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

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Sun City has been destroyed by the invaders "White Night".] x5

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Due to the unsuccessful resistance against the invaders, all Sanctuary players will have their experience gained from monster kills reduced by 2%.] x5

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Free City has been invaded...] x5

……

Since the launch of the special expansion "Cataclysm," players of the Holy Empire have become numb to such announcements.

The Holy Army and a group of ninth-tier mythical experts from Holy Light Paradise are indeed very strong. With their support, they have gained the upper hand and even won many battles.

However, the Scourge forces were simply too numerous!

Even though some battlefields saw the undead knights and lich lords join forces, with the two legions merging, the Holy Empire still possessed nearly two thousand Scourge legions!

With such a large number of cities, it's inevitable that some will be destroyed.

Therefore, players of the Holy Empire have heard such announcements more than ten times during this period, and have long since become accustomed to them.

Watching the battle unfold in each live stream, they firmly believed that a complete victory would soon be achieved.

The rewards from the expansion will definitely make up for the reduced experience points due to the destruction of the city, and may even be higher.

But the subsequent system announcement left everyone speechless.

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: The capital has been breached by the invaders "White Night," and all Sanctuary players' levels have been reduced by one.] x5

This was the result of the protective barrier and the city's defensive barrier shattering simultaneously when Su Mubai destroyed the central palace.

Just as the players of the Holy Temple were shocked that Bai Ye had actually breached the capital, a series of system announcements sounded.

This time, everyone turned deathly pale.

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Due to the destruction of the Imperial Palace by the invaders "White Night," the Sanctuary Imperial Capital has completely fallen.] x5

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Due to the failure to repel the invaders, all Sanctuary players will have their level reduced by 50, all attributes permanently reduced by 30%, and experience gained from monster kills permanently reduced by 50%.] x5

[Current monster-killing experience: 18%]

In an instant, countless black lights shot into the sky from all over the Holy Empire, and only after a period of time did they completely dissipate.

The players of the Holy Empire were caught off guard and didn't react for a moment.

After a long while, the chat rooms started flooded with messages.

"No way, how could Bai Ye destroy the capital?!"

"Holy crap, I'm down 50 levels?! Are you kidding me? I'm only level 18!"

"Shit, experience points can drop to negative numbers? Is the Multiverse Game even meant to be a game for humans?"

"I can't take it anymore! How can we play with a cheat like Bai Ye around?"

"The capital city has a supreme expert at the Saint Annihilation level. Just what kind of cheat code did Bai Ye use?"

"A game spanning multiple realms, is that right?"

"Heh, the Divine Dragon Empire now has at least 700% monster-killing experience, while we've been reduced to 18%..."

"A nearly 40-fold experience gap? I'm screwed!"

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it. Can someone make a phone call and tell the Divine Dragon Empire to unify us quickly? I can't play this game anymore."

……

After this series of suffocating bad news, players of the Holy Empire finally received some good news.

That is, the four of them, Bai Ye, left the territory of the Holy Temple Empire one after another.

But so what?

The capital has been destroyed, the level has been reset to zero, and the experience points have become negative. Could things get any worse?

The idea had barely surfaced when the subsequent system announcement provided the answer for everyone.

It could definitely get even worse!

[Sanctuary Empire Guild: Due to unknown reasons, undead creatures in various regions have begun to retreat, and the special expansion "Cataclysm" has entered its second phase.] x5

[Sanctuary Empire Announcement: Until the hidden undead creatures are completely eradicated, the Sanctuary Empire will forever remain under the shadow of natural disasters, until its utter destruction.] x5

……

The entire nation was silent.

Today is destined to be a dark day for players of the Holy Empire.

With the "Cataclysmic" expansion entering its second phase, their future is completely hopeless.

……

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

Su Mubai returned to Baiye Court, having accomplished the purpose of his trip to the Holy Temple.

As for the Scourge Legion that remained there, Su Mubai no longer needed to pay special attention to them.

It would be better if it could continue to pose a threat to the Holy Empire, but even if it couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The only regret is that I was unable to empty the Holy Empire's treasury.

However, the trip was also very fruitful. In addition to successfully obtaining clues to the class set and the method to go to the Netherworld, the [Death Codex] was unexpectedly upgraded.

While absorbing the [Life Soul Source Crystal] to enhance his soul strength, Su Mubai took out the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Pearl] after it had been appraised.

Now that he's back in the Divine Dragon Empire, he can finally rest assured and examine the clues about the class set.

However, after reading the information on the item's panel, Su Mubai was slightly taken aback.

【The Pearl of Eternal Night and Deathly Silence】

Saint Annihilation-level Special Items

Never wears out

Usage Requirements: Must be a Death Overlord (or similar class)

effect:

1. Devour: The Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb can devour equipment and condense into Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Liquid.

(Minimum requirement: Mythic-grade equipment)

Current Eternal Night Deathly Silence Magic Liquid: 0 drops

2. Manifestation: Consuming a certain amount of Eternal Night's Silence Elixir will materialize your unique [Death Lord] set. (Minimum requirement: 100 drops.)

(A special item exclusive to the Death Master class; possessing it grants you your own unique class set.)

"So... this is the whole set?"

Su Mubai felt a sudden surge of joy. He had originally thought that this was just finding a clue.

I never expected it to turn out like this!

Instead of rushing to absorb the equipment, Su Mubai flipped his hand and put away the [Eternal Night Deathly Silence Demon Orb], accelerating the absorption of the [Life Soul Source Crystal] to increase his soul strength while also restoring his consumed soul power.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Su Mubai stood in the courtyard of Bai Yeting, looking at the 1200 believers who were once again full. He raised his hand and summoned the [Death Scripture], a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The matters concerning the Forbidden Land have been arranged, and it's time for me to head to the Netherworld!

……

Bonus chapter for today!

The first volume, "The Forbidden Land," has ended.

Volume Two, [The Netherworld], officially begins tomorrow!

Many things will be explained gradually later, and the plot and foreshadowing will unfold slowly. The worldview of the underworld should be completely different from what the adoptive fathers imagined.

This book has only been written for a little over four months, but it already has 80 words. Except when I really have no other choice, I write random thoughts almost all at midnight.

So... godfathers, please support me!
