Chapter 325, An Unawakened Ancient God?
by SilavinTranslator: Silavin
This enormous Bone Dragon was not actually a Divine Bone Flying Dragon, but rather something called ‘Divine Bone Clone’.
It was a Level 90 Epic Grade Monster (Nightmare). Although it was only 5 Levels higher than a Hell Demon, its Attributes were several times higher!
This was not surprising. While Level 90 did not seem that different from Level 85, this was the boundary between a Human being able to have their Third Profession or Fourth Profession.
Though Monsters did not have such tiers to their Professions, some might not even have Professions at all. Nevertheless, at Level 90, there was still a watershed difference in power.
The Divine Bone Clone before them had power exceeding that of all Nine Hell Demons combined. Such a terrifying existence would have been impossible for Lu Fan to face before entering the National Trial Secret Realm.
However, right now, Lu Fan was vastly different from before.
He had reached Level 44. He also possessed two Mythical Grade Items, and had six Pet Dragons! Even going head-to-head with this Level 90 Epic Grade Monster was not an impossible task. In fact, Lu Fan was not even the least bit afraid!
What truly concerned Lu Fan was not this Boss’s strength, but rather its description.
Description: A remarkable being slumbers here, revered in ancient times as ‘Divine Bone’, with the history of world domination.
As eras passed, Divine Bone slowly awakens, its stirring power seeking ways to fully revive. This power had begun to cause subtle changes to the environment, where its main body lies. All Monsters around it are under its control, gathering together to form its clone. Through this clone, Divine Bone’s power will gradually recover, transforming this place into a ruin while controlling all the intelligent creatures it can. They would be turned into slaves, who will exhaust themselves for this revered being, even sacrifice their lives for Divine Bone’s complete revival… |
Ordinary people would be bewildered by this description. However, Lu Fan instantly understood what this so-called ‘Divine Bone’ was.
[An awakening Ancient God!]
He never expected to encounter another Ancient God here. Counting the previous Fallen Corpse Ancient God and Holy Mountain Ancient God, this Divine Bone Ancient God was the third Ancient God he had encountered.
However, unlike the Holy Mountain Ancient God and Fallen Corpse Ancient God, this Divine Bone Ancient God had clearly awakened much later.
At least the Fallen Corpse Ancient God and Holy Mountain Ancient God had already developed their own ruins, and had the ability to create Ancient God Slaves to help them further awaken.
Yet, the Divine Bone Ancient God had not yet transformed the Divine Bone Forest into the ‘Divine Bone Ruins’. In fact, it had only just managed to form a body, called the Divine Bone Clone.
This Level 90 Epic Grade Boss was its created clone, and it definitely seemed formidable.
However, Lu Fan had seen a glimpse of the true power of the Fallen Corpse Ancient God. That Ancient God not only had the Blood Moon’s Owner pulling its coffin, but that black shadow that had chased after Lu Fan. Though he had not clearly seen that figure that chased him, just its aura alone had made him feel such danger that he had immediately fled.
In comparison, this Divine Bone Ancient God seemed far too inferior.
Lu Fan even had a thought. [Would it be possible to try to kill it here, while the Divine Bone Ancient God has only awakened a small portion of its power? If I can really manage to kill an Ancient God, the Experience Points Rewarded would be astronomical, right?]
Thinking of this, Lu Fan could not help but get excited.
Just then, Han Ke suddenly exclaimed. “Lu Fan, quickly look, it’s Teacher Gu Han!”
Lu Fan looked in the direction Han Ke was pointing at. Sure enough, as the Divine Bone Clone’s enormous body gradually rose up, the flat ground beneath was revealed. Under the white bone mountain were some scattered bones, which clearly did not belong to the Divine Bone Clone. Among these scattered bones, they could see the unconscious Gu Han.
Gu Han was currently trapped in a small space formed by overlapping bones. Perhaps, after being teleported here, she had been surrounded by bones, under the Divine Bone Clone’s body, trapped in a ‘cage’, unable to move.
Although her life was not in any immediate danger, the long period without water and food had caused her to faint.
Seeing how she was still breathing, Lu Fan knew she was not in immediate danger.
[Okay, in that case, we just needed to rescue her and give her some water and food.] After seeing Gu Han, Lu Fan could finally lift that weight off his shoulders.
Now, it seemed like they just needed to kill the Divine Bone Clone to rescue Gu Han.
“Auntie, all of you, step back. Don’t come close. This Boss is extremely powerful. So, I’ll kill it myself. Just make sure none of you get caught in the crossfire.” Lu Fan first took out Underworld Serpent’s Cry while waving his hand, indicating everyone to step back.
Everyone obediently retreated, still under the influence of Jade Shield, clearly leaving the battlefield entirely to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan did not hesitate. He knew this battle would definitely be a tough one. The difficulty would be no less than his first fight with the Diabolical Hell Demon.
So, from the start, he had Xiao Cui apply full Buffs to all the Pet Dragons, and also used Jade Mirror Image on everyone.
Instantly, their numbers increased by five times, and their overall strength increased about three times.
Through Appraisal, Lu Fan could see this Divine Bone Clone’s Attributes were continuously increasing.
[The main reason is probably because Monsters kept flying in from all directions, merging into its body. Each time more Monsters merged into its body, its Attributes would increase. If this continued, perhaps this clone’s Level and Grade would keep rising. It might even become a Level 100+ Mythical Grade Boss…]
Lu Fan naturally would not grant it this opportunity. He immediately prepared to attack before it could grow stronger.
Just as Lu Fan was about to signal his Dragons to attack, a voice suddenly exploded in his mind, “Are you a Fallen Corpse Slave? Or a Holy Mountain Slave?”
This voice was like a thunderclap, yet it was ethereal. Rather than a voice, it was more like a consciousness that synced to his mind.
Lu Fan turned to look at Han Ke and the others. Seeing their expressions were completely normal, he realised that the other party’s consciousness was only communicating with him.
At this moment, the other party’s voice sounded in Lu Fan’s mind again. “I speak only with you, the others there are not yet worthy to comprehend me. You have both Fallen Corpse and Holy Mountain auras, how very strange. What is your relationship with those two?”
Lu Fan smiled and directly replied. “What relationship I have with them is none of your business.”
This response made the Divine Bone Ancient God silent for nearly five seconds.
After the silence, it said. “If you’re related to Fallen Corpse or Holy Mountain, then leave quickly, and I won’t kill you. But if you dare disturb my peace again, I won’t let you off!”
As it said this, the Divine Bone Clone opened its giant mouth and let out a threatening roar.
At the same time, ghost fires lit up in the Divine Bone Clone’s Dragon Eye Sockets, and its pressure increased dramatically.
Lu Fan remained unmoved. After all, he did not believe the other party had refrained from immediately attacking him merely out of respect for the other two Ancient Gods.
When fighting Charles before, Lu Fan had fought with the Holy Mountain Ancient God’s Ancient God Projection.
The opponent must have sensed the Fallen Corpse Ancient God’s aura on him. Yet, it did not show any mercy when attacking.
So if anyone claimed there was some friendly relationship between Ancient Gods, Lu Fan would laugh at them. The fact that it spoke this way was a sign of fear rather than compassion. It was afraid, and did not dare to fight head-on.
