The Growth of a God

Chapter 19: Half-Step True God (3/5)


Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder echoed frequently in the mist, and flames flickered briefly in the storm.

Li Hao, who witnessed everything, knew that the battle between Ji Meng and Yuyu wouldn't end anytime soon.

After all, when Yuyu was still Yayu, Ji Meng had fought against him for years, only barely capturing him with the help of his clan.

Even considering Yuyu's power being greatly diminished now.

But that troublesome Immortal Body is enough to keep Ji Meng occupied for a long time.

From a certain perspective, Yuyu's Immortal Body has reached the level of a Half-Step True God, just a step away from transcending the dimension of life to become a True God.

If it weren't for the peculiar existence of the Immortals in the Mountain and Sea Realm, absolutely no one would dare to compete with Yuyu in terms of immortality.

So, rather than the battle between Ji Meng and Yuyu, Li Hao was more focused on Mang Qi in the City of Corpse.

[Is it Yayu's bones?]

The Skeletons are entities born from the bones of other creatures.

Even though the Skeletons have mastered the technology to artificially create their kind, those naturally born remain the largest source of population for this race.

Obviously, Mang Qi and his brothers are beings birthed from Yuyu's bones.

Li Hao wasn't sure if it was the custom of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Or if dealing with those with an Immortal Body requires such an approach.

Ji Meng's body was divided into five parts, with the head suppressed at the center of the earth, and the limbs sealed at the four extremes.

Yuyu's fate was evidently a bit more tragic.

Bones and flesh were separated, and even his own Spirituality and Wisdom were completely eradicated.

If it weren't for A Ke finding Yuyu's remnant flesh while exploring ancient civilization relics...

If it weren't for the Skeletons' research that accidentally "activated" Yuyu's remaining flesh...

If it weren't for Yuyu's bones resurrecting into a Skeleton and being taken to the City of Corpse...

If it weren't for Mang Si's sudden whim to steal something from the Reception Library...

Any one of these coincidences missing, and Yuyu couldn't have been reborn in such a manner.

[Then the question arises, which part of Yuyu's bones is Mang Qi?]

Yuyu's spine, limbs, and skull became Mang Yi, Mang Er, Mang San, Mang Si, Mang Wu, and Mang Liu respectively.

Now, with the collection of these part's bones, Yuyu has basically completed all the conditions for his own rebirth.

So what part of the bone will Mang Qi be?

Why does Yuyu seem especially obsessed with Mang Qi, even willing to expose Mang Si, whom he has already assimilated?

Even A Ke could see that if it wasn't for the desire to devour Mang Qi, the now re-smarted Yuyu wouldn't have exposed Mang Si's existence.

.........................................................

In a blink, more than a month had past since the battle between Ji Meng and Yuyu.

Unsurprisingly, the events occurring in the City of Corpse have alarmed White Bone City, the alliance of the Hundred Races of Mountains and Seas, and even the Immortals hidden in the dark.

Everyone who arrived in the City of Corpse could hear the continuous sounds of battle emanating from the mist and storm.

For this reason, a huge temporary fort was built on the edge of this city, originally just for exiling criminals, to monitor and observe the battle at the center of the storm and mist.

"When do you think their battle will end?"

Flapping his wings gently, Peng Bo curiously asked, landing beside He Li without knowing when.

"How would I know?"

"Besides, this kind of thing should be cared about by the Prophets of Zhiku, right!"

As a professional combatant, He Li's job now is to pay attention to the movements of the storm and mist, and to report the situation to the higher-ups at any time.

"What about you? Aren't you supposed to be monitoring strange phenomena in the sky?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Bo could only shake his head helplessly and said in a complaining tone.

"I wish!"

"But the boss won't let me go!"

The "boss" Peng Bo referred to was naturally Bone Chant.

Bone Chant hurried to the City of Corpse as soon as he received news, and then commanded the Skeletons and members of the Hundred Races to prepare for battle at any time.

"Are there any newcomers? Who has arrived this time?"

Understanding the meaning of a musical string, He Li immediately guessed what Peng Bo had just done.

With Bone Chant's arrival, not only did the Serpent Race dispatch its members.

The Hundred Races of Mountains and Seas, upon learning this news, also sent their elites one after another.

Merfolk, Ya Yan, Zhujian, Li Li, Gu Diao, Quanshu, Azure Bird, and even the extremely rare Nine-tailed Fox...

No matter what these members of the Hundred Races were doing before, they dispatched their best members here in the shortest time to discuss how to deal with that resurrected Immortal Fierce Beast.

This also displayed Bone Chant's prestige in the Hundred Races Alliance, now rivaling that of the former Saint King Bone Life.

"This time, it's Hu Jiao, who is said to be the eldest son of the strongest leader in their territory."

Hu Jiao also belongs to the Hundred Races of Mountains and Seas, but they weren't one of the members that joined the Alliance during the time of the Saint King.

Because what Hu Jiao's race worships is Power; they joined the Alliance as a new race purely because they were won over by Bone Chant.

It's said that these tiger-headed, human-bodied, striped beings all possess the might to lift mountains.

There's even a rumor in the Alliance that when Bone Chant discovered this race, they were considering how to hunt the giant creature flying across the sky.

"Those boorish fellows are here?"

He Li shook his skull somewhat speechless.

Of course, He Li knew that the widely circulated "Legend" within the Alliance isn't actually a legend.

Hu Jiao's tribe initially indeed wanted to hunt Bone Chant.

Unexpectedly, they were subdued by Bone Chant and officially joined the Hundred Races Alliance thereafter.

Judging by this alone, Hu Jiao's race could be considered one of the more pure and barbaric races within the Hundred Races.

"Did you get into a fight with them?"

Thinking of this, He Li finally noticed Peng Bo's somewhat disheveled appearance.

Considering the impulsive nature of Hu Jiao's tribe, He Li's question received an affirmative response from Peng Bo.

"Those bastards said it was sparring, but each strike aimed to be lethal."

"But despite my appearance now, they're not doing well either."

Full of pride, Peng Bo was recognized as the one closest to Ascension among the Serpent Race.

Except for being a bit timid and cowardly, other hard conditions couldn't be intimidated by Hu Jiao's tribe.

"Hmm, I can see that."

Holding back laughter, He Li agreed with Peng Bo and then cast his gaze towards a nearby Burrowing Insect.

He was using a special device to sense and analyze the source of the ground vibrations to locate Ji Meng and Yuyu precisely.
