The Frostbone Dragon lay weakly on the ground, drained of energy.
The blood-red soul fire in its eye sockets was dimming, like a flickering candle in the wind, always on the verge of extinction.
Although the undead could absorb the deadly aura of the world to slowly heal their own injuries, the process of recovery often took a long time.
With injuries as severe as the Frostbone Dragon's, it would take at least hundreds of years to fully recover.
But at that moment, Land Yuan's soul power increased.
The blood-red soul fire in his eye sockets soared, igniting with new vitality!
At that moment.
All the natural disaster slaves, no matter where they were or what they were doing, felt the change in their own strength.
They all turned to look in Land Yuan's direction, their gazes showing unprecedented respect and fanaticism!
Meanwhile, Land Yuan took the opportunity to immerse himself in the Sea of Alchemy.
Benefiting from his soul power, which far exceeded that of an ordinary alchemist, he seemed to possess an innate talent for alchemy.
Noroton held nothing back, passing on all of his lifelong alchemical knowledge and experience.
Thus.
Under Land Yuan's intense study and research.
Within half a year, he had surpassed Noroton and reached the level of a seventh level alchemist!
With his superior alchemical skills, Land Yuan continued to improve the alchemical matrices.
The elemental transmutation rituals were now risk-free!
[You used Elemental Transmutation to fuse the heart of a sixth-tier iron rhinoceros, increasing its affinity for metallic elements!]
[You have used Elemental Transmutation to fuse the heart of a seventh-tier Earth Dragon, increasing affinity with Earth elements!].
[You used Elemental Transmutation, fusing the blood of a Seventh Tier Mourning Sea Serpent, increasing the affinity with Water Elements!].
...
After successfully fusing the four primary elements.
He had evolved into a seventh-tier Dark Magus, and his mental strength had reached an unimaginable level.
Before, his mental strength was like a small pond.
Now, Land Yuan's mental strength was as vast as rivers and oceans, seemingly endless.
With his mental strength alone, he could easily overwhelm a ninth-level holy magus!
Especially since the size of the Natural Disaster Legion under his control had increased to several billion directly!
The scope of the Natural Disaster Legion's activities had once again expanded to cover an area of a thousand miles!
"My affinity with the elements has also undergone a qualitative change."
Land Yuan held out his hands and looked at them in astonishment.
As an ordinary skeleton before, even with the talent of [B-Grade Talent - Elemental Reconstruction], his affinity with the elements was abysmally low.
It would take ten days to half a month just to learn the most basic magic.
But now.
He seemed to be a favoured son of the elements by the heavens.
The elemental beings who had once ignored him as an ordinary skeleton now seemed to be his most loyal servants.
They came when called and left when dismissed.
With a single thought.
He could command the elements to do his bidding!
And as Land Yuan's soul power grew.
The strength of the other Natural Disaster Slaves also increased significantly!
When Land Yuan started his simulations.
The Natural Disaster Skeletons under his command were slow and clumsy, only able to understand simple instructions.
But now they could perform complex tasks effortlessly!
As one rises, others follow.
The other members of the Natural Disaster Group also benefited greatly.
Xiaobai's strength continued to grow, and Lucia seemed to become even more beautiful and captivating.
Just one look at her could send an ordinary skeleton into a frenzy.
If she were to be sent to the human world, she would definitely be a cataclysm-level sorceress!
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Land Yuan rarely allowed Lucia to venture outside.
After all, she could enchant even skeletons.
If other races saw her, who knew what trouble might ensue.
The Skeleton Tyrant reached the sixth level of power, and Noroton became a sixth-level Dark Sorcerer.
As for the Frostbone Dragon, not only had his injuries completely healed, but he had also grown considerably in size!
With a strong and robust army.
Land Yuan immediately decided to start a new round of recruitment!
...
Mount Cagal.
The world's first mountain range of magic, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometres, almost straddling the eastern and western ends of the continent.
The towering mountains stood as a natural barrier, separating the Bone Isles from the Lain Kingdom.
At that time, a disciplined army of skeletons moved silently through the dense forest.
This well-trained legion of skeletons was formidable, comparable to the elite forces of the Lain Kingdom!
They moved quickly, making as little noise as possible, as if searching for something in the mountains.
At last.
A skeleton scout paused as he spotted the entrance to a cave ahead, the target of this expedition.
Upon receiving the information, other skeletons quickly gathered from all directions, forming an impenetrable encirclement!
Near the cave entrance.
Four or five small goblins with long knives were dozing against a tree trunk.
But then the ground suddenly shook.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A huge goblin wielding a spiked club emerged from the depths of the cave.
Compared to the other smaller goblins, this leader had a massive and bulky body, standing at least two metres tall.
As he strutted around, showing off his belly, the fat jiggling, he exuded a strong sense of dominance.
At the sight of this goblin leader, the dozing guards snapped awake in fear.
"You useless lot, how dare you slack off on your duty!"
The giant goblin roared, smashing one of the guards' heads to a pulp with a swing of his club.
Red and white substances splattered everywhere, like a squashed watermelon.
"Squeak! Squelch! Squeak!"
The other goblins trembled in fear, kneeling and begging for mercy.
Just as the giant goblin leader was about to speak.
"Swoosh!"
A whistling sound echoed through the air.
A bone spear shot out like lightning, piercing the giant goblin's mouth from a distance and pinning its head to the rock face!
The headless body of the giant goblin still stood in place, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"
The other goblin guards screamed in horror, but before they could raise an alarm, they were drowned in a rain of arrows.
[First Level Undead Magic - Bone Spike!]
[First Tier Undead Magic - Rain of Bone Arrows!].
"The power of dark magic is truly formidable. No wonder these high-level mages are willing to become servants of darkness."
Not far away, among the skeletal army, Land Yuan nodded in satisfaction while holding a bone staff.
This goblin leader was at least a fourth-tier monster.
Yet he was killed by Land Yuan with a single blow.
Judging by the signs of activity nearby.
There must be a large number of goblins living in the cave.
Thinking about it.
Land Yuan immediately sent dozens of skeleton scouts to explore the depths of the cave.
