89: Lu Chen entered the sixth rank and devoured the heart of a powerful enemy.

Shaven felt like the world was playing a cruel joke on him.

Was he really going to fall at the hands of a mere Skeleton Soldier today?

How could this be possible?

Such a massive humiliation!

He, Shaven, would not accept it!

At this thought, Shaven bit the tip of his tongue.

He began to use his life Origin to fuel a powerful spell!

"You wretched girls, this old man will risk everything against you today!"

Shaven erupted with powerful shadow energy.

Commanding his Bone Dragon, he engaged in a chaotic battle with Ning Xiwei and the others.

As for Reggie, there was no need for words.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Chen and Ignis.

Specifically Lu Chen; Reggie knew very well.

As long as he killed the Skeleton Soldier, these girls would surely be doomed.

It was time to bring out his trump card!

"Boy, do you see this? This is a body bestowed by the council. I possess power far greater than yours. Although you are quite mysterious, beneath a body like this—akin to the Descent of the Thunder God—your bones are much weaker than even flesh and blood!"

Changing his tone, Reggie sneered and proposed, "Why don't you submit to me? I can find a body of flesh and blood for you too, allowing you to become human and enjoy the beauties of this world. Why bother Cultivating all the way to a Skeleton King just to manifest flesh? That's a distant hope, no different from trying to climb to the heavens. You're an intelligent person with a mind of your own; why not cooperate?"

Reggie had some wits, first using his strength and trump cards to intimidate.

Then, he followed up by offering an olive branch that was hard to refuse.

This combo was truly a well-calculated plan!

Unfortunately, Lu Chen wasn't buying it.

He only wanted to devour the clown in front of him.

And swallow his power.

Only children make choices; adults want it all.

Why cooperate?

It's all mine!

No one is getting away.

"Too much nonsense. Once I kill you, everything will be mine!"

Lu Chen cursed arrogantly.

Pointing his bone saber at Reggie, he grinned ferociously. "Bring it on. I'm going to eat you and devour your magic, haha!"

Reggie was furious upon hearing this.

He never expected a tiny sixth-rank skeleton to be so unafraid of him.

This was the ultimate insult to him.

"Hmph, I'll see today whether you devour my magic or I turn you into bone soup! — Thunderstorm Barrier!"

Reggie displayed his formidable power.

He instantly expanded a massive Thunderstorm Barrier.

Enveloping everyone within it.

Then, as he pointed his sword toward the ground,

The Thunderstorm Barrier suddenly contracted.

The intense pressure made it hard for the mortal girls to breathe, while lightning continuously rained down from the sky.

Bolts of lightning chased after them one by one.

Shelley used her magic to condense an ice coffin to shield the three girls.

However, it vaporized instantly under the extreme heat of the lightning.

The instantaneous temperature of lightning was more terrifying than magma.

And hotter than fire.

Morning Dew quickly stabbed her healing staff into her palm, gushing out glowing golden blood. With a wave of her hand, it instantly transformed into a barrier of light. "In the name of the Moon God! Protect us!"

Although this protected everyone for the moment, Shaven followed up by intensifying his assault.

He struck Morning Dew's light shield again and again.

Seeing this, Lu Chen directly pushed his Soul Fire to a golden hue.

—Exerting the full power of the Sixth Rank Peak!

When Reggie's Thunderstorm Punch shattered the barrier,

Lu Chen charged straight through the storm and reached Reggie!

"How is this possible?"

Reggie could not hide his shock!

He watched helplessly as a right hand, newly grown with flesh, pierced directly through his mechanical chest cavity.

Undead flames surged through the circuits in reverse, causing Reggie's eyes to flicker wildly!

Like a malfunctioning machine.

"Aaaagh, I'll kill you! Self-destruct... bzzzt..."

Lu Chen shoved Ignis away. "Get back!"

Then, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly turned a brilliant gold.

At that moment, Ignis used her whip to pull Lu Chen away.

The instant she pulled him back, Reggie's body expanded into a sphere of lightning.

Amidst an explosion powerful enough to vaporize mountains, everyone saw Lu Chen transform into a giant skeleton the size of a small hill.

He stood as a shield before them all!

—The invincible skeleton!

He could tank, fight, deal damage, and provide crowd control.

When the smoke cleared, the girls slumped against each other, and the light shield in front of them slowly dissipated.

Ignis reverted to her normal human form and tore off her charred breastplate, revealing red skin scorched by magic!

Ignis cursed, "These scumbags all have a small magic explosive inside them!"

Shelley saw Shaven turn tail and run!

She didn't pursue him.

Because Lu Chen hadn't moved.

She simply walked to the wreckage of Reggie's body and used ice crystal tweezers to pull a magic heart from the mechanical remains. "This is a good item. Do you need it, Little Skeleton?"

The surface of this magic heart was engraved with the same Ancient Elven script as the bronze compass.

"Morning Dew is injured! Little Skeleton!"

Ning Xiwei's anxious voice called out.

Lu Chen turned his head.

He saw the priestess Morning Dew's healing spell suddenly fail.

Only then did he notice that black blood was seeping from a puncture wound in her chest.

"It's Shaven's shadow magic..."

As Lu Chen spoke, he tore open the priestess robe and pressed his lips to Morning Dew's wound.

A special magical power flowed through the tip of his tongue into her blood vessels, causing the girl to let out an embarrassed moan.

Ning Xiwei suddenly pressed on his shoulder. "Let me do it!"

The moment the Undead Healing Art dripped into the wound, unique patterns surfaced beneath Morning Dew's skin.

Ignis watched the three of them with interest. "It seems our Little Skeleton is quite popular."

She deliberately pressed her scorched back against Lu Chen's chest. "I'm injured too!"

The unique nature of the Flame Demon actually created a strange resonance with Lu Chen's Undead Flame.

Shelley then pressed an ice spike against Ignis's back, warning, "Don't mess around. Flame Demons are dangerous; don't harm him. We still need to get out of here together!"

The ruins of the thunderstorm suddenly shook violently.

Lu Chen clutched his throbbing forehead.

Suddenly, he realized something.

He seemed to have sensed the true gods secret treasure.

It was a very familiar feeling.

He had felt this same way before he Transmigrated in his previous life.

He had Transmigrated to this world and become a Little Skeleton.

Was it all predestined?

Or was this not his first Transmigration at all?

Could it be that he originally belonged to this world?

This was a feeling of reunion after a long separation for Lu Chen.

It was as if the aura of the true gods secret treasure was very familiar to him!

Had he Transmigrated back?

Lu Chen had too many questions in his heart at this moment.

Meanwhile, the four girls were chatting idly.

As they continued their journey, the four girls seemed to gradually become friends.

But the way they looked at Lu Chen was a bit off.

They had only just entered the next Secret Realm area; why had their gazes changed?

Lu Chen was puzzled.

There's a powerful enemy before us.

Why are you looking at me?

What can I do as a Little Skeleton?

I'm just a damn skeleton!

I don't even have a 'Diao'!

Even if you look at me now, I can't eat you!

Shelley's face was incredibly red; she seemed to understand why her Family had sent her to the East this time.

She was supposed to find someone who could save the Family, but how could it be a skeleton?

How could a skeleton do those things?

And how could it save the Family? Wasn't this a joke?

Lu Chen was actually even more confused.

Because he sensed something wrong with the scent in the air.

Damn it!

It's that!

The script is starting, isn't it?

God, are you playing with me?!
