Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Killing Hades was already a task Jiang Cheng had to accomplish.

The most important part, of course, was obtaining the Heaven Soul Water and Earth Soul Water.

As for the second task, he had no intention of resurrecting the Nether Emperor.

The nature and preferences of the Nether Emperor were unknown variables, uncontrollable factors for him.

Moreover, for a great emperor, the Necronomicon might not be enough to restrain him.

Jiang Cheng decided it would be better to control the Nether River himself and bring reincarnation into the world.

Whether he could become human again probably depended on gathering the Destiny Soul Water and the other seven Spirit Waters.

However, it seemed that while the Heaven Soul corresponded to the Blood Hell Demon Lord and the Earth Soul to the Nether Emperor, the tasks for the Destiny Soul and the other seven Spirits would likely be just as challenging.

After evolving into Wings of Calamity, he had received a hint that this world had angels and seven sin demons.

Jiang Cheng guessed that the clues to the seven Spirits might be related to these seven sin demons.

But for now, thinking about these matters was premature.

If it weren’t for Redno using the Nether Moon Rebirth technique, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t have been able to defeat him.

If he couldn’t even beat Redno, there was no point in thinking about the even more powerful Blood Hell Demon Lord.

Jiang Cheng acted decisively, never dawdling.

As soon as the quest appeared, he immediately determined his future plans.

Now, all that remained was to exchange the Blood Hell Qi.

“It’s time for you all to leave,” Redno suddenly spoke again after a long while, his tone indicating it was time for the guests to depart.

“Great Magic God, the time isn’t up yet. We could actually stay with you a bit longer,” Yun Yin said shamelessly.

They had received so many good items just from staying with the Magic God for a short while. Who knew what they might get if they stayed longer?

“There’s no need. I’ve grown accustomed to a thousand years of solitude. Besides, how long could you really stay?” Redno retrieved all the tables and chairs from in front of the group, his gaze carrying a hint of melancholy.

“It’s time to leave,” Redno said again.

But to his surprise, the group remained stationary.

Seeing this, Redno could only say helplessly, “I’ve endured enough over the past thousand years and have seen through it all. I don’t need your sympathy. You don’t have to do this.”

“It’s not that… actually, it’s like this, Great Magic God,” Yun Long scratched his head, looking embarrassed. “The reason we haven’t left is because our Master and junior sister still have Blood Hell Qi to exchange.”

Upon hearing this, Redno swallowed the words he was about to say.

His right hand froze, and his face turned very awkward.

He had thought these people were staying out of sympathy after hearing his story, wanting to keep him company a little longer.

He never imagined that they were actually… like this!

Well… he was a Magic God after all, he should be magnanimous.

“The Blood Hell Qi is indeed beneficial to me. However, because I practice the Nether Moon technique, I can’t absorb it from the blood race without being corrupted. Since you have Blood Hell Qi, I can offer you certain rewards in exchange.”

After Redno finished speaking, over a hundred glowing objects suddenly appeared before him, dazzling and diverse, leaving everyone’s eyes glazed over.

“Wow, the Great Magic God indeed has many more treasures.”

Redno: “…”

Sure enough, these rascals only wanted his possessions.

How disheartening…

…

There were many more items, but Fist Sage and the others didn’t have time to look at them all, as there were only two minutes left in the dungeon.

After a quick glance, they realized that their 550,000 points weren’t as substantial as they had initially thought.

However, there was a wide variety of items, both good and bad.

The most powerful seemed to be the secondary weapon Blood Moon Spear, but its price of 30 million points was out of reach.

In the end, both Fist Sage and Jiang Cheng chose the Nether Moon Divine Archers and a guild skill, Physical and Magical Resistance.

【Physical and Magical Resistance】

This skill cost 250,000 points, but it was particularly useful.

Although the cooldown was extremely long, it could save lives in critical moments and catch enemies off guard.

As for the Blood Jade and Blood Essence, Jiang Cheng didn’t let A Silly Cutie exchange for them.

He had actually obtained a few when he killed Mo You earlier, so they weren’t lacking.

When the exchanges were complete, the group’s time in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land finally came to an end.

Before they could say goodbye to Redno, they were forcibly teleported out.

…

At the entrance of the Blood Hell Forbidden Land, a large group of female players was currently waiting.

They were the Rose Legion, one of the ten elite legions of the Temple.

The Rose Legion was formerly the Rose Guild, which ranked in the top 50 guilds during Mythic.

However, due to certain reasons, they were later completely absorbed by the Temple, becoming an elite legion on par with the Blade Legion.

Although the entire legion had been mobilized this time, their leader wasn’t the Rose Legion commander Night Rose.

Instead, it was Emei Ci, one of the Twelve Gods, renowned as the number one Assassin class player and known as the Human Frost Weapon.

The Blade Legion had already entered the Blood Hell Forbidden Land once, so they couldn’t enter again today.

“With the great Emei Ci leading the team, and the new strategy obtained by President Su from the Blood Hell Gatekeeper, the chances of obtaining a Guild Establishment Token on this Blood Hell Forbidden Land expedition are likely around 70%!” Night Rose said to Blood Dancer and Fist King Wu Ye, who had come to watch the excitement, in a tavern on the outskirts of Blood Void City.

“This is a tremendous achievement. Rose, aren’t you jealous?” Blood Dancer took a small sip of the clear wine in her hand, jokingly asking with mischievous intent.

“Rose should understand the difference between them, just as I’ve always been clear about the gap between me and my master. There’s nothing to be jealous about,” Fist King Wu Ye said, pouring a jar of clear wine down his throat.

“Don’t drink too much.” Night Rose tried to pull away his wine jar, but couldn’t move it, so she had to give up.

“I really have nothing to be jealous about. If even you two aren’t jealous, what do I have to be jealous of? You’ve been named as two of the Twelve Legendaries, while I’m… nothing, let alone compared to the great Emei Ci.”

Night Rose continued thoughtfully, “Only those close in strength have the right to be jealous. When the gap is too large, all that’s left is admiration. I just hope that one day I’ll be worthy of feeling jealous of them.”

“But speaking of which, why hasn’t Renegade Desperado arrived yet?” Night Rose said anxiously.

The reason she didn’t lead her team to the Blood Hell Forbidden Land this time was because she had a more important task.

This time, she was the contact person for the Four Corners Destruction plan, responsible for meeting with Renegade Desperado.

Her mission was to meet with Renegade Desperado and have him intercept A Silly Cutie and the Black Skeleton.

“Calculating the time, A Silly Cutie should be coming out soon. How can this Renegade Desperado be so unpunctual?” Night Rose was getting anxious.

However, to her surprise, instead of Renegade Desperado, she saw a figure at the tavern entrance that made her pupils dilate in shock.
