Chapter 608: Chapter 570: Emptying the Treasury

RUMBLE!

The central region of the Ancient Battlefield.

A peculiar sight appeared.

A huge bulge rose from the ground. Its lower half was made of rolling hills and rocks.

Its upper half was a hemisphere of blood-red liquid.

It looked like a crimson abscess growing out of the earth.

From within the earthly abscess came enormous rumbles and explosive blasts.

The interior was shrouded in the gray fog of the Death Sky Curtain, and within the hazy mist, five-colored splendors continuously erupted.

The Undead suffered heavy casualties.

The Undead Army prepared by the Legendary Witch Lich couldn’t even touch the hem of the Jade Prince’s robes before being ruthlessly annihilated by the Power of the Demigod Artifact.

It seemed the Witch Lich’s efforts were all for naught.

Even a Tier Six Undead would be reduced to ash if so much as grazed by the Sword Qi erupting from the Demigod Artifact Longsword.

A Legend-tier Undead would be slain in a single strike.

The Jade Prince calmly scanned his surroundings, searching for the mastermind controlling these Undead.

Li Wei had opened a Teleportation Gate to send him here, but hadn’t come over himself.

Therefore, the mastermind here had to be Li Wei’s accomplice.

Based on the information the Jade Prince had on Li Wei,

he knew Li Wei seemed to have ties to a Legendary Witch Lich.

Seeing the nigh-endless Undead all around, the Jade Prince knew a Legendary Witch Lich must be controlling them from behind the scenes.

He just couldn’t understand why this Legendary Witch Lich would go to such lengths to deal with him.

’Its attacks are clearly having no effect, so why isn’t it changing its strategy?’

The Jade Prince couldn’t fathom the Legendary Witch Lich’s thinking.

He decided to just assume that after being Undead for so long, the Legendary Witch Lich’s brain had atrophied and its intelligence had declined, leading it to these useless actions.

Trying to find a Legendary Witch Lich skilled in hiding itself in a place teeming with Undead...

...was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

After searching for a while without finding any trace of the Legendary Witch Lich, the Jade Prince decided he didn’t want to stay any longer and prepared to leave.

He flew toward the sky and unleashed a full-power strike toward the heavens.

A beam of five-colored Sword Qi shot toward the sky.

WHOOSH! BANG!

The Sword Qi struck the great red dome in the sky, instantly shattering it.

Just as he was about to fly out, the dome restored itself in an instant.

Its recovery speed was simply unimaginable.

The Jade Prince’s eyes narrowed. He swung his sword several more times, hacking the red dome in the sky to pieces.

A torrent of red, bloody rain fell from the sky.

He flew toward the opening.

Suddenly, his expression froze as he looked around.

Without realizing it, he had reappeared at the center of the encirclement.

This was the very place he had started.

Looking up, he saw the countless drops of bloody rain fly back into the sky, reforming the vast, crimson dome.

The Jade Prince scanned his surroundings, realizing the space here had been distorted.

’Normal methods won’t get me out of here.’

A giant worm composed entirely of white bone slithered along the spatial barriers, gnawing one hole after another and carving out twisting, winding spatial passages.

One of the Twelve Deadpool, the space-devouring Skeleton Worm, Nonggesi.

This was Nonggesi, a Space Worm imbued with the Power of Space, created by the Legendary Witch Lich through special means.

Nonggesi’s original form was a Space-Time Worm that lived on the barriers of spacetime.

After being discovered by the Legendary Witch Lich, it was transformed into the space-devouring Skeleton Worm via an Undead Rebirth Ceremony.

The various spatial wormholes created by Nonggesi on the spatial barriers trapped the Jade Prince, making him unable to leave the area.

Within the gray fog, an inconspicuous gray cloud slowly drifted toward the Jade Prince, attracting none of his attention.

The gray cloud looked quite peculiar, studded all over with all sorts of dilapidated feathers.

It looked like a ball of cotton stuck full of feathers.

Before he knew it, the gray cloud drew close to the Jade Prince and stuck to his body. The defensive glow of the Tri-Color Demigod Artifact began to fade.

When its brilliance had dimmed to a certain point, the Jade Prince finally noticed the strange thing hidden in the gray fog.

He hurriedly swung his sword to strike the gray cloud.

However, the Demigod Artifact Longsword in his hand passed right through the gray cloud, completely unable to touch it.

This was the Feather of the God of Death, brought back from the Netherworld by the Legendary Witch Lich.

A bizarre entity that floated about within the Netherworld.

It possessed a degree of self-awareness, but its intelligence was low.

It was equivalent to a pre-programmed robot.

Even in the Netherworld, it was an infamous thing, loathed by man and beast alike.

The Feather of the God of Death would kill any living or dead creature it encountered, reaping their souls.

Some in the Netherworld called it the wings of the Death God, a Servant of the Death God.

They saw it as a tool used by the Death God to reap souls.

It was something to be avoided at all costs.

The Feather of the God of Death’s movement speed wasn’t fast; one could even call it leisurely.

Therefore, as long as one was careful not to get close to it and quickly moved away upon seeing it, there was generally no danger.

However, once entangled by the Feather of the God of Death, death was certain.

The Feather of the God of Death contained the Law of Death.

Even Demigod Level Undead found it difficult to escape its pursuit.

This was also why the denizens of the Netherworld believed the Feather of the God of Death was related to the Death God himself.

It was unknown how the Legendary Witch Lich had managed to bring the Feather of the God of Death to the Prime Material World.

But now, the Feather of the God of Death was indeed under its control.

The control wasn’t precise; it was more like guidance.

The Feather of the God of Death clung to the Jade Prince’s body, the Power of the Law of Death continuously weakening the defense of his Demigod Artifact.

When the Jade Prince found that he couldn’t harm the Feather of the God of Death and that the power of his Defensive Demigod Artifact was still weakening, a trace of panic finally appeared on his face.

"What the hell is this thing?"
