Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 194 The Northern Frontier Suffers Calamity, the Underworld Lord Khufu!
"What is this?" Lin Ling didn't react for a moment.

What does it mean that other undead have invaded the Dragon Kingdom's undead realm?

What exactly is the Netherworld?
"Come with me first! I'll explain on the way!" Jiuyou didn't explain much before pulling Lin Ling away.

Yu Shishi and Yue Ehuang were left bewildered.

"Ah! Ah~!" (You can follow him; the human soul will ultimately not be reversed by the demonic body, but once in the human world, you must abide by the rules of the human world.)
Like a mother guiding a child who has never experienced the world, Yue Ehuang slowly enlightened Yu Shishi.

A hint of struggle flashed in Yu Shishi's eyes before she spoke.

"Will you leave me?"

"Ah!" (Of course not, my child~)

The sky seemed like a curtain smeared with blood, twisted and folded, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

The world's main colors are dark red and bone white, which are the primary colors of death.

Here, there are no living creatures; only the souls of those who have died on this land enter this place.

"This is the Netherworld. You can think of it as a shadow of the world. Unlike the Dark Dimension, the Netherworld is distinguished by country or continent. We are in the Dragon Kingdom's Netherworld. It might be easier to understand if you think of it as the Underworld," Jiuyou explained to Lin Ling.

"This place feels so much like the Abyss of Fiends?" Lin Ling looked around.

The atmosphere of the Netherworld is extremely similar to that of the Abyss of the Dead, except that it is not as extreme as the Abyss of the Dead. It is mainly a deathly still place, but it does not produce a particularly oppressive or uncomfortable feeling.

"The Abyss of Death was created by the ancient king based on the Netherworld. His original intention was to use the Abyss of Death to continuously erode the Netherworld, and eventually let the Abyss of Death replace the Netherworld of the Dragon Kingdom, so that he could complete the unification of the world of the dead in the Dragon Kingdom after his death."

"As expected of the First Emperor, even in death he wanted to complete the unification of the empire. So where is he now?" Lin Ling asked curiously.

The First Emperor must have died long ago, since increasing one's cultivation level cannot extend human lifespan.

Moreover, that armor also proves that after his death, the First Emperor became a ghost and ruled the realm of the dead for a period of time.

"I don't know. The king suddenly disappeared one day, leaving only his armor. None of us, the fallen kings of the eight directions, know where he went. Now is not the time to talk about this!"

Realizing the topic had gone astray, Jiuyou quickly steered it back on track.

"Once the Netherworld is invaded by the rulers of other Netherworlds, all the undead in the invaded Netherworld can sense that another Netherworld King has invaded."

At this moment, the two of them were riding on the Skeleton Lord, flying over this desolate land.

The Skeleton Lord, who was originally destroyed by Lin Lingyi's forbidden light spell, was resurrected again due to the characteristics of the Abyss of Fiends, but his aura was somewhat weaker.

But each flap of its bony wings, which blot out the sky, can cover a distance of tens of kilometers.

This invasion took place in the northern border of the Dragon Kingdom, which is quite far from Tongxiang. It is almost impossible to use the Dark Dimension for teleportation, as being exposed to the Dark Dimension for too long would make it easy for another Wen Tai to sense his presence and location.

Going through the Netherworld would be much faster, and Jiuyou also led a large army of undead from the ancient capital there.

It's a pity that if Lin Ling had donned the armor and become the Ancient King, he could have used the Abyss of Fiends to bring the army of the undead there.

"The undead king who invaded this time is very powerful, and I may not be his match."

The Nine Netherworld Queen has only been an emperor for a short time, making her a difficult opponent for those old monsters. That's why she plans to bring Lin Ling along.

Lin Ling's strength is far greater than hers.

You should know that after she became an emperor, the summoning contract should have had a much weaker binding force on her, and she could have forcibly released it if she wanted to.

But the contract remained as strong as ever, which meant that Lin Ling's strength far surpassed hers.

Northern Xinjiang?

Lin Ling was no stranger to the undead catastrophe in the Northern Frontier. It was Leng Jue's masterpiece, but according to the original timeline, Leng Jue should not take action for a while longer.

Now the time has been moved forward.
Ever since Salang tricked him, he has been analyzing the information from the original work based on the actual situation before deciding whether to use it or not.

This time, Leng Jue is more inclined to use this opportunity to build momentum for his bid for the papacy.

The death of Pamish and the declaration of his papacy signify that the Black Papacy, these madmen, are about to embark on a frenzied feast.

Lin Ling originally planned to deal with the Black Church first and then go to the far south, but it seems that the Black Church is now a more urgent priority.

"arrive!"

A rift tore open in the dark red curtain of the sky, and the Lord of the Underworld passed through it, arriving beneath the azure sky.

The cool, fresh air rushed into my lungs instantly, as if it had cleansed them, and even breathing became much smoother and more comfortable.

In the distance, there are continuous mountain ranges wearing white caps, which look like a giant ice dragon lying there.

High above, Lin Ling could already see an enormous dimensional portal opened and standing on this grassland.

From the dimensional rift within the silver vortex, the undead poured out like a tidal wave.

Their rotting bodies jostled and collided with each other, the sounds of bones grinding and hoarse wails weaving together into a chilling symphony of death.

Amidst this swarming tide of corpses, several towering, dark-colored giant frogs stood out conspicuously.

Thick pus seeped from their dark green skin, which was covered in lividity, and their swollen bellies rose and fell violently with their breathing.

The most terrifying thing was the thousand copper chains wrapped around the frog's body, connecting it to the underworld boatmen in front of it. Only when these thousand boatmen let out a beast-like roar and took a difficult step forward did the Underworld Frog reluctantly move forward a step.

Moreover, an increasing number of advanced undead creatures are emerging from dimensional portals.

Medusa, surrounded by serpent demons.

A arbiter with a dog's head and a human body.

A golden sphinx with the body of a human.
"It's Khufu! But who built this spatial passage?"

The moment Jiuyou saw the golden sphinx, he realized who the invading undead king was.

It is none other than Khufu, the King of the Netherworld!

"The dimensional portal shouldn't have been open for long, so Leng Jue should still be nearby."

Lin Ling projected the dragon eyes of the Hunting Falcon, which allowed him to clearly see the situation on the ground even from high in the sky.

Soon he discovered a group of people standing on a cliff about ten kilometers to the left and behind the dimensional portal.

At this time, the only one appearing near the army of E-class undead was Leng Jue, one of the cardinals of the Black Church.

"Nine Netherworlds, let me deal with another troublemaker first, then I'll help you beat up Khufu later."

After saying that, Lin Ling disappeared.

On the other side, while Leng Jue was still admiring his masterpiece, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky like a meteorite, and with a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, the ground exploded.

The violent shockwave, carrying debris and dust, exploded in a ring.

Before the dust had settled, a figure slowly straightened up, the ground beneath his feet cracked and sunken like a spider web.

　This part of the plot won't be very long, and it shouldn't drag on too much.
