"Emong kidnapped the will of the magic world?"
Lu Yuan shuddered at the words.
The news was so unbelievable that he thought the Fearsome Demon King was lying.
But then Lu Yuan changed his mind.
Emong was also an enemy of the Fearsome Demon King, so he had no reason to deceive him.
If Emong was killed, would the whole world be buried with him?
But if what the Fearsome Demon King said was true, then this was truly an insoluble problem!
How had Emong managed it?
"Is it related to the secret arts of the Holy Light? Or is it for some other reason?" Lu Yuan's empty eye sockets flickered with a blood-red soul fire, and he felt very worried about this.
"Human, I admit that you have some skills, but if you want to deal with that madman Emong, it's almost the same as seeking death."
"Not to mention, the Holy Light Empire has existed for two thousand years, amassing unimaginable resources and power."
"Using your strength alone to fight the entire Holy Light Empire is nothing but a fool's dream!" The Fearsome Demon King pretended to offer friendly advice.
In reality, he was eager for Lu Yuan to pick a fight with Emong.
Seeing his fake concern, Lu Yuan thought of something else.
Since the Fearsome Demon King knew that Emong couldn't be killed, why would he risk being wiped out by the will of the magical world to forcibly bring down a soul avatar?
Not to mention.
Five hundred years ago, he had gone to great lengths to tear open a deep rift, causing millions of demonic forces to invade the magical world.
In the end, he was defeated by three hundred thousand Holy Light Knights and retreated back to the Abyssal Plane in disgrace.
This indicated that Emong definitely had something that the Fearsome Demon King wanted.
Therefore.
The Fearsome Demon King would knowingly do the impossible, risking his own life and the lives of millions of demons!
"Could this have something to do with the survival of the Abyssal Plane?" Thinking about the information the Fearsome Demon King had revealed earlier, Lu Yuan entertained another speculation.
But he didn't rush to find out.
This matter was of great importance, and judging from the Fearsome Demon King's unflappable attitude just now, even if Lu Yuan asked, he wouldn't say anything.
"The Fearsome Demon King still possesses a bloodline secret art. If I push too hard, it might act against me."
"And it also has a utility value. If I let him die now, it would be a waste."
With this in mind, Lu Yuan decided to keep the Fearsome Demon King for now.
After all, it was already weakened by the erosion of the Cataclysm Mark and couldn't cause much trouble.
"And Zheng Xiaonan and the others have a lot of information, so they can be imprisoned for now."
"The immediate task is to increase the size of the Undead Legion and capture some Holy Light Knights to study the power of Holy Light!"
The waters of the magical world were deep.
Failing to understand Emong's true situation, Lu Yuan decided to let the Bone Tyrant take the lead while he quietly watched from behind!
Lu Yuan ordered Norton and the others to bring the Fearsome Demon King back and imprison him in the Blood Castle.
Then.
Millions of Cataclysm troops surged out again, sweeping through the entire Bone Wasteland!
Since Lu Yuan had entered the demigod realm, the strength of the Cataclysm Legion had skyrocketed and undergone earth-shattering changes.
The Cataclysm Legion crushed everything in its path, finding no worthy opponent!
However, in the process of expanding the army.
The Cataclysm Legion met with resistance from many undead tribes, but faced with the endless skeletal army, they all fell to the Iron Riders of the Headless Knights!
Subterranean spider demons, stone golems, bloodthirsty bats, poisonous corpses, frostbone dragons, undead witches, dark mages...
Almost every day, thousands of undead and dark creatures join the Cataclysm Legion to become Lu Yuan's servants!
Especially with the addition of new members, the number and strength of the Cataclysm Legion skyrocketed once again!
"You killed a level 5 Dark Mage and gained a level 5 minion!"
"You killed a level 7 Frostbone Dragon, gaining a level 7 minion!
"You cleared a large undead maze, gaining a hundred thousand Cataclysm minions!"
...
One billion!
Three billion!
In just half a month, the Cataclysm Legion swept across the Bone Wasteland with unstoppable force.
And the number of servants under Lu Yuan finally surpassed ten billion!
However, the Bone Wasteland was located near the Abyssal Rift, the boundary between life and death.
This place was special, with a large number of Imperial scouts and informants.
The rapid and mad expansion of the Cataclysm Legion naturally caught the attention of the Holy Light Empire.
"The Bone Wasteland has undergone unexpected changes, giving birth to a new Undead Lord?"
"Who is this Undead Lord, and where did he come from to unite the entire Bone Wasteland in just half a month?"
"No, this is no ordinary matter; it has already threatened the security of the Empire and must be reported to the Lord of the Knights immediately!"
Like snowflakes, a large amount of news and information poured into Blackstone City from all directions.
...
Inside Blackstone City.
In a magnificent castle decorated with gems and agate.
A lively and extraordinary banquet was being held.
The guests qualified to attend this banquet were all the nobles and elite of Blackstone City.
At the banquet.
Beautiful women were in abundance, and the guests gathered.
Large quantities of fine wine and food were served like flowing water.
Many slender and attractive beast ear maidens shuttled through the crowd, obediently serving the guests, offering food and pouring wine.
It was no exaggeration to say.
The scale and class of this banquet was no less than that of some royal receptions in minor kingdoms.
For the host of this banquet was none other than the commander of the Holy Light Knights stationed in Blackstone City.
Count Klaus!
And in the centre of the spacious hall, a large pool, hundreds of metres long and wide, had been specially dug.
Inside the pool was a large reef and various decorations.
But what was really remarkable was this.
Count Klaus clapped his hands.
A strange creature, half man and half fish, immediately emerged from the water, quickly climbed onto the reef and began to sing a song.
When it appeared, it immediately attracted the amazement of many guests.
In the magical world, such half-human, half-fish creatures were known as mermaids or sea nymphs.
They were said to have beautiful looks and voices, and often used their songs to lure passing fleets or sailors, causing ships to run aground and sink.
The mermaid in front of them was exceptional, with an outstanding appearance and a graceful figure, even among the mermaid race she was a rare beauty.
But she had many whip marks on her body, her once brilliant scales now dull and lacking in lustre.
Many of her scales had fallen off, leaving glaring wounds and scabs that made her look very dishevelled and weak.
Although she sang softly and was in poor condition, she still wore a heavy iron collar around her neck.
But her singing was still incredibly captivating.
Like tears and lamentations, sad and enchanting.
All the guests present were enchanted by her beautiful voice, unable to resist falling under her spell.
It wasn't until the song ended.
That the people gradually came to their senses and offered endless praise and worship.
