Chapter 368 Victory! I bestow upon you glory and authority, aid and strategy.

To the onlookers, it seemed as if an apocalyptic catastrophe was about to befall them.

Chains and anchors, raging storms, tsunamis and surging sea monsters —

Among them, the dim yellow ocean that was surrounded by it was the most eye-catching.

The sun hung on the horizon, hazy and indistinct, its rays filtering down in streaks that made the swirling ashes resemble embers falling from the sky.

The pitch-black ocean, like a mirror, reflected the dim sunlight. The world was empty except for the roar of the waves, which sounded like the gasping of a dying old man.

The world was desolate and lifeless, and even the sunlight was growing dimmer.

Suddenly, a melodious whale call rang out from the pitch-black ocean, the sound waves surging across the surface and swirling up the ashes.

A giant whale, its body covered in rotten flesh and half of its body reduced to a skeleton, leaped out of the ocean, opening its blood-red maw towards the sky, the sun, and the entire world.

It greedily devoured everything, and the remaining part of its body was rapidly decaying and decaying.

But it still didn't stop.

Until it swallowed the dim sun on the horizon with its gaping maw, which was now just a skeleton.

The world fell into darkness and death, and the giant whale that had devoured the sun was ignited by that final flame.

"Yo—"

—

The giant whale let out a long roar, and on its body, which was now just a skeleton and rotting flesh, streaks of dim yellow flames ignited, slapping against the dark ocean and supporting its body.

Rise, forward! The jaws of everything attacking from the outside world open wide once more!

And so, it collided with seven other domains that had also expanded to their limits.

There were no flashy explosions or dazzling lights; in the suffocating silence, only the most extreme and purest collision of power unfolded.

Eight distinct legendary powers clashed head-on, squeezing and colliding with each other, slowly yet frantically tearing each other apart.

Rumble!

Finally, the ground beneath the eight people could not withstand the terrifying power and roared as it was crushed into nothingness by the pressure of the eight domains.

The collapse of the earth was like a perfectly intact balloon bursting with a hole.

The surrounding air was pulled apart by nothingness, turning into a terrifying storm.

The space around the eight people creaked under the weight, slowly unfolding wrinkles, like the surface of a balloon gradually deflating.

Finally, at some point, the chilling creaking sound abruptly stopped.

then-

boom!

The deflated space suddenly expanded like a bubble, and then burst abruptly after expanding to its maximum.

The battlefield where the eight people were located instantly turned into a void, appearing from outside the battlefield like a large hole had been punched in a perfectly smooth floor in a house.

Meanwhile, the battle came to its final conclusion.

The tsunami and sea monsters, losing their support, plummeted into the void.

The fierce wind and torrential rain were scattered by the empty wind, and the leaves drifted down powerlessly.

Finally, the chains were ignited by the dim yellow flames on the whale's body, turning into decaying remains.

The barbed anchor plummeted down like a shooting star piercing the darkness of the void.

It also drew the attention of thousands of eyes on the sidelines.

"We lost—"

The fanatics stared in disbelief at the decaying giant whale that was soaring and singing in the void, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

Tantai Qingxuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the figure standing in the void, a hint of certainty in his gaze.

When he first met Eric, he thought it was just something Xiao Yun had casually picked up on the road to make it easier to handle daily chores.

But now it seems that Eric is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Li Tianxing's expression was somewhat bitter, and also deeply shocked.

"Being able to draw upon the true power of life and death is truly different—"

As the highest-ranking person present, he saw things most clearly.

All eight of them reached legendary status and were able to unleash their domains only by relying on the power of their master.

However, even borrowed power can vary in quality.

Although Eric only borrowed [Death] controlled by Xiao Yun, it was enough to suppress the power that the high priests borrowed from the Lord.

Ultimately, the "Lord" embodied in Su Muqing through the power of faith was not the most legitimate master of the Undead race.

Even the "Lord's" control over life and death is merely a collection of the meager life and death power held by believers, enhanced by the power of faith, to reach a level that surpasses all believers.

Compared to the purest and most fundamental [life and death] that Xiao Yun has mastered, there is absolutely no comparison.

"What an enviable power!"

Li Tianxing looked at Xiao Yun, who had just returned, with a very complicated expression.

At Xiao Yun's feet lay seven half-dead high priests, whom he had just retrieved from the void.

The rescue process lasted only a few seconds, and some believers were unaware that Xiao Yun had just taken a stroll in the shattered void.

Xiao Yun remained calm and composed, not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled.

Li Tianxing's rank is higher than Xiao Yun's, and he can also retrieve people from the void.

But he asked himself if he could be as nonchalant as Xiao Yun.

And all of this is the power of life and death.

As part of the world, it cannot be shaken by any force other than the annihilation of the world.

The flames of jealousy in Li Tianxing's eyes grew even stronger, but he forcibly suppressed them.

"It's not the right time yet—"

Eric's victory over seven opponents not only proved himself but also elevated Xiao Yun's prestige to its peak.

Before the war, everyone doubted Eric, but after the war, everyone wanted to be him.

No one would turn down a greater future and a more powerful force.

Moreover, Li Tianxing's address of Xiao Yun as "True Lord" was not out of modesty or flattery.

"Becoming an undead has made me stronger, but it's also my fatal shackle when facing him; even the difference in rank can't bridge it—"

Li Tianxing lowered his head, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Next, he needs to make some preparations and plans before he can confront Xiao Yun head-on.

And now—

Around the shattered void, space writhed like a rag, quickly filling in the scar.

The whale song then stopped.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Eric dragged his crippled body over and knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Yun.

His entire body had almost turned into a skeleton, just like that giant whale, with only broken flesh and blood hanging on it.

A beating heart could be faintly seen through the gaps in his ribs, proving that he was still alive.

But no one dared to underestimate him now; they all bowed their heads in respect, paying the highest tribute to this warrior.

Feeling the intense gazes around him, Eric's eyes reddened.

But instead of basking in the joy of his victory, he took a deep breath and reported back to his lord: "My lord, I have won this battle."

He had not forgotten that his current power, glory, and everything else came from the man before him.

If Xiao Yun hadn't shown him leniency, spared his life, and given him a chance to atone for his crimes, Eric would probably be dead on that rocky island.

"Well done."

Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction, raised the mithril sword, and tapped him on the left shoulder: "In the name of life, I grant you power."

Xiao Yun's calm voice echoed in the air. The immense power of life and death descended, and Eric's battered body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, Xiao Yun raised his sword and tapped him on the right shoulder.

"In the name of death, I grant you authority."

As the words fell, swirling ashes gathered from the heavens and earth, transforming into a long, greyish-black robe on Eric's body.

On the cuffs of the long robe, a decaying, yellowish-brown whale was swimming freely.

"In the name of the Lord of Life and Death, I hereby appoint Eric as the new High Priest of the Undead and the Cult of the Undead."

As Xiao Yun spoke, he raised his head and looked around: "Who objects?"

There was a moment of silence.

Bishop Li Tianxing slowly walked up to Xiao Yun, and together with the remaining seven priests and all the believers, bowed deeply: "By the command of Allah!"

Xiao Yun nodded, his expression remaining calm, as if he had already anticipated the current situation.

"Then please continue with the plan. Meeting adjourned."

Having said that, he turned and returned to the throne room, stepping on the flowing power of faith, and approached the beautiful woman seated there, slowly bowing down—

Boom—

The doors to the throne room were closed, cutting off everyone's view.

This sudden rebellion came to an abrupt end.

The fanatical rebels were not punished and even received a brighter future.

The rebellious sentiment among the undead melted away like ice dissolving in water, and the faith transfer plan proceeded much more smoothly than before.

Everything was so harmonious.

Apart from the screen in Bishop Li Tianxing's room, which was slowly unfolded by several black lines.

The screen flickered with static, and after a while, a blurry figure appeared in front of me.

The tall woman nodded slightly, her voice somewhat noisy and distorted: "Long time no see, Bishop Li. The reason for activating express communication today is—"

Li Tianxing took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said, "I want to see your founder."

The tall woman on the other side of the screen paused for a moment.

Before she could reply, the screen started to flicker violently.

Finally, the scene freezes on an office bathed in sunlight.

And that guy in the office, wearing baggy shorts and a tank top, lying on a deck chair, sipping iced lemon tea and sunbathing.

Feeling Li Tianxing's gaze, the man stretched, turned his head, and said with a smile, "So? Figured it out?"

"Um.

""

Li Tianxing nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "I need your help, and I believe you need my help too."

"After all, killing Xiao Yun is our shared wish—"

Before he could finish speaking, the man opposite him suddenly shook his head and made an ambiguous clicking sound: "You seem to have misunderstood something, Bishop Li. I do not intend to kill Ayun."

"I would even help him sit on that throne."
