altar had become incomplete. Many of the runes had been completely corroded by the death energy and had lost their function.
"Basically, it's completely damaged. It can't be repaired. We can only tear it down and rebuild it." After confirming the altar's condition, Suhlen's face became serious. This sealing altar had been unmaintained for thousands of years. The wizard sect that sealed the Undead Lord had probably disappeared long ago.
"But this sealing altar doesn't seem to be simple!" Suhlen looked around the altar for a while and made some other discoveries.
He did not feel the Undead Lord's aura under the altar, which meant that this altar was probably not suppressed in a material plane, but a small secret realm!
At the thought of this, Suhlen's eyes lit up. If this was a secret realm, then there should be some good stuff inside.
Soon, Suhlen felt the power of space under the altar. This was a space barrier. At this time, this space barrier had weakened greatly after thousands of years. Suhlen quickly found a weak spot on the space barrier. He then left a teleportation coordinate around it, broke open a space crack, and went in.
Suhlen's vision twisted, and the next second, he appeared in an unfamiliar ruin. As soon as he entered, Suhlen felt that the surroundings were very cold. He knew that the temperature was not low, but a large amount of negative energy had gathered here. It was the human soul that felt the coldness.
"Warning! Warning! "
"An abnormal radiation field has appeared around the host!"
"The concentration of negative energy in the surroundings is too high!"
"Contaminated energy in the surroundings …"
"Warning! Warning! The power of the death realm has been detected! "
Suhlen frowned slightly. This secret realm had become a death realm. This was a place that only existed in the lower planes. The death realm was an area that had been completely transformed by the power of death. Here, even ordinary corpses would be quickly resurrected as undead.
"What did the wizard who sealed this place do?" Suhlen frowned.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness. Then, a bone spear instantly shot out, like a sharp sword, and pierced towards Suhlen.
"Bang!"
Suhlen's arm moved slightly, and the Storm Battle Halberd appeared in front of him. The blade of the halberd moved slightly, and directly cut the bone spear in half.
"What's that?"
Some black shadows appeared in front of Suhlen. They looked like humanoid creatures. They were tall and strong, and the surface of their bodies seemed to be covered by a black armor. The armor was completely black, and even the face was covered by a helmet. In their hands, there was a long sword surrounded by a strong aura of death. They looked like heavy knights wearing knight's armor.
"Death Knights?"
After seeing the appearance of these monsters, Suhlen immediately recognized them. Death Knights were very powerful undead creatures. It was said that only the corpse of a high-grade knight could transform them. The strength of each Death Knight was at least grade 3, and most of them were grade 4.
This kind of undead creature was said to be the most powerful undead creature below the legendary level. It was also the favorite troop of all undead lords. It was the strongest undead creature other than the bone dragon. Under normal circumstances, undead creatures would give people the impression that they were numerous and weak. For example, the lowest-grade undead creatures, skeletons and zombies, moved slowly, had no command, and had obvious weaknesses. As long as one could resist the fear in one's heart, these undead creatures could be easily killed.
However, Death Knights were completely different. These high-grade undead creatures had no weaknesses, no pain, strong attack power, and strong defense. They had simple intelligence and discipline. They were one of the few undead creatures that could form groups on their own. They were the most powerful undead army of the undead lords.
