Chapter 110 - 109: Evolution, Skeleton General!
Translator: 549690339 |
The night was deep, shrouding the earth, and everything seemed to follow suit, plunging into silence.
The night was actually when monsters were active, the howling and screaming were endless, but the area around Tianyuan Territory was quiet, with occasional monster roars that would be abruptly silenced.
A peace-loving atmosphere.
Dead Bone, leading a group of skeletons and ghosts, did not rest after safely sending them all home. Instead, it headed straight to the place in the cemetery where the undead energy was the strongest.
With a sword in hand, it closed its eyes and meditated.
It was still too weak.
The weakest point was the low level. It clearly had more room to maneuver with skills like Withered Bone Land and Giant Beast of Deathremains, but it didn’t have enough power to perform them.
Dead Bone had been pondering this for a while.
Seeing Duo Lai’s level skyrocket with the help of the Devouring Talent, it had also envied and studied for a period of time. It spent three and a half days studying but to no avail.
After all, it was just a skeleton.
It was one of countless ordinary skeletons, at most, it was just a few steps ahead of other skeletons.
But when it was in the Skeleton Cemetery, enjoying the efficiency of cultivation like flying, a faint light flashed in Dead Bone’s soul flame. It sealed this light and planned to take it out for consideration when the exploration mission ended and it had some downtime.
Energy, Extraction, Circulation.
Environment, Soul Sand, Self.
It slightly understood.
So, Dead Bone, holding two soul crystals, made 64 minor adjustments to the talent ‘Death Extraction’, allowing this talent, which could only draw on death energy during killings, to slightly turn to soul sand, nature energy extraction, and resonate with the surrounding…the extremely thick undead energy and shadow energy in the cemetery.
Hum
The slowly drifting black fog suddenly converged towards General Dead Bone, forming a funnel-shaped whirlpool from top to bottom.
In the center of the whirlpool was the figure of Dead Bone, already shrouded in thick black fog.
This phenomenon lasted for a full two minutes before gradually dissipating.
The black fog continued to drift around, but was noticeably thinner to the naked eye.
‘Ding!’
‘Dead Bone has leveled up to 1st rank level 5-‘
‘Leveled up to 1st rank level 6.’
‘Leveled up to 1st rank level 7.’
Success, albeit a small one!
Even though this method of forcibly taking in elements from the heavens and earth into its body and transforming them into cultivation energy could only be used once after a long interval, its cultivation speed would increase dramatically.
However, seeing the significantly thinned black fog in the Skeleton Cemetery,
Dead Bone felt guilty again.
How could it destroy everyone’s living and cultivation environment for its own cultivation desires?
‘This ability… should be sealed.’
‘No, this ability is worth promoting.1
‘Skeleton Cemetery’
‘Note: Due to special circumstances resulting in energy loss and an inability to self-sustain, please replenish with 1024g of Soul Sand.’
Isn’t it just adding some Soul Sand? No big deal.
‘The stronger you are, the safer the territory will be, it’s all worthwhile.’ ‘Next, I will bestow upon you the miracle of evolution, and I believe you will not let me down.1
Under the night,
The clear moonlight penetrated through the considerably thinned black fog, illuminating the armor-clad young man with a smile on his face.
He stood on a mound, in the quiet darkness, with the moonlight glowing behind him, shining for tens of thousands of feet.
The light of guidance!
The light of trust!
The light of baptism!
With such a lord, what more could the bones ask for!
Compared to what the lord had gifted him, he was still far behind, even the quick cultivation method he developed had so many flaws.
For the lord, he will go all out!
Mu Yuan had no idea that this big-eyed fellow, Dead Bone, had undergone so many trials. All he did was attended the ceremony only to find General Dead Bone rapidly leveling up.
Such a worthy emperor!
For such talented leaders with an imperial demeanor, even the most wasteful lords would never put on a straight face. Of course, it’s better to give them more praises.
‘625 Evolution Points have been deducted.’
In his field of vision, a certain light ball that had stored a large amount of ‘water’ was suddenly emptied, becoming a bit dim.
The next moment,
The light of miracle power enveloped Dead Bone.
Pure white light radiated into the night sky, stirring the black fog, piercing the deep night, reflecting bright moonlight hanging in the far distance.
in the white light, the figure of General Dead Bone did not undergo significant changes, but the light of evolution still enveloped him and lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually fading away.
‘Ding!’
‘Notice: Your hero ‘Dead Bone’ has received the baptism of miraculous power, his rank has been promoted, and he is now ‘Skeleton General (Excellent ★ **)?’ ‘Notice: Your hero ‘Dead Bone1 has awakened the talent ‘Heart of Darkness.’ This talent greatly enhances the affinity of the target for dark elements and amplifies the energy power of such skills.’
Under the silver moonlight, Dead Bone stood in the Skeleton Cemetery with black fog that had just dissipated slowly gathering around him again, like numerous soldiers bowing their heads.
It was like a dreadful existence slowly awakening from the abyss.
The storm that spread invisibly made little skeletons and skeleton soldiers crawl out of their graves in the distance and kneel toward it.
Skeleton General-Dead Bone!
Just from the oppressive aura, Mu Yuan could tell that Dead Bone had become much stronger after the evolution, his strength, energy, and other basic attributes had risen by at least 30%. If he leveraged his increasing abilities with high-level skills, the improvement would be far more than thirty points!
The new talent had two functions, affinity improvement, and energy amplification. The latter once again significantly enhanced the combat power of General Dead Bone, and the former…
“The former is the core of this talent. Dead Bone has transformed from a cultivator with ‘average foundation’ to ‘top-tier foundation’ in an instant. No matter it’s cultivation, practicing skills, or fighting, everything will be much easier.”
“It will be of great help to the future breakthrough to the leader level, or even above the leader level to the legendary realm.”
“Of course, the effect of this talent is mainly reflected in the future. It requires a long time and effort to realize, and it plays an auxiliary role. As for the direct enhancement, it might not be as obvious as the ’Death Extraction.
No, with the, gifted potential of Emperor Dead Bone, there’s no need to spend a long time realizing his potential.
Perhaps in half a month or a month, the talent ‘Heart of Darkness’ would shine brilliantly in the hands of Dead Bone.
Just as he thought this,
‘Ding-‘
A familiar, pleasant, and similar reminder sound echoed again in his ears.
Lord Shepherd shuddered.
As expected, black fog rushed toward Dead Bone again, as if something were about to happen. The undead energy was activated.
‘Notice: Dead Bone has upgraded the skill ‘Cleave’ to ‘Shadow Slash.
■Notice: Dead Bone has upgraded the ‘Charge’ skill to ‘Shadow Accumulation.” ‘Notice: Dead Bone, with the ‘Heart of Darkness,’ has learned the techniques ‘Curse: Slowdown1, ’Curse: Weakness’, ‘Curse: Ebbing’, ‘Curse: Weak Armor.’ Dead Bone, who was in a state of meditation with his eyes closed and in some mysterious state, floated slowly with the support of invisible energy.
The black fog surrounded him, and the undead energy unconsciously spread around, dragging out a long shadow under the moonlight.
It was like a pair of massive wings suddenly unfolding in the dark.
Blocking the bright moon, casting the world into darkness.
At this moment, Dead Bone lit up his eyes, as brilliant as stars roaring in the darkness. He was like the ruler of the night, stepping out of the void..
