The Nether Monarch roared in the sky, and all the undead obeyed its command, crawling out of their graves—countless skeletons, endless!At the far end of the vast sea of undead, a Mountain Peak Corpse, towering like a mountain, appeared without warning.
With every step it took, the ground tremor reached the city, and the city, as solid as an iron bucket, trembled beneath its feet!The Mountain Peak Corpse responded to the call of the Nether Monarch in the sky.
Its body was a colossal corpse banner reaching the heavens. Millions of undead corpses assembled their bodies and converged, whether crawling out from underground or rolling in from the more distant north, their numbers so vast they could cover the distant horizon.
The continuous rain began to fall torrentially, forming gray curtains between heaven and earth. Together with the dense, boundless, and endless army of undead, they wove a giant net of heaven and earth, slowly enveloping the city, slowly closing in!At this moment, many Mages were grateful that the civilians in the outer city had been evacuated in advance.
Otherwise, the Ancient Capital would truly have become a river of blood this time.Inside the S煞渊.He didn't know how many cycles he had been through, how many millennia he had repeated, or how much of his twenty-something-year-old personal experience and memories remained.
In short, the moment Mo Fan opened his eyes, he even questioned his own awakening this time.Gradually, his own memories finally flooded back, but the fatigue from the cycles of time still left him sitting there blankly for a very long time.It felt like only an instant, but the sensation just now made Mo Fan wonder how many years had truly passed.
The Evil Abyss, a strange space.The world of magic, even stranger!About ten minutes later...Mo Fan's gaze fell upon a massive white tomb palace not far ahead.The white palace was very conspicuous, built entirely of white jade, so smooth that it reflected the sky itself.Originally, a white tomb palace would appear grand, noble, sacred, and serene, but this particular white was more like the eerie white used for funerals, permeating with an ominous chill.
The smooth jade could not wash away this scent of death.Mo Fan composed himself and walked towards the guided direction, which was the white tomb palace.The land ahead was somewhat raised, forming a stone staircase similar to a castle's mountain path.
After walking a bit further, a grand white staircase appeared!The staircase was extremely wide, spanning over two hundred meters from left to right. Each step was designed for a person's stride, but it would still take a long time to climb to the tomb palace. The staircase was so high that looking up, it seemed to lead to a cliff in the sky.The pristine white of the tomb palace seemed out of place in this world of filth, corpse stench, and skeletons.
If not for the eerie whiteness that made one believe something even more terrifying resided within, this tomb palace would be a pure sanctuary erected in a defiled space.Along the seemingly endless staircase, stone figures gradually appeared.
Their appearance was almost identical to the White Sand Demon Soldiers encountered earlier in the Burning Plains. There were two stone figures every ten steps, acting as guards in front of the palace, emanating a solemn and dignified aura amidst their lifelessness.They stood there like 'Terracotta Warriors,' unchanging through the ages.But thankfully, they had not revived.Upon reaching the main entrance, a bronze mirror hung before the white tomb palace's main gate.
The gate was tightly shut, forming a perfect square, with some white ancient cauldrons on either side.At this moment, the Little Loach emitted a wave, and the gate indeed slowly opened.However, this gate had clearly not been opened since it was closed, and the air pressure inside differed greatly from the outside!Perhaps because of the Little Loach, when Mo Fan stepped inside, these stone statues remained completely still.
He passed through a long gallery, where what appeared to be Ancient King's personal collection of stone carvings hung on both sides.Mo Fan didn't pay much attention to the items here.
He knew very well that the Ancient King's possessions were not to be casually observed.After walking through the gallery, Mo Fan found himself in an incredibly spacious front palace.
The entire front palace was built of mournful white stone jade. The floor was so smooth he could see his own reflection...Pillars stood tall, each requiring four or five people to embrace, covered with dense, intricate Tattoo that Mo Fan could not understand at all.
This front palace seemed to contain nothing; it was empty and silent, save for his own footsteps.
Mo Fan was able to reach this point naturally by relying on the Little Loach.Following the Little Loach's strong vibrations, he walked in the direction it indicated, only to find a stone platform in the center of the front palace.
On the platform rested a crystal-clear demon lotus, which even emitted a captivating fragrance as he approached it.This front palace was completely enclosed, with no further path forward.
And now, apart from the slightly suspicious Tattoo on the pillars, the only thing that stood out in the entire front palace was the demon lotus on the stone platform.
This demon lotus seemed to be the Eternal Life Demon Lotus. The Ancient King's ancient teachings left to future generations had a discontinuity, and their current teachings stated that when the Eternal Life Demon Lotus dies, the bridge to the altar would appear.Therefore, the person awaited by the Ancient King had actually been directly bypassed.
The exotic lotus still bloomed quietly there, having existed for countless years. It seemed that the passage of days and nights, and the vast changes of the world, could not shake it in the slightest.
It remained there, fragrant on its own, eternally unperishing!Mo Fan didn't have any bronze mirrors or anything here, so he directly approached the Eternal Life Demon Lotus.Immediately after, he took out the Little Loach.Since obtaining the spring water from several Wei Ju Villages, the Little Loach had maintained a growth rate that supplied three constellations.
Later, there hadn't been much significant gain, but clearly, today would be its opportunity to advance once again!The Little Loach was trembling so violently at this moment, it was practically a vibrator. It looked as if it was about to shed its coal-ash-like black rust and transform into a small monster bursting forth.
As soon as he placed the Little Loach there, it automatically began to absorb, and the entire demon lotus instantly shrunk into an incredibly bright light of a soul, gradually being drawn into the Little Loach pendant.
After consuming the demon lotus, the Little Loach finally stopped trembling, but the entire pendant began to glow with a light that Mo Fan found unbelievable!The radiance almost illuminated the entire front palace; the pale front palace suddenly became much brighter...Clearly, the Little Loach had advanced once again!With the successful advancement of the Little Loach pendant, Mo Fan immediately began to meditate.
Before embarking on the final trial, he naturally wanted to be in his optimal state.Although he couldn't be certain that the Ancient King was waiting for him, since he had come this far, he wanted to see the outcome for himself.
