Chapter 201 - 99: Lord of the Undead, the Death God’s Chant

Chen Yu stared at the text before him, stunned.

’Lord of the Undead?’

’What kind of Skill is this?!’

’Dark Element?’

After a moment of shock, Chen Yu finally snapped out of it and immediately opened the Skill details to take a closer look.

[Skill: Lord of the Undead, Epic Level! The Demon God of Hell, the Death God sings. Rejoice, for you are the master of Hell! Consume Spiritual Power to manifest the shadow of the Undead. You will be blessed by the power of the Undead and achieve an Undead Form...]

"!!!!"

"Epic Level!"

Chen Yu shot up into a sitting position.

His eyes gleamed as he stared at the Skill’s description.

’Manifest the shadow of the Undead... an Undead Form...’

’This Skill seems incredibly powerful!’

Chen Yu stroked his chin as he read over the details.

After calming down, Chen Yu tried to activate Lord of the Undead.

"HUMMM—!"

A dark light emanated from him. In an instant, a mysterious power coursed through his entire body. As the ghostly light flared, a phantom emerged from within Chen Yu, its body wreathed in green flames. The eerie glow lit up the room, making it feel like a scene from Hell!

The sight was utterly terrifying!

’Is this the shadow of the Undead?’

Chen Yu blinked as he watched the phantom burn with green flames.

It was about the height of a person and didn’t seem all that powerful.

However, Chen Yu could feel a change within himself, a definite sense of enhancement.

Then, with a mere thought, the Undead phantom before him merged with his body.

Instantly, Chen Yu’s body was engulfed in green flames. The next second, he had taken on the same form as the Undead phantom.

Hovering between the corporeal and the ethereal.

Just like a ghost!

Chen Yu gently raised his hand. Green flames flickered, and a green Flame Ball appeared.

Undead Attack!

It allowed him to launch an Undead Flame attack against enemies.

This attack could inflict both physical and spiritual damage simultaneously.

Undead Scorching!

A hit from the Undead Flame could burn an opponent’s mind and soul.

But with no one to test it on, Chen Yu couldn’t be sure just how powerful this Undead Attack was.

After experimenting for a bit, Chen Yu returned to his normal form. The green flames vanished, as if the entire thing had been an illusion.

’If I use this Skill out in the open, I’m afraid I’ll be mistaken for a monster from an Alien Race...’

Chen Yu clicked his tongue and muttered to himself.

The Skill was powerful, but it just didn’t look right.

The further he progressed, the stranger his Skills became!

The Lord of the Undead Skill was bizarre, and it had a trump card that Chen Yu hadn’t tried yet.

Undead Calamity!

It transformed the power of the Undead into the Undead Calamity, and its destructive power was immense.

Chen Yu didn’t dare test it rashly; after all, he was in the middle of the city.

He had no desire to be targeted as some kind of monster.

An Epic Level Skill was bound to be impressive, but it was still only at its initial stage.

Once the Skill’s stage was raised, its power would be immense.

’The remaining Source of Life should be enough for an upgrade. I’ll level it up now.’

Snapping back to the present, Chen Yu immediately began leveling up Lord of the Undead.

Leveling it up from the initial stage, he quickly raised the Lord of the Undead Skill to the Ultimate Stage.

His Source of Life was almost completely depleted.

At the Ultimate Stage, Chen Yu tried out the Undead Skill again.

Purple flames now burned within his body as he transformed into a purple Undead Form.

The very air around him seemed to warp.

A purple Flame Ball materialized, filling the room with an aura of destruction.

Chen Yu felt that if he were to unleash it, the entire villa district would likely be razed to the ground.

With a thought, the purple Flame Ball vanished.

Then, the air warped, and a giant, clawed hand made of purple fire materialized out of thin air.

It was enormous, taking up most of the space in the room.

Claw of the Undead!

This was a new ability that came with reaching the Ultimate Stage.

It too could unleash astonishing power.

’Hmm, the color changed. At least it doesn’t look as bizarre now.’

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Purple was definitely an improvement over green. With another thought, the Claw of the Undead vanished, and his body returned to normal.

As for testing the Undead Calamity, he would have to wait until he returned to the South Sea tomorrow.

There was no hurry.

A Skill that could reach Epic Level was guaranteed to be powerful.

Snapping out of his reverie, Chen Yu opened his interface again to check his status.

Name: Chen Yu

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Eight 0/2,000,000,000) [Sole Talent]

Skills: Frozen World (Awakened Legend Level 2 1,978/100,000,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend Ultimate 985/400,000,000), Will of the Gods (Golden Legend Ultimate 687/600,000,000), Divine Speed Power (Legend Ultimate 1,023/300,000,000), Destructive Celestial Light (Epic Ultimate 230/500,000,000), Senluo’s Fury (Legend Ultimate 1,375/300,000,000), Lord of the Undead (Epic Ultimate 0/500,000,000)

Source of Life: 11,085,000

Skill Points: 0

’It increased fivefold...’

Chen Yu’s heart sank as he looked at the interface.

Evolving his physique to Tier Eight had only required four hundred million Source of Life, but going from Tier Eight to Tier Nine required a whopping two billion.

’Two billion...’

’I wonder when I’ll be able to level up again.’

Chen Yu sighed to himself.

This round of upgrades, including his Skills, would require over four billion Source of Life in total.

Even if he encountered a beast tide of today’s scale every single day, it would still take over a month.

And it was impossible to encounter a beast tide of this scale every day for a month straight.

’No rush. One step at a time. Perhaps there’s hope in the Stellar Battlefield.’

Chen Yu’s gaze drifted out the window to the night sky.

’Time for bed.’

Pulling his gaze back, Chen Yu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

...

The next morning, Chen Yu and his group set out for the South Sea once more.

"Brother Yu, aren’t you going to exchange your Spirit Pearls?" An Ran asked, looking at Chen Yu as they left Hai City.

Chen Yu gazed at the azure sea, his expression calm. "There’s no hurry. I’ll accumulate some more before I exchange them. A little more time won’t make a difference."

"They might not have that many to give you all at once," An Ran added.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Let’s go. We’ll see how things are today before we decide," Chen Yu said. With that, he activated his Biological Force Field and flew off toward the depths of the South Sea, taking An Ran and Baili Qing with him.

Dongfang Yao and Zhuang Qi followed close behind, and they all soon vanished over the surface of the sea.
