Chapter 348: Great, Boss Has Become an Undead

After the earth-element monster appeared.

Jiang Li immediately activated Heavenly Phenomenon Descends, freezing over half of the earth giants.

He fully activated the Death Eye and saw death points and death lines on these earth giants as well.

"Sorry, but if I don't use some special methods, I can't possibly pass the trial!"

"Then I'll have to kill most of you, and then absorb the earth essence!"

Jiang Li understood some crucial points.

Passing the trial and truly passing the trial are different.

Just like in the first-tier instance, the lowest rating is Iron, the highest is Eternal.

Different ratings grant different reborn classes.

Just now, that final vine gave me the wood essence and acknowledged my strength.

Jiang Li suspected that passing this trial was likely different from how today's Nolande pseudo-Crown Prince passed it.

Jiang Li said sorry, because he had killed each true Five Elements monster one by one, and thus the Flame Valley would no longer bless future disciples.

This would cause those who come to the Flame Valley shortly after to find the Five Elements Valley's difficulty drastically lowered, which would have some bad consequences—but now there was no time to analyze it carefully.

But there was no other way; without this, he could not pass the trial by any other method.

Without hesitation, Jiang Li launched his killing technique, each strike landing precisely on the death points of the earth giants.

The earth giants let out a shriek of agony and died.

The effect of Heavenly Phenomenon Descends had just faded.

Jiang Li suddenly roared again, "Heavenly Phenomenon Descends!!!"

Restoring full mana and spirit was enough for him to cast this large-scale freezing over ten times.

Although the earth giants would break free quickly, the 1–3 seconds of freezing were enough for Jiang Li to truly kill them.

He finally activated Heavenly Phenomenon Descends four or five times in succession.

After sensing waves of fearful spiritual fluctuations, Jiang Li roared: "I only want to pass the trial! If you stop attacking me and let me pass, I won't keep killing you!"

Indeed—

The earth giants understood his words and ceased their attacks.

The final earth giant, over ten meters tall, came before Jiang Li and knelt halfway before him.

"Great Nolande—we acknowledge your strength! You have passed the trial!"

Then the earth giant lifted a ball of earth-yellow energy before Jiang Li.

Jiang Li did not hesitate—he swallowed it directly.

Then…

Jiang Li used this method to directly pass the water Five Elements trial, the fire Five Elements trial, and finally held a golden energy ball in his hand.

"Now I've obtained the final force of the five elements— I wonder what will happen if I swallow it!"

No one answered Jiang Li.

Jiang Li had no choice either.

He directly swallowed the final golden Five Elements essence into his stomach.

When Jiang Li swallowed the final five-element force into his stomach.

His expression changed instantly.

His first thought was that this was a conspiracy.

But it didn't make sense logically—he only felt his insides burning, yet his consciousness remained crystal clear.

He looked at his chest, "This…"

He sucked in a sharp breath—his chest flesh was glowing. The next moment, it was more than just glowing.

All the skin and flesh on his chest shattered in an instant under some mysterious force, exposing his internal organs directly.

His heart recoiled in horror, "How…?" He tried to speak, then immediately reached for his throat.

He found his throat's flesh rotted away—his vocal cords had already disintegrated.

Next, Jiang Li rotted away flesh from head to toe, right before the eyes of the many golden summons.

From head to toe, his entire body rotted until not a single scrap of flesh remained, only his clothing left.

The spiritual flame within Jiang Li's skull flickered.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit… what happened?"

Jiang Li looked at his white bone palms.

He checked his entire body—he found not a single trace of flesh left anywhere, yet his spiritual awareness remained perfectly clear.

Before he could even react—

His entire skeletal body transformed into a five-colored hue.

"Whoa—"

"Boss awesome! Boss is one of us undead too!"

"So awesome!"

"But Boss, this five-colored skeleton—isn't it just too cool? It's insane!"

From afar, Jiang Li, though transformed into a skeleton, shone like a work of art.

Every bone on his body had turned into luminous, multicolored hues, with the five colors flowing across his skeleton, making Jiang Li appear incredibly noble!

Aside from lacking flesh, Jiang Li felt stronger than ever before.

Before he could check his own stats—

【Prompt: Host has completed Phase One, Heavy with Flesh and Blood Hidden Rebirth Quest.】

【Prompt: From now on, the host's level is reset to level one.】
