"Do you remember that big bug in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Ilex asked with a smile.

"It's a million-year-old soul beast, after all," Ling Bai said, a bit embarrassed. "Elder I, its name is Tianmeng Ice Silkworm..."

"It's a minor issue; ice silkworms are still bugs."

Ilex didn't care much about the name, waving his hand and continuing, "When it descended, I noticed its life force was extraordinarily vast and mighty. However, when converted into Life Gold, it was only the size of a teardrop, more than enough to heal your teacher's old injuries. I have already transformed into a gray soul ring and parasitized the Death Prison Spider Emperor, and one-fifth of the Life Gold is sufficient to stabilize my soul, freeing me from the worry of my residual soul dissipating.

Xiaobai, most of the Life Gold will still be absorbed by you!"

"Hmm..."

What was once an extremely difficult task suddenly became simple. Jianmu Douluo was out of danger, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was preserved, the backing mountain grew even taller, and the threat from the main sect diminished. A series of pleasant surprises left Ling Bai somewhat unprepared. After calming down and thinking seriously, he proposed a plan: "Life Gold is a divine treasure of life. My teacher possesses the top-tier life attribute soul beast, the Jianmu Sacred Tree. Therefore, I plan to give him three times the size of a teardrop of Life Gold to help him heal and advance further, breaking through to the pinnacle of mortals on the Tang Sect Continent, the 99th-level Sealed Douluo.

Elder Mu, the Dragon God Douluo, has limited time, and he will certainly pass away within three years. The Sun Moon Empire has three powerful figures: the Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, and the Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming. I, the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the three empires, and Shrek Academy all need a powerful limit Douluo to maintain order, and my teacher is the most suitable candidate.

In addition, one-fifth of the Life Gold is only enough to stabilize your residual soul. I believe taking two-thirds of it to directly repair the soul would be more effective. The remaining Life Gold should be kept as two teardrop-sized reserves, and the rest I will absorb.

Elder I, what do you think?"

"What reason do I have to reject it?"

Ilex shook his head with a bitter smile, his gaze towards Ling Bai becoming increasingly gentle and affectionate. While others would desperately want to absorb all the Life Gold immediately upon knowing its effects, Ling Bai had previously chosen to give up and now voluntarily reduced his share. Each of these actions allowed Ilex to see the pure heart of a child.

At this moment, Ilex truly regarded Ling Bai as his own child, determined to pass on all his knowledge to him.

"We shouldn't delay. Let's start absorbing the Life Gold now. Afterward, I'll give you a gift." "A gift?"

Ilex smiled but didn't say anything. The next second, his eyes shimmered with a gray, lifeless ripple, and a tangible spiritual force rushed towards the Soul Devouring Dagger.

"Death, holiness, light..."

From Ilex's spiritual force, Ling Bai felt the familiar death attribute of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the holy light similar to that of the Six-Winged Angel. It was undeniable that they had a special connection, their attributes aligning even more closely than those of a father and son.

The moment the gray spiritual force entered the Soul Devouring Dagger, the infamous weapon, which struck fear into the hearts of all soul engineers, trembled violently like a pot of boiling water. It emitted a series of piercing screams, as if a wicked person was making their final wail before death.

Ilex let out a cold hum and said, "Injecting evil and curses into the Life Gold, which is the essence of life, is an interesting idea, but the creator got it backward. Life force is the core of Life Gold.

Purifying Light, return to the source!"

Ilex shot a grayish-white beam, and the Soul Devouring Dagger suddenly burst into a thick black smoke, forming a twisted and grotesque man's face. The evil soul master's soul, parasitized within, screamed and lunged at Ilex, attempting to devour him just as it had done with the dagger's previous owners.

However, before the Holy Death Spirit Mage, all resistance was futile. The evil soul master's soul was easily controlled, and the black evil aura dissipated under the Purifying Light. The Soul Devouring Dagger's dark body became as clear as green crystal, its malevolent aura completely gone, radiating a vibrant and wondrous life force.

The true form of Life Gold was revealed.

Ilex didn't say much, cutting the Life Gold according to Ling Bai's plan. Most of the Life Gold fell into Ling Bai's hands.

The moment he absorbed it, Ling Bai's body and spirit sea were both dyed green. The green light of Life Gold illuminated everything, and the Death Prison Spider Emperor couldn't help but squint its eight crimson eyes, unsure of what to think.

An unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his body. Ling Bai had grown up in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, consuming countless treasures and elixirs like Minghuang Pills, Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, Soul Nourishing Pills, and Mystical Water Pills, but none of them could compare to Life Gold.

The immense life energy, like a clear spring, washed over every corner of his body from the outside in. Although Life Gold had no effect on soul power, its profound impact on the essence of life would gradually manifest as his cultivation deepened.

At the same time, Ling Bai's spirit sea underwent a dramatic transformation. Over the years, the Death Prison Spider Emperor had wreaked havoc, leaving his spirit sea like a land ravaged by disaster, filled with cracks. Now, it had become an endless azure plain, smooth and flat, with a central lake of greenish-gold water, its ripples nurturing the spirit sea with a rich life

force.

Life and death in harmony, pure and unblemished.

Ling Bai moved his body, the sound of blood flowing like a gentle stream, exuding a vibrant life force. His bones, muscles, meridians, and organs, as well as his spirit, were all enhanced. After absorbing the Life Gold, Ling Bai felt he could take on two and a half of his former self

from thirty minutes ago.

"Done?"

Ilex's voice rang out, and Ling Bai looked over to see Ilex's body becoming clearer and more solid, his gray eyes shining more vividly. The effects of the Life Gold were evident.

"Thank you, Elder I."

"The Life Gold is a deserved opportunity for you. I should be the one thanking you," Ilex laughed. "I stand by my word. Here, I have a small gift for you."

As he spoke, Ilex extended his right index finger and quickly drew in the air. A strange gray six-pointed star array silently appeared beneath Ling Bai, forming a large mouth that

swallowed his body.

The spatial oscillation faded, and he found himself in a dimly lit world. A peculiar purple sun hung in the sky, and the land was barren and undulating, the soil as dark as ink, with no plants in sight. A cold, chilling aura enveloped him from all directions.

The Death Prison Spider Emperor took control, and eight Death Prison Spider Spears burst

from his back. The two soul rings, one gray and one black, glowed deeply. Ling Bai's face showed a look of enjoyment; this place was filled with the aura of death, and he had a good idea of where he was.

Ilex appeared beside Ling Bai and said, "Xiaobai, I hesitated for a long time about whether to teach you Necromancy. In most people's eyes, Necromancy is associated with corpses, souls, and death, a power that is extremely evil and bloody, and it also places immense pressure on

the user's mind and body.

But I truly can't bear to let the Necromancy I created with all my life's efforts be lost to history. After much consideration and thorough examination of you, I have finally decided to pass it on to you in its entirety."

"I understand your hesitation, Elder I," Ling Bai said calmly. "But whether it's Necromancy or the Death Prison Spider Emperor, the abilities themselves are not inherently right or wrong. The user's character is the most crucial factor. Even the most sacred and righteous Six- Winged Angel, if used to recklessly slaughter, becomes an evil soul beast. Conversely, if an evil soul beast resists corruption and strives for the light, he is a righteous and pure soul

master." "You've always done that, so I trust you," Ilex said. "The gray soul ring contains all the knowledge of Necromancy and the framework I created. The permissions are now open to you. In the future, you only need to enhance your spiritual power to freely use them. There is one thing you must remember: no matter how powerful a necromancer is, they will expend their life force when using Necromancy. Even I, who became a Lich through a special magical ritual, still experienced physical decay after using certain extremely powerful

Necromancy.

Fortunately, Life Gold can perfectly solve this flaw. If you ever encounter Life Gold again,

don't miss the opportunity."

Ling Bai instantly understood, translating it in his mind:

"Sending warmth to Brother Daimao, discussing life with Sister Yilong."

"This Necromantic Demiplane is the gift I'm giving you. I created it to study a Necromancy technique, in your Tang Sect Continent's terms, a soul skill.

I left thirteen types of undead creatures, and after thousands of years of fighting and evolution, countless powerful undead have emerged in the Necromantic Demiplane. From today, you will be their sovereign, with all the undead at your command."

"Thank you, Elder I!"

Ling Bai was overjoyed. The Necromantic Demiplane was filled with countless Skeleton Soldiers, Liches, Death Knights, and Abominations. If he learned the legendary magic Undead Catastrophe, he could easily overwhelm several Sealed Douluo with a horde of undead!

No wonder the Holy Death Spirit Mage was so generous!

"Get to know the world you will lead."

Ilex pointed to the distance, and Ling Bai slowly moved forward. Climbing over a hill, he saw

vast numbers of white skeletons turn their heads in unison, their eye sockets glowing with emerald soul fires, numbering in the hundreds.

Upon seeing Ling Bai, the skeletons hesitated for a second before charging at him fearlessly. The life force was a fatal attraction to the undead, and consuming flesh and blood would aid their evolution. Any undead creature could reach the pinnacle through continuous evolution.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight skeletons charged forward, using their own bodies as weapons. They extended their pale bone claws, reaching for Ling Bai's chest. Skeleton Soldiers were the lowest-level undead in the Necromantic Demiplane. Most of them were only at the soul master level, with a few reaching the one-ring soul master threshold.

Ling Bai didn't need to use soul skills to deal with them. A sweeping strike from the eight Death Prison Spider Spears instantly shattered the Skeleton Soldiers into bone fragments.

After the Skeleton Soldiers shattered, the soul fires in their heads did not extinguish but instantly flew away.

The first soul ring of the Death Prison Spider Emperor glowed brightly, and Ling Bai pointed

at the ground. The shattered skeletons reformed at an astonishing speed, and the new soul fires turned gray.

"You can recreate skeletons on your first try, showing a high aptitude for Necromancy," Ilex

said with satisfaction.

"Not really..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Contrary to Ilex's praise, Ling Bai was unsatisfied with the result. The new skeletons had lost

Prison

their original dark and gloomy aura, faintly radiating a sense of light. Although Necromancy was the first soul ring of the Death Prison Spider Emperor, it seemed unrelated to the Death ider Emperor, and there a clear disconnect between Ling Bai and the new skeletons, as if he had blindly copied answers without any personal thought. After a moment's contemplation, Ling Bai raised a Death Prison Spider Spear and thrust it into a Skeleton Soldier. Energy continuously flowed into the body, and the soul fire turned

from gray to crimson, the light attribute transforming into the ultimate death of the Death

Prison Spider Emperor.

Death Prison Skeleton!

"Yes, that's more like it."

Patting the Death Prison Skeleton's head, Ling Bai finally smiled. The Light Skeleton was

Ilex's creation, while the Death Prison Skeleton was his own. The of Necromancy and the ultimate enhancement made the Death Prison Skeleton far more powerful than the Light Skeleton, and the ultimate death was not restrained by the righteous attributes of light and

lightning.

"You..."

Staring at the Death Prison Skeleton, which radiated power but was obedient to Ling Bai, Ilex was speechless, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

"I spent a lifetime studying Necromancy, and you easily modified it?" "Not really a modification," Ling Bai explained. "The core idea is to replace your light with

my death. As you know, standing on the shoulders of giants, the view is always broader." Ilex looked up at the sky, annoyed. It was so easy for him to say, and he was so talented!

The Holy Death Spirit Mage, who had dominated the continent in his past life, was actually discouraged by a beginner today.

Seeing that Ilex didn't want to talk, Ling Bai didn't press the issue. There was much to do, as he still needed to study the Necromantic Demiplane and Necromancy.

The gray soul ring expanded like a gray sun rising, its light illuminating every corner of the Necromantic Demiplane. A massive pressure descended from the sky, forcing countless undead to kneel, with only a few particularly powerful ones daring to roar at the gray sun,

challenging the divine authority.

The Sovereign's Seal!

Whoever possessed it was the sovereign of the Necromantic Demiplane.

The Necromantic Demiplane was about the size of a large city. Ling Bai reached the center in

an hour, seeing three colossal creatures over twenty meters tall, their eye sockets burning

with emerald flames, majestic and fierce!

The kings of the Necromantic Demiplane, Bone Dragons!

"Sealed Douluo..."

From the overwhelming aura of the Bone Dragons, Ling Bai deduced that they had

undoubtedly broken through to the Sealed Douluo level. Two were around level 92, and the

strongest was at level 95!
