Chapter 259: Stone Mutation

"Remember you... violate... kill you." The blurred black figure's scarlet eyes flashed with a trace of fierce light, and it stuttered.

"You and I are one now. As long as we can open the treasure vault tomorrow, then everything will not be a problem." The old monk replied with a smile.

"Tomorrow... before... fail." The blurred black figure said again.

"It did fail before, but this time it definitely won't."

"Calculate the time, this little monk is almost Jialan Shangren's last reincarnation. After all, that bit of true spirit will be constantly worn away during such a long wait."

"In that case, plus me and other reincarnations, it should be almost enough to gather most of Jialan Shangren's true spirit aura." The old monk said slowly.

"Last... chance." The blurred black figure's eyes flashed with blood light and said.

"Yes, this is naturally our last chance. Although this Renlei body can be replaced, it's almost at its end."

"You are the same. After such a long time, if you still can't find your demon core, I'm afraid you will soon be turned to ashes." The old monk said lightly. Then, before the blurred black shadow could say anything else, he continued:

"Fortunately, this kid named Kang Wuhen has already temporarily refined the soul aura of other reincarnations into himself through essence blood and secret techniques. If it still doesn't work tomorrow, at worst, we will use this little monk for blood sacrifice. The success probability is at least seventy percent, which is enough for us to gamble everything." The old monk replied calmly.

"Good... wait... tomorrow..." The blurred black figure nodded, stepped back, and its figure plunged into the air and disappeared without a trace.

The old monk still held the scroll, standing in place without moving, seemingly falling into some distant memory again.

……

Outside the temple ruins, outside the huge blood-colored curtain.

More than three hundred demonic disciples all gathered at the same location.

Above these demonic disciples, on a giant bone throne with rolling black Qi, sat the four-armed giant white bone skeleton. Beside it, however, stood a fat, round-faced youth wearing Joyous Palace attire, but with a dejected look.

"Little fellow, what does this dejected look of yours mean? Don't tell me you really think that because I know your ancestor, I wouldn't dare to kill you." The four-armed giant skeleton turned its head and buzzed at the round-faced fat man.

"How would junior dare to think so?"

"There are quite a few disciples in our Pei family. Junior is just the most useless one of this generation. Senior Tiangu knows my ancestor, so how would you be the same as junior?" The fat youth hurriedly put away the dejected look on his face and replied carefully with his head lowered.

"Hmph, the most useless one!"

"Pei Laomo has shown off in front of me several times, saying that among his descendants, there is a genius with the talent of a Machine Heart, who can manipulate several ranked puppets to kill enemies easily while only in the Qi Refinement stage, and even asked me to take good care of you after entering this time." The giant skeleton's eyes flashed with light and said.

"Thank you, senior, for your kindness. But junior doesn't need any care, as long as you are willing to let junior leave here." The fat youth replied with a forced smile upon hearing this.

"That won't do. How can I go back on what I promised? Furthermore, I am currently lacking manpower by my side. Since I found you, then you just honestly stay by my side and serve." The giant skeleton said coldly.

"By the way, some time ago, Pei Laomo spent a high price at an auction to buy a pseudo-second-rank puppet. It was prepared specifically for you, right?"

"I remember it was a tiger-shaped puppet imitated after a second-rank fire tiger. If all its functions are fully opened, it should be able to exert second-rank power, right?" The giant skeleton asked coldly.

"Senior Tiangu has sharp eyes. That tiger-shaped puppet is indeed on junior. If we stake everything on one throw, it can indeed exert a bit of second-rank power, but it only has one strike of power. After using it, this puppet will..."

The fat youth replied with a bitter smile upon hearing this, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the giant skeleton waving its hand:

"As long as it can exert second-rank power, that's enough. Later, I will summon a third-rank magic treasure projection for one strike. By then, you and the others cooperate with me. Although the formation in front is profound, third-rank power should be enough to forcibly break it."

"Tonight, everyone recover your magic power well. Tomorrow, gather some more manpower, and tomorrow everyone follow this ancestor to break the formation."

The last sentence suddenly turned into a huge roaring sound in the high sky.

"Follow the ancestor's decree."

Hearing this, the demonic disciples below all responded respectfully.

……

Several hours later.

Wang Yu stood beneath a giant mountain rock, looking up at a batch of flying birds tied with small bottles of essence blood flying in all directions. Only then did he feel at ease, shook his sleeve, released a white bone boat, and rose into the air directly.

Along this journey, he was afraid of being tracked again, so every time he flew for a distance, he would release a batch of flying birds carrying essence blood to confuse the demonic cultivators.

At this moment, after the bone boat flew over a small dense forest in front, the scenery in front changed, turning into a region of continuous tall mountain ranges.

Seeing this, Wang Yu was happy in his heart.

He seemed to have arrived at the edge of the central area of the secret realm. After flying for another period of time, he would be able to leave this area completely.

Only then did he truly let out a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, a "weng weng" sound came from a certain storage bag of his.

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, then grabbed into the storage bag with one hand, and an oval-shaped smooth stone appeared in his palm.

It was exactly the object he had found casually at the water pool where he collected Blood Origin Mushrooms.

This stone was milky white on the surface, but had wisps of blood color. But at this moment, it was blooming with waves of red light, and at the same time, the temperature on its surface was rising rapidly, turning incomparably hot in the blink of an eye.

This bit of temperature was unbearable for ordinary people, but for Wang Yu, who practiced fire spirit techniques, it naturally didn't count as anything.

He showed a look of surprise, checking this object carefully over and over again.

As a result, the next moment, the red light on the surface of the milky white stone converged, the humming stopped, and at the same time, the temperature on its body dropped rapidly, turning incomparably cold in a short moment.

This thing seems extraordinary!

Seeing this, Wang Yu's heart moved. After checking the surface of the stone several times carefully and still finding nothing, he simply closed his five fingers and squeezed hard with force.

"Peng," a muffled sound.

When his five fingers separated, five deep finger marks actually appeared on the surface of the milky white stone, but they disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Yu didn't believe in evil. After taking a deep breath, his arm suddenly thickened by a section, and he squeezed with his five fingers with force again.

"Peng."

Five deeper finger marks appeared on the surface of the milky white stone, but after a few breaths of time, they recovered as before again.

Wang Yu's eyes flashed with crystal light, activated overclocking mode, and scanned the inside of the stone with spiritual sense again.

As a result, the spiritual sense power was blocked outside, unable to probe into the interior of the stone at all.

It seems it really is a good thing!

Wang Yu played with the stone in his hand, couldn't help but ponder in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
