Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 70: The State Between Life and Death (Please Read It!!!)
Han Ji couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.

The Ancient King, the ruler of the Undead Empire.

If he is truly determined to reclaim his former territory, who can stop him?
Even a forbidden spell mage would probably find it difficult to compete with it.

However, the ancient king clearly stated that he would leave the human world to the living. This alone was enough to prove that he had not become an undead spirit that only knew how to kill.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient king was so dazzling and glorious. He was the most powerful emperor in Chinese history.

During those long years, he protected countless people from the threats and invasions of demons! !
The back of the ancient king is like an eternal monument, always standing in the long river of history. Just standing there is enough to make everyone feel awe and worship him.

"Our deal is over. Give me your body! As long as you follow the agreement, I will grant you a vast territory and make you the supreme king above all others!"

"You wish! Just wait patiently for me to refine you!"

"No! You dare to betray..."

On the blood-red throne, Jiang Yuan, dressed in armor, seemed not to hear anything and selectively blocked out the voice in his mind.

In fact, the consciousness in this armor is not the ancient king himself. It only carries part of the ancient king's memory and almost all of his power.

The immortality that the ancient king pursued throughout his life was by no means the continuation of life in the form of a ghost, but the true immortality and indestructibility as described in the legend!
Because of this, at the moment of death, in order to avoid turning into undead, the ancient king resolutely transferred his own power into this armor!

As his life ended, he completely disappeared from the world.

"I don't know whether I am dead or alive now." Jiang Yuan sighed and slowly stroked his chest with his right hand.

Wherever I touched, it was icy cold, and my heart had stopped beating.

Jiang Yuan's condition at the moment is very strange.

He should have died from the curse, but he didn't really die. His heart just stopped beating and his body temperature was as cold as a corpse.

But unfortunately, his consciousness was extremely clear, he could breathe normally, and even if he was injured, he could heal on his own.

You say he is dead, but he clearly still has all the signs of life; you say he is alive, but he is completely different from a living person.

As for why he was wearing this armor, it all started from the moment the curse broke out.

At that time, the power of darkness surged and directly stimulated the armor, and it automatically adhered to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan originally thought that his consciousness would be swallowed up by the armor, but no matter how the armor eroded it, it could not have any effect on his consciousness and body.

So, Jiang Yuan reached a deal with Kaipao.

It is also because of this that the scene of the ancient king appearing in the ancient capital occurred.

This armor robe is too simple after all. It only contains part of the ancient king's real memory. Otherwise, how could it fall into Jiang Yuan's trap so easily and be taken advantage of for free?

Moreover, as time goes by, the armor will be eroded by Jiang Yuan bit by bit.

In time, Jiang Yuan will be able to completely control the power of the armor.

Moreover, this reverse devouring process will accelerate as Jiang Yuan's strength continues to increase.

"Oh, and those bastards from the Black Church." Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the twisted ghost. Then, facing the empty darkness beside him, he said in a deep voice, "Bring the twisted ghost here."

"Yes, my king." A charming voice came slowly, and a sexy figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness.

Before long, the twisted ghost was tossed before the Bloody Throne like a piece of discarded garbage. Mu He quickly crawled under the Bloody Throne, pressing his head firmly against the ground, and shouted, "Greetings, my king!"

"Raise your head." Jiang Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of amusement.

Mu He raised his head cautiously, but the moment he saw Jiang Yuan's face clearly, his whole body trembled violently, and the twisted soul in his body began to dance wildly, and he cried out: "It's you, Jiang Yuan!!"

"A lowly undead like you is allowed to call out the king's name?!" Queen Jiuyou shouted angrily, and her powerful mental force rushed towards Mu He like a surging tide, suppressing him again.

Mu He felt as if his body was about to be crushed by this powerful force. He spoke word by word with difficulty: "He is not the Ancient King, Queen Jiuyou, please see clearly, he is not the Ancient King!!!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan said to Queen Jiuyou calmly, "Let him learn this lesson."

"As you command, my king."

Queen Jiuyou grabbed Mu He's twisted body, dragged him away, and began a long torture.

As the great lord of the undead and a ghost-type undead, Queen Jiuyou is best at torturing souls.

After a full hour, Queen Jiuyou threw the dying Mu He back and said coldly:

"Remember your humble status now. If the king hadn't wanted to keep you, your filthy soul would have been devoured by thousands of ghosts long ago."

The Queen of the Nine Netherworlds also felt extreme disgust towards the souls of the members of the Black Church.

After this incident, Mu He no longer dared to resist.

"Come, sign this contract." Jiang Yuan said, and a contract appeared out of thin air in front of Mu He.

This is a contract with the undead, but it is completely different from an ordinary undead contract.

This contract is an absolute master-servant contract. Once signed, the master can completely control the slave's consciousness, behavior, and even life and death.

Mu He didn't even dare to have the thought of refusing, and signed the contract without hesitation to show his loyalty.

Jiang Yuan watched all this quietly.

The reason why he kept Mu He was actually very simple:
He wanted to use Mu He to hunt down members of the Black Church and stuff the souls of all the Black Church members into Mu He's twisted body.

Wait until the Black Church is completely wiped out, and then kill Mu He.

In this way, one can harvest a spirit of at least monarch level.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

"King, when will you be able to obtain full power?" Queen Jiuyou suddenly asked from the side.

In fact, all the deceased kings knew that Jiang Yuan was just wearing this armor and was not the real ancient king.

But since Jiang Yuan can use the power of the armor, he is the new ancient king. However, he still needs some time to recover his former peak strength.

"Within five years." Jiang Yuan said lightly.

This time is already more than enough. Five years is enough for him to completely refine the consciousness in the armor. It can be said that it is more than enough.

The Queen of Nine Netherworld nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, King. Until you are fully restored to your former glory, we will restrain our undead spirits and never allow them to set foot in the world of the living."
