80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled

Chapter 346 - Evolution



Chapter 346: Evolution

As he went deeper, Lin Jiufeng also felt how terrifying the Death Realm was.

Outside the periphery, there were many bones on the ground. The air was also filled with terrifying death energy. The sky became gloomy and frightening as if a great calamity was coming.

Lin Jiufeng asked the two skeletons as he advanced rapidly.

“Are there frequent battles in the depths of the Death Realm?”

White Skeleton answered, “Yes, frequent. Amongst the skeletons, there are also different types. Each of them fights frequently.”

“They have already become skeletons, and there are still different types?” Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand.

Black Skeleton said, “Even though they have become skeletons, very few people can awaken their memories from their previous lives right at the beginning. Therefore, they think that they were skeletons from the beginning. Thus, it’s normal to have differentiation between races.”

Lin Jiufeng understood.

Continuing forward, he encountered some skeletons along the way, but they were no threat to Lin Jiufeng. As long as they didn’t stop Lin Jiufeng, he had no interest in dealing with these skeletons.

Of course, there were also some skeletons that didn’t know the meaning of death and blocked his path.

Then, Lin Jiufeng pointed out. Boiling hot energy erupted and directly vaporized them on the spot.

Seeing this, the remaining shocked skeletons quickly moved away from Lin Jiufeng, not daring to disturb him.

Flying at a low altitude, Lin Jiufeng constantly observed and discovered a dead and empty plain in front of him.

The plains were barren, looking incomparably desolate.

There were also many bones inserted in some places. Of course, the soul flame of these bones had already been extinguished.

Black Skeleton suddenly said, “I have a friend here. He lives here all year round. We can ask him the path to go deep into the Death Realm.”

Lin Jiufeng and the two skeletons had never gone into the depths of the Death Realm before. It would naturally be for the best if there was a skeleton to inquire about.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t refuse.

White Skeleton said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a distant friend. It’s unexpected.”

Black Skeleton counterattacked and said, “I’m a generous person, so I naturally have a lot of friends. I’m unlike you, who are as exquisite as a woman. Even when making friends, they will find you troublesome.”

White Skeleton’s soul flame flickered. It was very unwilling to hear these words.

But Black Skeleton ignored it and directly headed for the place where its friend was.

They advanced continuously on the plains.

In the end, Black Skeleton brought Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton to a castle.

This castle was located in the highest area of the plains. It was built with bones and exuded the unique architectural style of the Death Realm.

“How do you know this friend?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

White Skeleton also looked at Black Skeleton curiously.

“In the past, when it was just born, it was in our area. I helped it through the initial difficult environment. We have kept in contact since then. After that, it left the periphery and came here to be a live-in son-in-law,” Black Skeleton said.

“What?” Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.

“A live-in son-in-law?” The Death Realm even had such a thing? Two skeletons working together to give birth to a little skeleton?

This greatly exceeded Lin Jiufeng’s understanding.

“It’s very normal. In the Death Realm, nothing will surprise you. Some female skeletons are very independent and powerful, but there are also some female skeletons that like to find male skeletons as partners. Their spirits can fuse together, and that feeling is very comfortable,” White Skeleton said, its words carrying a trace of memory.

“Have you experienced it before?” Lin Jiufeng looked at White Skeleton.

White Skeleton’s soul flame flickered as it said, “Once. I was young and ignorant and encountered a very gorgeous woman.”

“What about you?” Lin Jiufeng looked at Black Skeleton.

“I didn’t. This kind of thing is very dangerous, okay?” Black Skeleton immediately shook its head, its tone showing rejection.

“Is it dangerous?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

“Yes, it’s indeed very dangerous. When the male and female skeletons are together and undergo a soul fusion, it’s equivalent to completely handing over your safety to the other party. As long as the other party has any bad intentions, you will be severely injured. Countless top skeletons have their soul flames devoured because of this matter. Therefore, in the Death Realm, there are also female skeletons who specialize in tempting male skeletons to fuse their souls and devour the other party’s soul at the moment of the peak.” White Skeleton nodded.

A sentence immediately appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

There was a blade above the word ‘lust’.

They were already skeletons, yet they still thought of that kind of thing. Lin Jiufeng was really speechless.

When Lin Jiufeng communicated with White Skeleton, Black Skeleton had already contacted its friend.

A skeleton walked out of the castle.

Unlike the other skeletons, this was a ‘red skeleton’. The bones all over its body were crystal clear like blood-red crystals, flickering with a dream-like luster.

At first, Lin Jiufeng thought that it was a Perfected Immortal-level red soul flame.

But on a closer look, it was only completely red on the body, but the soul flame wasn’t.

Its soul flame was purple, and it was the kind of light purple that had golden edges.

This meant that it was already at the peak of the purple soul flame. It wasn’t far from the next realm of the golden soul flame.

After it appeared, it immediately hugged Black Skeleton and sized up Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton. It wanted to invite them into the castle.

“There’s no need for us to go in. The main reason why we came to look for you is to ask you, what dangers are there in going deeper into the Death Realm?” Black Skeleton refused and came straight to the point.

“You guys want to go deep into the Death Realm?” The red skeleton that looked like a red crystal asked in surprise.

Black Skeleton nodded.

“Didn’t you always refuse to leave the comfort zone?” The red skeleton asked.

“Times change, I also changed my mind,” Black Skeleton said.

“Why does this person have flesh and blood?” The red skeleton pointed at Lin Jiufeng and asked in surprise.

“He’s a wisp of a remnant soul, different from us,” Black Skeleton explained.

“A remnant soul? I haven’t seen one in a long time. They are very rare,” the red skeleton said with emotion.

“We are going to explore the depths of the Death Realm together now. Do you have a map?” Black Skeleton asked again.

“Yes, I’ll bring it to you now. It’s in the castle, come in.” The red skeleton invited again.

Black Skeleton hesitated for a while and looked at Lin Jiufeng.

“We will just wait outside. We still have to hurry after obtaining the map,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.

He felt that this red skeleton’s motive wasn’t pure. Unlike Black Skeleton and White Skeleton, it wanted to invite Lin Jiufeng into the castle several times.

Moreover, most importantly, after it came out, it stared at Lin Jiufeng the most.

Lin Jiufeng’s perception was very sharp. Especially now that he was a wisp of a remnant soul, his perception was even sharper now.

From the moment he came out until now, the red skeleton had looked at him 30 times. Although its gaze would sweep past him every time and rarely look at him directly, how could these escape Lin Jiufeng’s perception?

Hence, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t enter the castle. This castle was the red skeleton’s territory, who knew what was inside?

“Alright, I’ll go in and get the map for you guys.” The red skeleton didn’t insist. It turned around and entered the castle.

White Skeleton chuckled and said to Black Skeleton, “This friend of yours isn’t simple.”

It also sensed the red skeleton’s attitude.

Black Skeleton fell silent and said, “Let’s wait and see. It wasn’t like this back then. I saved it many times before. Now, I’m just asking it to give me a map.”

“The map isn’t a problem. The key problem is that it’s most likely targeting me,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“A wisp of a remnant soul that’s so condensed that it looks like a creature of flesh and blood. If it absorbs and devours you, you will definitely be a great supplement. It seems that the red skeleton is at a critical moment. As long as it devours you, it should be able to step into the golden soul flame level.” White Skeleton instantly analyzed the red skeleton’s thoughts.

“Can the two of you defeat it?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Yes!” Black Skeleton said firmly.

It wasn’t in a good mood now because the red skeleton’s attitude and target were both quite naked. Since White Skeleton could feel it, Black Skeleton naturally could too.

When the red skeleton was just born, it was obedient, sensible, and grateful. Black Skeleton had saved the red skeleton many times, but it never thought of asking for repayment from the red skeleton. But now, the red skeleton even placed its thoughts on Lin Jiufeng.

Black Skeleton was the one who brought Lin Jiufeng here. Wasn’t this a direct slap to its face?

Although skeletons didn’t have a face, Black Skeleton felt uncomfortable.

Hence, it immediately said that it could defeat the red skeleton.

The meaning was obvious.

If something really happened, Black Skeleton would settle it.

“Don’t be sad. All people change, let alone a skeleton.” Lin Jiufeng sensed Black Skeleton’s depressed mood and comforted it.

White Skeleton said stiffly, “Sometimes, receiving too much help will lead to hatred. Although you didn’t ask for repayment when helping the red skeleton, it might think that it’s only right and proper for you to help it. Moreover, it might even think that helping it is your duty. Moreover, it has its eyes on Great Emperor Jiufeng now and it doesn’t take you seriously at all. Your vision is really bad to take a fancy to such a skeleton.”

Although it was just words of comfort, when it came out of White Skeleton’s mouth, the taste wasn’t right.

Of course, Black Skeleton didn’t mind.

If White Skeleton really comforted it in a normal manner, it would be very surprising.

The two of them had been fighting for so many years, their feelings for each other were very complicated.

As they were talking, the door of the castle opened again.

This time, it wasn’t just the red skeleton that came out. There was also a skeleton that looked like a diamond. Its posture was very enchanting. Its soul flame was also purple in color, and the borders had threads of gold. It was in the same realm as the red skeleton.

Behind them, a few more purple soul flame skeletons came out and surrounded Lin Jiufeng’s group.

Lin Jiufeng’s expression didn’t change. He had already guessed this.

White Skeleton was also very calm as it watched this scene.

As for Black Skeleton, its soul flames burned fiercely. It looked at the red skeleton and questioned, “What do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything else. My wife and I need this wisp of the remnant soul to break through. I’ve already prepared the map that you want. This is a hand-drawn map that a very powerful skeleton brought back from the depths of the Death Realm. Take it. In exchange, leave this wisp of remnant soul and the white skeleton behind,” the red skeleton said coldly.

“I’ve saved you quite a few times, but I’ve never asked you for any favors. I’m only taking a map from you now, and this is how you treat me?” Black Skeleton was angry, and its words were very cold.

“You talk too much crap. Did I ask you to save me back then?” The red skeleton said disdainfully.

“Saving me is just a casual thing for you. You did it because you were bored. Don’t make yourself sound so noble. I achieved what I have today not because of you. Giving you a map is because we were acquaintances. Don’t make trouble for yourself. There are only three of you, but we have six purple soul flames on our side,” the red skeleton said coldly, looking like a different person from its previous enthusiasm.

“I like that wisp of remnant soul. He’s simply too good-looking. He’s handsome, elegant, white, and clean. His looks are simply what I like. I really can’t bear to devour him,” the female skeleton said with a charming voice.

“Hurry up and take the map and get lost. This is the end of our relationship. I’m definitely going to absorb this white skeleton and this wisp of remnant soul today,” the red skeleton said coldly.

Black Skeleton didn’t answer. Instead, it looked at Lin Jiufeng.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, I judged this skeleton wrongly this time and brought you trouble. Please wait a moment,” Black Skeleton bowed and apologized.

“It’s okay. It’s fine as long as you aren’t sad.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He was very calm and didn’t take this matter to heart at all.

Lin Jiufeng’s experience in life made him not take the red skeleton seriously at all.

After Black Skeleton apologized, it turned around to look at the red skeleton and walked over.

“What are you doing?” White Skeleton asked curiously.

“Please wait for a few minutes. I’m going to handle some private matters and some trash,” Black Skeleton said coldly without looking back.

“Do you need help?” Lin Jiufeng asked. After all, the other side had six purple soul flame skeletons.

“No need. Please wait a moment.” Black Skeleton refused. It was very angry now. It wanted to vent its anger.

Boom!

The battle instantly began. Black Skeleton didn’t give the red skeleton a chance to speak at all. It waved its fist and smashed down ruthlessly.

A terrifying might and black energy filled Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton’s eyes.

“Can Black Skeleton fight against six?” Lin Jiufeng was a little suspicious of this.

Among these six skeletons, two were at the peak of the purple soul flame level.

Of course, they were nothing much in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

But he was worried that Black Skeleton wouldn’t be able to defeat them.

However, White Skeleton said confidently, “We are in the periphery because we are timid. We are very afraid to the bone, not because we are weak. Instead, because we often fight, only I know how terrifying Black Skeleton is. Just wait a few minutes.”

Lin Jiufeng watched silently.

Although Black Skeleton said to wait a few minutes, a minute later, it personally crushed the red skeleton and its wife’s soul. It opened its mouth and inhaled, absorbing their soul flames and breathing heavily.

The other four skeletons were also killed by Black Skeleton in a violent manner.

Along the way, Black Skeleton even destroyed the castle.

Its soul flame rose, purple light overflowed, and finally transformed into golden light.

After absorbing six soul flames of the same level, Black Skeleton evolved.

“Back then, I personally saved you and gave you life!”

“Now, I will personally end you and devour your life!”

“Actually, I’ve never been a good person. You’re one of the few good things I’ve done.”

“But you let me down!”

Black Skeleton looked at the ruins and said softly.
