Chapter 488: Young King and Old Ascended Powerhouse (6K)_2
```
"In any case, continue monitoring; once the apocalypse comes, we must be prepared to act immediately."
"Should we move the populace to the Taixuan Realm as much as possible? Defending just one realm, perhaps our chances would be much higher."
"...No, we cannot be certain which way the disaster will spread; the Taixuan Realm might not necessarily be the safest place. We've done everything we can do. The rest is up to time and the younger generation."
...
Shattered Isles.
Nameless Heishan.
Dead Bone dominated an Undead Legion, stationed here.
It sat in meditation with eyes closed, its whole body connected to the Heishan around it. It was an Undead, but at this moment it was breathing, and the entire Heishan breathed with it, as if the mountain itself had come to life, much like when it was mutated by the Red Mist. However, now it used a different method.
"Wáng Líng Zāi Xī."
"The more death it spreads, the stronger the Wáng Líng Zāi Xī becomes. The stronger the Undead Army, the further it can spread death."
"This, too, is a concept. With death comes life; that is an everlasting truth."
Placed in its context,
The Undead Army slaying monsters equates to death.
The Undead Army using the corpses of the monsters to create new Undead is rebirth.
Death and rebirth are the path it is currently undertaking.
Dead Bone was very clear this path was the right one, its intuition, its experience, its judgments were all so.
If the path is right, progress will not be slow.
But what's right is just the path; beyond that, it needed a sword to cut through all obstacles.
How to integrate the power of concept into its combat method to enable it to perform perfectly was a problem it pondered deeply.
The Great Sword of Death's Lament appeared in its hands.
With one swing of its sword, the seemingly insubstantial Sword Light carried the intent of instant death.
This was the concept of death.
Small as a blade of grass, large as a person, a mountain, a river, a sun.
It could endow all living things and inanimate objects with eternal death, ultimately.
But,
"How rough!"
"The true essence of death should not be just this, especially considering there is also birth."
It wasn't satisfied, but it knew that being hasty was useless.
Its power of concept was growing stronger, and the scope it encompassed was constantly changing. To develop a perfect combat method on this basis was exceedingly difficult.
"Time to go back."
"This island realm is full of destruction and death; it's a nice place but not as good as the Domain of the Deceased."
It thought, then suddenly looked into the distance.
Some extraordinarily strong entity, brimming with rich Power of Death, appeared under the obscure night.
The comer had no intention of hiding their tracks.
Dressed all in black.
Black armor, a black warhorse, blending with the night yet more noticeable than all other things beneath this night sky.
Like a Blazing Sun.
With intense eyes.
"This person, could they be the king I seek?"
The Black Knight looked towards the summit of the mountain.
A figure seemingly inconspicuous but still locked onto by his gaze instantly.
The Death Knight contemplated for a moment, then pulled the reins, the Nightmare Warhorse that had been moving at a leisurely pace instantly neighed. The next moment, space ripples like layers of waves, and the Knight on the Nightmare Warhorse had already traversed dozens of miles, arriving within Nameless Heishan.
The silent Heishan immediately boiled over, a host of High-level Undead awakened from their slumber, and the Power of Death that reigned quietly in this place surged upward, like vast rivers.
Three Lords of Roushan thumped thumped thumped and intercepted the Knight.
The leading Lord of Roushan, with enough wisdom, spoke, "Stranger, leave this place and no one will get hurt."
Its massive body, constructed of countless pieces of flesh and standing over ten meters tall, stared intently at the figure walking low in the sky not far away.
But the Death Knight didn't respond.
His gaze wasn't on these few Lords of Roushan.
He simply swung his sword, and the Sword Light was dim, like a breath casually blown by a commoner, with no intimidating force. Nonetheless, this faint Sword Light effortlessly cut through the black torrents of energy, the overlapping Shadow Shields in front of Roushan, and the extremely tough flesh bodies.
The lower bodies of the three Lords of Roushan were uniformly sliced apart, unable to recover in any way.
Only the swollen upper half of the Roushan remained, rolling down the mountainside with a gurgle.
First in rank Lord of Roushan, known as 'Big Fatty,' couldn't hold it in anymore—how had it been one-shot?
Boss save... ah spit.
"Brothers, get him!"
A Frost Giant Dragon dove from the mountain peak; a Shadow Dragon leapt from the darkness; Vampire Marquist licked their blades in the shadows, their Red Eyes slowly lighting up.
The Death Knight looked around, his skeletal face seemed to be smiling.
"Ah, the nostalgia."
He murmured.
Once more he pulled the reins, the warhorse neighed, an invisible domain spread, enveloping the heavens and the earth, wrapping the entire Heishan and the surrounding dozens of miles within it.
In an instant, everything seemed to slow down.
The Lords of Roushan, Shadow Dragons, Vampire Marquis... every one of the High-level Undead felt as though sinking into a dream, their consciousness seemed to strip away. They were clearly surrounding this Black Knight, yet it seemed, they were still millions of meters away from him.
Heishan, Undead, heavens, earth, the world, all being stripped away.
Only two figures remained.
The Black Knight holding the power over heaven and earth, and, the sovereign atop of Heishan.
'It's the power of concept.'
'Initially, against the Lords of Roushan, the concept of severance was used. Thus, even if the Sword Light contained only a weak force, nothing could withstand it, and now...'
It was fear.
The power of the Nightmare domain, involving many aspects.
Interfering with space, interfering with spirit.
And the power of fear concept makes this already formidable power, even more unblockable. Continue your saga on empire
