Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 335: "Dragon Conquest" Mobilization
I used seven of the eight "Blood Bodhi" I just got on the four vampire princes, including Shaman and Saladu. I tried my best to suppress the temptation of giving the remaining "Blood Bodhi" to Shaman to further enhance its strength. I finally made up my mind to reward it with a "Blood Bodhi" according to the conditions I had promised to the blood lich Temur. After all, Temur is different from the bat demon Dika who can no longer bring me more benefits. The further enhancement of its strength can make the mental power of Shaman, Qiu Shui Changtian, Qingwu Feiyang and other undead wizards who have received the "First Embrace" also increase accordingly through the "blood change". It is still useful to let it take the "Blood Bodhi". Not only can Shaman benefit from it, but more importantly, I can also get a little bit of light, which is not too wasteful. Moreover, I can further win over Temur and make it loyal to me. Even if it is not willing to be directly subdued by me and become my direct subordinate, it should be more willing to cooperate with me in the future to reduce some unnecessary troubles. The only pity is that Qiu Shui Changtian, Tianxing, Yeyou and other "blood change" winners have taken advantage of it. However, I have already blackmailed them last time because of the "promotion pill" incident. At that time, I promised not to do it again. I can't take the opportunity to blackmail them with the "blood bodhi" as an excuse. In addition, the biggest beneficiary is me after all, and the blood lich Temur is under my exclusive control. After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, I still think it is more cost-effective to let Temur take the remaining "blood bodhi", so I have to let Qiu Shui Changtian, Tianxing, Yeyou and others follow me to get some benefits.
Seeing that I rewarded him with a "blood bodhi" to take, the blood lich Temur was indeed very happy, and his eyes and expressions looking at me were full of gratitude and respect. Unfortunately, the dignity and honor of being an emperor made them not easily surrender and willing to sign a "soul contract" with me, unless there was an internal challenge like the Great Pharaoh or the Vampire Fang Prince for one reason or another, so that other Great Pharaohs or Vampire Fang Princes surrendered to the individuals I had conquered, I would have the opportunity to take the opportunity to directly sign a "soul contract" with them. Otherwise, no matter how I bribed and lured, Temur would not want to completely give up the right to independence and be willing to be conquered by me. There was no hope of directly taking it as a subordinate. At most, it would be more subordinate to me under the dual means of life threat and interest temptation. Because of the protection provided by me, the "God-defying person" of the blood clan, there is no risk of being punished by the "heavenly punishment" launched by the "law enforcers" of the blood clan. Temur was eager to take the "blood bodhi" which was a contraband. It was probably because the "blood bodhi" was a thing condensed from the essence of blood and qi, and it was compatible with the physique of the blood lich. Although it did not help it to improve the level of the third level like the "promotion pill", the effect was still quite significant. As for the improvement of the blood lich Temur's own strength, there is no need to worry about it, and it cannot be used by me. No matter how strong it is, it is useless to me. What I am most concerned about is naturally the effect of "blood change". Taking me, the first undead wizard to receive Temur's "first embrace", as an example, the basic mental power increased by performing "blood change" has increased by another three percentage points, reaching 23%, which means a higher success rate of signing a "soul contract", and the use of "undead summoning" can summon more undead subordinates at one time, and the duration has also increased by five minutes, from the previous 45 minutes to 50 minutes. Sama, who was the second person to receive Temur's "First Embrace", also benefited a lot. The duration of each "blood transformation" was extended from forty minutes to forty-five minutes, and the mental strength that could be increased by "blood transformation" also reached about 120%. Although it is far less than the strength that Sama could enhance after taking the "Blood Bodhi" himself, combined with the help he gave me, it was worth the money, and this "Blood Bodhi" was not wasted in vain.
Previously, because of my outstanding performance in the "World Heroes Conference", I helped the Tongxin League regain the honor of "the world's number one mercenary group", and also combined the honors of "the world's number one necromancer" and "the world's number one master" in one person. As the winner of the "Triple Crown" of the three major events of the last "World Heroes Conference", I won the highest award of the "Golden Hero Trophy", which also greatly increased the morale and reputation of the Tongxin League. The reputation was revived and it was at its peak, and I made the most outstanding contribution. Therefore, after collective discussion and discussion at the Tongxin League core member meeting and the all-league member representative conference, it was decided to commend and reward me within the Tongxin League. The Tongxin League funded and customized a "Golden League Emblem" in reality according to the style of the Tongxin League's "two red hearts" emblem, and awarded it to me as a reward for my outstanding contributions to the Tongxin League, and expressed the gratitude of other members to me. At the same time, according to my needs , I was rewarded with two small jewelry specially used for Undead wizards. Although suitable high-level equipment is difficult to find and cannot be bought with money at the moment, the attached "summoning souls" ability and the attribute of increasing the upper limit of mental power are not of much help to my "summoning of the undead" at my current strength stage, and I still cannot summon a tenth-level upper-order undead subordinate under normal circumstances. However, they are still quite useful to me, mainly because I value their attribute of increasing the success rate of signing the "soul contract", and the "blood change" ability further increases the basic mental power by 3%. Finally, I can subdue the tenth-level upper-order Black Dragon King and the Hell Dragon, so I don't have to borrow equipment with this attribute from other Undead wizards such as Qingwu Feiyang when needed, which is convenient for my next focus on conquering the Hell Dragon clan.
Completely solved the problem of Shaman and the blood-sucking Prince Fang. In addition to continuing to explore and expand in the depths of the Ghost Knight Kingdom, stepping up efforts to conquer more level 10, especially level 10 upper-level ghost knights of various types, forming a main battle team, and striving to maintain a dominant position in the increasingly fierce competition with other top-level undead wizards, the focus of the next stage of development will be transferred to the third forbidden area "Hell Volcano" located on the native continent according to the plan, and strive to completely conquer the Hell Dragon clan in the shortest possible time, so that Taotao can replace Hades as the Hell Dragon King. Only by bringing all the Hell Dragons, including the Hell Dragon King, under my control can I have more powerful subordinates to summon in the battle with the light players, so that I will not be stretched to the limit in terms of manpower, and there may be a risk of insufficient application, and can better adapt to various situations and the needs of more intense battles.
Among my volcanic undead subordinates, the highest-ranking one is the Pharaoh Khufu, who has reached the upper level of level 10. However, because his identity has undergone new changes and is too special, although his level and strength are lower than Hades, the Hell Dragon King, but his identity is at the same level. They are all unique and top-level existences in their undead races. Naturally, he is unwilling to be inferior to Hades and be controlled by him. He will not challenge other upper-level Hell Dragons of level 10 to compete for the qualification to soak in the "magma cave|mouth" and do such things that undermine his dignity, honor and identity as a pharaoh. Although I can use the power of "soul contract" to force it to return to the "hell volcano" to challenge, doing so is extremely contrary to its nature and hurts its self-esteem too much. Even if it reluctantly obeys, it will not be able to perform well. It will also affect the degree of fit between us, destroy our original good relationship, and enhance its resistance consciousness, which is likely to be more harm than good. In addition, I have to cooperate with the other eleven great pharaohs to perform the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array". The key to ensuring the operation of the array is to store a certain amount of energy through the "pyramid". In order to keep consistent with the other eleven great pharaohs, I can only absorb and store energy of dark attributes, and there is no need to return to the "Hell Volcano" to perform it. Usually, I need to constantly cooperate with the other eleven great pharaohs to practice the "Great Pyramid Sky Cage and Earth Locking Array" to strive to operate more proficiently and further enhance the power and effectiveness of the array. Therefore, I can no longer dispatch Khufu back to the "Hell Volcano" to continue to help me seize more benefits. It can be said that there are gains and losses, and I am unwilling to have my cake and eat it too.
In this way, the highest-level volcanic undead subordinates who can be used to help me fight for power can only be Taotao and Guben, who have evolved directly to the intermediate level of level ten. As an alien volcanic undead, Guben does not need to challenge and kill the upper-level tenth-level Hell Dragon to obtain the qualification for promotion. He can only continuously enhance his own strength and challenge the Hell Dragons or alien volcanic undead of higher strength or even level to compete for the "magma caves" occupied by them that contain higher fire energy for himself to soak. As long as he absorbs enough energy and has the corresponding strength requirements, he can automatically evolve and advance, and will not be restricted by the quota of the upper-level tenth-level Hell Dragon. Moreover, with the help of the abundant fire energy provided by the "magma caves", their strength is improved very quickly, much faster than the relatively large Hell Dragons. This is probably one of the main reasons why Hades, the Hell Dragon King, is so afraid of the alien volcanic undead. He is worried that they will develop too quickly without the constraints of the survival of the fittest. If they gradually evolve to the upper level of level 10, they will not only consume too much energy resources of the "Hell Volcano", which will easily destroy the inherent balance and endanger the ruling position of the Hell Dragon clan. That's why he tried his best to suppress them and didn't give them a fair development environment, which made the power of the alien volcanic undead slow to grow and failed to accumulate enough strength to form a strong impact on the ruling position of the Hell Dragon clan. Therefore, the ancient book is relatively easy to pass. Even in the magma soaking area of the middle level 10, it can also compete for the "rock cave" with relatively high fire attribute energy. If I join hands, the chance is relatively greater, and there is no need to take too many risks. However, Taotao needs to take on a more important responsibility. It must be the first to evolve into the upper-level tenth-level Hell Dragon, only then can a new situation be opened up for me and new opportunities for development. Moreover, there is a higher goal, the Hell Dragon King Hades, waiting for it to conquer. It is indeed a long way to go, not only Taotao himself, but also I, as the master, need to make more efforts.
However, before that, the relationship between the level 10 lower-level volcanic undead magma soaking area must be sorted out first. After all, if a level 10 upper-level Hell Dragon fails in the challenge, it will completely die, and turn into soul energy into the "Dragon Cave", waiting to be reborn as a new level 10 lower-level Hell Dragon. In this way, there is a vacuum for the level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon. Once one of them wins the promotion challenge and evolves into a level 10 upper-level Hell Dragon, there will be one less level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon, resulting in a difference. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the number of Hell Dragons of each level, a supplementary regulation has been made. If a level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon is promoted to level 10 upper, the vacant position will be challenged by the top two Hell Dragons in the level 10 lower-level area to compete for the vacant seat. The winner will be promoted and automatically promoted to a new level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon with the help of Hades, the Hell Dragon King, without having to kill the original level 10 middle-level Hell Dragon through the promotion challenge to evolve. The loser will occupy the "magma cave entrance" ranked first in the level 10 lower volcanic undead area. This can be regarded as a tricky rule, and it is also a helpless measure to maintain a relative balance between the different levels of Hell Dragons. If Taotao or other level 10 middle-level Hell Dragons evolve to level 10 upper, it will directly benefit the two top-ranked Hell Dragons in the level 10 lower area. This is not the result I want to see, so I must first integrate the original forces in the level 10 lower volcanic undead area to ensure that even if there is any advantage, it will be obtained by my men, so that I will not work hard for a while, but it will be a benefit to outsiders in vain, and then I will have to spend some effort to take it back.
At this time, by dispatching almost all the volcanic undead subordinates, including those with names and higher IQs, to search the entire "Hell Volcano" as carefully as possible, I have found seven "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystals" and sixteen "Thousand Years Fire Lotuses" for me. In addition, there are some areas with too many complex and dangerous terrains, as well as areas with extremely harsh and changeable environments that have not been fully investigated. Further exploration is still needed, which may bring me some gains. I have ordered a group of volcanic undead subordinates to continue the in-depth search and try not to miss any natural treasures on the "Hell Volcano" that may be obtained by me, so as to bring me greater help. If you want to conquer the Hell Nether Dragon Clan, especially challenge and defeat Hades, the Hell Nether Dragon King, without the help of the "Thousand Years Fire Lotus" or even the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal", even if I join forces to fight, Taotao will not be able to do it at all. Compared with the seven "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystals" and sixteen "Thousand Years Fire Lotuses" I have found, at least twenty of the tenth-level upper-level Hell Dragons should be able to deal with them for a while. Even if Hades comes up with some tricks to disrupt and sabotage my actions, I won't be too afraid and have enough confidence to fight him. It is precisely because of this that I dare to challenge on such a large scale and strive to subdue more Hell Dragons, openly challenging the Hell Dragon clan, especially Hades.
The lower level 10 Flame Demon Kekexili is like the mid-level 10 Flying Fire Ghost Emperor Guben. As long as it occupies the "magma cave|mouth" containing more fire attribute energy, it will have the opportunity to evolve to the mid-level 10. And because of its relatively unique ability, like Guben, it is also a volcanic subordinate that I value. Therefore, I first arranged for it to challenge the No. 1 Hell Nether Dragon who occupies the best "magma cave|mouth". After taking a "Millennium Fire Lotus", I joined forces and experienced a hard battle. Mainly relying on the help of my "Intermediate Puppetry" magic that has been further enhanced by improving a lot of basic mental power and effectiveness, I finally succeeded in defeating the opponent and taking this best "magma cave|mouth". Anyway, Kekexili is an alien volcanic undead. Even if it occupies the first-ranked "magma cave|mouth", it is not qualified to be replaced. Evolving to the mid-level 10 with the help of Hades will not affect the future of other Hell Nether Dragon subordinates. As for the defeated lower-level tenth-grade Hell Dragon, I naturally would not let it go and subdued it to become my subordinate.
In fact, it is relatively easy to seize the "magma cave entrance". With my strength and the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal" and "Millennium Fire Lotus" I have, I could have helped Kekexili, Let's Dywa and Tambizi to successfully win the challenge simply to occupy the "magma cave entrance" containing higher fire attribute energy. However, the key is that it is more difficult to defend the "magma cave entrance" that has been seized. Other lower-level tenth-level hell dragons or alien volcanic undead are also thinking about seizing better "magma cave entrances". If Kekexili is not strong enough, and Hades, a treacherous guy, is secretly against me, he will definitely challenge them in turn. I can't always use the "Millennium Fire Lotus" to help them cope with the challenge. That way, no matter how much I have, it will not be enough. Therefore, it is necessary to plan properly. Once it starts, launch a thunderous offensive, strive to defeat as many of the stronger hell dragons as possible and subdue them to become my subordinates, and do my utmost to weaken their power to reduce the threat to me as much as possible.
Once the subjugation operation started, it became unstoppable. After Hoh Xil, Let'diva and Tambizi also applied for the "magma cave mouth" challenge, challenging the second and third ranked Hell Dragon respectively. They staggered the time, about three days apart, to facilitate my participation and allow me to get enough rest time to recover. Tambizi faced the second ranked Hell Dragon. With its strength, the "Undead Disintegration Method", and my help, it can completely defeat its opponent without taking the "Millennium Fire Lotus". As for Let'diva, its recent development momentum is also good. With the help of the "Soul Contract" and my guidance, its strength has also improved a little. With my help, challenging the third ranked Hell Dragon will take a little more time at most, and it should not be too difficult to win, and it does not need to take the "Millennium Fire Lotus". After all, the number of these natural treasures is limited, and there will be many places where they will be needed in the future. Try to use them to deal with mid-level and especially upper-level level ten Hell Dragons. It won't hurt to be a little frugal at the beginning.
Without the help of the "Millennium Fire Lotus", the challenge process was naturally more difficult. However, with the help of my enhanced strength, I won the challenge between the same level without any danger. The defeated Hell Dragons were also conquered by me, and I gained two more powerful lower-level tenth-level subordinates. After completing these three "Magma Cave Mouth" challenges in succession, I did not stop my offensive. I continued to cast the "Soul of the Dead" magic to help the three Hell Dragons who failed in the challenge and were newly conquered by me to heal their injuries as soon as possible. After they recovered to their perfect state, I immediately challenged the powerful Hell Dragons ranked behind me. Defeating them would make it easier for me to conquer them. With their strength, they challenged the Hell Dragons ranked behind them. With the help of me, their master, they seemed more at ease and easily dealt with their respective opponents. Not only did they not need to use the "Millennium Fire Lotus", but they also spent less time, further improving the efficiency of conquering. Then, after healing the defeated, I would continue to arrange for them to launch challenges to defeat and subdue more level-10 lower-order Hell Dragons. I would continue this cycle and make sure to subdue all the stronger level-10 lower-order Hell Dragons or alien volcanic undead to become my subordinates. This would not only expand the strength of my level-10 lower-order grassroots and weaken the power directly under Hades, but more importantly, it would eliminate my worries and prevent them from jumping out to cause trouble for me and challenge those volcanic subordinates who are weaker than them, which would easily disrupt my development.
It took more than a month to basically deal with the relatively strong Hell Dragon and the alien volcanic undead in the tenth-level lower-level immersion area. I only consumed one "Millennium Fire Lotus" on Kekexili, which laid a good foundation for my development. And the best news is that Hades has not been secretly making trouble to set obstacles and trouble me. Perhaps it is limited by the rules. It has no more effective means to curb my development. If this is really the case, then the situation is too favorable for me. I can develop more confidently and boldly according to the plan. Of course, I still cannot relax my vigilance. I need to be careful and cautious, proceed steadily, and not be too aggressive, eager to fight, and make mistakes that it will take advantage of and suddenly attack me, causing me unnecessary losses.
After laying the best foundation for development, I immediately began to enter the area of level 10 intermediate and level 10 upper. Taotao was naturally my key training target. Time was limited, and I could not stay in the "Hell Volcano" for too long. Therefore, I did not want Taotao to stay in the level 10 intermediate area to seek development. If I wanted to improve myself faster, I had to break through the level 10 intermediate area and fight in the level 10 upper area to obtain better development conditions, so that it could help it have the strength to challenge Hades, the Hell Dragon King, in the shortest possible time. It was so difficult to let Taotao, a Hell Dragon that had not evolved to the level 10 intermediate for a long time and was still at the lowest level, directly challenge the higher level level 10 upper Hell Dragon. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible to do it. Even if I joined forces to fight, facing the stronger level 10 upper Hell Dragon, its mental resistance was much higher than that of the level 10 lower Hell Dragon. I could only use the "Intermediate Puppetry Technique", and the effect I could play would probably not be too great, and the effect was limited, so there was still not much chance of winning. The difference in strength is just one level, and the "Millennium Fire Lotus" may not be able to make up for it completely. In order to be safer and avoid any accidents or troubles during the challenge, I had to spend a "Ten Thousand Year Fire Crystal" to let Taotao take it. As the lowest level in the level ten intermediate area, I challenged the Hell Dragon ranked last in the level ten upper area. As long as I can successfully defeat the opponent and evolve to the level ten upper level, and gain a foothold in the level ten upper area, I can start to expand in the level ten upper area to help me conquer more level ten upper level Hell Dragons or alien volcanic undead.
The process of challenging the tenth-level upper-order Hell Dragon was unprecedentedly difficult. Taotao relied on the super-strong rapid recovery ability and endurance granted by the "Ten Thousand Year Fire Crystal" to slowly engage in a war of attrition with the opponent. My "Intermediate Puppetry" magic did not have much effect this time, and I couldn't even slightly restrain the tenth-level upper-order Hell Dragon. I could only rely on "Soul of the Undead" and other auxiliary means to help Taotao, and even used the magic ring that released the "death ray" and two "magic storage rings". After fighting for almost two days, I finally won the hard battle and killed the tenth-level upper-order Hell Dragon. Speaking of which, most of our necromancer abilities are reflected in the summoned undead minions, and our own combat power is indeed too weak. With my strength as the "world's number one necromancer", I teamed up with a level 10 intermediate hell dragon that had taken the "Ten Thousand Years Fire Crystal", and challenged what can be said to be the weakest level 10 upper hell dragon. It was so difficult that it almost exceeded my expectations, and I almost collapsed. If I delay for a while and fail to defeat the opponent, I am afraid that I will be forced to go offline because I have exhausted my energy and can't support it. By then, Taotao will be left alone, and it will definitely be a bad time. However, such hard work is finally worth it. After helping Taotao successfully evolve into a level 10 upper hell dragon, I can start to expand my power in the level 10 upper area.
