Chapter 168 Styx Ferryman! The Awakened One-Void
How many souls are there in the kingdom of gods?
Xiao En doesn’t know.
If the Weird Kingdom were not restricted by the twisted laws and could not advance to the next step without seizing the extraordinary essence of the past, I am afraid that he would have already reached the level of a high-level legend. No wonder Eamon has always said that on the battlefield of the bloody battle in the abyss, as long as the soul of an ordinary person survives, it is possible to be promoted to a high-level demon in a bloody battle. Xiao En didn't know how much soul power he had swallowed. Those low-level undead creatures might only have one or two points of soul energy, but there were too many to hold them.
Xiao En didn’t know how many he had killed, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. Vast numbers of bones and skeletons poured out from the catacombs. He wielded the flaming giant sword and slashed dozens of undead with one strike. . Most of the souls of these undead creatures were dissipated in the evolving underworld, but some were plundered by the talent of the Son of Slaughter and turned into the soul energy possessed by Xiao En himself.
The fighting lasted most of the night.
Xiao En can be sure that he is absolutely maxed out. Level 5 Arcanist/Level 5 Psychic Scholar/Level 10 Arcanist, and even the power of devoured souls has exceeded the upper limit, in a strange way. was stored. At least tens of millions of souls were wiped out in this battle. Everywhere they looked, the land was devastated. Countless bones were scattered in the soil. Until the energy of the Bone Burial Ground was exhausted, there was no longer any undead soul. stand up.
The Balor Fire Lord transformed by Xiao En wiped the blood on his face. It was his blood, the devil's blood, hot and scalding. Under his butt was the corpse of a bone dragon, ferocious The dragon's head was directly used as a cushion for him, and next to it was a collapsed soul summoning tower. The obsidian-like stone pillars were tilted. He leaned on the soul summoning tower and panted slightly.
——Xiao En [Barlow Fire Lord Form] (seriously injured and on the verge of death).
This time, he really knew what 'ants kill an elephant'. With the powerful protective ability of the demon lord, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. It would be better to have a legendary transcendent in another way. If anyone comes here, they may have been completely consumed to death here.
hiss!
Xiao En stretched out his arm and pulled out the bone crossbow arrows on the demon's wings. They were bone crossbows controlled by the Corpse Witch. He was hit by more than ten arrows. If the demon lord hadn't been born with the ability to regenerate, He may not be able to continue flying. Xiao En's tough skin is covered with large and small wounds. Some are cut by the skeleton guards, some are corrosive damage caused by necromancy spells, and some are dead skin after absorbing negative energy. There are many large and small wounds. There are thousands of them, ranging from shallow ones that only leave a scratch on the skin to deep ones that can directly penetrate the demon's skin and leave corrosive scars directly on the body.
"There should be no one who can compete with the undead in the human sea tactic, not even demons."
Xiao En conservatively estimated that he killed at least 300,000 undead. This scene was extremely brutal. To the end of the fight, the original magic power in his body was almost exhausted, and in the end he could only transform into a berserker and directly tear down these bones with hand-to-hand combat.
The injuries were accumulated bit by bit. Xiao En lacked enough means to restore his life, so he was forced to be seriously injured and on the verge of death bit by bit by these undead.
"Fortunately, the teacher took away the Tomb King with a wave of big moves."
If the Tomb King was still there, this war would definitely be more difficult. There would be absolutely no winner in one day. In the Kingdom of God, Some wars may last for decades, until the opponent's wealth is completely exhausted.
The gods are too powerful.
It is so difficult to attack a kingdom of death demigods. After Ms. Hecate beheaded the Tomb King, Xiao En could not imagine how brutal the battle between the orthodox gods would be. In the end, no one can do anything to anyone.
This is also true. A powerful god will not easily attack a kingdom of weak gods.
"The Tomb King's kingdom has at least 10 million troops."
Xiao En was only responsible for the southern front of the battlefield of the Kingdom of God. He advanced all the way and pushed down the soul summoning towers along the way, and finally captured a In the Bone Burial Ground, after killing more than a dozen skull dragons, many dragon remains were found in the Lich's lair. They should have been dug out from the dragon's tomb, and some were almost fossils. Soul-calling towers are actually low-end versions of wizard towers. It is not easy to capture them, and Xiao En was also seriously injured. As for the loot obtained, they are basically necromancy spell materials, and there are many stacked soul crystals. stone.
The Tomb King has been running the Kingdom of God for hundreds of years. There are so many soul-calling towers. According to one hundred souls of the dead a day, there are more than 36,000 souls a year. Over the past few hundred years, there have been tens of millions. .
In fact, it may be more, because the soul will dissipate and merge into the realm of God. This old thing must ingest at least hundreds of thousands of souls a year.
The main force in this battle is Ms. Hecate’s army of the Kingdom of God. They also seem to have a little power of the law of death, because Xiao En saw the petitioners transforming directly during the killing, and countless gray The power of Meng Meng's soul gathered together, and the wings of the angel of death formed behind him. After this battle, Ms. Hecate was also seriously injured, her family fortune that had been built for hundreds of years was completely wiped out, and most of the petitioners were transformed into petitioners in the underworld.
Xiao En was really full this time, even a little stuffed.
Such a battle in the kingdom of God is no less intense than a bloody battle in the abyss. Because of the convergence of the laws of death, the last surviving creatures have absorbed part of their soul energy. There is no need for Xiao En to take care of the follow-up work of Hades' transformation. Since Ms. Hecate dares to give it a try, she must be fully prepared.
But Sean needs to clean up the mess in Reality.
Before leaving these two kingdoms of gods that were gradually merging, Xiao En saw countless souls flowing along the River Styx. They were all immersed in the water of the River Styx, and the corrosive river water eroded them. Their bodies had the memories of their previous lives washed away bit by bit, and in the end they could only see blank-faced heads floating on the water in the river. Most of their bodies sank into the water, and some souls even drowned directly in it. In the end, Become a water ghost wandering in the River Styx.
“The River Styx is moving!”
Xiao En seemed to sense something. He saw an angel of death falling from the sky. His beautiful face had a vague impression, as if he was one of the death banshees in the maze library.
The death banshee nodded slightly towards Xiao En, and then she put away her gray angel wings. In the floating gray mist, there was a strange bone ferry made of countless skeleton souls. The boat emerged, and the death banshee entered the water of the Styx barefoot, and countless filthy corrosive energies began to erode her body.
She remained silent, enduring the burning and pain of her soul, forgetting the memories of her previous life bit by bit, and finally she pushed the Styx ferry made of countless bones into the wide river. When she climbed up from the River Styx, her figure was already enveloped in a gray layer of negative energy field. The mottled and faded angel wings melted away little by little, turning into filthy sludge that flowed onto the deck. When she reached out to hold the ferry boat, The moment she took the helm, her soul merged with the Styx ferry.
——The Styx Ferryman.
A death angel died, and a new Styx Ferryman appeared in this country.
"Someone must make a sacrifice."
Xiao En thought of the teacher's words, and he silently lowered his head and paid tribute to the banshee who tied his soul to the River Styx.
Her soul has been washed away by the River Styx, and there is not much memory left of her past life, so she no longer responds.
This death banshee held up the Styx River ferry, with a black robe condensed with gray mist appearing on her body. Only a pair of extremely pale palms were exposed. The entire face was hidden in the shadow, and the exposed skin was corroded by the Styx. Traces of it, a pair of eyes burning with the faint soul fire stared into the distance, silently salvaging those mortal souls drifting in the filthy river water.
Mortal souls were picked up one by one as if they were ghosts and piled up in the corner of the Styx ferry.
She controlled the Styx ferry boat all the way down the river. The ferry boat made of white bones flew over the waterfall and entered the Lake of Oblivion. Finally, the newly promoted Styx ferryman looked back and forgot about the distance and disappeared somewhere. In the teleportation whirlpool opened by the River Styx.
A few minutes later, another Styx ferry surfaced. The Styx ferryman stood silent on the deck, his peeled angel wings showing mottled blood, and the piles of souls weighed down the cabin. Full.
This batch of Styx ferrymen were almost all automatically transformed by promoted Death Angels.
Behind them were at least high-level transcendent beings, and even legendary beings. After death, they were transformed into petitioners of the Kingdom of God, and now they have become ferrymen of the Styx. They will travel throughout the world. The lower plane transports countless souls to and from the kingdom of death.
“There are not many of the teacher’s otherworldly gods left.”
Lady Hecate has almost single-handedly supported the operation of the entire River Styx, which means that almost all of the followers she has accumulated over hundreds of years have become ferrymen of the River Styx.
No one knows what Ms. Hecate will do next, but even if she falls to the status of a demigod, no one dares to underestimate her existence.
In the mist floating on the River Styx.
Xiao En's figure suddenly stopped, and he saw a familiar figure standing next to the waterfall, smiling at him, and then pushing a small Styx ferry into oblivion of lake.
This is obviously not an alien angel or an angel of death. He is just the soul of an ordinary transcendent.
——Hank Brende.
Xiao En saw his face clearly, that iconic beard. He did not expect to meet his old friend here.
Unlike other Styx ferrymen, Hank Brendel’s small Styx ferry was lit with a weak light, like a ray of light in the darkness. It lit up the turbid Styx. His strength is too weak. Unlike those powerful angels of death, he can only ferry souls near the Lake of Oblivion.
As the filthy Styx water soaked into his body, before the memory of his past life was washed away, Hank Brendel raised his head, laughed and waved to Xiao En, as if he was In the farewell, the eye-catching beard was covered bit by bit by the black cloak.
He did not fall into the spirit world, slowly lose himself, and become an empty soul shell.
Lady Hecate's kingdom took him in.
In the end, Hank Brende drove a small Styx ferry and disappeared near the waterfall of the Lake of Forgotten. He had become a part of the Styx, a tributary of the Styx. Ferryman. Lady Hecate is gentler than Sean expected.
As the Angel of Death and the otherworldly gods transformed into ferrymen on the main road of the River Styx, it was obvious that some weaker souls transformed into ferrymen on the tributaries of the River Styx. Among those people Some figures seemed familiar to Xiao En. They seemed to be night watchmen who had died in Dorne City.
Lady Hecate never forgot them, nor their exploits.
The path to death is finally complete!
Shawn smiled.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief. The demon lord's incarnation dispersed and he became a human again. After waving his hand to open the portal to the real world, Xiao En entered without looking back. Among them.
With Lady Hecate here, he doesn’t have to worry about the underworld.
………………
The entire ring city was in ruins.
Everywhere Xiao En looked, there were corpses and bones with broken limbs and arms everywhere. The population of Huancheng in the past should have been about 900,000, and the number of survivors now may only be a few hundred thousand. Casualties were close to eighty percent.
The ground is full of traces of death pollution, negative energy fields are everywhere, desecrations spread along the streets, and there is a hint of plague in the floating mist of death.
Ghoul corpses can be seen everywhere on the corners of the main street.
Obviously, after Xiao En teleported into the Kingdom of God, the battle around the city did not end. The towering black spire has been broken into two sections. The extraordinary beings from Abyss City have temporarily taken over the defense of the entire city. Ordinary people can no longer survive here. A terrible plague will break out here at any time. In the natural path, All mortals must be removed before the arrival of the Archdruid.
"The demiplane can no longer be accommodated!" The whisper of Sealed Artifact No. 1, the Mechanical Brain, sounded.
It directly communicated with Xiao En's mind and said: "You'd better use the creation technique to further expand the demiplane as soon as possible."
Xiao En nodded slightly and said: "I understand."
"Temporarily place them in the demiplane, and they will not be able to return here until the Archdruids have cleaned up the battlefield."
Must rely on the Druid's Holy Residence Ceremony to clean up Pollution throughout the city.
The Natural Path seems to be in trouble as well. The Archdruid was not seen in this battle, but they should be able to help with the finishing work.
The figure of a high-level necromancer appeared. He landed in front of Xiao En, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Sir Xiao En. The corpses will be recovered and disposed of by us."
"Those undead creatures We will incinerate the remains together.”
These bodies are resources.
It may be a bit cruel, but Xiao En knows that the way of death has always been like this.
He nodded lightly and said: "I understand."
If these hundreds of thousands of mortal corpses are not dealt with, a plague will break out, or even continue to become undead. If those on the path of death are to be taken away, he will not Be surprised. Before he has enough voice, Sean must follow the rules of Death's Path.
Under the ruins of the black spire, Xiao En saw an elegant bald man. He looked at everything nearby with pity and held a blue pottery pot with a broken corner in his hand.
——The Pot of Greed [Artifact] [Soul-Suppressing]? !
The damaged corner is sealed with some mysterious mantra, and the silver-white runes wrap around the body of the pot like a chain.
"Master Xu." Xiao En bowed his head slightly and greeted respectfully.
Obviously, this master is the main force in the battle around the city, and he even needs to scare other demigods of death.
Master Xu put his hands together as a gesture, and threw the Pot of Greed in his hand directly to Xiao En in front of him. There was no trace of greed in his eyes. To him, this artifact seemed to be just a gadget. .
I saw his voice gentle: "You should keep this thing."
"Use it carefully, don't indulge in it."
As if he remembered something, a strange secret mark appeared in his palm, which contained countless rune inscriptions. This was the rune matrix of the mage's path. No matter how strong a monk was, he could not master it.
Master Xu calmly said: "This is what a close friend of mine left to me."
"It seems to be a place that can connect a gap in time and space."
"You too Take it.”
Since coming to the weird country, he has not met any orthodox arcanist. Xiao En is probably the only one, but he still has the power of the spiritual path.
Xiao En reached out to catch it. In an instant, he felt that the arcanist's law was the most orthodox arcanist's inheritance.
——Spell Matrix!
This is a rune inscription that can only be made by the top Grand Arcanists. It combines many spells to form a huge matrix network, which starts instantly after activation.
Xiao En looked a little hesitant, lowered his head and said: "Master's gift is too valuable."
Master Xu smiled and shook his head: "You need these more than me."
"Once."
"My hometown is just like yours. The land is devastated and ancient evil things are rampant. It was my best friend who helped us save everything."
This one. The master's eyes were compassionate and compassionate, looking at everything in front of him, as if he felt the same thing.
He waved his hand and disappeared into the morning mist.
Xiao En stood there, watching the figure of the Eastern demigod go away. He seemed to be different from other souls from other worlds. He did not come here for the power of becoming a god. .
With such an existence, becoming a god seems to be a piece of cake.
Awakening is enlightenment.
This master is most likely a transcendental enlightened person on the monk path. According to the earth, an awakened person is a person who has reached enlightenment. The most famous awakened person is Sakyamuni.
