Chapter 196: Conquer the Old Days!

Xiao En didn't know how long he held on.

He felt that he had maintained the ritual for far more than forty-eight hours, because at the final stage of the ritual, he even longed to possess the legendary "Pink Book" himself.

Yes.

If he had the legendary "Pink Book", he would never have had such a hard time. If he had known that the Natural Path would hold a ceremony of the Sacred Tree Song, he would have asked the people in the Central Space and Time Center whether they had collected this legendary banned book.

Xiao En finally walked out, holding on to the vine wall of the Ring of Nature. The three fairy sisters in the lake were trembling like him.

Although their main role is to serve as a power bank for the fusion technique, they can also sense everything in the outside world in the fusion technique, and even share some of Xiao En's body senses, but they do not have control over their bodies. Therefore, in this extremely long sacred tree song ceremony, the three sisters of the lake fairy perceived everything from a male perspective, and experienced the wonderful feeling they had never experienced in their lives and the desire to conquer that is unique to male creatures.

"Don't let anyone bother me!"

"I'm going to retreat for a while."

Xiao En declined the offer from the Natural Path and went back to his own Tower of Truth through a portal. When he came back, in the room on the side of the tower, the observer, Kuradirs, stuck his head out and looked around. After seeing Xiao En's exhausted appearance, he couldn't help but grin and said, "Is dragon blood useful?"

Sean glared at it, and Observer-Kuradirs immediately retracted its head and continued to hibernate obediently. Its growth rate was amazing, and now it had become a teenage dragon.

According to the current effect of darkness and prosperity, it won't take long for it to become a young dragon.

"But the prosperity of darkness cannot continue for too long."

"Many ordinary people have begun to age faster, and they have aged five or six years in just one year."

Seal No. 1 looked at Xiao En and said calmly: "I suggest you prepare an advanced recovery spell for yourself. Your body looks very weak."

Xiao En walked into the laboratory expressionlessly and closed the door directly.

The day passed quickly.

When Xiao En woke up from his deep sleep, he felt that his mental state had recovered a lot, and his heart was calm, as if he was in an enhanced version of the sage state. He felt that he had no interest in women for at least a month.

——Projection.

Xiao En's real body stayed in the demiplane to continue his unfinished research work, while his projection returned directly to the Abyss City. After entering the legendary realm, spellcasters rarely use their real bodies to deal with small matters. Either projection or simulation can replace them to complete many tasks.

Of course, if you're crazy enough, you can also clone yourself.

However, it is generally not recommended that you do this, because if there are so many clones that you don't know which one is the original one. The historical events of Neverwinter Nights have told mages not to clone themselves recklessly.

Sean's projection is a 16th-level wizard with no psionic abilities and only a single level of arcane spellcasting.

This kind of incarnation does not need to be infused with divinity. When it dies, it dies. At most, it consumes a little soul power. If it is infused with divinity, the entity of the incarnation will increase significantly, but once it dies, the loss will be very great.

Black Forest.

Sean's clone opened a portal and arrived directly at the Abyss City's outpost in the poisonous swamp, which was a bronze-cast steel fortress.

The black forest that once existed has disappeared.

In its place was a lush primeval forest, with countless towering trees blocking out the sun. It was like a miracle. In just two days, everything within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was slowly corrected. The endless grassland stretched to the end of the sight, and the once polluted lakes restored their blue waves. In the area where the poisonous swamp was inlaid, a clear dividing line extended over 3,000 kilometers in length, directly cutting off one-fifth of the continental shelf. Under the old pollution, the natural path opened up a natural sanctuary of more than 100,000 square kilometers in the real country.

This area is roughly equivalent to a province in the previous life, or a country in Europe. Such a huge holy ceremony surprised Xiao En greatly.

As for the Natural Festival Ceremony, its impact was even wider. This nearly twelve-ring ceremony affected places tens of thousands of kilometers away. However, because it was not in the core area of ​​the ceremony, the effect of purifying nature was not that obvious. It only awakened the vitality of nature.

The laws of the forest and tree realm have been restarted.

"Naturally, this is a stake of all the family assets!"

The Black Forest has formed a natural ring with a diameter of about 30 kilometers. Here Sean also saw the former forest cabin, but it had been destroyed. Several great druids joined forces to purify it and rescued the imprisoned tree spirits from its ruins. They were resettled by the druids using reincarnation magic.

This tree house is now a druid's hut and is placed in the center of the natural circle.

The edge of the entire poisonous swamp was divided into three camps that confronted the old days, namely Abyss City, Death Path and Natural Path. The base camp of Natural Path was in the Black Forest, while the outpost of Abyss City was directly rooted in the poisonous swamp. Death Path did not set up any strongholds, but a hundreds-meter-high summoning tower was erected outside the poisonous swamp.

A crow-like cry was heard.

Sean looked towards the tree house in the distance. He saw a young Crow Man hatching from the shell in the hands of two druids. It did not seem to be a contaminated deformed creature, but a completely normal intelligent creature.

"Is this also the effect of the ritual?" Xiao En's expression was very shocked.

He can correct mental pollution, but has been unable to correct the deformation of flesh and blood. It seems that the great druids of the natural path have the ability to repair the deformation of flesh and blood.

The power of the natural path and the life path are integrated together, because the laws of the life realm are more in the hands of the natural path.

——"Wild wind! Heed my command!"

Xiao En sensed the fluctuations of magic, and his figure flashed in an instant, appearing in the direction of the lake. He saw the owlmen circling in the sky. They looked a bit like harpy men, with bird claws on their feet and a unique arch that could be used.

Owlmen have unique racial talents. Their ancestors made a contract with the wind element in ancient times. This contract, called the 'Covenant of the Wind Lord', allows Owlmen spellcasters to gain an additional +1 caster level when casting all spells described as [Air].

"Has the High Cliff been recaptured as well?" Xiao En looked at the Owlmen circling in the sky not far away. Most of them looked very young, with residual flesh and blood pollution on their bodies, but their deformed life forms had been restored. They were guided by a legendary promoted Sky Lord, the Archdruid of the Raptor faction.

The hidden power of the Natural Path was stronger than Xiao En had expected. Just near the Black Forest, he could sense the auras of seven legendary powerhouses.

A king of beasts, a sky lord, two legendary barbarians, and several powerful nature masters who could not be clearly perceived by clones alone.

The sound of rumbling footsteps was heard.

In the direction of the Ring of Nature, dozens of high-level druids opened the gate to the forest. Most of them were druids who had once slept in the Dream Forest. Only those who had mastered the ability of immortality could enter the dreamland and sleep. Inside the opened gate to the forest, Xiao En saw ancient tree guards that were more than ten meters tall.

"The Ancient War Tree has also been sent out?"

The growth cycle of a treeman is very long. If an awakened treeman wants to have combat power, it needs at least hundreds of years of cultivation. If it wants to reach the level of a legendary creature, it will take at least hundreds of years. It can be said that it is much more troublesome for the archdruids to cultivate a legendary ancient tree guard than to raise a dragon. It is basically impossible to send a treeman to the battlefield unless it is the most critical moment. Moreover, the movement speed of treemen is too slow. They are only suitable for siege battles.

The countdown to the conquest of the swamp lord, Mondor, has begun.

Xiao En stayed outside the druid camp of the Ring of Nature for a while, and soon flew towards the Summoning Tower dozens of kilometers away.

The Path of Nature has already done its best, so the Path of Death naturally cannot stand idly by.

The breeze brought a smell of preservatives.

At the border of the holy residence opened up by the natural path, there is a very clear filthy land. Different from the pollution of the poisonous swamp, this is a blasphemous land of death, also known as the 'evil residence'.

There was a hint of decay in the air.

The river here seemed to have been soaked in preservatives, filled with a pungent smell of formalin. When Xiao En landed, a ghostly shadow emerged, staring at Xiao En and said, "This is the territory of the dead."

"Please show your token."

——Earthbound Spirit (Challenge Level 12)!
Xiao En didn't expect that the necromancers would even bring out the earthbound spirits. A death emblem appeared on his palm, and the ghost quickly bowed its head respectfully and disappeared.

The entire base of the summoning tower was built into a huge underground tomb. Xiao En saw many mummies, the same mummies he saw when he was first resurrected. The flesh golems guarding the high walls were also transferred here, and they were densely packed in the dark room of the underground tomb.

——Flesh puppets, skeleton golems, and mummy guards.

Right below the summoning tower is a huge dragon skull, which looks like the remains of an ancient dragon. Its winding body is hundreds of meters long, and its wingspan is about fifty meters. The bones of this dragon are a bit like fossils, and no one knows where the undead wizards dug them out from.

“None of the big guys were there.”

The one in charge of the Summoning Tower is the necromancer Sandro, assisted by three other legendary necromancers, one of whom has transformed into a lich.

I have to say that there are really a lot of liches on the Path of Death.

Xiao En only walked around the Summoning Tower and he felt the breath of several liches. Even those who had not turned into liches, many had already transformed into the form of corpse wizards, so that they could use the will of the undead to fight against various pollutions.

In the outpost fortress of Abyss City, a dark and magnificent abyss gate opened.

The leader was the six-armed snake demon lord Ishbel, and behind her were more than a dozen high-level demons. In this battle, the demon army was the vanguard, and the elite demons of the Abyss City were responsible for attacking. The Seven Evil Guards of the Abyss City were not present either, and it seemed that it was just a peripheral encounter.

The entire poisonous swamp has been transformed by the Old One into His kingdom on earth. This vast swamp area is filled with too many evil creatures, the Old One's followers, and the Old One's descendants.

"A frontal assault is no less difficult than attacking the kingdom of a weaker god."

Among the many Old Ones, the Swamp Lord - Mundor is not very powerful. He is one of the new Old Ones and has no allies. However, he has caused serious pollution to the material plane. If humans want to return to the material plane, they will never be able to purify the atmosphere of the entire planet without dealing with him.

Half a month passed quietly.

While Sean was busy testing the elemental furnace, the clarion call for the real kingdom's counterattack on the material plane had already been sounded.

He felt the call from his teacher and opened a portal directly to the Summoning Tower.

Thousands of meters in the air, Xiao En saw a huge gathering of deformed creatures. They were basically the indigenous inhabitants of the swamp, creatures of twisted flesh and blood, mixed with all kinds of indescribable deformities. The crocodile people who were two or three meters tall were one of the old clans. They had turbid dark yellow pupils and were bloodthirsty and brutal. Under their gray-black skin were abscesses grown from their deformed flesh and blood, which would spray venom in all directions when they burst. There were two toad-like tumors on their lower jaws, which allowed them to spit acidic poisonous gas like black dragons.

The shadows of banshees appeared one after another.

They appeared above the enemy, followed by waves of shrill howls.

——Banshee's Wail (9th-level spell).

Dozens of undead wizards on the Path of Death attacked at the same time, and the howls of banshees filled the ground. As far as the sight could be seen, thousands of deformed monsters died on the spot, and the ground was littered with monster corpses with blood gushing from all their orifices.

The instant death spell washes the ground.

The extraordinary people of the Path of Death attacked from the right side of the battlefield. Even the demons did not dare to approach the direction they attacked because there were area spells such as Death Cloud, Burning Cloud, Withering, etc. The battle had just broken out, and the troops gathered by the Old Ones had already been wiped out in one fell swoop in the monster's base camp.

——The Scourge of the Undead!
——Soul Nova!
——Emblem of Death!
In the sky above the battlefield, there were rays that looked like blood-red lightning. That was the signature spell of the School of Necromancer, the 7th-ring Finger of Death, which was specifically used to kill those legendary monsters that withstood the first wave of spell wash.

Xiao En didn't even have to make a move, but the other extraordinary people on the Path of Death had already advanced triumphantly and killed all of their old relatives in just over ten minutes.
