Whoosh!
The unknown power restricting Su Ping faded away. The five spheres of golden flesh floating in midair instantly reassembled into Su Ping and landed in front of the skeleton king.
“Huh?”
Su Ping was surprised by the skeleton king’s reaction. Wasn’t he trying to search my memories? Why is he so panicked after entering my consciousness? Is he ashamed of himself after seeing how handsome I was in my previous life?
1
“I think something is seriously wrong with you,” said Su Ping in a low voice.
The skeleton king recovered from the shock and gazed at Su Ping. The red light in his eyes glittered. Even though he didn’t have an expression, he was obviously troubled. “You’re here to establish the sixth world, right? The method you’re using works…”
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. “Did you really peep into my memories?”
The skeleton king didn’t reply. He simply said, “The power source of the Chaotic Realm of the Undead is in the deepest part of the Naihe Soul Ocean. The creatures in every universe will be sucked into the Abyssal Hole in the Naihe Soul Ocean after they die. Those souls will float in the ocean; there’s a Reincarnation Path deep inside.
“They would float in the ocean forever if they’re unable to enter the Reincarnation Path, until they’re corrupted by the power of the undead. They either turn into hateful ghosts or become part of the soul ocean.
“However, the Reincarnation Path hasn’t been fixed, ever since it was cut off during the war. So, the creatures in every universe will be stuck there after they die.”
/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.
The skeleton king added, “This world is getting even more crowded as a result. The local creatures have been feeding off of each other. Although cannibalism will result in powerful soul beasts and undead creatures, the other universes will dwindle if their souls never return and reincarnate. If all the other universes perish and only the Chaotic Realm of the Undead is left…”
1
He paused for a moment and said, “This world will also meet its doom.
“Besides, it will cause another war. The war years ago began when someone tried to block the Reincarnation Path and stop souls from reincarnating. They hoped to concentrate all souls and absorb them, so that they could reach an unprecedented level.
“Unfortunately, the method was only theoretically possible. When carried out, thousands of worlds perished, and they didn’t get the power they sowed in the end…”
The skeleton king’s eye sockets glittered with red light as he spoke, seemingly regretful.
Su Ping felt dazed, not expecting that he would tell him that many details. He didn’t know that a great war and so many other things had happened in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead, either.
“Were the gods not your enemies in the war?” asked Su Ping.
The skeleton king laughed. “The gods? They were just arrogant and stupid. We wouldn’t have ended like this if it weren’t for them, but they weren’t our enemies. They didn’t deserve it!”
“…”
Su Ping was lost for words. You despise the people who despise you. Are you any different from them?
“You’ll understand sooner or later.” The skeleton king seemed to know what Su Ping wanted to say, and added casually, “You have to go to the Naihe Soul Ocean if you want to establish the sixth world. I can send you there. But unfortunately, that place has changed considerably. It’s not my territory; it’s not appropriate for me to go there.
“Therefore, I cannot help you any further; you must rely on yourself. You can resurrect anyway; you may be able to make it if you’re lucky. Still, it’s much more dangerous than the worlds of gods and deities; it’ll depend on yourself whether or not you can establish a sixth world and become the strongest in history.”
Su Ping slightly opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The guy’s attitude was completely different. Was it because he saw the system when he checked his memories?
That was the only possible explanation.
The only thing an emperor-level creature could be scared of was the peep-loving system.
“What did you say?” A cold snort sounded in Su Ping’s heart. “First warning!”
4
Su Ping’s lips curled, then he continued thinking. The sutra old man mentioned that the system’s store existed in the past, so this skeleton king might have seen it…
“You…”
“I don’t know anything.” The skeleton king shook his head.
“…”
Lost for words, Su Ping could only say, “Then please take me to the border. By the way, we’ve known each other for a long time. Why don’t you give me some farewell presents that you don’t need anymore?”
While remembering the things he saw in Su Ping’s memories, the skeleton king asked with a shivering red light in his eyes, “What do you want?”
“These two chicks, for example, and whatever rare materials you have. You should know my partners; do you have anything they can use?” asked Su Ping.
The two fallen angels raised their heads in shock, watery-eyed and pitiful; still neither complained. Judging by their king’s attitude towards Su Ping, they knew they couldn’t afford pissing him off.
The skeleton king said casually, “That’s no problem. However, it’s tricky if you want to take them away. If you do want them, I can seal them in the Ascendant State. You’ll be able to bind them as pets when you rise to the Star Lord State.”
Su Ping’s eyes glittered. Two Celestial fallen angels as battle pets of my own?
1
“But I don’t intend to advance just yet. Maybe next time?” asked Su Ping.
The skeleton king nodded. “No problem.”
1
The two fallen angels gave pitiful and affectionate looks at their king, unwilling to be abandoned that easily. However, the latter clearly ignored them.
The black bird at the rear was stunned. Didn’t I deliver this god as an offering to the king? Why did the king offer his beautiful guards to him instead?
The black bird was rather panicked, fearing that Su Ping would take it away too for what it did to him.
Whoosh!
It was clear that Su Ping didn’t want the black bird; the two beautiful fallen angels were enough for them. He summoned the Little Skeleton, the Inferno Dragon and his other pets, then asked the skeleton king to pick treasures for them.
Hardly had the pets arrived when they noticed the situation. All of them became vigilant, standing protectively before Su Ping, even though they were shivering.
They had seen many things along with Su Ping. The current scene was quite terrifying, but they managed to hold back.
The skeleton king seemed less condescending upon checking their reactions. Even though those little creatures were too weak for him, it couldn’t have been easy for Su Ping to train them to such an extent.
“This skeleton doesn’t really carry the skeleton king bloodline; it only carries one which belongs to one of the branches. Now, I bestow upon it the real bloodline of skeleton kings.”
2
The great being looked at the Little Skeleton currently protecting Su Ping. He stared at the ragged bone saber on its hip for a moment, then extended his hand to it.
The Little Skeleton changed to a defensive posture and tried to resist, but Su Ping soothed it and made it aware of the situation.
The little one was confused. However, it held back the urge to attack and dodge; it stood there obediently.
The skeleton king stroked the Little Skeleton’s head. His fingertip suddenly turned red, the red light gradually condensing into dark blood that flowed down into the Little Skeleton’s head.
The blood flowed throughout the skeleton’s little body, from its spine, just like a spider network.
It didn’t stop until the blood reached its feet. Moments later, the blood suddenly solidified like some sort of blood array, which emitted an unusual aura that enshrouded the little one.
“We are born kings and we will die kings. When the rotten flesh is gone, our bones shall be immortal!” the skeleton king recited in a low voice. The entire palace seemed to be trembling. His voices echoed, causing surging energy tides; the fallen angels and the black bird were too shocked to say anything.
Our king is passing his bloodline to such a weak skeleton?
That was the king’s bloodline!
All three of them were jealous.
The inheriting process ended a long while after. The skeleton king withdrew his hand; there was now a hint of redness in the Little Skeleton’s bones. It seemed that the skeletal pet was even more intimidating than before.
There were also crystal marks on his bones; they were bone patterns.
“From this day forth, you’ll be one of the Immortal Skeleton Kings!” declared the skeleton king.
The Little Skeleton was dazed for a moment. It suddenly lowered its head, which nearly dropped to the ground; it quickly held its own head and bowed at the skeleton king gratefully.
1
Then, it quickly raised its head and looked at Su Ping, seemingly nervous.
Su Ping listened with attention, affectionately stroking its little head after figuring out what the Little Skeleton was thinking.
That kid was nervous, thinking that Su Ping would be angry for receiving that huge gift.
“Why would I blame you? I’ll always be happy when you become stronger,” said Su Ping gently.
The Little Skeleton relaxed. Its subconscious voice seemed to be quite delighted.
The skeleton king stared at the little pet for a while. Then, he took out more treasures and offered them to the Inferno Dragon, the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and the others. Some of it was food, with a bloodied appearance, while others were smoke-like; they looked like ghosts, which covered the dragon pet and gave its scales extraordinary power.
Su Ping looked at the skeleton king in silence. He wasn’t afraid that the guy would do anything harmful, because it was unnecessary.
A long time passed while everything was done. The skeleton king said to Su Ping, “That’s all for now. Do you want to go to the Naihe Soul Ocean right now?”
“Okay.”
Su Ping nodded. He then retrieved his pets so they could digest the treasures they just received.
The skeleton king glanced at the black bird below. “I’ll have it give you a ride to the bottom of the ocean. That place is dangerous even for Celestials, but you’ll be sent to the depths of the soul ocean.”
The black bird cried in its heart after hearing that, all its feathers shaking; it couldn’t have felt more regretful. It should have just eaten Su Ping when it had the chance; going to the Naihe Soul Ocean was no different from suicide.
That place was beyond the skeleton king’s territory; they would be seen as invaders. Who would show any respect?
Seeing that Su Ping didn’t raise any objections, the skeleton king waved a hand to cut an opening in the void; a hazy vortex emerged. He then said, “Get inside. The channel won’t last for long.”
Su Ping nodded and immediately stepped in.
The channel was hazy and wet, giving off a coldness that worked directly on the soul. Su Ping felt that the gray mist had dispersed, letting him see the most bizarre view.
Space was covered by an ocean. Countless ghosts were floating; it was thousands of times more dreadful than hell!
There were enormous whale-like creatures floating in the sky. Their white abdomens made them look like clouds.
However, it could be seen upon closer look that there were countless tentacles on those abdomens. The tentacles were the arms of people shivering in the water; their bodies seemed to have been swallowed by those immense creatures.
“Is this the Naihe Soul Ocean?”
Su Ping was rather astonished. Even though he had traveled to many cultivation sites and seen a lot of terrifying forbidden lands, he was still shocked by that creepy scene.
The entire world was an ocean.
He was right in the middle of it at the moment. It was just that the water which made the ocean was as light as air.
That was mainly because Su Ping’s body was extremely sturdy. Otherwise, such seawater would have been as heavy as lead, making it impossible even for him to breathe.
The souls of ordinary creatures that had been sent there could only float along with the currents!
The souls noticed him observing them, and immediately stopped wandering; they charged at Su Ping with excitement.
Even though Su Ping always considered himself resolute, he felt that his blood was curdling at the moment. A cold snort was heard before he did anything, then black light was swept out, annihilating all the nearby undead creatures; they turned into smoke and were absorbed by a feather.
The bird placed itself in front of Su Ping and moved forward. It was extremely angry, but it didn’t dare vent its fury on Su Ping; those undead creatures were perfect replacements.
“Why are you so angry? Isn’t it good to travel with me?” asked Su Ping while chuckling.
The black bird nearly vomited blood, teeth gritting while choosing to ignore Su Ping. It simply regretted not having eaten Su Ping right away.
“My king asked me to protect you on the way to the depths of the soul ocean. Follow me. There are many powerful souls here; even I have to be prudent. You’d better hide your godly aura, since it’s their greatest temptation. I’ll seal it for you!” said the black bird coldly. It was furious with Su Ping, but didn’t dare to let it show.
It had no idea why its king was giving Su Ping such a special treatment, even offering his own door guards to him.

Su Ping’s divine power aura was indeed covered as a beam of black light surrounded him. His long, golden hair turned black and started to emit a demonic aura.
Whoosh!
The unknown power restricting Su Ping faded away. The five spheres of golden flesh floating in midair instantly reassembled into Su Ping and landed in front of the skeleton king.
“Huh?”
