The dragon of fortune blocked the deathly aura of the dead, but Jiang Yuan knew this was not a long-term solution. As long as he was inside the underground palace, the deathly aura of the dead would continue to flow. Only by addressing the root cause could he prevent the erosion of this deathly aura from spreading.
"Sword of Annihilation, activate!"
Jiang Yuan swallowed five more Great Rejuvenation Pills and, dragging his exhausted body, broke through the fifteenth floor.
He hadn't finished killing the undead yet, but time was running out; he had to go straight for the eighteenth floor!
This time, he will not condense a simplified version of the Sword of Destruction; he will use the strongest secret technique of Blade Storm to break through the sixteenth floor.
Boom! The undead on the sixteenth floor had not yet appeared, but the restrictions on this floor had already been broken.
All the undead that hadn't completely died on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors rushed into the seventeenth floor, and the undead on the seventeenth floor also appeared due to the death energy, along with the assimilated human undead.
Everywhere you look, you see familiar faces: the Dark Fang's duo, Deadly and Shadow; the Desert Eagle's six-man squad; the Luo Nan five-man squad from Fujiang Academy; and many other incomplete squads like the Falling Maple Squad and the Mountain Fox Squad. In addition to mercenaries, the Zodiac Squad of the Northern City Allied Forces has also appeared here.
On this floor, almost everyone else was gathered together.
"That's quite a grand gesture!" Jiang Yuan landed in the crowd, surrounded by people who harbored murderous intent towards him.
"Boss!" the little dumpling said in a trembling voice.
Jiang Yuan turned around and saw the little dumpling already entangled in black energy. "A dragon of fortune!"
A portion of the dragon of fortune surrounding Yu Tu was transferred to Xiao Tuanzi. With the protection of the fortune of the Nine Provinces, Xiao Tuanzi's condition improved slightly.
"Boss, the deathly aura here is too dense. The fortune of the Nine Provinces won't protect us for long!" the little dumpling said in a low voice.
Both Xiao Tuanzi and Yu Tu are people who can resist absorbing death energy. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan was able to use the Nine Provinces' fortune to protect them. Otherwise, if Xiao Pang were to frantically absorb death energy to boost his strength, the Nine Provinces' fortune would be completely useless.
"I didn't ask you to save me!" Yu Tu was also in bad shape, but she still stubbornly argued.
"Don't flatter yourself. I saved you because I was afraid you'd be turned into an undead and then seduce me!" Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly, pursing his lips.
"Can you watch your mouth! Even if I, An Xiaoyu, become a ghost, I will never seduce you again!" Yu Tu said angrily, clenching her fists.
"That would be best, otherwise, facing an undead skeleton, I'm sorry, but my straight male aesthetic can't agree!" Jiang Yuan said something that could infuriate someone.
Yu Tu remained silent after being humiliated, but in her heart she had already cursed this guy a thousand times over!
"The Sword of Annihilation!"
Jiang Yuan wanted to push through to the eighteenth level, the last level of the underground palace, but as soon as the Sword of Destruction was formed, countless undead surged up, and his plan to break through the restrictions failed.
"Since you want to die, then don't blame me!" Jiang Yuan's Five Elements Ring has two minutes left, and he wants to make the most of those two minutes.
"The Mirror of Light and Moon - The Judgment of the Bright Moon!"
"The Five Elements Domain!"
"Hurricane Sword Domain!"
"God-Slaying Spear - Supreme Ruler!"
A massive aura appeared, stunning all the undead for half a second to a second. In that short time, the Hurricane Sword Domain swept up and began to slaughter the undead.
The Soul Refining Pot was not idle either; as soon as a spirit died, it would open its mouth wide and begin to frantically suck in death energy.
"Thirty seconds left!"
Jiang Yuan kept calculating the time of the Five Elements Ring, because once the Five Elements Ring stopped, his combat power would plummet. Although his bloodline had been renewed several times and was no longer afraid of the backlash from the Five Elements Ring, the decline in combat power was real.
"The Sword of Annihilation!"
In that instant, three Blade of Destruction appeared, and each Blade of Destruction swept away the undead as soon as it appeared, with almost no undead able to withstand it for even a moment.
"Thirty seconds!" Jiang Yuan could already sense the fluctuations in power within the massive Five Elements Ring, a final burst of energy before the ring ended.
If we don't break through the eighteen layers of the underworld now, when will we ever break through!
"Not strong enough!" Jiang Yuan took out a blood-red pill, a pill with extremely severe side effects, called the Soul Burning Pill. "Soul energy, stir up!"
After swallowing the pill, Jiang Yuan felt all the energy in his body ignite, and all he wanted now was to find a point of explosion.
"Sword of Destruction, Slash!"
All the blades stopped in mid-air. The three swords of destruction trembled violently and then overlapped. The next second, they merged into one and struck the weakest point observed by the Heavenly Eye.
"Open it for me!"
A deathly stillness suddenly spread out, an aura that seemed to penetrate the depths of the soul, instilling the greatest fear in all souls.
The eighteenth level was opened, and standing in this cold and desolate space were three spirits.
"The spirit of the palace!" Jiang Yuan was filled with indignation when he saw one of the spirits. This was the same person he had 'encountered' several times in the tomb of the Lord of War.
"You really like to make things harder for yourself. Since you want to die on the eighteenth floor, then so be it!" Bai Qi, standing next to the spirit hall, waved his hand, and the entire eighteenth floor began to emit pitch-black death energy from the ground. In the blink of an eye, a dense army of undead appeared.
"I'm so damn grateful to you guys!" Jiang Yuan almost cursed. He knew very well that neither the Palace Spirit nor Bai Qi would kill him here, because he was very likely the body possessed by the Lord of War. Therefore, no one in the Lord of War's tomb dared to kill him before entering the inner hall.
"You're too kind!" Bai Qi grinned, showing off his bright white teeth.
Jiang Yuan understood that although Bai Qi seemed amiable, the dozens or even hundreds of undead around him were not going to communicate with him in a friendly manner; each and every one of them was after his life.
"Didn't you want me to solidify my path of killing? Then I'll show you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Elements Domain trembled violently. Jiang Yuan detonated the Five Elements Domain, and this time the detonation was extremely thorough. At the same time as the Five Elements Domain exploded, the energy in his body also began to burn. The blood-red sword blade blew on all the undead present like an autumn wind.
One by one, the soul flames were extinguished under the storm of sword blades, but the storm showed no signs of stopping; on the contrary, it became increasingly out of control.
The blade, propelled by the self-destruction power of the Five Elements Domain, was out of control. In the final few seconds of the Five Elements Ring, Jiang Yuan could only hear the sound of the Hand of Death continuously collecting the marks of the dead. At this moment, he had no desire for life or death. Life seemed to have become a number in his eyes, and killing was just a means to increase that number.
This is a very bad omen, because if even he loses his reverence for life, then the cycle of reincarnation constructed by the Grim Reaper will collapse on its own.
"Die, all of you!"
The incompetence that led to the loss of control of the situation transformed into the most brutal slaughter. The Five Elements Realm was like a world-destroying lotus flower, and only a few could survive on this lotus.
Little Fatty, Desire Rabbit, Heavenly Dragon, Fire Cloud, and two divine beasts.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Applause rang out from the side, and Bai Qi appeared with a cold expression, showing no remorse for the large number of undead dying.
