I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World
Chapter 1092 - 720: The Fourth Reincarnation
Overpowering amounts of experience points were absorbed by Zhang Chen. Instead of looking at the Golden Finger interface, he kept his eyes fixed on the tombstone, observing the changes in the tomb before him.
Unfortunately, while there were experience points falling here, no skills were dropping.
Golden light flickered in Zhang Chen’s eyes, trying to glimpse the secrets of the tombstone, but after watching for a while, he still couldn’t see any issues.
"I wonder if the Yama Authority can reveal anything." Zhang Chen pondered to himself, then applied the Yama Authority, carefully sensing the tombstone before him, but still couldn’t detect anything unusual.
Nearby, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon seemed to know what Zhang Chen was thinking and spoke: "This Ancient Divine Demon Tomb is buried ten thousand feet deep, beyond the range of your Divine Techniques sensing. To investigate everything inside, you must penetrate the tomb yourself to see."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen hesitated internally. Truth be told, if it’s not necessary, he didn’t want to invite trouble, considering all those old beings are not easy to deal with.
"To have confronted the Princess and not had the tomb destroyed by her, that must be a terrifying entity indeed." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, hesitating and unwilling to approach.
"Although I currently possess skills of the eleventh tier, the gap with that old being is indeed too vast. That fellow surpasses the twelfth tier, and if I engage, any mishap might lead to death and the dissolution of my Dao. Even if I have the Ice Domain preventing death, being sealed would be troublesome." Zhang Chen felt inclined to retreat, but just as he considered it, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Grinding Disc suddenly shuddered slightly, the Six Paths of Reincarnation atop quivering gently.
Zhang Chen’s steps halted, suddenly turning to look at the skeleton below: "Looks like I can’t resist exploring."
He mastered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, having collected three by now, and with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc resonating, it indicated the presence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation beneath the tombstone.
"These Ancient Divine Spirits, why do they all like to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation to suppress auras? A proper Six Paths of Reincarnation, torn apart by them, leaving the world filled with fragmented souls, unable to reincarnate. These ancient gods are truly deserving of death." Zhang Chen gazed at the yellow sand below, contemplating how he could retrieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Chen thought he should check the caliber of this Ancient Divine Demon. If the opponent could be directly marked by his Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill, it would save a lot of trouble. If not, it might complicate matters for him.
"Authority of Earth Element!"
Zhang Chen invoked the Authority of Earth Element, and the ground split open with a fissure ten meters wide and fifty meters deep beneath him.
Even after tearing the earth fifty meters deep, Zhang Chen still didn’t see any signs of the tomb, only the tombstone remained standing there.
Strangely enough, the tombstone was indeed peculiar; as Zhang Chen exerted his Divine Techniques and tore the ground, the tombstone actively shrank to the bottom of the pit, leaving only ten meters visible.
"This tombstone seems noteworthy." Zhang Chen’s eyes scanned the tombstone, then he too descended to the pit bottom, once more unleashing the Earth Element Authority to continue tearing the ground apart.
With each rip by Zhang Chen, the tombstone shrunk, and Zhang Chen’s sensing of the qi mechanism of reincarnation grew increasingly acute. He could sense himself drawing closer to that reincarnation mechanism.
Finally, after digging ten thousand meters deep, the pit bottom revealed bricks neatly arranged. The bricks were black, as dark as ink like black jade, inscribed with mysterious and inscrutable runes, a mysterious aura flowing within.
"What a grand display! This is Innate Material, jade nurtured in death, with each piece symbolizing the life of a Divine Demon-level powerhouse." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon beside Zhang Chen exclaimed: "The being buried here is no ordinary entity; its power absolutely exceeds our imagination. You should hurry and back away. While the Princess’s cultivation isn’t bad, she suffered greatly at the hands of this tomb’s owner, whose strength far surpasses hers."
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Chen inquired.
"Just look at those pieces of jade; at the very least, they’re the life-essence of twelfth-tier entities. How large is this tomb? How many pieces of jade are needed?" the Great Freedom Celestial Demon asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen inhaled sharply, his eyes filled with dread. A twelfth tier!?
What does the twelfth tier represent?
In the novels and records of the previous life, after surviving the Three Calamities of fire, wind, and thunder, one would achieve an Immortal Body, equivalent to the eleventh tier in this world.
In other words, they become Immortals!
The eleventh tier should equate to the realm after achieving Immortality, but what kind of Immortal?
Having just cultivated the Primordial Spirit, Zhang Chen found the Immortal Dao classification still unclear, but he believed the twelfth tier could certainly rival Immortals in novels, though what realm of Immortal is uncertain, but definitely not an ordinary Immortal.
But now they have been turned into brick materials, built into the bricks and tiles on the grand tomb, which is simply astonishing.
However, Zhang Chen’s eyes also lit up at this moment; each of these bricks is the essence of an Immortal. If he can devour them all, wouldn’t he directly max out all his skills?
"This grand tomb has immense potential. Whether it’s the legendary Six Paths of Reincarnation or the wall bricks before me, they’re both supreme Creations for me." Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a burning heat, staring fixedly at the entrance beneath the tombstone. Meanwhile, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon beside him was frightened and anxious: "Kid, let’s hurry and leave! I always feel something’s not right here, as if something extremely terrifying is buried there."
"What is there to fear? Keeping life and death lightly in the mind, fight if you want! At worst, I’ll just escape from the Fifth Heaven and never come back again. Could he then pursue me into the Material Realm?" Zhang Chen thought dismissively.
With treasures before him, he must give it a try, or how could he be resigned?
At worst, he could escape into the Material Realm; could they really come after him through the internet?
Zhang Chen’s mind was filled with various thoughts, his gaze falling on the grand front gate. He could see that Innate Restrictions were flowing on the tomb’s gate.
The grand gate of the tomb stood ten meters high, with various mysterious forces flickering inside, Innate Restrictions linking the gate, linking each brick, making them a unified whole.
"This gate is not simple." Zhang Chen looked at those mysterious runes flickering on the black gate, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
"This gate is not something you can open. We should hurry and retreat." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon spoke again from beside him, advising.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon upon hearing his words: "You underestimate me too much."
"All Earth Veins within the Fifth Heaven of the Spiritual World have been seized by this grand tomb; your most powerful method is just the Nine Bends Yellow River Array, but it needs to be arranged on an Earth Vein. Now that the world’s Earth Veins are seized, you don’t even have the opportunity to set up the array." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon mumbled.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon upon hearing his words: "You’re right, but my methods are by no means as simple as you think."
"What if I carve a hole in the grand tomb and then send the Water Bear into the tomb, what would happen?" Zhang Chen asked.
"That existence must exceed the Twelfth Tier; if your Water Bear dares to sneak in, it will surely die." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon denied Zhang Chen’s assumption.
"Water Bear won’t work? Then... I also want to give it a try!" Zhang Chen declared.
The main thing is he must retrieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation; without retrieving the Six Paths of Reincarnation, how could he be willing to leave?
Zhang Chen gazed at the gate, seeing Innate Forbidden Techniques flowing on it, countless thoughts deducing in his mind, trying to figure out a way to enter the grand tomb.
Zhang Chen scanned all his skills, finding apart from the Devouring Skill, there truly wasn’t a suitable method to sneak in.
The gate was tightly shut without a single gap; Zhang Chen couldn’t even turn into water vapor to sneak in unless he used the Divine Techniques to devour open a seam. Alternatively, Zhang Chen could directly use the power of the Sea of Blood to wield the Bloodstain technique against the gate before him.
"If I use the power of Bloodstain, the commotion would be too big; the existence within the tomb just battled the Princess, probably has yet to fall into slumber, if I cause too much commotion, they will surely target me." Zhang Chen thought and summoned the mouthparts of the Innate Mosquito, then opened the Eye of Devouring, scrutinizing the gate before him. With just a glance, he saw the origin of the Innate Restrictions flowing on the gate, those invisible Laws of Heaven and Earth flowing, each thread containing terrifying power.
"Great Creation indeed." Zhang Chen quietly moved the Innate Mosquito’s mouthparts towards the gap where those countless law threads flowed, attempting to follow that gap, avoiding the flowing threads to explore the depths of the tomb. But unexpectedly, as soon as his Innate Mosquito mouthparts approached the gate, the next moment, the thread rules inside the gate flickered slightly, directly sweeping away Zhang Chen’s Innate Mosquito mouthparts. Then the gate vibrated slightly, even bouncing Zhang Chen’s Innate Mosquito’s mouthparts.
"Hmm?" Outside the tomb, Zhang Chen opened his eyes, startled: "My Innate Mosquito mouthparts can be bounced away? It’s simply inconceivable!"
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; the threads seemed to possess some inexplicable spirituality. As soon as Zhang Chen’s Innate Mosquito mouthparts slightly probed into them, they had already been bounced back by those rhythmic rules.
"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!" Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a shocked expression.
"Even Innate Mosquito has limits; otherwise, it would have long dominated the world, devouring all realms, how could it be manipulated by you?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said beside him: "If you truly wish to break open that gate, you must first suppress the flowing rules, not allow them to interfere with the Innate Mosquito mouthparts."
"Suppress the rule flow power of the gate?" Zhang Chen pondered.
