Chapter 190 - 171 Holy Walk Wall

Chapter 190: Chapter 171 Holy Walk Wall

He quietly waited for a while.

A brand new page turned on the Book of the Dead, revealing a wall as smooth as a mirror.

Rows of ice crystal characters appeared on it:

"You have received enough admiration and praise."

"With the willpower of these beings, the Book of the Dead has undergone another evolution."

"The Holy Walk Wall is now open."

"Through this wall, the beings of All Worlds can witness your deeds, and thus cheer and applaud for you."

"Every use of this wall will require a platform to be built across All Worlds, consuming a vast amount, therefore seventy percent of your soul power income must be deducted."

Below these characters, there was a bracket with several lines of small characters:

"The income from your first broadcast has been deducted for expenses and settled into your account."

"You have gained 410 Soul Power points."

"You have received a treasure chest."

"Whenever you need it, you can withdraw this Soul Power and treasure chest through the Book of the Dead."

Treasure chest—

It was the one given by the Undead Mage.

Wu Xiaode’s emotions gradually stabilized.

Although seventy percent of the Soul Power was taken by the Book of the Dead—

It was for the sake of holding a broadcast!

These 410 Soul Power points were still income, better than nothing at all.

"Let me see that treasure chest."

Wu Xiaode said.

The Book of the Dead vibrated, and a palm-sized box quietly appeared, falling into Wu Xiaode’s hands.

"This box doesn’t contain any traps, does it?"

Wu Xiaode mused.

A row of ice frost characters emerged in response:

"Items passed through the ’Holy Walk Wall’ have the ’Reward’ attribute, containing no hostility, otherwise they cannot penetrate the constraints of space-time to arrive before you."

Only then did Wu Xiaode open the treasure chest.

Inside lay a sealed parchment, emitting waves of power like the ebb and flow of a tide.

Two ice crystal characters appeared beside the parchment:

"Super Advanced Undead Summoning Contract (Blank)."

"Explanation: Using this contract, you will sign a pact with a high-level undead from the Death Realm, enabling you to summon it at any time."

What a great item.

Wu Xiaode happily picked up the contract, intending to put it into the Bowl of Arduous Cultivation.

The Bowl of Arduous Cultivation was a spatial item used by Demon God Ulysses to store all his treasures, perfect for keeping this contract.

Just then, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Wait a minute.

This contract came from one of the worlds among All Worlds.

It did not belong to Sin Prison.

It came from the outside world!

Then, was there a way...

"Congratulations, many people have been given Immortal Fate by me, but few have grasped it; to think that you have succeeded."

The voice of the Chi Xiao Sword rang out.

With a spark of spirit light, Wu Xiaode loudly said, "Chi Xiao, come out for a second."

"Come out for what?" the voice of Chi Xiao came from within him.

"I want to activate ’Unpredictable.’", Wu Xiaode said.

"Then activate it, you can only use my abilities when I am attached to you," explained the Chi Xiao Sword.

"...Alright," Wu Xiaode said with a touch of embarrassment.

He gently held the blank contract in his hand, his mind intent on activating it.

Suddenly, a row of ice crystal characters appeared:

"You have used one point of Soul Power to cancel ’Cause Follows Effect’ and have now endowed the sword with a new ability:"

"Body Looting."

"Explanation: You can loot some of the deceased’s possessions from their corpse."

—This was a useful ability, but he was currently looking for an ability related to the parchment.

Wu Xiaode abandoned this skill and once again cast "Unpredictable."

He stood in place, continuously cycling through skills.

After more than ten minutes.

A skill appeared before his eyes:

"You have consumed one point of Soul Power to cancel ’Fire Engulfs the Fortress,’ and have now endowed the sword with a new ability:"

"Fate Renewed."

"Explanation: You can find the previous owner of an item and project your shadow to appear before them."

This is it!

Wu Xiaode’s heart leaped, and he immediately wanted to use this ability.

But a new prompt rune emerged:

"This ability requires a consumption of Soul Power in the amount of: 50 points."

It needed this much Soul Power?

No problem!

Wu Xiaode placed his hand on the Book of the Dead, beginning to draw out the Soul Power he obtained from the broadcast.

"Activate!"

He exclaimed in a low voice.

This time, with ample Soul Power to support it, "Fate Renewed" finally activated successfully!

A shadow emerged from Wu Xiaode himself.

—It was indeed his own shadow.

He tried moving within the shadow’s body and felt no resistance.

The sensation was somewhat strange.

It was as if he had two bodies, sharing what they saw and heard with each other.

It was now possible to approach the Undead Mage.

But still...

For safety’s sake, better to use the Demon Mist.

At the thought of Wu Xiaode, layers of Demon Mist immediately emerged, enveloping his projected form.

"Go."

Wu Xiaode commanded.

His shadow instantly pierced through the Void, its destination unknown.

...

The dark cosmos.

Billions of stars.

A nascent star was forming in the lofty depths of a stellar nebula.

To celebrate its birth, the young, massive clusters of stars were emitting high-energy ultraviolet radiation and stellar wind, carving out pillars of ice crystals and dust several light-years long, manifesting in the universe, appearing like colossal columns standing in the darkness from afar.

Within that massive column—

On a vast and majestic ice crystal, a man suddenly appeared.

He was a man exuding an aura of chaos and corruption.

Wearing a Skull Crown and holding a pale scepter, his eyes, filled with turbid light, stared down at the solid ice below.

"The time has come."

He murmured, gently tapping the pale scepter against the ice surface.

Crack!

The ice was covered with a dense network of cracks that meandered and eventually shattered completely.

A dark altar rose from the endless Black Water beneath the ice.

Lantern after lantern was lit.

The whole altar emitted a dim yellow light in the darkness, shining into the depths of the cosmos.

The man with the Skull Crown walked onto the altar and called in a low voice:

"Monarchs among the Undead Mages, it’s time for us to meet."

No sooner had he spoken...

Several shadowy figures quietly appeared in the darkness.

"If we consider it, we haven’t gathered for centuries, and yet this time we’ve all chosen to meet here without prior arrangement."

"With the Death Realm now manifesting, how could we not come?"

"Those images need to be properly analyzed."

"According to those ancient records, I think I’ve discovered something."

"Me too."

The man with the Skull Crown gestured for everyone to be quiet with a wave of his hand.

"Let’s take advantage of the situation before it spreads. Everybody, one by one, share your findings."

"I’ll go first."

The crowned man said gravely, "I sensed strong fluctuations of Soul Power from those images; that place must be a battlefield—"

"The undead seem to be fighting something."

Across from him, a black shadow spoke up, "Indeed a battlefield. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but amidst those grey trees, there was a tree splattered with grey specks. The edges are black as if burnt, yet the center has signs of corrosion."

"What does this represent?" another shadow inquired.

"That’s sulfuric blood, from a Demon!" the black shadow asserted.

"Could it be an old mark left from the past, irrelevant to the current events?" another person questioned.

"Absolutely not, those marks are very fresh. Following the ’Twelve Uses of Demon Blood,’ ’A Comprehensive Study of the Fallen Bloodline,’ ’Classification and Differentiation Attributes of the Blood Ritual,’ it appears the time when the tree got splattered with Demon Blood should be within the past five hours."

The crowd was startled and immediately burst into a spirited discussion.

—The undead were waging war against Demons?

This was no trifling matter!

Hidden in the mist, Wu Xiaode’s projection listened silently, and couldn’t help but start to admire them.

Previously, when the three of them worked together to kill that Demon, Rotten Bone indeed spattered some blood with his blade, which fell among the trees.

These individuals had keenly detected this detail, thus deducing the combatants.

I wonder just how advanced their powers are.

At this moment, he also became interested.

About the Death Realm, Wu Xiaode himself was completely in the dark.

Furthermore, even Rotten Bone, an undead native to this land, didn’t know about the existence of the battlefield selector in the sky.

The secrets of the Death Realm were far too numerous!

Perhaps these formidable beings, who were always dealing with the undead, could discern something?

As he pondered, another shadow began to speak:

"Demons and undead used to be allies, both chaotic and evil. Why would a war break out, causing them to fight one another?"

Indeed, if they start fighting, other factions will surely take advantage of their weakness," said the previous shadow.

Suddenly, the black shadow beside Wu Xiaode said, "I gave that undead who introduced the Death Realm a contract that could help him sign a Super Advanced Undead Summoning Contract with high-level undead."

The other shadows went quiet.

Yet the man with the Skull Crown laughed a few times and said, "Well done, Black Demon, using such a method to probe into the affairs of the Death Realm."

The black shadow spoke emotionlessly, "Of course I have to build good relations—this connection set now will naturally allow for further understanding of the Death Realm affairs in the future."

"Makes sense, I’ll also reward next time," another shadow mused aloud.

"This is the first time that both the realms of Life and Death are involved, this person is indeed worth courting," another stated.

"Too bad he’s an undead; otherwise, if he married my unparalleled daughter, wouldn’t that mean I could ask whatever I desired?"

"You’re actually considering giving your daughter to a dead man?"

"Ha, why not? Having someone to cut a path for me in the Death Realm so I can enjoy comforts after death isn’t a bad idea, is it?"

Wu Xiaode broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Sir, that’s really too much.

"It’s too radical; I don’t support it," the man with the Skull Crown shook his head.

His words immediately evoked responses, "Indeed, it’s too shocking and scandalous."

"Too shameless."

"Gentlemen, better to reward and slowly build the relationship."

"I’m going to prepare some treasures right now."

"Me too."

The eager crowd thus began to discuss once again.
