Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 406 The Emperor Falls, Heaven and Earth Grieve!

How could he refuse such a rewarding task? Jiang Han raised his hand and clicked the "Yes" option on the system panel.

"The method of splitting the soul has been sent to the system warehouse." Immediately, Xiao Shi's soft and sweet voice rang in Jiang Han's ears.

After the remnant soul of the ancient king dissipated, the outside world changed drastically in an instant. The sky, which was about to clear up, was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds composed of yin energy again. The mages guarding the city wall felt a clear unease, and the mountain corpse that was bombarding the golden barrier seemed to sense something and let out a roar full of grief and indignation.

The undead army that was attacking the barrier also stopped, letting out howls and wailing. Some of the undead even prostrated themselves on the ground, as if they were seeing off some terrifying being.

This was the first time Han Ji, Lu Xu, Shi Zheng, and the others had ever seen anything like it, so they dared not let their guard down for a moment, fearing that the undead were plotting something.

"This looks a bit like the funeral ceremony for an ancient emperor," someone suddenly remarked at that moment.

"It seems that's really the case. Could it be that Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and those other kids succeeded?" The mysterious gray-haired man said excitedly, looking at the receding corpses on the mountain outside.

"We can't let our guard down yet, lest the undead army go berserk and launch a counterattack," Han Ji hurriedly ordered the guarding mage.

Suddenly, a streak of blood-red lightning flashed through the dense dark clouds in the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder that echoed across the land shrouded in deathly aura. Many citizens in the city stared in terror at the sky outside the barrier.

On a hillside behind the army of the undead, a woman dressed in a white palace dress stood tall and slender, with delicate features that exuded a touch of allure, and her whole being radiated a holy and noble aura.

"Did we fail in the end?" The woman looked up at the cloud-covered sky, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

At this moment, black rain began to fall from the sky, the rain carrying a dense, malevolent aura.

The rain poured down, making the yin energy of this land even denser. Countless spirits wailed in the black rain. They may not be very intelligent, but they could clearly sense that the emperor who ruled them had fallen, and this yin rain was the emperor's last gift to them.

"Black rain falls from the sky, and lightning flashes like blood. Is the earth grieving for your departure?" the woman murmured softly.

"Is it that little guy? Can he really take over your will?" The woman reached out her slender hand to catch the black rain, recalling the silver-haired youth she had met before.

Jiuyou had met Jiang Han, but Jiang Han was unaware of it. As for Jiang Han and the others entering the Abyss of Fiends, she had seen it all.

Adding to the fact that Zhan Kong and the others just flew out of the Abyss of Evil, it's not hard to guess that the fall of the Ancient King was related to that silver-haired youth. However, Jiu You Hou doesn't understand why the Ancient King would help that human become the new emperor who succeeded him!

The strength of Han Ji, Lu Xu, Lu Huan, Shi Zheng and others in the ancient capital may be good, but to the Eight Directions of the Dead King, it's just so-so. If the old king hadn't wanted to test the strength of these newcomers, would he really think that those humans could stop the Eight Directions of the Dead King?

The Mountain Corpse, the Mist Demon Commander, the Skeleton King, and the Ghost Lord, all among the Eight Kings of the Dead, do not wish for the Ancient King to vanish. Therefore, they want to sacrifice all the living beings of the ancient capital, using countless drops of blood and remnant souls to completely revive the Ancient King.

The Black Vatican mixed the rain with the Dew of the Nine Netherworlds, intending to awaken the slumbering spirits of the entire empire, thereby unleashing a calamity of the dead that would slaughter millions in the ancient capital, in order to forge Salam's ascension to godhood.

The Corpse of the Mountain Peak, the Lord of the Underworld, and the Lord of Ghosts were merely going with the flow, fulfilling the fantasies of those ants, and incidentally replenishing the energy in the Bloodfall to welcome the ancient king who was about to be resurrected.

When the ancient king ascended the throne, he vowed to make every Chinese person like a dragon, so naturally he would not agree with the actions of the corpses of the mountain peaks.

Therefore, the Lord of the Underworld was strangled by him with the Abyss of Evil, while the Mist Ghost Commander, Ghost Lord, Red Skull Demon Lord, White Corpse King, and Agate Corpse Lord were trapped in the Land of Sleep and could not awaken. As for the Corpse of the Mountain Peak and the Ancient King of the Nine Netherworlds, he did not care about them.

Using the undead army led by the corpse of the mountain peak to spur future generations of China to continue exploring the path of magic, perhaps this will result in the innocent deaths of future generations, but it will also give rise to more powerful individuals to protect China. This is the plan of the Ancient King, an ancient emperor who died thousands of years ago.

Inside the Abyss of Fiends, after mastering the method of splitting the soul, Jiang Han began to split his soul in two. One half continued to walk the world as a human, while the other half transformed into a new undead emperor to rule this vast undead empire.

The method of splitting, to put it bluntly, is to divide one's soul in two; don't think this is a joke.

The slightest carelessness could cause the soul to be unable to withstand the tearing during the splitting process and be completely destroyed. Therefore, to achieve the splitting of the soul, one must cultivate the soul realm to an extremely high level. If it weren't for the fact that the effects of the soul amplification potion hadn't worn off yet, Jiang Han wouldn't have dared to practice the splitting of the soul technique at all.

On the dilapidated altar, Jiang Han, clad in dragon bone armor, sat cross-legged on a complete stone step. The dragon bone sword was stuck beside him, and not far away, the armor robe left behind by the ancient king after his dissipation floated, containing extremely pure Yin energy, which would be the nourishment for his split soul.
