Chapter 535 - 341: The Legend of Dead Bone, The Mysterious Merchant Returns (5.8K)_2
It was preparing for the breakthrough into the Legendary Realm.
At this time, there were not many mighty practitioners from the territory who came to observe and learn. Most of the commanders were either stationed at Wolf Head Mountain or the Soul Sand Mine or engaging enemies in the wilderness.
Thus, they could not attend such an important event.
They could only wait until their shift ended and they returned to the territory to watch the scenes recorded by the Crystal of Image Retain. Compared to seeing it in person, the crystal's recordings ultimately lacked much flavor.
"It's about to start."
The Tianyuan Territory's experience in breaking through to the Legendary Realm was still insufficient, and their preparations were far from adequate compared to other lords.
But,
The one breaking through was General Dead Bone.
Not only was Mu Yuan full of confidence, but so were the other commanders present. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the event.
"Compared to General Duo Lai, Mr. Dead Bone's experience and process of breaking through must be more worthwhile to learn from, right?"
"Yes, Duo Lai's power was too overwhelming. We don't have the ability to mimic that, and many of his moves are too rough to serve as a reference for us. But Boss is different; Boss is accustomed to achieving perfection in every aspect, and that is indeed worth our diligent study."
The Ice Heart Lotus Platform operated at full power.
The arrays and patterns hummed to life.
All sorts of arrangements and preparations were sequentially activated, and after several hundred seconds...
"Everything is ready."
Dead Bone's eyes lit up with a ghostly glow.
Dead Bone ignited his will and entered the Extreme Sublimation State.
Dead Bone burst forth with a soaring brilliance.
Dead Bone broke through.
Hum——
The soaring brilliance slowly converged, and Dead Bone was now lifted by the Heavenly and Earthly Great Power, suspended in midair, commencing the process of transformation and sublimation.
Its breakthrough had already...
"Ended?"
"Uh, it seems like, maybe, probably it's ended."
"Wait a second, I just blinked, come on!"
"You dared to blink while observing Boss's breakthrough? I've noted this grudge on behalf of our Boss!"
"I didn't blink the entire time, but just now, did something happen?"
The process of Dead Bone's breakthrough was too fast and too uneventful.
It ended in a snap.
Everyone was watching.
If Duo Lai's breakthrough was done with brute force, then Dead Bone's process can be branded 'silky smooth.' The entire process was incredibly fluid, with one step smoothly following the next, concealing profound mysteries, making everyone feel as if in a mere daze, as though nothing had happened, it was over.
In the process of breaking through, had Dead Bone achieved perfection in every aspect?
Yes.
How much of this perfect process of breakthrough did the commanders understand?
Less than 50%.
And zero is also less than 50%.
One day later, in the territory, the Skeleton Cemetery area.
Dead Bone's Domain had expanded to a radius of twelve hundred meters. This scale was slightly less than Duo Lai's initial foray, but it could leave other newly promoted legends far behind.
Moreover...
In contrast to Duo Lai's crude use of his Domain, Dead Bone emphasized precision and aimed to utilize every aspect of his Domain.
Boom boom boom——
The Wraith Sacred Mountain emerged.
Upon it, the second and third Wells of Death emerged following Dead Bone's will.
Stepping into the Legendary Realm, the territorial range of its Wraith Sacred Mountain, along with its Domain, had also surged. Whereas before it could only construct a single Well of Death, now it could build more.
It extended its hand, and strands of golden light emerged.
This was not the power of Heaven and Earth, but will, a substantive manifestation of the king's authority. It turned the invisible force of deterrence into something with shape and form.
Having stepped into the Legendary Realm, merely through the talent 'King's Might,' Dead Bone could make the majority of the elemental particles in the world submit.
When it came to commanding the Power of Heaven and Earth, Dead Bone was even slightly better than Duo Lai.
Of course, Duo Lai had now developed the 'Whale Swallow' tactic and no longer used the outdated method of commandment.
Dead Bone didn't need to either.
It reached out its hand, and the dark elemental particles within thousands of kilometers swarmed towards it. These particles were very proactive, and Dead Bone hardly needed to expend much of its own energy to boast the Heavenly and Earthly Great Power.
In the blink of an eye, it shaped a hundred-meter-long black giant hand with white bones embedded within the palm print.
Dead Bone, with its extremely strong control, maintained this massive hand.
It dispersed the power of the hand and then in an instant gathered a River of Netherworld far surpassing the previous scale.

These techniques appeared very powerful, but it wasn't satisfied.
"Too slow."
"The speed of commanding and gathering the Power of Heaven and Earth is too slow."
With the enhancement of King's Might, its control over the elements of Heaven and Earth was actually much faster than other legends, but to accumulate the Power of Heaven and Earth still required several breaths.
Besides,
The River of Netherworld it had just amassed was already very vast and massive enough. In such a case, even if it were to expand the River of Netherworld tenfold, the killing power against a single individual would not increase by much.
At most, it just used less energy.
But if a battle reached the point where it had to compete in attrition against an enemy, then that would be… too dangerous!
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Dead Bone had already thought of a strategy long ago, but before stepping into the Legendary Realm, its plans were simply plans, unable to be verified.
It took out a book provided by the Lord, "Advanced Legend," to review and learn anew.
This book described some rather unconventional operations in the Legendary Realm.
Usually,
Battles in the Legendary Realm are about Domain confrontations and both sides controlling massive and cumbersome forces of Heaven and Earth to bombard each other from a distance.
Even if a strong practitioner specialized in close combat or physical fighting before breaking through to Legendary, they would mostly transform into a 'shape of a turret' after the breakthrough. Legends from the Warrior Series would at most draw sword lights hundreds of meters long to continue the bombardment against their opponents.
