After browsing through the Dread Lord's memories.
Lu Yuan fell silent.
The Will of the Abyss, the Immortal Emon, and the Will of the Magic World - what exactly was the inverted triangle relationship between the three of them?
Even the relationships between men and women in many melodramatic novels were not this complicated!
No wonder Emon was so confident and dared to provoke the Will of the Wandering Heavens.
After all, a small manipulation could cause a huge reaction.
Although Emon was an ordinary human, his life and death were linked to the survival of two worlds.
If he died, both the magical world and the Abyssal plane would be buried with him.
"But wouldn't that create a vicious circle?"
Lu Yuan was deeply worried.
If he did not kill Emon, he would only become bolder and continue to consume the power of the Magic World's will.
But if he killed him, the two lower levels would also be destroyed.
Especially after two thousand years of erosion and fusion between them.
The three of them were so intertwined that even the will of Heaven could not separate them.
No wonder this was the most difficult level, because it was an inherently insoluble problem!
"No! Emon just took advantage of the situation and used a BUG, but his own power isn't that powerful."
Lu Yuan suddenly realised something.
As long as he could break the parasitic relationship between Emon and the Will of the Magic World.
Then all problems would be solved!
Under normal circumstances.
It was almost impossible to force Emon to stop interfering with the Will of the Magic World.
But Lu Yuan had the Cataclysmic Undead!
Moreover, after being blessed by the Will of the Magic World, he also gained the ability to strip souls and the origin of the world!
Thinking about this, Lu Yuan's mind cleared and he determined his next plan.
First step, subdue Emon.
Second step, help the will of the Magic World consume the will of the Abyssal,
Third step, merge the Magic World and the Abyssal Plane into one!
As for how to subdue Emon, Lu Yuan's method was as simple as it was brutal.
Kill!
From the memories of the Dread Lord, Lu Yuan had already learned.
The Holy Light Knights were a group of parasites, tools used by Emon to steal the origin of the world.
Which meant.
The more Holy Light Knights he killed, the more power the will of the magical world would regain.
Then he could upset the balance between the three and weaken Emon even more!
Hell Demon Legion? Kill them!
Holy Light Knights? Kill!
Abyss Vanguard Corps? Kill!
In short.
Let the blood of the Holy Light Empire flow like a river!
Lu Yuan had endured for so long, but he could finally let go!
Like this.
He personally led the expedition.
The Cataclysmic Legion surged out of the Bone Wasteland, conquering cities along the way, with the ultimate goal being the capital of the Holy Light Empire!
In terms of individual combat power, the Cataclysmic Legion wasn't all that formidable.
But in terms of large-scale warfare, the Cataclysmic Legion was definitely on a BUG level.
As the saying goes.
Before an army goes on an expedition, its supply lines must be secured.
For an army, supplies and logistics often determine the outcome of a battle.
But the Cataclysmic Legion never got sick, never got tired, and didn't even need to eat or drink!
Other elite forces had to worry about casualties and replenishing manpower.
But the Cataclysmic Legion grew stronger with each battle!
Most importantly.
The Cataclysmic Thralls were fearless and loyal.
There was no need to worry about mutiny in the army, betrayal by subordinates, or being turned by the enemy, and the heart of the Cataclysmic Legion was always united!
No matter how many casualties they suffered, they never backed down.
It was no exaggeration to say.
This was the most perfect and powerful invincible army in the history of the magical world!
When the Cataclysmic Legion left the Bone Wasteland and entered the borders of the Kingdom of Laine.
The prosperous borderlands were already devastated, transformed into a hell on earth.
Countless hell demons still roamed the cities.
Lu Yuan, of course, showed no mercy to these demons.
He accepted them all and turned them into Cataclysmic Thralls.
In almost every city he went to, the numbers of the Cataclysmic Legion skyrocketed!
One billion!
Fifteen billion!
Twenty billion!
...
In a matter of days, the number of members of the Cataclysmic Legion has surpassed the monumental three billion mark!
Along the way.
With overwhelming force, the Cataclysmic Legion easily conquered all the cities along the way.
Whether it was the Imperial Legions or the Holy Light Knights, they were all overwhelmed by the flood of skeletons!
Thousands of Holy Light Knights were killed, even though the Origin within them was so weak that it was almost negligible.
But grain by grain, these origins were accumulating, greatly increasing Lu Yuan's power!
Meanwhile, the number of Cataclysmic Knights continued to rise, reaching a staggering five hundred thousand!
In addition.
Lu Yuan also harvested thirty-seven Beamon Behemoths from the dungeons of some of the nobles!
Of course, these Beamons were still in their infancy and couldn't be compared to the Cataclysmic Beamons.
But with the strengthening effect of the Legion's expedition, the strength of these juvenile Beamons was no less than that of the adult Beamons!
However, despite the Cataclysmic Legion's formidable size, the high-ranking and influential figures of the Holy Light Empire were still kept in the dark.
All information and messages were intercepted by Lu Yuan's spy network.
Even the Holy Light capital was crawling with Lu Yuan's Cataclysmic minions.
It was only when the army approached the capital.
That the Holy Light Empire finally felt the fear of being under the control of the Cataclysmic Legion.
"Those bastards from the Kingdom of Laine have actually let a group of skeletons reach the gates of the capital!"
"Why was such a serious matter not reported earlier?"
Upon hearing the news, Louis XIX roared with uncontrollable rage.
But he, who had been engrossed in revelry and pleasure, had completely forgotten about it not long before.
Following the orders of the Undying Emon, he had ordered all kingdoms and cities to take in fleeing refugees.
This had turned many cities into ghost towns.
Otherwise, even with the strength of Lu Yuan's Cataclysmic Legion, they wouldn't have been able to reach the capital of the Holy Light Empire in just over a dozen days.
"A group of skeleton troops dares to challenge the dignity of the Empire; this is a great humiliation for the Empire!"
"I demand that all the Knights of the Holy Light be assembled, along with all the ninth-tier Holy Mages, and march out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Louis XIX shouted angrily through clenched teeth.
After receiving his orders.
The Supreme Commander of the Holy Light, Vulkan, did not act immediately. Instead, he went to the royal mausoleum to seek the opinion of their ancestor, Emon.
He knew that the Cataclysmic Legion was too formidable, too much for the Knights of the Holy Light to withstand.
But Emon was at a critical moment of merging with the Abyssal Will and ignored his request.
Helpless, Vulcan had no choice but to follow Louis XIX's orders.
Though the Knights of the Holy Light stationed in various kingdoms had all been annihilated by Lu Yuan.
The Holy Light Empire, which had stood strong for two thousand years, still had a terrible foundation.
Large-scale teleportation magic arrays have been activated throughout the capital.
In a flash of light.
The legions stationed throughout the magical world were urgently recalled.
In just half a day.
Vulcan had gathered four hundred thousand Knights of Holy Light, a hundred thousand Royal Gryphon Corps, over a million Imperial Guards and over eighty Dragon Knights!
Furthermore.
The Empire's Magic Academy had dispatched thousands of high-ranking mages and over thirty ninth-level Holy Magi.
Each Holy Magus possessed a devastating power.
And in this one case, the Holy Light Empire had mobilised over thirty of them!
Even more surprising.
The Holy Light Empire had secretly tamed over eighty dragons!
