Chapter 1966: The Sage’s core

The first thought in Song Shuhang’s mind was whether the Sage had become crazy and couldn’t help but pounce on this item that had Fairy Skylark’s aura.

However, he overturned that idea immediately.

Because the actions of the Sage’s eye did not seem the result of an impulse. Whether it was the magical technique that was stored in his eye before he died, or when the eye slammed into the box, it seemed all part of a plan.

It was not that the Sage had predicted that the fat ball would take away the bone of eternity before his fall. It was more likely that he was prepared for a situation where Skylark lost the bone of eternity.

This was despite the Sage never seeing her again ever since he was separated from her as a boy, although it was more pride rather than the lack of means to find her.

Anyway, before the Sage fell, he left a lot of defensive means for Skylark. Song Shuhang knew about Dharma King Creation, who specialized in resisting the Indestructible Lord’s demonic will.

Emotions were the most incomprehensible thing in the world.

??????

So, what does the Sage’s eye want to do?

A bold assumption emerged in Song Shuhang’s mind.

Is he trying to resurrect?

The biggest advantage of the bone of eternity is the ability to resurrect every time one is killed.

Senior Skylark left behind a small mountain of body parts because of the bone of eternity.

......

The Scholarly Sage still has one eye left, and if the eye were to fuse together with the bone of eternity, could a whole Scholarly Sage come out?

If he comes back to life, there will be a second act of the battle for the position of Wielder of the Heaven’s Will from long ago…

??????

The Sage’s eye was firmly glued to Skylark’s bone of eternity.

However, the Sage did not show any signs of resurrecting.

Taking advantage of the time when the fat ball’s body was still bound by the [Sacred Burial Valley], the Sage’s eye took the bone of eternity through a spatial gate.

Song Shuhang’s consciousness once again experienced the thrill of “soaring” with Sage’s eye.

It was the kind of feeling that made one’s legs go soft.

When the “soaring” ended, Song Shuhang’s consciousness was back in the main world, in the combat space above the scholarly faction.

The Sage’s eye returned to his left eye socket, and the bone of eternity appeared in the Scholarly Sage’s left hand.

The other hand of the Sage slapped the fat ball’s clone away. Among the loud explosions of the artillery, the two figures separated.

[It finally ended!] Song Shuhang’s consciousness looked at the bone of eternity in his hand.

There’s no mistaking it. This is definitely the bone of eternity.

Without the bone of eternity, the power of the fat ball would no longer be able to extend to the main world—and so, this clone should no longer be able to move.

At that time, there won’t even be a need for the Sage to take action. The Heavenly Punishment should come down on its own and obliterate this clone.

The Sage’s palm grasped the bone of eternity tightly.

[Don’t do that! Don’t hold it so tightly!] Song Shuhang desperately conveyed his thoughts to the Sage. If he was going to hold it so tightly, it would hurt a lot.

The secret appraisal technique was activated once again.

After the right palm appraised something, it was the turn of the left one. Then after that, it was again the turn of the right palm.

The cost of appraising the bone of eternity wasn’t any less than the cost of appraising the fat ball’s clone.

If not because he was possessed by the Sage’s obsession, which strengthened Song Shuhang’s physique and mental energy, Song Shuhang would have already exploded and died by now.

The price of the three appraisals had far exceeded his limit.

A golden clock emerged on the bone of eternity, and its hands started spinning counterclockwise. The information about the bone of eternity was being appraised.

The appraisal was successful once again, and information flooded Song Shuhang’s mind.

[The Netherworld Ruler Fat Ball’s secret White-Killing Bone No. 2. It is an imitation of Fairy Skylark’s bone of eternity that the fat ball made. It extracted the power of eternity from the bone of eternity and poured it into this White-Killing Bone No. 2, allowing it to possess a portion of the real thing’s power. Note: This item needs to draw from the power of eternity of the bone of eternity continuously to be used. Otherwise, the power of eternity stored inside this bone will only last for a short period of time.]

In other words, this fake was no different from a rechargeable battery. When full of the power of eternity, it looked and felt the same as the real thing. But once the energy in the battery was used up, it would become a waste product.

“Damn, I’ve been tricked.” Song Shuhang quickly warned the Sage’s obsession.

This was not the bone of eternity but something developed by the fat ball to deal with Senior White Two!

Meanwhile, Song Shuhang had already guessed what made him lose contact with Senior White Two. The bone of eternity that Senior White Two took from the fat ball’s clone before must have also been an imitation.

In this White-Killing Bone No. 2, there should be a trap specially designed to deal with Senior White Two.

I can’t believe that the fat ball was able to lay such a complex trap. It really does not suit its previous style.

What a scheming ball!

After sensing Song Shuhang’s warning, the Scholarly Sage’s obsession flipped his palm over and countless Scholarly Runes emerged. He wanted to seal this imitation.

However, it was too late.

From the bone, a substance similar to mercury poured out, wrapping around the Sage’s arm.

This mercury-like substance was the seal that the fat ball had devised to deal with Senior White Two.

As the goal was to seal White Two, it had used parts of its body as a material to create this seal.

The strength of the seal was enough to restrain the main body of a ruler of the Netherworld, making it so that the Sage was unable to break free from it.

“[Proud smile] Killing two birds with one stone. I truly got the best of both worlds!” The fat ball’s clone laughed happily.

It had worked so hard in creating this trap for White, and it managed to fool the Scholarly Sage as well.

The fat ball had never been so happy in its life. This is an awesome feeling.

Today was definitely a day worth remembering. Henceforth, this day would be a holiday in the Netherworld Realm.

The only regret it had was that this place was the main world.

If the power of eternity in the White-Killing Bone No.2 was exhausted, the raw material of the seal, which was a part of its main body, would draw the Heavenly Punishment and be obliterated by it.

Therefore, it had to kill the Sage before the power of eternity ran out.

??????

The situation in the combat space was projected to the whole scholarly faction.

The Scholarly Sage, who had the upper hand, was suddenly sealed. Everyone in the scholarly faction clenched their fists.

With the completion of the mercurial seal, the Sage’s appearance began to change.

His face seemed to have been erased by an eraser. The Sage’s core, Song Shuhang, was revealed.

“P-Profound Sage Tyrannical Song?” Everyone in the scholarly faction had a look of bewilderment on their faces.
