Chapter 548: Chapter 531: Within the Bone
He Pengfei led Zhou Leng into a teleportation gate.
A colossal divine bone filled the world before them.
Zhou Leng looked up, the divine bone towering a thousand ters high, with a diater of several hundred ters.
The surface of the bone was as jade-like, smooth as new, and could faintly see a golden light flowing within.
"This is the divine bone, the core of Celestial Bone City, the leg bone of a giant divine spirit."
He Pengfei spoke as he walked.
"What specific divine position this giant divine spirit held is not clear, but it’s beyond a Void God, at least a True God."
"Look over there..."
Zhou Leng looked ahead and saw at the junction of the divine bone and the ground, the earth constantly writhing.
It was as if an invisible wind was blowing over the desert, the sand slowly flowing.
The power of the divine bone was too strong, causing the ground to constantly tremble.
At one corner of the divine bone, a large gate appeared, constructed of black tal with starlight glimrs, embedded with nurous gems.
Among them was a Star Conch.
Zhou Leng said, "There’s also a high-energy shell here, what’s its specific use?"
He Pengfei said, "I have no idea what it’s used for, or how to use it. At least only those adults are qualified to know."
"Void God?"
"Void God."
He Pengfei led Zhou Leng along the trembling, flowing ground to the front of the gate.
As he approached, Zhou Leng felt sothing deep within his heart awaken, sothing calling him from the depths of the divine bone.
Rough, savage, heroic, like the song of giants roaring across the wilderness.
"I can only bring you this far."
"The process is simple, walk to the end, sit and cultivate, and naturally, the power of the divine bone will enter."
"You are different from us, you can probably absorb several tis the power we can."
"However, don’t be too greedy. If you absorb too much, and other parts of your body petrify, you won’t be able to leave here forever."
"The entire process might take several days, so be prepared."
Zhou Leng thanked He Pengfei and entered inside.
The Great Battlefield, Ancient Beast Stone Wall.
On the mountain walls, carvings of strange beasts adorned.
Beneath the stone wall, various tribes contemplated.
Many enhanced their aura through contemplation of the Ancient Beast Stone Wall.
The first trial of the Ancient Beast Stone Wall had ended.
Those who passed the trial had already entered the second layer, while everyone present, having failed the trial, remained to continue contemplating.
Once contemplation concluded, mbers of each tribe stood and returned to their camps.
In the Human Race camp, people from various countries gathered outside Zhao He’s tent.
Zhao He sat on a grand armchair, with so martial artists standing behind him, while most others stood in a semicircle in front.
Zhou Leng smiled and said, "I’ve finished my words and given you enough ti. To be fair, except for , no one else can offer such conditions. Without my help, once the trial ends, you’ll beco prey for everyone."
"I don’t care what your past identities were."
"Whether you’re from the Martial Mansion, non-Dragon Country, Demon Worship Sect, or even Huang ng Sect or the Hell Knight Order, it doesn’t matter."
"What matters is that everyone here must be under control."
"I won’t allow anyone to create unexpected events that disrupt this Great Battlefield."
"You know very well that only I, Zhao He, can ensure your safe exit from the Great Battlefield."
With that, Zhao He raised the demon contract in his hand, a yellow parchnt scroll from which a lifelike demon’s head, composed of smoke, erged, with its scarlet eyes scanning the crowd.
"Drip blood to sign, and we’ll be comrades. Once the Great Battlefield ends, the contract naturally dissolves. Outside, even if you point your swords at , it bears no relevance to this mont."
"But for now, this is your only choice, your only path to survival."
"So, who will begin?"
"I am willing to join Zhao He’s command!" A martial artist from the South Seas, exuding demonic energy, stepped forward quickly, slit his finger, dripped blood, and signed his na.
"I am also willing."
One Great Innate after another stepped forward, dripping blood to sign.
Out of over seventy people, more than forty chose to join.
Zhao He looked at the twenty-plus who remained motionless, smiling, "I said I would give you plenty of ti; tomorrow is the final deadline."
Zhao He checked his watch and said, "Tomorrow at Dragon Country’s noon, 12:00, we’ll et again."
The crowd dispersed.
Rao Mingxian approached, whispering, "Second Young Master, the Huang ng Sect might take action tonight."
"Hmm," Zhao He showed indifference.
Rao Mingxian glanced back at the Ancient Beast Stone Wall and sighed, "Our luck is really bad, appearing at the Ancient Beast Stone Wall. If it were a human divine spirit’s trial, perhaps it would be better. As it is, most of the fierce beasts that arrived passed the trial, and those few Eight-Toothed Mammoths are truly strong, their re presence leaving
breathless."
Zhao He, his interest waning, said, "If it were a battle-type trial, I fear no opponents. But an insight-type trial is too much about luck. If it’s suitable, one can complete the insight; if not, it doesn’t work. How about you?"
Rao Mingxian smiled wryly, "You’re aware of my aptitude. If not for the Ancient River Sect Technique boosting , I wouldn’t comprehend anything from the Ancient Beast Stone Wall. But, at least I gained insight into two ancient beast illustrations, so I’m not at the bottom."
Zhao He said, "I gained insight into five, but the pass mark is seven."
"You can do it. Though insight ca late, unable to enter the second trial layer, the more you comprehend, the stronger you beco. Perhaps you’ll glean the never-before-received Fierce Beast Power Marvelous Body," Rao Mingxian said.
Zhao He, however, looked into the distance and said, "That Zhang Xiaoxiao, was she involved in the Huang ng Sect’s massacre of Rucheng last ti?"
Rao Mingxian bowed his head and said, "Yes, my family... was killed by her."
"Why don’t you make a move?" Zhao He asked.
Rao Mingxian said bitterly, "I can’t beat her, moreover, she seems to have a Headless God, although not completely fused."
Zhao He trembled at the ntion of the Headless God and said, "Could it be the sa Headless God that Zhao Tong wants?"
"It’s unlikely. Huang ng Sect wouldn’t part with such a high-level Headless God for a little girl."
Zhao He frowned slightly and said, "How could a Fierce Beast be connected to her? That Black-armored Giant Wolf seems quite fond of Zhang Xiaoxiao."
"I’m puzzled too. Maybe soone from Huang ng Sect entered the Fierce Beast world and interacted with that Black-armored Giant Wolf."
Zhao He sighed, "What a sha, we couldn’t enter the second trial, but a little girl from Huang ng Sect got the help of Fierce Beasts and succeeded. Her level surely can’t pass the second trial, but she will definitely grow rapidly. Together with the Headless God, she could rival a top-level Great Innate."
"Indeed, which is why we should strike first and solve the problem with Huang ng Sect," Rao Mingxian said.
Zhao He sighed, "Do you think I haven’t thought about it before? Look at the attitudes of martial artists from various countries; except for the Demon Worship Sect, almost all martial artists are intentionally or unintentionally aligning with the Hell Knight Order or Huang ng Sect."
"Then we should make a move after 12 noon tomorrow, justifiably," Rao Mingxian suggested.
Zhao He chuckled and said, "No need to wait for tomorrow; they will co tonight."
"By then, they will understand your power," Rao Mingxian added.
Zhao He smiled slightly, and behind him appeared two segnts of jade-like giant remains, one being the giant’s chest and the other its abdon.
Connected together, they stood nearly six or seven ters tall.
They emitted thread-like glows that flowed into Zhao He’s body.
"Ten years ago, I obtained the first piece of the Headless God’s giant remains, and five years ago, the second piece. After these years of refinent, they have fused to perfection. Today, my Headless God will illuminate a part of the Great Battlefield."
"The Second Young Master will surely secure the Great Battlefield today and lay the foundation for future ascension. The entire Rao Family swears to follow to the death!" Rao Mingxian echoed passionately, unable to hide his excitent.
Zhao He stood up and coldly gazed at the martial artists who hadn’t signed the contract, his expression indifferent.
"Tonight, I will kill them one by one."
"Tomorrow afternoon, let’s visit the Perfect Garden together to witness the White Lake descending and the blooming of ten thousand lotuses."
"As you command." Rao Mingxian bowed, his eyes flickering with complex emotions, fear, reluctance, regret, and helplessness.
"If I obtain the White Lake Mother Fruit, I will reward you with a White Lake Lotus Fruit." Zhao He patted Rao Mingxian on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Second Young Master." Rao Mingxian’s face lit up with joy, but his throat convulsed, and his jaw trembled, as if dry retching.
Tujun Star Monunt.
This place was empty.
Either they’ve entered the second trial or failed and left.
A young giant approached, gently stroking the Star Monunt with his hand.
It was like caressing a baby’s small hand.
The Celestial Calamity Envoy looked up at the Tujun Star Monunt.
"At least twenty percent of the martial insights on this were derived from our joint efforts."
"So many years have passed..."
"Your successor..."
The Celestial Calamity Envoy hesitated for a mont and walked to the back of the Star Monunt.
The teleportation gate to the second trial had already closed.
After a long while, the Celestial Calamity Envoy said, "When the Divine Spirit wishes to et, they will."
His eyes dimd, and his face turned slightly ashen.
He returned to the front of the Tujun Star Monunt, stood silently, and fell into a long recollection.
After a long while, he finally got up and walked into the distance.
"Let
test our mutual successor. If a martial artist can truly inherit your legacy, I will leave a hope for Blue Star."
"But, there seem to be too few Demons along the way..."
Inside the Remnant Celestial Bone.
Zhou Leng sat down to ditate.
At first, everything was normal, feeling the intense and vast power pouring into his bones, thickening and enlarging the sedinted bones gradually.
But as the power surged faster and faster, Zhou Leng suddenly realized as if his soul had left his body and arrived on a vast wasteland.
His consciousness was attached to a giant creature, and as the giant creature ran, he too was running.
He was clearly trapped inside the giant creature’s body, yet he could not see what the creature looked like.
Everything around was transparent, only the wasteland could be seen outside.
Thud... thud... thud...
The giant creature ran across the ground, like drumming.
Its speed exceeded his understanding, stepping out, covering hundreds of kiloters.
The speed was so extre, hundreds of kiloters would flash by in an instant, initially impossible to adapt to.
Gradually, Zhou Leng adapted to the sensation.
High-speed running, high-speed transformation.
His ability to capture high-speed dynamic images underwent qualitative change.
Furthermore, he gradually sensed the operation of power throughout this giant creature.
Based on this power operation, he slowly sketched the general shape of the giant in his mind.
A giant human figure.
Its legs alone reached over a thousand ters in height.
Zhou Leng suddenly realized.
He had entered the consciousness residing within the Remnant Celestial Bone’s original form.
