Chapter 554: The Pool of the River Styx
Stepping into the land shrouded in darkness, Xiwei immediately felt that his life was cut off, everywhere was withered and withered, even the most vigorous grasses and insects could not escape this catastrophe, the whole world seemed to have lost the color of life, everything was dark and gloomy.

You must know that the former Rhine Confederation was a rich black forest and land, as well as a large area of grassland, otherwise this would not be a country of knights, and it would not be able to train so many knights on horseback.
The undead have wreaked havoc on this world, like a spreading plague that will undoubtedly be desperate in the future if it is not stopped.
Sivi has entered the "dark side of the moon", and under the protection of Eluna's divine magic, he seems to be separated from the real world by a light veil, shielding the breath of the living, and can easily evade the detection and monitoring of the undead.
Since the catastrophe, Lady Silvermoon, as the only true god in the world of Orrente, has not moved, and since the dark elves transformed into night elves, it has been a long time since she has intersected with Xiwei, this situation is definitely not normal, it can really be said that the undercurrent is turbulent, and the road ahead is bumpy.
Sivi passed through Saarbrücken, the city of the undead army, where countless skeletons, ghouls, flesh golems gathered, and there were large numbers of necromantic bats in the sky.
The most important core of the necromantic army is still the Death Knight and the necromancer, and Sivi saw the figure of several lichs, and it is clear that after the initial attack was thwarted, the undead king Bardes has sent his most elite power, and it is also very likely that he will be killed himself.
However, Sivi didn't stay here for long, but launched a teleportation spell and went directly to Fort New Wagget, the base camp of the undead on the continent of Oronte.
The soul has built the "Illuminating the Ten Thousand Worlds General Awareness Technique", and Xiwei casts the teleportation spell not only to greatly reduce the consumption, but also to converge the light and shadow effects, almost without alarming anyone, and once again casting the dark side of the moon, Xiwei directly entered the interior of this undead base camp.
It has been completely transformed into a paradise for the dead and an arsenal of the undead, where almost all the ghouls, flesh golems, and necromantic bats are processed, and Sivi has seen countless living and dead being sent here and then turned into an army under the command of the undead king Bardes. This is the center of the dark canopy and the place where it first unfolds, and the negative energy is also rich to the extreme.
At the same time, this is also the location of the portal connecting the Orent continent and the position of the bone, which can be said to be the most important military place, Xiwei sensed the breath of many strong people, and there are also super protective spells, naturally to guard against possible raids and destruction.
Xiwei's trip is not for destruction, but for reconnaissance, the portal connecting two two-person is very difficult to open and build, and it is necessary to choose the place where the space barrier is weakest and the two spaces are the closest to each other. And New Waggett Fort is undoubtedly the best teleportation point from the Buried Bones to the Orent Continent, and Sivi came here to enter the Buried Bones.
Although the spatial landmark of the Buried Bone Status is in the hands of the undead King Bardes, Sivi once attended the inaugural meeting of the Dark Council with the "White Raven Covering the Sun" Schiller, and for him, who now has a legendary level of space spell attainment, he can directly teleport from the New Waggett Fort alone to the place where the bones are buried, without going through the portal of the undead, and without alarming Bardes.
Xiwei directly activated the "Illuminating Ten Thousand Worlds General Knowledge" constructed in his soul, and the thirty-six void inscriptions shone brightly, and the whole world seemed to turn into nothingness in front of Xiwei, leaving only points and lines, lines and planes, planes and emptiness.
With the memory of having traveled to the Capital of the Dead, although there was no Plane Key to the Buried Bones, Xiwei locked the direction of the Buried Bones in an instant.
The light in the soul was flourishing, illuminating the Ten Thousand Realms General Consciousness Technique in an instant, and the dots were connected into a line, running through two completely different planes that did not intersect, and Xiwei's whole person turned into a ray of light, and walked along the line of this temporary plane.
In a breath of time, Xiwei changed from light and shadow to human form again, this place is dark, only ghosts and ghosts floating around, Xiwei has successfully smuggled into the position of burying bones!
Xiwei's trip to the position of burying bones this time was not to learn the necromancy of mastering negative energy, but to explore and understand the origin of death controlled by the undead king Bardes, to see how far he had come, and to break the mysterious aura that shrouded him, so that he could respond in a targeted manner in the decisive battle.
Looking at the entire Oronte world, there are very few people who can sneak into the position of the buried bones and spy on the original power of the immortal king Bardes, and Sivi is a master of art and bold, and at this time, Bardes must be in the Orent continent, and even near the Maginot Line, so it is an opportunity to take advantage of.
When it comes to the Holy Domain, even the demigods, the gap between the caster and the warrior is gradually blurring, and the only way to transcend and achieve immortality is undoubtedly to control the power of the origin of the world, so as to achieve the true god, no matter what kind of hero, May Day must not move forward on this road of gods.
The priesthood that the immortal king Bardes is aiming at is undoubtedly the god of death, and the power of the origin he is snooping on must be the origin of death, what is the embodiment of the origin of death in the world of Orrente?
Nature is the Endless River Styx.
Xiwei opened the True Demon Eye, and when he entered the legendary rank, this ability was naturally greatly enhanced, the Demon Eye was opened, and the entire position of the buried bones was in full view, and he who had condensed and extracted his soul into a brilliant star diamond in the Endless River Styx, and soon sensed the breath of the Endless River Styx.
Xiwei teleported again, and went directly to the place of induction, and as soon as he landed, Xiwei was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The plane was opened, the Styx poured back, and the water of the endless Styx rushed down, directly into the super pool that was excavated, and countless souls accumulated in it, turning into a steady stream of negative energy, which was used by the immortal king Bardes!
Bardes is so bold that he actually broke a gap in the endless River Styx and stole the power of the world's souls as food for himself and the undead!
Sivi finally understood why the "Wall of Soul Sighs" built by the lich in order to fight outside Milan could block the glorious magic of Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, because this wall of soul sighs borrowed from the countless souls in the endless river Styx!
This place is undoubtedly the most secret forbidden place in the entire Buried Bones Land, and it is also the biggest secret of the immortal king Bardes, Sivi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Bardes is really a masterpiece of a generation, if he is allowed to accumulate like this, the possibility of becoming a true god is naturally infinite.
With this pool of Styx, Bardes is by no means short of negative energy, and can even be generous enough to directly create hundreds of death knights.
You must know that the powerhouses of the master level are by no means cabbage, and the core forces of the major powers in the world of Orent are all high-level, that is, the way of the model, whether it is the Knights of the Remnant Sun, the Knights of the Dawn, the Knights of the French Guard, or the main elite of the Holy Norman Empire.
Although Bardes destroyed the Rhine Federation, the negative energy required to transform hundreds of master-level death knights is simply astronomical, and even Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, who has the support of the two artifacts left by the Lord of Radiance, cannot do this step.
There were many thoughts in Sivi's mind, but the person moved forward step by step, stepping directly into the pool of the River Styx.
His soul had been refined in the endless river of Styx, and as soon as he entered the pool, he directly turned into a brilliant soul diamond, dazzling and shining.
This pool of the Styx feels far less comfortable than the endless Styx, and countless souls roar and rage in it, as if they have fallen into despair.
Yes, although the endless river Styx is the destination of the souls of the dead, it also leads to a new life, where life and death are balanced, and the total number of living beings in the world of Orrent has basically not changed much, even if natural disasters and wars cannot affect it.
However, Bardes's move intercepted the water of the River Styx, although it is currently only an insignificant part of the entire endless River Styx, that is, the origin of death, but for this part of the soul is desperate and helpless, they have no possibility of rebirth, they can only become pure negative energy.
Sivi looked at the gap in the endless river Styx in the sky, with a strong aura and will of the immortal king Bardes, obviously as long as this place is touched, Bardes will have a sense and return immediately.
Sivi is by no means Bardes' opponent at the moment, not to mention that even if he can fill this Styx gap, Bardes can open it again, which can be said to be of little effect.
With the pool of the River Styx, the undead king Bardes can be almost invincible, and the negative energy he controls is endless, which means that the army of the undead is endless, even if the undead king Bardes himself is severely damaged, as long as he returns to the pool of the River Styx, the resurrection time will be greatly shortened.
Do you just sit back and watch Bardes become a god in this way, turning the entire world of Orrente into the kingdom and paradise of the god of death?
No, never, there is no room for arcane and civilization in such a world, and Sivi can cooperate and coexist with Euricia, but it is impossible to make peace with Bardes.
For the power of various world origins, Xiwei has already had a lot of exploration and experience, the Frost Origin, the Light Origin, and the Time Origin......
So how to counter Bardes?
Thinking of Infiniti, the Lord of the Remnant Sun, and Eulicia, the Lord of the Dawn, Xiwei's eyes lit up, for the exploration and pursuit of the power of the source, it is impossible to have no competitors, once the two aim at the same priesthood, it is the battle of the Great Dao Immortal.
Besides Bardes, is there a strong man who has not aimed at the priesthood of death?
Perhaps, but Sivi doesn't know, but it's not a problem, make one for him if not!
And this person must have a deep hatred for Bardes, and do not share the sky, so as not to be subsequently co-opted and become Bardes's chosen one or a god.
A suitable candidate was instantly locked in by Sivi, it was none other than the former prince of the Rhine Confederation, the son of Ludwig's consul, Reinhardt!
The last hope of the Rhine did not give up resistance, and he led his last cronies and elites into the mountains of the southeastern part of the Federation, maneuvering between several small principalities and city-states, and having been tempered by a hundred battles, he had already broken through to the legendary rank some time ago, and that was enough.
How can you help Reinhardt access and master the power of death? There is already a good example of Charlotte the Ashbringer.
Charlotte is able to communicate with the source of light alone and perceive the power of the Holy Light, in other words, she is a small competitor for the God of Light, but with the presence of the Lord of Dawn, Euricia, unless the Lord of Dawn falls, Charlotte cannot compete for the position of God of Light.
The more he understands the power of the world's origin, the clearer his path to demigods and even gods becomes.
The power of the world's origin is so vast that no one can completely control it, and to be able to achieve the level of "the moon is me, I am the moon" like the silver moon lady Eluna, is already a true god, and even the strongest among the true gods.
The rest of the world's strongest beings, whether it is the Lord of the Remnant Sun, the Lord of the Dawn, the Immortal King, the Lord of Tyranny, the Queen of the Deep Sea, and so on, the power of the corresponding world origin controlled by them can be said to be really minimal, a drop in the ocean.
What they have to do is to continue to deepen and strengthen their grasp of the power of the origin of the world, and on the other hand, they will gather their faith and finally ignite the divine fire, and faith will help them to transcend, complete the last step from human to god in one fell swoop, and truly achieve immortal true God.
But in Sivi's view, Shinto, while the easiest and clearest path to immortality, has its own flaws.
The power of faith comes from thousands of believers, it cannot be pure and one, once the power of faith is sealed, it will inevitably be firmly tied to the believers and the church, the church is prosperous, the god is strong, the church is weak, if the faith in the world is eradicated, the gods cut off the power of faith, and even the kingdom of God may collapse and fall again.
When a god has a priesthood, he is firmly bound to a certain world origin, which certainly allows the god to steal or use some of the world's own permissions, but the restrictions alone are very deep, and it is impossible to change the path.
Because of these two major flaws, Xiwei has already determined his future path, and will never take the path of sealing gods, otherwise, with his current research on the elements and ether, as long as he further grasps the origin of the four elements, he can call himself the master of the elements or the master of the ether, and join this roaring and cracking god competition.
Sivi has chosen Arcane as his future path, Arcane means exploring the truth, it means infinite possibilities, and it is precisely because of this that Sivi did not try to control the power of other Origins, otherwise he would have at least many chances to control the Frost Origin, the Light Origin and even the Time Origin.
As for the power of the origin of death, Xiwei did not try to get involved, he was greedy and chewed too much, the time was too urgent, and he could only run all the way along the predetermined path, but this did not prevent him from having his own understanding and comprehension of the power of the origin of death.
Once walking in the endless Styx and singing, the soul is refined and sublimated, for the power of the origin of death, Sivi has had a certain level of contact, to the current situation, from the gap in the Styx opened by Bardes to enter the Styx again, meditate and understand, there is a harvest.
