At this moment, the Necrofiend in front of Jacob had turned into decaying ash, including its armor. In Jacob's palms, a scarlet bead and an exquisite black translucent spherical coin were releasing a faint aura of death law!
The former was a life crystal created after refining the Necrofiend's vitality with Life Bane Wheel's life suction ability, while the latter, the coin, was actually a Fable Legendary Rank Soul Totem!
Usually, a Soul Totem at the Fable Legendary Rank has a semi-transparent, ethereal form, appearing as a faint silhouette or outline of an abstract, symbolic figure representing the character's law concept.
However, after the death of a Fable Legendary Rank being, the Fable Legendary Soul Totem takes on a faint, ghostly form of a coin, appearing dimmer and more translucent than it did in life. It may seem fragile and ethereal, but only a powerful being with the law can damage this soul totem.
It wasn't just the case for a fable legendary rank; every soul totem of a legendary rank being would appear in such shape and form, with only different beings; they'd be more solid and have stronger laws in them.
However, despite containing laws, they can't be extracted or comprehended by others because the rules of the universe won't allow this. If that were possible, then comprehending the laws wouldn't be so problematic, and legendary kings could slaughter every legendary rank for their own people, especially those legendary beings with superior laws.
Nonetheless, Soul Totems were excellent materials for refining law treasures, and with some secret methods, even the bloodline of a common rank being can be evaluated and evolved significantly.
But to do all this, one needed to make sure no remnant soul of the dead legendary being had been hiding in the soul totem, or there was a chance for it to make an unexpected comeback.
However, the soul totem in Jacob's hand didn't have any raiment soul at all despite this Necrofiend having vitality and a soul totem. It was as if the Necrofiends were just puppets, and their souls had been long wiped out by something or someone.
That was Jacob's conclusion. He also didn't make any progress with his hex core, which made Jacob think more deeply about how his hex core evolved.
Jacob reached the conclusion that since he needed to personally kill a dark being in a certain range to let the Cursed Path Glory Gem take their dead flames, he suspected that the dead flames were the souls of dark beings. Since this Necrofiend does not possess a dead flame, they are entirely useless no matter how many he killed.
Still, the soul totems were helpful to Jacob. Still, after examining this Fable Legendary rank soul totem and asking the Copilot, he found that this soul totem could only keep the shuttle active for an hour, and this was only if it was used for flight!
Jacob was astounded, but when he considered the potency of soul force between the legendary king and the fable legendary, it made sense because the difference was like gold and dirt!
Nonetheless, Jacob knew that these soul totems were excellent materials for crafting, so he kept them. But he no longer had any intention to hunt these fable legendary Necrofiends anymore. He decided to only move against those Wraith Lords who were at least Legendary Lord rank since only their soul totems can last a while as fuel.
Furthermore, Jacob first needs to find Autarch and Elia before he starts 'gathering' soul totems.
Without any further distractions, Jacob moves the shuttle deeper into the wailing peaks while The observes the ghostly terrains from the map.
However, Jacob's eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment because he hadn't gone too far from the watchtowers when he saw countless Necrofiends in armor standing like statues all over the wailing peaks-it was an army!
Now Jacob was sure that something had happened to the valley to make it change so much or that this had always been the same. It's just that since no one had ever come back from this place alive, no one knew about this terrifying, hidden army of the valley.
At the same time, Jacob was confused about how Elia was able to bypass this terrifying enemy, and he increased the shuttle speed again because he suddenly felt something was not right.
As Jacob went deeper into the Wailing Peaks, he found that the fog was becoming darker and thicker, yet Autarch and Elia were still far away.
After increasing the speed once again and almost exhausting his soul force, Jacob finally saw something shocking through the map.
It was a massive city made with onyx stone and black bones straight from someone's darkest nightmares. Furthermore, the entire city was surrounded by the undead army, and this wasn't just an army made of those Necrofiends, but the weakest among them was a Tier-1 Legendary Noble. In contrast, the closest undead to the city were peak Legendary Lords, and there were at least ten of them!
'Could this be the Necropolis of Shades?' Jacob instantly made a guess and knew it was probably right since only this nightmarish place could be worthy of being the legendary Necropolis of Shades!
Furthermore, Jacob's expression became more grave because now he could clearly sense Autarch and Elia's aura coming from within the Necropolis of Shades, and he knew something terrible had happened to them!
Jacob's soul force was almost run out, but he didn't stop as he headed towards the city since landing among that terrifying army was nothing but courting trouble. Even Jacob, as a Quasi- Myth, didn't dare to be so reckless.
As the shuttle approached the Necropolis of Shades, its towering spires adorned with skeletal statues and its gates were sealed shut instantly drew his attention because right below those gates, Jacob instantly saw two 150 hundred meters of skeletal wyverns with purplish flame eyes that burned like embers!
Jacob muttered with a gloomy look in his eyes with a hint of power, "Legendary King Rank Wyverns, which means they are fully matured, yet they were used as guard dogs? This Cursed Necromancer King is not simple!"
At this moment, the Copilot's static voice rang, "Warning! The area ahead has an advanced legendary king rank space blocking formation and is locked with a legendary king rank formation barrier! Please give instructions!"
