Chapter 313 Immortal Souls Completed
But that wasn't all! A fierce glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, and his internal energy circulation completed its recovery at an abnormally fast speed. He then thrust out his palms once more!
The second [Shinra Tensei]! It erupted again with almost no cooldown!
boom!!!
Kel'Thuzad, who had just been sent flying backward, was caught up by a second, even stronger repulsive force before he could adjust his posture and was slammed hard into a pale, white hill made of bones behind him!
Snap! Boom!
The mountain of bones was mostly destroyed by the impact! The lich was trapped inside, his soul fire dimmed, his robes torn, and he was in a sorry state.
Immediately following, came the third [Shinra Tensei]!
Lin Tian seemed to transform into a repulsive force turret, maximizing the potential of this S-rank skill. With the terrifying mana recovery and the consumption reduction of [All Laws Return to Flow], he achieved continuous firing without cooldown for a short period of time!
A third devastating repulsive storm swept through, completely leveling the collapsed mountain of bones and submerging Kel'Thuzad, who was trapped within it!
When the smoke and dust (bone meal) dissipated, only a huge impact crater remained.
At the bottom of the pit lay the lich's mangled body. His staff was broken in two, his human skin book was charred and tattered, his skull was riddled with cracks, and the icy blue flames in his eye sockets were as faint as candles flickering in the wind, almost extinguished.
[You have slain the Immortal Lich Kel'Thuzad (Lv.60 Lord)!]
Experience points gained: ......

[Materials obtained: 8 Rotten Lich Bones (Rank A), 12 Broken Soul Crystals (Rank A), 3 Fragments of the Book of the Dead (Rank S)...]
[Quest Item Obtained: Immortal Soul (1/1)]
The system prompted that the page had been refreshed.
A fist-sized, ethereal or illusory orb of light, constantly shifting between gray and ice-blue hues, with countless tiny soul faces seemingly flowing within it, slowly rose from the lich's remains, emanating an eerie yet powerful aura of "immortality."
Lin Tian reached out and the "Immortal Soul" fell into his hand. It felt cold to the touch, yet it was unusually stable.
【Immortal Soul (S-Rank Special Item)】: Contains a trace of the immortal law, and is one of the key materials for the advancement of certain supreme beings.
Quest item "Immortal Soul" collection progress (1/1).
The second material has arrived.
Lin Tian put it away and looked around.
With the lich's death, the surrounding mist of death seemed to thin out somewhat, but it did not completely dissipate, and the secret realm still existed.
The low-ranking undead lost unified command and became confused, wandering aimlessly.
"Let's go." Lin Tian didn't linger and activated the teleportation beacon.
Amidst the spatial fluctuations, his and Celia's figures vanished from this land of the dead.
......
Star Moon City, fourth floor of the Refining Guild.
When Lin Tian placed the "Immortal Soul" in front of Sima Han, the old man was already somewhat numb.
He carefully examined the peculiar source of soul energy, and after confirming its authenticity, he let out a long breath.
"The Necropolis... You're here so fast too... Is Kel'Thuzad really dead?" His voice was filled with disbelief.
"Hmm." Lin Tian nodded. "A clue to the 'Fragments of Laws'?"
Sima Han rubbed his temples, feeling that the common sense and worldview he had accumulated over the decades were being repeatedly crushed and reshaped by the young man in front of him.
He walked to the other side of the bookshelf and pulled out a scroll made of some kind of thin metal sheet.
"Fragments of laws...this involves something on a higher level."
Sima Han unfurled a metal scroll, on which a fierce battlefield scene was etched with energy, with various turbulent energy flows intertwined.
"It is not a natural mineral or biological core, but a crystal formed over a long period of time by the sedimentation and condensation of the power of laws in a region where some powerful beings fought or where the rules collided violently."
"The Ancient Battlefield Ruins, located about 1,200 miles northwest of Star Moon City, was once the site of a great war between gods and demons in ancient times."
Although the main battlefield is not here, the remaining chaotic laws are intense enough.
There, some energy creatures known as "Law Guardians" roam. They have no intelligence and are merely manifestations of the chaos of the laws. Defeating them has a chance to yield "Law Fragments".
However, the probability is very low, and a sufficient quantity needs to be cleared to trigger the sedimentation of purer laws deep within the battlefield, condensing into high-purity fragments.
Sima Han pointed to several marked points on the scroll:
"These are areas where the Law Guardians frequently appear. You need to kill enough Law Guardians, and when the 'Battlefield Soul' deep within the battlefield is disturbed, defeat it to have a chance to obtain a sufficient number of high-purity Law Fragments at once."
According to records, at least five pieces are required to meet the requirements for higher-level job advancement.
"Battlefield Spirit? What level?"
"Estimated level 60, Lord template. But it can mobilize some of the remaining battlefield law power, making it very difficult to deal with."
"Moreover, there are quite a few law guardians, and clearing them out will take a lot of time," Sima Han reminded him.
"Understood. Coordinates." Lin Tian was as direct as ever.
Sima Han handed the coordinates to Lin Tian, watching his retreating figure turn and leave without hesitation. He opened his mouth, but in the end, it only turned into a sigh and a muttered to himself:
"The ancient battlefield... the turbulent currents of laws there greatly interfere with spellcasters... oh well, it probably won't matter much to him..."
He looked at the "Immortal Soul" on the table, then at the two pieces of Abyssal Demon Iron beside it, a hint of anticipation and solemnity flashing in his eyes.
"These materials... perhaps I really might witness the birth of a legend?"
......
Lin Tian returned to his residence, rested briefly, and then confirmed his next target.
Ancient battlefield ruins, fragments of laws.
Without stopping, we set off again.
......
The ancient battlefield ruins stretch as far as the eye can see, an endless wasteland with bizarre colors.
The earth was not soil, but rather possessed a vitrified texture, with colors ranging from scorched black and dark red to deathly white and eerie blue...
Various colors are mixed together like splashed ink, yet strangely distinct from one another.
The ground was covered with huge, bottomless cracks, some of which slowly seeped out scorching magma or icy cold air.
Chaotic energy flows drifted through the air, sometimes flashing a bright white lightning bolt, sometimes whipping up a colorful whirlwind, and sometimes appearing without warning in a region of abnormal gravity.
There is almost no life in the conventional sense here, only strange beings formed from the condensation of chaotic laws of energy—the Law Guardians.
