After the short repair, the Huaiguang rescue team once again began to walk towards the exit under the guidance of Ian.

Not every decision point that Ian chooses can be absolutely safe, but at least he can find a path that can lead to life among the many deaths - but now, after Ian has the power of the dead king, all the original choices are gone. There are also light red and scarlet options, all turned into a plain white.

Safety.

This is the only possibility.

Ian had only one idea about this.

——Precognitive vision, indeed, still has limitations.

"Because I've become stronger, I can no longer see many troubles... The stronger and weaker I become, the more information I get from the precognitive vision will be distorted."

"If I become the fifth energy level in the future, then the only things that I can clearly predict in this world are the disasters that will destroy the world."

Having said that, precognitive vision can still solve many small things that he may miss, but this can only happen when Ian is relaxed. Once he is serious, precognitive vision will not be able to predict clearly.

He was thinking in his mind, but in reality, the Knight of the Glen was wielding his black sword like his armor, charging together with the Redemption Light and the Red Blade.

The three of them swept through everything in front of them, clearing away the dense phantom army in front of them like chopping melons and vegetables.

Led by the Knights of the Glen, the road along the way turned into a vast ice sheet, and the dead cold air still stayed in it for a long time. And around the road, there was either the mist of broken phantoms, or monsters transformed into monsters. Corpse sculptured in ice.

And these monsters come from all over the world - the ice-armored ghost beasts in northern Yanjiang are a major local overlord. They are extremely resistant to severe cold, and their five-meter-tall bodies have been modified to be made of steel. Bones, the ice blades condensed on both arms contain extremely poisonous poison, which is enough to wreak havoc on Nanling.

But Ian forcefully used the ice to take away its vitality, and then pierced the heart with his sword, directly piercing the giant beast with hot blood, and the flesh and blood completely solidified in place.

The special monster from around Far Sword Port, the Poison Ivy, is almost immune to physical attacks. Its extremely tough and soft body is difficult to cut even with a sharp blade, and its sticky venom is almost indestructible. Freezing makes the usual method of using ice to freeze and then kill it ineffective.

But Ian didn't bother to think about how to deal with the opponent's characteristics. He directly used all his strength to 'step on' the vine monster.

Immediately, a shrill scream erupted from the body of the vine monster. The body fluids in the flexible body burst out from the pores on the body like a towel being twisted by a giant. The giant body of more than ten meters long was stepped on by Ian. The earth turned from a mass of twisted vines on the ground into an anemone.

Still a shriveled sea anemone.

With the power of the Dead King, Ian doesn't need to reveal his skills at all, he can crush them with just strength.

Passing through one decision-making hole after another, crushing one powerful enemy after another, they carved a path leading to the end of the subspace maze.

yes. What appeared in front of Ian and the Huaiguang rescue team were nothing more than a group of phantoms armed with the power of another dead king, forcibly enhanced with technology, and distorted by their nature and abilities.

A bunch of dull dolls.

As long as he is not surrounded by thousands of phantom legions, Ian believes that with the three core combat powers of Hui Sword Redemption and Red Blade, he can completely clear this seemingly difficult level.

Of course, there may be dangers, and people may die... But under the control of Ying Guang's unique sublimation skills that can control vitality and heal wounds, most minor injuries will be cured quickly, and serious injuries can also be treated by sacrificing future lifespan. cost, and accelerates recovery to the point where movement is not affected.

Not to mention, now Ian, with the blessing of the dead king's power, is invincible in this subspace maze.

The shape of the Kuangkong Armor was originally quite round and smooth, suitable for aerial operations, but now, with the blessing of the Dead King's Nether Armor, it began to become more angular, making the blue light and scarlet blood lines appear on the body. The surface spread, and even layers of blood ice condensed out of thin air.

Even the Chongyuan Iron Sword in his hand was covered with a layer of dead ice that could take away all lives and even the power of dead souls. Its surface is surrounded by clouds of white and blue mist, which distorts the refracted light.

More than that.

As another decision was made, in a jungle-like box garden, a giant tiger monster over six meters tall appeared in front of the Glen Knight.

It is the second-level form of the sharp-clawed tiger. After undergoing the transformation of Feiyandi, its claws were replaced by alloy blades, and the muscles on the surface of the body are also clearly distributed, appearing extremely developed, like armor.

This alloy-armored tiger is almost invulnerable. The only weakness is the spine on its back. However, its tall stature and dexterous movements make it difficult to get around its back. Its level of difficulty is the most difficult that Ian has ever seen in the entire subspace maze. All the second-level phantoms and strange beasts are enough to cause considerable trouble to the entire team, and it is not impossible to reduce the number of members.

Even Ian in the past could only rely on the defense of the Rockcast Knight to withstand the opponent's attack, then counterattack and kill, and finally execute him.

But with the power of the Dead Lord, Ian is just a teleportation.

His body, including the armor on his body, turned gray-black in an instant, and fine fiber-like textures appeared on his body surface and spread throughout his body.

Then, he disappeared at a seemingly slow but actually rapid speed, turning into a blurry shadow.

Ian, who had escaped into the ghost form, easily avoided the tiger's palm strike that shattered the ground and blew away the surrounding trees, and reached its back.

Finally, he transformed into a prototype and returned to the physical world.

With a slash of the sword, the originally strong muscle armor had shrunk and shriveled, and the tiger's head was broken off.

One of the Dead Lord's abilities, 'Ghost'... allows Ian to pass through most physical barriers, even human flesh and blood, in a ghostly state. Every time he passes through a flesh-and-blood body, he can also take away part of the opponent's essence, making the opponent's reaction speed slower and his thinking slower.

But this also has limitations. If it is a person with a fire attribute or extremely high quality of essence, passing through them will not be able to capture the essence. At most, the essence of both sides will cancel each other out, causing a wave of consumption.

Ian is familiar with the Dead Lord's abilities through battles on the road, and now he has summed up a total of four types.

'Netherworld Armor' that can withstand almost all attacking energy.

A 'ghost' that allows a person to transform into a void form, move quickly, and plunder the essence of the weak.

The "Curse of Silence" can add a corrosive curse through contact attacks, quickly destroy the enemy's physical form, and corrupt the enemy's life for one's own use.

And the last and most powerful ability - the 'former dead king' who can increase the spiritual energy of the source material without upper limit through the number of dead souls in the body, as well as all basic qualities.

[The deceased king of the past]

[Your body is integrated with a special collection of spiritual essence, which will continuously convert the power in the virtual realm and subspace into pure essence and spiritual energy, strengthening your life essence]

[You will get the ‘body of the swarm’ and ‘netherworld essence’. The more ectoplasmic aggregates residing in your body, the stronger your power will be, and you will automatically become the host of all the souls around you, and your body will be regarded as the best place to nourish souls]

Even the silver chip gave this ability a very high rating - it would not display general abilities, let alone give a description.

There is a very interesting point.

Compared with other inheritances and spiritual powers that use the lives of others to strengthen one's own, the peculiar inheritance of the Dead King is that it does not have any skills to utilize the souls of the dead residing in the body.

to the opposite.

The Dead Lord is essentially the ‘body’ that protects these dead souls.

Moreover, the extremely powerful power of the dead king is essentially lent to the dead king by the dead souls. If the dead souls are not willing to serve the dead king as the king, then the king will have no power.

Even relying on the virtual realm and subspace to summon the phantoms of the dead souls cannot be done.

It is hard to imagine that this seemingly extremely cruel, even anti-human inheritance... was created just for a strong man to protect the dead souls.

"Real or false... Could it be that this is the real purpose of Grand Duke Thorin?"

After realizing this, Ian actually frowned slightly as he recalled the various studies conducted by Archduke Thorin.

Artificial soul...Inheritance of the Dead King...Technology for cooperation with Lingzhiyuan and Feiyandi, 'Death River' and 'Savior'...

Could it be that... Grand Duke Thorin's true purpose is this?

"Are they thinking about a new social form? One person is the country, and oneself is the people..."

Ian is not sure about this, but to be honest, if it is true, then whether it is Grand Duke Thorin or Inaga II, their idea is indeed a bit strange, even a bit incredible.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Because while Ian was killing all the way, he had already led the Huaiguang rescue team to the exit.

This is an empty hall and a door that is not completely sealed.

The hall is very narrow, with almost no room for maneuvering. After arriving here, the more sensitive knights became nervous instantly, because they realized that if a few relatively powerful phantoms started to sneak attack as soon as they arrived at the small garden, then even if they were well-trained, They also had to pay an extremely painful price.

Their previous preparations were of limited use.

But the strange thing is that there are no phantoms or defenders here - the door leading to the outside of the subspace maze is wide open, and the dead king has not left any power here.

So, upon arriving here, Ian knew one thing very well.

It's time to say goodbye.
