Capítulo 1519: Chapter 665: Devouring Complete! Heaven-Defying Breakthrough! (Part 2)
The Ghost King spoke very plainly, but Lanling instantly understood that this Death Entanglement Skill was extremely terrifying.
“Puppetry Technique is about transforming the deceased on the battlefield into your undead army to fight for you. Of course, the duration is very short, only lasting for a maximum of two quarters of an hour.” The ghost image of the Ghost King said, “Because once a person dies, their soul drifts towards the Netherworld. Once their soul enters the Netherworld, the Puppetry Technique loses effect.”
Damn, this skill is even more defiant of the natural order!
With this Puppetry Technique, there will be an endless supply of soldiers on the battlefield.
It’s entirely like a kind of game-breaking bug.
Lanling said, “But aren’t these skills your exclusive tag, and once used, would alert the Dragon Temple that this person is a descendant of the Ghost King?”
The ghost image of the Ghost King laughed loudly and said, “Of course not. This is a brand-new skill I wrote before reincarnation. It’s merely a type of demonic technique. In the Southern Barbaric Lands, and even in the Dragon Temple, there are countless experts researching demonic techniques. I’ve already been targeted by the ultimate force of the Dragon Temple, so how could I pass on skills to you that bear the Ghost King’s label?”
Then, the ghost image of the Ghost King said, “The remaining energy is still enough for you to learn one more skill. Choose one from the three magics.”
“Nether Sword!” Lanling said.
Although the Hell Entanglement and Puppetry Technique are both incredibly defiant of the natural order, akin to a game-breaking bug, they are battlefield AoE skills, while Lanling now needs something for solo combat.
“Alright, I’ll transmit the Nether Sword’s skill to you then,” said the ghost image of the Ghost King, “Although it is the simplest of the three demonic techniques, it is also immensely complex, requiring countless energy transformations. So, how long it takes to learn and how much energy it consumes depends entirely on your aptitude. My heir, I hope you haven’t come this far just by luck.”
Next, the ghost image of the Ghost King began transmitting the Nether Sword’s skill manual into Lanling’s brain domain.
As it transmitted, it also remodeled Lanling’s brain domain, transforming his entire body, to adapt to the release of the Nether Sword.
If a person has enough mental aptitude, the spiritual power is strong enough, and the brain domain is large enough,
then the speed of learning demonic techniques is naturally much faster.
If a person’s bloodline aptitude is high, body aptitude high, and able to integrate much energy, then the remodeling cost is naturally low, with the energy needed for transforming the meridians also being much lower.
However, as soon as it started, the ghost image of the Ghost King was utterly shocked.
What is this mental aptitude? What kind of brain domain is this?
It began cautiously transmitting the energy data of the Nether Sword, afraid of transmitting too much at once, for fear of Lanling’s spiritual power being insufficient to comprehend too much, and preventing his brain domain from collapsing.
The energy data it transmitted was instantly received, instantly comprehended, and instantly engraved in Lanling’s brain domain.
What was expected to take a full quarter of an hour to comprehend was completed in an instant, in less than a second.
This… this is terrifying.
It’s like sending a massive dozen-gigabyte file to a computer, already highly overestimating the other party’s power, thinking it’s an I7 processor, with 128G of memory, and a 100MB fiber connection, expecting it to be transmitted and installed within about a quarter of an hour.
Unexpectedly, it was completed in just a second.
Because the other party was… the world’s No.1 ranked Tianhe-1 Supercomputer group.
So, the Ghost King increased the transmission of energy data, yet it was still instantly absorbed into Lanling’s brain domain, instantly received, instantly comprehended, and instantly engraved.
The Ghost King continued to increase, increase, increase…
In the end, the comprehension and remodeling process, expected to take a month, was completely finished in less than a quarter of an hour!
It was thought that the remaining energy would be exhausted since remodeling the brain domain and body meridians requires a lot of energy. Who knew that, after learning the Nether Sword, less than a tenth of the energy was used.
The ghost image of the Ghost King trembled, saying, “My successor, you… you make me feel inferior! No… possessing such mental and bloodline aptitude, there’s only one person…”
Next, the ghost image of the Ghost King trembled violently, seemingly about to dissipate.
After quite some time, it trembled and said, “You… you are Your Majesty…”
Then, it trembled and knelt, prostrating itself on the ground.
“The fourth Hell Knight greets Your Majesty, oh no, it’s the puppet of the fourth greeting Your Majesty!” The ghost image of the Ghost King prostrated itself on the ground, motionless, saying, “Your Majesty, the fourth has not betrayed you, I just tried to walk a different path, but failed.”
Lanling said, “I know, I don’t blame you. So what did you see on the moon?”
The ghost image of the Ghost King said, “Your Majesty, I’m just a spiritual puppet created by the Ghost King, so this secret I truly do not know.”
Lanling said, “It has reincarnated and wants to infiltrate within the Dragon Temple, do you know who it is?”
The ghost image of the Ghost King said, “Sorry, my Majesty. I was only created to guide the successor of the fourth. I have no further authority and thus no related information.”
Lanling said, “I understand.”
The ghost image of the Ghost King said, “Then shall I continue to transmit Death Entanglement and Puppetry Technique to you?”
“Alright,” Lanling said.
Next, the ghost image of the Ghost King knelt on the ground, continuing to teach the two battlefield-defying skills, Death Entanglement and Puppetry Technique.
As it transmitted and remodeled Lanling’s brain domain and body meridians.
Merely a quarter of an hour later, the comprehension of Death Entanglement was complete.
Then the teaching of the Puppetry Technique began.
Still, a quarter of an hour, the Puppetry Technique was transmitted, comprehended, and bodily remodeling completed.
Originally, Lanling could only learn one demonic skill according to the plan, who knew he’d immediately learn three.
However, at this time, it was Lanling’s soul in the Ghost King’s dimension, and his body was still in the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, so he couldn’t deploy these three defiant skills.
“Your Majesty, the energy I’ve left was originally planned to learn one demonic skill, who knew that after learning three, more than half remains!” The Ghost King said, “I’ll now continue to help you breakthrough your cultivation!”
“Good!” Lanling said.
Previously, the boost in Lanling’s cultivation by the Ghost King was brutally violent, locking his soul in armor, then using an explosion of energy to forcefully elevate his cultivation.
Now knowing Lanling wasn’t just the Ghost King’s successor, but indeed the Demon Emperor.
So, the ghost image of the Ghost King carefully infused the remaining energy into Lanling’s soul, then into Lanling’s body.
A full quarter of an hour later… Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N()velFire.net
All energy transmissions were complete!
At this point, all energy inside the Ghost King’s armor and Ghost King’s sword had been completely exhausted.
“My Emperor, your cultivation has broken through to the Five-Star Demon Sect!” The ghost image of the Ghost King said, “My mission is over; I will now disappear. It’s been an infinite honor in my brief life to serve you. I’m convinced our cause will succeed, and we’ll completely destroy the Dragon Temple; we’ll crush the current world, and you will surely ascend the throne of the world!”
With those words, the ghost image of the Ghost King gradually faded, quickly vanishing from Lanling’s field of view.
And Lanling’s journey to the Ghost King’s tomb was coming to an end, about to return to the real world.
Because the surrounding dimension of the Ghost King’s tomb was also gradually fading, gradually disappearing.
This trip to the Ghost King’s tomb gave Lanling far more than expected, much more abundant.
Not only did he gain the remnant energy of the Ghost King, breaking through to the Five-Star Demon Sect, but he also learned three powerful demonic skills.
And the greatest reward was realizing that the Ghost King was actually his fourth Hell Knight, and it was now infiltrating within the Dragon Temple.
