Chapter 599: Chapter 565: A Thousand Years of Grudges and Grievances (Part 2)
Fortunately, before he was reborn as a Legendary Witch Lich, he had been a powerful Legendary Mage.
He had escaped the Jade Prince’s pursuit.
However, it was impossible for him to get his revenge.
The Jade Prince was surrounded by too many powerful experts.
He had countless Dragon Blood Warriors.
Thus, he could only bide his time, build up his strength, and wait for an opportunity for vengeance.
And he had waited for a thousand years.
When the Legendary Witch Lich heard the name from Li Wei’s lips, the flames of revenge he had suppressed for a millennium began to burn uncontrollably.
Faced with the Legendary Witch Lich’s question—"What do you know?"—
Li Wei replied solemnly, "I know everything."
"About the Jade Prince’s collusion with the Demon Dragon King, and the secret of how he’s lived for so long."
A turbulent undercurrent swirled within the Legendary Witch Lich’s calm eyes.
His emotions were not nearly as placid as they appeared on the surface.
Li Wei said, "I want to kill him too."
"Never mind that. On my way to the Endless Sea with Saint Xi, I ran into a powerful enemy."
"The guy was a Dragon Hunter, a Legendary Level Dragon Hunter. He works for the Jade Prince."
"I nearly died at his hands, so I want revenge too."
"Also, I don’t like being a target."
With the Dragon Hunter dead, the Jade Prince most likely wouldn’t give up on the lead that was Li Wei.
After all, the dragon at Li Wei’s side was the only living Giant Dragon on the entire continent.
It was something the prince desperately craved.
This meant that as long as the Jade Prince was alive, trouble would always find its way to him.
And Li Wei hated trouble more than anything.
’If you can’t solve the problem, solve the person who’s causing it.’
From the moment he learned the Jade Prince was the mastermind, Li Wei had already put a big red "X" over his name in his mind.
He was marked as a target who had to be eliminated.
The Legendary Witch Lich said, "The Jade Prince is surrounded by many powerful experts. Even I can’t get close to him."
Li Wei chuckled. "Don’t worry, I have a way."
As he spoke, he began Casting the Star Realm Roaming Technique.
He had already ground the Star Realm Roaming Technique to the Great Success Level in the Dream World.
After opening a Teleportation Gate, he could basically reach any corner of the Celestial Vault Continent.
As long as he had the precise spatial coordinates.
If he continued to grind the Star Realm Roaming Technique to the Perfection Level, he would be able to open a Teleportation Gate to the Star Realm and travel through it.
BUZZ!
Spatial fluctuations emanated as a Space Teleportation Gate opened before the two of them.
On the other side was a forest, alive with the scent of flowers and the songs of birds.
After leaving it open for a moment, Li Wei closed the Teleportation Gate.
In the Elf Forest, the Elf King opened his eyes on his throne and looked toward the outskirts of the forest.
A hint of confusion crossed his face. A moment ago, a powerful spatial fluctuation had appeared at the edge of the Elf Forest.
He thought someone had used a Space Teleportation Spell to enter the Elf Forest.
But in the end, he found no trace of any intruders.
The Elf King shook his head and put the matter out of his mind.
Within the Elf Forest, he was the absolute ruler.
Even the Beast King, who was also at the Demigod Level Peak, would be no match for him here.
Li Wei closed the Space Teleportation Gate, having proven his ability to the Legendary Witch Lich.
He said, "Next, I’ll find a way to get close to the Jade Prince. Then, I’ll open a Teleportation Gate for you. When that happens, you just bring your men and strike directly at their heart."
Hearing this, the Legendary Witch Lich thought for a moment before nodding. "That will work."
Li Wei’s plan was indeed a better one.
It was far more reliable than him using the Undead Calamity to break through the Human Empire’s defenses and then plowing a path all the way to the Jade Prince’s territory.
It would also take much less time.
Li Wei said, "Alright then, let’s discuss the next steps."
"First, I’ll open a Space Teleportation Gate so you can lead your people away from here. After the Death Sky Curtain is gone, the Elemental Tower will definitely launch a bombardment of Forbidden Curses to scour this area."
The Legendary Witch Lich replied, "It doesn’t matter. If the ordinary Undead die, they die. I only need to take my main elite forces."
"Don’t worry about that; Mephit will take them away."
"If all the Undead were to disappear, the Elemental Tower would become suspicious."
The Legendary Witch Lich was already considering how to have Li Wei gain the trust of the Elemental Tower and raise his status within it.
That way, Li Wei would have an easier time getting close to the Jade Prince.
And he would be able to get his revenge.
Li Wei was somewhat impressed by the Legendary Witch Lich’s decisiveness in abandoning the Undead Army he had painstakingly amassed.
However, this was also beneficial for him, as it saved him the trouble of having to persuade the Legendary Witch Lich.
The two of them finished planning their next moves.
The Sea of Dead Souls also stopped creating new Bone Dragons.
GURGLE GURGLE!
The earth churned, like a giant Ooze swallowing the elite Undead forces on the ground into its body.
The Undead did not struggle, waiting quietly to be devoured by the earth.
Over a hundred Bone Dragons also sank into the ground one after another and disappeared.
Li Wei knew this was Mephit’s ability.
Mephit was a Rock Demon Beast capable of controlling rock and earth. After merging with the land, the entire ground became Mephit’s body.
The disappearance of a small number of elite troops depleted the Undead Army of its top-tier Power.
But this wouldn’t affect the Death Sky Curtain.
The Death Sky Curtain was formed from the deathly aura of countless Undead.
The departure of just a few Undead would not have an impact.
After all the departing Undead had left, only the Legendary Witch Lich and Li Wei remained.
The Sea of Dead Souls had also vanished.
Next, Li Wei flew out of the Death Sky Curtain and sent a message to the Elemental Tower’s Tower Master, telling him he was about to disperse it.
"Tower Master, I can only disperse the Death Sky Curtain for ten breaths at most. I can’t hold it any longer than that."
This was the message Li Wei sent to the Elemental Tower’s Tower Master.
The Tower Master of the Elemental Tower responded, "Alright, understood."
He didn’t tell Li Wei what the Elemental Tower planned to do after he dispersed the Death Sky Curtain.
The Tower Master still suspected that Li Wei was colluding with the Legendary Witch Lich.
He was afraid Li Wei would leak the Elemental Tower’s next moves to the Legendary Witch Lich.
Li Wei returned inside the Death Sky Curtain.
He looked at the Legendary Witch Lich and said, "Alright, we can disperse the Death Sky Curtain now."
The Legendary Witch Lich nodded.
He began Casting, causing the massive amount of deathly aura that formed the Death Sky Curtain to Return to the bodies of the Undead.
This process could only last for a very short time.
Without the Legendary Witch Lich’s suppression, the deathly aura would spontaneously seep out again and converge to reform the Death Sky Curtain.
The Elemental Tower, which had been keeping a close watch on the Death Sky Curtain, noticed that the gray fog shrouding the sky and land was gradually thinning, as if it were about to disappear.
Everyone’s hearts jolted.
Although they had anticipated it, they were still utterly shocked to see that Li Wei could actually disperse the Death Sky Curtain.
However, everyone reacted very quickly.
The Tower Master unhesitatingly activated the Elemental Tower’s ultimate weapon—the Destruction Demon Light.
The giant sphere at the top of the Elemental Tower began to vibrate, emitting an incomparably terrifying Magic Fluctuation.
All the Mages who felt this Magic Fluctuation were terrified.
This was a Power that surpassed the limits of Magic that Human Mages could master.
It was the ultimate research achievement of generations of Elemental Tower scholars.
A single strike could annihilate a Demigod Level Powerhouse.
It was also what the Elemental Tower relied on to maintain its position as one of the continent’s top powers.
In addition to the Elemental Tower’s ultimate weapon, the Destruction Demon Light, which was now charging, the Legendary Mages of the Elemental Tower were also giving their all to cast wide-area-of-effect Forbidden Curses.
"The Mirror of the Sky is ready. We can deploy the Forbidden Curses at any time," the Master of Truth Hall said.
The Mirror of the Sky was another of the Elemental Tower’s ultimate weapons.
Through the Mirror of the Sky, the Mages inside the Elemental Tower could directly deploy Forbidden Curses several thousand miles away.
It allowed for ultra-long-range precision strikes.
The Tower Master nodded and said, "Activate the Mirror of the Sky."
BUZZ!
An incredibly enormous mirror appeared before everyone.
On the other side of the mirror was the countless Undead Army, gradually being revealed as the Death Sky Curtain dissipated.
The Tower Master picked up a Communication Crystal and said, "Li Wei, you have three breaths to escape. The Elemental Tower is about to launch a full-scale, wide-area Forbidden Curse assault on the Undead Army."
Li Wei already knew what the Elemental Tower was planning to do.
But he had to put up a show of protest at this moment.
Li Wei pretended to be furious. "Damn it, are you trying to kill me? How am I supposed to escape the range of the Death Sky Curtain in three breaths?"
The Tower Master said, "Flee the range of the Death Sky Curtain as fast as you can. At most, I can have the first wave of Forbidden Curses leave you an escape route. The Destruction Demon Light that follows will definitely destroy everything within the Death Sky Curtain."
"You’ve gone too far! You should have told me earlier so I could have prepared a Teleportation Scroll. Damn it, when I get back, I’ll make you all pay!"
The sound of wind rushing past could be heard from the Communication Crystal as Li Wei fled at high speed.
