Chapter 366 Bone Sovereign
As the time reached the final return moment, Lu Heng had the team disembark from the ship, and then let the Sea Demon Clan return the ship first.
Lu Heng had already decided to personally look at the skeleton coffin on the seabed during the countdown to return.
This action might very well awaken the existence inside the skeleton coffin.
If this existence is truly in a weakened state, an attempt can be made to aggravate its injuries, thereby preventing the fate of the Elf Main City being overrun by the Skeleton Army in the future.
"Ten minutes left." Su Muyu nervously watched the time and flew to the sky above Wugu Blue Cave together with Lu Heng.
Xie Shi'en also hovered in mid-air, asking, "Have you decided to try?"
Lu Heng nodded and replied, "I want to give it a try, even if I can't deal with the existence inside, I at least want to see clearly what is inside."
Until now, the identity of the existence inside the skeleton coffin has only been speculation.
The only correlation is the floating biological skeletons in the seawater, and Lu Heng can't be a hundred percent sure if the existence in the seabed is the Bone Sovereign, hence he needs to confirm it personally.
"Be careful." Su Muyu did not dissuade him, but felt a bit worried in her heart.
Lin Zeyu, riding on the back of a Mechanical Tiger, casually asked, "Need help? Maybe I should go down with you and shoot a few rounds."
"Forget it, I'll just go down myself. I have a feeling that the thing inside might be a Demigod-level existence," Lu Heng voiced his suspicion.
Upon hearing that the existence below might be a Demigod, everyone was shocked and showed stunned expressions.
"That dangerous?" Lin Zeyu's eyes widened in surprise.
Lu Heng added, "During the last three minutes, I'll start acting. You guys just wait here. When the return time arrives, if there's any commotion, don't worry about me, just choose to return."
"Then be careful." Su Muyu was even more worried now, but at this time she couldn't stop him; if his mind was unsettled, it would be even more dangerous.
Lu Heng watched the return countdown on the Abyss Battlefield interface, and when the last three minutes arrived, waved to the three: "I'm going, see you at the Coastal."
With that said, Lu Heng leaped down, plummeting straight from the sky into the sea.
When about ten meters from the surface, he activated [Shadow Traversal] to dive into the sea.
Due to activating [Shadow Traversal], he ignored physical collision and thus didn't touch the seawater, piercing six hundred meters deep into the seabed in an instant.
He arrived at the bottom of the Wugu Blue Cave and saw a coffin made up of skeletons.
This skeleton coffin was extremely large, about thirty meters long, bigger than a basketball court.
After seeing the skeleton coffin with his own eyes, Lu Heng was even more certain of his suspicion.
The sense of terror from the surging skeletons would not be mistaken.
During that summoning when the Elf Main City was breached in the previous era, because of insufficient combat power, he was not the main force of that Abyss Battlefield, but had battled against the overwhelming Skeleton Army, so this aura would definitely not be mistaken.
About half a year later, it was this Demigod-level Bone Sovereign that leveled the Elf Main City.
This event hasn't happened yet, but if nothing is done, the timeline is very likely to follow the original direction.
With one minute remaining.
Lu Heng took out a Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball, looked at it in his palm.
This Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball was extracted from the Great Demon Helmer of the Shadow Race. Upon initially getting this Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball, there was no time to check the attributes.
Later, while staying temporarily with the Sea Demon Clan, he had already looked at the properties of this Energy Treasure Ball.
The effect of this Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball is quite simple: it's used to restore Source Material Energy and is a consumable.
Once Superpower Users obtain a class, they can expend Source Material Energy to exert class abilities.
For example, [Shadow Traversal], consumes Source Material Energy.
The total amount of Source Material Energy is very small; basically using [Shadow Traversal] once, the First Transition Source Material Energy is exhausted, and it cannot be used a second time until fully restored.
The same goes for the Level Three [Void Flash]; after use, the Level Three Source Material Energy will be depleted, and until the Source Material Energy recovers slowly, this ability cannot be activated again.
Lu Heng's [Void Flash] has a Divine Effect, thus allowing double flashes, but in fact, two [Void Flashes] use the class ability once.
After use, it similarly has to wait for Source Material Energy to recover.
Now, the Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball in hand is quite special; after absorption, it can quickly restore Source Material Energy, allowing the class ability to be used again.
This is also why the Great Demon Helmer of the Shadow Race could double flash.
At first, Lu Heng believed he had a Divine Effect for the dual flash ability, but upon seeing the extracted [Source Essence Energy Treasure Ball], he realized it was due to absorbing this Energy Treasure Ball that the dual flash was used, not because of a Divine Effect.
After preparing, Lu Heng slowly drew the Aurora Blade, beginning to gather energy.
While gathering energy, the skeleton coffin finally showed a reaction.
Waves of powerful Spiritual Pressure spread out, and in the next instant, a notification appeared. T&h.is. ch*a-p$t$er^ is p@art of the c&oll^e+ct-ion on M.V2+L$EM%P*2&Y%R.*
[Affected by Spiritual Pollution from an unknown existence, Spirit -1]
[Affected by Spiritual Pollution from an unknown existence, Spirit -1]
[Spirit lowered to 0, about to fall into madness.]
A series of Spiritual Pollution warnings flooded the screen, in an instant reducing his Spiritual Attribute by over ten points.
Upon seeing the notification, Lu Heng knew the thing inside was still "awake," at least not in complete slumber, so he immediately accelerated his energy gathering.
After two seconds, he unleashed all his combat power.
