Chapter 308: Chapter 274: Proficient in Everything (Extra for the Magical Little Arrow!)

The black skeleton was as dead as could be.

Wu Xiaode shifted his gaze to the flying dragon, immobilized by the Enchanting Demon.

It resembled a Divine Dragon from the Ancient Era but emitted an ominous aura.

"Strange... what exactly is it?"

Wu Xiaode muttered to himself.

"Hee hee," the Enchanting Demon giggled coyly, "Master wants to know, so I’ll draw its spirit and see what’s in its memory."

"Can you see its memories?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course I can see everything," replied the Enchanting Demon.

She squeezed the dragon’s shadow forcefully.

The flying dragon suddenly shuddered.

The Enchanting Demon exclaimed sternly, "Recall the flashes of yesterday!"

A play of light and shadow appeared in the Void.

The Enchanting Demon said with a smile, "Master, please look, this is—"

Her expression suddenly changed, and she screamed, "No! This is a forbidden secret! There will be retribution!"

Before her sentence was finished, cracks began to appear on her bronze body.

As the Enchanting Demon’s entire body was about to disintegrate, she used her last strength to wave her hand and shouted harshly:

"Disperse!"

In an instant.

The light and shadow disappeared.

Subsequently, the Enchanting Demon completely crumbled into fragments, scattering into the sea.

The sudden change was so swift that Wu Xiaode was left dumbstruck.

"There are indeed unspeakable secrets in the world..."

He muttered to himself.

It was incredible.

Merely attempting to glimpse that matter could lead to death.

The Enchanting Demon had used her last strength to disperse the magic to protect herself.

Thinking back, it was a close call.

If he had known that secret, might he have died on the spot?

He looked at the Book of the Dead, noticing that lines of ice crystal letters had appeared on it:

"The bronze hand has shattered, but it can be regenerated."

"Your power of the Enchanting Demon has returned to you, but you’ll need a period of rest before you can use it again."

"Be careful."

"Before you’re strong enough, do not pry into the current secret again."

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

I never wanted to know such a horrifying secret!

—But with the Enchanting Demon gone, the dragon opposite him came back to life.

It stared intently at him.

Wu Xiaode calmed himself down and drew the Ying Yuan Sword, adopting a defensive stance.

"Remember, you just mentioned that you wanted me to save you?"

He continued with a smile, "Now that the black skeleton is done for, and you’re free, what are your plans next?"

The flying dragon suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a chilling voice not of this world:

"Is that one who hasn’t reincarnated you?"

Wu Xiaode was taken aback.

Not... reincarnated?

Where does this start?

Wait.

Could it be referring to an event from the past Epoch?

In the past Epoch, weren’t all immortals required to manifest in the mortal realm?

The Queen Mother of the West had said this herself; could it be false?

"I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but listen carefully, starting wars here will not be tolerated, or I won’t be polite," Wu Xiaode sternly said.

"Not be polite?" the dragon said sarcastically, "I will destroy everything you have until I find that person!"

Its body swiftly expanded, all flesh inside out, even revealing a complete spine of bones.

In that writhing flesh, faces began to emerge.

All the faces stared at Wu Xiaode and shouted in unison:

"Dragon Palace!"

In an instant.

A massive, dilapidated palace emerged from the Void.

The flying dragon swept lightly over it, danced briefly above the palace, and suddenly transformed into a dragon token.

A long hand emerged from the depths of the Dragon Palace, gently grasped the token, and then retracted.

For a moment.

A majestic voice resonated from the depths of the Dragon Palace:

"By the decree of the Dragon King."

"—Four Seas Destroy the World!"

Wu Xiaode had been wide-eyed since the beginning.

The scene before him was beyond his imagination, leaving him clueless on how to respond.

But when the command "Four Seas Destroy the World" was issued—

He knew things had escalated significantly.

Oh my god, could this actually be the Dragon God from the past Epoch?

Why must it find that un-reincarnated god?

Alright, even if you must search—

Don’t bring destruction to our world!

Thoughts flashed through Wu Xiaode’s mind, fading away until only one remained.

—He must prevent the destruction of the world!!!

He had witnessed firsthand the strength of the Golden Armored God’s methods.

Now left with merely two points of Soul Power, what could he use?

Wu Xiaode’s gaze skimmed over the Book of the Dead.

"Soul Power: 2/2; Will Power: 0; Merit: 1."

...Merit.

Merit!

Wu Xiaode’s body suddenly burst out with a layer of Golden Light and he exclaimed loudly,

"Water Army of the Heavenly River!"

Before his words had ended, the Dragon Palace had already begun to tremble nonstop, as if something extremely horrifying was about to appear.

However, the next instant.

A voice came from the sky:

"Stop."

All movement inside the Dragon Palace immediately ceased.

To Wu Xiaode’s surprise, this time there were no ludicrous interruptions from the sky.

Only a commanding voice said,

"By the decree of the heavenly law: True Gods must not descend to bring disaster upon the people, the penalty is death."

This voice traveled far and wide, echoing continuously throughout the Dragon Palace, until the palace fell into complete silence, no longer making any noise.

—Did it work?

True Gods causing disasters among people are to be executed?

Then why even bother with the Destruction?

Wu Xiaode looked towards the Book of the Dead, only to see a line of ice crystal small characters emerging:

"This time’s invocation of ’Water Army of the Heavenly River’ drew on the power of the heavenly decree: Supreme Chaotic Red Maiden Blue Decree; therefore, 1 point of Merit was expended."

"You have lost 1 point of Merit."

"Current Merit: 0."

The Merit was gone again.

But it didn’t matter, as long as he could overcome this moment, if he stayed in the Past Epoch for a while longer, he could obtain more Merit!

As Wu Xiaode was thinking, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.

A hysterical and furious roar came from the Dragon Palace: "No! Why can someone else still invoke the heavenly decree!"

Boom boom boom—

The entire Dragon Palace continued to tremble.

A gigantic white shadow emerged from the Dragon Palace, soared into the sky, and looked towards Wu Xiaode.

"It’s you!"

"What merits do you have that dare to act upon a heavenly decree!"

"I will judge your life and death!"

A stream of light swept down and struck Wu Xiaode directly.

Perhaps, knowing the urgency of the situation, the Book of the Dead frantically displayed a line of ice crystal small characters:

"You have been struck by the Immortal Technique · Life and Death Reincarnation Skill!"

"This technique is examining all your misdeeds."

"If you have the slightest wrongdoing, you must enter the Netherworld, suffer extreme tortures, and then you may be reincarnated!"

"Quick, think of something, if there’s no solution, you will definitely go to Hell!"

Wu Xiaode thought over all his abilities.

There was no solution.

If he had to say there was one, there was only one way!

Now he could only hope that the one who had mastered it all could help him endure this ordeal.

"Ulysses!"

Wu Xiaode cried out.

A dense mass of bronze hands emerged from the Void, quickly assembling into the figure of the Fallen Angel Ulysses.

Wu Xiaode patted him on the back.

Ulysses immediately came to life, his hands raised high holding a bundle of Holy Light, and roared in a solemn and commanding voice,

"By the compassion and mercy of the Lord above, grant a certificate that absolves all beings of their sins!"

The bundle of Holy Light fell upon Wu Xiaode.

Ulysses urged, "Quick! That Immortal Technique can kill you instantly, the only way to prevent it from taking effect is to be completely devoid of any sin—you must offer many valuables until my technique ceases to take any more donations."

"Understood," said Wu Xiaode.

—Holy Series skills cost money.

He already had a deep understanding of this, so he no longer hesitated.

Wu Xiaode waved his hand over the Holy Treasure Ring, immediately releasing countless Gold Coins and gemstones, submerging his knees.

However, the next instant, these treasures began to disappear.

They vanished so quickly that it even startled Wu Xiaode.

"Do I have so many misdeeds?"

He couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s not a matter of whether there are sins or not, it’s that your situation is extremely urgent, I’ve activated a High-level membership, so the cost will be higher—but the eradication of sins will be more thorough,"

explained Ulysses.

Wu Xiaode shrugged, releasing even more Gold Coins and gemstones.

These treasures were so abundant—

Fortunately, after a few breaths, the Holy Light on him ceased seeking any more treasures.

The Holy Light condensed in front of him, forming a certificate.

The certificate read:

"Redeemed: Wu Xiaode."

"Misdeed: Not detailed."

"Payment: 30,000 Gold Coins, 6,000 gemstones."

"This person’s all sins have been redeemed, hereby certified."

"—Heaven."

This was a Redemption Certificate!

Wu Xiaode clutched the Redemption Certificate and looked towards the Book of the Dead.

A line of ice crystal small characters had already appeared:

"The Immortal Technique · Life and Death Reincarnation Skill is fully depleted."

"You have no sins."

"You remain in the human world."

In the sky, the tremendous white shadow roared:

"Impossible!"
