Mm.
Before Long Haochen and Long Xingyu stood a grayish-white tower a hundred meters tall, flickering with a peculiar undead aura as it rose from within the space.
Simply looking at it made one feel incomparably small.
Simply looking at it was enough to make Long Haochen, the Son of Light, tremble all over and feel incomparably small. Though he did not turn and flee, he was still terrified as he gazed at that Treasure Pagoda.
"Dad, what is that?" Long Haochen asked in a slightly trembling voice, looking at Long Xingyu, who remained calm as though everything were under his control.
"That is the target of our visit this time. It is called the Tower of Eternity, the resting place of that legendary figure," Long Xingyu explained, his gaze deep as he looked at the Tower of Eternity before him.
Upon hearing this, Long Haochen was no longer so panicked.
Since his father, Long Xingyu, had brought him here, there definitely would not be any problem.
With that thought, he took a step toward the Tower of Eternity.
But the moment he moved toward it, a grayish-white wraith shot toward Long Haochen.
The instant he saw it, Long Haochen jumped in fright. He could even make out the twisted features on the wraith's face.
Yet he immediately activated the Light Inner Spiritual Power within his body, and an Aura Shield flashed into existence around him.
He intended to block everything.
The Light Attribute had always been the best counter to the undead.
But Long Haochen had not expected these undead to be immune to light.
In an instant, the Holy Light Shield exploded. Long Haochen felt as if his mind had been struck heavily by a hammer, and a terrifying energy filled with death and cold burrowed directly into the depths of his soul, causing him unbearable pain.
It seemed to be trying to seize his body. The evil, icy soul energy was exceptionally powerful, and under its impact, Long Haochen's mind went blank for a moment.
After coming to his senses, Long Haochen tried to resist, but it was useless.
His entire body trembled.
He was in great pain.
However, Long Xingyu saw it immediately.
He frowned slightly.
This tiny wraith actually dared to attack him and his son?
"Get lost." Long Xingyu shouted. His voice carried killing spiritual power as it surged toward Long Haochen. In an instant, though the terrifying wraith was unwilling, it was directly blasted out of Long Haochen's body and immediately dissipated, turning into pure soul essence and returning to the Tower of Eternity.
"Huff, huff, huff." Long Haochen was drenched in sweat. Just then, he had even felt the threat of death. His entire body trembled, and he had nearly felt like he was about to meet his ancestors.
Fortunately, Long Xingyu had acted at once. Otherwise—
Everything would have been over.
"Dad, what were those?" Long Haochen asked, his heart still pounding.
"After living beings die, their souls leave their bodies. They may successfully enter reincarnation, but if they are controlled by someone with ulterior motives, they become undead. Those grayish-white things before us are undead," Long Xingyu explained.
Long Haochen froze.
So these were undead?
"Then, Dad, what should we do next?"
"The undead are blocking the way. We can't get through!"
"And there are so many of them. We can't just force our way through either."
Long Haochen spoke helplessly.
He looked at everything before him. From where he stood, he could see countless white figures around the Tower of Eternity. Those were all undead, right?
Yes, all undead!
Tens of thousands of them!
That was not a number that could be suppressed so easily.
They—
Would probably be completely drowned by them.
"Though there are many undead, none of them are particularly powerful."
"As long as one's mental power is sufficient and one's strength is terrifying enough, there is nothing to fear from their harassment," Long Xingyu said calmly.
After saying that, he looked ahead.
Several undead were now charging toward them at terrifying speed. Undead generally had no intelligence, so Long Xingyu's previous attack had not frightened them. Instead, it made them even more excited.
They charged straight toward Long Xingyu.
They were extremely fast.
They surged forward fiercely.
"Judgment of Holiness." Long Xingyu silently uttered the name of the skill. He did not draw the sword in his hand, but a brilliant radiance appeared in his palm. In an instant, the eighth-tier skill Judgment of Holiness was unleashed, striking the ten charging undead and causing them to instantly dissipate into pure Soul Power before returning to the Tower of Eternity.
Seeing this, Long Haochen froze.
Right. What exactly had he been worried about?
If he had come out alone, this truly would have been troublesome. Though he was the Son of Light, his mental power was not sufficient to suppress all these undead.
But—
His father was right beside him. His father was Long Xingyu, the Master of the Knight Temple, wielder of the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne, the Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial!
What was there to worry about?
Thinking that, Long Haochen was no longer so concerned.
Still, looking at the endless swarm of undead, he said helplessly, "But with so many undead, I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with."
"Dealing with them one by one would indeed be troublesome."
"But if we gather them all together, that will do." Long Xingyu spoke calmly.
As he spoke, he extended his hand. Pure Light Energy appeared in his palm, and with a toss upward, it became a brilliant pillar of light. In an instant, pure light aura spread in all directions, vast and boundless. At that moment, the countless undead all trembled.
They had no intelligence, but wherever something that attracted them appeared, they would rush there at once.
That was the "wisdom" of the undead.
In an instant, the endless undead darted over in a vast, sweeping tide, as though they would devour everything. It was terrifying beyond measure!
However, they were now all gathered along a single line!
"Dad, are you going to use the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne?" Long Haochen was stunned by the sight and asked fearfully.
There were so many undead that they could overwhelm even a ninth-tier powerhouse through sheer numbers, so Long Haochen believed Long Xingyu intended to use the Divine Seal Throne.
"The throne?" Long Xingyu asked in confusion. Then he shook his head without answering.
The God Seal Sword of Doomsday and Slaughter appeared in Long Xingyu's hand, radiating a chilling aura as it continuously released its presence forward.
"For these undead to become my whetstones for testing my sword is their good fortune." Long Xingyu spoke, then swung the sword in his hand. Its sharp edge erupted, and all power gathered within his grasp. In an instant, the entire cavern began to tremble because of Long Xingyu's strike.
"Doomsday Three Swords, First Sword, Doomsday Verdict!"
