"The Moon Deities represent the most holy, the Demon Emperor represents the most evil, and the Shura represents the most evil. The blood of the Moon Deities, the soul of the Demon Emperor, and the tear of the Shura respectively contain the most holy, most evil, and most evil powers. Legend has it that if these three powers are gathered in the Lunar Scourge, it can create a heaven-defying power that can change the order of cause and effect, and revive the dead. However, bringing the dead back to life is undoubtedly the most heaven-defying thing in the world. The possibility of something that goes against the most basic order of the natural world exists is very small. As such, this legend is only a legend, and has never been realized. It is also possible that it is just a legend made up by some bored people. As such, little master should just listen to it. "
"Furthermore, even if this legend is true, each of the elements needed to accomplish this are harder than ascending to the heavens. The blood of the Moon Deities. With how powerful the Moon Deities are, who in the world has the ability to obtain the blood of the Moon Deities? The soul of the Demon Emperor. Even the Moon Deities fear the Demon Emperor, not to mention that the Demon Emperor died 10,000 years ago. The tear of the Shura … compared to the Moon Deities and the Demon Emperor, the Shura is the rarest creature in history, and once it appears, it will be punished by the heavens. Who can obtain the tear of the Shura? The reason I told master about this impossible legend is because the fourth element is in little master's hands … However, the current Lunar Scourge still can't do it, because what it needs is a Lunar Scourge with at least 12 God Orbs. "
Compared to the first method, which sounded impossible to anyone, the second method was even more unrealistic, like a story in myths and legends. Anyone who heard about bringing the dead back to life would just take it as a joke. Only a mentally ill person would think that such a thing could happen. After listening to Qi Yue's explanation, Ling Chen was stunned. After a while, he asked, "How long can Xi Ling last?"
Qi Yue thought for a while, then said, "If it stays in the Pet Dimension and doesn't come out, it can stay undead for about 2 months. If they are summoned, they can only live for three days at most. "
"Two months …" This answer exceeded Ling Chen's expectations. After all, an ultimate being like Xi Ling wouldn't die so easily even if her life force was about to be exhausted.
"Alright!" Ling Chen said in a low voice. He had already made an unwavering decision in his heart. "Then, as long as we can find the Vermillion Bird within two months, there will be hope!"
"… Don't you understand how small that possibility is, Little Master?" Ling Chen's decision sounded particularly ridiculous. Finding the Vermilion Bird's location within two months … If the Vermilion Bird was so easy to find, it wouldn't be called the Vermilion Bird. As a Fire Attribute Paragon, the place where it existed was inevitably the limit of fire. Other living beings simply didn't have the ability to step in or approach it. Thus, this first step was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens. And even if he could find her, asking the Vermillion Bird to sacrifice its own existence in order to save Xi Ling … no matter how you looked at it, this decision was borderline stupid.
"I know." Ling Chen replied very calmly. "But … Xi Ling … for me, twice … twice in a row, she risked her life! Then, in order to save her, I will also try anything that is impossible! Since the Vermillion Bird can save her, then I will find the Vermillion Bird within two months! Qi Yue, you will help me, right? With your knowledge and experience, you must know where the Vermillion Bird lives! "
Qi Yue fell silent.
She had been with Ling Chen for quite some time now and she had a general understanding of his personality. He often made decisions and actions that normal people wouldn't make. Once he had made a decision, he would never change it. She didn't try to persuade Ling Chen to give up, nor could she persuade him. She could only use her soft voice to say, "You are my Little Master, I am completely yours. I will tell Little Master everything I know. Then, when are we going to find the Vermillion Bird?"
"Not now." He had made an almost crazy decision, but this didn't mean that he would recklessly search for the Vermillion Bird like a headless fly. As the supreme fire attribute of the Mystic Moon Continent, a single spark from the Vermillion Bird could kill him hundreds of times over. In order to find the Vermillion Bird, he had to quickly increase his own strength in the shortest time possible. Ling Chen turned around and looked in the direction of the Forest of Bones. His face suddenly became gloomy. "Now, it's time to avenge Xi Ling."
Xi Ling's strength was undeniable. Apart from super strong bosses, she could kill almost anything she saw. If he was brought along by Xi Ling, even if Ling Chen had the body of Heaven's Jealousy, his leveling speed would still be many times faster than others. However, this would also cause Ling Chen to become more and more reliant on it. And now, regardless of whether he could really save Xi Ling, at least he could no longer rely on Xi Ling's strength.
Just like how he would have to face the giant skeleton by himself.
"Little Gray, let's go!"
Picking up Soaring Cloud and the Zephyr Blade, Ling Chen didn't leave the Forest of Bones where he had almost lost Xi Ling. Instead, he returned to the direction of the Eerie Castle.
Not too long after, the Warring Palace Skeleton appeared in his line of sight. It was still within the range of the Eerie Castle. When Ling Chen had escaped, it hadn't chased after him. Obviously, it wouldn't leave the territory it had stayed in for so many years.
"I'll … kill you!!!"
Ling Chen sprinted the entire way. Even though he had seen the Warring Palace Skeleton, he didn't stop for even a second. Instead, he ran straight towards it. The moment he stepped into the Eerie Castle, the Warring Palace Skeleton had already sensed his presence. Raising its giant sword, it took a step forward, closing the distance between it and Ling Chen to within 30 meters. Then, it slashed towards Ling Chen with an "Earth Splitting Slash".
Even with Cloud-treading Colt, Ling Chen wouldn't be able to dodge the Heaven's End grade Earth Splitting Slash. However, the Celestial grade Earth Splitting Slash's effective range had been reduced from 20 meters to 10 meters, which was three times smaller.
Boom!!!
The giant sword fell, causing the ground to tremble. Behind Ling Chen, a large amount of rubble was sent flying. It missed him by a hair, but didn't touch him. Only the trembling of the ground caused him to stumble, but he quickly regained his footing. The distance required to dodge the Celestial grade Earth Splitting Slash was within Ling Chen's range. Although he had dodged it by a hair's breadth, he hadn't been injured in the slightest.
The Warring Palace Skeleton's two attacks were quite long, and in those few seconds, Ling Chen had already reached its feet. Raising Soaring Cloud and the Zephyr Blade, two "Ling Tian Slashes" landed on its feet.
Bang bang!!
-1，-1。
The muffled sound was like hitting a hard rock, the two damage numbers that appeared made Ling Chen wrinkle his eyebrows. Although the Warring Palace Skeleton's grade had been lowered to Celestial grade, Ling Chen was still unable to break through its defense.
"Soul Sacrifice!!"
With the support of Soul Sacrifice, Ling Chen's attack power increased explosively, and he once again sent two "Ling Tian Slashes" towards the Warring Palace Skeleton.
Boom! Boom!
-5040，-5051！
The two sounds were completely different from the previous ones, causing the Warring Palace Skeleton's left foot to be pushed back by a meter. The attack with Soul Sacrifice had completely torn through the Warring Palace Skeleton's defense, and the damage it had dealt allowed Ling Chen to instantly calculate its defense … its sturdy body could block over 1000 basic attacks. In other words, only when his own basic attack power exceeded 1000 would he be able to break through its defense without Soul Sacrifice.
This result also allowed Ling Chen to understand that even though the Warring Palace Skeleton had been lowered to Celestial grade, he still couldn't defeat it … he had Soul Sacrifice, but this giant skeleton had a passive skill that caused Ling Chen to grit his teeth – Resentment Shield. This skill would automatically activate when the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP fell below 50%. At that time, all of the physical damage he dealt would be reflected by 10%. Even if he used [Soul Sacrifice] to reduce its HP to 50%, he would not be able to do anything to the remaining 50%. At that time, normal attacks would not be able to break through its defense. With [Soul Sacrifice] activated, its HP would be reduced to "1", and the reflected damage would instantly kill him.
The Warring Palace Skeleton's gaze once again locked onto him. It raised its giant sword and was about to descend. Ling Chen raised his head, and looked at the direction of the giant sword. At this moment, a black light flashed around his body, and just as he sensed it, his body suddenly became heavy.
"Ding … you have been bound by 'Darkness Lock', for 30 seconds, your movement speed, attack speed, jumping ability and evasion have all been reduced by 30%. Accuracy has no effect."
"Ding … you have been bound by 'Underworld Lock', you cannot use any active skills for 30 seconds."
Not only was there a Warring Palace Skeleton here, there was also a semi-spirit girl!!
Her Darkness Lock and Underworld Lock were silent, and when they were activated, even Ling Chen would not be able to sense them. When the Warring Palace Skeleton's giant sword descended, the speed at which his body was moving, and the giant sword that was getting closer and closer to him allowed him to judge … that in his current state, he would not be able to dodge this attack. Tightly knitting his eyebrows, he raised his right hand.
"Moon Shadow!"
A black light was released, and the image of the giant sword that was about to touch Ling Chen's body was locked in place. Ling Chen put away his weapon, and quickly ran out of the range of the Eerie Castle.
If Xi Ling was here, this Celestial grade Warring Palace Skeleton would only need 3 Crimson Rays to kill it. Its Resentment Shield could reflect physical attacks, but it could not reflect magic attacks. However, he did not have Xi Ling's power by his side, so he had to rely on his own strength to defeat it.
Standing a few hundred meters away from the Eerie Castle, Ling Chen looked at the giant skeleton in front of him. He took out a City Return Scroll, and said in a low voice, "It won't be long, I'll be back. The next time I come here, it will be the day of your death! "
After saying this, he crushed the City Return Scroll, and left the Forest of Bones.
