Electrolux Disappears, Undead Followers

Chapter 127 Electrolux Disappears, Undead Followers

[As if guided by fate, the successor whom Electrolux carefully selected and placed high hopes on happened to be Tang Ya.]

Tang Ya's own talent perfectly matched Electrox's expectations. Her aptitude for necromancy was unparalleled; she had already reached a high level, and ordinary Soul Douluo-level experts were no match for her.

[However, Tang Ya's method of cultivating necromancy is somewhat different.]

She cultivated using the undead demiplane of Electrolux. Firstly, she still possessed a moral compass and a sense of kindness, and was unwilling to indiscriminately slaughter living beings and absorb their souls in order to increase her strength.

Secondly, the power system of Douluo Continent is the soul power system. The energy circulation in the world and the foundation of soul masters' cultivation are all built around soul power. Necromancer magic is inherently difficult to take root here. Only by utilizing the special environment of the demiplane can one cultivate in peace.

Therefore, when Electrolux informed her of the mission to the Holy Demon Continent, Tang Ya accepted without hesitation.

Following the directions and spatial coordinates left by Electrolux, she set off. Although she encountered spatial turbulence, dimensional rifts, and other unknown risks along the way, she was fortunate to be accompanied and protected by powerful undead creatures constantly emerging from the undead demiplane, allowing Tang Ya to continue her arduous journey.

Electrolux stood silently, clad in a black robe and surrounded by black mist. His gaze followed Tang Ya's receding figure, a hint of expectation hidden in his deep eyes.

He had already imprinted his divine soul mark deep within Tang Ya's soul sea. With this mark on her, Tang Ya could not only ignore the dimensional barriers of the Holy Demon Continent and smoothly enter it, but also gain the trust of Long Haochen and other deities by relying on the aura contained within the mark, thus successfully conveying information.

A subtle ripple spread through the air as Electrolux appeared before you, his crimson eyes fixed on you. He asked, "What is it that you crave?"

He had long seen through your facade, realizing that you had little interest in divine power or worldly status. This indifferent attitude towards everything was somewhat similar to his own back then.

You look up. Electrolux is one of the few intelligent people who can see through the essence of the world and understand your logic. You no longer try to hide anything and frankly express your true thoughts.

"Naturally, one wants to become stronger and craves more unknown knowledge."

You paused, your gaze lingering on the distant, endless sea of ​​clouds, a hint of longing and curiosity flashing in your eyes: "Now, in this world of Douluo, the knowledge I possess and the power I've touched have almost reached the limits of this world. I've always been curious about what kind of unique system of laws your Holy Demon Continent possesses—"

"Is that so?" Electrox's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with mockery. He directly interrupted your seemingly honest lie, his tone certain, "I can sense your malice and scheming. Your interest in the Holy Demon Continent is far more than just simple curiosity."

You showed no sign of panic at being exposed; your expression remained calm. Instead, you calmly countered his question, "Then tell me, how can you guarantee that your Holy Demon Continent won't harbor ill will towards me and instead covet my power?"

Hurt me?

Before he could respond, you continued, "That's just how the world is: the strong prey on the weak. Only those of equal strength can coexist peacefully, maintaining a fragile balance; while the weak will ultimately be enslaved by the strong, or even face the extinction of their race, their complete annihilation."

You tilted your head slightly, looking directly at Electrox: "If I remember correctly, the past of your Holy Demon Continent is the best proof. Humans were once domesticated by the invading demons; later, the demons were severely weakened in their fight against the God of Heavenly Punishment, and their strength declined, so they were then domesticated by humans and became their prisoners."

"We are both intelligent people who understand human nature, and we should know best that this is the essence of the world. The strong prey on the weak, and the losers are left to rot; it has always been this way, and it has never changed."

"Since you foresaw the final outcome and anticipated the hidden dangers, why not nip all potential dangers in the bud from the very beginning?"

Electrolux paused for a moment, then had to admit to himself that there was some truth to what he said; every word struck a chord with the truth of the world.

However, everything in this world is inseparable from subjective stances and racial ties. Just like him, he was born a human, so in the conflict between humans and demons, he would instinctively lean towards humans; and when choosing a successor, he would never consider soul beasts.

At the same time, Electrolux, being so intelligent, instantly grasped your characteristics: your rationality is extreme; you lack empathy, worldly morality, and all your actions are measured solely by profit and loss.

[You are far more dangerous than those gods controlled by desire, because you are calm, rational, and ruthless enough that once you strike, you will never give your opponent any chance to turn the tables.]

After a long silence, Electrolux sighed, looking at you with a complex expression, his tone tinged with regret: "Someone like you is extremely calculating and meticulous; you would never easily reveal your true thoughts to others."

Before the words were even finished, a chilling, bone-deep necromantic power suddenly erupted, a black necromantic storm sweeping across the surroundings, its icy aura instantly engulfing the entire space.

The next moment, countless stark white bones burst forth from the ground, layer upon layer, forming a dense array of skeleton soldiers. Their empty eye sockets burned with eerie green soul fire, and the friction of their bones produced a piercing, chilling sound. Several colossal bone dragons, each as large as a mountain, spread their tattered bone wings, thick black mist swirling around their skeletons. Their dragon eyes burned with ferocious soul fire, and their狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) heads were all aimed at you, radiating an oppressive aura.

Electrolux values ​​you: "So, in the end, you still intend to make a move against me."

You nodded, and your aura shifted. Regardless of your sincerity just now, Electrox must not be allowed to live any longer.

You have already mastered the core of necromancy, and you have achieved all the goals of cooperating with him in the beginning. Now he has lost all his usefulness and has become a huge hidden danger that may turn against you at any time.

And naturally, you wouldn't keep this potential threat around.

Faced with this horde of undead capable of destroying an entire plane, your expression remained calm and undisturbed, your eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

[A profound and destructive aura, dark to the extreme, surged from your body. A purplish-black law of destruction swirled around you, and an invisible domain suddenly expanded from your center, causing layers of pitch-black ripples in space. Invisible blades of destruction sliced ​​through everything tangible.]

Wherever the domain passed, ordinary skeleton soldiers instantly disintegrated into scattered bone dust, their soul fire completely extinguished, leaving not a trace; slightly stronger undead warriors had their bodies shattered inch by inch, their bones melting away, utterly unable to resist the corrosive power of destruction.

Only a few high-ranking undead creatures, stained with countless battles and thick with blood and resentment, such as the Skeleton King and the Ancient Bone Dragon, could barely hold on within the domain, their black mist constantly being consumed, their aura gradually weakening.

Electrox stood atop the horde of undead, his imposing presence striking, yet he remained calm in the face of the approaching threat.

The portal to the undead demiplane was fully opened, and a continuous stream of necromantic power poured into the mortal realm.

More colossal, terrifying undead creatures emerged from the passage: undead knights clad in skeletal armor, ancient bone beasts the size of mountains—high-ranking undead poured into the battlefield, forcefully filling the void left by the destructive domain. The undead army remained overwhelming, showing no signs of decline.

[You can see that Electrolux is currently struggling to hold on; with his current remnant soul strength, he can't last much longer.]

[A ghostly light flickers at your fingertips, and a dark gray necromantic power surges within you as you unleash your own necromantic magic.]

The ground trembled even more violently, and spatial rifts crisscrossed the area. Unlike the undead summoned by Electrox, countless figures of various shapes were summoned, instantly coalescing into another boundless army of the dead.

These are all your followers.

[Among them are powerful soul beasts that have grown for millions of years and awakened their intelligence; and human believers who follow you, their souls imprinted with your will.]

Over tens of thousands of years, countless lives have gathered beneath you because of their faith. Even after death, their souls remain, their bones endure, becoming your most loyal fighting force.

This accumulation has reached an astonishing level; each skeleton carries the pure power of faith, and each wisp of soul fire bears the imprint of your will.

Your undead army embodies both the chilling aura of the dead and the unwavering resolve of faith.

[Upon entering your destructive domain, instead of crumbling, it thrived; the instant it clashed with the undead creatures of Elex, the power of faith erupted, forcefully suppressing the opponent's necromantic aura.]

Two torrents of undead, one black and one white, collided head-on between heaven and earth. The sounds of shattering bones, exploding soul fires, and the roar of clashing laws intertwined to create a deafening battle hymn.

Electrox's pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at the undead army beneath you—

The battlefield, which was just moments ago filled with the roar of laws and strewn with bones, is now a desolate wasteland, its smoke cleared.

The broken dragon bones were scattered all over the ground, and the broken bone dust was scattered by the wind. The remaining aftershocks of destruction and the death energy of the dead intertwined and entangled, staining the entire world gray and desolate.

[The Necromancer Saint, Elex, had exhausted his last strength. His soul completely disintegrated, leaving not even a trace of his spirit behind. He vanished into the world, utterly perished.]

You stand silently in the center of the ruins, broken bones beneath your feet, gazing in the direction where Electrolux disappeared, and mutter to yourself:

How cautious!

From the moment they first met, Electrolux never truly trusted you. He always harbored suspicion, constantly testing you, leaving no stone unturned in his words and actions, and never letting his guard down.

When he teaches you necromancy, he seems to be giving you everything he knows, but in reality, he's secretly hiding his own secrets at every turn.

Even the cultivation methods you actively taught him, he never touched even a fraction of.

[His decision to abandon Huo Yuhao wasn't solely due to Huo Yuhao's wavering character or deviation from his true self. A more significant reason was that Huo Yuhao had been exposed to your attention too early, becoming a pawn in your game of strategy, and had long since lost his value for development.]

Before secretly selecting Tang Ya and designating her as his successor, Electrolux repeatedly deduced and confirmed the details, employing numerous methods to investigate and trace the source, ensuring that Tang Ya was not a pawn you had arranged to pick her up at the airport.

Unfortunately, despite his meticulous planning, he ultimately overlooked one crucial point.

[Knowing the original story, they made preparations in advance, planting hidden devices within the bodies of all the named characters in the story.]

[As a key character in the plot, Tang Ya is naturally someone you're paying close attention to, but Electrolux failed to notice.]

Electrolux's chosen successor is certainly no nobody; under such overwhelming firepower, it doesn't matter who he chooses.

Time passed.

[Tang Ya has arrived at the Holy Demon Continent. In fact, because of the mark of Ilex on her, this outsider can directly enter the Holy Demon Continent.]

You are observing this world through Tang Ya's perspective.

Although the world's will allowed "Tangya" to enter because of Electrolux's mark, there are still limitations. Soon, the gods of this world will know of Tangya's existence, find her, and inquire about her purpose in coming here.

You, on the other hand, take this opportunity to observe the world.

The power system of the Holy Demon Continent is centered on "spiritual power" and built around the "ten tiers" system.

The levels are based on spiritual power, and can be divided into ten tiers, with the crucial demigod realm requiring both internal and external spiritual power.

The total must exceed one million to reach that level.

This is somewhat similar to Douluo Continent.

[A long time has passed since Electrox left the Holy Demon Continent. The situation on the continent has changed drastically. After the battle with the God of Divine Punishment, all seventy-two Demon God Pillars that supported the survival of the Demon Race were destroyed. Demon God Emperor Fengxiu committed suicide after the battle. Except for the Moon Demon God Agares, all the other seventy-two Demon God Pillars perished.]

[The Moon Demon God Agares, being a half-human and having long harbored a hatred for demons, survived and was treated with respect by humans. Furthermore, Long Haochen's mother, Bai Yue, and nephew, A Bao, also survived.]

However, the demon race is now merely clinging to life.

The demon race originated from the seventy-two Demon God Pillars. With the destruction of these pillars, the demon race lost its power, and its demise was only a matter of time.

As the ultimate victors, the Temple Alliance brought an end to the "Dark Ages" of demonic rule for humanity, ushering in the "Age of Light."

Long Haochen, as the "savior," ended the dark age of the Holy Demon Continent and eventually became the creator god in another dimension together with his lover, Cai'er.
