Chapter 181 Strange (Part 1)_2
He stripped off the burial clothes disdainfully and tossed them aside, then shamelessly returned to his "birth point" butt naked, and luckily found his mobile phone there.
He pressed the power button, but there was no response.
The phone had run out of battery and powered off.
However, Chen Yu didn't mind and instead raised the screen. Using the reflection on the screen, he checked the title above his head.
——[Holy Pregnant Woman]
Still labeled as "pregnant woman."
That also meant he hadn't been dead for long.
No more than a month, at most.
Because a month later, the title above his head would have changed long ago.
"Oh, it's also possible that when I died, the title stayed frozen..."
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu asked the monkey beside him, "You cheeky monkey, do you know how long I've been dead?"
Monkey: "Squeak squeak!"
Chen Yu: "Speak if you're gonna squeak."
Monkey: "Squeak squeak squeak!"
Chen Yu: "Scram."
Monkey: "..."
Ignoring the suddenly silent monkey, Chen Yu looked back at the "birth point," recalling the "dream" he just had.
It was exactly the same as the hallucination after ingesting the soul pearl last time.
Only the setting had changed.
"Once is a coincidence."
"Twice, there must be a reason."
Taking a breath, he set aside the nagging doubts in his heart and looked around the third floor of this ancestral human tomb, a wave of excitement sweeping through his body.
So many graves.
Under each tombstone lay a Rank A supreme corpse!
Based on the "Alchemy procedure" he had devised before, this could at least "spawn" over ten supernatural abilities!
And over fifteen levels of the Body Refinement Secret Skill...
"Worth it."
Chen Yu clenched his fist excitedly.
He used a Rank A skill——[(A-Level) (Golden) Flaming Phoenix Tail: After death, one and only one chance to resurrect in full glory in the current timeline.]
In exchange for countless Rank As.
He made a huge profit on this deal!
Without any hesitation, Chen Yu immediately walked to a nearby grave and used the "Teleport" superpower.
"Swoosh!"
He disappeared on the spot, leaving behind a dirty mess.
Three seconds later, he reappeared out of thin air.
He now held a corpse in his arms.
And just like the [Fallen Corpse of a Thousand Years] from before, this corpse's complexion was rosy and its skin full and elastic.
"Thud!"
He threw down the corpse.
Ignoring the monkey's erratic jumping and yelling in the distance, Chen Yu repeated the process.
In no time at all,
he had taken out all the Rank A highest corpses from the tombs on the third floor of this ancestral tomb and piled them together.
He formed a small mountain of corpses.
Dusting off his hands, he looked at the small mound before him with satisfaction, then returned to the "birth point" and retrieved his weapon—Sister Bai Fang—from the coffin.
"Badass."
"All my possessions were buried with me..."
"..."
"Huh?"
"Damn it!"
Chen Yu suddenly burst into a rage, "Where are my soul pearls?! All gone?!"
"And those three Divine Artifacts!"
"Even the decree! The decree is gone too!"
"Boom——"
Flames ignited instantaneously around him.
Chen Yu's eyes faintly whitened, feeling an urge to rush to the Transcendent realm and fight.
"F***ing hell!"
"***MB***..."
"Stealing from the dead?"@@novelbin@@
"WDNMD..."
After a good round of swearing,
he forcibly calmed himself, picked up Sister Bai Fang, and walked to the front of the corpse mountain, beginning to arrange the "ingredients" one by one.
He knew.
His most important task right now was to replicate these Rank A supreme skills to rapidly enhance his power.
The rest could be completely ignored.
Once he successfully ascended to the supreme level, he would naturally go out and settle scores and grudges.
In total, there were eighteen corpses.
Twelve of them bore the title [Fallen Corpse of a Thousand Years], needing further processing.
Only six were [Dead Corpses], which he could cut up and directly refresh the skills.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh——"
In a brisk manner,
he butchered those six [Dead Corpses], spawning twenty-five skills.
As Chen Yu expected, not a single "Golden Legend" appeared.
In the distance, the third-floor guardian beast—the monkey—could no longer bear to watch and turned to run toward the second floor.
A gleam flashed in Chen Yu's eyes as he decisively punched it.
"Thud!"
The monkey was knocked out cold.
"Dare to snitch? Believe it or not, I'll chop you up too."
Monkey: "..." Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Returning to the "factory," Chen Yu carefully reviewed the twenty-five skills and copied only a decent red physique—[(B+ Grade) (Red) Turtle's Longevity: Even the turtle, with its longevity, couldn't outlive you. You truly are an adult turtle boxer, with the spirit of a cunning old turtle.]
He then unleashed his supernatural abilities and with those twelve [A Thousand-Year Fallen Corpses], blasted them all into mincemeat!
Twenty minutes later.
Chen Yu stopped working and wiped the sweat from his brow.
All the bodies now bore the title [Rotting Flesh].
It was one of his past titles.
"Next step, I'll 'alchemy' them to feces."
Being human, he naturally wouldn't eat these things.
So he thought again of the husky on the first layer of the ancestral tomb.
And also of the tight-dressed woman guarding the second layer.
"Hmm..."
After a moment's thought, Chen Yu, being cautious, used his abilities to change his own appearance into that of a monkey.
He then walked to the intermediate chamber between the third and second layers, lifted the sealed door, and peeked towards the second layer.
Seeing nothing amiss, he climbed down to the second floor.
But as soon as he turned a corner, he saw the tight-dressed woman sitting cross-legged ahead.
Chen Yu: "...Squeak squeak."
The woman's eyes snapped open, her gaze sharp and her tone icy, "Go back!"
Chen Yu lifted his legs and ran.
He fled back to the third layer.
Chen Yu: "Damn it."
He sighed heavily, overwhelmed with relief, scratching his head frantically.
Clearly.
With that A-Grade top force guarding the second layer, he couldn't go to the first layer or bring back the husky.
Then the only choice left for him was...
Chen Yu's gaze turned dark, staring at the doorway to the fourth layer.
'With such scarce top-tier combat strength in the Transcendent realm of humanity, it's unlikely they'd station an A-Grade every two layers, right?'
'So the fourth layer is probably guarded by some creature.'
'And moreover, the fourth layer might have even more incredible corpses...'
His mind raced.
The moment he thought of it, he immediately ran to the door leading to the fourth layer, lay down, and opened a small gap in the door before tentatively knocking.
"Dong dong dong."
There was no response from inside.
After waiting patiently for three minutes, Chen Yu used more strength and knocked again.
"Dong dong dong dong!!"
Still no response from the fourth layer.
This likely meant there were no humans stationed below.
Only then did he feel relieved and fully opened the door, jumping down with a bend of his knees.
"Bang."
His feet hit the ground heavily.
The connection between the third and fourth layers of the ancestral tomb was still a small chamber.
No different from other floors.
But for some reason, the moment Chen Yu landed on the fourth layer, he instinctively felt something was off.
It was an odd sensation—a discrepancy in touch, sight, hearing, and smell.
As if the third and fourth layers were two worlds with different "physical rules."
Furrowing his brows, Chen Yu looked up at the third layer, thought for a moment, suppressed the primal urge in his heart, and cautiously stepped forward, peering beyond the chamber.
His pupils slightly constricted.
This fourth layer...
Was completely empty!
Extremely spacious!
With only a rectangular transparent object in the very center.
"This is... holy shit! A crystal coffin!"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up.
He was all too familiar with these crystal coffins.
The coffins on the third layer that housed the A-Grade highest-ranking were made of this material.
This also proved that within the crystal coffin on the fourth layer, there must definitely be a corpse!
'The entire fourth layer of the ancestral tomb, all to myself?'
Chen Yu's breathing hastened.
"Could it be the Great Emperor inside?"
Swallowing hard, he couldn't wait to run out of the chamber.
Cautiously observing the surroundings, he rushed to the crystal coffin.
"Huh?"
Chen Yu's eyebrow quirked.
This crystal coffin was different from those on the third layer.
Aside from the gold trim, the lid was an opaque frosted style.
He couldn't see inside clearly.
But through the shadows, he could confirm that indeed there was a corpse lying inside.
"Oi oi oi!"
"Bang!!"
Chen Yu, having no regard for the saying "respect the dead," simply kicked the coffin lid off.
He couldn't wait to look inside.
And then he was struck as if by lightning!
Inside, it was...
"The consort?!!"
Trembling, Chen Yu touched the beautiful woman's forehead inside the coffin.
"Consciousness dissipated..."
"Dead..."
...
What do you think?
