Chapter 1400: Four Holy Statues

Nobody could cast spells constantly, not even Lin Yun, who boasted a Natural Demiplane. The consumption of magic power was negligible, but the exhaustion of soul power could not be neglected.

Lin Yun hid in the holy light and waited patiently. He wouldn’t go out easily until the skeleton king who held the Heart of Plague showed up.

Soon, level-40 and stronger undead creatures arrived. The first to come was a level-42 bone dragon. When it was 50 kilometers away from Prome, the holy light around it was suddenly gathered into a sword that was 100 meters long, piercing through its head and body. Dazzling light exploded from inside the bone dragon. Its body that was as hard as metal was purged into ashes and sprayed from the sky.

All the undead creatures that were stronger than level 40 were purged by Prome when they were 50 kilometers away. They couldn’t even get any closer, much less disrupt Prome’s spell casting.

As more and more undead creatures down below were purged, a thick layer of black and gray dust mixed with ragged bone pieces was left on the ground. The area within the radius of 100 kilometers had turned into a place of desolation.

Outside the range of holy light, even more undead creatures were entering the range of holy light. Prome turned into a small sun, and pressed deeper into the Mesomiya Plain, purging undead creatures with holy light.

In only a dozen minutes, all the undead creatures within the radius of 300 kilometers were purged. So many undead creatures had been purged that it was impossible to count their number. Even Lin Yun, who had been following Prome, had lost track of it.

As Prome proceeded, flying undead creatures were coming at him like daunting black clouds too. All of them regarded their companions ahead of themselves as shields to resist the holy light.

Those flying undead creatures were much faster than those which charged on their feet on the ground. The surface of the black clouds made of them was constantly purged, but their interior was safe from the holy light. A black cloud that was a dozen kilometers in diameter was only reduced by a third when it approached 50 kilometers away from Prome. Even more undead creatures were coming close to Prome with their population.

Prome wore a pious expression. He simply emanated holy light in peace. When the black cloud approached 30 kilometers from Prome, it was purged much faster, and fell from the sky like a gray rain of dust as burnt remains of bones and skeletons dropped down.

When they were 20 kilometers away, the undead creatures were purged even faster. The skinny wyverns were instantly burnt into ashes the moment the holy light hit them. Their strategy was not working at all.

The rain of dust was falling and eclipsed the sky like a curtain. Only the holy light could penetrate the rain of dust, and purge more undead creatures.

Lin Yun was quite amazed, and he had every reason to be. A lot of mages had grasped the law of holy light. Even though they were barely capable of fighting until the Heaven Rank, they were always a bane of the undead creatures.

Holy light mages could just release holy light and purge undead creatures. They could kill undead creatures with healing spells too. Every holy light mage could cause damage to undead creatures. That was why they were so strong against undead creatures.

They had advantages as well as disadvantages. In battles against other mages, holy light mages didn’t have many advantages, but they had great healing methods. They wouldn’t die as long as they weren’t killed by one attack.

The closer the undead creatures were to Prome, the more powerful the holy light he released would be, and the more undead creatures would be eliminated. Considering the power it had manifested, no undead creatures below level 40 could remain alive within 10 kilometers of him.

When undead creatures above level 40 arrived, Prome would simply purge them with a random spell. Unless the skeleton king who held the Heart of Plague appeared, no undead creatures could stop him.

Prome pressed onward. In the sky, he looked like a small sun that was flying forward rapidly. All undead creatures on the way were purged.

Half an hour later, an empty area that was 100 kilometers wide and 500 kilometers long appeared in the Mesomiya Plain. All the undead creatures within the area were burnt into ashes.

At this moment, another black cloud that covered more than 30 square kilometers appeared in the sky. In the center of the black cloud, the skeleton king who held the Heart of Plague was riding an undead dragon, followed by countless other undead dragons, skeleton dragons, skeleton wyverns, and bizarre-looking undead creatures which couldn’t be identified at all.

All the flying undead creatures surrounded the skeleton king in the center. In the distance, they looked like an enormous black viper that craned its head and approached.

Prome raised his staff, and solemnly chanted hymns in a musical tone. The holy light became even more dazzling. There seemed to be an opening in the high sky, from which a pillar of light fell into the army of undead creatures that looked like a viper.

Instantly, a huge opening was made in the head of the viper because of the purging. The pillar of light continued shining brilliantly inside the viper. Countless undead creatures were purged and turned into ashes.

When the pillar of light reached the skeleton king, the latter raised his scepter, and the green rotten heart that was glittering on the top of the scepter beat faster, emitting light that was as sticky as venom. The light spread out and turned into a green mist that blocked Prome’s holy light rather easily.

The holy light and the power of plague collided, but neither could defeat the other. All of a sudden, the sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of gigantic hands again, and another four pillars of light fell.

The pillars of light dimmed. In the end, four giants whose faces were obscure emerged inside those pillars.

One of them was wearing heavy armor, and holding a giant sword that penetrated the ground. A horrifying aura spread out from the giant, and countless undead creatures were burnt into ashes.

One of them wore a white robe and a thorny crow, and held a staff in one hand.

One of them wore a robe that was full of runes. There was also a huge book in his hand.

The last one was praying with his head lowered and his arms crossed in front of his chest.

After the four glittering giants that were 100 meters tall appeared, they began to swallow all the holy light around, and eventually turned into four glowing statues.

Lin Yun was quite amazed, but he knew what to do. The moment the four statues appeared, Lin Yun flew out of Prome’s holy light, and emerged in front of the skeleton king.

The skeleton king seemed to have realized that the four giants were particularly unpleasant. He waved the scepter, making the Heart of Plague beat even faster. A tremendous amount of green light—and even a drop of green blood—erupted from the Heart of Plague. The green blood, contaminated by the light, turned into the illusion of a gigantic skull that flew towards the pillars of holy light.

The skull became bigger and bigger, until it was thousands of meters tall. There even seemed to be a green soul fire that was burning inside the skull.

The skull opened its mouth, and swallowed one of the thick pillars. The power of holy light didn’t seem to work anymore. It was swallowed by the skull.

Without the pressure of the pillars of holy light, the skeleton king was ready to escape the area that made him feel uncomfortable.

Exactly at this moment, many Four Element Bombs were thrown at him from all directions. Their intense explosions turned the area within 10 kilometers into a land of destruction.

Lin Yun held the Book of Death in his left hand and the Draconic Staff in his right hand. He floated in midair, and stared at the space that was dominated by destructive power.

It was impossible to kill the skeleton king with that sort of attack. However, casting 100 spells at the same time was enough to stop the skeleton king from running away.

Three seconds later, the splendid hymn echoed again, as if countless people were singing again. The most sacred song echoed. All the four statues of giants turned around, and looked at the center.

Prome floated in midair, and slit his own wrist. His bright gold blood dropped from the sky. His face became paler than before with each drop of blood that spilled out. He seemed to be heavily wounded in only three seconds.

However, the bright gold blood emanated the most horrifying power of holy light. The four statues glowed at the same time, establishing a curtain of holy light between them. With them as the corners, the curtains formed a gigantic cage that was 30 kilometers long and wide.

The cage, which was three kilometers high and 30 kilometers long and wide, was completely sealed by holy light. Inside the cage, the power of holy light was accumulating too. The space inside seemed to be glowing.

Inside the cage, the skeleton king flew out of the destructive space made of Four Element Bombs unscathed. Even the ragged cloak behind his back looked exactly the same as before.

As if he didn’t feel comfortable with the cage that was filled with the power of holy light, the skeleton king charged at one of the curtains with the remaining undead creatures.

The swarm of undead creatures dropped as ashes upon hitting the seemingly thin curtain of holy light. The result was the same no matter how many of them were flying. The curtain didn’t even ripple under the charge of so many flying undead creatures.

When the skeleton king waved Page’s scepter, and launched a green streak of light, the curtain finally rippled, but the ripple was like when a pebble was thrown into a peaceful lake. No huge waves were caused at all.

Countless undead creatures were purged into ashes after hitting the curtain of light.

The skeleton king waved his scepter three times in a row, but was still unable to break the curtain of light. Also, another Four Element Bomb exploded right behind his back, and destroyed all the undead creatures within a radius of three kilometers. The one blast had razed the area to the ground, and torn all the undead creatures within a radius of seven kilometers into pieces.

The skeleton king turned around, and dropped the idea of tearing apart the curtain. Prome floated outside the curtain, and continued singing the spells to sustain the cage, allowing the power of holy light to penetrate without being blocked.

The power of death in the cage was ebbing quickly. A lot of undead creatures were purged. There were fewer and fewer undead creatures. Without them, the power of death plummeted even faster.

Thanks to the massive weakening, Lin Yun was able to cleanse undead creatures even faster. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel both appeared. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras turned into a gate dozens of meters tall, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel turned into a giant glamorous wheel where countless law runes were spinning.

When the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel were combined, a storm of fundamental elements emerged…

The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel were nowhere to be seen only three seconds later. They were already covered in the horrifying storm of elements. The elements within eight kilometers had been completely disrupted, and become purely destructive. As time went by, the range of the elemental storm was further increasing.

Apart from the skeleton king, any undead creature that fell into the elemental storm was dissected immediately. Then, their body pieces were further torn apart and ground into smaller ones until they were completely invisible.

A colorful rune appeared on Lin Yun’s forehead. His limbs were enshrouded in the brilliance of earth, fire, water, and wind, respectively. He wasn’t hurt by the elemental storm at all. Instead, the destructive elements gathered around him as if he were their king, providing natural defense for him.

When any undead creatures approached, the elemental storm would tear them into shreds crazily. Even the skeleton king’s attacks were neutralized by the elemental storm.

Lin Yun stood in the center of the storm. The Book of Death on his left hand glimmered, and the power of the Sage Chapter was invoked. The essence of the undead that dropped from the undead creatures killed by the elemental storm was torn apart too, but it was still thrown into the Sage Chapter by the storm.

That was the essence of the undead that was not purged. The undead creatures that were purged by holy light would leave normal bones without any essence of the undead. Only those torn apart by the elemental storm would drop it.

After swallowing an enormous amount of essence of the undead, the Sage Chapter gradually had another spot for a level-7 spell that it could copy.

Lin Yun was not in a rush to fight the skeleton king. He eliminated the remaining undead creatures first. In the cage that was 30 kilometers long and wide, there were 10,000,000 undead creatures left, even though the same number of them had been killed.

They were all pure undead creatures from the Plane of the Undead. The odds of them dropping the essence of the undead were quite high. In fact, the stronger an undead creature was, the more likely it would drop the essence of the undead. The Heaven Rank undead creatures would surely drop it.

The essence of the undead wasn’t truly useful for undead creatures, at least not in the Plane of the Undead that the power of death permeated. In war, they only cared about soul fires. If any essence of the undead dropped, they would simply leave it there, and let it give birth to new undead creatures.

There were so many undead creatures here. If they weren’t removed, they would be the best supplies for the skeleton king, who could just kill them to make up for the power of death he consumed. If he killed several hundred thousand undead creatures, and swallowed their soul fires, his consumed power would soon be replenished.

Also, those undead creatures were perfect shields and distractions at critical moments. It was impossible to focus on fighting the skeleton king, who held Page’s scepter, without removing them first.

The power of holy light gathered inside the cage, and stopped gathering when it reached a certain degree. It could easily purge undead creatures below level 30, and had to spend a lot of time purging those between level 30 and level 40. As for the undead creatures above level 40, it could only weaken them.

But that was already enough. It gave Lin Yun an opportunity to raise an elemental storm with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel as the Elemental Spirit King’s embodiment. The elemental storm that covered a dozen square kilometers could resist the tide of undead creatures, and even tear them into shreds bit by bit.
