Chapter 496

The White Bone Tree, as an Extraordinary-grade entity, possessed three innate talents.

First: Soul Enslavement. The White Bone Tree could enslave life forms of the same rank, turning them into servants who would obey absolutely. After being enslaved, the servant's intelligence, talent, and abilities remained unaffected. (No limit)

Second: Undead Summoning. The White Bone Tree could resurrect deceased life forms on a large scale (must possess a physical body), converting them into corpse servants. Corpse servants could only retain a portion of their combat instincts and innate skills from when they were alive. (No limit)

Third: Corpse Servant Modification. The White Bone Tree could modify corpse servants that possessed physical bodies, creating more powerful individuals. (No limit)

Because Yuan was only a skeletal frame and his Spark had been extinguished, only the 'Undead Summoning' talent could be used.

However, the White Bone Tree shook its head and said, "Master, I am currently only at the peak of the Emperor Grade and cannot use this move on Yuan's skeletal frame."

"Only when I reach the Legendary grade can I convert an existence of the same quality."

Legendary grade corresponded to the Void stage.

But since the White Bone Tree had not yet reached its mature stage, it was unable to convert Yuan's skeletal frame.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Zhao Xing nodded.

Yuan had taken the final step before his death, becoming a Void Venerable.

However, his consciousness had been too severely damaged, and his Spark had been extinguished; even if he had broken through, it would have been to no avail.

But the skeletal frame he left behind was absolutely the strongest existence among Void Venerables.

Because his consciousness had been extinguished, there wasn't a single wound on the entire skeletal frame.

"It seems that if I want to convert the Sovereign's Bone Body, I'll have to wait for the White Bone Tree to mature, though that shouldn't take too long."

"Three thousand years pass in the internal world, while only a little over a year passes in the outside world."

In the internal world, the phantom of the youth beneath the White Bone Tree coiled around Yuan's skeletal frame.

At this moment, the White Bone Tree's complex emotions toward Yuan had dissipated significantly.

Because it knew that since its master had obtained the bone body, he would inevitably hand it over to be converted.

"You trapped me for so long, yet now you have fallen into my master's hands and are about to be converted by me."

"Yuan, is this what you called the cycle of karma..."

The youth beneath the White Bone Tree looked somewhat listless.

He had followed Yuan for over two thousand years, witnessing Yuan's rise and how he unified the Spark Continent to become the supreme Sovereign.

In the end, he also witnessed Yuan's destruction.

The White Bone Tree understood Yuan very well, and had even admired him in the beginning.

But as Yuan trapped it and treated it like an object, that affection had turned into hatred.

Yet today, Yuan's skeletal frame had fallen into its hands.

The hatred in the White Bone Tree's heart slowly faded away.

"Yuan, the grudge between you and me ends here."

The youth sank Yuan's skeletal frame into the ground, and then drew a period to that grievance in his heart.

…………

"Xiao Bai's growth rate has even sped up a little." Zhao Xing could naturally sense the White Bone Tree's complex emotions toward Yuan.

Now that it had let go of its knot, its growth rate was even faster than before.

"This is the power of the heart." Zhao Xing had a sudden realization. "Once the Soul Tower is in hand, I shall go and try the Heart Palace."

…………

When Zhao Xing obtained the Sovereign's Bone Body.

In the inheritance plaza.

The list of items that had been floating in front of the statue suddenly vanished.

"Hm? What is going on?" Asse looked at Yuan's statue. "Why did the list disappear?"

"The list is gone. Could something have gone wrong?"

"No way, what exactly happened?"

Several geniuses resting in the plaza immediately noticed the anomaly.

They then reported the intelligence upward.

The list had disappeared.

This meant that everyone could no longer judge who had obtained the inheritance based on the treasure list.

Fearing an accident, many powerhouses inquired with the three Kings who guarded the Origin Realm.

"Cangyue King, what happened?" Mengbadun frowned and asked. "Why did Yuan's treasure list disappear?"

"Could something have gone wrong?" Xing Tong also asked.

Zhao Xing was still in there undergoing the trials; Xing Tong had been planning to lure this grand-nephew to his own star system once he came out, so nothing could go wrong.

"Luo Hou King, your observational ability is the strongest. Did something go wrong with the folded space?" Lord Pu Ying also inquired.

The powerhouses behind each genius all turned their attention toward them.

Luo Hou King did not understand what had happened either.

Although he was skilled at observation, the data feedback he was receiving at this moment showed no abnormalities.

"Do not panic."

At this moment, the Primordial Envoy walked out and spoke indifferently.

"Everything is as usual; the folded space is unharmed."

"Yes." The powerhouses all set their minds at ease.

As long as the Primordial Envoy said there was no problem, then there was certainly no problem.

However, Luo Hou King vaguely felt that something was wrong.

How did it seem that this situation occurred not long after Zhao Xing entered the eighth level?

"But since the Envoy said there is no problem..."

Luo Hou King shook his head slightly and did not investigate further.

The Primordial Envoy, however, glanced in the direction of the 56th Origin Planet.

He did not announce the fact that Zhao Xing had already passed the eighth level.
