The outburst that the shield could endure might only be 5,000 points. Then, if the power outburst exceeded 5,000 points at some point, the shield would be ripped apart.
Almost all shields were like that. Thus, mages with powerful outbursts were generally stronger.
This set of magic tools was different in that its total capacity and its outburst capacity were the same. Its capacity might even change. The shield it provided would never be broken as long as there was still mana in the necklace.
The capacity depended on the mana in the necklace. If an attack instantly drained all the mana in the necklace, then the magic tools’ protection would be broken. As long as the necklace contained mana, even a god wouldn’t be able to break the shield. That being said, even Lin Yun was already capable of exhausting all the mana in the necklace at this moment.
But everybody liked to be complimented. Hearing that, Alonzo was in a great mood. Instead of considering taking Marianna away for experiments, he began to argue with Agalon.
Lin Yun was greatly relieved, and so were Marianna and Enderfa. As for Xiuban, he was enviously staring at the magic tools on Marianna. He probably wanted to steal them, but he couldn’t just yet…
Lin Yun ignored Agalon and Alonzo, who were still bickering. Their topic was who invented the Bull Fighting Potion years back.
Gray mist surfaced around Lin Yun, and the power of death popped up. He instantly turned into a skeleton king. The moment he transformed into an undead creature, he felt a lot of information about the skeleton king surging into his head.
As the only undead creature left on the skeleton battlefield, he was entitled to inherit the skeleton battlefield.
Lin Yun thought of something, and turned into a human being. Immediately, he couldn’t detect any information about the skeleton battlefield anymore. He only felt that he could leave now that the owner of the skeleton battlefield was dead.
He had thought of leaving just like that, or that maybe he could summon Lagulin and the others and let them inherit the skeleton battlefield. Now that he could do it himself, he didn’t need their help. Also, it only worked when he was in the form of a skeleton king.
Thinking about that, Lin Yun thought that he could do something special with the Chapter of the Dead and the skeleton battlefield. Maybe it would come in handy someday.
He transformed into an undead creature, and inherited the skeleton battlefield. Gradually, the cage turned transparent, and then disappeared.
The ground where countless bones were paved was gone, replaced by the black ground from previously. Nothing here changed at all. The battles in the skeleton battlefield didn’t affect the outside world at all.
Lin Yun, however, felt that a special mark had appeared on his bone hand. He could tell that it was the skeleton battlefield, and he could release it anytime.
When he transformed into a human being again, he couldn’t detect the skeleton battlefield at all anymore.
When they reappeared, Jophany, who had been forgotten for a long time, was full of tears. After the Bloody Lich died, he was still under the control of magic tools. After all, only the Bloody Lich’s body was destroyed. It was possible that he was waiting to wake up in his new body somewhere.
The Bloody Lich wouldn’t be truly dead until his soul was destroyed. His soul was in the Book of Death. Although it was difficult, there should be a way to eliminate the Bloody Lich’s soul and truly kill him.
Still, the matter required a lot of deliberation. After all, the Bloody Lich’s soul had partly combined with the god’s soul, and it was extremely difficult to destroy a god’s soul. More importantly, after the Bloody Lich’s body was destroyed, he was probably ready to revive in his backup body.
After so many years, even if the Bloody Lich hadn’t prepared a backup body that was at the peak of level 49, it should be at least in the middle of it.
After his resurrection, it was possible that he would rise to the peak very soon. The Bloody Lich had to be all set to recover his peak strength. Chances were that he had already revived…
This was the Plane of the Undead. If the Bloody Lich was determined to stop them from leaving the Plane of the Undead no matter the cost, it shouldn’t be a difficult task.
“Sir, you can go back first, and start preparing the Hexagonal Array. There’s something else I need to do in the Plane of the Undead. The Bloody Lich won’t give up so easily. A gory war is underway. It’s possible that more experts of the Plane of the Undead will come…”
Lin Yun talked to Agalon and the others for a while, and they all left. They knew that Lin Yun was capable of disguising himself as an undead creature, which ensured his safety in the Plane of the Undead. When he was caught in any danger, he could just hide among other undead creatures. Nobody would be able to identify him.
They had been away for such a long time that there was no telling what was going on on the front line…
Agalon and the others all left. It wasn’t difficult for them to sneak back to the Leviathan Plane at this moment, but the situation might change in a couple of days.
After they all left, Lin Yun finally opened the Natural Demiplane again, and sent Xiuban, Reina, and Marianna back. He then changed into the skeleton king again.
He didn’t hold the scythe of death, and looked just like a normal skeleton that wore a cloak. There were too many undead creatures in the Plane of the Undead. Some of the skeletons also had cloaks even though they weren’t skeleton kings.
The environment here had been ruined. Jophany had disappeared too. He had surely been terrified. After the Bloody Lich had died, the restraints on him had probably vanished. That poor guy probably didn’t dare to appear again.
To be considered by the Bloody Lich as a human-shaped key was even more terrifying than death.
Lin Yun didn’t care whether Jophany was dead or had escaped. As long as there was the slightest bit of intelligence in his head, he should know that his outcome would be miserable whomever he talked to.
Lin Yun didn’t need to go to the Kingdom of Nightmares again, so he didn’t try to track down Jophany.
He went all the way back, and soon returned to Dirty Blood. There were undead creatures everywhere on the front line that stretched across thousands of kilometers. Dark creatures were nowhere to be seen. They had probably been killed or exiled during the civil war against undead creatures.
The battlefield seemed quite huge, but it wasn’t exactly so in the Plane of the Undead. The countless undead creatures could easily fill up the battlefield.
After the dark creatures were exiled, the undead creatures started fighting amongst themselves. The battle was even gorier than before. There were fights everywhere. More and more undead creatures were sent to the mincer.
On the undead creatures’ side of the battlefield, the earth had almost been covered by all sorts of bodies. The aura of death had already eclipsed the sky like clouds. Lin Yun was shocked at the luridness on the battlefield as he approached.
More and more undead creatures were joining the battle. In the sky, swarms of flying undead creatures were mauling each other too. Their remains were raining to the ground.
Some of the undead creatures were even killed by the remains that fell from the sky.
As a skeleton, Lin Yun traveled across the battlefield quickly. He had a lot of questions. He had been to the Kingdom of Nightmares and the skeleton battlefield in the Plane of the Undead, and while he didn’t know how long it had been, he was sure that it had to have been at least half a year.
The ocean of fire in the center of the battlefield had surely mostly died out. At the very least, it shouldn’t be able to separate the battlefield anymore, and some parts of the barrier should be possible to cross. Yet, the undead creatures fought each other more desperately.
Lin Yun traveled through the battlefield, and went towards Emir’s turf. The more fiercely undead creatures fought, the more advantages human beings would have. In a regular battle, human beings were no match for undead creatures at all.
There wasn’t a lot of time. To set up a Hexagonal Array, all undead creatures had to be banished from this channel. It shouldn’t be a difficult task given a few decades, but the channel was getting more and more stable. After Lin Yun reached the channel, he realized that the upper limit that this place could bear was beyond level 7 of the Heaven Rank. Normal level-8 Heaven Rank experts could already join the battle, though the strongest couldn’t just yet.
The channel was stabilizing faster than expected. They had to speed up. When the channel could endure the attack of a level-9 Heaven Rank expert, the task would be even more challenging.
Even though the top experts of Noscent were stronger than those in the Plane of the Undead, it would be difficult for them to prevent their opponents from arriving in this place. Hence, the construction of the Hexagonal Array would be even more challenging.
When the channel completely stabilized, experts beyond the Heaven Rank would be able to take action. Then, things would be even trickier, and it would be impossible to cut apart and seal the channel.
Lin Yun had been considering how to speed up throughout the trip.. When he reached Emir’s turf, he was completely shocked.
