Chapter 509

"Boss!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was shocked and lunged to Sun Lingtong's side.

He hurriedly cast spells to check Sun Lingtong's condition.

Soon, Unlike Ning Zhuo's brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression became panicked.

Countless fine cracks gradually appeared on the surface of Sun Lingtong's body. These cracks crisscrossed on Sun Lingtong's body, and points of starlight were revealed in the gaps.

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately cast healing spells, but all were ineffective.

He took out a large amount of elixirs and poured them into Sun Lingtong's mouth, while simultaneously infusing him with magic power to help him immediately digest the medicinal power so it could act on his whole body.

Still ineffective!

Unlike Ning Zhuo was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

Although his Five Elements realm was profound, he felt powerless when encountering the void!

"Boss, Boss!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo began to use various methods, such as the Human Life Hanging Thread, the Stone-Cast Earth Treasure divine ability, and so on, but it was hard to see any miraculous effect.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's body began to tremble as he watched the cracks on Sun Lingtong's body grow larger and larger.

He gasped for air, covered in sweat, and seeing Sun Lingtong fall into a coma, hanging by a thread, he no longer had his previous calmness!

"Boss, Boss..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo kept taking out his family fortune from his storage belt, trying frantically.

Suddenly, his movements paused, and his bloodshot eyes fixed on the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat in his hand.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, and a faint glimmer of hope burst forth in his eyes.

He immediately infused magic power to restore the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat to its normal size.

Afterward, he placed Sun Lingtong inside the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

Unlike Ning Zhuo then placed the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat inside the corpse of the stone monster, making the scene of the past repeat itself.

The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat was once again forced to reveal its Dharma prohibitions, and the full text of the "Heaven-Born and Earth-Nurtured Fetal Breath Great Art" was revealed.

Sun Lingtong's body began to be covered in stone clothing.

The speed at which the stone clothing spread was far slower than before.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was very anxious, his gaze fixed on the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, and he injected magic power into it fiercely.

As a result, the Dharma prohibitions of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat disappeared, and the stone clothing on Sun Lingtong's body began to fade instead!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart shook, and he slapped his own forehead hard, feeling very annoyed.

The reason the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat could trigger the Dharma prohibitions was for self-preservation, so it mobilized all its power, borrowed the power of heaven and earth, and created a fetal breath state.

Now that it had received Unlike Ning Zhuo's powerful assistance, it naturally wouldn't exert itself, and couldn't reach the level of triggering the Dharma prohibitions.

Sun Lingtong had no fetal breath state to bolster him, and the essence of the stone clothing came from the "principles" of Old Monster Shi Zhong, so there was no good environment for it to spread.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with intensity, trying hard to stabilize his mind.

This whole ordeal made him recognize his own state—he was almost unable to think!

Unlike Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and immediately withdrew his magic power. The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat trembled, falling back into a state of isolation and helplessness. The slight new spirituality inside once again exerted all its strength to save itself.

Sun Lingtong once again gained the support of the fetal breath state, and the stone clothing gradually spread.

"It's getting slower and slower!" Unlike Ning Zhuo discovered that the growth rate of the stone clothing had slowed down; according to this trend, it wouldn't even be able to cover Sun Lingtong's head before stopping halfway.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked abruptly at the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

He steeled his heart and cast a Metal-attribute spell; a cluster of golden sharpness lingered in his palm, as sharp as a sword or needle.

Unlike Ning Zhuo placed his palm on the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat and rubbed it continuously.

Zzzzz...

The golden light was incredibly sharp, stabbing into the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, and for a time, countless sparks flew everywhere.

The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat suffered an attack, its hull trembled slightly, and it exploded with potential, causing the Dharma prohibitions to brighten several times over.

Sun Lingtong's fetal breath state became even heavier!

Unlike Ning Zhuo saw with joy that the stone clothing on his body recovered its previous speed, firmly spreading toward his head until his entire body was wrapped.

"It works!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense remained on Sun Lingtong, detecting that Sun Lingtong's injuries were being suppressed by the stone clothing.

However, the good times didn't last long.

Although the stone clothing wrapped Sun Lingtong, void cracks gradually appeared on the stone clothing.

The stone clothing also began to break.

"According to previous performance, the stone clothing should rapidly proliferate and thicken, becoming stone skin."

"But it is being checked by the power of the void; the stone clothing remains only a thin layer, and now it is being permeated by void cracks!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, stretched out both hands, and pressed them onto the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

Zzzzz...

His Metal-attribute spell continuously stabbed the hull, forcing the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat to explode with even greater potential.

The hull of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat trembled wildly, and the full text of the Dharma prohibitions released blindingly strong light.

The fetal breath state became even more powerful, bolstering Sun Lingtong's body.

All over Sun Lingtong's body, stone skin began to grow slowly.

The stone skin grew thicker and thicker, but after reaching three inches, it stopped growing.

"Hmm?" Unlike Ning Zhuo's brows had just relaxed, but now they furrowed again.

He stared fixedly at the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat: "Little Boat, hold on!"

He spat out magic power and cast more spells, rotating continuously around the hull.

The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat was damaged by many spells, its hull trembled wildly, and the full text of the Dharma prohibitions illuminated the surroundings, making the cabin as bright as day!

The stone skin on Sun Lingtong's body became even thicker, "growing" from a small size into a stone fatty.

"Still not enough, still not enough!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense was infused within, and he discovered that although the void cracks were greatly checked, if he observed carefully, he could still see them strengthening bit by bit.

Unlike Ning Zhuo once again cast his gaze toward the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

"Little Boat." He reached out and stroked the hull, "I believe you can do it! Come on!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo gave a light shout, and magic power surged, turning into a cluster of five-colored brilliant light.

Various Five Elements spells took turns in the brilliant light, wrapping the hull of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat from the outside.

The hull of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat didn't just tremble wildly; this time it began to vibrate, seemingly wanting to break free from the five-colored brilliant light.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands pressed firmly onto the hull, preventing it from vibrating away.

The full text of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat's Dharma prohibitions expanded directly to three times its previous size, filling the cabin and illuminating it so brightly that in a normal person's field of vision, one could only see a vast whiteness!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's vision was restricted, but his spiritual sense monitored the state of the boat and the person at all times.

"The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat has reached its limit!" Unlike Ning Zhuo detected that the hull of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat already had many cracks.

The void cracks were almost stagnant.

Almost!

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but gnash his teeth.

Suddenly, he thought of a certain demon god.

Once the thought arose, he scattered his spiritual sense and controlled the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.

The cabin door opened all the way, and a bracelet was picked up by an invisible force and sent to Unlike Ning Zhuo's side.

It turned out that after the Dice Bone Demon God was subdued by Unlike Ning Zhuo, it had transformed into a dice bracelet.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had not yet fully determined its loyalty, so when he was playing the role of Old Monster Shi Zhong, he had placed this bracelet in an empty cabin within the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon in advance.

"Dice Bone Demon God, quickly deploy your dojo and accept us." Unlike Ning Zhuo issued the order.

The bracelet immediately changed, restoring itself to the Dice Bone Demon God.

It prostrated on the ground: "In front of the master, this old slave dares not call himself a demon or god. Master, rest assured, this old slave will definitely do his utmost!"

The next moment, the dice dojo spread out, covering Sun and Ning, the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, and the stone ball.

A die appeared above Sun Lingtong's head, and after a spin, it turned into a six.

The dice in the Dice Bone Demon God's eye sockets rolled two ones. "This?!" The demon god was directly dumbfounded.

How could such a thing happen after defecting to Unlike Ning Zhuo?

But fortunately, the die above Unlike Ning Zhuo's head was also a six.

In this way, six plus one plus one equals eight, which is greater than Sun Lingtong's six.

The void cracks on Sun Lingtong's body were suppressed, and the stone skin continued to thicken, its speed increasing by a few strands.

Don't look at it as just a tiny improvement of a few strands; it truly created a qualitative change!

The void cracks finally stopped eroding and expanding, becoming completely motionless.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was finally satisfied and withdrew his hand, no longer harming the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat.

Crack, crack.

The Fetal Breath Spirit Boat was covered in cracks.

The Dice Bone Demon God also knelt halfway on the ground, and cracks appeared on its skeletal body. Even one of the dice acting as its eyeballs in its eye sockets shattered directly.

Its strength was greatly damaged!

"Old Dice, you did well." Unlike Ning Zhuo comforted it.

No errors in the content, read it at a glance!

The Dice Bone Demon God immediately expressed that being able to do things for Unlike Ning Zhuo, even if it meant death, he would go through fire and water!

"Return."

At Unlike Ning Zhuo's command, the Dice Bone Demon God transformed again, becoming a bracelet, and took the initiative to wear itself on Unlike Ning Zhuo's wrist.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense enveloped Sun Lingtong, confirming once again that the latter's injuries had been stabilized.

All the void cracks were suppressed and no longer spread or proliferated.

"Boss absorbed that bone marrow and needs time to digest it."

"In this regard, I am unable to help."

"But as long as his body doesn't collapse, there is hope for everything!"

After Unlike Ning Zhuo confirmed that Sun Lingtong's injuries were stable, he sat down on the ground.

He was completely exhausted, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his whole body was weak and powerless.

For a time, he sat on the ground and didn't want to move at all.

Mulun Town.

Shuang Ling also slumped on the Dharma altar, her hair disheveled, her eyes wide with rage: "He didn't die!"

"Old Monster Shi Zhong was hit by my divine ability ritual, and he actually didn't die!!"

"He is still alive."

"This is impossible!"

"This time, in order to pursue a sure kill, I invested at least ten bricks of national power!"

Shuang Ling's sense of the storage bag still remained at this moment.

But the location was not fixed; it was a mess. As long as she sensed it carefully, it would confuse her normal sense of direction.

Shuang Ling was no stranger to this situation: "Old Monster Shi Zhong is located in the void. In the void, there is no concept of front, back, left, right, east, west, or distance. Therefore, such an illusion would occur."

"Old Monster Shi Zhong can both withstand my Starfall Heavenly Punishment spell and traverse the void with his physical body..."

"In that case, he is... Soul Transformation level?!"

Shuang Ling's face revealed a trace of horror.

If the Thousand Peaks Forest side added a second Soul Transformation level cultivator, it would inevitably have a strong impact on the entire war situation.

Shuang Ling naturally did not dare to neglect such important military intelligence.

She suppressed the resentment and anger in her heart, and after descending from the Dharma altar, she immediately rushed to the central military tent and met with Commander Du Tiechuan.

Du Tiechuan heard Shuang Ling's report, his face full of gravity, and said in a deep voice: "Soul Transformation level!"

"With Old Monster Shi Zhong's performance, he is definitely at the Soul Transformation level."

"Princess, your contribution this time is not small; to be able to scout such military intelligence! This is truly too important for our army."

Shuang Ling's face was gray, and she didn't have much pride: "Old Monster Shi Zhong snatched my pedestal and precious materials; most of my family fortune is in his hands."

"I sensed his last location, and it was here!"

Saying this, Shuang Ling used the Thousand Peaks Forest map in the commander's tent and pointed her finger at a spot.

Du Tiechuan cast his gaze: "Bikong Mountain?"

"Right now, the Golden Halberd Army is about to arrive at Bikong Mountain; I will immediately send this latest military intelligence to him so he can be extremely wary of Old Monster Shi Zhong!"

Speaking of this, Du Tiechuan stared at Shuang Ling again: "Princess, are you sure that as long as Old Monster Shi Zhong exits the void, you will be able to sense him?"

Shuang Ling: "As long as I open the altar to perform the ritual, as long as Old Monster Shi Zhong hasn't cracked my methods, and as long as he hasn't left the Liangzhu Kingdom, I will be able to sense him."

"To be precise, I can sense my many pedestals!"

Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.

Sun Lingtong used his spiritual sense to contact Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo rushed to the front of the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat with joy.

I don't know if he saw it wrong, but the broken Fetal Breath Spirit Boat "saw" Unlike Ning Zhuo, and the hull trembled slightly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo transmitted via spiritual sense: "Boss, you're awake? How are you recovering? How do you feel?"

Sun Lingtong had already used his spiritual sense to check himself, and after a slight turn of his brain, he guessed that he had been saved by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

But he didn't say any words of thanks.

Given the relationship between Unlike Ning Zhuo and him, there was no need to say these things at all.

Sun Lingtong said: "I feel very bored right now!"

"Hurry and let me out, Little Zhuo."

"Boss, but your injuries..." Unlike Ning Zhuo used his spiritual sense to scan Sun Lingtong's entire body, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the latter had no injuries at all!

"Hahaha!" Sun Lingtong transmitted via spiritual sense, "Who am I?! I am Sun Lingtong, your boss!"

"This little injury counts for nothing at all."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up directly: "Boss, you are worthy of being my boss!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't mention a word about Sun Lingtong spitting blood and fainting earlier.

Sun Lingtong's recovery was extremely good, which was far beyond Unlike Ning Zhuo's expectations.

"From this, it can be seen that Boss's comprehension and talent in the void are extremely astonishing."

"After all, he only practices the Boy's Art, yet he even has the 'Empty and Void' mark."

"No wonder he is so highly valued by his master!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered while taking action to remove the thick stone skin from Sun Lingtong, returning freedom to the latter.

Sun Lingtong stood on the floor tiles, moved his limbs, jumped on his toes, and then giggled.

"Little Zhuo, look at this!"

He stretched out his hand and aimed his palm at the storage bag at Unlike Ning Zhuo's waist.

This storage bag had been emitting faint starlight.

But the next moment, as Sun Lingtong performed his theft techniques, the storage bag became dull and lusterless, and the starlight dissipated completely.

"Boss!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was overjoyed.

Sun Lingtong put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud: "See that? See that!"

"I absorbed the bone marrow of the void evil god—oh no, to be precise, it was the 'Empty and Void' mark in my spiritual sea that absorbed it."

"This mark has already undergone a mutation and a qualitative change, allowing me to use many methods."

"Theft techniques, spells, martial arts, whatever; as long as it involves space, there has been an astonishing improvement!"

"I am terrifyingly strong now!!"

At the end of his speech, Sun Lingtong spread his five fingers, then clenched his small fist tightly, his mouth pursed tightly, and he tried hard to make a "fierce" expression on his flushed little face.
