Although encountering some unexpected incidents, the entire process of exploring the treasure went more smoothly than expected, and the rewards were quite substantial.
As Nie Yan was preparing to leave, the entire sculpture suddenly started vibrating violently.
The situation looked ominous!
Nie Yan noticed that the sculpture was continuously collapsing, with chunks of stone falling from above. The hall developed massive cracks, and the ground rapidly split open.
Random teleportation scrolls or city return scrolls couldn’t be used within this map.
Nie Yan leaped through a fissure at the edge of the hall, and the sight that greeted him left him speechless.
All the rotting corpses across the Death Plains began to stir, slowly rising from the ground.
System: The portal to the Ancient Battlefield has opened. Coordinates: 375.285.293823. The portal will remain open for twenty natural days.
Nie Yan glanced at the coordinates. The location of the portal was extremely far from where he stood. Normally, he could reach it within a single day. However, the current problem was that there were so many rotting corpses below, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see, surging like a tide.
Trying to clear them one by one would be extremely difficult!
Nie Yan’s previously used summoning skills were all restricted, except for two skills from the Lich King Insol’s Ring, which could still be used. Since the Lich King Insol’s Ring was the core of this world, it was not restricted!
With the skills of Doomsday Summoning and Soul Control, he should be more than adequately equipped!
As he was about to fall into the sea of corpses, Nie Yan cast an Icebound Land scroll. A wave of frost spread out, freezing all the rotting corpses within a 10×10 yard radius into ice statues.
Nie Yan used the Feather Fall skill and landed safely.
Summon Doomsday Guards!
A powerful aura of darkness surged from the Lich King Insol’s Ring. Three tall Doomsday Guards appeared before Nie Yan. They were massive skeletons, five to six yards tall, entirely black, covered in sharp bone spines, with bone wings on their backs and wielding huge longswords that, although rusted, still radiated terrifying power.
The three Doomsday Guards swung their longswords, cutting down the surging tide of rotting corpses without hesitation, standing firm like three iron towers.
Nie Yan looked ahead. The rotting corpses stretched endlessly, continuing all the way to the horizon. Their eyes were filled with chaos, many of their bodies were already broken and battered, yet they still struggled to rise from the ground. They were mindless puppets.
The sheer number of rotting corpses was truly terrifying.
The Doomsday Guards swung their longswords, felling one rotting corpse after another. However, shortly afterward, Nie Yan witnessed an exhilarating sight—the fallen rotting corpses stood up again, becoming his dark minions.
It was the Soul Control skill!
One after another, the rotting corpses rose from the ground. Every one he defeated became his controlled servant. With such a skill, what was there to worry about? He could definitely reach the portal within twenty natural days!
The Doomsday Guards charged forward, eliminating hundreds of rotting corpses. Nie Yan’s forces rapidly grew. He commanded his undead minions to fight, and each fallen enemy joined his ranks, making his army increasingly massive.
Two hundred, five hundred, one thousand… Nie Yan gradually found it difficult to control them all, so he controlled only a portion while letting the rest attack freely.
The area became a chaotic battlefield. Nie Yan cast a fire magic scroll. Flames rained down from the sky, instantly incinerating over two hundred rotting corpses. Soon after, these corpses stood up again.
This place was like a testing ground, making Nie Yan keenly aware of how powerful the Lich King Insol’s Ring truly was.
As the battlefield expanded, Nie Yan’s experience began to slowly increase. At his level, gaining experience was extremely difficult.
Not only was he gaining experience, but even the Saint’s Heart experience bar showed signs of movement, albeit very slightly.
Feeling the Saint’s Heart experience bar move, Nie Yan became even more frenzied in commanding his undead army.
By the end of the first day, Nie Yan had accumulated over two thousand rotting corpses. By the second day, the number had reached over eight thousand. By the third day, it had surpassed thirty thousand. They engaged in widespread chaotic battles across an area nearly ten thousand yards wide, with an astonishing number of deaths.
On the fifth day, as Nie Yan continued advancing as usual, a pleasant system prompt sounded. Checking the notification, he finally obtained the Saint’s Heart after such a long time!
Nie Yan’s heart swelled with excitement. To obtain the Saint’s Heart, he had spent over two years, defeating countless dark creatures—probably at least two to three million in total. Now, finally achieving this goal, how could he not be thrilled!
After advancing the Saint’s Heart, Nie Yan immediately thought of Zennarde’s Sword. Now, Zennarde’s Sword should evolve as well!
Nie Yan switched from his Bloody Dagger to Zennarde’s Sword. A dazzling, radiant light illuminated the entire world before gradually fading.
Zennarde’s Sword blazed with flames, its fire slowly changing from black to a pure blue, radiating intense heat.
The surrounding undead corpses fearfully retreated to the sides, staring in astonishment at Zennarde’s Sword in Nie Yan’s hand.
This divine artifact, with all its seals finally broken, had finally revealed its original brilliance!
Nie Yan’s heart pounded with anticipation. He couldn’t wait to see its attributes after the seals were completely removed. He quickly checked:
