Chapter 757 - 756: Eye of God! The Frost Bone Dragon Isn’t Dead?
Chapter 757: Chapter 756: Eye of God! The Frost Bone Dragon Isn’t Dead?
The Frost Bone Dragon’s entire skeleton was completely shattered, scattering across the ground. Only its skull remained relatively intact.
Its Soul Fire flickered wildly, flaring and dimming, on the verge of being extinguished.
Chu Sheng’s body shrank to about two meters in height. He flapped his wings and flew before the Frost Bone Dragon’s skull.
He circled the enormous dragon head twice, feeling a bit troubled.
Whether it was a human, a beast, or an Alien Race,
he could absorb their Essence Blood and Divine Soul, or their Divine Essence, or their Essence of Origin.
But the prerequisite for absorption was that the target had to have flesh.
Even a pile of mush would do.
Until now, Chu Sheng had never absorbed anything from a skeleton.
Especially not the bones of the strongest Dragon Race member on the surface, one that had been dead for a hundred thousand years.
’I wonder if I can even absorb anything.’
Chu Sheng landed curiously on the Frost Bone Dragon’s skull.
First, he located the position of the Soul Fire.
Then, he extended his proboscis and plunged it fiercely into a crack in the skull.
[Ding! Absorbed Divine Beast Level Bloodline Power. Can be fused into Mosquito Daoist Bloodline Power.]
[Fuse now?]
Chu Sheng froze for a moment, a little surprised.
He hadn’t absorbed any Divine Blood, nor had he absorbed a Divine Soul.
He hadn’t even absorbed Divine Essence or Essence of Origin.
Instead, from the skeleton of a Dragon Race member, he had absorbed the Bloodline Power of the Insect Race!
’Hey, hey, hey!’
’That thing’s a dragon!’
’Not an insect!’
’Isn’t this cross-species stuff going a little too far?’
But on second thought, it kind of made sense.
Ancient texts had an elegant name for dragons: "Chief of the Scale Insects." So, in a broad sense, they could be considered "insects."
’Whatever, who cares.’
’Dragon or insect, as long as it’s useful.’
’Fuse it.’
Chu Sheng thought to himself.
[Ding! Dragon Race Bloodline Power has been fused into Mosquito Daoist Bloodline Power.]
[Mosquito Daoist Bloodline Power +10%]
[Current Mosquito Daoist Bloodline Power: 21%. Evolution requirements met.]
[Initiate fusion evolution?]
A wave of joy washed over Chu Sheng.
He had been collecting Mosquito Daoist Bloodline for so long, scrounging and scraping together just 11%. It was painstakingly slow.
And now he’d absorbed a dragon.
A Bone Dragon that had been dead for a hundred thousand years, no less.
And it increased his Bloodline Power by a full 10%.
That was equivalent to all his previous accumulation combined.
’The Dragon Race is awesome!!!’
’Jiangnan Old Thief!!!’
’I should visit the South Sea Dragon Race when I have time. I can fleece a few more dragons and raise my Mosquito Daoist Bloodline Power.’
Chu Sheng schemed gleefully while giving the system his command.
"Initiate fusion evolution."
[Ding! Fusion evolution complete.]
[Host, please select one upgradable Skill to break through its level cap.]
Chu Sheng’s compound eyes lit up instantly.
He hadn’t expected this evolution to grant a new Skill. Instead, it gave him a chance to break the level cap of an existing one.
He glanced at his skill list.
Among his current upgradable Skills, aside from [Outer Body Avatar], which was temporarily capped at Level 50 due to his Realm limitations,
all his other upgradable Skills had already been raised to Full Level.
Chu Sheng rarely used most of these Skills anymore.
For example, [Five Elements Sacred Armor].
Nowadays, he was almost always on the Attack and rarely needed passive Defense.
Besides, even if he needed to defend, he had far superior equipment like the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor.
And he had better Skills for the job, like Five Elements Technique and Time Stasis.
As a result, he hadn’t used [Five Elements Sacred Armor] in a very long time.
Then there was [Ten Thousand Insect Clone].
This once extremely useful evasion and harassment Skill was also seeing less and less use.
After all, with his current strength, situations requiring him to use Ten Thousand Insect Clone to escape or evade were practically nonexistent.
Only [God-devouring Needle] and [Chaos Nest] were still frequently used in combat.
Chu Sheng’s gaze swept back and forth across the few Skills.
Finally, it landed on [Chaos True Sight].
When he left Blue Star, the range of Chaos True Sight could extend into outer space, truly a God’s Perspective.
After entering the Spirit Realm, Chaos True Sight was affected by the Laws of the Spirit Realm. Its detection range had shrunk drastically, making it increasingly inconvenient to use.
It couldn’t even fully cover the small Secret Realm of the Land of Burial.
It had been severely nerfed.
Anyone who plays games knows that vision is crucial.
An average player with a wallhack cheat can even dominate a highly skilled player through information advantage.
Chu Sheng was well aware of this; a vision advantage was paramount at all times.
So, after a few seconds of thought, he made his decision.
"System, raise the level cap for [Chaos True Sight]."
[Ding! Chaos True Sight has broken through its level cap and evolved into a new Skill. Host, please inspect it yourself.]
Chu Sheng immediately opened his skill panel, looking at Chaos True Sight with a hint of anticipation.
No.
It wasn’t called Chaos True Sight anymore.
It was now called [Eye of God].
[Eye of God LV1: Can scout all information within a certain area. The base range is affected by Skill Level, and the maximum usage distance is affected by the Divine Soul Attribute.]
At first glance, it didn’t seem particularly special.
The base range hadn’t increased by much.
It had just been reborn, starting over from Level One to increase the upper limit of its power.
But upon carefully examining the description, Chu Sheng made a startling discovery!
The phrase "around oneself" was missing from the Skill’s description.
And a brand-new description had been added—usage distance.
Previously, when he activated Chaos True Sight, the range was always anchored to himself, calculating a radius based on his Skill Level and Spiritual Attribute, allowing him to see only his immediate surroundings.
To see what was farther away, he had to fly forward some distance to bring those distant coordinates into Chaos True Sight’s range.
But the upgraded Eye of God was no longer limited to his own vicinity.
He could now select any "shadowed area" and cast his vision there directly!
For example.
If Chu Sheng stood in the very center of Luoping City, using Eye of God centered on himself would still only cover Luoping City, unable to see anything further outside the walls.
But he could now place the anchor point for Eye of God somewhere hundreds of miles outside the city.
This would allow him to directly see the area centered on that new anchor point.
It was like the free-roam camera you get after dying in a first-person shooter.
He could look wherever he pointed, unrestricted by his own position.
"Awesome-sauce!!!"
Chu Sheng was ecstatic.
’This Skill is practically made for scouting, peeping...’
’No, I mean, it’s a Divine Technique for ambushes!!!’
He immediately activated Eye of God, casting his anchor point deeper into the Land of Burial.
His vision instantly zoomed out, passed through the Bronze Gate, and peered into the deepest part of the Land of Burial.
"Holy shit, that’s intense!"
Chu Sheng exclaimed, his anticipation for what lay inside growing.
’About time to meet up with Gu Yuexi.’
Chu Sheng flapped his wings, preparing to fly through the Bronze Gate behind the Frost Bone Dragon.
"W-wait!"
Just then, Chu Sheng heard an extremely weak voice calling out intermittently from beneath his feet.
He looked down in surprise at the Frost Bone Dragon, which had been smashed to pieces at his feet.
’So tenacious? It’s been smashed to bits and it’s still not dead?’
Chu Sheng’s face was a picture of astonishment.
The Frost Bone Dragon’s entire skeleton had been shattered, and its skull was covered in cracks.
Its Soul Fire within was so faint it looked like it could go out at any moment.
And yet, it had somehow retained its consciousness and could still speak!
’As expected of the Dragon Race. They’re tough as nails.’
’It was resurrected as a Bone Dragon after being dead for a hundred thousand years, and it’s still clinging to life after being smashed to smithereens.’
Its Life Force was absurdly tenacious.
Still, it only sparked a tiny bit of curiosity in him.
