Chapter 197: Lower-ranking days! Weak divine power

"No wonder they say the path of death suppresses reality."

Around Xiao En, at least a dozen liches appeared, some of them seemed to have just awakened from their sleeping mausoleums, and their skeletons were covered with dust. These liches basically don't have to worry about dying in battle, even if they die, they will be resurrected through the life box in the mausoleum. A qualified lich will at least prepare more than ten skeletons for resurrection. Of course, it takes a long time for the extraordinary to transform into a lich, and slowly the humanity is lost bit by bit, and their attitude towards mortals becomes more and more indifferent.

Compared to other out-of-control supernatural beings, mad liches are actually relatively rare. After all, the will of the undead is immune to most negative emotions.

On the battlefield, after thousands of undead wizards had swept the ground, the demon army of the Abyss City began to advance head-on. In the opened tomb under the summoning tower, countless flesh puppets, skeleton golems, and mummy guards began to attack head-on to clean up the battlefield.

The most powerful of the twelve mythical paths are the Path of Death and the Path of Nature. One can break through the boundary between life and death, and the other can have a long lifespan. They have accumulated too much wealth in the past thousand years.

Not far away, the great druids of the path of nature didn't even have the chance to make a move, and the two sky lords symbolically performed the 9th-ring whirlwind spell.

The coalition forces of the three camps advanced triumphantly all the way, advancing hundreds of kilometers in half a day, and finally reached a bloody swamp. There were basically no normal humanoid creatures to be seen here, because that was the territory of evil creatures. Countless bloody muds gathered into shapes, which were puss that flowed out of the past, and they condensed into thousands of semi-elemental monsters.

——Corrupted mud monsters, polluted elements, corrupt blood, unclean offspring, etc.

Tens of thousands of polluted creatures distorted by the laws of the Old Days emerged, some of them were squirming flesh and blood like a pool of mud, some were jelly liquids gathered from dark red blood, some were unclean offspring who profaned their own blood and mated with indescribable creatures, and some were hateful evil creatures gathered from the pus and blood of the Old Days. The Old Days' followers would be assimilated by the laws little by little over time, and after surviving for several years, they would become less and less like humanoid creatures, and their life forms would approach the indescribable Old Days.

Because the reproductive isolation of the grotesque country has been erased, if the old clans want to further advance, they must mate and reproduce with unspeakable evil creatures, so that the offspring born in this way are unclean children with strange appearances.

In the old earthly kingdom of God, they held a status close to that of the gods from other worlds.

Xiao En suddenly sensed something and instantly raised his head in alertness, his mind wavering in all directions: "Be careful! It's the hatred of the world!"

next second.

Huge waves arose in the blood-red swamp, and countless poisonous scarlet liquids gathered into a torrent. They raised waves tens of meters high, spreading in all directions like a tsunami.

——Tsunami (upgraded level) [Legendary Spell]!
The water flow in the entire bloody swamp area was drained, and even the nearby filthy river channels were set off by huge waves. Tsunamis tens of meters high swept in all directions, and the highly poisonous rotten water submerged the land in an instant.

Blood rained down.

As the hatred of the world awakened, a bloody storm blew up in the sky. No one knew when the sun's light gradually dimmed, and the laws of the domain that governed the weather enveloped the battlefield, and a dim red sun gradually appeared.

The hatred of the world has mastered a part of the origin of the laws. Some of them are mad elemental princes, some are corrupted nature spirits, some are stillborn evil creatures, and some are unclean sons of gods born from the remains of blasphemous gods of old.

Before the Dark Ages, there were Old Ones who injected their embryos into the corpse of the Stone Mother and used the Stone Mother's womb to breed ancient evil creatures and divine evil. These offspring who died before they were born were full of hatred, and most of them were killed. The only one that is still relatively active is the Kirishima Orphans.

——Swamp Spirit [Hateful Earth Spirit] [Evil Thing] [Elemental Demigod] (CR 30+)? !

Earth spirits are an extremely special kind of existence.

They are similar to the land and mountain gods of the East, a kind of legendary spirits, bred by nature, born with divinity, and if they gain the power of faith, they may be deified. In ancient times, a large number of gods were born in this way in the belief of all spirits in shaman totems.

Countless blood and mud gathered in mid-air, and a behemoth like a bloody swamp giant emerged. His mind was insane and full of hatred, and he caused a tsunami on the land as soon as he landed. The elemental laws in his body were very distorted, and the laws of the water and earth domains were constantly in conflict. His body was like a boiling furnace, and bubbles kept coming out of his skin. His flowing pus and blood transformed the earth into a highly poisonous area, and a dark green miasma spread in all directions.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"The water element realm has been detected! ... The earth element realm has been detected! ... The poison realm has been detected! ... The flesh and blood realm has been detected! ... The corruption realm has been detected! ..."

"The target has a priesthood of the Swamp side!..."

The coalition forces of the three major camps had just advanced to the heart of the poisonous swamp when they encountered a tough nut to crack. The hateful earth spirit was supposed to be a member of the natural god system, but now he has been completely dominated by the Old Ones. As he raised his hands and smashed down heavily, a 9-ring earthquake spell instantly affected an area of ​​several thousand meters in radius.

The first wave of tsunami had just passed when the earthquake that followed caused the surrounding land to crack, revealing bottomless cracks. The people who were swallowed up by them disappeared without a trace in an instant.

——Walking in the clouds.

——riding on the clouds.

The impact of the tsunami caused considerable losses to the Skeleton Golems on the Path of Death, while in the direction of the nature camp, rising clouds emerged. The druid's 7th-level spell was Cloud Walk, and the wizard's 8th-level spell was Ride the Clouds, both of which were group flying spells.

Xiao En saw some oriental faces with black hair and brown eyes in the direction of the nature camp. They seemed to be witches from Zhendan. They possessed unique five-element magic. Their spellcasting abilities were divided according to the five elements and could strengthen specific elemental spells.

Finally, a big boss took action.

In the camp of the Path of Death, a huge skull shadow emerged, and pitch-black ghost claws of the underworld covered the sky. As the realm of death opened, countless ghosts flew out from His projection, and the dead and deformed creatures on the battlefield stood up one after another, and they were directly transformed into undead creatures.

For necromancers, there is never a shortage of manpower on the battlefield.

——Shadow King [Demigod Lich] [Shadow Lich Form] (CR 32+)! ?

Very few shadow liches can be promoted to demigods, and the one in front of him is undoubtedly an exception. The Shadow King is a fence-sitter demigod of death. He has ambitions but not enough strength, and often plays both sides. He is not particularly famous among the many demigods of death, but he has a vast territory in the shadow plane.

As the Shadow King appeared and faced the Swamp Spirit, other troops in the coalition camp also began to advance rapidly. The Natural Path directly leaped over the battlefield and approached the deepest land of hatred.

The tactics used in this campaign were similar to the blitzkrieg in World War II.

After severely damaging the vanguard of the Old Ones, the coalition forces of the three camps will advance rapidly, intercepting the enemies coming from all directions along the way, and opening a passage directly to the Old Ones' lair. Once the war breaks out, the enemy will not be given any time to react. Everyone's goal is to kill through the entire Death Swamp and hit Huanglong.

Xiao En naturally did not linger.

——Turn mud into stone!
Hundreds of undead wizards and druids cast spells at the same time, directly turning the activated swamp into rocky roads. The demon army of Abyss City continued to advance, and the Flesh Golems, Skeleton Guards and Mummy Guards allocated part of their forces to intercept the enemies in the Bloody Swamp.

The entire army continued to advance with high mobility. On both sides, evil monsters and deformed forms continued to pour in from all directions of the poisonous swamp. As the coalition forces attacked the interior of the swamp, more and more Old Ones began to gather here, and millions of enemies rushed to the battlefield one after another.

"The old territory was a kingdom of God."

"If there were no orbital strike, advancing from land would require crossing a depth of thousands of kilometers. I didn't expect them to use a blitzkrieg tactic."

Xiao En looked down at the earth from thousands of meters above, and the scene he saw was basically the same as the blitzkrieg simulation map of World War II.

The vanguard did not stop at all. They cast spells to build bridges over the rivers they encountered along the way and filled the swamps with magic. A road hundreds of kilometers long was paved deep into the swamp. The follow-up troops kept separating out. First, the Flesh Golems on the Path of Death sent out a legion to intercept the multi-headed lizard subspecies coming from the southwest. Then the Treeman Guards on the Nature Path took root on the spot and set up defenses on both sides of the river for dozens of kilometers to intercept the enemy. Then the Demon Legion opened the gates of the abyss and built a fortress on the edge of the Death Swamp to block the deformed armored monsters.

All just to allow the elite troops to enter their old dormant place.

The entire war took less than six hours, and the coalition's front had advanced 700 to 800 kilometers. All the enemies along the way were intercepted, and the troops were constantly transferred to both sides of the marching route. None of the evil creatures in the entire poisonous swamp could stop their progress. However, the deeper he went behind enemy lines, the fewer allies Xiao En had around him. When he saw the behemoth in front of him that looked like a volcanic eruption, only those powerful people with legendary strength were left around him.

The laws of space have been locked.

Even Sean, who has a trace of spatial domain, cannot teleport here. This activated swamp is like a kingdom of gods, with a domain barrier arranged like a maze to restrict teleportation spells.

——Lord of the Swamp - Mondor [Old One] (Challenge Level??)!
At this moment, the mysterious knowledge in Xiao En's brain seemed to be suppressed by some powerful law of authority, and in an instant, part of the mysterious knowledge in his brain lost its activity.

"Domain suppression - water!"

"All 1-9 level water-related spells are banned!... You cannot cast water-attribute spells below Legendary!..."

"Domain suppression—earth!"

"All 1-9 level spells related to earth attribute are banned! ... You cannot cast earth attribute spells below legendary level! ..."

"Field suppression - poison!"

"All poison-related spells from level 1 to 9 are banned!... You cannot cast poison spells below the legendary level!..."

"The authority of the Lord of the Underground breaks through the restrictions of the laws!"

"Your earth attribute spells can be cast normally."

For an instant.

The mysterious knowledge in Xiao En's brain began to stir. Countless pieces of mysterious knowledge gathered into rune imprints and automatically condensed into the law authority of the Lord of the Underground. That was the earth domain that once belonged to the Mother of Stone. Under the interference of the laws of this domain, Xiao En broke through the forbidden effect of "Domain Suppression-Earth".

"It turns out that the old days were all about power!" Xiao En's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

The old laws that erode the world.

In the old days, the Lord of the Swamp - Mondor was not a very powerful one, but after entering his swamp domain, the other people present were still sealed from the ability to cast spells of 'earth, water and poison'.

"Divine shield detected!"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Divine power shock wave detected!"

A terrifying torrent of energy erupted, knocking everyone present to the ground. They all used their abilities to dodge and save their lives. The regional divine shock wave covered an area with a diameter of about ten kilometers, which meant that the Lord of the Swamp possessed power close to the 10th level of godhood. Although he was not an orthodox god, his abilities were almost the same as those of other evil gods.

"Automatic divine power casting detected!"

"Supernatural power [Reality Distortion] detected!"

"Supernatural power [Change Form] detected!"

"Supernatural power detected: [Control Mud Monsters] [Control Elementals] [Control Aberrations] [Control Old Families]!..."

"Detected divine immunity - attribute damage, attribute drain, acid, cold, instant death effect, disease, crush, electricity, energy drain, mind influence, paralysis, poison, sleep, deterrence, deformation, imprisonment, exile."

“Detecting extraordinary divine power [Unspeakable Madness]!…”

——"Unspeakable Madness (Extraordinary Divine Power): Any creature within 3000 meters of the Swamp Lord - Mondor must pass a legendary difficulty will save. Failure of the save means that the creature falls into eternal madness and fear. This effect is stacked every minute. After the save fails, the target's flesh and blood body will go berserk. The activated flesh and blood will be transformed into flowing flesh and blood mud, and will continue to elementalize, gradually twisting into the Swamp Lord's followers.

As long as the target sees the Lord of the Swamp and glimpses His indescribable true appearance, the target will trigger a difficult Willpower saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the target will enter a negative state such as fear, confusion, frenzy, and self-mutilation. If the saving throw fails for the second time, the target's flesh and blood will gradually melt away, and the effect is equivalent to the deformation of all things, with the body twisted into the form of a tainted deformed body.

Only miracle and wish spells can directly remove this effect."

[When sensing the presence of the Lord of the Swamp, all creatures will continuously increase their spiritual pollution. ——Do not look directly at God! 】

The battle hasn't started yet.

Many of the legendary warriors present had already been affected by the various negative states of this old day, and some warriors who specialized in elemental magic had most of their spellcasting abilities blocked.

Sean was slightly less affected, after all, he had been taken by Amon to face most of the past of the Weird Kingdom.

Rumble!
The wind and clouds changed constantly, and the power of the old laws controlled the weather, directly turning the day into night. Waves of corrosive blood rain came in the face. They were attached with the laws of the poison field, and triggered a large number of disease judgments at the moment of contact. The corrosive blood rain was like the breath of a black dragon. As long as it touched the skin and flesh, it would sizzle, as if a strong acid fell on the body.

at this time.

A dazzling comet appeared in the sky, like a huge fireball. This comet, with a diameter of about three kilometers, fell with a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth, and a piece of the entire poisonous swamp was wiped out.

The demigods finally took action!

The figure of Lady Hecate emerged above the clouds. Amid the rumbling thunder, a burly Titan elder descended from a height of ten thousand meters holding a spear filled with lightning. The shadow of the sage in the forest turned into a giant spirit of several hundred meters. With a wave of his hand, countless giant trees rose from the ground. At least ten demigods appeared on the battlefield. When they attacked, the sky collapsed and the earth split apart. They directly smashed the swamp lord's body, which was as huge as a volcano, into pieces of flesh and blood all over the sky.

But this poisonous volcano on the surface is only a small part of His huge body. As the laws of space distort, the main body of the mud plane begins to project and descend. A behemoth tens of thousands of meters high is like a black cloud that overturns the sky and the earth. In the fission of the earth, countless wriggling sludges deep underground in the swamp gather and soon turn into faceless mud giants tens of meters high.

——Lord of the Swamp - Mondor [Lower Ancient] [Weak Divine Power] (Challenge Level 50+)? !

——Portfolio: Swamp, Mud, and Decay.

——Divine domain: earth, water, poison, flesh, blood, mud, corruption, and deformation.

Mystical knowledge screams.

As His true form was revealed and He completely awakened from His slumber, the material plane began to overlap with the slime plane, and this indescribable and vast old day also presented a level of challenge.

His blood bar is showing!
