“However, while these cannons can threaten most dark creatures, they are definitely useless against fallen liches!” Jian Mengyi thought for a moment and then spoke up again.
The seventh-tier beings are called demigods because their powerful bodies make them immune to many common attacks. This terrifying barrage of fire may seem impressive, but it may have little effect on the fallen liches.
"No rush, we need to clear out the troublesome minnows first! And look, the thing that threatens a demigod is here, isn't it?" Ye Chen said with a smile, while looking up at the starry sky. Another star gate opened, and this time, what was pushed out was a huge door...frame.
Yes, it's a door frame without a door; you can even see the other side of the stargate through the middle.
Yet, this technologically advanced door frame gave Jian Mengyi a slight feeling of unease.
"This? What is this?" Jian Mengyi asked in shock. The impact Ye Chen had had on her today was too great. When exactly did Ye Chen, who was almost always with her, arrange all these things?
“Eternal Silence!” Ye Chen said solemnly, “The energy cannon that Fatty recently developed, although shaped like a stargate, is actually an energy-gathering barrel in the middle, made from the bones of a star beast. Each shot requires 10,000 sixth-order energy crystals, and theoretically it can pose a threat to all seventh-order dark creatures. Moreover, a stargate can only be used for a maximum of three attacks before it becomes unusable!”
"Hiss~~~" Jian Mengyi gasped, both shocked by the power of Yongji and amazed by its exorbitant cost.
Where can you find materials like the skeleton of a half-step seventh-tier star beast? The number of star beasts that can be found so far is not large, not to mention the other materials that Ye Chen did not mention.
Most importantly, the Eternal Silence created with such materials requires 10,000 sixth-tier energy crystals to attack. Even if each crystal is worth 100,000 merit points, that's a whopping 1 billion merit points. The enormous resource consumption is truly terrifying.
Moreover, even with such enormous resources spent on its construction and use, it can only be used three times before becoming completely unusable. Such a level of wear and tear is simply too exaggerated.
Of course, if it can really deal a fatal blow to a seventh-tier creature, then it's still worth it.
The consumption of ten thousand sixth-order energy crystals, though not necessarily recouped with a single shot, can save countless lives and mitigate losses. Allowing a dark god to roam the starry sky would be devastating to all life and lords.
"Boom~~~" As Ye Chen's voice fell, Yongji began to gather energy. Endless energy condensed in the door frame. Only then did Jian Mengyi believe that this was really an energy cannon, and a powerful one at that.
The energy consumed by Eternal Silence is enormous, and the time required to gather energy is also considerable. Ye Chen's evacuated kin have already gathered near the star gate of Eternal Silence to prevent it from being attacked and destroyed by dark creatures.
On the other side, the endless bombardment finally slowed down, and the dark creatures that had been buried by the bombardment were finally exposed. The scattered limbs and remains were horrifying, and the entire starry sky was filled with the corpses of the dark creatures.
"You! You deserve to die!" The Fallen Lich's hoarse voice finally rang out. A semi-transparent magic shield stood in front of him, protecting himself and nearly ten thousand sixth-tier creatures around him. The power of a seventh-tier demigod was fully displayed at this moment.
"I don't know if I'm dead or not, but you're probably about to die!" Ye Chen sneered from within the territory. The fallen lich couldn't hear him anymore, but the extremely threatening eternal silence in the starry sky made his soul fire tremble slightly. Within that star gate, it actually sensed an aura powerful enough to kill it again.
However, Ye Chen had calculated all the timing perfectly. The moment the gunfire subsided and the Fallen Lich's figure was fully revealed, Yongji had already locked onto it.
At this moment, Eternal Silence had completed its energy gathering, and the dazzling light burst forth the instant the Fallen Lich raised its head.
"No! Impossible!" the Fallen Lich roared, but the energy beam of Eternal Silence had already reached him. The magic shield that had not yet completely dissipated shattered in response, and the energy beam directly pierced through his soul fire, along with the surrounding sixth-tier creatures, which dissipated into the starry sky.
"Dead? Is he dead?" Jian Mengyi and Ye Chen couldn't help but think, their hands hanging at their sides clenched into fists, anticipating the possible outcome.
"Roar~~~" At this moment, the Candle Dragon, which had been standing beside Eternal Silence, suddenly roared and rushed towards the Fallen Lich. Its figure flashed across the starry sky like a white horse galloping past, leaving only a streak of white light.
"Boom~~~" As the Candle Dragon swept past, the Fallen Lich's skeleton, riddled with holes, shattered. Not only that, but a humanoid soul was also pulled back from the Candle Dragon's long tail. Without a doubt, this was the soul of the Fallen Lich.
"NICE!" Upon seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The power of Eternal Silence had been proven, causing enormous damage to the Fallen Lich's body and soul fire, even enough to be fatal. At this moment, the Fallen Lich's most important resurrection ability was also restricted by the Candle Dragon's Soul Binding.
In fact, the lich's true form is very fragile. As long as one can break through the endless sea of the dead, dodge the opponent's endless magic, and rush to his side, even if one's strength is inferior, one can easily kill him.
The difficulty lies in the soul casket possessed by liches. They store a portion of their soul in the soul casket, and as long as the soul casket remains intact, they can resurrect infinitely with this portion of their soul. Therefore, the soul casket is a lich's ultimate possession, and usually only they themselves know its location.
However, the Candle Dragon's ability to bind souls made it difficult for the true spirit of the lich to escape.
As long as this soul is immortal, he cannot be resurrected through the Soul Box. Only by purifying the dark energy within it and then casting the soul into the cycle of reincarnation can he be a hero again in eighteen years.
Moreover, because of the existence of the Soul Box, he also has the possibility of being resurrected again. As long as the Soul Box is retrieved, Ye Chen's territory will have another demigod-level lich!
Ye Chen was even very curious about what a lich with a soul box and who had been reborn through reincarnation would look like.
