Chapter 46: Chapter 45 : Stopping the Skeleton

Why did the Shi brothers so easily want to serve Lin Fan?

There were many reasons, the most important of which was that they could cultivate without resorting to cruel methods. Even if they awakened the Evil Martial Spirit, they still possessed the soul of righteousness.

With Lin Fan's abilities, they could cultivate more calmly, which could even be faster than before!

Another reason was that they wanted to have a bright future for all Spirit Masters who awakened Evil Martial Spirits!

So, Lin Fan's existence was very precious to them. And they also have their own awareness to protect him so that he can develop to a high level.

The stronger Lin Fan was, the greater their chances of getting a bright future!

...

"Don't call me young lady, I'm a boy. My name is Lin Fan, or you can call me Xiao Fan" said Lin Fan irritated.

As someone who reincarnated from the Modern world, Lin Fan had great respect for all elders. So he felt uncomfortable when an old man addressed him respectfully, let alone made them behave like slaves.

"No! Young La-... Uh, I mean, Young Master. The three of us will be your slaves, as long as you promise to give us the miracle fruit" Shi Yi said.

"Why? You know, I did have a certain purpose after giving the fruit to you. But I don't expect you to be my slaves, at least I just hope you become my bodyguard for a while" said Lin Fan.

Shi Er, who had been silent all this time immediately said, "You know what? It's better to be your slave than Bone Pile's slave."

"Bone Pile? Who is it?" Lin Fan asked.

"Bone Pile is someone who is very strong, who imparted some of his power to us. They say that he is the Successor of a God" said Shi Yi explaining it.

`Is he the Successor of Rakshasa God?` thought Lin Fan.

"Then, what are his abilities?" Lin Fan asked.

"We don't know all of his abilities, but what we do know is that he can turn corpses into his pawns" explained Shi Yi.

Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately turned to the Formation Array that the Shi brothers were guarding earlier. With the Library of Heavens Path, Lin Fan could obtain information that the Array was guarded by a being similar to Shi Yi's description, something resurrected from corpses, commonly called the Undead.

`Necromancy?` thought Lin Fan.

Lin Fan did not expect that the first series of Douluo Dalu already had the Necromancy technique, because as far as he knew this technique was only introduced in the second series of Douluo Dalu.

Necromancy is a technique used to create a creature that is neither dead nor alive, commonly called the Undead. Usually created from human corpses or Spirit Beast corpses. They don't have Life Essence, but their bodies are full of Death Essence. 

Fighting an Undead was extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than fighting a poison type.  Because their Death Essence was a deadly poison to all living things, which was extremely difficult to counter by any method. And only those with the Holy Attribute could fight it.

Luckily Lin Fan had Heaven's Path Spirit Essence, which had a slight resistance to Death Essence. So he was still able to counter it, even if it took a long time.

`Then, is the Rakshasa God Successor's Martial Spirit related to Death Essence?` thought Lin Fan.

`Looks like I have to be careful, but I have some work to do here` thought Lin Fan as he looked at the Formation Array.

The formation array used to collect the Blood Essence was the Blood Death Formation Array, which contained a mutated seed of the tree of life at its core. This mutation is because it has absorbed a large amount of Blood Essence, which will then create a new plant full of Evil Attributes. Moreover, the Formation Array is also guarded by Undead who have the strength of a Spirit Douluo!

According to the Library of Heavens Path, these Undead were created from the corpses of extremely powerful Spirit Beasts. That is a Diamond Baboon, with an age that has reached 10,000 years.

And after becoming Undead, this Diamond Baboon's strength was on par with that of a Spirit Douluo, which was almost on par with a 100,000 year old Spirit Beast!

`I need the Seed of the Tree of Life, and that Undead is also very useful. So I have to destroy the Formation Array first` thought Lin Fan.

`To destroy it is very easy, but to stop the Undead is impossible. That's why I helped the Shi brothers, so that they would help me stop the Undead` he explained again.

Any imminent death in the Array will produce Death Essence, which is then also absorbed by the Array and used to strengthen the Undead. So, if Lin Fan could destroy the Formation Array, then he could stop the Undead easily.

And the way to destroy the Formation Array is to devour all the Blood Essence that the Array has absorbed!

`This can be said to be good luck for me and Xiao Xiao` thought an excited Lin Fan.

...

Within a day, Lin Fan had created three Golden Lotus Fruits, so that all the Shi brothers could taste the fruit.  Unfortunately, the effects of the Golden Lotus Fruit were still limited, leaving their bodies full of impurities and toxins that had not been expelled. However, they were all happy, because they felt that their strength had improved greatly, which even strengthened their cultivation foundation!

"Uncles, if you guys want to serve me, is it okay if I want to destroy this Formation Array?" Lin Fan asked the Shi brothers.

Shi Yi, being the eldest, replied, "We have no problem, young master. However, can you destroy it? We have tried it before, but there are guards that are very difficult for us to defeat."

Lin Fan knew that, but of course he had his own ways. The guardian was an Undead made from the corpse of a Diamond Baboon, with a strength equal to that of a Spirit Douluo. And even though the Shi brothers used Spirit Fusion, they still couldn't beat it.

However, with the Library of Heavens Path, Lin Fan was able to find the weakness of this Array. In fact, this Array was full of flaws, which Lin Fan could take advantage of for his cultivation.

With confidence, Lin Fan said to the Shi brothers, "Don't worry, you guys know my cultivation technique right? With that, I can see the weakness of this Formation Array. It's just that I need your help to stop the guard, at least five seconds."

.... 

Right now, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiao were already at the weakest point in the Formation Array.  Meanwhile the Shi brothers were preparing to use Spirit Fusion, because only in that form could they stop the Undead.

"Xiao Xiao, are you ready?"  Lin Fan asked.

"Meow!"

Hearing Xiao Xiao's answer, Lin Fan immediately smiled, and he shouted "Now!"

WOOOSHHH

The Blood Essence that was collected in the Formation Array Core immediately came out, which then headed towards Lin Fan and Xiao Xiao.

Meanwhile, the Shi brothers immediately used Spirit Fusion, which later became the Blood Demon Emperor.

BRMMMMM GUUOOOHHH

Then, suddenly, from the underground near the Formation Array Core, a skeleton stood up and gathered into a creature known as the Undead.

This undead is shaped like a Diamond Baboon, but only the bones are visible. With every bone it looked like a dark diamond, plus the eyes on its skull it lit up with purple flames.

This undead stared straight at Lin Fan, and wanted to approach him with a terrifying aura. Even Lin Fan could feel the overwhelming pressure from these Undead! 

`I hope the Shi brothers can handle it` thought Lin Fan.

When the Shi brothers, or the Blood Demon Emperor saw this Undead, immediately used the Petrifying Gaze!

WOOSHHH

GUOOOOOHHHH

The undead, who originally looked at Lin Fan and wanted to attack him, instantly fell silent and couldn't move.

Seeing this Undead unable to move, Lin Fan immediately activated Wood Release to change the energy path in the Formation Array that was under the Undead! 

"Wood Release!"

BRRRMMM BRMMM BRMMMM

The energy path in the Formation Array instantly changed, and then rendered the Undead immobile forever!

Then, the Death Essence in the Undead's body immediately dispersed, which made it slowly weaken!

Succeed!

After overcoming the Undead, Lin Fan immediately smiled and said, "Now, all we have to do is drain this Blood Essence."
