Chapter 708: Chapter 464: You agreed before I finished speaking?_2
Whoosh!
Nine figures disappeared in a flash.
The Death Lord wiped the sweat from his face and muttered hoarsely, “Come…”.
“Come!”
Not until he called for the third time did four high-ranking True Deities rush over.
“Damn it!”
The Death Lord gritted his teeth and asked, “Where are Cyrus and Feick?”
“Sovereign, Cyrus and Feick have fallen!”
“!!!”
The face beneath the Death Lord’s black robe was nearly twisted with rage.
After the battle with Satan years ago, he had only nine “high-ranking True Deities” left under his command… These nine were the ones who had followed him the longest and had become “high-ranking True Deities” through their own efforts.
Whether in strength or potential, they far surpassed those who had refined their divine essence to become true deities.
Thus, the Death Lord valued these nine “high-ranking True Deities” greatly.
But now… only four were left.
“Issue an order for all the undead skilled in earth magic in the Death Plains to enter the City of Death and repair the city as soon as possible!”
“Also… ”
“Select and train some middle-ranked True Deities who have become gods on their own to develop a new batch of high-ranked True Deities as soon as possible.”
Three high-ranking True Deities rushed away.
Only one remained, hesitant, and asked, “Sovereign… do we really have to ally with the Immortal Beings from the East?”
The Death Lord took a deep look at the high-ranking True Deity under his command and said, “Satan and I have always been at odds. You all have followed me and killed many of Satan’s fallen angels. Now that Satan has reemerged and gained the support of that being from the netherworld… do you think our City of Death can withstand Satan?”
The high-ranking True Deity shook his head.
The Death Lord asked again, “What would be the consequences if we fall into Satan’s hands?”
After thinking for a moment, the high-ranking True Deity replied, “We would undoubtedly be doomed!”
“Since it’s certain death, do we have a choice?”
The Death Lord waved his hand and returned to his palace.
The once-magnificent palace was now nearly in ruins. The Death Lord waved his hand, restoring everything, and then sat down cross-legged, quietly cultivating and waiting.
…
The edge of the Death Plains.
Immortal light traveled from the east and landed on the ground.
The figure of Xu Yang slowly emerged from the immortal light.
He took a glance at the Death Plains, waved his hand gently, and the death fog in front of him slowly dispersed. Then Xu Yang stepped into the Death Plains.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
As soon as he entered the Death Plains, the sound of Yin wind brushing against his ears could be heard.
One after another, mindless undead creatures pounced at Xu Yang.
Without dodging or counterattacking, Xu Yang chanted the Golden Light Mantra, and rays of golden light emerged from his body, enveloping an area of eight hundred meters around him.
Any undead that touched the golden light would instantly turn to ashes.
One by one, the system notification sounded in his ears.
Looking at the rapidly rising merit points on his attribute panel, Xu Yang couldn’t help but think, “If I could kill all the undead creatures on this Death Plains, I wonder how many merit points I could accumulate…”
Of course, Xu Yang was merely thinking to himself.
After all, he still needed to negotiate with the Death Lord.
If he truly wiped out all the undead creatures on the Death Plains, how could this so-called “Overseer of Death” agree?
Xu Yang continued to walk.
Soon, he found himself eight hundred miles deep into the Death Plains.
He didn’t know how many undead creatures had been killed by his “Golden Light Mantra” passive defense. The merit points displayed on his attribute panel had already surpassed the 200 million mark.
Xu Yang had also discovered something interesting.
Not all the undead creatures in the Death Plains were mindless!
Some undead creatures, comparable to “Level 9 Mages,” seemed to have gained some level of intelligence. Those at the “Sacred Realm” level had even greater intelligence.
Xu Yang captured a divine-level undead creature and found out that…
These so-called undead were actually the souls of humans after death.
Similar to the ghosts of the Underworld Palace.
Of course, besides humans, many demons, magical beasts, and other creatures with souls would also turn into undead after death. Weaker undead were muddle-headed and devoid of intellect.
Only after growing to a certain level would they develop a spiritual consciousness or even recover their “memories from when they were alive.”
Xu Yang was surprised.
He had heard the Ninth Prince of the Demonic Python Chiyuan Clan mention that Satan had once tried to create an artifact resembling the “Six Paths of Reincarnation” of the Underworld Palace, intending to make the “undead” in hell reincarnate…
It seemed that Satan had failed.
When the number of merit points reached 300 million, Xu Yang felt that it was enough. He bowed with clasped hands and said loudly, “Xu Yang, Heavenly Master of the Jingming Sect in the human world, come to pay respect to the Death Lord, and I hope that you will show yourself.”
Humm!
As soon as his voice fell, a high-ranking True Deity appeared.
The high-ranking True Deity made a very gentlemanly gesture and said, “Celestial Master Xu… please, our Sovereign has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Soon, Xu Yang was led into the City of Death.
Curiously observing the subterranean divine city, Xu Yang noticed that it seemed to have suffered extensive damage not long ago. Although the damaged areas had been mostly repaired, the remaining traces could not escape his eyes.
