In the legendary scrolls passed down from ancient times to the present, Emperors of various dynasties were like brilliant stars, standing at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living beings.
However, among these many Emperors, there was one who was the most powerful and mysterious, historically known as the Emperor of the Ages!
He was the first Emperor in history, opening the era of the magic dynasty with unparalleled majesty!
He was the pinnacle of five-element Forbidden Curses, controlling the power of heaven and earth with every gesture!
He was the creator of Undead magic, opening up a mysterious domain that transcends life and Death!
He was also the builder of the Great Wall, his achievements as eternal as the majestic Great Wall!
Every title was like the resounding strike of a great bell, enough to awe ancient and modern times!!
"It's over..." Han Ji mumbled, his soul lost.
Even though the Ancient King was once the supreme Emperor of the human dynasty, that was during his lifetime.
Now, he is no longer alive, but an immortal existence ruling the Undead kingdom.
His awakening will bring the shadow of Death, and this city will become a carnival for the Undead!
"Let me go!" Mu He struggled desperately, shouting hoarsely.
However, those invisible large hands exerted force again, gripping him tightly like steel pincers.
"Ah!!!" A shrill scream pierced the sky.
"Release him." The Ancient King finally spoke, his voice deep and distant, as if coming from the depths of endless time.
Han Ji felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, subconsciously letting go of Mu He.
His heart was utterly cold.
Could it be that the Ancient King was secretly colluding with the Black Vatican?
Otherwise, why would the Ancient King save this Blue-robed Deacon?
If the Ancient King truly colluded with the Black Vatican, it would be a complete catastrophe for all humanity!
Mu He, now released, was also full of doubts, but in an instant, surprise completely overwhelmed him.
He used his hands and feet, scrambling clumsily to the edge of the city wall, completely losing his usual demeanor as a Blue-robed Deacon.
"Great Undead Emperor, supreme ruler of the ancient kingdom, we welcome your descent upon this land!"
"Your land is now being encroached upon by others. Please reclaim your vast territory that originally belonged to you, and let the great ancient glory once again shine upon this land!!"
At this moment, Mu He was like the most devout fanatic, offering all his faith to the Ancient King.
Everyone who witnessed this scene shivered with fear.
The Mountain Peak Corpse moved slowly, carrying the Ancient King's dynasty step by step closer to the north city wall.
Fortunately, the residents inside the city had already evacuated from the north city wall, so the movement of the Mountain Peak Corpse did not cause any casualties.
However, as it approached, fear spread rapidly among the crowd, and people became increasingly panicked.
"Ancient King, the dead have their place of return, and the living also have their realm of existence. There should be a clear boundary between the two." Han Ji suppressed the fear in his heart and said loudly.
The Ancient King remained silent, exuding a chilling aura.
After the Mountain Peak Corpse delivered him to the north city wall, it stood quietly to the side.
"Great Emperor, we are here to welcome your arrival!!!!" Mu He became even more frenzied, his devotion to the Ancient King almost pathological.
Although staying in the Ancient Capital meant possibly sacrificing his life for the grand ceremony at any time, Mu He still tried to secure a glimmer of hope for himself.
At that time, not only would Salan not blame him, but she might even heavily reward him!
"You are not my subject, nor are you qualified to become my subordinate." The Ancient King's voice was as cold as ice, breaking the brief silence.
Mu He's face instantly stiffened, but then he heard the Ancient King slowly say: "I know who you are."
Know who I am? Mu He fell into confusion.
However, his confusion was no longer important. Because gray-black tentacles suddenly extended from beneath the Ancient King's feet, like agile venomous snakes, instantly coiling tightly around him.
Those tentacles actually drilled directly into Mu He's head, and the intense pain made him let out a painful wail, that piercing sound echoing over the north city wall for a long time.
His soul was forcibly extracted!!
A moment later, the Ancient King seemed to let out a cold laugh: "I found the rats in the sewers, capture them!"
As soon as his voice fell, countless Yin Specters and ghosts poured out from the Dark Abyss in the sky, howling and rushing into every corner of the Ancient Capital.
In an instant, the Ancient Capital seemed to instantly plunge into the Avici Hell, with a hundred ghosts roaming at night!
Everyone witnessed this breathtaking scene.
Time slowly passed, and those Yin Specters and ghosts dragged out one gray-cloaked figure after another in the Ancient Capital.
"Are those people from the Black Vatican?!" Han Ji and the others were full of surprise, truly not understanding why the Ancient King would do this.
Moreover, it seemed that the Black Vatican members in the Ancient Capital were all caught in one fell swoop.
"Pain, sin..." The Ancient King murmured in a low voice, his voice full of disdain and disgust.
In his eyes, these souls were so defiled and unbearable.
The Ancient King reached out, and with unparalleled power, forcibly extracted the defiled souls of the Black Vatican members, including Mu He.
These souls were kneaded into a ball, and dozens of souls instantly transformed into a terrifying giant ghost shadow, covered in broken limbs and arms, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, emitting a nauseatingly evil aura.
The souls within the ghost shadow wailed, roared, cursed, pleaded...
However, everything was futile.
The Ancient King poured a large amount of Death energy into it, and in just an instant, transformed it into an Undead, and its level reached the Advanced Commander stage.
"From today onwards, you shall be the lowest level of Twisted Undead among the Undead. Even if you see a Servant-level Undead, you must kneel and bow." The Ancient King's voice was like a great bell, echoing between heaven and earth, filled with unquestionable majesty.
"No!!!!!" The Twisted Undead let out heavy ghost wails, with Mu He's voice being the most miserable.
His cultivation was the highest, so he became the core of the Twisted Undead, enduring the greatest pain.
Even though his heart was full of unwillingness, he could not disobey the command from the Undead Emperor who created him; this was an absolute truth engraved in the very essence of the Undead!
"Ancient King, I beg you to spare the millions of living people in the city. We are willing to offer your royal capital with both hands!" Han Ji braced himself and stepped forward, even directly kneeling before the Ancient King, his voice full of earnestness.
The Ancient King stood silently, his face obscured by Death energy, making it impossible to discern any expression, but a bone-chilling gaze fell upon Han Ji.
He slowly spoke: "Through the ages, there is no longer any land for me to walk upon in the human world. I yield the human world to you, and I shall go to the Death Kingdom to rule over everything there."
"Let it end here."
After the Ancient King finished speaking, he turned and left.
The Mountain Peak Corpse beneath him extended its giant claw, grabbed the frantically struggling Twisted Undead, and disappeared from everyone's sight along with the Ancient King.
As the Ancient King departed, the Undead returned underground one after another, and the Dark Abyss also drifted off to who knows where.
"He, he just left???"
Everyone looked at each other, everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare.
Shouldn't the Undead be the most bloodthirsty, the most fond of the flesh and blood of living creatures?
Thinking of the Ancient King's words just now, Han Ji remained silent for a moment before saying:
"As an Undead Emperor, perhaps the Ancient King's spirit has not been consumed by slaughter; he is still the Emperor of the Ages who founded the magic dynasty."
