Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 460 Lord War, Huge Rewards from Land Reclamation!

Just like the Ark itself, when it was in the Natural Forest where the energy concentration was kept at the lower level of Black Iron, it was unable to break through to the middle level of Black Iron due to environmental limitations.

The low-energy environment of the Corpse Hills greatly limits the growth and evolution speed of the Ark clones.

In this new world of the dead, Ark clearly felt that the problem of low energy concentration had been solved.

Based on his own experience, he no longer needed to have this concern, at least not until he was promoted to the Silver rank.

This is the new world I've been looking for.

Fang Zhou clenched his fists, looking at the new world that awaited his exploration and conquest, his heart filled with anticipation.

Through the meager authority over the corpses it possessed, the Ark naturally established a close connection with the blood moon in the sky.

This feeling is like the body receiving the blessing of the Blue Star's will and awakening the world runes.

Through this less-than-perfect Blood Moon Will, Ark gained a better understanding of the rules of this new undead world, and naturally had more confidence in its next actions.

He sent his skeletal guards ahead and found a place to hide. Then, the Ark had Tryndamere lead the way towards the smallest undead territory he had found!

That territory was indeed very large, as Ark had seen with his own eyes; it was scattered with groups of skeletons and zombies of all sizes.

Fangzhou estimated that because these low-level undead were scattered and wandering around without any pattern, he couldn't give an accurate number.

But judging from this situation, it's estimated to be no less than 50,000.

A truly terrifying number!

In this situation, how can we find and behead the undead lord?

For the Ark to directly charge into such a dense horde of undead and provoke the lord would undoubtedly be an extremely risky undertaking.

Moreover, Ark now possesses the authority over the undead, and upon arriving in this new world of the dead, it automatically received the Blood Moon Blessing, which is equivalent to having the identity of an undead lord.

This also makes it impossible for him to subdue the unclaimed skeletons and zombies here to expand his own power.

Because he now has his own personal burial ground.

If he were to subdue even the weakest little skeleton here, it would be considered that he had invaded the other party's territory with his own troops, and the lord war mode would be immediately activated.

Fangzhou remained calm and composed, piloting the Yellow Springs Nightmare to scout around the territory.

Today is the full moon.

Although this new world of the dead is a desolate place, the changes brought about by the Blood Moon are different from those in the Corpse Hills where the Ark was previously located.

The blood moon here also has its phases of waxing and waning.

Moreover, during a full blood moon, the energy that the blood moon can provide will increase dramatically.

Even at the lower-tier Bronze level of the Ark, basking in the full moon still brings him pleasure.

The feeling of the soul fire within his body slowly growing by continuously absorbing the moonlight miraculously calmed the restless mind of the Ark.

At that moment, Fangzhou suddenly saw the scene he most wanted to see.

Under the reconnaissance of the skeletal bats he released high in the sky, the zombie lord he had been searching for everywhere actually swaggered out of a cave with dozens of undead guards.

This undead lord is a mid-tier bronze plague zombie.

Of course, compared to ordinary bronze zombies, he was much larger, his skin was tougher, and even the fangs growing from the corners of his mouth were sharper.

What a golden opportunity!

Almost immediately, Fangzhou wanted to rush forward and deliver a fatal blow to the lord.

However, the distance was too far, so Ark had to urge the Yellow Springs Nightmare forward at high speed while remotely directing the Corpse Guards who were lying in ambush to block the way.

Hanging far behind the undead lord, Fangzhou was quite curious and wanted to follow it to see what it was rushing off to.

These undead lords, who had gained the Blood Moon's approval and successfully advanced to the Bronze rank, all possessed a certain level of intelligence.

Even if they are not as good as ordinary humans, they are no worse than Tryndamere and others.

Therefore, their actions were so direct that their purpose must be clear. The ark followed them all the way, and the horses' hooves made a crunching sound as they stepped on the bone fragments on the ground.

Soon, the ark followed its target and arrived at a mountain.

It's called a mountain, but in reality it's just a hill made up of piles of bones.

However, in the new world of the dead, which is almost a flat plain, such a hill of bones would undoubtedly seem out of place!

Fangzhou stared intently, and then saw the zombie lord stand at the very top of the Bone Hill, and then stand there quietly.

Fangzhou watched from afar, a sense of enlightenment washing over him.

Although he had just arrived in this new world of the dead, he had already gained a deep understanding of this place through the information transmitted by the Blood Moon.

Unlike the illusory blood moon that served no purpose in the original corpse hills where the Ark was located, the blood moon projection in this fragment of the Netherworld was far more powerful.

Even the glow of the blood moon here is a very effective resource for undead creatures to repair their damaged soulfire.

While the radiance of the Blood Moon doesn't have the same immediate effect on the growth and strengthening of Soulfire as directly consuming the Soulfire of other undead creatures, its repairing effect on Soulfire damaged in battle is very significant.

Generally speaking, if the undead creatures in this world suffer from ordinary injuries or minor problems such as severe depletion of their soul fire, they can recover naturally by basking in the moonlight for a few nights.

Unless one suffers a fatal, almost irreversible injury requiring the consumption of large amounts of soulfire to recover, the healing effects of Blood Moon Radiance can be effectively utilized.

If all else fails, try basking in the moonlight during a full moon; the effect will be more pronounced.

According to Ark's analysis and speculation, after the epic battle between the Naraku civilization and the Abyss Demons, the power of the Undead Blood Moon was greatly weakened.

The glow of the blood moon is actually a relatively dense and advanced form of necromantic energy.

The blood moon projections in the various fragments of the underworld emit energy that almost entirely supplies the birth of all newly born undead.

The authority of the Netherworld contained within the Blood Moon is a key reason why undead creatures can continuously be born in the Netherworld.

At this moment, in the Ark's line of sight, the radiance of the blood moon seemed to suddenly concentrate, becoming almost visible to the naked eye.

Pure undead necromancy was continuously transferred to the zombie lord through the effects of the blood moon's radiance.

The zombie lord continuously absorbed the death energy into his body, and then it surged out again.

With each such cycle, the zombie lord's soul fire grew stronger.

This speed is almost comparable to the speed at which soul fire is absorbed.

Is there really such a way to forge soul fire?

Fang Zhou was somewhat shocked. Could it be that the undead in the new world still possessed cultivation techniques?

Out of caution, Fangzhou did not interrupt the zombie lord's cultivation, but instead hid behind the high slope and carefully observed the zombie lord.

The realm of the dead is far too vast.

Although it was divided into different fragments of varying sizes, the differences in rules among the different fragments were still quite obvious.

For the Ark, which aspires to perfect control over the corpses in its hands, this also means an extremely arduous journey.

The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down.

There are indeed many things in the realm of the dead that I have no idea about.

I am nothing more than a lowly undead of mid-Bronze rank.

To gain a more thorough understanding of the authority of the undead, one must become more powerful.

Having roughly understood the behavior of this zombie lord capable of cultivation, Fangzhou stopped observing.

He initiated a death charge, bypassing the several zombie guards standing by, and approached the zombie lord from behind.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhou drew his Corpse Spear and struck him hard!

The effect of the fatal blow caused the Ark's Corpse Spear to leave a deep wound on the zombie lord's body!

This zombie lord appears to have enhanced its own surface defense capabilities.

Despite Ark's four-dimensional attributes and racial combat power coefficient, coupled with its combat skills that had been deduced to the Bronze rank, it was still unable to kill it in one blow.

This stirred a long-lost sense of excitement within Fang Zhou.

He had been invincible in the Corpse Hills for far too long, and now he had finally met a slightly tougher opponent, so he could finally have some fun.

The zombie lord, who had been attacked, reacted immediately.

He stood up, spewing black energy, and drew his bone knife while letting out a cold roar, summoning the zombie guards around him.

Fang Zhou had already sensed the power of this zombie lord, so he certainly wouldn't choose to fight him head-on while he was surrounded.

After putting up a brief resistance, Fangzhou saw that the zombie guards who had been standing guard on the side had caught up. He immediately used Death Stomp to stun the zombie lord, then slipped away and ran!

After evolving several times, the Ark's movement speed is not as slow as that of ordinary zombies.

In particular, his transformation of the skeletal warhorse into his own exclusive skeletal weaponry suggests that his evolution has taken a different path.

His movement speed was extremely fast, and unlike ordinary undead, his body was not stiff; instead, he appeared very agile.

In terms of the four-dimensional attributes alone, this zombie lord is clearly not much weaker than the Ark, but it is much slower than the Ark.

Fangzhou leisurely zipped ahead, brazenly beginning his entrapment operation.

Of course, to keep the zombie lord interested enough to continue chasing him, he would occasionally wave his hand and unleash a few Death Slashes, causing the zombie lord's jaw to vibrate and make a creaking sound.

As an elite zombie lord blessed by the Blood Moon of the Dead, this undead creature already possesses basic intelligence and emotions.

Fangzhou steered the Yellow Springs Nightmare at a steady pace, occasionally turning back to deliver a powerful Death Slash to the zombie lord.

Meanwhile, the target lord's guards were slower than the zombie lord, trailing far behind and soon disappearing from sight.

The distance between the two was gradually closing, while the distance between the zombie lord and his minions began to gradually widen.

Although Fangzhou was running away, he grinned.

Upon seeing that mocking smile from afar, and seemingly finally experiencing a long-lost feeling of anger, the originally slow-moving zombie lord suddenly became incredibly fast.

A faint gray-black light enveloped his body, and his movement speed actually increased significantly.

Fangzhou hesitated for a moment and almost got caught by the zombie lord.

Immediately, Ark changed its battle strategy.

After a deadly charge that created distance, he stopped running in a straight line and started running in a zigzag pattern.

Whenever the zombie lord was about to catch up with him, he would immediately change direction.

Two powerful undead lords chased each other.

Soon, the smile on Fang Zhou's face became more and more obvious.

The zombie lord, who was running behind the Ark without stopping, noticed nothing. Suddenly, he felt his foot slip and stepped into empty air with a snap, his whole body sinking into the ground.

This was a trap that Ark had Tryndamere and the other skeletal guards prepare long ago.

The trap pit was dug very deep, probably more than five meters deep. Once the zombie lord fell in, there was absolutely no way he could climb out.

Moreover, even if he manages to climb up, would the Ark give him another chance?

The Ark Soulfire flickered, and the figures of the Corpse Guards immediately appeared not far away.

The zombie lord immediately realized something was wrong when he fell into the trap and let out a silent scream caused purely by soul fire.

According to the information the Ark obtained from the Blood Moon of the Dead, this is one of the manifestations of the Lord's Summoning Order.

Before long, a great many skeletons and zombies will gather in this place.

Unfortunately, the Ark is not going to give the Zombie Lord the chance to see his troops.

The skeletal guards, equipped with ranged weapons, formed a circle around the trap and immediately launched an indiscriminate attack on the zombie lord inside, striving to eliminate it as quickly as possible.

Fang Zhou brandished the Corpse Spear in his hand, unleashing a series of incredibly powerful Death Energy Slashes.

With a zombie's intelligence, do you really think you can compete with it?

Tactics are about creating a favorable situation from an unfavorable one.

If he didn't use a horde of corpses to overwhelm you, he wouldn't truly demonstrate the wisdom of a dignified Lieutenant Longxia!

But just when Fangzhou thought the situation was settled, the zombie lord, who was covered in arrows and wounds, suddenly burst out with a black light, and then with a powerful leap, he actually jumped directly up!
