35: Heritage

Above the long blade, vital Qi surged, appearing exceptionally terrifying under the dark moon.

As the long blade descended, a sense of oppression immediately swept over, as if to force Li Changkong to his knees.

“Weak Water Art!”

Li Changkong quickly cast a Weak Water Art, which temporarily controlled the Undead Lord.

However, this only bought him time and couldn't cause any substantial damage.

As Li Changkong pondered, an idea came to his mind.

Before him, the Lecturer's Book glowed with a sacred white light.

A ray of light had already controlled the Undead Lord.

The originally terrifying aura had actually weakened a bit compared to before.

“Oh my, it really works!”

Li Changkong's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to hit the mark by chance.

He had just cast the Holy Light Spell, wanting to test if his idea was correct.

This monster before him was an undead, filled with negative and dark auras.

And this Holy Light Spell was a sacred skill, capable of clearing all negative buffs.

Who knew that the Holy Light Spell would have such a great effect on a dark-attributed, undead Physique boss?

A small segment of the Undead Knight's health bar instantly emptied.

Although for his long health bar, this small segment was indeed negligible.

But Li Changkong knew that no matter what, this was considered the first step to success.

Moreover, while the Holy Light Spell dealt damage to the opponent, it could also shackle and slow down the opponent's body.

The Holy Light Spell itself didn't consume too much energy, and its cooldown was extremely short.

So he kept casting the Holy Light Spell while constantly widening the distance.

More than ten minutes later, the Undead Lord before him finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Only then did Li Changkong finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Continuously consuming potions while casting the Holy Light Spell had also caused him to completely use up the few bottles of mana potions he carried.

But no matter what, he had finally dealt with this boss.

As the boss fell, the long blade in his hand dropped.

Li Changkong rubbed his hands, looking at the long blade with great interest.

The Undead Lord itself was a purple boss, so the long blade that dropped was also a Level 30 purple equipment.

"[Name: undead blade]"

"[Rank: 30]"

"[Attributes: Strength +100, Physique +50.]"

"[Skill: Undead Strike: Increases self-strength by three times, dealing armor-piercing damage to the enemy.]"

Unfortunately, Li Changkong had not yet reached Rank 30, so he couldn't equip this Rank 30 equipment.

This undead blade was extremely powerful, both in terms of attributes and skills.

This was the first purple weapon Li Changkong had obtained, so he was naturally very excited.

He had no intention of selling this undead blade; instead, he planned to use it himself.

Although his Rank had not yet reached it, he believed that within the next month, he would definitely be able to reach Rank 30.

After the Undead Lord fell, a passage gradually formed on the ground.

The passage before him looked exceptionally dark from the outside, making it impossible to see what was inside.

He could only make out step after step, seemingly extending downwards.

Li Changkong could feel that there was something extraordinary beneath.

After taking a deep breath, he finally walked down.

Just as he had guessed, the passage was indeed very dim, making it impossible to see what was inside.

However, there were wall lamps on both sides of the passage, barely illuminating the way downwards.

Li Changkong walked down cautiously and soon arrived in an underground palace.

The scale of this underground palace was not too large; it was basically equivalent to a small secret room.

And in the center of the secret room, there was a stone statue, dressed exactly like the headless knight outside.

The only difference was that this stone statue before him had a head.

From its appearance, it looked heroic and awe-inspiring, full of righteousness, completely different from the undead outside.

“Could this be the treasure?”

Looking at the stone statue before him, Li Changkong was somewhat dumbfounded.

If this stone statue was the treasure, it would really take some effort to move it back.

Just as Li Changkong was contemplating how to take the stone statue away, the ground began to tremble slightly.

As the ground trembled, the stone statue before him gradually cracked open.

The stone statue, which had originally appeared very hard, now shattered into pieces on the ground.

Immediately after, a faint soul appeared before Li Changkong.

This soul was the stone statue; it seemed to be the soul within the statue.

“My Legacy?”

The stone statue's gaze swept over Li Changkong, and he frowned.

From his eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction could be seen.

“What Legacy?”

Li Changkong was slightly startled.

“It has been many years since anyone came here, but you don't seem suitable to be my Legacy.”

The soul looked Li Changkong up and down, then sighed.

Hearing this, Li Changkong quickly waved his hand: “Don't be like that, I think I'm quite suitable. It wasn't easy to clear this, so there's no benefit at all?”

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to pass on, since he had come all this way, he had to take something back.

“You are not suitable for my profession. If you want to accept my Legacy, the first thing you must do is abandon your current profession.”

“Moreover, I sense a trace of the Heavenly Dao's aura on you, which is even stronger than mine.”

The soul shook his head before speaking.

“Then forget it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Changkong quickly shook his head.

Although he didn't know what profession the soul was passing on, he was certain that it was definitely not as good as his current profession.

“Alright, kid, can you help me find my Legacy?”

The soul's gaze fixed on Li Changkong as he slowly spoke.

“Legacy?” Li Changkong was slightly startled, then a smile appeared: “Finding a Legacy will probably take a lot of time, and I'm quite busy.”

From his smile, the soul understood his meaning.

“What benefits do you want? I am currently in a remnant soul state, so I have nothing tangible to give you.”

The soul said helplessly.

“If there's no physical object, a skill would be barely acceptable.”

Li Changkong pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Skill.” The soul was silent for a moment, then agreed: “Alright, that's no problem.”

The soul raised a hand, and a white light vanished into Li Changkong's mind.

At this moment, Li Changkong felt as if he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Corpses lay all around, and the air seemed to be filled with the scent of blood.

The sky seemed to be stained white with blood, and before him, there were overwhelming numbers of monsters.
