Chapter 613: Chapter 599: Gold Skeleton
A skeleton stood in front of Chen Feng, its bones not human, but the complete skeletal remains of an Earth Dragon.
Before this beast died, it already possessed Silver Tier strength. If it had lived on, it might have been able to awaken its Giant Dragon bloodline. By then, its sheer size could reach ten meters, with even a possibility to master Dragon Breath.
Yet, in today’s era, there are no absolute strongmen. This Earth Dragon, due to some unknown accident, met its demise. No matter how powerful it was in life, in death, it was buried in the ground, becoming merely a dried skeleton.
Saruman cast Undead Resurgence, summoning it from underground. Even though it was just a skeleton now, its bones remained countless times stronger than ordinary ones, easily killing its companions and devouring souls to achieve the Silver Tier.
At this moment, the Skeleton Dragon stood before Chen Feng, its eyes flickering with a ghostly blue Soul Fire. Even under the blazing sun, a ten-meter radius around the Skeleton Dragon was enveloped in chilling winds, giving off a wintery coldness.
"Boom!"
Chen Feng reached out his hand, and countless mists began to seep from the dimension, instantly pouring into the Skeleton Dragon’s body, as if the skeleton before him had an immense suction force.
In the blink of an eye, the mist-like Power of the Soul surrounded the Skeleton Dragon completely. When the dimension descended, due to lack of oxygen, countless creatures suffocated to death. After their demise, their souls were also consumed by the dimension.
The energy that appeared as smoke was essentially countless souls transformed. At this moment, these souls gathered around, filled with voices of resentment. If an ordinary person were here, they might easily lose themselves in the sound of this resentment and become a true madman!
However, the power of the Skeleton Dragon, surrounded by souls, continued to surge. In an instant, its bones birthed an unimaginably powerful force capable of sweeping across countless creatures!
Amidst this catastrophic aura, the resentments from the souls unleashed terrifying wails. They wanted to escape, but it was futile. In the mere blink of an eye, the speed of absorption increased tenfold. The mist was visibly consumed by the Skeleton Dragon.
"Roar..."
Breaking through the fog, the Skeleton Dragon let out a deafening roar. This roar carried a Soul Attack, enough on a battlefield to make nearby enemies fall into a dazed state.
The Skeleton Dragon was engulfed by a wisp of black smoke, and the Soul Fire in its eye sockets turned golden. At that moment, it stood like a demon sealed for countless years. Just its presence caused people to lose their composure, rendering breathing difficult.
Success!
Chen Feng successfully created a Gold Skeleton!
Compared to Saruman’s previous restraint, this undead creature exuded a world-ending might. Its howl dispersed the clouds in the sky, and from an aerial view, one could see a massive gold pillar above its head!
"The Power of the Soul truly is a treasure. It can instantly elevate a Silver Tier skeleton to Gold. If I have enough Power of the Soul, I won’t need much time to forge my own Golden Legion. By then, once firmly established, no force could ever move it."
Chen Feng personally experienced the marvel of the Power of the Soul. This pure energy was the top-notch supplement for undead creatures!
No wonder even Saruman, upon seeing these energies, couldn’t help but show a trace of excitement, unable to resist the temptation of the Power of the Soul.
"Keep going; let’s create another Gold Skeleton!" Chen Feng’s face was lit with excitement. He attempted to extract more Power of the Soul to create another Gold Skeleton.
But at that moment, despite Chen Feng’s efforts, no more energy was fed back from the fallen dimension, as if it had all run out, leaving nothing to spare.
"Hmm?" Chen Feng frowned, peering into the dimension. He noticed that the concentration of fog had decreased by a third. At this point, it seemed the remaining energy was struggling against the surrounding raging winds, unable to spare any more energy for Chen Feng’s use.
The world within the dimension had been destroyed, much like a body marred by bacteria, with the raging winds as the culprits. But now, the appearance of the Power of the Soul had encircled the purified land, resisting the encroachment of disaster.
Depleting a third was its limit. If too much was extracted, that piece of pure land might be destroyed once more!
Chen Feng withdrew from the rift. It seemed the creation of the Golden Legion had to be postponed. After all, this world needed some energy to protect the pure land.
"It seems that to acquire more Power of the Soul, one needs to continue investing souls. Only this way can the pure land expand, and more Power of the Soul can be stored!" After a period of observation, Chen Feng grasped the secrets of the dimension.
It’s just like an investment.
To obtain the Power of the Soul, one must first let the other party devour more life. However, the Power of the Soul needed by this world is practically a bottomless pit. Surely, the entire Order cannot be sacrificed just for pure energy, right?
Certainly not Order. Ordinary people can provide Chen Feng with the Power of Faith, which is the foundation of his survival.
But...
Humans don’t work, but the Insect Realm is entirely feasible.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes. With a flap of his wings, he descended before the rift.
The Insect Realm has already fused with the gorge gate. At this time, this rift is like a boil embedded in the void. Every once in a while, this boil will rupture, and insects will use this gap to descend into the Human World, attempting to devour the living creatures here, occupy it, and become the masters.
This boil is extremely disgusting. On it, one can vaguely see some silhouettes of insects. On the other side of the world, the hideous insects are covered in a foul stench, with their mandibles stained with a bloody odor.
Insects also slaughter each other.
During hunger, they will devour their companions’ bodies to maintain their bodily functions. Even though they have been repelled twice, this has not instilled fear in the insects. Instead, more and more insects have gathered around this rift.
Stacked densely together, their numbers have long exceeded millions. Chen Feng, using the Demon Horn, inquired about some High-tier Insects. They also have their own forces. If gathered under normal circumstances, they would have already been fighting fiercely. But at this time, these insects did not fight, and as for devouring, it was merely some unranked caterpillars, which were originally food in the Insect Realm and had no force to seek justice for them.
Chen Feng saw clearly that there must be powerful beings manipulating everything behind the scenes.
The Human World was originally a coveted prize, and with the storm’s arrival, the surrounding energy has doubled, leading many powerful beings to plot to descend here and seize this blessed land!
But now, as the rift has not completely collapsed, it undoubtedly provides Chen Feng with an excellent opportunity. While the powerful beings of the Insect Race plot the Human World, Chen Feng sees them as pigs to be slaughtered, harvesting when needed to use their flesh to strengthen his subordinates!
The insects in the Insect Realm are also intelligent creatures, though bloodthirsty and fond of killing. The killing intent on them invades their brains, making them quite chaotic!
But life indicates the presence of a soul, which is exactly the kind of energy a broken plane craves!
Ordinary weapons can’t break through this rift, because there is the Power of Rules constantly repairing it. But Chen Feng possesses a Sub-divine Artifact, making it not impossible to cut open a rift!
Chen Feng raised the Endless Sword and struck the rift fiercely. With a tearing sound, it was as if a pustule was pierced, and countless disgusting insects tumbled and crawled, falling from it to the ground.
Smelling the rich scent of living beings, before Chen Feng could act, the fallen plane trembled as if eager to devour these lives!
This is Chen Feng’s plot!
Both the gorge gate and Order are the most important resources for collecting faith and cannot be sacrificed. But the insects are endless, and killing them not only strengthens the plane but also weakens the opponent, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
The plane has fused with Chen Feng’s faith, granting him the authority to open the opponent’s realm. At this time, with a forceful push, the entire rift fit perfectly onto the crack, just like that island, connecting the surroundings of the Insect Realm and immediately entering an anoxic state!
"Hiss..."
The insects screeched in terror, seemingly frightened by the lack of oxygen. The closer they were to the rift, the more terrifying the speed at which they absorbed oxygen. Around twenty meters or so, it was a vacuum zone, and in an instant, all oxygen vanished without a trace.
Different from when approaching the ocean where the surrounding was filled with the scent of sea waves, the oxygen devoured by the plane at this time was permeated with a pungent bloody smell. Countless insects gathered, and the smell had reached its peak, causing ordinary people to want to vomit out all their bile with just a tiny whiff.
Yet the broken plane didn’t care; it was like a Hungry Ghost, no longer concerned about how food tasted after being starved for countless years. As long as it could fill its stomach, that was enough!
The oxygen near the rift was depleted, and soon after, large numbers of insects suffocated to death. The places where insects gathered were too dense, and in just a few minutes, tens of thousands of insects lay dead on the ground, a column of Power of the Soul like smoke successfully coagulated, immediately devoured by the plane.
Chen Feng was not wrong. For this fallen plane, any living creature was a target to be devoured!
The Insect Realm is terrifying, but at this moment, it was in a state of selfless dedication. Souls were being devoured, and the continuous flow of Power of the Soul was generated within the plane. In just a few minutes, this converted energy could help Chen Feng once again refine a Gold Skeleton!
