The desolation and strong sorrow that emitted from the Jade Stele felt familiar to Yang Ling. However, he couldn’t get any results from after research for half a day, and doesn’t understand the meaning of each symbol and picture.
Upon seeing Yang Ling’s frowns, the Dark Dragon King by the side deliberated before saying, “Sir, our Dragon Island has a variety of ancient books. The elder who’s in charge of managing these books might understand the meaning of these symbols!”
“Yes, the books on island will definitely have the Bu Yi Language’s records and explanations. But...” the Flying Dragon King Seylius concurred with the Dark Dragon King. However, he remembered the temper of those old antiques on the Dragon Island and smiled with a helpless expression. “Even if those elders understood the meaning of the Jade Stele, it would probably be harder to have them explain it than for us to figure it out ourselves!”
Although he had only followed his father to the Dragon Island once when he was really young, Seylius knew quite a fair bit of the rules on Dragon Island. If not for special occasions, the elders on the Dragon Island wouldn’t welcome any other species onto the island, and neither would they leave Dragon Island easily. It was evident that it wouldn’t be easy to get them to explain the meaning of the Jade Stele personally.
“Dragon Island... hehe. I will personally send you guys back one day!” Yang Ling smiled with intentions before continuing, “However, the elders on the Dragon Island might not be the only ones that understand the meaning of the Jade Stele. Let’s go and see how’s Rodriguez’s mission coming along!”
Yang Ling has been really interested, very interested, in the legendary Dragon Island all these time.
The Giant Dragon was known to be the strongest Magical Beast in the continent. It has an immense amount of strength and its Draconic Magic was also tremendously powerful. If they could find the Dragon Island and capture all the Giant Dragons on the island, even the powerful Church would have to lay trembling at their feet!
If they could build a large Dragon Cavalry with the Giant Dragons as the base and the Dragon Blood Warrior as their support, they believed that nobody else in the continent would be the Magical Beasts Territory’s match. Even the Evil Demon Island that was populated with demons would crumble in front of his powerful Magical Beast Army.
The idea of taming all the Giant Dragons on the Dragon Island was indeed very seductive. However, it’s all but just a thought!
Yang Ling understood that the clan of Giant Dragons has generations passed down from thousand and millions of years, and the amount of strength they have was beyond anyone’s imagination. He doesn’t think that he would have the power to take upon the Dragon Island alone even after advancing to High Level Divine Wizard. He would definitely be looking for death if he were to intrude Dragon Island rashly, at least for the time being.
Maybe when he has advanced to a Wizard Deity, or formed a Magical Beasts Army made up of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, they could then find a way to do so!
However, it doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t be able to deal with the Jade Stele without the elders from Dragon Clan. Since the Bu Yi Language that were written on the Jade Stele were meant for the dead souls, they might be able to receive surprise findings from the Corpse Wizard King who had spent his time in the Dimension of Dead Souls for thousands of years.
Yang Ling led the five great Wizard Guards and charged over, following the Corpse Wizard King’s soul ripples. They got rid of a group of mummies, killed a bunch of Spirit Snakes and destroyed a group of Skeletons... From which they gained a pair of boots with Agility Boosting Technique and a Ring of Life that could increase the speed of healing for magical powers. After a few hours, they had successfully found the high-spirited Wizard Corpse King.
Although they had expected that the Corpse Wizard King would be unleashing all his powers, they were still shocked at the sight of him with their own eyes.
This fearless guy from the Dimension of Dead Souls had dark energy all over him, and his face had gone completely pale. From afar, he looked like a dried corpse that had just climbed out of the coffin from afar.
Right in front of him was a group of murderous Dead Soul Knights holding onto bone guns, on his left was a group of creepy vampires, and a group of skeletons holding onto bone knives were on his right. Right behind him was a group of Skeleton Spellcasters and archers. The way the troops were weaved together was even more perfect than Casey’s troops!
The dead souls that everyone had met on the way were either slow in their movements or were in a mess and fighting each other. However, the dead souls around Corpse Wizard King were different. They had a tight formation and acted in unison. Occasionally, they would even have Boney Birds reporting on the situation nearby... Instead of a group of dead souls, they should be a troop, a elite troop!
Tsk tsk, this is the power and horror of the Corpse Wizard King?
Yang Ling nodded with praise at the seamless cooperation between the Corpse Wizard King’s Ming Magic Field and the Undead Army.
The Corpse Wizard King had no choice but to hide his real strength and signs of the undead when he’s on ground level so that his identity wouldn’t be exposed. However, he no longer has such worries in the dark and creepy Underground Tomb. The strong Death Energy was his best disguise. Most people would only think that he was a high level dead soul in the Underground Tomb if they were to get anywhere near him. They would never have thought that he was part of Yang Ling’s clan of warriors, Roke.
“Kekeke, this place is great, sir! The death energy here is even stronger than the Dimension of Dead Souls!” The Corpse Wizard King crackled loudly and excitedly upon seeing Yang Ling and the rest.
He had not only trained a troop of Undead Army with his Mind Magic Field within a few hours, but also absorbed a great amount of souls and death energy, which quickly restored his strength. If this continues, he might be able to recover back ninety percent of his strength, or even recovered back to the state of Domain Peak.
He would be able to bring Yang Ling into the Space Crack, and return to his long awaited Dimension of Dead Souls by then.
He felt waves of agitation as he thought of his troops, the death energy that never fades, the countless dead souls and his daughter’s dissipated spirit in the Dimension of Dead Souls!
“Well done, Rodriguez. I’ll leave the guys from the Church to you. I believe that their soul and blood essence would bring you lots of benefits!” Yang Ling smiled as he felt the excitement deep within the Corpse Wizard King, and took out the Space Ring and the Jade Stele.
“Eh, Bu Yi Elegy?”
The Corpse Wizard King burst out yelling upon seeing the symbols and pictures on the Jade Stele. His expression darkened as he scrutinise it.
“I understand now, sir... So that’s the case!” The Corpse Wizard King backed up after looking through it a few times, and mumbled as he emitted a ring of strong dark energy that covered up the Jade Stele. After taking in a deep breath, he explained the meaning of the many symbols and pictures on the Jade Stele to everyone.
Turns out it’s a Soul Suppressing Stele – a magic stele that suppresses the grievance of the dead souls.
Under normal circumstances, the normal dead souls doesn’t have a soul and any consciousness, and were only roaming around with their innate ability. They would only have Soul Fire concentrating in their mind and have their own consciousness and soul after advancing to a high level dead soul..
However, it’s different in the Underground Tomb as almost every zombie, mummy and other dead souls have a soul. The Corpse Wizard King didn’t understand why this was happening previously, but finally understood the reason after seeing the Bu Yi Elegy on the Jade Stele.
According to the elegy, the dead souls in the Underground Tomb were all burial objects for the Pharaoh King. They were the Pharaoh King’s Guards, his earnest followers or his prisoners or war while he was still alive...
After the death of the Pharaoh King, they all came to a bad end and became his burial object. However, it was only the start of the disaster for them!
Some of them were forced to drink the Rotten Corpse Rotting Water which caused their skin to rot quickly, while some of the others were trapped in a coffin with numerous scorpions and were bitten to death. There were also some others that were cursed and had their soul shifted into Spirit Snakes... and became a different type of dead soul in a conscious state, raging with grievances.
After protecting the Underground Tomb with the burial objects, the Pharaoh King who built the Underground Tomb constructed another Jade Stele as prevention to suppress the dead souls that were raging with grievance.
“Tsk tsk. The Pharaoh King who had built the Underground Tomb was indeed evil and ruthless! But I like it, kekeke!” The Corpse Wizard King smiled as he looked at the dead souls under his control and felt the strong death energy in the air. The stronger the dead souls in the Underground Tomb were, and the stronger the death energy was, the more beneficial it would be to the Corpse Wizard King.
The perimeter of the Underground Tomb was creepy enough, much less the deep ends of the Tomb!
Yang Ling’s expression darkened after learning the situation. If the Pharaoh King had put so much effort at the perimeter of the Underground Tomb, the deep ends of the Underground Tomb would definitely be more complicated. Maybe they had underestimated the danger and difficulty of this trip!
“Sir, the Bu Yi Language on the Jade Stele can be used to suppress souls. However, it also has a terrifying Curse of the Soul hidden in it that can turn all the dead souls in the Underground Tomb berserk and increase its attack power!” The Corpse Wizard King deliberated for a moment before continuing, “If I’ve guessed correctly, this was the Pharaoh King’s real reason for constructing the Jade Stele!”
The more torture it had suffered while it was alive, the stronger the grievance of the dead soul. It has been imprinted on the soul and would never disappear even after a thousand and million of years. The dead souls would turn berserk and increase in its power of attack once the curse comes into contact with the pain deep within their souls, which will become a butcher knife for the Pharaoh King when it revives.
Most people couldn’t understand Bu Yi Language and would never find the hidden Undead Curse. Thus, even if they were able to obtain the Jade Stele, it would be useless to them. However, the guy who constructed the Underground Tomb would never have thought that it would ever meet Corpse Wizard King, the old monster from the Dimension of Dead Souls!
Increase in its power of attack?
After understanding the situation, Yang Ling smiled coldly as he remembered the steady and careful Church Army. “Lead your Undead Army and chase after the fellows from the Church, Rodriguez. Let’s see how powerful is the Curse of the Soul on the Jade Stele!”
“Kekeke. Rodriguez definitely won’t disappoint you, sir!” The Corpse Wizard King said as he bowed to Yang Ling with his right hand touching his chest. He commanded the Undead Army to march forward obscurely, chasing behind the Church army’s footsteps.
The berserk dead souls, the mysterious Curse of the Soul and the powerful Corpse Wizard...
Yang Ling smiled coldly as the Corpse Wizard King left quickly, and led the Dark Dragon King, Scorpion King Ymort and the other Wizard Guards following quietly behind. This time round, the guys from the Church would have their a layer of their skin peeled off even if they were able to escape death, and let them get a taste of what it’s like to be up against him!
