Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

[Normal Summoning Space: 21.48/21.48]

[Commander's Summoning Space: 1400/1400] (196 million/196 million)

These are Su Mubai's two major summoning spaces.

He left 1 skeleton shield warriors and 4800 skeleton mages in the normal summoning space, and summoned the rest.

With this distribution, each of the 1400 Lich Lords could command over 1500 official Scourge members.

In addition, there are approximately 40,000 Cataclysmic Skeletons!

Even without Su Mubai's aura, such a force would only require a few Lich Lords working together to pose a threat to a level three city.

And this is only the beginning.

After arriving at the Holy Empire, the number of Scourge Skeletons will increase significantly.

As long as the Lich Lords are not wiped out, the Scourge will quickly spread throughout the entire Holy Empire!

This was the gift Su Mubai gave them before personally going to the Holy Temple Empire.

Watching all the undead cross the massive portal, Su Mubai left a spacetime marker in place before closing the portal with a thought.

Su Mubai retrieved the Frost into his mount space, grasped the [Wheel of Time], and instantly disappeared from the spot.

【Teleport】!

【Welcome home, Your Excellency Lord of the White Night Court.】

[Notification: Your respawn point has been changed to "White Night Court" in East Sea City.]

The next moment, a notification sound rang out, and Su Mubai's figure appeared in Bai Yeting's master bedroom.

"It's really hard to improve soul strength. I wonder why those mythical-level powerhouses can maintain their domains for so long?"

Su Mubai sat on the bed, his eyes full of doubt.

The first time he activated the [Human Butcher Domain], he couldn't even maintain it for a second before falling into a deep sleep for a week before barely recovering.

However, according to Huaijian, given his current rank, it was completely impossible for him to open his domain.

The reason why the [Human Butcher Domain] could be activated for a moment was entirely due to the absorption of thousands of [Life Soul Crystals] after the cataclysm.

After that, he absorbed more than a hundred [Life Soul Source Crystals] after the cataclysm, and the increase in his soul strength far exceeded that before.

Even so, during the battle of the capital, he could only maintain the [Soul Devouring Domain] for a few seconds before he felt exhausted.

"How are Yamata no Orochi and Yohji Yamamoto able to keep their domains active indefinitely?"

Su Mubai frowned.

Although he understood that as ninth-order mythical beings, their soul strength must be much stronger than his own.

But the difference could never be nearly ten thousand times!

"What exactly is the problem?"

Su Mubai rubbed his temples and took out a small pile of [High-Grade Life Soul Stones].

[Catastrophe]!

"Cataclysmic Stage Three!"

[Warning: You have lost 26 years of your lifespan.]

Current lifespan: Over 8542 years

[Hint: You have obtained 26 "Life Essence Crystals".]

An overwhelming sense of emptiness washed over him, and Su Mubai's lifespan instantly decreased by 26 years.

However, this is only temporary. After absorbing all 26 [Life Soul Source Crystals], his lifespan will be restored.

Although I can't understand why the gap is so large, improving the strength of my soul is still of paramount importance.

Whether it's to better master the power of the domain or to reach the upper limit mentioned by Frost, a stronger soul is needed.

Su Mubai held the [Life Soul Source Crystal] in one hand, absorbing its energy, and summoned the [Death Codex] with the other.

The next moment, however, his brows furrowed.

More than an hour had passed since exiting the [Death's Descent] state, yet the power of death had not recovered at all!

[Power of Death]

186/400 (The maximum increases by one point for each additional believer.)

The purest power of death can only be perfectly controlled by the Lord of Death.

You seem to lack the necessary skill to unleash the full potential of the power of death. Right now, you can only barely mobilize this power to temporarily become the embodiment of the rules of death.

After the power of death is consumed, it will slowly recover, and the recovery speed is related to the number and quality of believers.

"Isn't this recovery speed far too slow?"

Su Mubai curled his lips and looked thoughtfully at the last sentence in the description of [Power of Death].

It seems that the only ways to increase the recovery speed for now are to increase the number of believers and improve the quality of believers.

The number is easy to understand. After breaking through to the sixth rank, Su Mubai gained 200 more slots, which he could bestow upon 200 players to become his followers.

As for quality, in his understanding, it should be the strength of the believers.

Su Mubai thought for a moment, picked up his communicator, and sent a message to Feng Ye Xiaoxiao, asking her to select the two hundred strongest non-believers in the Dark Night Mercenary Group to await the summons.

After finishing this task, Su Mubai dialed Huaijian's communication.

Before heading to the Dragon Palace to claim his reward, he planned to resolve the issues related to the [Epic Road].

"Kid, you already have the [Time Wheel], why are you still looking for me? Go wherever you want to go."

Soon, a cursing voice came from inside the communicator, it was unclear whether Su Mubai had interrupted something good.

"Going to the Holy Empire is also an option?"

"Nonsense, no one in the Holy Empire has been able to see through my methods of concealing my aura."

Huaijian instantly understood Su Mubai's meaning and answered decisively, clearly confident in his own strength.

Su Mubai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "So, Senior, you are the strongest being in the Forbidden Land of Gods?"

"That's not it."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "There's another old guy in the Divine Dragon Palace who's a tiny bit stronger than me."

"Is he the Lord of the Divine Dragon Palace?"

"No, it's the old temple master."

Su Mubai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Old Temple Master?

In other words, the Divine Dragon Palace now has two Palace Masters?!

Before he could react, the person in his arms spoke again.

"You're really being too indecisive, let me see..."

"Level 179? Want me to help you unlock the Epic Path?"

"Senior is indeed very discerning."

Su Mubai smiled slightly, offering free flattery.

However, it seemed that Huaijian wasn't buying it.

"Stop trying to sweet-talk me. Go and find the Divine Dragon Palace about this."

"With your contribution this time, that old guy will open the epic path for you."

At this point, Huaijian added, "Actually, the epic path I started is no worse than that guy's, it's just that I haven't had time lately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the call.

Beep beep beep——!

Immediately afterward, Su Mubai's communicator rang again; it was an incoming message.

[Huaijian: Oh, and remember to collect plenty of ancient gold coins and ancient soul coins; you'll definitely get your share of the rewards.]

[Bai Ye: Understood.]

Su Mubai stared at the communicator in his hand, slightly lost in thought.

To become the master of the Divine Dragon Palace, one must be a supreme expert at the Saint Annihilation level, since Elder Situ Ji is already at the peak of the Mythical level.

With the addition of the even stronger Old Palace Master and Huaijian, the Divine Dragon Empire now has three supreme powerhouses at the Saint Annihilation level!

What about the Holy Empire?

Taking a deep breath, Su Mubai dialed Situ Ji's number.

At the same time, he suddenly heard a system notification.

……

Bonus chapter for today!

Given the controversy in the comments section, I hastily drew an extremely simple and very rough map of mainland China overnight.

The godfathers made do with it; everyone knew how badly he was drawing.

Signed: Huaijian

If you find it too cheesy, feel free to send some free gifts to encourage me to improve my drawing skills. On my behalf, I'd like to thank all my godfathers. (orz!)
