Chapter 2585 Special Area
Undead Sinister Bone.
Belonging to the death realm, this skeletal creature is distinct from those found in the normal world. Its bones exhibit a deep brown color, and its eyes flicker with blue soul flames. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
These are skeletal beings awakened by the powers of the death realm, merging with the shattered wills of their former selves.
Under the prolonged influence of death strength in the death realm, these creatures gradually condensed new wills.
There were once necromancy scholars who summoned Undead Sinister Bones from other worlds, discovering that their attributes surpassed those of normal skeletal creatures by dozens of times, making them highly valuable for research.
The Undead Sinister Bone noticed Fang Heng behind it, slowly turning to face him, the flickering soul flames in its eyes radiating a hint of coldness.
Fang Heng asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
The Undead Sinister Bone remained silent and clearly didn't understand Fang Heng's words. It stared at him for a moment before continuing to move slowly forward.
"Looks like it's a creature that can't communicate," Fang Heng thought helplessly. He transformed back into bat form and flew over the Undead Sinister Bone, accelerating in the direction it was heading.
The further he went, the more Undead Sinister Bones gathered ahead.
After moving forward for more than half an hour, Fang Heng discovered a white bone field ahead.
In the center of this field stood a sinister undead temple.
It was clear that this temple was not naturally formed.
From above, he could see the temple continuously absorbing the powers of the death realm, with Undead Sinister Bones being birthed from the bone ground, gathering with skeletal creatures pouring in from all directions, slowly converging towards a distant point.
"This group of bones..."
Fang Heng pondered, looking up toward the direction where the bones were gathering.
These skeletal creatures seemed to be drawn by some kind of call, heading towards a specific domain.
He decided to investigate further; he might find the one controlling these bones behind the scenes.
In bat form, Fang Heng accelerated toward the gathering of undead bones.
"Huh?"
After flying for another half hour, he suddenly sensed something was off and let out a light gasp.
In his sea of consciousness, the ice crystal left by Empress Persephone was triggered.
[Hint: Due to the player currently having a special mission-Recreating the Glory of Empress Persephone, the player senses fragments of the Empress's will.]
[Hint: During the guidance mission, the player will receive sensing hints within a certain range of the Empress's shattered will.]
Fragments of the Empress's will!
Seeing the game hint, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Good stuff!
Through the ice crystal, Fang Heng could directly absorb and convert it into massive amounts of skill experience points. He had already tried this in Empress Persephone's mausoleum before.
Although the process was challenging and his own will had been significantly drained, the final reward was well worth it—his Death God skill level had risen by one tier, advancing his bloodline to that of the God of the Underworld, bringing him to level 28.
His consciousness had mostly recovered from the damage sustained in recent days.
If he could find a way to absorb more of the Empress's will energy, he estimated that his God of the Underworld bloodline level could increase again!
However...
Absorbing the Empress's will might conflict with his mission objectives.
With that thought, Fang Heng lowered his gaze again.
It seemed that the direction from which he sensed the Empress's shattered will did not align with the gathering of bones.
No matter; his priority was to find the remnants of the Empress's will.
He quickly adjusted his direction and sped toward the source of the Empress's will perception.
Following the sensation, Fang Heng pursued for over an hour.
Eventually, amidst the thick gray fog, a range of mountains gradually emerged before him.
Fang Heng frowned, feeling a heavy pressure settle upon him.
[Hint: The player is affected by an unknown coercion effect; the current form cannot enter this domain by flying.]
[Hint: The player may only perform low-altitude flight.]
Fang Heng shifted back from bat form to human form and returned to the ground, looking up at the mountains not far away.
The remnants of the Empress's will were hidden within those mountains.
There was something peculiar about this range.
What was this unknown coercion he felt?
Indeed, just standing there, he could sense a powerful pressure.
Fang Heng tried to move forward.
"****!"
After taking just two steps, his pupils contracted sharply, and he turned to look to his right.
From the white fog emerged two figures rapidly approaching.
Humans?!
No, upon closer inspection, he realized they were not human.
They resembled humans but were generally taller and more robust, with white spots on their skin.
The most peculiar aspect was a vertical line running down their faces, splitting their features into two halves.
Fang Heng heard them shouting something as they quickly drew closer.
"***!"
Strangely, these beings were able to mask their presence well within the black fog.
It seemed they held no significant hostility, otherwise, they wouldn't be calling out to him but would instead launch a surprise attack using the powers of the undead mist.
Fang Heng couldn't understand what they were saying, nor could he decipher their expressions and gestures.
Before long, they raised their hands, conjuring dark, undead bone spears, their expressions a mix of warning and threat.
"I'm not here to be your enemy," Fang Heng said helplessly, trying to communicate. "I sensed something within the mountains, and I just wanted to take a look inside."
"****!"
The patience of the two beings seemed to have worn thin as they began to wave their undead bone spears, making gestures to drive him away.
"Whoosh!!!"
The spear was hurled toward Fang Heng.
It wasn't very fast.
Fang Heng easily sidestepped it.
"Bang!!!!"
However, the moment the skeletal spear exploded in mid-air, fragments of bone scattered in all directions.
Behind Fang Heng, his lifeblood longsword erupted, forming a blood screen that shielded him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!"
The shards of the exploding bone spear were deflected by the blood screen, blocking each one.
His lifeblood quickly recovered, reforming into the shape of a longsword and returning behind him.
Fang Heng did not pursue; instead, he turned and slowly looked up.
Someone was approaching.
Judging by his perception, this new arrival was stronger.
The figure leaped in front of Fang Heng, gazing at him with icy eyes, "***! ***."
Fang Heng stared back, coldly replying, "I don't know what you're saying."
The person's expression showed clear surprise, then shifted to a language Fang Heng recognized, "Human? How did you get in here?"
Finally, he had found someone he could communicate with.
Fang Heng felt a sigh of relief and took a moment to assess the newcomer, "I used some special means, but I won't go into detail. Who are you?"
"Kotal, of the Dark Clan. My people have guarded this place for generations."
Kotal regarded Fang Heng with a suspicious gaze.
