Chapter 897: Revisiting Carl

After entering the storage space, Xu Yang immediately unleashed the incredibly radiant Angelic Law of Light, furiously purifying all hidden fixed-pattern traps in the vicinity.

Effortlessly, he cleared away all hidden dangers in the surroundings, including the three mechanical dogs on the periphery.

After the Law of Light's pervasive glow shattered the fixed-pattern energy they carried, they all collapsed to the ground, unable to make any further movements.

Soon after, Yunxiao and the Big Dog, along with two Holy Child dolls, arrived successively, meeting Xu Yang at the entrance.

Without hesitation, the two Holy Children immediately used special fixed-pattern laws to open the storage warehouse unique to the Yuntong Restricted Area.

To their astonishment, the various war machine research results stored in the warehouse greatly surprised Xu Yang and the other three.

"My goodness, are these all the research achievements of Ancestral Witch Yuntong over tens of thousands of years? Boss, there are thousands of war machines here! This time, we've really hit the jackpot!"

Xu Yang glanced at Goddess Lindon and the others, gently shaking his head.

"It's too early to rejoice. If we can't find the runes to activate these war machines, merely acquiring them means we only have their shells. We won't be able to infuse them with the energy to drive them. The core key, if my judgment is correct, should be hidden within the altars."

The two Holy Children nodded: "Your Excellency truly has divine foresight. What truly resides within the altars is the core power of the entire Five Restricted Areas, including some top-tier cultivation methods and curses. This place merely holds Ancestral Witch Yuntong's private collection. Compared to the true power within the altar spaces of the Five Restricted Areas, there's still a significant gap. However, the Ancestral Witch altars are guarded by four Ancestral Witches, each with a fixed-pattern existence that can be described as heaven-defying, making them impossible for ordinary people to approach."

Xu Yang scoffed, "I've never feared the existence of powerful enemies. Often, only by confronting sufficiently strong opponents can one continuously improve. If we can find a way to activate these war machines ourselves, then we'll be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort within these Five Restricted Areas."

Goddess Lindon, looking puzzled, scratched her head. "Boss, do you mean we should capture a master and have him help us establish fixed patterns?"

"No, the Ancestral Witches are the masters of the Five Restricted Areas. How could they help us destroy the very foundation of their existence? But don't forget, there's one exception."

The Big Dog quietly uttered a name: "The Necromancer! Considering the time, he should be somewhere in the Five Restricted Areas right now. As long as we can find him, we might be able to use him; that guy will definitely surrender! With Boss A-Yang here, no matter how many tricks that guy has, he'll never easily contend with our control."

Xu Yang smiled. "You know me well, Big Dog. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

"Little ones, do you know how to find the Necromancer?"

The little Holy Child shook his head helplessly. "That guy isn't from the Five Restricted Areas. However, recently, due to his unique talents, he's been highly favored by the hosts. As far as we know, he's in close contact with Ancestral Witch Wu of the Storm Restricted Area, the most remote of the Five Restricted Areas. Perhaps you can find their whereabouts in the Storm Restricted Area."

The Necromancer's ability to weave fixed patterns is very powerful, even surpassing Ancestral Witch Yuntong, the first inventor in the Five Restricted Areas. Seeking his help would indeed be a wise move.

A moment later, Xu Yang left one of the Holy Children with Big Dog and the other two, instructing the three of them to stay in this Yuntong storage space and await his return. He, meanwhile, took the other Holy Child and headed straight for the Storm Restricted Area.

Little did they know that at this very moment, above the Storm Restricted Area, the Necromancer and Ancestral Witch of the Storm were jointly developing a brand new curse power.

Clouds swirled in the sky, and dense black mist enveloped everything, exerting immense spiritual pressure on those nearby.

This mental curse was incredibly terrifying. It could plunge life forms whose souls were invaded into various illusions, condemning them to a life of perpetual painful nightmares. Only when their lives reached their end could they find release.

It was an extremely fierce and tyrannical terrifying curse, originating from the black tome in the Necromancer's hand.

*Crack!*

Countless black lightning bolts suddenly descended, striking squarely upon thousands of purple-flame undead creatures below.

Undoubtedly, these undead had become experimental subjects for the Necromancer and Ancestral Witch of the Storm.

All the purple-flame undead struck by the black lightning emitted pained roars, desperately scattering in all directions.

"Hahaha, it worked! We really did it, Ancestral Witch of the Storm!"

Following the three great curses, this fourth successfully experimented curse would also be deployed to the Eastern Region battlefield as quickly as possible.

"With this trump card, thousands of people in the Eastern Region will suffer complete soul collapse and surrender to us in the shortest time! This time, I want to see what methods that conceited A-Yang will use to turn the tide."

The sneer on the Necromancer's face grew darker. However, she hadn't realized that at the very moment she spoke, Xu Yang's perfect silhouette had already appeared behind her.

"It seems you've missed me. Are you already eager to test your new research on me?"

The Necromancer, Karl, instinctively shivered. He truly hadn't expected Xu Yang to enter the Five Restricted Areas so quickly and find him directly.

"Honestly, I hadn't intended for this game's pace to accelerate so rapidly. It was your forced intervention of the Five Restricted Areas' power into the battlefield that disrupted my original plans. Therefore, I can only demand an explanation from you."

The Necromancer was extremely wary of Xu Yang's terrifying strength. Instinctively, he put a relatively safe distance between them, coldly staring at the man before him.

"You're not thinking of attacking me within the Five Restricted Areas, are you? That would be pure fantasy!"

Xu Yang roared defiantly, "You're absolutely right! Not only will I personally suppress you here, but I'll also do it right in front of these Ancestral Witches whom you consider saviors. I'd like to see who can stop A-Yang from conquering whomever I wish!"

The Ancestral Witch of the Storm, who had been coldly observing their conversation, scoffed. Without hesitation, she unleashed a powerful wind-attribute attack towards Xu Yang's back.

Xu Yang didn't even turn his head, merely waved his hand behind him.

In an instant, an incredibly powerful force erupted, completely shattering the wind-attribute power unleashed by the Ancestral Witch of the Storm.

The entire process was so effortless, utterly stunning the Ancestral Witch of the Storm behind him.

"Damn it, who are you? Your power runs incredibly deep!"

"I am here to conquer you! The Five Restricted Areas should never have joined the conflict in the Eastern Region. My arrival will forcibly change the future destiny of your Five Restricted Areas. All Ancestral Witch-level powerhouses will fall, and the unique achievements you've cultivated over tens of thousands of years will be permanently stripped of their usage rights. All powers related to curses will be completely eradicated from Yingzhou Continent."

Xu Yang's demeanor as he spoke provoked strong dissatisfaction from both the Necromancer and the Ancestral Witch of the Storm. "Who do you think you are to decide everything?"
