95: Obtain the secret manual and ascend to the seventh rank! Transform into flesh and blood!

The moment the Holy Light Shackles and the flame whips intertwined, they wove a net of light and shadow before the void vortex.

Shelley's ice crystal staff stabbed into the ground as the Absolute Zero Domain rapidly spread along the light net, freezing the vortex into a momentary physical form.

Seeing that something was wrong, they each unleashed their skills.

Little Skeleton was their pillar of support.

How could they let anything happen to him?

Little Skeleton was also quite bold!

To actually dare to touch such a tome directly.

They all felt a power transcending humanity within this tome!

—That was Divine Power.

The true power of the Law!

The Soul Fire reignited in Lu Chen's eye sockets, this time a pale white streaked with gold.

His battered bone palm pressed against the surface of the frozen vortex as abyssal material poured through the ice crystal fissures: "Xiwei, lend me your mana!"

"Alright, Little Skeleton!"

Ning Xiwei responded by transforming her magic wand into a sharp sword; the moment the blade cut her wrist, a grayish-purple power dripped onto the ground along with her blood.

Accompanied by her soft chanting!

As the first note exploded in the Void Realm, Ning Xiwei, completely disregarding herself, poured all her mana into Lu Chen's body.

A powerful flow of magic surged continuously toward Lu Chen.

Forming a vortex of mana.

Within the vortex, Lu Chen's pale palm suddenly trembled violently, and the Sapphire Ring he had just obtained burst with a defiant glow.

"Hmph, I don't care whose you were; you're mine now!"

Lu Chen sensed the ring's resistance.

He immediately began to corrode it!

"Now!" Lu Chen shouted!

Shelley's ice spikes had already pierced the weakened space-time barrier.

Morning Dew's Holy Light chains took the opportunity to bind the phantom wrist!

Ignis's flames also burned upward along the chains.

Xiwei's magical music notes turned into a vortex, willingly providing support to Lu Chen.

The golden tome suddenly flipped to the last page on its own, and a 3D projection of Earth emerged from the burning pages.

The red dot deep in the ocean was pulsing, resonating with the golden compass that had reappeared on Lu Chen's breastplate.

Ignis's cheeks, marked with magma patterns, twisted slightly. "This thing counters me!... I heard it—a cry for help? Am I hallucinating?"

Shelley's ice-blue long hair moved without wind, frost flowers condensing at the tips. "I'm seeing hallucinations; it's like my friends from back home are sending out cries for help! They're calling for me to save them!"

Morning Dew's Divine Staff cast moving spots of light on the ground: "The power of the prophecy of the Holy City Noah protects us..."

Morning Dew began casting resistance buffs on everyone.

But at that same moment, she also heard and saw her own sect calling out to her for help.

Lu Chen heard the women's words.

His gaze sharpened!

This thing really is extraordinary.

It can actually call for help?

Then it's even more mine!

So what if it belongs to a god?

It belongs to whoever is capable!

Coming to the Secret Realm this time was precisely for this true gods secret treasure.

Lu Chen's finger bones brushed across the torn pages of the tome, and the burning ashes reorganized into a bone saber in his palm!

Lu Chen looked at the secret tome and said, "The true gods secret treasure is mine!"

Having said that, he turned around, pulsing mana visible between his ribs that hadn't yet fully repaired.

Lu Chen looked at the murals here and said, "This Secret Realm is something from thirty thousand years ago. Someone left a space-time formation here! It seems it was meant to prevent anyone from seizing this treasure."

Ning Xiwei walked over and grabbed the skeleton's wrist; she only relaxed after confirming that the contract rune had reappeared between them.

"You knew all along? After all, you can understand those murals." Ning Xiwei held Lu Chen's hand, her fingers sinking deep into the gaps of his bones as she asked, "From the moment we arrived here, you've been walking into this formation step by step of your own accord. Are you really not afraid?"

"My School Beauty Young Miss!" The pale Soul Fire in Lu Chen's eye sockets suddenly softened. The address made Ning Xiwei's whole body stiffen. "When we came to the Secret Realm, it was our destiny to obtain this thing. How could we return empty-handed?"

Lu Chen turned his bone palm over, pressing Xiwei's hand into his own.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so lovey-dovey!" Ignis suddenly stepped between them, her burning palm directly separating their contact. "Is now the time? What are you doing! Don't use sweet talk to bewitch your contract master, Mr. Little Skeleton!"

The Flame Demon Girl's vertical pupils stared at Lu Chen's exposed skeletal body. "By the way, why do I feel like I hear the sound of a heart beating? How can you have life fluctuations?"

Shelley's ice crystal earrings chimed crisply once again.

She looked around with some concern.

Why is there still danger?

Lu Chen's joints made a crisp sound as they reorganized, and abyssal material re-covered his body. "Everyone, we have more pressing matters now."

He pointed to the collapsing dome of the Secret Realm. "This space will be annihilated in seven minutes, and the exit—"

A deafening dragon roar interrupted him. The burning ashes of the tome gradually summoned and condensed a Bone Dragon from the Void Realm.

Lu Chen's golden compass spun rapidly, pulling the abyssal material into chains!

With a swish, they lashed out to bind the Bone Dragon!

"F*ck! Is there no end to this!"

Lu Chen cursed loudly.

He quickly commanded the girls, "Ignis, attack the weak point of the jaw. Shelley, freeze the left wing joints. Morning Dew, prepare a Holy Blast. Xiwei..." He paused for half a second. "You've consumed a lot of mana. Stay to the side and protect yourself. Trust me!"

Ning Xiwei's magic wand, transformed into a magic sword, drew a cross-shaped starlight in the air as Netherfire traveled up the elemental chains.

She wasn't willing to just stand by and watch!

As the Bone Dragon spat its Death Breath, Lu Chen suddenly appeared behind Ning Xiwei, his semi-solidified palm wrapping around her sword-wielding hand.

The double-layered Netherfire Slash split the dragon breath and carved a sword mark deep into the marrow of the Bone Dragon's skull.

"Good coordination." Lu Chen's jawbone drew close to Ning Xiwei's ear, the warm breath causing goosebumps to rise on the side of her neck.

This skeleton, who shouldn't have breath, now carried a strange vitality.

Little Skeleton seems more like a human?

"Huh!!! You've reached the seventh rank!"

Ning Xiwei suddenly seemed to discover some startling fact.

She asked in a daze!

Her eyes were full of disbelief toward Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled slightly. "Isn't that good?"

Yes!

Lu Chen had reached the seventh rank!

One Secret Realm, and he was practically ascending.

Ignis's Flame Spear took the opportunity to pierce the sword mark gap, followed closely by Shelley's Frost Blast.

As Morning Dew's Holy Runes lit up in the gaps of the dragon's bones, Lu Chen suddenly pushed Ning Xiwei away, away from the center of the blast!

"Everyone, now!"

Lu Chen shouted and leaped up suddenly.

The collision of Netherfire and Holy Light produced an annihilation effect, and the Bone Dragon turned to dust in the interlacing black and white light.

Splattering dragon bone fragments grazed a patch of flesh that had just grown on Lu Chen's cheek, leaving a bleeding wound—bright red, human blood.

"You..." Morning Dew's healing spell instinctively enveloped him, and this time it wasn't rejected.

The Priestess's fingers brushed over the gradually healing wound, the Holy Light reflecting Lu Chen's faintly visible handsome face.

That was Lu Chen's appearance from his previous life, before his Transmigration.
