Chapter 250: Millennium Blood Pool, Skeleton Palace

Chapter 250 Thousand-Year Blood Pool, Palace of White Bones

The Death Knight sat upon a bone steed, beneath the black helmet lay two orbs of ghostly blue soul fire.

Draped in black armor, he held a Death Lance in his hand.

The bone horse beneath him burned with pale flames at its four hooves.

The Death Knight gazed at Li Wei, cold murderous intent revealing itself in eyes of soul fire.

Li Wei felt a surge of pressure.

The Death Knight's strength was formidable, reaching the peak of the fourth tier.

He could easily crush ordinary fourth-tier skeleton monsters.

Even a Giant Skeleton could not survive a single round against him.

For a third-tier mage to deal with a Death Knight was simply a fool's dream.

When Kulu saw the Death Knight appear, he fled immediately.

No one knew the terror of the Death Knight better than him.

Third-tier mages dying at the hands of the Death Knight were not uncommon in recent years.

The credit points for killing a Death Knight were not ten at the start.

Only after the Death Knight slew two third-tier mages did his bounty rise to ten credit points.

Molly had not yet noticed the Death Knight deep within the sea of skeletons.

Li Wei faced the immensely powerful Death Knight alone.

When Kulu fled, he looked back at Li Wei.

Discovering he had not fled but dared to confront the Death Knight, he was utterly astonished.

The Death Knight swung his Death Lance and thrust fiercely at Li Wei.

Clang!

The Invisible Armor blocked the attack, one layer shattering.

Only the second layer stopped the Death Knight's thrust.

This was merely an ordinary strike, yet it easily shattered Li Wei's Invisible Armor.

Crack!

In less than a second, Li Wei suffered three attacks.

Three layers of the Invisible Armor shattered.

Li Wei cared for nothing else, smashing a hastily condensed charged blue fireball onto the Death Knight.

The Death Knight pierced the blue fireball with his lance.

Boom!

Firelight engulfed the Death Knight's figure.

Scorching blue flames burned his body, the black armor crackling from the heat.

The bone horse beneath him even had its bones burned through.

The Death Knight raised the lance in his hand, white undead flames igniting upon his body.

The white flames extinguished the blue flames.

The damage upon the Death Knight's body gradually repaired itself within the white flames.

The white flames condensed upon the damaged parts of the bone horse, becoming new bone.

Whoosh!

The blue fire dispersed, the Death Knight looked around, seeking Li Wei's figure.

Li Wei had already flown into the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The sound of wind breaking came from the air.

The Death Knight looked up, a massive blue fireball descending from the heavens.

Li Wei used the time the Death Knight took to escape the blue fire to complete his charge.

The Death Knight sensed an aura of death.

He plunged his lance into the ground, a power spreading rapidly, enveloping hundreds of nearby skeleton monsters.

Boom!

The blue fireball fell, causing a violent explosion.

In an instant, the fireball expanded to a hundred meters in volume.

Everything within a hundred meters was burned to ash.

Skeleton monsters beyond a hundred meters were also blown dozens of meters away by the powerful shockwave.

The explosion ended.

A blank area over a hundred meters wide appeared in the center of the skeleton sea.

Li Wei cast Assault Storm, blowing away the dust and firelight on the ground.

Revealing the scene at the center of the explosion.

A large pit a hundred meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

The Death Knight lay in the center of the pit.

His mount bone horse had vanished, the Death Knight left with only half a body.

Before the blue fireball exploded, the Death Knight used the Death Share ability, distributing the damage to all surrounding skeleton monsters.

Only thus did he barely retain the lower half of his body.

The Death Knight had suffered heavy injuries, Li Wei gave him no chance to catch his breath.

He raised his hand to condense a blue fireball, preparing to smash it down.

White flames ignited on the Death Knight's body, flowing to his lower half, forming the shape of a horse.

The Death Knight became a centaur, speeding rapidly toward the distance.

Li Wei extinguished the blue fireball in his hand, the Death Knight's escape speed was too fast, the fireball's flight speed could not catch up.

He hastily cast Fire Escape Technique, chasing the fleeing Death Knight.

Molly lowered the arm shielding her eyes, gazing at the two figures departing, her heart filled with shock. What kind of monster is this?

Even she might not be able to unleash an attack like that just now.

Is this a newly advanced third-tier mage?

Who are you trying to fool!

Jasmine felt an intense curiosity surge within her heart regarding Li Wei's identity.

Why would this person conceal his identity to sneak into the secret realm?

Could it be solely to slay the Death Knight?

Were there friends of his among the mages the Death Knight had slain before?

Had he come here to seek revenge?

In an instant, Jasmine's mind conjured a tale of love, hate, and vendetta.

Li Wei chased the Death Knight deep into the heart of the secret realm.

The Death Knight had nowhere left to flee.

The secret realm was sealed by a magical barrier created by the Element Tower.

Even a sixth-tier spell could not break the magical barrier sealing the realm.

It was even less possible for the Death Knight to shatter the magical barrier.

He had reached the end of his road.

At the far end of the secret realm, Li Wei spotted a pool of blood.

The Death Knight plunged headfirst into the blood pool and vanished from sight.

Li Wei halted his steps, hovering in midair, gazing down at the blood pool.

The blood pool was severed in half by the magical barrier.

One half lay within the secret realm, the other half outside in the world.

The appearance of the blood pool outside was unclear to see.

Li Wei released his spiritual power to explore the blood pool.

He found his spiritual power vanished instantly upon touching the pool, as if hitting a bottomless abyss.

Li Wei tossed down a blue fireball.

Sizzle!

The blue fireball disappeared into the blood pool, failing to stir up any splash.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Doubt filled Li Wei's heart.

He had never heard of such a thing existing within a secret realm.

"Shadow Servant, go down and take a look."

The Shadow Servant obeyed the command, diving into the blood pool.

Moments later, the Shadow Servant returned, reporting a whole new world beneath the pool.

Seeing this, Li Wei replenished the lost layers of his invisible armor and plunged headfirst into the blood pool.

At first, all was pitch black, nothing visible to see.

After a while, Li Wei felt himself emerge from the water's surface.

Boom! Crack!

Li Wei landed on the ground, crushing several dry bones beneath his feet.

He looked up, only to find the blood pool directly above his head.

Beneath the blood pool lay unexpectedly a massive cavity.

Li Wei threw out a fireball to illuminate the surroundings.

A cave covered in white bones, dry bones, and skeletons appeared before him.

This was a Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses.

A Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses from an ancient battlefield!

Li Wei had heard rumors of the Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses.

It was the birthplace of undead creatures on ancient battlefields.

Rumor had it that the depths of the pit led to the Realm of Death.

It was the leaking aura of the Realm of Death that allowed the pit to continuously spawn new undead creatures.

However, standing within the pit, Li Wei could not see a single living creature.

All was dry bone.

The Death Knight was nowhere to be found either.

Li Wei released more fireballs to illuminate a wider area.

Only then did he finally discover the figure of the Death Knight.

Deep within the cave layered with countless white bones lay hidden a palace of bone.

At this moment, the heavily wounded Death Knight was kneeling before the gate of the bone palace.

It seemed to be begging for mercy from some great figure within the bone palace.

Li Wei sensed for a moment, daring to approach only after finding no danger.

Yet he dared not get too close.

He cast an Illusion Spell, creating a phantom body to approach the Death Knight.

Observing the bone palace.

Suddenly, the Death Knight's body erupted in white flames, his remnant form dissipating in the soul flames.

Rumble!

The bone palace trembled.
