Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

“Too late?”

In the distance, a black mass loomed like a castle, a hundred-meter-tall monstrous beast rapidly approaching.

Deafening footsteps shook the ground all around, kicking up dust and making pebbles dance.

【Killing God’s Thousand Army – Bi Yi】

HP: 300,000,000

Attack: 38,000-58,000

Defense: 32,000-45,888

Overview: The Seventh Demon King’s elite troops in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land, possessing a weak Demon God bloodline.

Its massive lion head was covered in black hair like steel needles, with four huge bull horns crisscrossing on top.

A hundred meters long, its body seemed forged from steel, a solid frame exuding power, its back covered in intimidating spikes.

After reading the attributes and appearance of one of the Killing God’s Thousand Army, Jiang Cheng’s bones paled slightly.

His body was as small as an ant compared to the Killing God’s Thousand Army.

Unlike Mo You, these weren’t just imposing in size and appearance – their HP alone was a staggering 300 million.

Their Attack and Defense were terrifying too, over 50,000.

Even with his current 20,000+ Attack, plus Dark Intimidation, the damage he could deal would be limited.

And this was just one of them!

The Killing God’s Thousand Army had about 3,000 members!

He simply didn’t have the power to match them right now.

Unless… he could use all his divine skills at full power, with unlimited potion refills, he might slowly wear them down.

For now, leaving was the only option.

But… the Killing God’s Thousand Army had already surrounded him, closing in fast.

Despite their enormous size, leaving huge footprints, their speed was anything but slow!

Their terrifying bulk formed an impenetrable wall around him.

Even with his secondary weapon, he’d likely be swatted down instantly, with no hope of escape.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng found himself in grave danger.

His soul fire condensed, but Jiang Cheng didn’t panic. Instead, his mind raced through possible solutions.

The Killing God’s Thousand Army was now just a hundred meters away, their killing intent saturating the air.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng pulled out a horse token from his cloak and began enhancing it.

【Skeleton Warhorse】

Quality: Elite

HP: 1,000

Defense: 20

Movement Speed +50%

Skill: Leaping Stride

Overview: A top-tier war horse with incredible speed, capable of leaping 10 meters. Cannot be resurrected after death.

“Begin evolution.”

[Spent 30,000 Evolution Points, evolution successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Skeleton Cloud-splitting Horse.]

[Spent 40,000 Evolution Points, evolution successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Skeleton Frost-white Horse.]

[Spent 50,000 Evolution Points…]

…

…

[Spent 5 million Evolution Points, 50,000 Enhancement Points, breakthrough evolution successful. Congratulations on obtaining the Epic Lightning Steed.]

*Boom!*

As Jiang Cheng spent 38 million Evolution Points to evolve the Skeleton Warhorse into the Lightning Steed, the sky suddenly filled with dark clouds and lightning, covering the entire sky with thunderbolts.

Jiang Cheng focused his thoughts and found that the token in his hand had transformed into pure white jade, with golden runes replacing the original incantation.

Looking at the approaching Killing God’s Thousand Army, Jiang Cheng’s jaw bones moved as he slowly spoke.

“Northern Dipper Lightning Steed, divine aura rules the heavens, celestial red lightning, transform with mighty power!”

*Boom!*

The moment Jiang Cheng finished the incantation, a thunderclap exploded.

A golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the white jade token in Jiang Cheng’s hand.

*Bang!* The white jade token shattered into countless white particles, scattering like heavenly flowers.

Then, the golden runes from the token spread out, floating in mid-air.

Dazzling golden light shot out from the runes, illuminating all directions.

Where the golden light touched, the surrounding Killing God’s Thousand Army froze in their tracks, as if time had stopped.

*Neigh!*

A horse’s whinny suddenly echoed among the dark clouds.

Jiang Cheng looked up, focusing his gaze.

A white-maned horse made of white mist reared up in the endless dark clouds, letting out a clear neigh!

*Boom!*

A golden lightning bolt struck the white-maned horse’s body.

“Golden light condenses the soul, lightning gathers the spirit!”

A cold voice rang out from the sky.

The white-maned horse’s body gradually took form within the lightning, countless white hairs bathed in golden lightning, like a war god among horses.

Then, with a stamp of its hooves, trailing endless lightning, it flew down from the sky.

As it landed, sixteen golden runes from all directions entered the white-maned horse’s body.

*Boom!*

Its hooves struck the ground, sending countless rocks flying.

The air was filled with blood-red dust.

The white horse emerged from the dust, galloping to Jiang Cheng’s side. It knelt on all fours, golden lightning crackling around it as it bowed before him.

Jiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction and mounted the horse. As he raised its hooves, golden lightning spread out from Jiang Cheng in all directions along the ground.

Countless electric snakes danced wildly, kicking up light smoke from the ground.

The Lightning Steed reared up, its golden mane flowing in the wind, carrying Jiang Cheng away.

Where they passed, they left trails of white-gold afterimages.

At the same time, as the runes disappeared, the surrounding Killing God’s Thousand Army gradually regained their mobility.

But where was the black skeleton now?

“What just happened?”

Huang Yuan, the general of the Killing God’s Thousand Army, opened his eyes wide, completely baffled.

“Where’s the skeleton that killed Lord Mo You?”

Huang Yuan roared in anger, but no one could give him a complete answer.

…

*Neigh!*

“Thousand Shadow Illusions!”

A thousand afterimages flashed by, instantly covering a thousand meters.

A golden electric snake in the air, like a golden thread, tore through the night sky of the Blood Hell Forest.

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…*

Two Blood Hell Blade Guards were instantly killed by Jiang Cheng as he rode past on the Lightning Steed.

Thousand Shadow Illusions was the Lightning Steed’s skill, allowing it to cover a thousand meters in just one second at extreme speed.

It left behind a thousand afterimages, each with 300% of his own Attack power.

Jiang Cheng’s current Attack was 26,856, so with the 300% bonus, it reached over 80,000, naturally dealing terrifying damage.

The two Blade Guards being instantly killed as Jiang Cheng rode past didn’t surprise him at all.

The reason he had chosen to fully evolve the Skeleton Warhorse earlier was to see if evolving a species to its limit would give him unexpected surprises, and whether it could help him escape danger.

He didn’t expect such a big surprise, and it was indeed very significant.

Now this Lightning Steed had been forcibly evolved from Elite quality to Epic quality.

Its attributes were terrifying, and Thousand Shadow Illusions was just one of its skills.
