Having absorbed the marks of the dead along the way, Jiang Yuan now had a general understanding of this place.
The Butcher, also known as Bai Qi, was the third guardian of the Tomb of the Lord of War.
The Undead Swamp is a branch of the Earth Path, also known as the Earth's Sigh.
Xu Yuan once said, "The earth breathes and sustains ten thousand people." The people here are not the living; on the contrary, those who sustain the earth's sighs must be the living dead.
When a person dies, their soul does not disperse. The souls of ten thousand people reside in one place, unable to reincarnate, and thus suffer greatly just to give birth to that sigh of the earth.
There must be more than one such dwelling place for the undead. Given the size of the Undead Swamp, at least five dwelling places of the same or even larger size would be needed to extract the Earth's Sigh that can be used for resurrection.
As for the spirit of the palace, from the very beginning of the Epang Palace to the Fire of Life Tower, it has always been located in the Five Elements Palace, so there is a high probability that it will be in this sighing place of the earth.
"To commit such a heinous crime for the sake of one person's rebirth!"
Jiang Yuan's lips curled into a meaningful smile, a mocking smile, a disdainful mockery of the military leader.
In the eyes of the spirit of the palace, the Lord of War is an incomparably powerful god of war on the battlefield; but in Jiang Yuan's eyes at this moment, the Lord of War is a demon who does all kinds of evil for his own selfish desires.
"Gentlemen, I need your strength!"
Jiang Yuan sang softly, and an ancient melody entered the marks of the dead he had collected.
He wants to use the power of the Mark of the Dead to completely eliminate the Swamp of the Dead, and ideally, find out the spirit of the temple and find out everything!
As the Grim Reaper's chant resounded, the entire Swamp of the Dead resonated. The demons buried deep beneath the swamp saw the souls of their former companions. Those souls who could never escape were now restless. At this moment, no soul was afraid; they all responded to the call of the Grim Reaper's chant and entered the Grim Reaper's space.
"Ding! The number of deceased people saved in the Death God Space has reached 100,000 for the first time. Custom talent ability unlocked! Super talent template unlocked!"
The Grim Reaper's Hand emitted a chilling notification sound, but to Jiang Yuan it sounded like heavenly music.
His number of Dead Marks had long exceeded 200,000, but the Dead Marks obtained through the Grim Reaper's chant were fundamentally different from those he killed himself. The Dead Marks he harvested always harbored resentment towards him, and since the resentment could not be dispelled in a short time, they could not truly be used by him; however, the Dead Marks that were released through the Grim Reaper's chant were different, as they could truly be used by him.
"Current number of deceased: 272,650"
The first ray of sunlight dispelled the darkness and entered the Undead Swamp, bringing life to the swamp that had been perpetually shrouded in an eerie atmosphere for the first time.
"A divine being indeed, Lord Jiang Yuan is truly a divine being!"
He Yiping was utterly shocked by the changes in the Undead Swamp. If he had only acknowledged Jiang Yuan's strength before, he now acknowledged Jiang Yuan as a person.
To purify the entire swamp of the dead single-handedly—what immense power would one need to accomplish something so utterly impossible?
"See? I told you I hadn't gone far, but you didn't believe me!" Yu Tu angrily nudged Jiang Yuan's stomach with her elbow.
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and saw that they were indeed only ten kilometers away from the edge of the Undead Swamp, a distance that would only take them a few minutes.
"Unfortunately, that guy, Dian Ling, isn't here!"
Jiang Yuan had already traversed the entire Undead Swamp. If the Temple Spirit were here, he would definitely have been able to detect it. However, now that the Undead Swamp was almost gone and there was no trace of the Earth's Sigh or the Temple Spirit, the conclusion was obvious: this place was merely a small branch of the Earth's Sigh, and the true source of the Earth's Sigh was not here.
"It's so close, so why do we keep going around in circles and can't get out?" Yu Tu said, resting her chin on her hand, utterly puzzled.
"Let's go, let's get out of here!"
Jiang Yuan's mind wasn't on that at all; he was completely focused on the two abilities that Death's Hand had just activated.
Customize Talent Abilities: Consume Marks of the Dead to customize unique talent abilities.
Basic Talent - 100 Marks of the Dead, Intermediate Talent - 1,000 Marks of the Dead, Advanced Talent - 10,000 Marks of the Dead, Super Talent - 100,000 Marks of the Dead.
Super Talent Template: Upgrades a high-potential advanced talent into a super talent. Requires: Advanced Talent, Divine Bloodstone.
"As expected, even the Hand of Death has started to mess with my Divine Bloodstone!"
When Jiang Yuan saw the unlocked super talent template, he could only laugh and cry at the same time. At first, he didn't realize how important the Divine Bloodstone was, but the stronger he became, the more he discovered its indispensability. The embedding and replacement of weapon soul skills required the Divine Bloodstone, the initial enhancement required the Divine Bloodstone, and the replacement of talents that exceeded the rules also required the Divine Bloodstone. Now even the Hand of Death has started to use the Divine Bloodstone.
"No matter how much it costs, if we can really create a super talent, then it's not a loss at all!" Jiang Yuan sneered inwardly.
He placed Shadow Slaughter into the Grim Reaper's Hand and silently chanted, "Advanced Super Talent!"
"Unable to advance!"
The Grim Reaper's Hand reacted, continuing to display the message: "Shadow Slaughter does not possess the potential for a super talent and cannot form a super talent template!"
"Holy crap, are there any conditions or restrictions on this super talent?" Jiang Yuan was completely baffled. He recalled that his Devouring talent was an unexpected advancement to a super talent.
"Does it mean that only those with potential talents like Devouring can advance to super talents?"
"Note: Super talents are the ultimate version of most talents. If a talent cannot meet the advancement requirements, a super talent template cannot be formed!"
"Note: The host currently possesses the following talents that match the potential of a super talent: Heavenly Poison Body, Devouring, Regeneration, and Mind Control."
