Chapter 1152 - Fog of Rebirth (1/2)

“The deepest part of the Holy Mountain is ten kilometers ahead. Although there has been some changes in the space of the Holy Mountain and it has completely transformed into the Abyss, the rough direction hasn’t changed. If there is nothing unexpected, the Ancient God’s soul should be inside.

“Even if the Ancient God’s soul isn’t inside, his body should definitely be in the depths of the Holy Mountain, that should be where he is slumbering.

“Let’s be careful. It would be best if we avoid coming in contact with the Ancient God’s soul and smoothly destroy his body, this would be our victory!”

Cross solemnly looked towards the depths. That place was covered in a dense black fog, the dense abyssal power had transformed into a fog that covered the air.

They could see no further than a kilometer, and the further they walked into the depths, the more restricted their sight became. From there, they couldn’t see the deepest parts of the Holy Mountain.

The rich abyssal power even restricted Clombton magic detection abilities to as far as his eyes could see, the powerful abyssal mana interfered with all spells aside from abyssal spells.

As they slowly moved forward, their visible range was already reduced to a hundred meters, and after moving forward once again, their visible range had become a few dozen meters.

Ultimately, the dense black mist, akin to an inky sea, made them unable to see past three meters. They couldn’t even sense with their mana and their ears couldn’t hear any sound.

They also could no longer feel the presence of the others.

Lin Yun frowned. The Magic Array’s power only allowed him to have a better grasp over his surroundings. He couldn’t analyze anything more than ten meters away even if he used the Magic Array.

The abyssal power was really too dense, and to others, it looked like they had suddenly fallen in water. They couldn’t use the surroundings’ mana, and apart from their own mana, breathing made them feel like they were drowning.

But Lin Yun was different. Of his three kinds of Core Meditation Law Sets, the Void Forge was a powerful Meditation Law that could smelt all mana.

If it couldn’t adapt to the dense abyssal power here, it wouldn’t have been able to extract those bits of poison-like mana from the Void Storm during Noscent’s fall.

With each breath, the surrounding abyssal power would be devoured, refined, and turned into Lin Yun’s own mana to maintain his shield.

Suddenly, Lin Yun’s expression changed as someone suddenly collapsed. It was as if they suddenly lost their soul. Their mana was still roaming within their body as they fell on the ground, but their mind fluctuations and soul fluctuations had completely disappeared.

And it seemed to be happening in a chain reaction. Shock flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes and he immediately ran around the surroundings, sensing everything within ten meters with the Magic Array.

After making a circle, Lin Yun saw that every mage seemed to be suffering from something similar to a Curse Mage’s ultimate curse, the Curse of Death. Their bodies weren’t scarred and their mana wasn’t consumed, their shields were still operating after they collapsed.

But their spiritual aura and soul aura had thoroughly dissipated, it really looked like the Curse of Death.

They fell down one after another, all of them unsuspecting.

Cold Sweat trickled down Lin Yun’s forehead and he looked at the inky sea-like surroundings as he mumbled, “Sh*t, to actually come into such a cursed area, this is really bad luck…”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Lin Yun felt a kind of powerful and completely irresistible sleepiness coming from the depths of his soul. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Lin Yun threw all his Magic Tools and Incarnations into his Natural Demiplane.

After doing that he closed his eyes and the Law Runic Shield enveloped him inside. Lin Yun floated in the air, the aura of his soul having disappeared.

In just a few seconds, everyone, including Clombton and Cross, had closed their eyes and their mind fluctuations had disappeared.

For an instant, Lin Yun seemed to feel his body becoming infinitely light. His perception was apparently no longer restricted and his body kept falling underground.

The surrounding black dense fog slowly thinned as Lin Yun felt his body losing its weight as it strangely fell down.

He also seemed to have gained 360 degrees sight and could see everything around him. He even saw the others’ bodies turning translucent as they also rapidly fell underground.

As they fell, everyone turned into spheres of light emitting deep radiance. Everyone’s mind fluctuations slowly weakened, as if the powerful Heaven Rank souls were slowly sinking in a slumber.

Looking at the surroundings and seeing that even his soul had turned into a ball of light, Lin Yun couldn’t help sighing.

‘I knew that we would have to face the Ancient God’s since we were going to where it slumbered, but I hadn’t expected to encounter this thing.’

The Fog of Rebirth, among the legends in Noscent, the Abyss, Hell, and even the Undead Plane, this was the most recurring legend.

Any creature that entered the Fog of Rebirth would have their soul leave their own body to reincarnate in another lifeform. Some powerful existences at the end of their lifespan would crazily seek the places where the Fog of Rebirth appeared.

As long as they persevered long enough, they would be able to retain their consciousness during their rebirth and they could choose where they would reincarnate, as well as their race.

But they would be able to pick a rough rebirth ground at best, as to what they reincarnated as, that would depend on their luck.

Aside from powerful existences that ignited God Fire, all lifeforms that entered the Fog of Rebirth would be unable to last long. Moreover, they wouldn’t feel a thing when they were covered by the Fog of Rebirth. Only when their souls left their body could they clearly feel the changes. But at that time, no one would be able to stop their souls from leaving their body.

When Bane led Noscent, his most valued subordinate had been the Immortal Lich. The Immortal Lich had been a great help to Bane when he conquered the Undead Plane. At least half of the achievement came from the Immortal Lich. The biggest contribution of the Immortal Lich had been reducing Bane’s losses by 60 to 70%.

His understanding of the Undead Plane came from living there for countless years. The location of the resources, of powerful Undeads, the Immortal Lich knew everything.

Later, Bane disappeared and the Immortal Lich accidentally destroyed his body and transformed into a true Lich. The secret was revealed then.

The Immortal Lich had been a Lich Monarch of the Undead Plane which could compare to a Peak Heaven Rank human powerhouse. But the Immortal Lich had been unable to take a single step further. The Lich’s eternal life brought no hope, only inexpressible despair.

If nothing happened, he would have been able to keep his strength till the destruction of the Undead Plane, unless he was accidentally killed by people. A millennium, ten millennia, nothing would change.

Later the Immortal Lich grew weary of everything, he was fed up with the Undead Plane’s forever dusky sky, tired of these ugly Undead lifeforms, he even wanted to destroy his own Soul Fire. That was when a small part of Fog of Rebirth appeared within his territory.

He unhesitantly walked into the Fog of Rebirth and his Soul Fire stopped burning. He turned into a soul energy sphere carrying his consciousness and memories.

After reincarnating in Noscent, he became a terrifyingly gifted Necromancer and rapidly advanced to the Heaven Rank. He was ultimately subdued by Bane and became his subordinate.

Knowing that he was suddenly dying, the Immortal Lich picked up his old eternal Lich’s body and once again became a Lich.

As he recalled this matter, Lin Yun’s expression wasn’t very good. What they encountered wasn’t the usual Fog of Rebirth, it was mixed with a large amount of abyssal power. There was no need to think to know that it was the Ancient God’s trap.

That was more terrifying than facing a few dozen Demon Overlords, because they had already been silently infected and couldn’t resist at all.
