Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats - Chapter 418: Ethan's Journey as the Dark Overlord

Chapter 418: Ethan’s Journey as the Dark Overlord

Ethan always wanted to enter deeper into the Death Region to gather information regarding the Undead Race.

Although the Life Region was increasing with the increased Lifespan of the Ancient Heartwood Tree, it was not enough.

According to the [Heavenly Spirit Eye], to completely cure the Ancient Heartwood Tree, he needed the Green Corpse Emperor’s Heart.

Ethan strongly believed that the Green Corpse Emperor was the Final Boss that is required to be killed by him to save the Greenheart Realm.

But, it is suicidal to venture deeper into the Death Region when he has only one more Godly Revival Life Card.

Even the Spectral Death Knight that killed him in the past has the strength of a Level 7 Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, and who knows exactly how many such powerful Undead existences are there in the Death Region.

‘Moreover, so far, no Undead Being has actively attacked my Undead Avatar, which means I don’t have to worry about losing my Undead Avatar.’

Even if the Undead Avatar was destroyed, Ethan’s soul would directly return to the Main Body.

Therefore, Ethan was excited about the [Avatar Skill] that lets his soul descend into the Avatar’s body.

‘If my First Avatar: Little Heavenly Farmer had such [Avatar Skill], it would have been great, but it’s alright.’

Since his First Avatar was only a low-level avatar that could not become stronger, it wouldn’t be able to awaken any [Avatar Skill].

‘Return.’

With a thought, Ethan’s soul returned to his main body and started cultivating actively.

According to his daily schedule, he had only taken care of the Undead Army, and there was still an Undead Legion to take care of.

So, Ethan wanted to complete it before exploring the Death Region through his Undead Avatar.

After one hour of cultivation, the Undead Legion arrived, and as usual, Arboris, the Ancient Treant Guardian, quickly took care of the Undead Giant General and the Undead Commanders.

“Dark Overlord,”

As for the remaining 10,000 Undead Warriors, Ethan didn’t destroy them; instead, he asked his Undead Avatar to subdue them.

“Sub….mit.”

After breaking through to the Death Core Realm, his Undead Avatar has gained the ability to speak…of course, it was still not fluent.

As soon as it received Ethan’s order, the Undead Avatar looked at the rushing Undead Warriors and released his aura of Level 8 Death Core Realm.

‘Putong’

In the next second, the same scene that had happened an hour ago repeated.

However, this time, the number of Undead Warriors that acknowledged the Undead Avatar as their master increased by ninefold.

Adding the 1000 Undead Warriors from before, Dark Overlord now commanded an army of 10,000 Undead Warriors.

‘I knew it…it can create its own Undead Legion even before breaking through to the Nether Soul Realm.’

Back when the Undead Avatar was still in the Bone Foundation Realm, it already showed signs of becoming an Undead Commander.

As Ethan expected, after breaking through to the Death Core Realm, it officially formed its own Undead Legion.

‘Swiish’

In the next second, due to the Special Skill [Undead Synchronicity], all 10,000 Undead Warriors under Dark Overlord’s command experienced a sudden surge in cultivation.

That’s right!

Unlike the usual Undead Commander’s skills, Dark Overlord’s [Undead Synchronicity] didn’t just boost strength temporarily—it permanently increased their cultivation.

Th𝗂𝙨 ƈhа̄p𝗍ᥱr 𝗶𝙨 pɵʂ𝓉ꬲđ b𝕪 Ҡı𝖙𝖾𝙣𝕠𝓋ꬲ𝗹

And the amount?

It directly matched Dark Overlord’s own cultivation.

In short, now, all 10,000 Undead Warriors under Dark Overlord’s command have the cultivation of Level 1 Death Core Realm.

Although the Undead Warriors could not get Dark Overlord’s battle prowess of Level 8 Death Core Realm, they could get the same cultivation as Dark Overlord.

With Dark Overlord’s cultivation speed, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the Perfected Death Core Realm and at that time, he would have 10,000 Perfected Death Core Realm Undead Warriors.

‘In the future, when Dark Overlord breaks through to the Nether Soul Realm or a realm beyond that? This skill…is even more broken than I imagined.’

Just thinking about it made Ethan excited.

Unlike the army made up of living beings, it is very easy to keep the Undead Army and they could fight for him without worrying about exhaustion.

[Soul Inheritance Life Card is used]

[The Mandatory Waiting Period in the Soul Realm has been reduced to 29 minutes 30 seconds]

After that, Ethan quickly created the Soul Inheritance Life Card and reduced his Mandatory Waiting Period by only 30 seconds.

‘Looks like the effects of the Soul Inheritance Life Card are reduced after it reaches 30 minutes. But, it’s alright!’

Nevertheless, Ethan was already expecting it, and he was happy that the Life Card is still working…at least reducing 30 seconds.

Hence, he didn’t think much about it and ordered the Ancient Treant Guardian, “Arboris, let’s return.”

Leaving Dark Overlord and his Undead Army outside the Life Region, Ethan returned to the Stronghold.

[Soul Descent]

Once he sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Domain, Ethan used the [Avatar Skill] to descend his soul into the Undead Avatar.

‘It’s time to explore.’

Without wasting any time, Ethan…no…Dark Overlord stood up and gave a silent command.

In the next moment, the ground trembled as 10,000 Undead Warriors marched behind him in perfect formation.

With a single step, he began his journey into the deeper parts of the Death Region.

—Half a day later—

Dark Overlord had already led his Undead Legion nearly 500 kilometers deeper into the Death Region.

The air had turned heavier, thicker…as if every breath pulled in a wave of cold Death Essence.

‘There are more Undead Armies than I thought,’ Ethan silently muttered as he saw another two Undead Armies passing in the distance.

During the 500-kilometer march, he encountered several Undead Armies…most with numbers ranging from a few hundred to a thousand.

A couple of times, he even came across entire Undead Legions.

However, as he expected, none of them attacked; instead, they simply stopped, watched him pass, and continued on their way.

‘They are not hostile…because they believe I am one of them.’

Only the Nether Soul Realm Undead Generals spared him a second glance, whereas the Undead Commanders continued their way like puppets.

As for the Undead Generals leading the Undead Legion, their hollow eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if they had seen something curious.

Because what they saw wasn’t a normal Undead Commander but a being with 10,000 Undead Warriors trailing behind him.

‘It looks like when the Undead Beings reach the Nether Soul Realm, they gain sentience.’

From his observations about the Undead Beings, this was the conclusion that Ethan had come to.

Originally, Ethan wanted to store the 9000 Undead Warriors in the Undead Space; however, after coming to that earlier conclusion, he decided to attract attention.

That’s right!

Ethan was trying to gain the attention of the higher-ups of the Undead Race, and the best method was to show his unique talent, which is to have an Undead Legion even before reaching the Nether Soul Realm.

‘This place…it is perfect to cultivate.’

He paused for a moment and raised his skeletal hand.

Around him, the Death Essence was five times purer than at the boundary between the Life and Death Regions.

[Abyssal Death Essence Refining Technique]

‘Swiish’

In the next second, his bones faintly glowed from absorbing the surrounding energy, and even the Undead Warriors behind him became sturdier, more stable.

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, one hour passed by as Dark Overlord’s cultivation increased to Level 2 Death Core Realm.

Behind him, the cultivation of the 10,000 Undead Warriors also increased.

‘Let’s continue….’

Just as Ethan was about to continue cultivating, trying to increase his Undead Avatar’s cultivation, he noticed an Undead Army was coming in his direction.

“Attack”

The Undead Commander, leading the Undead Army, shouted out loud.

‘Huh? He is attacking me?’

The blue flames in Dark Overlord’s eye sockets flickered as he didn’t expect to get attacked by the Undead Army.

‘Looks like I have no choice but to destroy you.’

Without wasting any time, Ethan activated one of the Special Skills, [Undead Merge]

‘Kacha’

Soon, all the Undead Warriors merged into Dark Overlord’s body and increased his strength to Level 7 Death Core Realm.

[Death Chains]

Following that, Ethan activated another skill to immobilise the Undead Commander before destroying him.

Soon after, the entire Undead Army was taken care of.

‘Thud…thud’

However, in the next second, Ethan heard sounds of marching and saw that an Undead Legion was coming his way.

‘What should I do now? There is no way I can win against the Undead General.’
