90: The true God has revealed His true form through hidden secrets!

Fortunately, by the time Lu Chen noticed something was wrong,

the girls also reacted very quickly.

Each of them cast a shield to protect themselves,

successfully turning danger into safety.

However, Lu Chen still felt a slight sense of regret.

Tsk, if my physical body had evolved, how great would that be!

Lu Chen leveled up!

At this moment, within his spiritual consciousness,

the System also began to remind him that he could draw a new talent.

—Draw!

Lu Chen didn't hesitate for a second.

Draw first, talk later.

He still had a journey to continue.

Countless experts and countless Demonic Beasts were still waiting for him to feast upon them.

He didn't have so much time to waste here.

【Ding! Extraction successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining—Extinction in a Single Thought!】

A powerful force entered Lu Chen's body.

He immediately gained a skill with a relatively long cooldown,

but it was definitely a BUG-level conceptual Law-based skill.

Extinction in a Single Thought.

It meant exterminating the opponent in a single thought.

But the cost wasn't low either!

It seemed to require consuming a percentage of his Power of the Undead.

It truly was a percentage sacrifice of health to cause a percentage of damage to the enemy.

This was indeed a powerful force.

Moreover, this thing could actually be upgraded.

For the undead, there was no concept of life.

What maintained an undead's existence was the undead's own magic,

that special Power of the Undead!

Lu Chen also discovered that at its maximum level, this skill could even reach a world-ending tier.

However, if he really wanted to develop its world-ending capability,

he would at least need to reach the Divine-Grade!

Otherwise, it simply couldn't be activated.

Extinction in a Single Thought, all things fall into silence!

Such a powerful thing didn't bring Lu Chen much joy,

because the day he could truly exert its full power was too far away for the current Lu Chen.

Keeping his feet on the ground and proceeding step by step

had always been Lu Chen's style of doing things.

So at this moment, he didn't have too many thoughts, but instead faced the Secret Realm ahead and began to consider the matter of the true gods secret treasure.

Shelley saw Lu Chen remaining silent, leading the way with his head down.

At this time, noticing the movement behind her, she quickened her pace to the front and whispered to Lu Chen, "Little Skeleton? There's a tail following us!"

After several major battles,

the girls had all coincidentally come to treat Lu Chen as the core of this team.

They had even accepted Lu Chen's leadership.

If an outsider saw this, it would certainly be unacceptable.

Their jaws would drop to the floor.

Who had ever seen a group of fifth-rank favored daughters of heaven listening to the leadership of a summoned creature, a Little Skeleton Soldier?

Strange things happen every year, but this year is especially full of them.

At least Chu Ye, who was trailing behind, had been unable to accept it.

Lu Chen stopped his pace; the girls had already noticed.

Naturally, they all looked at Lu Chen, hoping to hear his arrangements.

Lu Chen just cracked his bone-white mouth, letting out a chilling laugh, and said, "No rush. They are that prince's people. If they want the true gods secret treasure, then let them follow. If they make a move, that will be our best advantage—capture them and make a big deal with the Chu Dynasty!"

Lu Chen didn't think that just the true gods secret treasure alone could satisfy him.

What he wanted was always insatiable.

As long as he could swallow it, he would take everything back with interest.

Every man for himself, or the heavens will destroy him!

Lu Chen wouldn't care if you were some emperor's son!

Forget being the emperor's son; even if the emperor himself came,

I would still extort him!

I'd still sell you for money.

Lu Chen was also very clear about Chu Jian; what they wanted was for Ning Xiwei to scout the path for them.

Could this group of people be any good?

Every one of them had business in their bellies.

Since it's all business and everyone is a merchant, then things are easy to handle.

Merchants, merchants—they definitely have to sell someone, don't they!

Chu Ye was the best item for sale!

As for the strength of the dozen or so tails behind them, Lu Chen didn't take them seriously at all.

Only Chu Ye, a sixth-rank, could fight.

But he was no longer a match for them here.

Obviously, Chu Ye was also very aware of this, so he never dared to ambush the few of them, nor did he even dare to strike while they were in the middle of the great battle with Reggie and Shaven.

He feared that going for the wool and coming home shorn would result in losing both the bait and the fish.

However, Lu Chen was very contemptuous of Chu Ye's hesitation.

He really wasn't as good as his imperial brother, Chu Jian!

They continued on their way.

Ning Xiwei took this opportunity to ask, 'Little Skeleton, have you completely entered the sixth rank?'

Lu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, 'Yes, I've already entered the sixth rank. If we pass this stage and truly leave the Secret Realm, I feel I can enter the seventh rank.'

Hearing this, Ning Xiwei tilted her head, her finger lightly pressing against her chin as she said with a thoughtful, charming innocence, "If only we could get the true gods secret treasure. A true gods secret treasure is often accompanied by a Spiritual Vein; that Spiritual Vein can definitely be devoured by you!"

"Is that so? Then we must get it."

"Is that it? Little Skeleton, you're very confident!"

"Hahaha, look at our team—we met by chance, yet we are invincible!"

Lu Chen said.

The girls all looked at each other and smiled.

It was indeed so.

A natural chemistry.

And there wasn't a single 'man' among them.

It was quite good.

The only male was a skeleton.

A skeleton can't do anything, right?

Very good!

At this moment, in the sky, that old and calm voice rang out once again.

"Congratulations, trial-takers. That you can step into this place means you possess the strength to challenge the eighth rank. The true gods secret treasure is right ahead; those with the ability will obtain it."

"Here, the Secret Realm will give everyone a chance to rest and reorganize, and will not immediately open the Secret Realm."

"Furthermore, at this time, a teleportation gate will be opened for you."

"If you wish to withdraw, now is your last chance."

"—Because next, the Secret Realm will be completely locked down. Except for the moment it ends, you will be unable to leave!"

This mysterious voice made everything clear.

This made the trial-takers still in the Secret Realm at this moment—

these experts and powerhouses, even those not in this location—

all begin to think carefully.

Should they continue to go one step further,

or leave now?

This was a question,

a matter of life and death!

Lu Chen didn't hesitate, directly ignoring the opened teleportation gate.

He walked straight ahead.

The girls said nothing, following firmly and quietly.

Ning Xiwei even tightened her grip on the magic wand in her hand!

In her beautiful eyes was nothing but confidence in her Little Skeleton.

As long as Little Skeleton was there, nothing was impossible!

...Lu Chen led the girls to a secret passage.

The stone chamber at the end of the passage suddenly opened up, with twelve bronze pillars covered in runes supporting a star map on the dome.

In Lu Chen's hollow eye sockets, the blue Soul Fire flickered as his phalanges brushed over the relief carvings of the four elemental gods on the wall... these were all things left behind from ancient times!

However, the text on them left Lu Chen somewhat confused.

How could it be the ancient script of China from another world?

It was actually oracle bone script!
