Chapter 2673: Mirror of the Void
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Soon, news arrived from the undead council.

Shi Lipeng’s battle plan for the Holy Court’s War Ruins World had been a huge success.

The entire War Ruins World had been destroyed.

The Holy Court was still in shock.

However, it was certain that the Holy Court’s countermeasures would be initiated immediately.

The undead council had not anticipated that Fang Heng would take such an audacious step.

Upon hearing the news, they were somewhat stunned but quickly began preparing their countermeasures, remaining vigilant across all worlds to guard against any retaliation from the Holy Court.

Of course, once it was learned that Fang Heng had obtained the seal capable of suppressing Sulhog from the War Ruins World, the entire undead council had no objections to Fang Heng’s actions.

Well done!

At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the undead council focused their attention on the next step: obtaining the Empress’s relics.

Suddenly, a dark glow blossomed from Abe Akaya.

“He’s here! It’s Brother Fang!”

Ji Xiaobo felt a surge of joy in his heart and signaled the instructors behind him to step back.

With the flow of a magic array, a dark green teleportation passage appeared ahead.

Fang Heng stepped out from the magic array.

Ji Xiaobo hurried forward to meet him, anxiously asking, “Brother Fang, how did it go? Did you manage to get it?”

“Mm.”

Fang Heng nodded as he quickly scanned his surroundings, then motioned to the instructors behind Ji Xiaobo, “Could I trouble you all to go in person? The seal has been acquired, and we can start moving at any time.”

The instructors exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that Fang Heng was truly bold.

Was he not afraid of the Holy Court’s vengeful retaliation?

Fang Heng’s actions against the Holy Court had been carried out in utmost secrecy, and they had only learned about them recently.

Even now, they had just received a few details about the current situation with the Holy Court.

It seemed that things were not looking optimistic.

However, no matter how big a hole Fang Heng had dug, as long as it led to a path of advancement in God-level necromancy, the undead council would do everything in its power to protect Fang Heng.

The leading undead instructor, Chester, nodded and said, “Fang Heng, there’s no need to be polite. The situation with the Holy Court is still unclear for now, but the tools we’ve prepared are all set. Hurry up and complete the sealing of Sulhog as soon as possible.”

“Mm, alright.”

Fang Heng, along with the others, fought through the monster hordes in the Icebound Valley and made their way back to the Empress Temple.

Although several hours had been delayed, Fang Heng had already allowed Abe Akaya to absorb all the energy from the vessel of sacrifice. Abe’s dimensional level had increased once more, reaching Level 30.

Continuing further would make leveling up more difficult, but correspondingly, the overall boosts would show diminishing returns.

No need to rush.

There were still remaining dimensional crystals, and Fang Heng would have opportunities to grind for more later.

Soon, the group reached the Empress Temple again.

Kotal looked at Fang Heng and the others with deep concern in his eyes, “You’re going to enter the teleportation space again? You haven’t given up on unlocking the ice soul?”

In Kotal’s view, even their Dark Clan had been unable to break through the ice soul, so he naturally believed that humans couldn’t achieve it either.

Not to mention, the strength of Sulhog in the seal was immense, and it was something beyond their capabilities.

Originally, Kotal thought that Fang Heng had given up.

To his surprise, after several days, Fang Heng appeared again, seeking to return to the Icebound Valley, looking as confident as ever.

Ji Xiaobo, distributing undead spirits to the accompanying instructors, urged, “Alright, big brother, we have our ways. Stop with the flowery words. Hurry up and help us open the passage.”

Kotal glanced at Fang Heng, gave up on any further thought, and downed a bottle of undead spirits. He then helped the group open the teleportation passage.

At the same time, the high-ranking members of the undead council were closely monitoring the movements of this team.

Whether or not they could find the breakthrough key left behind by Empress Persephone would depend on this moment!

…

In the special sealed space, the bone-chilling cold seemed to freeze the very soul.

Even though the seven accompanying necromancy instructors had mentally prepared themselves and drunk the undead spirits, they were still greatly affected by the harsh conditions.

The instructors’ eyes showed traces of wariness.

The environment was even more terrifying than they had seen in the mirror. They had no choice but to burn their soul power to sustain their movements.

Ji Xiaobo was at the back of the group, standing at the farthest edge near the exit. He could no longer resist the icy aura, so he had to retreat to the outskirts.

Kotal also stayed close to Ji Xiaobo, observing every move of Fang Heng and the others.

From their expressions, it was clear that they were not joking.

They were serious!

“Mm, let’s begin,” said Chester, the undead instructor, as he stopped in front of the ice soul and observed it for a moment. He then nodded to the other six instructors.

Immediately, the group spread out, each standing at one of the seven corners, and began to condense different rune marks in front of them.

At the center where they stood, a phantom of a magic array slowly began to form.

Mental strength was poured into the array.

As the magic array began to shift, a writhing mass of blood and flesh emerged from it.

As the flesh appeared, it was immediately covered in a layer of frost.

But despite the outer surface of the blood and flesh freezing, the deeper layers of it continued to grow, slowly extending upward until it reached a mass of fleshy sludge more than a person’s height.

“That is…”

Kotal observed the blood and flesh emerging from the center of the magic array. His eyes grew heavier with concentration.

He had never seen such a thing before, but there was no doubt that it revealed an extremely strong undead aura.

“Chi, chi…”

The outer layer of flesh slowly wriggled and faded away, revealing a pure mirror that was wrapped in flesh and blood.

Kotal scrutinized the mirror, his mind filled with doubt.

What was this thing?

A mirror from the Human World?

Was this really the artifact Fang Heng claimed could weaken Sulhog?

Fang Heng, too, was fixated on the mirror, his right eye’s pupil rapidly spinning with the power of his omniscient eye.

[Hint: The player is using the omniscient eye to evaluate the item… Evaluation in progress…]

[Hint: Evaluation successful. The player has discovered the holy weapon Mirror of the Void (undead form). The player has gained partial information about this item.]

Item: Mirror of the Void (undead form).

Type: Holy weapon.

Description: The world guardian artifact of the Mirror Realm was seized by the undead faction. It was seized by the undead faction and later modified by the legendary necromancy mage Georgi. The mirror now has enhanced undead blood and flesh-based abilities, making it better suited for necromantic practices.

Indeed, it was a holy weapon!

The undead council had certainly invested heavily in this.

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompt, silently nodding to himself.

So this holy weapon was modified by Georgi?

Fang Heng couldn’t help but recall the kind, elderly man he’d encountered in the undead council.

The old man was a legendary necromancy mage who could even modify holy weapons.

He had completely misjudged him!

The old man was much more powerful than he had thought!

As Fang Heng was lost in thought, the seven necromancy instructors’ symbols shifted simultaneously.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

It was happening!

The mirror erupted with an eerie pull.

Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!

The black resentment that overflowed from the ice soul was absorbed into the mirror!
