Chapter 718: Chapter 195: Great Revenge Accomplished_4
Ah Dai paused, suddenly aware that the Sword of Hades was still exposed to the air, and quickly spurred his True Qi in his body in attempt to sheathe the sword. However, the Sword of Hades had absorbed a great deal of evil aura, refusing to withdraw, the dark blue light on its blade suddenly gaining intensity. Enduring the intense evil aura, Qian Qian quickly set up a barrier around Ah Dai using her energy, separating the evil aura and the Sword of Hades, preventing its continued absorption. With a loud shout, Ah Dai, whose True Qi was at its peak, mentally resolute, was not affected by the Sword of Hades. The Sumeru Sword rapidly retracted and turned into a circle of resplendent golden light, enveloping the Sword of Hades. As it was squeezed by the enormous energy of the Sumeru Sword, the eerie blue light gradually dimmed, and Ah Dai finally managed to safely sheathe it.
Without the source of the Sword of Hades, the surrounding evil aura gradually disappeared. Qian Qian breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Ah Dai, saying, "Why do you have such evil weapons? Do you know? Just now, if you had let your sword continuously absorb this evil aura, it might have backfired on you. No matter how great your skills are, you definitely would not have been able to resist it. You must never use it again in the future."
Ah Dai remembered what Xuan Yue had said to him when he first came to the Death Mountain Range, feeling a chill in his heart, and nodded, "I was too excited just now. Qian Qian, you don’t understand, my lord once brutally tortured Uncle Owen with poison, finally killing him. The enmity between him and me is too deep. To finally be able to avenge Uncle Owen by killing the him, I...."
Qian Qian waved her hand and said, "That’s enough, don’t say anymore, I understand your feelings. If it were me, I might have done the same. You came here to find me today, is it because you want my help?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Indeed! We have united the various forces across the continent, organized an army of hundreds of thousands to wage a decisive battle against the Church of the Dark Saint. Now our army is stationed outside. This time, no matter what, we must completely destroy the Church of the Dark Saint and prevent them from opening the gateway to the Demon Realm. Six of the checkpoints have already been cleared by us. As for the undead creatures behind those, we don’t know much. Are you willing to go back with me? You have lived here for a thousand years, I’m sure you can help."
Qian Qian gently shook her head and said, "Ah Dai, I’m not going to go into the human world with you. Even though I have now become a god spirit, I have no particular fondness for humans. I have seen too much human intrigue and deception. The only ones I want to see now are you and your beautiful wife. If you have any questions, ask me now. When you go deeper into the Death Mountain Range and confront other undead creatures, I will be there to protect you. After everything here is settled, I might go on to reincarnate. You were right, maybe I will be luckier if I start over."
Ah Dai sighed softly, "If you don’t want to meet others, that’s fine. After your reincarnation, there will be a brand new beginning. Don’t think too much, you won’t be hurt anymore. Can you tell me, what kind of undead creatures are at the last five checkpoints in the Death Mountain Range? Also, how can we eliminate the evil aura here? With this evil aura present, it is very difficult for our allied forces to penetrate deep into the Death Mountain Range, let alone confront the Church of the Dark Saint."
Qian Qian floated next to Ah Dai and said, "You should not hope to clear the evil aura here, it’s been accumulating for thousands of years. Even a sky god couldn’t do it, let alone your so-called human-associated forces here. When they face down the upcoming undead creatures, there will only be one outcome, death. I can feel that you have cleared the evil aura in the first three checkpoints, but that’s just the outer layer. Starting from the fourth checkpoint, the evil aura from the entire Death Mountain Range is interconnected and cannot be eradicated. The creatures to come are so powerful that even the head of Dark Saint Church, who has an Undead Handbook, wouldn’t dare to offend them easily. And they’re nearly surpassing the category of undead creatures. Let me briefly explain their characteristics. In the eighth checkpoint, that’s the next one, the undead creatures guarding are the Undead Fire Demons, which possess fire abilities that are beyond comparison with those Fiery Undead Spiders from the fourth checkpoint. I’ll explain their origins, then you’ll understand their menace. A thousand years ago in a great battle, all of the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm participated. These Undead Fire Demons are actually the lowest-ranked divine soldiers from the Divine Realm. During the battle, their souls were corrupted by the energy of the Demon Realm. Even though their bodies died, they were transformed into their current form after becoming contaminated with the aura of the undead. They are all about three meters tall giants, their bodies shrouded in dark armor, and use a fire whip as their weapon. This is the Death Flame produced by the combination of demon fire from the Demon Realm and the fire of the undead, it can directly burn human souls. It’s very difficult to deal with. And because these guys were originally divine soldiers from the Divine Realm, their will is very firm. My abilities can’t do anything to them. Luckily, there aren’t many of them, only about a hundred or so, otherwise, you would definitely be unable to break through their defenses. Remember, the Undead Fire Demons are immune to all magic except for the water element. Their bodies are naturally immune to other kinds of magic. Even water-elemental magic wouldn’t hurt them without the power of a forbidden curse. I’ve never fought them directly and I’m not sure how strong their physical attacks are. However, according to my estimate, you should be able to handle a few Undead Fire Demons with your current cultivation. Whether you can get through or not depends on how many masters accompany you. These Undead Fire Demons cannot be negotiated with. Their souls have become exceptionally contaminated and corrupted, you must kill all of them. They excel at sneaking attacks, be very cautious. The higher-ranked undead creatures behind are not bound to one region, although they guard the eighth checkpoint, they could run elsewhere. Their most terrifying trait is their cunning."
After listening to Qian Qian’s narration, Ah Dai gasped in fright. Only the eighth checkpoint was already so challenging, he couldn’t even imagine how formidable the remaining four checkpoints would be. He couldn’t help frowning and said, "So, we can only fight the Undead Fire Demons head-on. With my abilities, I should be able to kill some Undead Fire Demons."
Qian Qian smiled slightly and said, "With your cultivation, it should be no problem. However, you must kill them as quickly as possible to reduce their numbers as much as you can. Don’t let them take advantage. According to my estimations, with your current strength, dealing with these Undead Fire Demons shouldn’t be a problem. But the last four checkpoints are hard to say. The ninth checkpoint of the twelve calamities of the undead is the Bone Dragon Corps. There are over two hundred Bone Dragons guarding there. These Bone Dragons are transformed from real dragons and far surpass the Rotten Dragons from the sixth checkpoint."
After hearing Qian Qian’s words, Ah Dai looked horrified, "What? The Bone Dragons are the undead creatures of the ninth checkpoint? Weren’t Bone Dragons known as the most formidable among the undead creatures? How come they are at the ninth checkpoint?"
Qian Qian chuckled and said, "That’s just what you’ve heard. Although Bone Dragons are high-level undead creatures, they are far from being the strongest. These over two hundred Bone Dragons are very strong and all possess the ability to fly. Their strength only differs due to differences in cultivation at the time of death. As far as I know, the most powerful Bone Dragon King is over seventy meters long and is the dragon soul transformed after a Dragon King died. The dragons helped God Feather achieve the final victory back then, but they also met their own demise. After over two hundred dragons died, their bones and souls recombined and were corrupted by evil and death, transforming into what they are now. Although they became Bone Dragons, their strength is hardly inferior to when they were living, only their temperament has changed. Just imagine, what would it look like with over two hundred Bone Dragons? They have the ability to be immune to all magic. You can only contend with them using physical attacks. Do you feel a little disheartened upon hearing about such powerful undead creatures?"
A glint flashed across Ah Dai’s eyes, and he firmly shook his head, "No, I will never be disheartened. Even if I have to kill them one by one, I will wipe them all out. Qian Qian, please continue. What are the last three types of high-ranking undead creatures?" For the survival of the continent, even if he knew he was facing an invincible enemy, he wouldn’t fear at all. Moving forward bravely was his only choice.
