I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 75: The Attributes of the Light of a True God (Subscription Requested)

Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the grand tomb before him, the night-luminescent pearl in his hand emitting a faint, clear radiance, a hazy glow like the moonlight, filled with a unique, mysterious allure.

“There are no more strange powers within this grand tomb.” Zhang Chen scanned the tomb with his Dharma Eye, seeing no strange powers, and then closed it.

The Dharma Eye could only see mysterious powers but could not help Zhang Chen enhance his eyesight in the darkness.

Zhang Chen held the night-luminescent pearl, slowly walking through the True Dragon Tomb, watching almost step by step every bit of texture within, his mind frantically recalling the fragments of memories he had seen in the past.

“There don't seem to be any mechanisms or traps within the True Dragon Tomb, nor are there any secret passages leading to the outside world. The only passage is that bronze gate.”

Zhang Chen, holding the night-luminescent pearl, arrived before the bronze gate, looking at the ten-zhang-high bronze door. It must weigh hundreds of tons, something no mortal could push open. Even a crane would be helpless before this bronze gate.

The bronze gate was tightly sealed, without any gaps. The fitting was perfect, the seams forming a line, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

“That's not right. The tomb and nest are sealed so tightly, shouldn't the oxygen inside the True Dragon Nest have been exhausted long ago? But I don't feel any suffocation.”

Zhang Chen examined the bronze gate for a moment, not finding any switches, and then shifted his gaze, continuing to walk within the grand tomb.

After walking around the tomb, Zhang Chen looked towards the cracks in the ground. Those cracks appeared very ferocious, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.

“These cracks are probably forty meters deep, with a river flowing below, and it's an underground river!” Zhang Chen now possessed the Water Control Technique, which allowed him to control all water flow within fifty meters, and he immediately noticed the river flowing in the cracks.

“Moreover, the river is very turbulent and deep, exceeding my perception, at least seven or eight meters deep. And the most crucial thing is that there are actually fish in the water!” Zhang Chen carefully sensed for a moment, noticing something again. Feeling the fish swimming in the water, his eyes lit up.

Where did the fish come from? They must be connected to the outside world; otherwise, the fish could not survive.

“Such a deep underground river must have a passage leading to the outside world. If I want to escape, perhaps I can escape along the underground river.” Zhang Chen's eyes brightened. He dared not ask the fox spirit to take him through the stone walls again. How brave would he have to be to ask the fox spirit to continue taking him through the stone walls?

Of course, if his plan succeeded, and he could successfully kill the fox spirit and enslave its soul, then it would be fine.

Zhang Chen stared at the cracks for a moment, then secretly said in his heart: “The underground river is my backup plan. If I can't hook away the fox spirit's soul, and I kill the fox spirit's body, I'm afraid the fox spirit will try to kill me, leaving me to starve to death in the stone chamber. I can then find a chance to leave from the underground river.”

At this moment, Zhang Chen carefully checked all his skills:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Fourth Tier): Light of a True God -\u003e Automatic Cruise (0/200000)】

【Skill 2 (Second Tier): Dragon Qi (0/200000)】

【Skill 3 (First Tier): Transform Blood Bat (0/1000000)】

【Skill 4 (Second Tier): Water Control Technique (0/100000)】

【Skill 7 (First Tier): Soul-Hooking Chains (0/1000000)】

【Points: One thousand six hundred and seventy-two】

Finally, Zhang Chen focused on the Dragon Qi: “My Dragon Qi is fused with the True Dragon Destiny, but it doesn't seem to have any unique changes.”

“What is the use of this True Dragon Destiny?” Zhang Chen looked at the True Dragon Destiny, a hint of surprise in his eyes. After thinking for a long time without gaining any insight, he held the fox spirit's body, leisurely wandering around the tomb, hoping to gain something in the True Dragon Tomb.

Zhang Chen walked and stopped in the tomb, constantly observing the cracks under his feet. The cracks in the tomb were either large or small, the large ones were about a meter wide, and the small ones were only the width of a palm. The cracks tore apart the tomb, obviously, the earthquake that year was very powerful; otherwise, it would not have been able to tear apart the rock.

“The power of an earthquake is inherently strong, powerful enough to tear apart continents. What is tearing apart a mountain at this time?”

He observed the underground cracks, wanting to see if there was a chance to enter the tomb of the Imperial Daughter next door. Unfortunately, he was disappointed; there were no cracks leading to the Imperial Daughter's tomb.

“The Imperial Daughter's tomb is where the real great fortune lies. How can I enter the Imperial Daughter's tomb? Even if I go out, facing that bronze door and the dozens of meters of thick bluestone, I definitely can't dig through. Moreover, this dragon called Ying, the True Dragon Tomb is about three hundred meters away from the Imperial Daughter's tomb wall, and all of it is bluestone. I absolutely cannot dig through these three hundred meters of bluestone.” Zhang Chen looked at the bronze gate: “Unless I can open the bronze door, opening the bronze door is equivalent to entering the Imperial Daughter's mausoleum. With the memory in my mind, I can naturally easily go to the Imperial Daughter's tomb.”

After thinking about it, Zhang Chen came to the bronze gate again. Facing the bronze gate, even if he had explosives, he would not be able to shake the solid bronze door. He was thinking about whether he could blast a gap at the connection between the bronze door and the bluestone, blast out a passage, and then drill into it.

Zhang Chen held the night-luminescent pearl, all the way to the bronze gate, carefully staring at the gap between the bronze gate and the rock connection, and then the next moment Zhang Chen couldn't help but curse: “I underestimated the wisdom of that ancient 'god'. Even I can think of the problem, how could that god not think of it?”

It could be seen that the stone wall was actually inlaid with a meter-thick bronze plate. It was unknown how deep the bronze plate was inlaid, but presumably, with the methods of that god, there would never be an opportunity for people to exploit.

As for the connection between the bronze door and the stone wall, it relied on a complete large 'hinge'. The hinge was as long and as thick as the door. Although there were gaps in between, only cockroaches could probably crawl through.

“Unless one masters the fox spirit's methods, being able to transform into nothingness and shuttle through matter, otherwise this tomb is an impregnable fortress.”

After checking for a moment, Zhang Chen finally gave up completely, honestly sitting in the tomb chamber, waiting for the fox spirit to arrive.

At this time, Zhang Chen not only tied the fox spirit's body to his chest, but also held the fox spirit in his arms. The light emitted by the night-luminescent pearl in front of him illuminated the darkness, giving Zhang Chen a trace of security.

Only now, sitting in the darkness, could Zhang Chen realize just how powerful the threat posed by the fox spirit was.

Just imagine, that fox spirit could burst out from the surrounding walls and floor at any moment, giving you a knife when you're drowsy. Wouldn't that be terrifying?

Of course, Zhang Chen could coat all the stone walls in front of him with golden light, but there's still a problem: Zhang Chen still has to sit on the ground, right?

What if a knife suddenly emerges from the ground? That knife wouldn't be afraid of the light of a true god, would it?

"Fortunately, I now have the fox spirit's physical body to manipulate; otherwise, I'm afraid I'd be played to death by the fox spirit. After all, I'm just a mortal. I need to eat, drink, excrete, and sleep. There will always be times when I'm tired and my mental strength is not focused. The fox spirit holds the initiative. Once it launches a sneak attack, I'm afraid I'll be completely at a disadvantage. Perhaps I can luckily dodge once, twice, ten times, a hundred times, but the fox spirit can afford dozens or hundreds of failures, while I only need to fail once, and I'll immediately kick the bucket!" Zhang Chen sat upright in the darkness, his entire body tense, the hairs on his skin constantly swaying, searching for the aura in the air.

Fortunately, after absorbing the golden blood last time, Zhang Chen underwent a transformation, and his skin's senses are incomparably sharp; otherwise, he might not have dared to sit so steadily at this moment.

"I actually have another method."

Zhang Chen thought to himself. In the next moment, the underground river surged, accumulating into a block of ice about a meter square in front of Zhang Chen. Then, Zhang Chen applied golden light to the ice block before jumping up and sitting down.

"I can now manipulate a meter of water to turn it into ice, placing the ice block infused with golden light under my body, so the fox spirit can't stab me from below. It's just that this ice block is too cold, chilling to the bone!"

As soon as Zhang Chen sat on the ice block, he felt his butt start to cool down, and a chilling sensation surged into his heart.

This ice block can't be sat on for long. Every ten minutes or so, Zhang Chen has to stand up and move his whole body to circulate his blood.

Although he made this ice block himself, it's no different from a real ice block, and he himself doesn't have the ability to resist the cold.

"My water control technique is still a bit low; it hasn't derived any heaven-defying skills!" Zhang Chen sat on the ice and began to complain about his own water control technique.

However, the bone-chilling cold is also good; it can keep him mentally alert at all times and prevent him from dozing off.

At this moment, if the fox spirit wants to sneak attack him, the only way is to sneak attack from the air, but with the sensitivity of his skin now, if the fox spirit comes with a knife, it will definitely cause a sonic boom, giving him time to react.

Time passed bit by bit. Zhang Chen was energetic in the darkness, waiting for the fox spirit's soul to arrive.

"As long as the fox spirit's soul dares to come, I'll use soul-hooking to serve it. I want to see if killing the fox spirit's physical body can kill the fox spirit," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Time passed unnoticed in the darkness, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a fierce wind sounded behind Zhang Chen's head, as if a stick was whistling towards him, smashing directly at the back of his head.

"The fox spirit has made a move. This fox spirit wants to knock me unconscious with a stick and then take the opportunity to take back its physical body."

Zhang Chen's skin senses are so sharp now. The change in the air current was already perceived by his skin.

However, before Zhang Chen could react, suddenly, the long knife at his waist vibrated slightly and chirped. In the next moment, a golden light burst out from the long knife. The shape of the golden light was the same as the long knife. Its speed was as fast as lightning. Zhang Chen had just turned around, and his palm had just landed on the handle of the knife, when he saw the white-clothed girl holding a stick, approaching Zhang Chen within a short distance.

Obviously, Zhang Chen underestimated the fox spirit. He underestimated the speed of the fox spirit's stick and overestimated his own reaction time. His skin sensed the change in the air, but the fox spirit's stick was too fast, and it had already arrived in front of him in an instant.

The stick was as thick as an adult's arm. If it hit his head, he would probably end up with his brains splattered, but when the stick was only a short distance away from Zhang Chen, it could no longer fall.

"Ah ~"

The golden knife light was too fast. It was only an instant from bursting out of the knife to slashing on the white-clothed girl.

Zhang Chen didn't have time to avoid the fox spirit girl's stick, and the fox spirit girl also couldn't resist the knife light bursting out of the long knife.

Only a scream was heard, and the knife light penetrated the white-clothed girl. Then, the stick in the white-clothed girl's hand fell, and her soul turned into a white-haired fox, directly burrowing into the soil and disappearing.

As the girl burrowed into the underground bluestone, the golden knife light could no longer be found. The knife light shuttled in the void for a while, and then slowly dissipated.

"This…" Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the slowly dissipating golden light, and an unprecedentedly hot light radiated from his eyes.

This knife light was previously stored in the long knife by him. Then, the knife light automatically flew out to kill the fox spirit girl. It was his true god's light, the fourth-order new skill: automatic cruise.

It's just that after the golden light was placed with the skill retention, Zhang Chen could no longer control it, which is equivalent to the detached sword energy in the novel.

"My true god's light is a bit heaven-defying!" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, very bright, very bright.

The most important thing is that he can sense that the knife-shaped golden light about to dissipate in front of him is different from the golden light in his body.

The knife-shaped golden light in front of him not only has the shape of a knife, but also has a sharpness that the golden light in his body has never had.

That golden light is like a knife, like a cold, shining, and sharp broadsword.

"Unbelievable! It's really unbelievable! What exactly happened that caused my golden light to undergo such a change after leaving my body? It actually increased the attribute of sharpness?"

Zhang Chen felt a little unbelievable.

"Could it be said that if I place the golden light in some object, the attribute will automatically change? Does the golden light have the attribute power of the object?" Zhang Chen had some guesses in his heart.

However, he didn't have time to dwell on this issue at this time, but quickly poured the golden light in his body into the long knife again.

"With such a skill, it's almost impossible for the strange creatures in this world to sneak attack me again! Unless the opponent's attack speed is faster than my golden light! Or, if I lean against the wall, the opponent directly stabs a knife out of the wall. After all, my golden light cannot penetrate matter!" Zhang Chen was in a great mood, looking at the darkness in front of him, feeling better than ever before.

This wave of advantage is on my side! As long as my feet don't touch the ground, the fox spirit can't do anything to me.

As for the fox spirit throwing stones at me? Now that I have mastered the ice water control technique, it's not like I can't defend against it!

I have a great advantage!

ps: The fox spirit will die tomorrow, don't worry, bosses.
