Chapter 492: Chapter 324: Undead Scourge, Wave vs Wave (4K)_3

…

“What a powerful technique!”

Elf Taeli and Giant Qiang’er, being seasoned Fourth-order strongmen, recognized the extraordinary nature of this magic barrier at a glance, “This technique could probably even block a Legendary Realm being for some time. It seems this Vitality Force is truly laying all its cards on the table, ready to fight to the death.”

“However, as powerful as this technique is, it’s not very effective against a large tidal wave of attackers.”

It could block legends, but not the tide, not even for a moment.

After all, when the tide rolls in, with thousands upon thousands of attacks raining down, it would drain the entire barrier more than one or two legends would.

Mu Yuan, being half an expert, naturally understood this.

In his field of vision, monsters with blood-red eyes and fierce faces were closing in. Even more visible red mist began to drift between heaven and earth, growing increasingly ominous.

It might take a few hundred more seconds for the monster tide to surge up the mountain and reach the pale blue barrier, but within a little over a hundred seconds they could reach the foot of Wolf Head Mountain.

There lay Tianyuan Territory’s first line of defense.

The Treeman defense line!

At this moment, the forest was reviving, ancient trees, thick and robust, were coming to life, faces emerged on their branches, which whipped wildly, and their trunks grew taller piece by piece.

The Treeman Troops had officially bared their fangs.

A batch of Forest Guardians, meticulously created by Tree Demon Granny, was also ready and waiting.

Though the Treemen could grow stronger through battle, their numbers were a mere trifle compared to the monster tide, and even with their capability of battle-nourished growth, basic logic had to be considered; they couldn’t withstand so many, so fierce a wave.

They were likely to be torn apart and devoured by the relentless onslaught of monsters before they had the chance to transform the absorbed nutrients.

Mu Yuan was of course aware of this too.

He had been preparing.

Setting up the altar, casting spells!

He stood on the city wall, now entered into the Undead template, drawing upon Duo Lai’s energy — borrowing legendary power with a mortal’s body had its limitations, far from reaching 80% effectiveness, but at this moment he could also be deemed a Half-step Legend.

A true Half-step Legend!

One of the shortcuts to breaking through to Legend: as long as part of the body enters the Legendary Realm, the Lord’s own chances of advancing will greatly increase.

Mu Yuan did not intend to join the battle himself.

Energy surged within him, as if it would burst his body apart.

Around him hovered hundreds of beautiful Soul Crystals, many of which were now dimmed, their energy fully drawn out.

He held an Excellence-grade staff, lifting it high into the sky.

The remaining Soul Crystals around him shattered completely.

“Rise again, my undead!”

At the same moment,

Far within the fortress, Emperor Dead Bone held Wailing Death, his deep voice echoing between heaven and earth.

Energy flowed through him as well. He also borrowed the power of Holy Mountain, drawing the energy of thousands of undead, converging it with the power of a pile of Soul Crystals around him.

All of it, poured into the skill he had been charging for hours.

“Strategic Skill: Death Legion”!

The last time Dead Bone used this skill at full strength was during the last invasion.

During the Lord Trial against the Monster Tribe’s attack. Every other time Dead Bone used it sparingly, for this strategic skill required Krypton Gold.

Back then, Dead Bone was still a minor Professional level, far from unleashing the full potential of this strategic skill.

Now, Emperor Dead Bone had a bit of capability.

Under the bolstering of being a Fourth-order Peak, with several hundred times his backup energy, and the Epic Three-Star Rank, the silent undead began to revive upon the earth.

Ghastly light spread over the land.

Bleached bones broke through the soil, Skeletons crawled out from beneath the ground.

Then came the second, the twentieth, the two hundredth, the two thousandth, the twenty thousandth…

Skeleton Soldiers, ghosts, Ghouls, Abominations, Death Knights, and various other undead rose from underground or were shaped from the dark mist, appearing in the world.

The monsters were coming like a flood from all directions.

But the resurrecting undead were also like a flood, showing the world what a true calamity was.
