Chapter 489: The Secret of the Blood Pool is Exposed

After the old Deep One High Priest finished speaking a few words, its body weathered away.

Its Soul flowed into the Sacrificial Scepter, and the new High Priest took the Scepter directly.

"The old High Priest has already returned its Soul to the embrace of His Majesty Cthulhu."

"Our mission now is to thoroughly occupy this plane and transform the people here into our slaves."

The Deep One High Priest brandished the Scepter in its hand and said to the many Deep Ones.

"We must swear to defend the glory of His Majesty Cthulhu to the death."

The Deep Ones were as if injected with stimulants, continuously raising the blades in their hands high.

"Let us resolve the crisis before us first."

"As long as the Abyss Gate remains open, a sliver of His Majesty Cthulhu's Soul attached to the Abyss Gate can summon a massive army of Deep Ones."

"Now let me witness it; charge, Deep One army."

The Deep Ones left the Deep Sea City one after another and swam in the direction of the Leviathan Whale.

"I did not expect there to be a Leviathan Whale here."

"If we can cause it to undergo aberration, we can use it as our deep-sea warship."

"Deep One warriors, charge; burrow into the body of the Leviathan Whale and find where the Leviathan Whale's Soul resides."

Only by controlling the Leviathan Whale's Soul can one subdue it.

A glimmer of cold light flashed in the eyes of the Deep One High Priest.

The faith power of this plane is extremely high; if this plane can be seized, His Majesty Cthulhu may be able to elevate His divine power to the level of an Ultimate God.

When that time comes, He will become the existence that is the God of All Gods.

On the screen of Gonggong, dense red dots suddenly appeared.

"Captain, a large number of Deep Ones have been detected approaching the warship Gonggong."

"Should we take the initiative to attack?"

The pilot asked the Captain.

Gonggong is the highest technology of Yan Country, and it is equipped with many weapons.

"Wait, if we attack the Deep Ones, will it land on the Leviathan Whale?"

"Will we anger the Leviathan Whale then?"

Someone immediately raised a dissenting opinion.

"That is a valid point."

"Let us observe for now."

"Ms. Zhang Tian'an, do you have a way to deal with the Deep Ones?"

Ye Shuang pinned his hopes on Zhang Tian'an.

"I do, but this is my trump card; it must be saved for the very end."

A resolute expression appeared on Zhang Tian'an's face, and seeing Zhang Tian'an so insistent, Ye Shuang could not say anything.

He could only have the pilot turn off the searchlights of Gonggong, and the surroundings plunged into darkness.

Only the red dots displayed on the large screen represented the number of Deep Ones.

"Something is wrong."

Zhang Tian'an suddenly shook her head.

"This number is not right!!!"

"Ye Bai told me that a batch of Deep Ones had already been wiped out; the number of Deep Ones that escaped should not be this high."

"If my guess is correct, the Deep Ones must have opened the Abyss Gate."

"This intelligence must be reported immediately."

Zhang Tian'an's complexion became somewhat terrified.

Opening the Abyss Gate means that Cthulhu can continuously send out various types of troops.

This is not good news for Yan Country.

The intelligence was reported upward, and Zhang Tian'an's hands were clenched tightly; she would do this every time she felt anxious and uneasy.

Her hands were trembling slightly.

She had a premonition that she might have to use her talent to potentially allow everyone to escape this disaster.

If she uses her talent, she might fall into a deep sleep again, and it is unknown when she will be able to wake up.

At this time, Yun Luo had already been found by the necromancer.

The Wuqu Peacock Fan emerged, guarding Yun Luo.

"What an exquisite little girl."

"Your luck is very strong."

"However, you have started to have bad luck now, because you have met me."

The necromancer stood high in the air, and the skull crafted from Refined Gold flickered with cyan-blue Soul Fire.

His Bone Staff was crafted from Mithril, and upon it were the skulls of a dwarf, an elf, a human, a giant, and a dragon, respectively.

Soul Fire flickered within every skull.

"Speaking of which, I have not entered a combat state for a long time."

"I have also not eaten human delicacies for a long time."

"That is why I want to transform into a human."

"Your body can be considered a decent vessel."

"If I can devour your Soul and craft your body into a puppet, perhaps I can successfully reincarnate."

The Necromancer was talking to himself; he seemed to be recalling something.

"Before I was transformed into an undead, I was a positive and upward-striving person."

"I was also a gourmet, and I was keen on going to various places to appreciate fine food."

"I died in an assassination; those people wanted to split my brain into countless pieces to study my talent."

"Filled with hatred and anger, my Soul attached itself to a white bone and was resurrected, becoming a low-rank skeleton soldier."

"Because my intelligence is not low, I grew step by step to this level."

"I am already an eighth-rank Necromancer now; once I break through to become Ninth Rank, I will have the chance to ignite the divine fire."

"By that time, I will become a supreme existence."

The Necromancer gripped his hands tightly, revealing a very smug expression.

"Since that is the case, then why do you want to reincarnate?"

"I remember that after igniting the divine fire, one can be reborn from death."

"To become a high and lofty god, does one need to worry about so much?"

Yun Luo asked, puzzled.

The Necromancer revealed an expression of 'you don't understand', and he quickly descended from high in the sky.

It was just that a small interlude occurred the moment he landed.

His leg bone, crafted from Mithril, broke suddenly for some unknown reason.

As a result, the Necromancer landed on the ground in a sliding kneel.

His skull, crafted from Refined Gold, knocked heavily against the ground, emitting a 'thud' sound.

At this moment, the Necromancer just wanted a cellar to bury himself in.

He felt that both his inner and outer dignity were gone.

He had truly lost face.

"Damn it, it's all your luck's fault for making me lose such face."

"I will take full revenge."

"Come out, Blood-colored Skeleton General, seize her, devour her flesh and blood, and replace her!"

The Necromancer now only wanted to cruelly torture Yun Luo to regain his face.

He ordered the Skeleton General to burrow into Yun Luo's body and completely replace her.

The Wuqu Peacock Fan suddenly scattered, forming high-speed rotating blades that hovered around Yun Luo.

Sounds of breaking through the air came from the sky.

The Wuqu Peacock Fan decomposed into three thousand cyan-blue blades.

Seeing these blades fly out, they pierced toward the Blood-colored Skeleton General.

Bang, bang, bang—the heads of the Blood-colored Skeleton Generals shattered one after another like light bulbs.

Their bodies also fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"It's useless, it's useless; I am an art expert at manipulating the undead."

"My power can restore the Blood-colored Skeleton General."

The Necromancer took a Blood Pool out from his bosom.

Seeing him throw the Blood Pool onto the ground, the Blood Pool expanded rapidly after landing.

Rushing blood water overflowed from the Blood Pool and landed among the shattered fragments.

Their bodies were glued back together by the blood water.

"Blood-colored Skeleton General, go."

The Necromancer waved his staff again, and at the same time, one tall blood horse after another leaped out from the Blood Pool.

These Blood-colored Skeleton Generals each held a long spear and stabbed fiercely toward the direction where Yun Luo was.

Just as it approached Yun Luo, one of the blood horses' left and right feet got tangled, and it immediately tripped to the ground.

Countless blood horses and Blood-colored Skeleton Generals collided together, and the scene became incomparably chaotic.

"It seems that luck is still on your side."

"However, according to my research, luck is constant."

"No matter how much you consume, it won't replenish too much for you for the time being."

"As long as I consume your luck time and time again, letting your luck decline to the extreme."

"I will have a way to approach your body and take away your physical form."

"Hehehe, little sister, don't blame this world; if you want to blame someone, blame yourself."

"Who told you to be so deeply favored by Blue Star, giving you so much luck."

After hearing the Necromancer's words, Yun Luo did not say anything, but instead summoned the Golden Lion Shield.

After the Golden Lion Shield evolved, it now looked more like the Leo Sacred Cloth.

A majestic armored lion appeared, and it guarded Yun Luo's safety alongside the Wuqu Peacock Fan.

"Another defensive Pet Beast; just how many Pet Beasts do you have on you?"

The Necromancer appeared quite impatient; if he didn't take this opportunity to kill Yun Luo.

Once Yun Luo was protected by others, it would become quite difficult to deal with her.

"Hoo, this time, no matter what, I must turn her into my puppet."

"Blue Star's luck will continuously pour into her body, and I can use the luck to train."

"Igniting the divine fire is not my end point!"

A gratified smile appeared on the Necromancer's face.

Just at this moment, the Water Qilin Beast tracked the scent Yun Luo had left behind and pursued them.

"Necromancer, what kind of skill is it to bully my martial uncle?"

"If you have the ability, come at me."

The massive Dahui gripped a giant axe and slashed over from the side.

The axe was wreathed in crackling electricity; if the Necromancer were struck by the current, they might be decapitated instantly.

However, the Necromancer's combat experience was terrifyingly high.

It tapped the Scepter lightly, and its body vanished from the spot instantly.

The Thunder Axe swept across the place where the Necromancer had just been standing, leaving behind a massive rift.

"Necromancer!"

Ye Bai was somewhat irritated.

The Necromancer's figure appeared in another location.

"What a pity; I originally intended to refine your little martial uncle into a corpse puppet while the three of you were separated."

"Now, I shall convert all three of you into the undead."

The Necromancer held its staff high, and countless amounts of energy poured into it.

Not long after, a rustling sound emerged from the ground.

Countless Blood Skeleton Generals were wrapped in surging blood and dragged into the Blood Pool.

"Come forth, I shall let you witness what a Blood-colored Skeleton King is!"

An undead appeared, wearing blood-colored bone armor over its entire body, gripping a Dragon Scale Axe, and carrying a longbow crafted from dragon tendons on its back.

Yet, blood-red threads were emerging bit by bit from the armor on its body.

【Name: Blood-colored Skeleton King】

【Gender: Agender】

【Attribute: Ghost (Undead)】

【Trait: Blood Regeneration: As long as it possesses sufficient blood, it can repair its damaged body.】

【Level: Seven-Tier Peak】

"Oh my god, they actually brought out a Blood-colored Skeleton King."

"But fortunately, this guy is only at Seven-Tier Peak."

After the Necromancer heard Ye Bai's words, it was suddenly amused.

"Seven-Tier Peak?"

"I tell you, the king of the blood-colored skeletons has more tricks than just this."

"Standing here, it can command a massive Blood Skeleton Army."

Rustling sounds emanated from the Blood Pool.

A large number of Blood Skeleton Generals crawled out from the Blood Pool.

Like a tidal wave, they quickly surrounded the three of them.

"Are you trying to use human-sea tactics?"

Ye Bai laughed coldly.

"Since that is the case, I won't be polite either."

"Spirit of the Blood Flood Dragon, go forth and devour that Blood Pool."

The Blood Pool was launched by Ye Bai.

Upon seeing the Blood Pool that had produced a spirit, if the Necromancer had eyes, they would likely have popped right out of their sockets.

"My heavens, a Blood Pool."

The Necromancer suddenly realized, I understand, I finally understand.

"So you are the one who snatched the inheritance of the Blood Saint Son; it was you who killed the Blood Saint Son."

"You almost deceived everyone; if I hadn't deployed the Blood Pool this time and summoned so many Blood Skeleton Generals, I would still be kept in the dark."

"If my Blood Pool can devour your Blood Pool, its origin will be completely replenished, and I won't need to rely on the power of the Deep One to complete my reincarnation."

"It seems you are my lucky star after all."

"This time, no matter what, I must keep you here."

"I want to take the complete inheritance of the Blood Saint Son that you carry."

The Blood Pools were pitted against each other.

Ye Bai's Blood Pool was more senior and possessed a great deal of origin.

The Blood Pool refined by the Necromancer was relatively newer, but it contained a massive amount of blood-colored skeleton soldiers and Blood Skeleton Generals.

The two reached a stalemate.

"Haha, I must thank you."

"For delivering both the complete Blood Pool and the inheritance of the Blood Saint Son into my hands."

"If I succeed in breaking through, then Blood Saint Son, Spirit Saint Son, or Ability Saint Son—none of them will be a match for me."

"Once I ignite my divine fire, I will have sufficient strength to contend with the Star Sage."

"That stinking woman has been targeting me and suppressing me all along."

"I heard she is also your senior martial uncle."

"If you put it that way, that young girl is your fellow sect member, so she is the Star Sage's junior martial sister, right?"
