“…Buddy, what are you looking at? Accept my gifts already. Take them. I’ll prepare a bigger gift for you later. Those are too small…”

Lin Yun smiled, and took out the Book of Death, turning to the page of the Sage Chapter. Mysterious brilliance surfaced on the page, and the hill of essence of the undead rushed into the Sage Chapter like a torrent.

As the torrent of essence of the undead was swallowed by the Sage Chapter, ripples appeared on it. A gray tornado of energy arose, and the end of the tornado was connected to the Book of Death.

One of the hills of essence of the undead had been swallowed, but the gloomy tornado of death didn’t stop. All the essence of the undead in the dozen hills was gathered by the tornado, and sucked into the Sage Chapter through it.

After all the essence of the undead was swallowed, the spots for three ultimate level-8 spells appeared. The spots for ultimate level-9 spells were showing up too.

The mysterious brilliance on the surface of the Sage Chapter kept shining. Then, it gradually dimmed. Lin Yun was slightly regretful.

He had obtained the Sage Chapter a long time ago, when ultimate spells were a great help for him. As his level increased, even if the spells that the Sage Chapter copied were ultimate, they were no longer useful. So, the Sage Chapter was gradually put aside.

The Sage Chapter was undoubtedly the component of the Book of Death that was abandoned the earliest. But at this moment, when enough essence of the undead was gathered in the Plane of the Undead, the Sage Chapter became useful again.

When a level-8 spell was copied on the Sage Chapter and cast again, it would be its ultimate version that was as powerful as a level-10 spell. Also, one of its features would be maximized. If it was used well, it could be even more powerful than a level-10 spell.

At this moment, the three spots for level-8 spells had appeared. Even those for level-9 spells were popping up too. The Sage Chapter had turned into his ultimate weapon again.

The three ultimate level-8 spells that were as powerful as level-10 spells, and could be cast instantly would definitely be his trump cards that could change the result of a battle.

When the Sage Chapter could copy a level-9 spell, the ultimate version of a level-9 spell would be as powerful as a level-11 spell. Also, it would lead to a qualitative change.

Not just a feature of the spell would be fully carried out; the laws that a spell contained would be fully displayed as well, giving them power greater than the Heaven Rank!

It would be his most powerful trump card any moment…

Ultimate level-9 spells were terrifying even when Lin Yun thought about it. They had only been used for a limited number of times in history. Even in the heyday of mages, very few people had unleashed the ultimate version of a level-9 spell.

The terrifying experts who were as strong as gods only mastered one or two ultimate level-9 spells. Also, these ultimate level-9 spells were not necessary for them, because their own strength already exceeded ultimate level-9 spells!

The difference between ultimate level-8 spells and level-9 ones was like that between Archmages and the Heaven Rank. The latter could already make use of ones. The gap between them was enormous.

The ultimate spells were a brilliant pearl of the civilization of mages. The level-9 ultimate spells were game changers every time they were used.

Lin Yun was still far away from grasping level-9 ultimate spells. He could only grasp some level-7 ultimate spells, and no level-8 ones, not to mention level-9 ones.

Even Lin Yun hadn’t mastered such spells, and other mages certainly couldn’t, either. Ultimate spells were of little significance in real battles for other mages. For a Heaven Rank, what was the point of a level-4 ultimate spell?

After noticing the Sage Chapter’s change, Lin Yun was in such a great mood that he was not in a hurry to copy level-8 spells anymore. He simply left the essence of the undead in it.

Every time he cast an ultimate spell, the essence of the undead would be exhausted. Although it was possible to copy spells to the three spots, the essence of the undead would be exhausted after the copying. Even if the essence of the undead was replenished later, the Sage Chapter might not advance again.

The massive filling of essence of the undead was probably the key to the trend of advancement.

When Lin Yun looked back at Emir, he found that the gnome ghoul was more acceptable than before. Although living people and undead creatures naturally hated each other, and no undead creatures were an exception to this, he didn’t think he could let Emir die on the battlefield, even though Emir had been advancing very fast on the battlefield.

As a matter of fact, not just Emir, all the undead creatures who survived had been advancing fast. When they reached level 47, their advancement would slow down. When the war was over, Emir would probably be still stuck in level 47. Chances were slim that he could reach level 48, and it was impossible for him to reach level 49.

As the war escalated, the odds of him being killed and his soul fire being swallowed would rise. It was very likely that he would be killed while he was fighting Noscent on the front line.

“Emir, do you remember what I told you? You’d better not fight on the front line. Just fight other undead overlords and occupy their territories. Also, you’d better not fight in Dirty Blood any longer…”

Emir was rather stunned. He was not smart enough to understand Lin Yun’s implication. He didn’t even understand his exact words.

“Buddy, didn’t you ask me to occupy this place…”

Since Emir didn’t follow him, Lin Yun quickly continued persuading him. That guy was very innocent and unlike the evil undead creatures. It would be a shame if he died here. Besides, they were almost friends. If they met each other on the battlefield, even if he didn’t kill Emir, there were still other human beings. The experts on human beings’ side might be outnumbered, but they were much stronger and smarter than undead creatures.

The famous experts of the Plane of the Undead famous in Noscent were known because they were smart, not just because they were strong.

“Emir, listen to me. A great war is about to begin. Do you know the Bloody Lich? The peak level-49 lich that doesn’t answer to the King of the Undead? He’s already dead. The war in the Dirty Blood will escalate. There’ll be more and more experts. It’s even possible that the King of the Undead will come eventually.

“We cannot possibly fight such a war. It’s possible that we’ll die. Just think about it. If you die, the crows that you killed will come back, and eat your body to get back at you.

“Just stay in the rear of Dirty Blood, and gradually occupy the territory here. Just think about it. So many undead creatures are competing over Dirty Blood, so none of them will fight you in the rear.

“They’ll surely die. We cannot win. All the undead creatures in Dirty Blood will be killed, so the best territory will be the one behind it. If you occupy the territory behind, you’ll be the ultimate winner…”

Lin Yun tried to persuade him, and Emir was completely at a loss. However, he did understand that he needed to occupy the territory behind Dirty Blood, and that he would die and be eaten by crows if he continued fighting in Dirty Blood…

When crows were mentioned, Emir stopped thinking. He nodded in agreement, even though he didn’t fully understand.

“Buddy, you’re right. You’re much smarter than me. I almost didn’t realize that this was the crows’ scheme…”

Lin Yun nodded, and didn’t explain to Emir any longer. It would be fine as long as he followed Lin Yun’s instructions. If Emir stayed in the rear, a lot of undead creatures would surely join the fight. Those undead overlords never bothered to think. They would join any battle…

As the battle intensified, the undead creatures here grew stronger and stronger, and Noscent’s army would have fewer advantages. Even if they successfully drove the undead creatures out of Dirty Blood and set up the Hexagonal Array, the territory behind Dirty Blood would still be a critical place.

It was best to let Emir take control of the place. Also, Emir had been taught that the lord who occupied the territory behind Dirty Blood would be the greatest winner of the war.

After giving some instructions, Lin Yun checked up on Lagulin and the others. Lagulin and Barton had reached the Heaven Rank. They were already level 43. The prince even reached level 44.

Give enough opportunities, undead creatures’ speed of advancement was indeed terrifying. The weaker they were, the faster they would advance.

He left them alone, and simply let them continue taking advantage of the battle and leveling up. When they grew strong enough to command an army of the undead, they could join the battle too, and hold other undead creatures back. That wouldn’t be bad.

More importantly, they were backed by the Book of Death. As long as their marks remained in the Book of Death, they would never be truly dead. Even if they died, they could just be summoned again.

With the help of those three guys and Emir, it would be a lot faster to collect the essence of the undead.. It was possible that in a year or two, Lin Yun would be able to pick up enough essence of the undead to create the spots for ultimate level-9 spells in the Sage Chapter.
