Chapter 504 Origin Potion
This is the aura of a fifth-tier being; the Corpse Lord has actually succeeded in breaking through.

Ye Mo's pupils widened as he stared in astonishment at the Corpse Lord who had unleashed his Monarch Domain at the bottom of the valley.

Although he knew that with the Corpse Lord's talent and abilities, the chances of successfully breaking through to the fifth rank were not low, the previous failures of other undead to break through still made him not have much hope for this breakthrough.

And just like that, they broke through.

After feeling both surprised and delighted, Ye Mo began his investigation, looking at the new Corpse Lord.

Perhaps because the Corpse Lord had just broken through to the fifth rank, its aura was still somewhat unstable. Therefore, when probing the other party's attribute panel, it did not take as long as other fifth-rank extraordinary beings, but presented the attribute panel in a short while.

Corpse Lord

Growth level: King level 51 (level )
Race level: King level 58 (level )
Attribute: Undead
Domain: Corruption Aura (Boost Lv5, Suppression Lv5, Corruption Lv4)

Life strength: 1450
Energy Strength: 1000
Soul Strength: 1000
Talents: King-level Life Lv2, Super-tier Soul Resistance...

Skill: King-level Corruption Power lv4, Super-tier...

……

After breaking through to the fifth tier, the Corpse Lord's base attribute strength and domain strength have been greatly improved, and his talents have also been improved.

In terms of skills, its only King-level skill proficiency level has been upgraded from lv3 to lv4 Perfect level, which is a relatively large improvement for it. After all, a King-level skill with Perfect proficiency is already a powerful move for ordinary Tier 5 Transcendent beings.

However, these improvements are not very noticeable from the data alone.

For example, the Corpse Lord's three major attribute strengths have all exceeded 1,000, reaching the monarch level, which is indeed a significant improvement compared to the previous 500 or 600.

In terms of domain, it has successfully reached the monarch level, and the increase in domain power is enormous compared to before.

But if that's all there is to it, it's really not much.

For example, Ye Mo's spirit pet, the Crimson Crystal Dragon Isaac, is a dragon-attribute spirit pet with the bloodline level of a superior monarch race. It was also able to change its class to the [Gem Dragon King], a class comparable to that of a superior monarch race. Its basic attribute strength has been raised to an extremely terrifying level.

Although it's still a bit weaker than a fifth-tier Corpse Lord, it really is just a little bit weaker.

For example, in terms of life strength alone, Isaac is no less than a fifth-tier Corpse Lord, and although his other attributes are slightly lower, they are still very close.

With attribute strength no weaker than a fifth-tier Corpse Lord, and in terms of domain, Isaac has also successfully broken through to the Monarch level, so he is not afraid at all when the domains collide.

Needless to say, his talents and skills are exceptional. Although the Corpse Lord is of a higher rank, he is far inferior to Isaac, who seems to have cheat codes.

Even if the Corpse Lord breaks through to the fifth rank, only one of his talents reaches the King level, and he also only has one King-level skill.

As for Isaac, he has two King-level talents. In terms of skills, he possesses a special King-level skill called [Bloodline Crystallization], which is comparable to several other skills, and he also has a pseudo-legendary skill called [Reigniting Crystal Flames].

Although skills and talents are not as important as before after reaching the fifth level of the extraordinary rank, if the gap between one's talents and skills and those of the opponent is too large, the impact on one's strength will be extraordinary.

Judging from the attributes shown on the attribute panel alone, Isaac at the peak of the fourth tier could easily defeat a Corpse Lord who has just entered the fifth tier.

But in reality, even before they started fighting, Ye Mo knew that if they really fought, Isaac might have a hard time losing, but he definitely couldn't win.

After all, once a transcendent being reaches the fifth level, they can control their domain with their complete soul, thereby manipulating the power of heaven and earth.

This improvement in attack and defense might be equivalent to the improvement brought by super-level or king-level auxiliary skills, but when it comes to improving the combat endurance of extraordinary powerhouses, it is far more terrifying than some king-level skills.

That's why battles between fifth-tier transcendents can last for a whole day or even several days. While Isaac may not be weaker than a fifth-tier in other aspects, he, as a fourth-tier, is still no match for him in this regard.

Therefore, if one wants to defeat a fifth-level opponent with a fourth-level cultivation, there is only one way: to severely injure the opponent with attacks that exceed their tolerance, preventing them from recovering. Only by doing this can one defeat them.

This is the case with Hanhan. As a fourth-tier cultivator, his burst damage alone far surpasses that of most ordinary fifth-tier transcendents. Therefore, coupled with Hanhan's overlord-level domain, he can defeat ordinary fifth-tier transcendents relatively easily.

"The Corpse Lord's successful breakthrough is a very good sign. In the future, there will only be more and more undead breaking through to the fifth rank..." Ye Mo clenched his fists, his eyes were firm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

However, the impact of the failed breakthrough was still too great. Even if the Darkflame Knights didn't care whether it took a few years or more than ten years to recover in order to prepare for a second breakthrough, he couldn't wait that long.

"Boss Ye Mo."

A hoarse voice came over, and the Corpse Lord withdrew his domain and aura, bowing his head respectfully to look at Ye Mo.

Even if it successfully breaks through, it still signed the transaction contract. And even without mentioning the contract, it is quite clear about who enabled its breakthrough, given its relatively high intelligence.

Moreover, Lord Bai You, who is the King of the Dead, is the spirit pet of Boss Ye Mo in front of us. With this identity, even if he cannot become the legendary ruler of the dead in the future, he can become the overlord of the entire Abyss of the Dead.

Given such power and status, what's wrong with it choosing to follow?

It should be noted that the Corpse Lord, as a fourth-tier undead who had broken through to the next level, had been tried to recruit by some fifth-tier undead kings during the hundreds of years it had lived in the Abyss of the Dead. However, it successfully refused each time by relying on its own strength.

As for why it now willingly submits, how could it refuse a leader who is not weak, has great potential, and can help it break through?

"Very good. Now that you've successfully broken through, don't go to the Heart of the Profound Nether for a while. Your main task now is to familiarize yourself with the power you've gained after the breakthrough. I still have a lot of things I need you for later." Ye Mo raised his eyes, nodded, and smiled.

After the Corpse Lord breaks through to the fifth rank, there are many things he can do. After all, a fifth-rank combatant who can be mobilized at will is a great help, not only in the Light Spirit Continent where fifth-rank beings reign supreme, but also in the Yanhuang, where there are many powerful individuals.

Upon hearing Ye Mo's words, the Corpse Lord didn't say much, simply nodded, and flew up from the valley floor. Although the necromantic power here was more concentrated, this place was specifically designed for breakthroughs, so it naturally couldn't stay here after successfully breaking through.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Ye Mo and the surrounding undead powerhouses, the Corpse Lord swiftly flew towards its dwelling in this location. This was also a characteristic of fifth-tier transcendents. If the Corpse Lord were only fourth-tier, even if it could fly, it wouldn't travel by flying like this, since flying is quite energy-consuming for a fourth-tier transcendent.

After the Corpse Lord disappeared, Ye Mo turned his gaze to the other powerful undead around him. "You all keep up the good work. I hope that when we meet again, you will all have broken through to the fifth rank."

Faced with these words, the Netherflame Knight and the other undead were filled with excitement and anticipation. After all, this was the first time they had witnessed another undead break through to the fifth rank, especially since the one who broke through was someone they were quite familiar with.

Although the Corpse Lord before its breakthrough was stronger than them, the difference wasn't that great. Since it was able to successfully break through, could they do the same?

Thinking of all this, some of the undead powerhouses, including the Netherflame Knight, even considered breaking through to a higher level right now. However, as the biting cold wind blew and their soul fire began to cool, their impulse subsided.

If they are fully prepared, there might be a 20-30% chance of breaking through, but if they try to break through now, there's probably no chance at all. That wouldn't be called a breakthrough, that would be called stupidity.

After chatting with the Netherflame Knights and other undead who remained there for a while, Ye Mo took Xiao Liu'er back with him.

However, unlike before, he was quite excited on the way back, after all, that was the first person under his command to break through to the fifth rank.

…………

after a while.

Back at the top of Burial Hill, before Ye Mo could even tell Bai You the good news, Bai You guessed it from his expression.

"Fifth rank? If I break through to the fifth rank, researching formations should be easier, right?" Bai You pondered, his eyes darting around.

Although Bai You reached the fifth-tier array master level early on, it would be quite difficult for him to control the fifth-tier array master level with only fourth-tier cultivation.

Just like Ye Mo, who has now broken through to the fifth-level cultivator, although he can make fifth-level potions, if he wants to make some more difficult fifth-level potions, he has to spend a lot of effort just processing the materials.

However, once he becomes a fifth-tier beast tamer, his mental strength and energy as a fifth-tier transcendent will make the matter much simpler.

However, this is also because most of the materials used in making potions must be handled by the maker himself. Otherwise, whether it is handed over to a spirit pet or other subordinates, it would be much easier for him than for the beast tamer himself.

"Youyou, I'll still need to rely on you in the interdimensional war. So please wait a little longer." Ye Mo clasped his hands together, looked at Bai You with a smile, and said quickly.

Currently, Bai You, his spirit pet, had already increased the progress of condensing her soul to 100% back in the Xuanming Underworld Secret Realm, and could condense it at any time.

She has also completed all the other requirements for breaking through to the fifth level.

In other words, as long as Bai You wants, she can condense a complete soul at any time and thus begin to break through to the fifth rank.

Furthermore, due to Master Ye Mo's awakened talent, as long as Bai You meets the breakthrough requirements, her breakthrough will have a 100% success rate.

Therefore, as long as Bai You makes up his mind, Ye Mo will be able to see Bai You at the fifth level in less than an hour.

Besides, Ye Mo's other spirit pets are also very close to breaking through to the fifth rank. Although most of the Soul-Gathering Potions he made during this period were provided to those fourth-rank peak Domain-level undead, the number of potions needed by Hanhan and the others was not large.

Hanhan's progress in condensing his soul reached 89%, Xiaoliu'er's reached 94%, and Bailing's reached 96%.

Such a high progress means that they only need one or two doses of fifth-tier Xuanming Soul-Gathering Potion, or even more doses of fourth-tier Ghost Spirit Soul-Gathering Potion, to increase their progress to 100%, reaching a state where they can break through at any time, just like Bai You.

"Don't worry, I understand the priorities." Bai You nodded slightly, then turned around, gracefully stepped into the shadows, and disappeared from Ye Mo's sight.

"I also need to research a potion that can restore the hidden injuries of those undead after their failed breakthroughs." Ye Mo raised his head, his eyes firm, then turned to look at Xiao Liu'er beside him and said, "Xiao Liu'er, I'll go and get busy now."

"Okay, Daddy, then I'll go purify those soul beads too." Little Willow glanced at Ye Mo with some reluctance, but her gaze quickly hardened. Although she wanted to stay by Ye Mo's side, she didn't want to bother him because of herself.

A short while later, Little Willow flew to the side, heading towards the temporary storage place where the Soul Orbs produced by the Golden Skull King were kept.

On the other side, after seeing Xiao Liu'er go to purify the Soul Pearl, Ye Mo also came to his newly built potion room.

After entering the room, Ye Mo stood in front of the workbench, his head down, and began to think.

Now that the Soul-Gathering Potion has been developed, all the peak fourth-tier undead in the Burial Grounds will be able to condense complete souls, thereby increasing their chances of breaking through to the fifth tier.

But chances are just chances. Even if the Darkflame Knights condense a complete soul and awaken their domain, failing to break through is the normal situation for them.

In this situation, the Netherflame Knights would probably have to try several times to successfully break through to the fifth rank.

However, each failed attempt to break through will not only make the next breakthrough more difficult for the person attempting it, but will also cause some damage to the person's very essence.

Although the injury itself may not be severe, it is a fundamental injury, and even if the injury is relatively minor, it will be very difficult to recover.

Especially since they are all those awaiting a breakthrough, it is impossible for them to attempt another breakthrough if their original essence has not been fully restored.

Although as undead creatures, the Netherflame Knights can rely on time to slowly recover from their original wounds, especially within the Abyss of the Dead, where the recovery is even faster.

But that so-called speed is only relative to undead creatures. For him, let alone spending several years or even more than ten years to recover from his original injuries, he could not accept even half a year or a few months.

After all, it only took him a little over a year to go from becoming a Beastmaster to being able to fight against a fifth-tier monarch. If he were given a few more years, what use would some fifth-tier undead be to him?
Having thought this through, Ye Mo made up his mind to develop a potion as soon as possible to heal the original injuries of those powerful undead in the Burial Grounds.

Fortunately, there are quite a few of these kinds of potions in Yanhuang, and he knows some of them. However, most potions that restore the original damage are targeted, with a few exceptions. Therefore, if he wants to restore the original damage of his undead subordinates after their failed breakthroughs, it would be best to personally research a potion specifically for undead.

In addition, cost-effectiveness also needs to be considered; it would be even better if resources produced within the Abyss of the Dead could be used.

With this in mind, Ye Mo took out various extraordinary resources from the contract space and began to study them.
