Chapter 93

This was indeed a pleasant surprise...

When Lin Yun came out of the Prince's tomb, he thought he had gained nothing but a mysterious stone slab. But he didn't expect that in just ten days, one surprise after another would come. First, it was proven that the stone slab was the fourth chapter of the Book of Death, the Sage's Chapter. Then, he discovered that he had obtained the legendary ability to be the bane of the undead.

In Lin Yun's view, the ability to be the bane of the undead was even more powerful than Sandro's Undead Contract.

The Undead Contract was only effective against necromancers. For Lin Yun, who was not a necromancer, even if he obtained the Undead Contract ability, it would only add a few more summoned creatures. Without the enhancement of necromantic spells, the combat power of these summoned creatures was not as formidable as imagined.

But the bane of the undead was different...

Lin Yun now controlled the entire Bone Plane. The existence of the bane of the undead ability would allow him to conquer the entire Bone Plane more quickly. With the Book of Death in hand and the fourth chapter, the Sage's Chapter, his combat power would reach an astonishing level. Even the most powerful mages would find it difficult to stand before him.

Moreover, the bane of the undead ability still had many secrets that had not been uncovered. The powerful mages of the peak era almost unanimously believed that the bane of the undead ability was not just aimed at undead creatures. Lin Yun was the first to doubt this if there was no reason.

Now, Lin Yun had plenty of time to experiment and see if the bane of the undead ability was indeed as the powerful mages believed, not just aimed at undead creatures.

In the subsequent battles, with the help of the bane of the undead ability, Lin Yun seemed more relaxed...

What Lin Yun needed to do was to find the place with the most skeleton warriors, use the most powerful and highest-level spells to bombard them, and not worry about the skeleton warriors' counterattacks. When they charged over, they would immediately feel the pressure of the bane of the undead ability, either turning and running or staying in place.

This was a complete harvest...

In just two short hours, the Sage's Chapter absorbed over a thousand soul fires. Apart from the significant consumption of mana, Lin Yun almost did not encounter any threats from start to finish, not even needing to activate his Ice and Fire Shield once.

Lin Yun calculated the time and found that he still had about an hour left. Just as he was preparing to continue the harvest, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly approached the Nether Iron Vein again.

The last time he came to the Bone Plane, it was night, and the range of the Light spell was only a few dozen meters. Lin Yun had to rely on a semi-solidified Mage's Eye to locate everything, so he couldn't see everything clearly. Now, although the sky was dark with heavy clouds, it was still daytime. Throwing a Mage's Eye, Lin Yun finally saw the Nether Iron Vein clearly...

The location of the Nether Iron Vein was basically a flat area, surrounded by skeleton warriors. The thick death aura emanated from the ground, and the densest area was where the Bone Demon slept. The Nether Iron Vein in front was over a hundred meters long and completely exposed on the surface. This kind of vein was the favorite of miners, requiring almost no effort to mine.

Moreover, the resources contained in this Nether Iron Vein were truly astonishing. Even from a hundred meters away, Lin Yun could feel a strong magical fluctuation, some coming from the Nether Iron Vein itself, and some from the magical gems within.

Lin Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse to immediately provoke the Bone Demon, and forced himself to temporarily look away...

But as the Mage's Eye swept past, Lin Yun suddenly noticed that at the far end of the Nether Iron Vein, there seemed to be a dark cave entrance, and at the entrance was a blood-stained piece of clothing!

"Damn..." Lin Yun's eyes widened instantly. The shock from the blood-stained clothing was almost as great as seeing a dinosaur flying in the sky.

This meant...

This meant that Lin Yun was not the first human to enter the Bone Plane!

Of course, this human was most likely already dead. In the Bone Plane, any injury was almost equivalent to death. The endless death force could kill with just a small cut on a finger.

In fact, not just the Bone Plane, but any plane was like this. The completely different environment meant that no one could stay in a plane for a long time, including the powerful mages of the peak era.

This was also the reason why, after the magic power in Noscent was depleted, even the powerful mages who compared themselves to gods had to fall one after another.

In the final years of that era, countless mages went mad, desperately trying to find a way out. Unfortunately, no one could survive in these planes. Only those at the level of Charles or Sandro could struggle to find a path, escaping into the cracks between the infinite planes, into the gaps of time and space.

But the fate that awaited them was also unknown, perhaps a new world, perhaps eternal drifting...

Alright, I'm getting off track...

In any case, whoever left this blood-stained clothing was most likely already dead.

This was almost certain.

But Lin Yun still felt that he should go and take a look. After all, this was a human who entered the Bone Plane earlier than him, a thousand years before the three young mages from the Ivory Tower. Lin Yun really wanted to know who this person was!

Thinking of this, Lin Yun controlled the Mage's Eye again, circling around the other side of the Nether Iron Vein, and wanted to continue exploring the dark cave entrance.

But then, Lin Yun felt his vision suddenly darken.

"Really?" Lin Yun was stunned for a moment. The Mage's Eye had disappeared!

Lin Yun knew it was because the Mage's Eye was blocked by a magical force...

The Mage's Eye was one of the most fragile of a mage's creations, formed by a small amount of magic power. It would instantly disintegrate upon encountering even a slight magical interference.

Lin Yun had encountered the disintegration of the Mage's Eye many times before, at least eighty times if not a hundred. It was not something to be overly surprised about, but this time, the disintegration of the Mage's Eye made Lin Yun even more puzzled...

A blood-stained piece of clothing was already strange enough, and now there was actually a magical force lingering in this cave!

Lin Yun thought for a moment, recited a few spells, and cast Haste, Petrify Skin, Conceal Aura, and Undead Disguise, one after another, on himself.

Then, Lin Yun slowly approached the dark cave entrance.

Fortunately, after the previous harvest, there were not many skeleton warriors left around. Even if a few appeared occasionally, in front of Lin Yun, who had the bane of the undead, they were just a difference between one Flame Spear or two Flame Spears...
