Chapter 117: The furious Undying King! An outrageous yet reasonable idea!

Undead World!

The Undead Territory of the Undying King, filled with the aura of corruption!

As one of the three kings of the Undead World, the Undying King, with a massive, terrifying, and oppressive body, sat arrogantly upon a throne built of bones, the soul flames in his eyes dancing with pleasure.

His loyal servant, the Great Lich Lais, had already led an army of five million undead and teleported to the Blue Star.

The plan was about to succeed!

Humans had become digitized and risen with unstoppable momentum in just a hundred years.

And whether it was various BOSSes, or the Undead World, Shadow World, Angel World, etc...

They could not grow stronger by killing monsters like digitized human professionals; they could only cultivate slowly and endure the passage of time.

Cultivate!

Therefore!

Even though the Undying King had lived for tens of thousands of years.

After countless internal struggles with the other two undead kings, he didn't have too many high-end undead under his command.

And in the Indestructible Great Wall stationed in the Undead World, there were basically elite human professionals of the Seventh Rank and above.

Relying on some weak, ordinary undead, he couldn't leverage the advantage of the Undead Calamity growing as it fought...

It wasn't worth the loss...

But he couldn't send his entire undead army out, or take action personally.

After all,

There were two other undead kings watching from behind.

Once he or his undead army started a full-scale war with the forces guarding the Indestructible Great Wall, regardless of whether he won or lost.

He would suffer heavy losses.

At that time, if the two kings attacked, he wouldn't be able to resist.

It could be said he was facing wolves in front and tigers behind.

Beset on all sides!

Trapped between three forces, he couldn't expand his territory or develop his undead influence.

This also led to the fact that despite being the most powerful undead monarch, the number of undead under his command had been decreasing with every battle in recent decades.

Only seven or eight hundred million undead remained...

The other two kings still had about a billion each.

Now—

Only by bypassing the damned professionals at the Indestructible Great Wall and reaching the Blue Star directly.

And transforming the Blue Star into his new undead kingdom.

Could he let the Undead Calamity explode vigorously, and allow himself to surpass and crush the other two kings in one fell swoop!

Thus!

Ten years ago, the Undying King began planning under the suggestion of the Great Lich Lais!

Developing believers on the Blue Star, creating Undead Blood Altars, and preparing to summon his true body and undead legion to descend upon the Blue Star, this special digitized world.

Once successful!

The invasion would be a true calamity!!

The Undead Calamity would not stop once it started, sweeping across the Blue Star with terrifying, crushing momentum, rapidly creating tens of billions of undead.

At that time, why would he need to hold onto this current piece of corrupt territory?

And he wouldn't need to worry about being beset on all sides!

"Gaga-gaga-gaga!"

Thinking of this, the Undying King couldn't help but laugh wildly.

However,

The next second, the Undying King couldn't laugh anymore.

Whoosh!!!

The Undying King was stunned; the ghostly blue flames in his pupils turned into red flames, burning violently, manifesting the Undying King's extreme shock and anger.

He felt that a portion of his divine authority had actually disappeared!

This portion was exactly the God-Given Authority he had bestowed upon the Great Lich Lais...

Moreover, it had disappeared completely!

He couldn't sense or retrieve it!!!

Although the God-Given Authority bestowed upon the Great Lich was only a small part, there was a loss, but it hadn't reached an unacceptable level.

But what was important was...

The disappearance of the God-Given Authority proved that the Great Lich Lais had most likely died.

And it also proved...

His ten-year plan had failed!

"Damn it, who is it, who dares to steal my authority and block my plan!!!"

The Undying King roared in a hoarse, furious voice.

Deafening!

Like bolts of thunder falling, a terrifying aura erupted, making the hundreds of millions of undead in the territory tremble!

As if they were about to be crushed.

At the same time!

Outside the space barrier!

Everyone was fighting a bloody battle!

"Kill, screw them!!!"

Administrator Zhang's eyes were blood-red; he raised his hand and slashed out with a blade, killing a Skeletal Giant BOSS, roaring to boost morale.

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

"Kill!!!"

Other professionals were also resisting desperately, waving the weapons in their hands, their eyes bloodshot.

To wipe them all out, the Great Lich had invested heavy troops here.

There were over a dozen Undead Gates, and the undead monsters pouring out were almost all BOSSes: Skeleton Commanders, Skeleton Knights, Skeletal Giants, Skeletal Dragons...

A dense wave of undead attacked.

Every second, professionals were killed by undead BOSSes, dying completely!

But!

Not a single person ran away!

It wasn't that they couldn't run, but that they didn't want to!

Especially Administrator Zhang and Jiang He.

One was the Administrator of the Southern Province, with Eighth-Rank strength, controlling the resources of a province, and the good things he possessed were no worse than those of a Sub-God powerhouse.

And Jiang He's father was a top-tier Sub-God powerhouse.

Just one step away!

From entering the Mythical level.

Jiang He was his most beloved son; aside from his profession not being great, he was impeccable in other aspects.

He had been given many life-saving items!

They all had the ability to escape, but they still chose to stay and fight!

They were afraid of death too.

But they couldn't run; they couldn't abandon the people of the Southern Province!

Thus!

The moment the Lich appeared, they distributed the escape teleportation scrolls to the professionals present.

Wanting to cover their escape!

But!

After distributing them, no one crushed the scrolls to teleport away.

Not a single one!

Although!

The fall of the Southern Province seemed almost destined!

But because this was the city they lived in, their families were all here.

Even if,

There was a glimmer of hope!

Even if,

They could only drag it out for a few more seconds, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and save one more person.

It would be worth it!

Among the Southern Province professionals who could come to wipe out the Undead Church, which one was a coward?

Hold the line and don't retreat!!!

It was just a pity for Su Liang; his potential was so great, if he survived, he could save the lives of millions of warriors on the front line in the future...

And at this moment...

"Roar——!!!"

An Eighth-Rank Skeletal Dragon was launching a Death Breath attack at Administrator Zhang, when it suddenly paused!

The soul flames in its pupils flickered.

It actually turned and left, flying into the Undead Gate!

Subsequently,

In the surprised eyes of the professionals.

The undead that had been attacking them madly just a moment ago, fighting to the death, all stopped attacking.

They slowly walked toward the Undead Gate and returned to the Undead World!

"What, what, what is this situation?"

"Did they retreat?"

"Did we... did we survive?"

A group of people collapsed to the ground as if drained of strength, gasping for air.

Having escaped with their lives, they looked at the devastated city, but their mood couldn't be happy at all.

"No! Not just on our side, my talent senses that there is no more undead aura in Shujiang City!"

A Seventh-Rank professional suddenly spoke with pleasant surprise.

His talent could precisely sense the surrounding aura.

"Could it be that something happened in the Undead World, and the Undying King summoned the army?"

"Great!"

Suddenly, everyone showed expressions of ecstasy!

A cheer erupted!

The undead retreating also meant that everything could still be salvaged!

The Southern Province would not fall!

"Wait, the Lich aura inside the barrier has also dissipated."

This Seventh-Rank professional was stunned and spoke again.

In the space barrier, the Undead Gate couldn't appear, so how could the Great Lich go back?

But the aura had truly disappeared.

Unless...

"What? Then what about Su Liang and the Amethyst Dragon?"

Jiang He, not caring that he was only a Sixth-Rank professional, grabbed the Seventh-Rank professional's shoulder in a hurry and asked.

"Their auras are both still there!"

The Seventh-Rank professional gulped and said with a trembling voice.

For the aura to disappear, it must mean the Sub-God-level Great Lich Lais was dead!!!

Killed inside!

And inside the barrier...

Aside from a broken metal puppet that couldn't fight, only Su Liang and the Amethyst Thunder Flame Dragon remained!!!

"Could it be Su Liang's doing?"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat; in their minds, an idea they all felt was outrageous popped up.
