Initially, everyone gloated and thought they could take care of these monsters easily. Later, they realized that these skeletons were terrifying and simply not something they could deal with. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? This is terrifying!” “We’re doomed. I thought I was quite powerful, but the world was simply playing a joke on me! Everyone yelled in a panic when they realized this serious problem. However, it was too late. Not everyone could deal with the enhanced skeletons. They simply ran around trying to dodge the skeletons’ attacks. Reality proved that it was useless. The skeletons were much faster than them. Some people were hit by the skeletons and fell to the ground, howling in pain. Other arrogant people wanted to challenge the skeletons and had one of their arms chopped off. Philip felt helpless to see their misery. It was not that easy to wipe out so many skeletons. More importantly, they could not find a way to solve this problem. The people of Mist
The beasts and humans killed in battle would turn into bones piled up in the corner as if receiving baptism. Philip did not doubt that the corpses of these beasts and humans would one day turn into skeletons to fight against them. The people of Mistral Temple felt like they were going to have a mental breakdown. It felt like a dream to them. “Impossible. How could the ancient book deceive us?” “But they're still appearing after having been killed several times!” “Teacher, you have to save us. Many of our comrades have died!” The clergies of Mistral Temple ran around in a panic. They knew they were in deep trouble now. However, not all skeletons had the same strength after resurrection. That depended on their opponents. The skeletons destroyed by Philip would resurrect according to his standards, while weaker opponents might only achieve the same results after four rounds compared to what Philip could achieve in three rounds. After discovering this secret, everyone sto
Hearing the screams around them, Aslan and the others quickly checked on their people and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming everyone was fine. Those who died were weaker practitioners who were less guarded, mostly casual practitioners or members of large families. Philip could not do anything about it. He was not a god and could not protect everyone. After absorbing enough blood, the bone palace became spookier. An eerie red light kept flashing in the palace. The dismembered skeletons healed instantly and became stronger. After they returned to normal, they attacked Philip and the others with everything they had. Philip dared not drop his guard and quickly brandished his weapon. He did not know if the resurrected skeletons had become stronger. “These bones should be cooked in broth,” Philip frowned as he muttered under his breath. The force of these skeletons had exceeded 10,000 kilograms. Philip thought he could buy some time by dismembering the skeleton
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for that narrow escape. Philip looked outside nervously only to find a huge pond. To be precise, they were deep underwater now. They were surrounded by bones that looked like they belonged to a beast. The white bones were hundreds of meters long and looked spooky with a red luster. They were trapped inside the palace, making it difficult to escape. Philip could only wait quietly for things to progress. Although the threat from the skeletons had ceased, they were facing new problems. The palace was shrinking rapidly, and they were trapped inside. With hundreds of people packed into the small space, it was very crowded. The remaining beasts were squeezed against the walls, unable to stand any longer. To vent their frustrations, the beasts simply crashed against the walls, trying to smash the palace into pieces, but it was futile. Tens of thousands of kilograms of force attacked the walls of the palace without leaving a mark, which prov
Death was commonplace in the world of practitioners. Philip stood in one corner and sensed his surroundings. A fierce battle seemed to be happening outside. However, the bone palace restricted their vision and senses, so Philip could not see what was happening outside. In a place where Philip and the others could not see, the huge beast skeleton was fighting with an ancient statue. They fought vigorously as if fighting for territory. A huge grave mound was piled up next to the two creatures. Dirt kept running down the mound as if something was trying to get out. While the two creatures fought, a loud noise shocked everyone, and Philip finally saw the situation outside. He saw two strange creatures fighting, but before he could react, the mound exploded not far away, shocking everyone. The mound burst open, and a young man emerged from inside. The man had the face of a six-year-old child, which looked very bizarre. “Philip, did you see that guy? How can someone look like
“Don’t be angry.” A dainty woman nervously approached the old man, trying to appease his anger. However, the old man was very angry and refused to listen. With a flick of his finger, the woman instantly turned into dust. Seeing this, the other women knelt in horror and dared not approach him anymore. “Anyone who dares to mess with me, Dustin, will be killed!” Dustin Lindell was very angry and wished he could cut the person who owned the sealing stone into pieces. Anyone from the Guzo Continent would definitely recognize this old man. There was a mysterious profession called engraver on the Guzo Continent. An engraver could engrave various spells on people's bodies that produced various temporary effects. This art could only be engraved on the human body. Although painful, the effect was quite significant. Certain spells could increase speed while others could increase strength temporarily, so this art was quite amazing. It was extremely difficult to learn this art.
Now that Dustin had lost all contact with the sealed land, staying here would only invite trouble and might even cost him his life. In that case, his only choice was to leave. After Dustin left, Philip noticed that everything in the surroundings seemed to have lost all life. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Philip exited the palace. The others followed Philip's lead and watched the surroundings carefully, fearing that something might happen. Philip tried to punch the statue and found that it was very hard, stronger than the bones. Philip guessed that Dustin made the statue. However, the statue had greatly weakened after the earlier battle. Since the statue was not activated, only an empty husk was left. Philip punched the statue several times and finally shattered it. He then solemnly looked in the direction where the old man was headed. He did not know who the old man was or where he came from. If he came from Philip’s world, Philip had to be very careful, because
Dustin was not the owner of the sealed land. How could he control the skeletons? Although the beast skeleton turned against Dustin in the end for some reason, Philip felt that the old man must have mastered a technique to control the skeletons. After Philip entered the grave, he found this place different from what he had imagined. He thought this place would be gloomy and dark, but it was very spacious instead. It was like a world of its own, with green mountains and blue waters. The whole place was littered with statues too. Judging from these statues, the old man was definitely not the owner of this place. The statues did not belong to him. He simply mastered the method of controlling them by chance. Philip saw a pond surrounded by trees, and various unknown birds flapping their wings and chirping. Philip thought he was in a dream as if his fight with the skeletons earlier was an illusion. This place was not very big, about 30 kilometers from one end to the other
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
