My Monster Fuses Everything

Chapter 529: Chapter 364: Li Wenyuan’s Worries_2
 

Li Wenyuan was not at all evasive; he just smiled, happier than anyone else, “Do you know how long I have been preparing?”

The second phase of the Star Torch Project was thus determined by Li Wenyuan, probably in three days’ time.

Su Han, as the main torchbearer, had Li Wenyuan’s support. With his prestige, Su Han hardly dared to imagine what the scene would look like at that time.

However, before that, Su Han led Li Wenyuan through the Bug Quality Rift, transferred through Lingzhou Base, and came to South City for the first time.

Li Wenyuan was seriously injured, and although his condition was stable, he had not fully recovered, so he had to rely on Fifth-Order potions for treatment.

Su Han’s Fifth-Order potions naturally could not be used directly; they were specially made by Bai Qilan using mostly materials like Fifth-Order Apostles and Lizardmen.

The potency of the medicine was almost maximized, which could be fatal for Li Wenyuan.

Therefore, only Cao Yubao and Bai Qilan could properly examine Li Wenyuan’s body, then tailor treatment to provide the appropriate recovery potions.

Three days’ time, neither more nor less, was quite sufficient for Bai Qilan and his team, who already had some experience in treating such mental traumas.

During this time, Su Han once again returned to Fenglu Base.

In just over two days’ time, the Ice Ghost King had fully integrated the Soul of the Undead, consuming a full two hundred thousand corpses, finally completing the first Fusion.

[LV1 Soul of the Undead Fusion complete, Ice Ghost King’s skills advanced: LV2 Undead Control, LV2 Power of Death, and acquired skill LV1 Curse of the Dead Spirit]

With power climbing steadily, the Ice Ghost King’s aura became increasingly icy and the enhancement from the Power of Death was almost visible to the naked eye.

Around the body of the Ice Ghost King, a faint grey aura lingered, filled with decay and deathly stillness. Just the slightest touch of it on nearby bones caused them to quickly darken and then gradually decay.

“So, this curse formed from the Power of Death, without a targeted force or a stronger power, can only endure the pain of flesh decay and soul erosion until the curse energy is exhausted?”

Su Han’s eyes lit up; this ability was not ordinary – it was too wide-ranging and almost impossible to defend against.

“In the future, the Ice Ghost King could maybe act as an ‘assistant’ to sneak around.”

With a thought, Su Han flew to the Ice Ghost King’s side, then directed the Ice Ghost King to follow him closely. He looked up at Fenglu Mountain, then moved swiftly towards it.

The entire Fenglu Mountain range was completely shrouded in a dense white fog, like a heavy white cloth pressing down on the sprawling mountain range of tens of thousands of meters.

Eerie and oppressive, it was somewhat suffocating to behold.

Around the dense white fog, black mist was spreading continuously, expanding towards the edges of the Fenglu Mountain range.

The black mist did not dissipate with the death of the Ice Ghost King, because this Domain of Death was not his own creation.

Su Han came to investigate the situation here and see how it differed from the Pillar of the Blood Sea.

Stepping into the black mist, the icy aura immediately enveloped him, and the weak Power of Death slowly began to erode him.

The Ice Ghost King activated its ability, devouring these auras cleanly and guarding in front of Su Han.

In sight, the black fog was bewildering; withered trees and dried grass appeared in distorted shapes, like phantoms.

The whole Domain of Death was filled with a heavy air of death. Soon, rustling sounds were heard, and corpses emerged from the twisted shadows of the trees, then charged towards Su Han.

“Military uniforms?”

Su Han’s gaze sharpened. The military uniforms on the corpses were quite new.

He recognized them as from the Armed Forces, but he did not know whether they died in the previous battle or during exploration.

“Rest in peace.”

The Ice Ghost King summoned ice spears that instantly pierced the corpses’ bodies, quickly encasing them in ice.

Su Han felt no great pang of grief; death was the most common in the post-apocalyptic world.

He looked towards the deep forest, then continued his exploration with the Ice Ghost King, heading straight for the central area.

The deeper they went, the more members of the Undead Race suddenly appeared.

Some were skeletal, while others looked like corpses – all were slowly gathering towards the center.

The Ice Ghost King used Undead Control to take command of these creatures. Apart from the clearly identified Armed Forces corpses, the rest formed into an Undead Legion numbering three to four hundred, sweeping grandly into the valley area.

Ice covered the stones, while dead trees and barren grass were broken or trampled upon frequently, with chaos all around and frost covering everything.

This was where Li Wenyuan had previously been blocked by the One-eyed Ice Ghost and suffered losses of Corpse Witches. Now the traces of the battle were still here.

Su Han had arrived at this location and could already feel the source of the Power of Death, right beyond this valley.

Roar

A low roar sounded as a large number of Skeleton Beasts suddenly appeared on either side of the valley, eying Su Han hungrily.

There were no small number of them; nearly a thousand heads were poking out on both sides of the valley.

“Annoying.”

With a glance, Su Han saw that the Skeleton Beasts had already launched their attack, rushing down from the valley.

At that moment, the Ice Ghost King stepped forward, and the Deathly Ice was immediately unleashed, sending an even more terrifying frost sweeping towards the Skeleton Beasts.

In an instant, the valley was frozen over, and the Skeleton Beasts had no chance of breaking free, sealed like ice sculptures within the ice layers on both sides.

Passing through the valley, a cold, bone-chilling wind immediately started blowing around, with dark blue ice nearly covering everything in the vicinity.

There were no Undead, nor any other creatures; the only ones in the area were Su Han and the Ice Ghost King.

A dark blue glow enveloped the entire area, emanating from a huge Crystal about a meter in length.

The Crystal was dark blue, emitting cold air and the Power of Death.

Lines resembling blood vessels reached out from the void, and like roots, they penetrated into the Crystal, continuously pumping Spiritual Energy into it.

No, it wasn’t quite right to call it pumping; rather, the Crystal was relentlessly Devouring the power from the Great Blood Sea, transforming it into the terrifying coldness and Power of Death, endlessly expanding the Domain of Death.

‘The larger the Domain of Death’s expansion, the greater the impact on the surrounding spatial barriers, the easier it is for the Crystal to steal Energy from the Great Blood Sea, huh? It’s a cycle.’

Su Han’s gaze gradually grew colder; this kind of cycle was no good news, meaning that the Domain of Death’s erosion of the real world wasn’t much weaker than that of the Pillar of the Blood Sea.

That is, minus the deep divers from the Great Blood Sea, those Fallen existences that were undying due to certain rules.

But the current Domain of Death would likewise erode at a rapid pace, birthing new members of the Undead Race, which was also a threat.

Su Han’s eyes flickered slightly; the Crystal did have a physical form, and was different from the never-ending waters of the Great Blood Sea, perhaps Fusion could be attempted.

The Ice Ghost King leaped forward, the cold air emanating from its body directly hitting it without causing the slightest disturbance.

If ordinary people approached, they would likely turn into ice sculptures.

But the Ice Ghost King was a Great Demon that played with cold air and the Power of Death, how could it possibly fall to such effects.

The Ice Ghost King’s massive palm pressed against the Crystal, the originally blue parts rapidly withdrawn, and astonishingly merged into its body.

Su Han watched in surprise, as it seemed that the blue was indeed the power of the Ice Ghost King.

In a blink, the blue dissipated, and then the entire Crystal turned pitch black, exuding an extremely dense Power of Death.

[Discovery of mergeable material: Foolish Dead God’s Power, proceed with Fusion?]

Divine Power?

Surprise flashed in Su Han’s eyes; this thing was actually Divine Power.

Fusion

Without any hesitation, the Ice Ghost King immediately initiated Fusion, enveloping the entire Foolish Dead God’s Power.

Su Han moved even faster, summoning the Blood Prison Dragon and the Blood Sea Ancestral Tree.

Blood Domain!

Engraving Seal!

The two Apostles employed their Skills, isolating the area and at the same time suppressing the aura of the Foolish Dead God’s Power as much as possible.

Su Han wasn’t sure of the effect, but it was better to be safe than sorry; this was, after all, the first time he had truly seen ‘Divine Power’ mentioned.

The concept of God, in Su Han’s mind, perhaps only the Demon God with its giant eyeball, deserved such a title.

And now, this so-called Foolish Dead, could it be the deity of the Undead Race?

A deity that fools death?
