Chapter 3256: The Crystal of DeathEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

[Hint: The player established the Pillar of the Game, current domain Black Fog concentration reached 0.3%].

[Hint: The player completed mission-Black Fog Spread (Death Realm) Seventh Ring].

[Hint: You received Crystal of Death*1.]

[Hint: The player triggered mission-Guidance Mission-Black Fog Spread (Death Realm) Eighth Ring.]

Mission description: Please attempt to spread the domain concentration of Black Fog in the Netherworld to 30%.

Mission reward: Crystal of Death*1, King of Gods’ points 200,000.

Additional description: When you leave the Netherworld, this mission line will default as failed.

It’s here!

Fang Heng’s heart stirred.

With two large Black Fog Pillars operating at the same time, the concentration of Black Fog in the environment rose very easily. In less than five minutes, the mission condition was satisfied.

A crystal in a usable state appeared in his backpack.

Fang Heng immediately held the crystal in his palm to check it.

[Item-Crystal of Death].

Description: One of the highest-tier crystals in the game. Since the player’s current level was below 70, the player could use the Crystal of Death to raise the current character level by 1.

Fang Heng’s pupils shrank suddenly at the sight.

The Crystal of Death turned out to be a level-up gemstone!

At this stage, he spent most of his time outside the game, so killing monsters did not drop any crystals or game rewards. As a result, his personal level had not increased for a long time.

By calculation, he had been stuck at level 59 for quite a while.

In theory, according to normal tiers, from Level 59 onward, he would need rainbow crystals to level up, and for Levels 60–69, holy spirit crystals would be required.

From the description of the Crystal of Death, this thing should be a crystal of an even higher tier than the holy spirit crystal, able to raise a level directly with just one.

Most likely, it was the upgrade gemstone used for levels 70–79!

And also!

From the game hint, the Crystal of Death was considered the highest tier!

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

So the Netherworld was considered by the game to be the highest-level dungeon?

Of course, in theory, if he used the Crystal of Death at Level 69, it would be the most profitable.

But for now...

Fang Heng glanced again at the stage eight mission.

The mission required him to continue guarding the Pillars of the Game and expand the domain concentration of Black Fog.

As the Black Fog spread, more and more evil spirit bones approached, and the pressure on the magic array would only grow.

No waiting!

Fang Heng clenched his palm slightly, and the crystal in his hand instantly shattered. At once, the aura of Black Fog that escaped from the Crystal of Death wrapped around Fang Heng’s body.

The game hint suddenly appeared.

[Hint: The player’s current level rose to Level 60. Due to the player’s talent skill, the player additionally gained 86,577 zombie clones. The player’s current zombie clone total: 519,458 (partial awaiting resurrection state).]

Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Almost at the same time, alchemy magic arrays slowly rotated and appeared out of thin air around Fang Heng. With wailing sounds, zombie clones struggled as they crawled out from the barren earth beneath, immediately forming flesh cocoons on the spot.

[Hint: The player chose to consume King of Gods’ points 86,577*500. Player is currently mutating zombie clones-worm body solidification transformation...]

Leveling up by one grade gave nearly 100,000 zombie clones. Just the worm mutation transformation alone required 50 million King of Gods’ points.

It was far from enough!

Do not think that having more zombies was all good. Each zombie required a huge investment of King of Gods’ points!

Fang Heng only felt his points flowing away like water. The King of Gods’ points he had earned earlier through his spawns were quickly drained.

It seemed that after his condition recovered, he still had to spend time using his spawns to grind more King of Gods’ points...

Fang Heng quickly pulled his thoughts back and looked up around him.

As more and more evil spirit skeletal creatures surged in from all sides, the binding interference effect of the alchemy magic array was gradually being weakened.

Although the skeletal creatures still could not break through the restraint of the alchemy magic array for the time being, it was clearly only a matter of time.

The cocoons inside the alchemy magic array pulsed quickly.

"Gulp, gulp..."

Moments later, the first batch of zombie clones completed the threadworm transformation.

The zombie clones crawled out of the cocoons, staggering toward the evil spirit bones that were struggling continuously under the bind.

"Hu!"

The most basic normal attack of a zombie clone—approaching and clawing at the evil spirit bones.

Although the skeletal creatures’ feet were restrained, their upper bodies still moved freely. With a sudden slash of their bone sabers, they left a long wound across the zombie clone’s body.

It looked ferocious and horrifying.

But it did not hurt!

Or rather, the zombie clones did not feel pain. The wounds healed rapidly, and after being knocked back, they again staggered toward the evil spirit bones.

The evil spirit bones, being creatures with low intelligence, acted purely by instinct. Seeing the zombie clones approaching, they actively attacked.

One slash, two slashes, continuous heavy strikes.

But they just could not be killed!

Not only that, but soon they were surrounded by a dense crowd of zombie clones, pressing tightly around them, making it even difficult to raise a weapon to strike.

"Heh... settled!"

A sly smile appeared at Fang Heng’s lips as he deliberately controlled the zombie clones to fill every space inside the alchemy magic array.

After ensuring the safety of the magic array, he then tried to split off another group of zombie clones, staggering outward toward the periphery of the array.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"

The evil spirit bones outside the magic array were unaffected by the bind. Their footwork was agile, and with a slash they left a deep wound on a zombie clone, cutting straight to the bone!

Seeing that the zombie clone did not die from one blow and merely leaned backward, the skeletal creature instantly pursued, bone saber slashing down again.

Chasing!

After more than ten continuous strikes, the zombie clone’s HP was emptied and it exploded on the spot.

The worm body mutation activated!

Tiny red threadworms crawled out from the exploded remains. A portion of the red worms immediately tried to crawl onto the skeletal creature’s bones.

"Chi! Chi chi chi!!"

The evil spirit bones instinctively released soul fire from their bodies.

The red threadworms attempting to attach to them were burned, falling to the ground and writhing in agony.

The remaining red worms seemed to realize the danger. They no longer attacked but instead quickly gathered on the ground, and in a blink reformed into a zombie life form.

The skeletal creature could not comprehend why the zombie clone had resurrected.

It did not matter.

Hatred born of the soul instinct drove them to once again attack the zombie clones emanating Black Fog aura.

Even if the zombie clones could rise ten thousand times, they would kill them ten thousand times!

In just a short time, zombie clones had already formed a ring around the periphery of the alchemy magic array, blocking tightly the swarm of evil spirit bones gathering from outside.
