Chapter 736: The Lich King’s Anger
After Yang Ling had fun with Sofia and Alice for several days, he went back to the Giant Dragon Valley’s Heavenly Pillar Mountain, and he planned to carry out secluded training. Before he left the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, he went alone to see Yuna, who was laying in the Crystal Coffin. He swore inwardly that he would go to the Dead Soul Dimension by all possible means and summon her soul. He would also kill the hateful City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord.
Swoosh!
Yang Ling used his high speed to swiftly take a tour around the tall Heavenly Pillar Mountain. He witnessed that the Golden Roc, the Corpse Wizard King and the others were training peacefully, and he nodded in appreciation. The Poison Dragon King was tamed, and the Corpse Wizard King, who had the Nether King’s inheritance, managed to inadvertently advance into the Core Deity Stage. Yang Ling already had five valiant generals with Dimensional Wanderers’ power, and they could all protect a region alone with their individual power. In addition, if they formed the Demon God Battle Formation and joined hands, their fighting prowess would be higher, and they wouldn’t be any weaker than the Grand Wizard, Houtu, who still didn’t recover his power and soul.
Five valiant generals!
The Golden Roc could fly over a long distance, and he was endowed with astounding speed, as well as close-quarters fighting ability. As for the Mother Empress, she could move silently and could usually carry out a sudden attack that would catch the enemy off-guard. She could also instantly launch a deadly attack. As for the Poison Dragon King, his body contained deadly poison, and he was good at both defense and offense. As for the Black-horned Demon, she had great magical abilities, and her Shadowless Whip was very swift and sneaky. She possessed good offensive and defensive power. The Corpse Wizard King had the Nether King’s inheritance, and the crowd gained a whole new level of respect for him. He didn’t just have great power, his practice speed was also much higher than the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc and the others. He could make great progress every day, and it seemed like he would become the most important person out of the five valiant generals.
After the Death Horn’s seal was lifted, the Corpse Wizard King gained another power from the Ancient Nether King, an inheritance that contained info about laws as well as the ability to absorb both the Wish Power of the Great Wizard’s faith and Undead Beings. He also had the Soul Wizard Spells he got from Yang Ling. Those factions provided the Corpse Wizard King, Rodriguez, with great potential. Among the numerous strong Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Army, the Corpse Wizard King was the person with the highest chance of reaching the same level as the Grand Wizard.
“Seylius, from today onward. Forbid anyone from entering a perimeter of a thousand miles around the Heavenly Pillar Mountain and kill anyone who violates this rule.” A deep voice reverberated directly into the mind of the Flying Dragon King, Seylius, who was in charge of patrolling the mountain with the Magical Beast Army.
After Yang Ling issued orders in a deep voice, he teleported into the Great Wizard Altar atop the mountain’s peak. He sat cross-legged on it and weaved Wizard Seals. He read in silence the Soul Assimilating Wizard Spell’s incantations, and he summoned the remnant Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, within the sixth floor of the Great Wizard Pagoda.
“Sir, spare my life. Sir, spare my life…” When the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, saw Yang Ling that wore an ice-cold look, he realized that his situation was from good, and he begged for forgiveness loudly.
“It’s now already too late for surrender. In the Poison Dragon Valley, you tried to devour the soul of my great general, Rodriguez, and you almost succeeded. Why didn’t you spare his life at that time?” Yang Ling wore an ice-cold look, and he spoke calmly. “Now, you will taste how it feels to have your soul devoured.”
As Yang Ling spoke, he weaved Wizard Seals swiftly and cast Wizard Incantations. He cast a high-level Soul Hampering Wizard Spell, and many mysterious symbols instantly appeared atop the body of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond. They flickered for a moment before they entered its body. Soon after, the remnant soul’s energy turned into black smoke that flowed into Yang Ling’s body through his forehead.
“Ah… Soul Devour! No! Sir, please spare my life.”
The Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, had a secret technique, and he had devoured the Soul Energy of so many beings in the past years. No one knew the terror of Soul Devour more than he did, and this was why he begged for forgiveness so loudly and struggled against it. But, it was a pity that this was a futile effort because he was constricted by so many layers of Soul Restriction Spells. After a short while, his tremendous Soul Energy turned into wisps of black smoke that was devoured by Yang Ling.
“World Control! Omnipotent Magic Power!”
After Yang Ling ravenously devoured the Soul Energy of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, he strengthened himself with the Great Wizard Seal and read the Skyreach Wizard Mantra in silence. He drew help from the Great Wizard Altar and practiced peacefully. He studied the world’s Source Energy in silence. The Skyreach Wizard Mantra was mysterious and abstruse, and every time he read it, he would gain some vague insights about it.
Sizzle!
Many wisps of Worldly Spiritual Qi emerged, and they flowed into Yang Ling’s body through every pore. They quietly nourished every vein in his body and every inch of muscle. The ample Wish Power of the Great Wizard Faith, as well as the Wish Power voluntarily or inadvertently released by Undead Beings, got mixed up, and they flowed into Yang Ling’s body through the region between his brows. He had an endless supply, and the amount of his tremendous Soul Energy increased drastically and swiftly.
The body was strengthened and the soul was changing…
Yang Ling’s mind was clear, and he gained many insights. His body and soul also unknowingly went through a new transformation. The tremendous Soul Energy of the Ancient Dragon Soul, Desmond, provided unimaginable benefits to his practice.
Swoosh!
After an unknown amount of time, a thick and stable Energy Mist was formed near Yang Ling, and its scope only got larger as time passed. It shortly enveloped the whole Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Yang Ling also gained unimaginable benefits, and even the Corpse Wizard King, Golden Roc and the others practicing on the mountain also benefited greatly. If someone came here and took a look, they would discover that sometimes, Yang Ling would be still like a statue, and at other times, he would turn transparent or even disappear strangely. It was like he fused with the world.
“A Journey to the highest of heavens to overlook from above all beings.”
Yang Ling once again went into a mystical state, and his soul turned into a mass of nothingness that journeyed through the world. He crossed many masses of spatial turbulence, as well as Space Ion Storms. He witnessed the destruction and rebirth of many dimensions, and he also saw the terrifying large black hole in the depths of the void that devoured everything. He went into a trance, and his soul was almost swept away by the black hole.
“A large number of ferocious beasts’ souls were sealed by the Soul Assimilating Restriction Spell on the sixth floor of the Great Wizard Pagoda, and if I can tame those souls, won’t I manage to achieve a level advancement and become a legendary Skyreach Wizard Venerable at the highest speed possible? If I teach the Soul Hampering Wizard Spell to the Golden Roc, the Dark Dragon King and the others as well as help them absorb ferocious beasts’ Soul Essence, won’t I be able to help level up quickly, as well as establish many Child Divine Branches affiliated with the Magical Beast Divine Branch?” As Yang Ling pondered over this, he suddenly came up with an exciting idea.
…
On the tallest mountain of the Giant Dragon Valley, the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, Yang Ling and the others practiced peacefully. Meanwhile, in a land billions of miles away, there was a towering palace. There was a lofty old man with a face paler than corpses in it. This old man seemed like a vampire, and he crazily tore a delicate maid into shreds.
“B*stards, most of the Faith Power disappeared suddenly. But a bunch of trash like you couldn’t find the reason behind this even after half a month. You are all a bunch of useless trash!” The old man’s gaze flickered like lightning, and his eyes emitted an eerie glow. He looked tyrannically at the numerous Liches, Death Knights and other Undead Beings prostrating in the hall. “Speak, what kind of phenomenon occurred in the Poison Dragon Valley a dozen days ago?”
The Corpse Wizard King had the Nether King’s inheritance, and he became a Core Deity as well as absorbed instantly a large amount of Faith Power. He caused a great commotion. Ordinary people probably didn’t detect anything, but all Undead Beings in the Chaos Dimension suddenly detected a peerless wave of pressure that stunned their souls and made them shake with fear. The Lich King that slept for 100,000 years woke up quickly, and he instinctively detected a great threat.
“Lord, the Poison Dragon Valley has already been destroyed, and all poison dragons disappeared. Even the terrifying Ancient Dragon Soul disappeared.” When a Death Knight clad in heavy armor discerned that, the angry Lick King stared at him. The knight’s body shivered in fright, and he swallowed his saliva before he said, “According to our investigation, only the members of the Giant Dragon Valley’s Magical Beast Divine Branch were present there at the time of the incident, and it seems like the Faith Power that disappeared has also disappeared in the Giant Dragon Valley.
“Accurately speaking, Faith Power disappeared on the highest mountain of the Giant Dragon Valley, the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. But it is a pity that all our elites that approached it were torn to shreds by the violent Magical Beasts. Even a Lich with a high-level Deity’s power couldn’t sneak into it and clarify the situation.” An aide of the Lich King stated the pitiful intel. He wasn’t incompetent, but this was only because there were too many Magical Beasts near the Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Those Magical Beasts were too crazy, and they couldn’t approach the mountain.
“The Magical Beast Divine Branch, humph. Sure enough, it’s them who’ve done everything in the sly.” The Lich King looked around coldly, and his eyes’ eerie glow grew more intense. As a sizzling noise echoed out, a maid prostrating in front of him was turned to ashes. All Undead Beings here were scared, and they shivered with fear. They were afraid that it would be them, the next unlucky person.
“Lord, out… Outside, there is an old man with long brows that reach his knees, and he busted through the doors with force. He said… He said that he must meet you.” While the crowd was still nervous and shivering with fear, a skeletal guard rushed inside like wind. His chest’s ribs were harder than 1000-year-old obsidian, but half of them were still broken.
An old man with long brows that reached his knees?
The brutal Lich King raised his brows, and he was about to rush out to clarify this matter. But an old man with brows longer than his head rushed inside. This man still had a pair of transparent wings on his back, and he was followed by a large group of nervous Death Knights and Liches.
“Old b*stard, I haven’t visit this damned land for so many years, but I didn’t expect that your guards would only turn for the worse. It’s no wonder that you can’t even protect your Faith Power.” The long-browed old man chuckled calmly and flapped his transparent wing. In the main hall, there were Death Knights and Liches with top Divine Duty Expert’s power, and the old man swept over them with a wave of his wings.
Long-browed Ancestor?
When the brutal Lick King looked at this uninvited guest with brows longer than his hair, his body shivered and he got solemn as if he were facing a great enemy. Algernon Core Deity’s old ancestor was previously known as the “Dimensional Wanderer Killer,” and the Lick King couldn’t discern why this old monster dropped in.
