<h4>Chapter 346: Evolution</h4>


    As he went deeper, Lin Jiufeng also felt how terrifying the Death Realm was.


    Outside the periphery, there were many bones on the ground. The air was also filled with terrifying death energy. The sky became gloomy and frightening as if a great cmity wasing.


    Lin Jiufeng asked the two skeletons as he advanced rapidly.


    “Are there frequent battles in the depths of the Death Realm?”


    White Skeleton answered, “Yes, frequent. Amongst the skeletons, there are also different types. Each of them fights frequently.”


    “They have already be skeletons, and there are still different types?” Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand.


    ck Skeleton said, “Even though they have be skeletons, very few people can awaken their memories from their previous lives right at the beginning. Therefore, they think that they were skeletons from the beginning. Thus, it’s normal to have differentiation between races.”


    Lin Jiufeng understood.


    Continuing forward, he encountered some skeletons along the way, but they were no threat to Lin Jiufeng. As long as they didn’t stop Lin Jiufeng, he had no interest in dealing with these skeletons.


    Of course, there were also some skeletons that didn’t know the meaning of death and blocked his path.


    Then, Lin Jiufeng pointed out. Boiling hot energy erupted and directly vaporized them on the spot.


    Seeing this, the remaining shocked skeletons quickly moved away from Lin Jiufeng, not daring to disturb him.


    Flying at a low altitude, Lin Jiufeng constantly observed and discovered a dead and empty in in front of him.


    The ins were barren, looking iparably deste.


    There were also many bones inserted in some ces. Of course, the soul me of these bones had already been extinguished.


    ck Skeleton suddenly said, “I have a friend here. He lives here all year round. We can ask him the path to go deep into the Death Realm.”


    Lin Jiufeng and the two skeletons had never gone into the depths of the Death Realm before. It would naturally be for the best if there was a skeleton to inquire about.


    Lin Jiufeng didn’t refuse.


    White Skeleton said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a distant friend. It’s unexpected.”


    ck Skeleton counterattacked and said, “I’m a generous person, so I naturally have a lot of friends. I’m unlike you, who are as exquisite as a woman. Even when making friends, they will find you troublesome.”


    White Skeleton’s soul me flickered. It was very unwilling to hear these words.


    But ck Skeleton ignored it and directly headed for the ce where its friend was.


    They advanced continuously on the ins.


    In the end, ck Skeleton brought Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton to a castle.


    This castle was located in the highest area of the ins. It was built with bones and exuded the unique architectural style of the Death Realm.


    “How do you know this friend?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.


    White Skeleton also looked at ck Skeleton curiously.


    “In the past, when it was just born, it was in our area. I helped it through the initial difficult environment. We have kept in contact since then. After that, it left the periphery and came here to be a live-in son-inw,” ck Skeleton said.


    “What?” Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.


    “A live-in son-inw?” The Death Realm even had such a thing? Two skeletons working together to give birth to a little skeleton?


    This greatly exceeded Lin Jiufeng’s understanding.


    “It’s very normal. In the Death Realm, nothing will surprise you. Some female skeletons are very independent and powerful, but there are also some female skeletons that like to find male skeletons as partners. Their spirits can fuse together, and that feeling is veryfortable,” White Skeleton said, its words carrying a trace of memory.


    “Have you experienced it before?” Lin Jiufeng looked at White Skeleton.


    White Skeleton’s soul me flickered as it said, “Once. I was young and ignorant and encountered a very gorgeous woman.”


    “What about you?” Lin Jiufeng looked at ck Skeleton.


    “I didn’t. This kind of thing is very dangerous, okay?” ck Skeleton immediately shook its head, its tone showing rejection.


    “Is it dangerous?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.


    “Yes, it’s indeed very dangerous. When the male and female skeletons are together and undergo a soul fusion, it’s equivalent topletely handing over your safety to the other party. As long as the other party has any bad intentions, you will be severely injured. Countless top skeletons have their soul mes devoured because of this matter. Therefore, in the Death Realm, there are also female skeletons who specialize in tempting male skeletons to fuse their souls and devour the other party’s soul at the moment of the peak.” White Skeleton nodded.


    A sentence immediately appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.


    There was a de above the word ‘lust’.


    They were already skeletons, yet they still thought of that kind of thing. Lin Jiufeng was really speechless.


    When Lin Jiufengmunicated with White Skeleton, ck Skeleton had already contacted its friend.


    A skeleton walked out of the castle.


    Unlike the other skeletons, this was a ‘red skeleton’. The bones all over its body were crystal clear like blood-red crystals, flickering with a dream-like luster.


    At first, Lin Jiufeng thought that it was a Perfected Immortal-level red soul me.


    But on a closer look, it was onlypletely red on the body, but the soul me wasn’t.


    Its soul me was purple, and it was the kind of light purple that had golden edges.


    This meant that it was already at the peak of the purple soul me. It wasn’t far from the next realm of the golden soul me.


    After it appeared, it immediately hugged ck Skeleton and sized up Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton. It wanted to invite them into the castle.


    “There’s no need for us to go in. The main reason why we came to look for you is to ask you, what dangers are there in going deeper into the Death Realm?” ck Skeleton refused and came straight to the point.


    “You guys want to go deep into the Death Realm?” The red skeleton that looked like a red crystal asked in surprise.


    ck Skeleton nodded.


    “Didn’t you always refuse to leave thefort zone?” The red skeleton asked.


    “Times change, I also changed my mind,” ck Skeleton said.


    “Why does this person have flesh and blood?” The red skeleton pointed at Lin Jiufeng and asked in surprise.


    “He’s a wisp of a remnant soul, different from us,” ck Skeleton exined.


    “A remnant soul? I haven’t seen one in a long time. They are very rare,” the red skeleton said with emotion.


    “We are going to explore the depths of the Death Realm together now. Do you have a map?” ck Skeleton asked again.


    “Yes, I’ll bring it to you now. It’s in the castle,e in.” The red skeleton invited again.


    ck Skeleton hesitated for a while and looked at Lin Jiufeng.


    “We will just wait outside. We still have to hurry after obtaining the map,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.


    He felt that this red skeleton’s motive wasn’t pure. Unlike ck Skeleton and White Skeleton, it wanted to invite Lin Jiufeng into the castle several times.


    Moreover, most importantly, after it came out, it stared at Lin Jiufeng the most.


    Lin Jiufeng’s perception was very sharp. Especially now that he was a wisp of a remnant soul, his perception was even sharper now.


    From the moment he came out until now, the red skeleton had looked at him 30 times. Although its gaze would sweep past him every time and rarely look at him directly, how could these escape Lin Jiufeng’s perception?


    Hence, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t enter the castle. This castle was the red skeleton’s territory, who knew what was inside?


    “Alright, I’ll go in and get the map for you guys.” The red skeleton didn’t insist. It turned around and entered the castle.


    White Skeleton chuckled and said to ck Skeleton, “This friend of yours isn’t simple.”


    It also sensed the red skeleton’s attitude.


    ck Skeleton fell silent and said, “Let’s wait and see. It wasn’t like this back then. I saved it many times before. Now, I’m just asking it to give me a map.”


    “The map isn’t a problem. The key problem is that it’s most likely targeting me,” Lin Jiufeng said.


    “A wisp of a remnant soul that’s so condensed that it looks like a creature of flesh and blood. If it absorbs and devours you, you will definitely be a great supplement. It seems that the red skeleton is at a critical moment. As long as it devours you, it should be able to step into the golden soul me level.” White Skeleton instantly analyzed the red skeleton’s thoughts.


    “Can the two of you defeat it?” Lin Jiufeng asked.


    “Yes!” ck Skeleton said firmly.


    It wasn’t in a good mood now because the red skeleton’s attitude and target were both quite naked. Since White Skeleton could feel it, ck Skeleton naturally could too.


    When the red skeleton was just born, it was obedient, sensible, and grateful. ck Skeleton had saved the red skeleton many times, but it never thought of asking for repayment from the red skeleton. But now, the red skeleton even ced its thoughts on Lin Jiufeng.


    ck Skeleton was the one who brought Lin Jiufeng here. Wasn’t this a direct p to its face?


    Although skeletons didn’t have a face, ck Skeleton felt ufortable.


    Hence, it immediately said that it could defeat the red skeleton.


    The meaning was obvious.


    If something really happened, ck Skeleton would settle it.


    “Don’t be sad. All people change, let alone a skeleton.” Lin Jiufeng sensed ck Skeleton’s depressed mood andforted it.


    White Skeleton said stiffly, “Sometimes, receiving too much help will lead to hatred. Although you didn’t ask for repayment when helping the red skeleton, it might think that it’s only right and proper for you to help it. Moreover, it might even think that helping it is your duty. Moreover, it has its eyes on Great Emperor Jiufeng now and it doesn’t take you seriously at all. Your vision is really bad to take a fancy to such a skeleton.”


    Although it was just words offort, when it came out of White Skeleton’s mouth, the taste wasn’t right.


    Of course, ck Skeleton didn’t mind.


    If White Skeleton reallyforted it in a normal manner, it would be very surprising.


    The two of them had been fighting for so many years, their feelings for each other were veryplicated.


    As they were talking, the door of the castle opened again.


    This time, it wasn’t just the red skeleton that came out. There was also a skeleton that looked like a diamond. Its posture was very enchanting. Its soul me was also purple in color, and the borders had threads of gold. It was in the same realm as the red skeleton.


    Behind them, a few more purple soul me skeletons came out and surrounded Lin Jiufeng’s group.


    Lin Jiufeng’s expression didn’t change. He had already guessed this.


    White Skeleton was also very calm as it watched this scene.


    As for ck Skeleton, its soul mes burned fiercely. It looked at the red skeleton and questioned, “What do you mean?”


    “I don’t mean anything else. My wife and I need this wisp of the remnant soul to break through. I’ve already prepared the map that you want. This is a hand-drawn map that a very powerful skeleton brought back from the depths of the Death Realm. Take it. In exchange, leave this wisp of remnant soul and the white skeleton behind,” the red skeleton said coldly.


    “I’ve saved you quite a few times, but I’ve never asked you for any favors. I’m only taking a map from you now, and this is how you treat me?” ck Skeleton was angry, and its words were very cold.


    “You talk too much crap. Did I ask you to save me back then?” The red skeleton said disdainfully.


    “Saving me is just a casual thing for you. You did it because you were bored. Don’t make yourself sound so noble. I achieved what I have today not because of you. Giving you a map is because we were acquaintances. Don’t make trouble for yourself. There are only three of you, but we have six purple soul mes on our side,” the red skeleton said coldly, looking like a different person from its previous enthusiasm.


    “I like that wisp of remnant soul. He’s simply too good-looking. He’s handsome, elegant, white, and clean. His looks are simply what I like. I really can’t bear to devour him,” the female skeleton said with a charming voice.


    “Hurry up and take the map and get lost. This is the end of our rtionship. I’m definitely going to absorb this white skeleton and this wisp of remnant soul today,” the red skeleton said coldly.


    ck Skeleton didn’t answer. Instead, it looked at Lin Jiufeng.


    “Great Emperor Jiufeng, I judged this skeleton wrongly this time and brought you trouble. Please wait a moment,” ck Skeleton bowed and apologized.


    “It’s okay. It’s fine as long as you aren’t sad.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He was very calm and didn’t take this matter to heart at all.


    Lin Jiufeng’s experience in life made him not take the red skeleton seriously at all.


    After ck Skeleton apologized, it turned around to look at the red skeleton and walked over.


    “What are you doing?” White Skeleton asked curiously.


    “Please wait for a few minutes. I’m going to handle some private matters and some trash,” ck Skeleton said coldly without looking back.


    “Do you need help?” Lin Jiufeng asked. After all, the other side had six purple soul me skeletons.


    “No need. Please wait a moment.” ck Skeleton refused. It was very angry now. It wanted to vent its anger.


    Boom!


    The battle instantly began. ck Skeleton didn’t give the red skeleton a chance to speak at all. It waved its fist and smashed down ruthlessly.


    A terrifying might and ck energy filled Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton’s eyes.


    “Can ck Skeleton fight against six?” Lin Jiufeng was a little suspicious of this.


    Among these six skeletons, two were at the peak of the purple soul me level.


    Of course, they were nothing much in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.


    But he was worried that ck Skeleton wouldn’t be able to defeat them.


    However, White Skeleton said confidently, “We are in the periphery because we are timid. We are very afraid to the bone, not because we are weak. Instead, because we often fight, only I know how terrifying ck Skeleton is. Just wait a few minutes.”


    Lin Jiufeng watched silently.


    Although ck Skeleton said to wait a few minutes, a minuteter, it personally crushed the red skeleton and its wife’s soul. It opened its mouth and inhaled, absorbing their soul mes and breathing heavily.


    The other four skeletons were also killed by ck Skeleton in a violent manner.


    Along the way, ck Skeleton even destroyed the castle.


    Its soul me rose, purple light overflowed, and finally transformed into golden light.


    After absorbing six soul mes of the same level, ck Skeleton evolved.


    “Back then, I personally saved you and gave you life!”


    “Now, I will personally end you and devour your life!”


    “Actually, I’ve never been a good person. You’re one of the few good things I’ve done.”


    “But you let me down!”


    ck Skeleton looked at the ruins and said softly.
