The retrieved black mysterious fragment was delivered to Karthas as soon as possible.

And in a magical chamber on the third floor of the Stratholme Magic Tower, a large dark magic ritual is being hastily prepared.

In a large circle composed entirely of magic crystals, countless flesh and blood bodies were spliced together in a rugged and strange posture, bulging into a mysterious and bloody magic altar!

The flesh and blood pedestal around the altar is made of white bones to piece together complex three-dimensional patterns, which makes people can't hold back the slaughter surging in the depths of their hearts when they see it. The patterns spread from the altar to the edge of the chamber, flawlessly connected to the lines of magical runes on the walls, and a palpitating surge of magical energy flowed within.

On the periphery of the magic altar, there are stacks of walls of bones, made of corpses of different races, and you can vaguely see hearts, intestines, heads, and other things.

Countless corpse witches crawled in the circle and earnestly carved evil spells, their expressions serious and fanatical, as if they were doing some extremely sacred and great work. The fresh corpse source and the abundant and intense negative energy made the souls begin to manifest.

The ghosts of all races, covered in green and glowing faintly, began to wake up in the circle, wandering and crying.

The souls of these slaughtered alien creatures were firmly bound within the circle, and they seemed to have not yet understood their current situation, and they were afraid of everything around them. As a result, some fragile souls began to sob, and some of the more daring ones began to run around curiously, and their illusory bodies swayed through the corpses, not feeling any material stagnation at all.

However, the space in which they can move is only within the scope of the circle. As soon as the wraith tried to escape the circle, it was blocked by a pale green light shield that suddenly appeared.

As soon as Karthas got his hands on the black mysterious fragment, he went to the chamber and carefully placed it on the altar.

After doing all this, a high-ranking corpse witch hurriedly walked up to the legendary sorcerer and began to report on the progress of the construction of the magic circle.

"Dear Lord Karthas, the construction of the magic circle at the main venue of Stratholme has been completed by 71%, and the number of blood sacrifice creatures is 4, including 972 large and small demons, 7 dryads, 290 underground kobolds, and 115 sea tribes.

The construction of the magic circle in the Sleeping Lands branch has been completed by 67%, and the number of blood sacrifice creatures has reached 980.

The construction of the magic circle in the Chaos Land branch has been completed by 58%, and the number of blood sacrifice creatures has reached 1,120.

The construction of the magic circle in the Solma branch has been completed by 73%, and the number of blood sacrifice creatures has reached 780.

The construction of the magic circle in the Yin Wind City branch venue has been completed by 69%, and the number of blood sacrifice creatures has reached 950.

Judging from the current progress, it is expected that all the circles will be laid by midnight tonight, and the communication test will be ready at that time!

……”

From his words, it could be heard that in addition to the grand blood sacrifice circle in front of him, there were also 4 other branch circles in the cemetery that were also under construction. Such a huge investment of resources and blood sacrifice requirements are enough to show that the dark magic ritual that Karthhas is about to perform is definitely a grand sacrifice that has never been seen before.

Looking through the records of the annals of magic, I am afraid that only the "Scourge of the Dead" that took place when the Council of the Dead annexed the kingdom of Moroorhead can be compared to this ritual. However, such a grand and terrifying bloody sacrifice was only for the black mysterious fragment that the black-robed Wingnos had brought back.

Don't look at the busy cemetery casters present, but there are only a handful of people who can know the origin of the black fragments. Because it comes from the Necropolis's current worst enemy, the undead lord Kern. In order not to be sensed by such a guy, all the preparations of the cemetery are careful and careful.

Even the black-robed Wingonors was only told at the beginning of his departure to pick up an important object, and not to leave any witnesses during the whole process. Other than that, he himself knew nothing. This avoids the possibility of information leakage.

And the provider of the black shards is, of course, the legendary lich who is in a hurry to get out. I don't know what kind of cunning tricks it has used to get the fragment of the armor of Kern's personal armor without being suspicious by the other party.

This kind of method really made Calthas and other dragon lich juniors feel sincerely admired.

…………

The realm of the dead, a desolate and remote mysterious canyon.

In the entire world of the undead, due to the passage of a large amount of life, the dryness and barrenness of the surface ground has intensified. With the changes of the sun, moon and stars, the original black soil has become increasingly barren and has become an out-and-out barren mountain wilderness.

However, the most terrifying thing about the mysterious canyon is not the desolation of the land, but the imbalance and chaos of the elements.

The loss of the origin of the plane leads to the loosening of the plane barrier, and the boundary membrane is obviously thinning, and in some special areas, this change is especially obvious.

Mystic Canyon clearly belongs to this area.

The roaring and converging Outer Bounds Raging Void Hurricane, although it was not yet able to invade in a big way, had already caused an elemental imbalance in this part of the region. When the elemental particles are disturbed to a certain extreme, a state of "chaos" like nothingness emerges.

If any creature in the material plane suddenly encounters this "chaos" vortex, its entire body will be exploded by its own magical power, turning into a brilliant magical firework. The more mana creatures are, the more dangerous this is, and some low-magic creatures can survive.

And undead creatures that rely on soul fire, even the lowest-level skeletons are considered magical creatures by default, so they are even more unsuitable for surviving in this environment.

Therefore, in the undead world, there are many such "chaotic" areas that even undead creatures are unwilling to set foot in easily. They also tend to be "death zones" in the undead world.

I have to say that the Lord of Death, Kern, is also a genius, and he was able to find out these "forbidden areas of death" one by one, and properly place the undead believers he had collected in them.

The mysterious canyon in front of you is also a famous "death forbidden zone", and you can't find half an undead creature within a radius of 100 miles. But as long as you can break through the Chaos Vortex outside the canyon that is more than ten miles wide, then you will find a massive underground ruin deep in the underground of the mysterious canyon.

And at this moment, living in the ruins are the devout followers of Kern.

According to the news from Sazastan, Kern has prepared as many as twenty or thirty such hidden gathering points for believers. Each hoarding point is usually guarded by one of its Holy Order fanatics, and the location is secluded enough that its anomalous behavior for tens of thousands of years has not been detected by other undead kings. Let it walk on the undead continent as the oldest undead monarch in peace.

Kern doesn't trust the legendary lich, but considering that the other party doesn't have any companions or allies in the undead realm, many secrets don't specifically avoid it. This undoubtedly made Sazastan actively and passively learn many of its secrets.

In order to save himself to the greatest extent, Sazastan did not hesitate to take the risk of invading the two Holy Order subordinates who followed Kern, thus learning more secrets of Kern from their memories.

Therefore, in such a short period of time, although Sazastan has only visited one hoarding point for believers, most of the remaining 26 hoarding points have also been excavated by it.

Of course, if the legendary lich knows, it means that the Necropolis knows.

Sazastan, who had already set up various means of contact, became a deep throat placed by the cemetery beside Kern, and all kinds of information were transmitted through different ways every day. Pieces of Kern's armor that Wingnos the Black acquired in the Ghost Forest are one of the masterpieces of the legendary Lich Sazastan.

The legendary lich moves his mouth, and the Necropolis runs and breaks his leg.

After receiving the message from the legendary lich, the cemetery also began to cast a large net, sending dozens of elite troops, and at the cost of a large number of soldiers, they found out the 11 cult hoarding sites hidden in Kern.

Other locations were too far away for the cemetery to reach, so they had to be abandoned for the time being, and instead focused on the 11 "lairs" of Kern within reach.

In order to avoid startling the snakes, any of the Kern lairs and necropolises did not directly invade, but silently gathered troops around them. It is conceivable that as soon as the duel between Skeletron and Kern's king begins, the cemetery elite will rush into these Kern lairs and slaughter them all as soon as the cemetery gives an order.

And Kern, as a doppelganger of the gods and saints, must have an inseparable spiritual connection with his own believers. Once the believers die on a large scale, Kern's status as a saint may not be so secure.

This is also the most vicious trick that many of the Necropolis's staff can conceive.

Of course, for an extra layer of insurance, the Necropolis ventured into contacting the legendary lich and asking for a personal item from Kern. Then use the powerful curse of the legendary sorcerer of Karthhas to add a touch of disgust and damage to Kern.

Afraid that these things were not enough insurance, Li Xun even used the authority of the master of his cemetery to mobilize the Pioneer Arcane Tower. Smoothly, the Arcane Tower had been anchored in the Outer Void of the Undead Realm 2 days ago. Once the battle is not harmonious, the Arcane Tower can rush into the undead realm in every minute.

And the most important party in this duel between kings, Skeleton King, Li Xun has also made complete preparations for him, and all kinds of magic treasures and strange things that replace injuries, save lives, and protect the body are simply piled up all over his body. Later, Skeletron repeatedly said that he could only support a maximum of 5 magic treasures with his spiritual power, and Li Xun could only help him carefully select them with many dragon lichs.

Treasures such as shield gems, magic shields, and lava shields were eliminated at the first time. A magic treasure of this grade can withstand an ordinary attack from the other party, and wearing it on the body is purely to occupy the quota. Items such as the Fireball Necklace, Missile Storm Ring, and Rainbow Jet Ring are not of enough grade, and I am afraid that even the other party's oily skin will not be broken, and it is even more of a "garbage goods" that need to be eliminated.

In this way, there are really few powerful magic equipment that is in line with Skeletron's identity.
