Chapter 311 The Mist of Death
Although Lin Tian has already demonstrated terrifying combat power, the nature of the Undead Realm is too unique.
"No need," Lin Tian replied succinctly. "Just tell me the exact coordinates."
Sima Han sighed, knowing that persuasion was useless. He handed Lin Tian the coordinate runes of the secret realm copied from the ancient texts, along with a rudimentary map of the surrounding terrain.
The coordinates are here.
There are also quite a few poison and undead monsters in the Sighing Swamp. Although they are not high level, they are very annoying. Be careful.
Also, if possible... try not to stay in the secret realm for too long, as the erosion from the death fog is cumulative.
"Thank you." Lin Tian took the coordinates and map, then turned and left.
Watching his retreating figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Sima Han stroked his chin, lost in thought.
This kid... he's collecting top-tier job change materials... what job is he going to change to? Could it be...?
An ancient, legendary phrase flashed through his mind, startling him. He then shook his head and chuckled, "Impossible... that kind of thing only exists in theory..."
......
Lin Tian walked out of the Refining Guild, ignoring Shazima who was still lingering at the entrance, glaring at him with resentment. He activated the teleportation beacon and returned to his residence in Luoxia City. He needed to sort through his gains and plan his next move.
Celia obediently went to prepare tea. Lin Tian then opened the quest panel and looked at the "Job Change Material Collection" list, where "Abyssal Demon Iron" was already checked.
"Abyssal Demon Iron (2/2), Completed."
"Immortal Soul (0/1)"
"Fragment of Law (0/5)"
"Astral Dust (0/10)"
"Eternal Well Water (0/1)"
"Star Core (0/1)"
Five more materials are needed, and five different danger zones are required.
There was no fear in Lin Tian's eyes, only a calm and focused concentration.
He took a sip of the tea Celia offered him and turned his gaze westward.
Next stop, the Forgotten Realm of the Dead.
......
The Forgotten Realm of the Dead is located more than 700 miles west of Starmoon City, and requires traversing a dangerous area called the "Sighing Swamp".
Lin Tian did not choose to teleport into the secret realm.
In such unstable and irregular areas, reckless teleportation may result in falling into spatial turbulence or being directly eroded by the fog of death.
He chose the relatively safer approach—teleporting to the edge of the Sighing Swamp and then flying over.
By alternating between [Blink] and [Star Leap], and coordinating with the repulsive field of Shinra Tensei for long-distance gliding, in less than an hour, the vast area shrouded in a permanent gray-white mist appeared on the horizon.
As you approach the edge of the secret realm, a chilling, deathly aura, seemingly capable of freezing your soul, washes over you.
The grayish-white mist of death was not still, but slowly churning and flowing, like a giant beast breathing in its sleep.
Beneath the mist, the earth appears a sickly gray-black, devoid of vegetation, with only jagged rocks and the occasional exposed, pale skeletons.
There were no insects chirping or birds singing in the air; only the sound of the wind whistling through the cracks in the rocks, like the mournful wailing of a ghost.
Lin Tian hovered above the edge of the secret realm, attempting to probe the mist with his spiritual power.
The feedback was one of chaos, coldness, and an endless aura of death. The mist did indeed have a corrosive effect, constantly trying to dissolve his spiritual power and bringing a slight chill aimed at the very source of life.
However, the magic power flows automatically, forming a thin film of starlight on the body surface, easily isolating these corrosive elements.
The protective effect of the law brought by the "All Laws Return to the Flow" also made him almost immune to the weakening effect of this environment.
"This is it." Lin Tian confirmed the coordinates and, with Celia in tow, flew into the deathly mist without hesitation.
Upon entering the fog, visibility was severely limited; even with Lin Tian's eyesight, the visibility was no more than fifty meters.
The range of mental perception is also compressed to about 100 meters.
All around was a deathly still gray-white, and my sense of direction became blurred.
The ground beneath your feet is soft and seems to be made of bone meal and ash, making no sound when you step on it.
They hadn't gone far when the fog ahead began to swirl.
Click... Click...
A sickening, tooth-grinding sound of bones grinding together rang out.
One after another, pale skeletons, wielding rusted swords or rusty bone spears, with eerie green soul flames flickering in their eye sockets, staggered to their feet from the depths of the mist and from beneath the ashes.
They were numerous, appearing in the blink of an eye in the hundreds, and the mist continued to "spit out" even more.
【Resurrected Skeleton Soldiers Lv.55-57 (Normal)】
【Characteristics: Undead (immune to most negative physiological states such as mind control, bleeding, and poisoning), blessed by the Mist of Death (movement speed +10% while in the mist, non-holy/light damage taken -15%)
They were silent (the undead do not roar), but the gathering chill of death and hostility was crystal clear, surging in like a tide.
Celia wrinkled her small nose: "So many skeletons... Brother Tian, should we clear them out?"
Looking at the seemingly endless stream of low-level undead, Lin Tian recalled Sima Han's warning—"Unlimited resurrection."
He didn't waste time on these ragtag soldiers.
To obtain the "Immortal Soul," you must find the lich, and the best way to deal with a boss that can infinitely resurrect minions is...
Lin Tian took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and formed a more complex and ancient hand seal in front of his chest than he had in the Lava Mountains.
The power of the stars around him began to resonate and intertwine with the deeper power of domination.
He stopped holding back and directly used the strongest area-wide clearing and purification methods available.
[Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Fire Burns the City] - Activate!
The long, obscure chanting, each syllable seemingly invoking the fundamental rules of the world, resounded in the deathly silence of the undead realm, like a great bell, causing the surrounding deathly mist to churn violently!
As the chanting began, the space behind Lin Tian started to distort and collapse, and a phantom of a void sea burning with endless golden holy flames slowly emerged.
A terrifying aura of holiness and purification, like the sun descending, clashed violently with the rules of this land of death!
The approaching skeleton soldiers had their soulfire flickering wildly. They felt an instinctive fear, the natural tremor of low-ranking undead facing the supreme holy flame!
But they have no intelligence; driven only by some kind of will, they still stumble and rush forward.
"...World Burning!"
The last syllable falls.
Om-! ! !
