Chapter 127 - Mutation of the White Bone Plains to the Netherworld Corpse King
"Ye Xuan!"
Lin Zhibai and the others looked extremely nervous.
"Sizzle!"
Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings flickered in the air and turned into an enormous bolt of lightning. It was like an electric dragon that spanned several dozen of meters long.
There was a loud crash, and the air exploded. Several sonic booms. .h.i.t the woman in red and pa.s.sed through her.
"Ahhh!"
The woman"s enormous and icy cold figure was torn into shreds instantly. The Um Demons around her all turned into green smoke and floated away in piercing wails.
After the woman"s figure dispersed, an Um Demon who was covered in black dirt fell onto the ground with a splat and turned into dust.
Whoos.h.!.+
Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings soared across the air and plucked the seven-segment white bone gra.s.s on the peak of the mountain.
Then, it swiftly returned to Ye Xuan, turning into a golden electric rabbit, and landed on Ye Xuan"s shoulder.
It handed the seven-segment white bone gra.s.s in its mouth to Ye Xuan ingratiatingly.
The Tidal Treasure Snail"s treasure-seeking ability meant that it could seek Heaven and Earth Treasure.
The seven-segment white bone gra.s.s was a type of Heaven and Earth Treasure. It was the favorite of most Nether-type beasts.
"Let"s go to take a look at other places. There isn"t much left here in the Wanfen Mountain."
Ye Xuan kept the seven-segment white bone gra.s.s he took from the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings" mouth and then looked at everyone.
"d.a.m.n it. What is this?"
"No, Ye Xuan, how did you realize that it was a fake and it was just an illusion?"
Everyone looked stupefied as they followed after Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled and sped up, leading the others away.
...
Jiangzhou University.
Rising Star Hall.
While Ye Xuan was looking for evolutionary resources around the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, Qi Laingcai, Wei Shan, and Lv Jing emerged from Rising Star Hall.
"Tsk, I thought that getting through Rising Star Hall would be very difficult. Who would have thought that it would be so easy?"
Qi Liangcai said arrogantly after walking out of Rising Star Hall.
Beside him, Wei Shan and Lv Jing glared at him.
Qi Liangcai"s three-legged h.e.l.lfire Crow was already at the platinum level. It was, of course, simple for him to get through Rising Star Hall.
However, it took a lot of effort for both of them to get through Rising Star Hall. They had barely managed to get through it.
"It"s a pity that that rascal Ye Xuan is not here. If he were, we would be able to see how good he is."
Qi Liangcai ignored the two of them and continued bragging.
"Good on you."
Wei Shan and Lv Jing were both annoyed when they heard what Qi Liangcai had to say.
Ye Xuan had only just reached the mid-Dark Iron level. He wasn"t even in the bronze level yet. How could he possibly get through Rising Star Hall?
That lad Qi Liangcai just wanted to show off his own abilities in front of Ye Xuan.
"Haha."
Qi Liangcai laughed. "But it"s true. I am inquisitive about Ye Xuan"s talent."
"Ye Tiange had said before that Ye Xuan already contracted two beasts while he was at the apprentice level."
"But I thought about it after that. Even if he really had managed to contract two beasts while he was at the apprentice level, would he be able to catch up to us in the six years of university?"
Qi Liangcai was truly puzzled by this.
Because what Jiangzhou University needed the most right now was people who could hold it up and support it.
But Ye Xuan"s beast-taming abilities had awakened too late.
Even if Ye Xuan were extremely talented, he would not be able to catch up to them in six years, right?
Right now, they were at a much higher level than Ye Xuan.
Especially him, Qi Liangcai. He was going to break through to become a platinum-level beast tamer soon.
That was why he could not understand what Lin s.h.i.+ru saw in Ye Xuan. She was willing to give Ye Xuan her Wind and Cloud Mansion.
She was even going to give Ye Xuan a gold five-star Sacred Divine Wood that could potentially become a Challenger level beast.
He could not help it. That was a gold five-star s.p.a.ce type beast.
"If you want to know, you can just ask him when he returns from the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm."
Lv Jing smiled when he heard that.
Actually, it was not just Qi Liangcai who was curious about Ye Xuan. Lv Jing and Wei Shan were curious about him too.
They were also jealous of the treatment that Ye Xan got.
If not for Ye Xuan, they would not have felt anything.
But because of Ye Xuan, when compared to him, they felt as if they were stepsons.
"Alright, let"s go. Since we have gotten past the Rising Star Hall, we can now apply to challenge the Rising Star List."
Qi Liangcai"s eyes were bright.
Furthermore, he also had to work hard.
Otherwise, if Ye Xuan really caught up to him in five or six years, when he was about to graduate, that would be not very comfortable.
"Let"s go."
Wei Shan and Lv Jing both had a look of antic.i.p.ation in their eyes.
Actually, their cultivation levels were still a little low.
The students who could get on the Rising Star List were either at the platinum level or the bronze level peak.
The two of them only had one peak bronze level beast each.
However, they were only at the high bronze level themselves.
They still had some way to go before reaching the peak bronze level.
If they succeeded, it would be for the best. But it would not matter even if they did not.
...
"d.a.m.nit. This is the white bone plain. When did the white bone plains become so scary?"
The students from Wanshan University ran across the white bone plains in a panic.
Behind them was a large skeletal dragon that chased after them. It would expel white and chilly mist from its mouth from time to time.
Simultaneously, skeletons emerged from beneath the ground of the entire white bone plain, making a rustling sound.
In the beginning, the skeletons emerged from the ground rather slowly.
But gradually, it felt as if the entire white bone plains had come alive.
In just the blink of an eye, ten and then dozens of skeleton emerged from the ground where they could see it.
Then, the entire white bone plains seemed to have become a sea of skeletons.
And in the sea of skeletons, an occasional white skeleton soldier or white skeleton general would appear.
They even suspected that the skeleton dragon had also suddenly appeared in the mutation.
"We can"t stay here any longer. Something is not right!"
Some of the students from Wanshan University said. They increased their speed and ran towards the edge of the white bone plains.
They were not considered powerful.
They had not intended to go anywhere else after entering the secret realm.
Instead, they had stayed in the white bone plains and had intended to find some evolutionary resources.
However, they had not expected that the place that had looked the safest to them had now become the most dangerous place.
...
Cras.h.!.+
"This is the Tens of Thousands Corpse Lake, right?"
Ye Xuan still did not know about the mutation of the white bone plains yet.
He led Lin Zhibai and the others out of Wanfen Mountain.
They saw the enormous lake from far away as it appeared before them.
The waters of the lake seemed to be murky.
From afar, they could see the lake water churning and rippling.
A white skeleton or an enormous hand would emerge from the lake from time to time. It seemed as if there were quite a few curious and odd creatures living in there.
However, Ye Xuan and the others had their attention attracted by a group of people fighting an enormous creature in the distance.
The creature emerged from the lake. The portion of the creature that was above the lake was several meters tall.
The creature was probably twenty meters long altogether.
However, what truly caught their attention was not the creature"s height but the fact that the creature"s body was made out of several corpses piled on top of each other.
And when put together, the shape formed was that of a large and deformed fat man.
Cras.h.!.+
Every time the creature moved forward, it would cause huge waves in the lake.
Whenever it swung at something, the corpses on its arm would fly out and form into a human-shaped grenade. It would then waved its arms around and hurtled towards the students of Wanshan University.
When the corpses flew off, one could see that their bodies were swollen and that there were pus-filled boils on their bodies.
The pus-filled boils would leak with yellow pus when they were too forceful and broke them.
The air would immediately emit yellow smoke when it encountered the weird liquid.
"What creature is that?"
Ye Xuan was shocked when he saw the sight before him.
Then, he looked around and saw a weird yellow flower floating above the lake next to the monstrous creature.
If one did not look closely, they would not realize that the flower was actually growing in thin air and not in the mud nor water. Other than that, however, it was not much different from an ordinary flower.
However, if one were to look in the flower"s stamen, they would be able to see it.
In the stamen of the flower was an odd skeleton.
It was a very, very tiny skeleton.
It was even smaller than Lil Wan.
"What sort of flower is that?"
Ye Xuan used the real-time map to observe the flower. He grew slightly excited.
He could also sense from the Tidal Treasure Snail that the treasure aura given off by the flower was much stronger than any of the treasures that he had obtained before.
However, Ye Xuan turned his eyes to look at the fierce and intimidating figure next to the little yellow flower.
[Mutated Netherworld Corpse King: Four Stars
Level: High Bronze Level
Abilities: Corpse blending, Corpse splitting, Corpse forming, Corpse explosion, Corpse King infection, and Corpse King Fists]
The ma.s.sive creature"s attributes instantly appeared in Ye Xuan"s Beast Editor.
"This creature..."
Ye Xuan"s pupils narrowed when he saw the mutated Netherworld Corpse King"s attributes.
He did not expect that the beast not only had a four-star level, but its cultivation level was also that of a high bronze level.
Its ranking was even higher than that of the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon that he had encountered earlier.
One had to know that the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm had only been sealed for two years.
According to the information he had gotten, the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm would only have creatures of such a level when it had been sealed for five years and above.
"Hmm? People from Jiangzhou University?"
Simultaneously, the people who were fighting the mutate Netherworld Corpse King narrowed their eyes when they saw Ye Xuan and the others.
They immediately recognize Ye Xuan and the other students.
"It"s Ye Xuan. They are form Wanshan Unviersity!"
At the same time, Lin Zhibai and the others also recognize where the other students were from based on their uniforms.
After recognizing which university these students were from, they all subconsciously glanced at the golden web in the claws of the White Flame Bronze Bird.
