Chapter 1793 - 1792: Strange Skeleton
Closing the map, Zhang Xiaohao decided not to waste any more time, and with a swift movement, he dashed forward.
In the center of the Ancient Battlefield, according to the markings on the map, there are a hundred Wangu Arenas. Anyone who steps onto these arenas can gain some fortune. If it were only this, these hundred Wangu Arenas wouldn’t have attracted Zhang Xiaohao. Apart from this, the longer one stays on these Wangu Arenas, the more boundless the benefits they receive.
According to the map’s introduction, someone has been standing on the Wangu Arena for exactly nine years. Nine being the ultimate number, once reaching nine, no matter who it is, they cannot break this legend.
Even so, anyone who persists on these hundred Wangu Arenas for nine years undoubtedly gains some heaven-defying fortune, soaring high and their life becomes unstoppable, like having a cheat code.
Zhang Xiaohao’s target this time is to step onto one of these Wangu Arenas, to gain the power of fortune from it, thus breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Only by breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm can he cultivate the three Great Divine Skills handed over to him by the Spirit King. Once these three Great Divine Skills are mastered, he will truly have some self-preservation power.
At the moment, Zhang Xiaohao made a swift movement, and under the blessing of the Black Cloud Stepping Sky Boots, he transformed into a stream of light, rapidly dashing forward.
Three days later.
Zhang Xiaohao stopped, concealed atop a giant tree, arms crossed behind his back, coldly staring at the frontline battle.
Countless golden ants, each at Qi Cultivation Early Stage, numbering in the tens of thousands, were currently besieging a black humanoid puppet.
The humanoid puppet moved stiffly, its gaze scattered, lacking rationality, completely responding to these golden ants before it with instinct.
"Golden Poison Ants?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned as information regarding the Golden Poison Ants voluntarily surfaced in his mind.
Golden Poison Ants can spray out a highly toxic venom, incredibly potent, strong even if just a single dose, such that even a cultivator in the Refining Void Realm would suffer greatly if touched by it, perhaps losing a layer of skin even if not killed. Moreover, these Golden Poison Ants are fiercely combative, engaging in battle with the resolve never to rest until death.
"I’m eager to see what mysteries are within this skeleton!" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes gleamed.
At this point, he employed the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, and with a flash of golden light in his eyes, the skeleton ahead couldn’t evade the Heavenly Eye inspection, revealing its entire structure to Zhang Xiaohao.
"Strange, logically speaking, this skeleton possesses no will, lacks any semblance of life, yet even under such circumstances, it can remain ’alive’. How does it manage that?" Zhang Xiaohao was puzzled.
In addition, amid the fierce assault of the Golden Poison Ants, the humanoid skeleton ignored all the venom they sprayed, its limbs clumsily but vaguely exerted powerful attacks, and its physical strength was formidable. Although faced with numerous Golden Poison Ants, the streaks of assault gradually reduced their numbers from tens of thousands.
Gradually, as the battle extended in duration, the black skeleton’s attacks became brisk and effective, having evolved from initial awkwardness to sheer mastery, unveiling several powerful physical combat techniques, striking blow after blow upon the Golden Poison Ants.
Four hours later.
The tens of thousands of Golden Poison Ants were entirely resolved by the humanoid skeleton.
Only to see the black skeleton open its mouth wide to swallow, a powerful suction erupted from its body, absorbing all the ant carcasses beneath.
With a few crunches, they were gulped down, and then the black skeleton, bewildered, trudged ahead.
"Hmm? What’s it planning? Could there be something up ahead attracting it?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered in confusion.
After pondering a moment, Zhang Xiaohao decided to follow along and investigate the situation, figuring a closer look would clarify things.
Swish!
In a swift motion, Zhang Xiaohao’s body flickered, leaving a black shadow trailing behind the black skeleton as he walked forward.
Three days later.
The black skeleton halted in front of a patch of blood-red flowers, dazed for a while before advancing toward the blossoms.
Swish!
As the black skeleton approached, the two-meter tall blood-red flowers suddenly unfurled, swallowing the black skeleton whole.
"Giant Troll Cannibal Flower?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in shock.
Judging by the size of these Giant Troll Cannibal Flowers, even a cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm would surely be doomed if swallowed by them.
Observing the predicament, these Giant Troll Cannibal Flowers engulfing the skeleton, not overly alarmed, and amid the copious blood glow emanating from the roots, preparing to exhaust the black skeleton, a transformation occurred.
Slash!
Two meters tall Giant Troll Cannibal Flower began splitting open forcefully from its roots, a black hand fiercely lifting the massive flower, taking hearty bites as it devoured the plant.
Devouring this Giant Troll Cannibal Flower, the black skeleton advanced toward another flower.
Despite their formidable strength and venomous pollen, Giant Troll Cannibal Flowers couldn’t evade, promptly unfurling to swallow the skeleton upon its approach, repeating the process, eventually torn apart by force, leading to being consumed by the black skeleton.
In a flash, two days later, the vast tribe of Giant Troll Cannibal Flowers had been entirely consumed by the black skeleton.
After devouring these Giant Troll Cannibal Flowers, the black skeleton continued moving forward without rest.
"Seems this black skeleton is far from simple as I imagined," Zhang Xiaohao remarked solemnly.
Considering this, Zhang Xiaohao entertained a bold idea: perhaps using the Three Pure Divination to unravel the mysterious origin of the black skeleton.
Having thought of this, Zhang Xiaohao decided to try it, reasoning that even failure would leave him unharmed, but what if he succeeded?
At present, Zhang Xiaohao wasted no time, stood atop the giant tree, employing the Three Pure Divination Algorithm, fingers pinching with calculations, a miniature Array Plate appeared in his palm, with gold, white, blood red, three colors intertwining.
Gradually, as Zhang Xiaohao calculated, his face grew increasingly pale; the deeper he delved, the greater the depletion of Spiritual Power within.
"I won’t be deterred by this!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a cold snort.
Flipping his right hand, he extracted ten Heavenly Return Yuan Pills and swallowed them.
