My Descendants Are My Power

On all sides of the Endless Sea of Death stood four zombies!

Cynthia, who was once beaten half to death outside the former Glory City, the headless high priest Clark, Luke, Michael, and the commander of Battle Oversight, Clarence.

"Two Sky Corpses have already been successfully refined."

Ethan clicked on the information for these zombies. Druid priestess Cynthia had naturally been refined long ago. This female Sky Corpse was now ghostly pale, dressed in a white gown, truly spectral. Pieces of Blackwood, obtained after killing Druid masters, floated behind her like a halo, forming a circle. Totems surrounded her, swirling around her.

[Junior Sky Corpse: Light]

[Dark Magic: Eight Trigrams Barrier Technique (predicting the opponent's use of natural energy with a snap of the fingers), Dark Energy Prison Technique (using predictive Turtle Shells and Druid totems to trap enemies with the power of nature)]

These half-dead zombies, Nathan always managed to make great use of them, a unique effect of the supreme ability treasure, Death Coffin. The former priestess Cynthia, now the Light Zombie, was even stronger than before!

After transforming into Sky Corpses, some of their life's techniques lingered and merged with the energy of death!

As for Luke?

Luke was once at the peak of Competent Force. Nathan could not use Luke's full strength, nor could he control his Competent Force. Even with the help of Death Coffin, he could only exert the mid-stage power of Luke's Competent Force.

[Intermediate Sky Corpse: Luke]

[Dark Magic: Ghost Mountain (Summoning the mountain with the energy of death to fight)]

Even with just one Dark Magic, Luke was still incredibly powerful. The Jade Mountain where Clark was stationed was Luke's technique, and now it could still summon the Jade Mountain, only now the natural energy was replaced by the energy of death.

Luke's head had long been used to sacrifice Nicholas. Now headless, clad in armor, wielding two supreme ability weapons, ghost-headed greatswords, his combat power was formidable.

Besides, there were two other recently collected corpses.

[Zombie Clarence: In the process of being refined]

[Zombie Michael: In the process of being refined]

"Almost there, three years, after three years my Four Symbols Death Energy Formation will be complete, summoning the Sea of Death, and I can fight a high priest alone!"

Nathan's eyes shone brightly, those corpses falling into the Endless Sea of Death, the energy of death falling into the bodies of the two new Sky Corpses.

Even Nathan's old friends, who knew him well, had never seen such a bizarre moment from him. For Amelia, he had once again done something against his will, indiscriminately bringing back the bodies of the dead and refining their unique souls!

No one in Cloudview County knew.

This time, supporting Starlight County, one of the goals in Blackwood's plan was to attract attention, allowing Nathan to collect and refine corpses!

...

"Nathan refining the Four Symbols Death Energy Formation can fight a high priest, but there are still two people, and several priests."

Ethan watched the progress of his people, extremely anxious.

Three years, for him, was just three or four hours!

Soon they would face powerful enemies in the natural magic formation, unable to seek help from Cloudview County and Starlight County. Just like Arnold of White, only a few people in their three tribes knew, and they didn't even trust people from other tribes.

Blackwood was no different; before crossing the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, any minor mistake could lead to total defeat!

[Your descendant George, with the help of Jessica and Kenneth, has asked experts from major sects to guard one side, taking advantage of the absence of Starlight County's experts on the battlefield, and begins digging at the resting places of the ancestors of the major sects.]

"Sages, are you sure there are high sages in their graves?" George asked nervously to the Sages around him, "Our elders, brothers, and sisters are all counting on us. If we can't stop a high priest, that would be a big problem. Sages, I'm under a lot of pressure."

With that, many Sages from Azure Cloud Pavilion were displeased.

"What's the problem with this kid? No matter what, our Azure Cloud Pavilion has been around for over a hundred thousand years. We old timers were once renowned figures. Starlight County is nothing compared to us; they can't hide anything from our eyes."

"Right, we still need to visit the Eight Directions Pavilion. Even though they're gone, we should check if their secret realms are still there. If they are, heh, the herbs in those realms must be thousands of years old, some even reaching the sixth or seventh grade!"

"And don't forget the Shadow Hunter Sect! That sect is also gone, but I heard they had high-level supernatural equipment. I've been envious of it since my living days, but out of respect, I never dared to take it. Now that we're digging it up, it's not too much, right?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to us old folks, and you just wait to get rich."

"..."

Ethan stared blankly at this scene. He remembered when he first unearthed these old men; they were all fighting for the future of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, grooming George to be the next master of the Pavilion. Now, it seems that with the Pavilion stable, they follow George around, tomb raiding even more diligently than him.

According to them, tomb raiding is like opening mystery boxes or scratching lottery tickets; it's addictive and always yields something exciting for sages as old as they are.

They're even waiting for George to help them restore their fragmented souls and find new bodies. However, reaching their level, the moment of restoration also means facing a thunder tribulation, which is ten times more difficult with a soul body.

...

[Your descendant Lucas, along with The Celestial Star Swordmaster, is heading to Sword Mountain...]

[Your descendant Julian, carrying years of accumulated supernatural puppets, is heading to the Endless Forest...]

[Your descendant Justin is secretly calling trusted experts from the family for help!]

[...]

Jimmy said it would be nearly impossible for Amelia to take over Arnold's natural magic array, but he underestimated Blackwood; Blackwood is preparing!

They have a clear division of labor. Nathan, George, and Azure Dragon can each hold off a high priest.

Charlie Crackle, Luna, Lucas, and The Celestial Star Swordmaster... along with Blackwood's many friends and the experts Blackwood has controlled over the years, are enough to withstand the rest.

They are secretly making all the preparations!

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

All eyes in Blackwood are now on the natural magic array, and everyone is heading there!

But as they approached, the Forebearer Psychic Position rose around them, and they all stopped in their tracks with grim expressions.

Then they took a deep breath and surrounded the location of the natural magic array. They didn't hide their presence as planned, nor did they prepare to catch the Druids off guard.

On this day.

All the Battle Oversight from the borders of the Emerald Empire led their members to retreat inward.

Masses of people were evacuating, the battle at the borders of Starlight County ceased, and the two major forces of Starlight County, as well as some forces from Cloudview County, returned home in defeat.

Ethan watched the screen with a grim expression.

[Special Mission—Kill national advisor Lance, Failed!]

[This year, the demon race invaded the western part of the Druids, forcing the Druids to divert their attention westward. National advisor Lance seized this opportunity to secretly negotiate with the Druids, offering twelve border counties in exchange for a thousand-year peace between the Emerald Empire and the Druids.]

[The Druids gave the human inhabitants of the twelve border cities two choices: evacuate within a year or die!]

"Damn it!"

Ethan clenched his teeth in frustration. They had prepared for so long, and Blackwood was still fighting for their homeland. After their great victory in Cloudview County, they had made various plans, standing at the pinnacle of Azure Cloud. Nicholas even sacrificed his life for the current situation!

But fate is unpredictable, and they still couldn't prevent their downfall. Lance's single decision made all their efforts seem laughable.

Everyone in Blackwood looked at the natural magic array, their eyes filled with reluctance.
