"This should be the abyss, I finally see the real abyss!"

The soul of a demon believer couldn't help but cry out excitedly when it saw the legendary River Styx, but after a blink of an eye, it was also a little puzzled: "Why don't there be towering volcanoes here?"

In any case, whether these souls were excited, frightened, or unwilling, as they floated over the River Styx for some distance, the mysterious power that had bound them suddenly disappeared, and these souls drifted towards the river in the wind of the River Styx. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, on both sides of the River Styx, countless white bones were piled up.

Whenever a soul floats down, it will soon be absorbed by these white bones, and the consciousness of these souls will also fall into a coma at this time.

Gradually, as the souls continued to fall, skeletons emerged from the bones, completely devoid of any intelligence, wandering the banks of the River Styx.

If two skeletons encounter each other, the instinct from the soul fire will cause the two skeletons to engage in a brutal battle until one of the soul fire is consumed by the other.

After devouring the soul fire of other skeletons, these skeletons will undergo some changes.

The skeleton became shiny and hard, and a bone knife grew out of the hand that was otherwise unarmed.

After continuing to devour the soul fire, the skeletons will continue to evolve.

Maybe the bone knife will become sharper, the left hand will grow a bone shield, the skeleton on the body will be stronger and some sharp bone spurs will grow, or maybe the bone knife will become a bone spear, a longbow, and so on.

By the time the winds of the River Styx had stopped, the banks of the River Styx were covered with a large number of skeletons of various colors.

At this time, the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes, who had built his palace on a mountain of bones, sent his undead to the banks of the River Styx to collect the newly born skeletons.

To say that the wisdom reaches a certain level, the undead are actually not much behind humans, under the command of several vampire leaders. The skeletons began to make bone boats out of hollow bones, which were used to cross the River Styx, in order to scrape the skeletons on the other side.

The initial scraping mission went relatively well, but upon reaching the other side, the vampire leaders quickly encountered the challenger.

A skeleton with a whole body of silver has gathered thousands of skeletons and settled on a mountain of bones near the River Styx.

Under the command of the Silver Skeleton, these skeletons are constantly killing nearby skeletons and improving their strength.

For skeletons that break the rules like this, those vampire leaders naturally can't tolerate it.

Soon, a battle broke out between the two sides.

The battle didn't last long, led by a vampire boss. The coalition of skeletons, zombies, and red skeletons surrounded and annihilated the skeletons with an absolute advantage, but the silver skeleton escaped from the sky and disappeared.

These vampire leaders didn't care about the whereabouts of the silver skull at all, they cared about how much soul fire they could devour and how much strength they could strengthen.

However, after these vampire leaders returned to the Bone Mountain Palace, they were severely punished by the Black Warrior Emperor.

The Black Warrior Emperor sensed the emergence of a strong competitor by taking advantage of his dominance in the undead half-plane. But these stupid vampires actually let each other go, and it is conceivable that before long, a strong opponent will appear.

This made the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes, who had not experienced mood swings for a long time, extremely angry.

Although the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes is an undead. But unlike all the other undead, he has regained most of his memories from his life.

Although the mood swings of the undead are very weak, as Paynes, who has most of the memories of the human being, after having the power of almost the entire undead half-plane. Naturally, there will also be ambitions that should not be there in the first place.

Not to mention the mysterious and unknowable existence, but if other undead tried to challenge his power, the Black Warrior Emperor would not be willing.

Thus. After punishing the vampire leaders, the Black Warrior Emperor sent his descendants, twenty Black Warriors, with a hundred red skulls, to hunt down the escaping silver skull.

The Silver Skull was defeated dozens of times in a row, and each time the skeleton army it gathered would be ruthlessly destroyed by those black warriors and red skulls, and he himself was seriously injured and fled.

But as time passed, the defeat after defeat allowed the silver skeleton to grow.

After the Styx wind blew three times, the bones on the silver skeleton were already a third of gold, and its soul fire was also crimson with a small half-yellow.

In the final battle, the silver skeleton completely defeated the besieging Black Knight, the Red Skull, and killed these former pursuers one after another.

Like the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes, the silver skeleton that was slain from the sea of bones in the mountain of corpses has finally received the gift of Jacodao.

A bit of gold fell into the silver skull's soul fire, and the soul fire immediately boiled, and a powerful power spread out from its body to all directions.

After a few minutes, the soul fire had regained its calm, but its color had turned dark yellow with some green, and the skeleton on its body had turned golden.

"I am the ruler of all skeletons! Golden Skeletons... Gandhi!"

The sound of the soul fluctuation spread out in all directions, and the golden skeleton gradually regained its memories of life, and finally hesitated for a moment, choosing the name with the deepest memory as its current name.

With the appearance of this golden skeleton, almost the skeletons in the entire undead half-plane walked in its direction, and before they could get close, they all knelt on the ground, offering their piety to the king of this skeleton.

"Your Majesty the Great Paynes, those skeletons ......"

A vampire reported with some trepidation, but was immediately interrupted by the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes: "Stop all hostile actions against the golden skeleton Gandhi." ”

"Stop?"

All the vampires erected in the palace of Bone Mountain and even those black warriors who had initially opened their memories couldn't help but be a little surprised, well, those red skeletons had completely rebelled and defected to the golden skeleton, so there was no red skeleton in the palace anymore.

"Well, that's a great being too. ”

The Black Knight Emperor Paynes had to stop his hunt for the Silver Skull, knowing that the Silver Skull had been protected by a mysterious being just like itself, and had become a powerful undead with the same power as itself.

Of course. Even with the loss of the largest skeleton army, the Black Knight Emperor Paynes still had no worries about his status.

Skeletons are inherently inferior to the Black Knight, and any Black Warrior knows this from the moment they appear.

Of course, this is limited to people of the same rank, such as between the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes and the Golden Skeleton King Gandhi.

Soon, the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes discovered that with the appearance of the Golden Skeleton King Gandhi, the probability of other low-level undead creatures evolving into Black Warriors increased after a new round of Styx winds. As a result, there was a small blowout in the number of Black Warriors gathered under the command of the Black Warrior Emperor Paynes.

But for the skeletons, their evolution direction is no longer just zombies, vampires, red skeletons, and black warriors, with the appearance of the golden skeleton king Gandhi, the evolution direction of skeletons has begun to become orderly.

Normally, the weakest skeletons are called gray skeletons, and their skeletons are the most fragile. With no weapons in their hands and no knowledge of how to use them, any human soldier could easily kill five or six gray skeletons.

On the banks of the River Styx, the Grey Skeleton has killed several of its kind. Its skeleton will gradually turn into a gray skeleton armed with a bone knife, or further evolve into a zombie or vampire. Red Skull, Black Samurai and more.

However, if these gray skeletons converge in the territory of Gandhi, the Golden Skeleton King, they will only evolve in the direction of the skeletons.

For example, after the gray skeleton evolved into the gray skeleton. It will be divided into knife skeletons, spear skeletons, bow and arrow skeletons, although these skeletons are ordinary bone knives, bone spears, bone bows, but they are more powerful than these skeletons that evolved on the banks of the River Styx.

After that, they will evolve into red red skeletons, which are much shorter than the original red skeletons, but not weak.

Red Skulls can evolve into Black Skulls and Silver Skulls.

But at the level of Silver Skeleton, it is basically the apex of skeletons, and it is impossible for that Golden Skeleton King to let other skeletons threaten his status and power.

Well, of course, in terms of the current volume of the undead half-plane, the upper limit of the power that can be supported is the level of the Black Warrior Emperor and the Golden Skeleton King, and no matter how high the strength is, it is impossible to appear.

Unless the undead half-plane continues to expand beyond a critical point and grows from a half-plane to a plane.

However, the growth rate of the half-plane is extremely slow for ordinary humans.

Normally, there are very few plane fragments that a half-plane can encounter, so if nothing else, it will take more than 100,000 years for a half-plane to grow into a nascent plane.

However, the body of the snake released by Jia Kedao was cruising near the undead half-plane, and all plane fragments that appeared in this range would be dragged into the undead half-plane by the snake body for the undead half-plane to devour and absorb and grow.

Such a move has accelerated the growth rate of the undead half-plane by an unknown number of times, and the expansion rate of its volume is almost within the reach of the naked eye.

Due to the rapid growth of the half-plane, there are constant earthquakes in the half-plane.

Of course, for those who are not dead, such continuous earthquakes have become a habit.

The undead half-plane was already extremely close to the critical point, and the overall area of the undead continent exceeded one million square kilometers at this time.

Of course, for a half-plane, in order to grow into a plane, it is a requirement that its volume exceeds a certain range, and there are also rules and regulations.

For the undead half-plane, due to the Book of Life and Death, its rules are completely inclined to the undead aspect, and it is fully qualified in this regard.

At this time, the snake's body found a plane fragment floating over, and immediately flew over, wrapping its huge body around the plane fragment, and dragging it towards the undead half-plane not far away.

As the distance between this plane fragment closes, the suction generated by the undead half-plane naturally accelerates the speed at which the plane fragment is approaching.

Soon, the snake's body detached from the plane fragment, allowing the plane fragment to rush into the undead half-plane.

After the plane fragment collided with the barrier of the undead half-plane, it immediately stirred up a black mist that rose into the sky, but the plane fragment was also swallowed by the undead half-plane.

As this fragment of the plane was swallowed up, the earthquake of the entire undead half-plane immediately became violent, and even volcanoes that were rapidly erupting appeared at the edge of the undead half-plane, and the continuous flow of magma made the area and volume of the undead half-plane increase faster by more than ten times.

After a few breaths, the area of the undead half-plane exceeded one million square kilometers.

That's when it happened. An inexplicable fluctuation was generated in the undead half-plane, and after a few moments, a consciousness-like existence was formed.

This is the plane consciousness that the half-plane has after growing into a plane, and some special half-planes will appear in advance, but those are all half-planes with a large number of creatures.

It is impossible for a half-plane like the undead half-plane to appear in advance of the dimensional consciousness.

Normally, the dimensional consciousness is the consciousness of the beings in the entire plane, which is called the Gaia consciousness on Earth.

But if the plane is too large and there are too many creatures inside, then Gaia's consciousness will fall into a deep sleep. Unless there is something like the destruction of the plane, then the plane consciousness will not awaken.

But if the plane is too small, then the plane consciousness will be in a state of awakening, so that when the plane consciousness is strong enough to a certain extent, the plane consciousness will grow into a god.

In fact, this is how the first gods in this world were born.

However, it was impossible for the consciousness of this nascent undead plane to grow into a god, because not long after its birth, a black mist erupted from the book of life and death, enveloping this consciousness. After the black mist retracted into the book of life and death, the face consciousness disappeared without a trace.

With the disappearance of this plane consciousness, all intelligent undead creatures in the undead plane felt that something had disappeared from their soul fire, but then something more.

With the transformation of the half-plane into the nascent plane. The limits of power in this undead plane were also quietly lifted.

Both the Black Knight Emperor Paynes and the Golden Skull King Gandhi were excited, and their soul flames became greener in silence, making their power even stronger.

Not long after the birth of the undead plane, the annual winds of the River Styx blew again.

Countless souls drifted over the River Styx under the wind of the River Styx.

One soul after another drifted down to the banks of the River Styx. Falling into a pile of bones.

Soon, a gray skeleton slowly stood up from the pile of bones and began to walk around the riverside unconsciously.

Suffice it to say, the vast majority of souls are able to attach themselves to the skeleton. Turned into a fire of the soul and eventually grew into a skeleton.

But there was always an accident, and a polymath soul drifted away from the banks of the River Styx and fell into a pile of rocks as it fell.

For the polymath, his power may not be very strong, but his knowledge is definitely greater than that of most intelligent beings.

He knew that if he fell into the pile of bones, all his memories could be erased or obscured.

The skeletons that the souls that fell down before have turned into a point of proof.

As a polymath, he did not want his memory to be erased like this, so after a little special method, he did not fall into the pile of bones.

But it soon became clear to the polymath that it was not actually safe here.

A cloud of ghost fire that drifted back and forth in mid-air unconsciously rushed towards this soul with great momentum.

And this polymath's soul didn't adapt to the way the soul moved at all, and could only watch as the ghost fire swallowed itself in one gulp.

But this polymath found that although he was swallowed by the ghost fire, and although his soul was shrinking rapidly, it was all the unconscious eating behavior of the ghost fire.

At the same time, he was also able to devour the soul power in the body of this ghost fire.

Of course, in the beginning, it was difficult for the Erudito soul to resist the absorption of the ghost fire, but with the proficiency of the technique, the Erudito soul quickly absorbed the ghost fire.

After absorbing the ghost fire, the Erudito soul ceased to be a soul, and then transformed into a ghost fire.

But this ghost fire has the wisdom and knowledge of a polymath.

For the rest of his life, the polymath Ghost Fire wandered around, looking for a lone ghost fire to devour.

In fact, the most basic undead creatures of the ghost fire also have a sense of territory, and under normal circumstances, the ghost fire in the same territory will devour each other, but if they encounter outsiders, these ghost fires will unite under an inexplicable force and devour the outsiders together.

Of course, this is limited to ghost fire. If a skeleton breaks into the territory, all ghost fires will follow their instincts and hide in a relatively safe place to prevent being preyed upon by skeletons.

It can be seen from this that if this Erudito ghost fire breaks around, the final outcome will be to be sucked dry by more ghost fire.

As time passed, the Erudito grew stronger, and it was even able to cast some spell-like spells to attack its enemies.

Of course, if this trick is used on the predator fire, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses, but if it is used on the skeleton. It is advantageous, too.

In fact, neither the Black Warrior Emperor nor the Golden Skeletron nor their growing subordinates noticed the strangeness of this ghostly fire.

To put it simply, for the Black Warrior Emperor, the Golden Skeletron, the ghost fire is the ants on the side of the road, and they don't even have the idea of devouring them.

The power of the ghost fire was completely useless to these powerful undead.

Erudito Ghost Fire is called Theonic, a typical noble name of the main material plane, and I think it is also. If it weren't for the aristocracy, where would there be so much free time to spend on research and absorbing knowledge, and where would there be so much money to buy a large number of books.

In fact, the great polymath Zagras, who worked under Jacodao, was a prince of the kingdom, but he was not interested in politics. In the end, he chose the profession of polymath.

Theonik hid himself in a pile of broken bones by the side of the road, his characteristic soul gaze monitoring any situation within a kilometer radius around him.

It's been lurking here for almost a month, and it's pretty much aware of the undead passing by.

As the saying goes, the road is made by man.

And in the plane of the dead. This path is naturally walked by the undead.

Needless to say, vampires can fly, but for all kinds of skeletons and even zombies. The undead of the Black Warriors, no matter how fast or slow they are, need to move forward on the ground, so it is easy to be trampled out of places where there are more undead.

Three black warriors walked slowly along the road with large swords in hand.

This is the junction of the forces of the Black Knight Emperor and the Golden Skeletron, and the two sides have divided the entire undead plane into two parts, one for each person.

On the surface, there is no offense between the two undead kings, but in private, there are constant conflicts at the border of the two forces, so this also makes there be some patrols at the junction of the two sides to prevent the other party's sneak attack.

The patrol of three Black Knights was not weak, not to mention that Theonik knew that there would be a number of vampires around the Black Knights, all of whom would fly in the shadows as bats, and if the Black Knights were attacked, they would attack the enemy from behind.

Theonik collected all of the diffused Soul Sensing power the moment the Black Knights appeared, and it was not until the patrol disappeared into the distant mountains that the Soul Sensing Power was reactivated.

Theonik is self-aware, and it is difficult to deal with a black warrior with his own strength, let alone such a powerful patrol, and the end of his rash actions is death.

In the time that he has been lurking, Theonik has seen a lot of people who have killed themselves.

There's black knights, there's vampires, and all kinds of skeletons, and these guys are wild.

Well, since some of the undead have their memories opened earlier, they don't obey these two undead kings, but try to make their own.

But when attacking the patrol, many guys were directly killed, and none of them were able to succeed.

Theonik's target is not the Black Knight Emperor, but the Golden Skeletron.

It wasn't long before a patrol of Black Skulls appeared.

Compared to the Black Warrior Patrol, the number of black skeletons is much larger, and the patrol composed of hundreds of black skeletons is mighty and powerful, but it makes Theonik start to get excited.

"Shock the undead!"

As a circle of silent fluctuations spread out, the pace of the black skeletons' progress was suddenly chaotic, and the black skeletons staggered into each other.

"Soul Extraction!"

More than a dozen finger-sized ghostly fires flew out of Sionik's body and landed in the eye sockets of a black skull, causing Theonique's original size to shrink by half in an instant. (To be continued.) )
