Chapter 126. The Deceased King Appears, High-Ranking Shadow Elementalist
While using the energy of the Azure Dragon Pendant to break through the nebula barrier, the outer city wall of the ancient capital.
By this time, dawn was breaking, and Han Ji and the others had returned. Although those who went out were all high-level mages, there had still been losses.
However, it's not very big.
Right now, the sky is already turning a pale white, and almost 99 percent of the residents of the outer city have already fled into the safety barrier.
As dawn broke, the dark clouds and rain cast a somber shadow over everything. But no matter how gloomy or obscure, the night was over; it was daytime, the early morning, the time when this war should end.
Even though the bells had already echoed throughout the city, the number of spirits attempting to breach the city walls did not decrease; in fact, it increased!
Although this scene was expected, everyone was still shocked when they actually saw it.
"Retreat! Have all the outer city wall mages retreat to the safety barrier!" Han Ji immediately ordered.
As the vast, black tide surged towards the crumbling city walls, the dawn broke, yet the rain continued unabated. For millennia, no spirit had ever been seen roaming in broad daylight. But this time, the Holy See had succeeded; they had truly made the undead remain ferocious even in broad daylight!
"Waaaaaahh...
Just as the mages on the city wall were retreating, a death knell-like cry came from the north corner of the city. The high-ranking officials peered through the drizzling rain and were shocked to see a skeletal creature with enormous bone wings flying close to the clouds in the dim and unclear sky!
Its silhouette drew closer and closer, its skeletal form comparable to the main city tower standing on the north city wall, and its skeletal wings, when fully extended, could cast a large shadow like clouds!
Lord of the Underworld!
Upon seeing this creature, the high-level mages in the ancient capital recognized it immediately.
The Demon Tyrant is a demon, the ruler of demons. Its appearance is always accompanied by a vast horde of demons, densely packed together!
The Lord of Skeletons is a skeleton, the Lord of Skeletons!
This is a super undead whose fearsome reputation even surpasses that of the Ghostly Tyrant!
It is worth mentioning that the Ghost King that people know is not actually the Ghost King among the Eight Kings of Death.
The Ghost King, one of the Eight Kings of the Dead, seems to have never appeared since his appearance several hundred years ago. Of course, the Kings of the Dead are almost all beings who exist in dreams for hundreds, or even nearly a thousand years.
At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld was already approaching the north city wall.
"Waaaaaahh...
Another death knell-like roar was heard, and the Skeleton Lord hovered several kilometers away from the city wall. It raised the main head of its three heads high, and black energy could be seen shining through its empty throat!
The sharp, dark light suddenly transformed into a shockwave, roaring in from several kilometers away like a black rainbow of death.
The space buzzed, and the death rainbow had no arc, but instead appeared as a straight diagonal line that swept across the area between the heavy rain and the city wall. A few seconds later, the black rainbow shockwave came out in a column and hit the left end of the north city wall tower, one kilometer away!
The darkness was so intense that it extinguished the dawn.
When the north city wall touched the black rainbow, it merely turned gray, but the next second the entire solid rock of the north city wall was devoured by the blackness!
"Boom!!!"
When the sound became incredibly loud, it was as silent as death. All the high-ranking officials watched this scene in silence. As soon as the Lord of the Underworld appeared, he directly evaporated a section of the city wall!
Of course, along with that, most of the buildings in the northern part of the city are also included.
"Let's go!" Han Ji looked at the several unwilling high-level mages and gave the order without hesitation.
Although they were angry and unwilling, Han Ji ordered them to evacuate, and for now, they had no choice but to follow suit.
They need to conserve their strength, but even more so, they need to be responsible to the millions of people in the ancient capital.
A terrifying creature with bony wings hovered in the sky, looking down at the city that it could easily annihilate like livestock. Humans were too insignificant in its eyes; it could wipe out mages without lifting a finger...
It roared in the air, and all the dead obeyed its command and rose from their graves, their bones standing tall and endless!
At the far end of the vast ocean of the dead, a mad corpse, towering like a mountain, appeared without warning. With each step it took, the ground trembled and reached the city, making the iron-clad city tremble under its feet!
The Corpse of the Mountain responded to the call of the Lord of the Underworld in the sky. Its body became a sky-reaching Corpse Banner. Countless undead corpses assembled their bodies and gathered together. Whether they crawled out from underground or rolled in from the far north, their numbers were so great that they could cover the distant horizon.
The drizzle began to intensify, forming gray curtains between heaven and earth, weaving together with the dense, endless army of the dead into a giant net that slowly drew the city closer!
The moment the two thousand-year-old corpses appeared, all the mages abandoned the outer city wall without the slightest hesitation.
The civilians had already been evacuated before dawn, so there was no need for these mages to fight to the death here.
The outer city wall, to put it bluntly, is just an ordinary city wall. It can withstand the attacks of servants and generals, but it is extremely fragile against commanders and monarchs.
Within the Abyss of Evil.
At this moment, Mo Fan had already used the energy fed back from the Azure Dragon's Pendant to break through to the advanced level of the Shadow element.
Compared to Mind and Curse magic, Shadow magic is clearly more effective against the undead.
Furthermore, mind-based magic is rather mysterious; it's not something that can be mastered simply by having enough energy. It also requires a certain state of mind.
But after breaking through the Shadow element, Mo Fan still gave it a try.
Unfortunately, the Mind System ultimately failed to achieve a successful breakthrough!
Clearly, the Mind System is not yet at the point of breakthrough, or rather, Mo Fan has not yet reached that level.
Having failed to break through, the energy within the Azure Dragon's Fall was clearly insufficient for further breakthroughs in the Curse system, so he channeled all of that energy into the Space system.
The breakthrough in the spatial system went relatively smoothly, and he quickly reached the second level of the intermediate stage.
After achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation, Mo Fan continued on his journey.
Beyond the Lotus of Immortality lie various statues, each one incredibly lifelike. Furthermore, all the statues are made of white jade, which strikingly resembles the woman's fair and smooth skin.
Most importantly, all of these sculptures are of women with graceful figures and delicate feet. They are in different poses, some bowing, some bowing, some kneeling, and some smiling. When you walk past them, you really feel like an emperor with a long line of concubines waiting to greet him.
To further emphasize that these women were the king's favorites, they were not dressed during the sculpting process.
Indeed, food and sex are human nature!
Even our fascinating ancestors were no exception.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After achieving success and fame, if a man doesn't even admire beautiful women, then something is somewhat abnormal.
