The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Previously, Xue's Law didn't have time to stop thinking, feeling lost, or wondering if he had changed.

After all, he had been putting out fires all along, so he didn't have time to be confused. If he had been confused for even a moment, the world would probably have been destroyed.

And now, I finally got to experience the thrill of smurfing in low-elo games.

Just mindlessly rush into the BOSS's territory, and then do whatever you want without thinking.

No matter what he said, I couldn't be bothered to listen. I just killed him. Xue hadn't experienced this kind of simple and easy pleasure in a long time.

Looking at the head he was holding, Xue Dinglu said, "You, the Lich King, truly delight me."

"Waaaaah!"

"Don't worry, I finally have a complete lich. I'm going to find out how to deal with the Eighth Apostle from you!" Xue Dinglu laughed and threw the head away.

In an instant, the divine tree seemed to come alive, wrapping its entire trunk around the head, its branches piercing into the skull without harming the Lich King's soul fire.

Yes, he didn't actually care about the Lich King or his true identity.

But he was very concerned about the absence of the Eighth Apostle.

He was determined to either destroy the Eighth Apostle or find the thing closest to the Eighth Apostle, the Lich King, and thus discover a way to specifically attack the Eighth Apostle.

Although Xue Dinglu knew a lich who should still be bathing in the volcano, it was troublesome to take that thing down and even more troublesome to take it out. In addition, he was unsure if a mere quasi-4th-tier lich king was qualified, so he gave up.

"Brother, what's wrong with you..." Su Su suddenly appeared behind him from nowhere, looking at the head of the undead with a braid in the sky with a very puzzled expression.

She had no idea what was happening. Things were happening so fast. In less than four hours, Xue Luding and the Old Demon Emperor had ravaged the entire Undead Cataclysm. She had only been woken up by the strange movements of the Divine Tree, which were like an earthquake.

"You've come at the right time. Do me a favor and open Margaret's Pure Land. I want to try and confirm what exactly the Lich King's soul is, how he achieved immortality, and its connection with something else," Xue Dinglu said.

"Waaaaah!"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore," Xue Dinglu comforted the spirit.

Su Su instantly realized that this was the Xue Law she knew, the guy with hundreds of billions in KD. The image of the sunny and cheerful boy she knew before made her feel very uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on her.

That's it! That's it! This is the real deal! This is the authentic Brother Law!

After interacting with that group of masked lunatics, she even suspected that Brother Lu might have been assimilated by them and turned into a crazy guy who only knew how to wear a mask and cause trouble.

This is the right flavor now.

……

Meanwhile, the old Demon Emperor's career is not going well.

The entire Great Tomb was completely filled with Xue's law of lava. It was originally home to billions of undead and monsters, all of whom were the Lich King's trump cards. However, whether it was the mythical undead or the indestructible Great Tomb, they were all as easy as butter when they came into contact with the volcanic lava.

Everything was wiped out instantly!

The great tomb became an empty space, and those traitors, criminals, and nobles from other tribes whom he might have wanted to take revenge on were instantly killed.

This made him feel as if he had lost many goals in an instant.

When he stepped out of the Great Tomb of the Dead, which had been completely transformed into an obsidian pit, he was surprised to find his two sons still outside the door.

"Father..." The two desiccated corpses looked at the person who came out, and after feeling the soul that was no longer bound by anything, they smiled for a moment.

When the old Demon Emperor saw his two sons, who had long since become undead, his expression was extremely complex, containing melancholy, helplessness, and a final trace of relief.

“We were lucky to be assigned to guard the outermost perimeter, which actually saved us from that heavenly punishment-like flames… all the other high-ranking undead inside died…” the eldest son said, a demi-human with some lizard features.

The Old Demon Emperor was less of a demi-human and more of an alien. Apart from his physical resemblance to primates, he was essentially more like a lizardman with an insect exoskeleton, and he looked quite ugly.

It has been said among the demons that he has regressed to his ancestral form and possessed the power of his ancestors. However, the old demon emperor also knew that he was ugly, so his wives in his youth were all very human-like.

Therefore, his eldest son was more like a scaly demi-human, while his second son only inherited his exoskeleton in a few joints, and overall he was not much different from a human.

In his education, his eldest son was a scholar. He had never suffered hardship or experienced war since childhood. The old demon emperor's requirement for him was to become the most knowledgeable person in the world.

Unfortunately, the environment of that time could not cultivate a truly knowledgeable person. His eldest son was only slightly better than those other brutes who only knew how to fight and kill, but he didn't have much of a brain either.

Therefore, the old Demon Emperor arranged for him to marry a princess of the tree spirit clan, ensuring that even if he was incompetent, he would eventually receive the protection of this clan, which was second only to the demons.

The second son, the Old Demon Emperor, had his other subordinates fight alongside him since childhood. However, he was the kind of person who was neither the best nor the worst. He had never made any great achievements or mistakes. He was qualified to be a deputy general, but not qualified to be a commander.

So the old Demon Emperor arranged for him to marry the daughter of an orc chieftain. As one of the earliest tribes to follow him, the orcs were one of his core followers.

As for the youngest son... let's not even mention him...

However, all his previous arrangements and plans have come to naught, leaving only this mess and a complete absurdity...

"I'm sorry, Father, we're useless. Whether it was stopping our third brother's rebellion or preventing him from becoming a ghost this time, we didn't do a good job..." The eldest son scratched his head. He was a child who grew up in a good school, but he looked simple-minded.

"Tell me, what was going on between you before I died?" The old Demon Emperor walked silently, and the two undead followed slowly.

"I...I'm sorry, Father. I received news that you were preparing to return to the capital, so I went to greet you in person, and then I was ambushed..." The eldest son recounted the events of his life, which made the old Demon Emperor instantly understand what had happened in the capital at that time.

"Second brother, what about you?"

"Father, I was drinking at the time, and when I woke up again, I was already a ghost..." The second son became even more timid and dared not speak.

The Old Demon Emperor: "..."

Fine, all three accounts are ruined. Let's find a successor and start a new alt account.

This time, it's a small trumpet that needs to return from studying abroad in another world.

Chapter 426 Apostles, I must destroy all of them!

"Susu, unfold Margaret's Pure Land."

"Alright, the 911th experiment begins!" Su Su immediately opened the Pure Land, her entire body once again transforming into Margaret's vessel, and began to open the Pure Land, which was used to imprison demons like the underworld.

At this point, the Lich King had completely lost his struggle and consciousness. After hundreds of tortures and experiments, the Lich King, who had stitched together the Shub insectoids and the old Demon King's youngest son, Karl, had lost consciousness and breath after more than 200 attempts.

The Lich King ceased thinking.

But Xue's Law still didn't think about stopping the experiment. After nearly a thousand experiments, he gradually found the characteristics of the Lich King and extracted the Lich King's true core.

It was a spell that resided within the Lich King's soul fire, which Xue Lude named "Eternal Slavery".

After so many experiments in Su Su's Pure Land, Xue's Law and Su Su both understood the nature of this eternal enslavement.

There is no absolute immortality or absolute invincibility in the world; any powerful force must pay a corresponding price.

Just as Abdullah Hassan became the strongest being second only to the Mimic King, the price he paid was being completely soaked in nothingness. He has now lost all his senses, emotions, and memories, with only a last shred of obsession remaining in the masquerade ball.

The Lich King can resurrect without limit? What, then, is the price?

The price was actually paid by others, and it was this technique that Xue's law named "eternal enslavement".

This is an extremely domineering technique; Xue Lude even sensed the power of authority within it, an authority called "Immortality."

This is the authority of the Eighth Apostle!

Just as the power of the self-destructive in Xue's Law stems from the price of abusing the cursed blood, the power of the Eighth Apostle, the Undying King, which carries the concept of "immortality," will ensure that all units carrying this power will never die.

The price to pay was the Eighth Apostle himself!

He needs to merge a part of his soul into this authority in order to create an immortal Lich King.

In essence, the Lich King is merely an avatar of the Eighth Apostle, fused with local corpses, that does not cause tension in the world's consciousness!

This power allowed the Eighth Apostle's undead scourge to sweep across the universe, becoming a cosmic catastrophe on par with the Mind Flayers, the Swarm, and the Tree of Souls.

The price was that his soul was also in a state of being split apart, but the Eighth Apostle most likely found a way to avoid this side effect, similar to how a part of it became a "perpetual slave" that was separated out.

This is an immortal authority. At the most critical juncture in centuries, He can also reclaim all eternal enslavement, instantly restoring Him to His full glory, perhaps even a power more powerful than that of the preceding apostles!

He even tried to use the side effects of his authority as positive ones.

After thoroughly testing the essence of this eternal enslavement spell, Xue Law fell silent.

As apostles who entered the Mist Council at almost the same time, the power and authority of the Eighth Apostle, the Undying King, far surpassed that of the incomprehensible Ninth Apostle.

The power of this authority goes beyond that; any entity subject to "eternal enslavement" will be completely controlled by Him, resulting in the total enslavement of body, mind, and soul.

The power of this authority is such that even if any apostle were to fall into its trap, the Eighth Apostle could potentially control them through eternal enslavement.

Of course, this is under ideal circumstances, because it is difficult for apostles to be affected by the Scourge and become undead. This curse may be broken by various methods as soon as it hits them.

So, theoretically speaking, this art of eternal enslavement could even completely control an apostle.

So, when the Eighth Apostle actively turns an apostle into a ghost, is he able to control himself and not manipulate that apostle?

Eternal enslavement is based on the authority of "immortality," so even the Eighth Apostle himself can only use the power of this authority, and cannot completely control it.

Just as Xue's Law can utilize the power of nothingness, but cannot control nothingness from affecting itself.

So, Xue's Law came up with an idea!

While it is possible for an apostle to be eternally enslaved, it is unlikely for an apostle to become an undead. However, if a person who was originally an undead recently ascended to become an apostle, could anyone resist the temptation of completely enslaving another apostle?

"The 911th experiment: In the Pure Land, completely devour 'Eternal Slavery' through the power of nothingness, and determine whether it can cause harm to its source, the Eighth Apostle!" Xue's voice rang out.

Within the Pure Land, this is actually Margaret's own subspace, a region she specifically uses to devour and bear the authority of another world.

However, now it has become Xue's Law and Su Su's experimental site. Even if something goes wrong here, at most Su Su's rank will drop, but it will not have any impact on other areas.

Using nothingness here to devour the soul fragments of the Eighth Apostle in eternal enslavement will not allow the Eighth Apostle's true form to find this place in reverse.

Soon, Xue Dinglu stopped suppressing the power of nothingness, and now he was able to directly devour any unit that came into contact with his soul.

In reality, it involves throwing objects that have direct contact with one's soul into the vast void, causing the void monster within one's body to grow again.

"Ugh, ah!!" A shrill wail came from the spell of eternal enslavement, but the distorted monster of nothingness seemed to sense new energy again, and wrapped the soul fragment of eternal enslavement in its arms, refining it in an instant.

The piercing, agonizing howls continued until the ethereal monster swallowed up both sound and light.

Xue Dinglu felt that the power of nothingness within his body had increased significantly again. Although it had not yet allowed him to directly reach the A-level of nothingness, the power of this authority seemed quite satisfying and continued to expand.

"Experiment, success! Plan in place!" Xue Luding really wanted to put on a pair of glasses and then hold the frame.

At this point, all the steps of the plan have been completed. Next, all that is needed is to adjust oneself to the best condition, and then one can kill the Eighth Apostle in one fell swoop!

It was merely taking advantage of His greed; if the eighth apostle had no greed at all.

Even if he becomes an undead, if he still has no greed for himself, then Xue's plan will be useless.

Although it was a gamble, for Xue Lude, it was simply a matter of becoming an undead again.

The stakes in this gamble were minuscule, but the rewards of victory were immense.

As the ancients said, going all in is a sign of wisdom!
