Undead Pharaoh

Level lv6 (0/700)

The experience bar instantly filled, and his level rose. New Dungeon layers began continuously opening up in the Void, and the massive disturbance caused the entire Dungeon to tremble.

"What's going on? What happened?"

On the Fourth Layer, Mark, who had just fallen asleep, shot upright the instant he felt the tremor. He grabbed the greatsword beside him, rushed out of the tent, and swept his sharp gaze across the surroundings.

Oliver and the others also emerged from their tents.

"The Dungeon is shaking again."

After confirming that it was not a monster attack, Mark lowered his greatsword and frowned at the ground, which was still shaking. Ever since this Dungeon had appeared, inexplicable earthquakes had occurred frequently.

Mark had felt them several times already, and every one of them had come from the depths of the Dungeon.

"What exactly is happening in the depths of the Dungeon?"

Mark crouched down and felt the vibrations beneath his feet, his face thoughtful. Based on experience with other Dungeons that had appeared in the world, something like this should never happen under normal circumstances.

Yet in this Dungeon, strange occurrences happened constantly. All signs proved that this Dungeon was far from simple.

"Mark, should we go out and see what happened?"

Ireland, clad in heavy armor, walked over and fixed his eyes on Mark. As a priest of light, he rarely entered places like Dungeons, where the gods could not cast their gaze. Thus, when faced with something he could not confirm, he believed that trusting Mark, the team leader, was the best choice.

"No need. It's just an earthquake. It'll end soon."

Mark shook his head and told everyone not to be too nervous. He had experienced similar incidents several times already, and to ensure they were in good condition for tomorrow's monster hunt, they should get some proper rest first.

Sure enough, not long after Mark finished speaking, the Dungeon's tremors subsided.

Meanwhile, the instant the Fifth Layer connected to the Sixth Layer, Luo Ao immediately transferred his main body and everything in the treasury to the deepest part of the Sixth Layer.

Scorching heat, desolation, death.

The power representing the new layer continuously flowed into his body. Luo Ao's spiritual power swept across the entire Sixth Layer. Near the entrance lay an endless stretch of Death Mountains, their gray-black peaks devoid of even the slightest sign of life.

Withered vegetation and bones scattered everywhere formed a land of death. Scorching gales swept past, kicking up sand and stones and exposing stark white bones beneath the ground.

The entire mountain range was piled from endless bones, with not a trace of life to be seen.

As Luo Ao's spiritual power continued to spread, he discovered an even broader Gobi Desert beyond the mountains. Blistering heat continuously baked the land, and from afar, the air warped under the heat like burning flames.

Luo Ao's main body was located deep within some ruined remains at the center of this Gobi Desert.

"There's actually an ancient ruin."

Luo Ao's spiritual power swept through the entire ruin. Numerous magical puppets inside were still operating according to the programs set by their creators, while all kinds of magical traps and curses were enough to kill every intruder.

"Hm? What's this?"

When Luo Ao's spiritual power passed through the Ruin Core area, he discovered a mummy lying inside a golden coffin. Even though it had been dead for an unknown length of time, the mummy still emanated an inexplicable aura.

Beside the mummy lay numerous pieces of equipment radiating powerful magical energy, all shrouded in a terrifying cursed aura.

With a thought, the corpse in the coffin and all the magical equipment were transferred before Luo Ao.

"What a windfall!"

Several pieces of magical equipment floated in the air. The long passage of time had left these once-top-tier items worn and aged, yet they still contained immense power. The newly added 15-point Primordial Power boost on the panel was the best proof.

After thinking it over, Luo Ao did not place the magical equipment before him into the treasury. He intended to use the necromancer souls he had kept earlier and this mummy as materials to create new monsters.

But before that, Luo Ao intended to inspect the resources possessed by the Sixth Layer.

His spiritual power delved into every region of the Sixth Layer. Deep within the Death Mountains near the entrance, Luo Ao discovered many black crystals. He named them Necrotic Crystals. They contained vast amounts of death aura and magical power, compressed and condensed into solid form over countless years. They were fairly good materials.

Beneath the Gobi Desert was a constantly churning sea of lava. Violent fire elements continuously gathered within it, and they were the culprits behind the Sixth Layer's extreme climate.

"Are these Magic Gems?"

On the walls surrounding the Lava Sea, Luo Ao discovered many brilliantly colored gems. Solid fire and earth elements had been condensed within them, and every single one would be worth a fortune if taken outside.

"They're all excellent materials. It looks like I can fill the monster vacancies not only on the Sixth Layer, but also on the Fifth Layer in one go."

As Luo Ao spoke, he looked toward the Dungeon control panel. Less than two hundred points of Primordial Power remained after the upgrade, but it increased slightly every few minutes, all thanks to the adventurers bravely venturing into the Venomous Swamp on the Fourth Layer.

After sincerely thanking the adventurers for their contributions, Luo Ao took the necromancer souls out of the treasury.

The magical knowledge contained within them had already been completely read.

Necromancer souls + the mummy from the ruins + 10 of the largest Necrotic Crystals.

Monster Creation.

As the talent activated, the Primordial Power on the panel began to drop continuously. Under Luo Ao's gaze, the materials began to fuse. The rotten, blackened bandages covering the mummy's body started growing without end, while its shriveled body swelled as though inflated. Vast amounts of magical power and aura formed a massive vortex and continuously poured into it.

When the light faded, a massive figure nearly three meters tall appeared in place, its entire body wrapped in black bandages like obsidian.

[Name: Undead Pharaoh]

[Level: lv6]

[Skills: Pharaoh's Body lv6, Undead Summoning lv6, Necromantic Magic lv6, Curse Specialization lv5, Undying Body lv5, Death Aura Manipulation lv5, Undead Control lv4, Magical Item Crafting lv4]

[Introduction: A necromantic lich revived from the corpse of an ancient pharaoh. He possesses powerful Necromantic Magic and is the ruler of the undead, the messenger of death, bringing all living beings an omen known as death.]

"Isn't this a little too overpowered?"

Luo Ao looked at the Undead Pharaoh's string of high-level skills. According to the information he had learned from adventurers' souls, lv3 was equivalent to a Formal Professional, while lv6 was an Intermediate Professional.

Yet with the Undead Pharaoh's strength, ordinary Intermediate Professionals would be utterly helpless before him. Even the Giant Tree Guardian, the minor boss of the Fourth Layer, was completely inferior to him in terms of stats.
