I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 378 You're lucky, the Situ royal family is safe.

Chapter 378 You're lucky, the Situ royal family is safe.

Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared, and all the withered branches were cut down.

A dark figure dressed in armor and wielding a sword appeared before Jiang Chen.

The armor and longsword radiated a mysterious mythical glow, remaining sharp despite their age.

These items once belonged to a god-level powerhouse of the human race, an unparalleled being.

Jiang Chen understood immediately. The master of this shadowy figure was once a god-level expert of the human race. He looked down at Jiang Chen, his eyes flashing red.

Jiang Chen held the Creation Scepter but did not activate its power, knowing it would have no effect even if he did. The shadowy figure's strength was unimaginably powerful.

The dark figure turned to face the rotting giant tree, leaving its back to Jiang Chen.

He brandished his longsword and instantly soared into the sky, engaging in a fierce battle with the rotting giant tree.

The branches and canes were cut down, creating a spectacular scene.

At that moment, Jiang Chen was deeply shocked.

"He was actually protecting me..."

He knew that this was not to protect him personally, but to protect humanity.

"His whole body was rotting; he was clearly dead."

Jiang Chen sighed, marveling at the immense power of this will.

Even after he died and turned into a decaying corpse, his persistent will remained undiminished, becoming an unshakable obsession.

Then, even more powerful beings descended. During the great war of that year, several god-level beings left their traces, and now they manifested themselves with unimaginable power.

They had their eyes on the Creation Scepter in Jiang Chen's hand; each one was so powerful that Jiang Chen was powerless to resist it.

However, immediately afterward, a god-level expert from the human race reappeared before Jiang Chen, blocking these powerful attacks for him.

Such things happened one after another.

One after another, human god-level powerhouses appeared, pulling Jiang Chen back from the brink of death.

Jiang Chen was so shocked that he could not be more shocked than he had imagined.

What kind of will can withstand the erosion of time?

It transcends life and time.

It penetrates deep into the bone marrow, seeping into every inch of the body.

Jiang Chen felt a deep sense of respect.

"Alright!" Situ Yu's voice rang in my ears.

The barrier didn't look any different, but Jiang Chen knew it was different when he touched it.

The palm passed right through it.

He finally glanced at the human god-level powerhouses who were engaged in a fierce battle.

"If it is possible in the future, I will resurrect you."

Jiang Chen didn't know if he had the chance or if he could do it.

But he truly made this wish at that moment.

He then turned and walked into the barrier.

As Jiang Chen left, the aura of the Creation Scepter disappeared, along with the aura of the living.

The battle stopped almost instantly.

The human race's god-level powerhouses flew back to one of the mountain peaks together, and then there was no further movement.

The other corpses also returned to their respective homes.

The "Corpse Realm" fell silent once more, darkness once again enveloping the land. The next moment, the undead army left behind by Jiang Chen disintegrated simultaneously, scattering completely.

Beyond the barrier lies a secret realm.

The secret realm is not large, only about a hundred meters in diameter.

In the center of the secret realm, a teleportation array was set up.

Jiang Chen glanced at the secret realm, which was less than ten thousand square meters in size and contained a large number of formations.

In the past, he couldn't understand the formation at all.

But now that he has experience as a formation master, he can understand it a little better.

These formations connect to the outer barrier, and also to an even more terrifying seal.

According to Situ Yu, this seal sealed off the entire "Corpse Realm".

The human race once paid a heavy price to seal the "Corpse Realm." "Great, we can go back through the teleportation array." Situ Yu checked the teleportation array, which bore the Situ family's insignia, and he knew how to control it.

Jiang Chen said, "No rush, let's rest here for a while."

Situ Yu was puzzled. They could have gone back already, so why did they need to rest?

Then she understood.

Jiang Chen summoned one skeleton after another.

In that battle just now, the undead army was almost completely wiped out in just one minute.

The remaining skeletons were mostly contaminated by the putrefactive poison, and in the end, fewer than 2000 skeletons remained intact.

Of the 22 lich generals, 3 died, so the losses were minimal.

Without skeletons, the Lich General is just a lone commander, practically useless. Now that they can go back, given Jiang Chen's cautious nature, he'll make sure to replenish the undead army before teleporting.

In case something goes wrong during the transmission, at least there are ways to deal with it.

Situ Yu understood Jiang Chen's idea after a moment's thought and sat down quietly to the side.

Skeletons are summoned at a rate of one per second.

Jiang Chen could summon 3600 animals per hour without stopping.

It will take about 4 hours to replenish completely.

After watching for a while, Situ Yu gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Doesn't his skill consume mental energy?"

"I can clearly feel a strong mental fluctuation; each skeleton requires a lot of mental energy."

"But how come he seems to have inexhaustible mental energy?" "Just how strong is his mental attribute?"

Situ Yu was extremely shocked. She had always thought that Jiang Chen was very strong in combat, but she had never paid attention to Jiang Chen's mental strength.

In the "corpse world," they spend their days struggling to survive amidst the rotting corpses, never thinking about anything else.

Now that it's safe, I can finally relax and focus on other things.

Jiang Chen silently summoned the skeleton, which really startled Situ Yu.

Situ Yu realized one thing: unless he encountered an exceptionally powerful opponent.

Jiang Chen's undead army is likely to be invincible.

Especially on the battlefield, the undead legion, once deployed, could probably defeat an army of demons ten times its size.

Most importantly, the undead army is fearless of death and can be replenished at any time. In fact, as Jiang Chen's level increases, the number of undead will be even more astonishing, and the skeletons will become even more powerful.

At that time, Jiang Chen alone will be able to take on the entire clan's army.

"If only I could have an army like that..."

Situ Yu suddenly snapped awake.

She knew she was overthinking it; it was impossible.

But she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild, "If only I could marry her..."

A chill ran down her spine as she recalled Jiang Chen's expression when he killed the rotting corpse.

She realized that someone like Jiang Chen, decisive and ruthless, was definitely not someone she could control.

It's better to be his friend than his wife.

Thinking about it this way, Situ Yu felt much more comfortable.

Jiang Chen glanced at Situ Yu subtly.

The woman's gaze was a bit off just now, but it seems normal now.

Ignoring everything else, he continued summoning skeletons.

There's no sense of security until the undead army is fully replenished.

Finally, after a full four hours, the depleted undead army was fully replenished.

Not counting the summoned troops that came later, the 22 undead legions directly under the command of the Lich General, totaling 14520 skeletons, were once again at full strength.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. "Alright, let's go back."

Situ Yu nodded and immediately stepped into the teleportation array, leaving a series of marks.

As Situ Yu activated the teleportation array, a brilliant light suddenly emanated from the magnificent array located beneath the palace.

The spirit of the formation appeared, and at the same time, a series of thoughts were transmitted to it.

The three god-level powerhouses in the royal family, Situ Liang, Situ Li, and Situ Zhan, received the news simultaneously. Someone had returned from the "Corpse Realm" via a teleportation array.

The three of them showed surprise and delight and rushed over at the same time.

Li Xueru also received the message simultaneously, and the next second he appeared in front of the spirit of the formation.

He came here and left behind teleportation coordinates without a sound.

You can come anytime you want.

When Situ Liang and the other two arrived, they found that Li Xueru was already there.

"Greetings, Confucian God." Situ Liang bowed to Li Xueru first.

Situ Li and Situ Zhan also took the initiative to greet Li Xueru.

Although god-level powerhouses are supposed to be on equal footing, Li Xueru's strength compels them to show him respect.

Li Xueru simply hummed in response, ignoring them, and instead asked the spirit of the formation, "Who was teleported here?" The spirit of the formation replied, "A man and a woman, two people."

As it spoke, a picture was projected in front of it, showing Jiang Chen and Situ Yu.

Li Xueru breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Jiang Chen was alright.

Situ Liang and the other two couldn't help but show their joy.

Jiang Chen is alright, which means the Situ family is also safe.

It was an unexpected joy that Situ Yu survived.

Situ Liang, the old father, almost burst into tears.

The three of them knew exactly what the "Corpse Realm" was and how difficult it was to return.

Even for them, going there meant almost certain death.

A few days ago, they had given up all hope.

I never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

It takes some time to teleport back from the "Corpse Realm".

Li Xueru looked at Situ Liang and the other two, "You guys are lucky this time; the Situ family has been saved."

After saying that, he teleported away and did not stay here.

Ten seconds later, the murderous aura that had shrouded the royal palace for more than a month receded like a tide.
