Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 355 Inheriting the Legacy of Civilization, Evolving the [Corpse Overlord]!

Chapter 355 Inheriting the Legacy of Civilization, Evolving the [Corpse Overlord]!

The two are remarkably similar.

As a natural skill of the zombie race, [Corrosive Poison Avatar] is indeed a skill strongly associated with the Corrosive Poison attribute, just as Ark observed when hunting zombies before.

But at this point, evolution had only just begun!

After successfully analyzing the Zombie race's [Corruption Avatar] skill, the Ark's skeleton clones began an unprecedented transformation.

A large amount of putrid energy gradually evolved from his entire body, flesh and bones.

The generation of this energy is as natural as human breathing, requiring no extra effort or energy to control.

Every movement, even every bone and muscle, contains a massive amount of putrefactive and toxic properties.

With the boost from this newly acquired talent skill, the size of the skeleton clone also changed significantly.

Originally a height of just over three meters, its body swelled to nearly 3.2 meters under the influence of the putrid energy.

The muscles and bones that originally appeared excessively exaggerated became more symmetrical and harmonious under the influence of the putrid energy, as if every part was a combination of power and beauty.

The skeletal armor that originally covered the entire body has now been completely transformed into poisonous skeletal armor.

The armor's surface had a ghostly green hue, as if it were stained with layers of corrosive energy, making it appear exceptionally heavy and menacing.

The edges of the armor were inlaid with serrated patterns, resembling naturally grown bone spurs, extremely sharp.

The skeleton clone's face became even more ferocious, with eerie blue flames burning deep in its eye sockets, like will-o'-the-wisps from the abyss, exuding a chilling aura of death.

Beneath the armor, the skeleton clone's hands became even larger.

Claw-like structures grew between his fingers, their tips gleaming with a cold light, like the sharp claws of a ferocious beast, ready to tear apart any enemy that dared to approach.

Green toxic fumes seeped from its entire body surface from time to time, dripping onto the ground with a hissing sound, as if each drop were a deadly poison.

At the same time, a surge of scalding heat flowed out from the void and poured into the Ark's body.

With the infusion of this power, the ark's skeletal form began to undergo drastic changes.

His bones became thicker and darker, as if they were made of iron and stone after countless battles.

His ribs continued to extend, narrowing the gaps between the bones, as if they were about to connect and form a solid bone plate armor, giving him stronger defense.

This process lasted for a full ten minutes, until finally, the Ark completed this evolution.

Besides the changes in his size and appearance, he also sensed a faint aura of power and death emanating from him, which gave him the initial imposing presence of a high-level undead.

At this moment, Ark seemed like a true undead king, every move he made exuding an undeniable awe-inspiring power.

As the evolution was completed, a series of notifications appeared on the attribute panel.

"The clone has been detected to possess the Skeleton race's innate skill [Skeleton Armament] and the Zombie race's innate skill [Corrosive Poison Incarnation]. The clone's race has changed. Please name the new race."

Fang Zhou felt the powerful energy surging within him and clearly sensed that his strength had significantly improved compared to before.

This is not only reflected in the physical enhancement of his strength, but also in his control over the corrupting energy and the resulting tactical diversity.

A new race?

This notification filled Fangzhou with an indescribable joy and pride.

After successfully deciphering the [Corruption Incarnation] skill, he was clearly no longer the weakest skeleton among the undead creatures.

For months, he had been hunting zombies tirelessly, experiencing countless life-or-death battles, and finally earned this huge boost.

The clone has now become a fusion of the skeleton and zombie races, perfectly absorbing the advantages and strengths of both undead creatures.

Fangzhou looked around at the loyal, neatly arranged skeleton minions and made up his mind.

Since it is no longer simply a skeleton clone, this name is clearly no longer appropriate.

"Name the new race the [Corpse Warlords]."

"Corpse" represents the racial characteristics of the clone, while "Overseer" symbolizes his outstanding command ability.

Ark hopes that his clone can continue to grow and one day become a true undead king.

After envisioning a glorious future, Fangzhou shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality.

Currently, the enemies faced by the [Corpse Warlord] are mainly low-level undead creatures such as skeleton warriors and zombies.

These organisms have a strong resistance to putrefactive poisons.

Therefore, the newly awakened [Corruption Incarnation] skill in Ark may not be as effective as expected when dealing with them.

However, this skill can inflict extremely terrifying damage on living enemies such as humans or demons.

In particular, many types of abyssal demons rely on the corrosive poison attribute to wreak havoc.

After acquiring the "Corpse Incarnation" skill, the Ark's "Corpse Warlord" has experienced a significant leap in resistance to Corruption energy.

It can be said that he has now become the natural enemy and nemesis of demons with corrupting and poisonous attributes.

Thinking of this, Fangzhou felt even more excited.

In addition, after successfully analyzing the [Corruption Avatar] skill, the Skeleton Clone's initial proficiency level is already at maximum, as this is a talent skill of the zombie race.

This means that for the Ark itself, this is an excellent skill material, which can be used as a basis to further develop the Necromancer's Corruption skill tree.

In that instant, countless ideas surged into Fangzhou's mind.

Based on his previous experience in deducing the skeletal skill tree, he was confident that he could perfect the prototype of the putrefactive poison skill tree in a short time.

After all, the pioneers of necromancers had previously tried to deduce some corruption-based skills, such as Corrosive Touch, but they were not satisfactory in terms of skill power, mental energy consumption, and battlefield practicality.

With the [Corruption Avatar] skill, Fangzhou believed that it wouldn't be long before he could turn all the inspirations in his mind about the Corruption skill tree into reality.

"call----"

Fangzhou let out a long breath and then looked around the entire dark altar.

With the death of the mutated zombie, there was no longer a single zombie on the entire altar.

However, the black crystal ball that had once hovered above the ferocious zombie still floated above the ashes, tirelessly spinning and continuing to absorb the death aura of the Dark Altar and even the entire Valley of the Dead.

Fangzhou stepped forward and reached out to "pluck" the crystal ball.

When the crystal ball fell into his hand, a cold yet powerful sensation instantly spread throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, a series of messages refreshed his attribute panel again: "Soul Power +100."

"Soul Power +100."

"Soul Power +100."

Strength attribute +5.

"Constitution attribute +5."

"Agility attribute +5."

"Mental attribute +5."

"6

'

""

A powerful flow of information surged in like a tide, the dense information like countless stars, weaving a vast network in his consciousness.

After some analysis, he discovered that the gains this time were extremely substantial.

Not only did he accumulate over a thousand points of soul power, but more importantly, all four attributes increased by 5 points each!

Especially the mental attribute, which is an extremely rare boost for any undead creature.

The aura of death within the crystal ball, like rain after a long drought, quickly seeped into Ark's body.

For undead creatures, the aura of death is the source of their life, just as the aura of life is important to the living.

And what this crystal ball stores is the purest aura of death.

This also explains why Ark was able to make such tremendous progress in such a short period of time.

Fangzhou speculated that these pure death auras were originally intended to help that exceptionally powerful zombie complete its final evolution.

However, fate played a cruel trick, and these precious resources ultimately made the Ark itself what it is today.

With the aura of death within the crystal ball completely absorbed, the Ark finally had the opportunity to carefully observe this once powerful crystal ball.

It is a deep black color with extremely high transparency, and is about the size of an adult's fist.

The surface of the crystal ball is as smooth as a mirror, perfectly formed by nature, clearly having undergone meticulous polishing, making it seem like an art treasure rather than an ordinary object.

However, as the last wisp of gray mist inside the crystal ball dissipated, accompanied by a crisp "crack," the once flawless crystal ball suddenly shattered in Ark's bone palm.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious mark flew out from the shattered crystal ball, like an invisible hand, and pushed the mark directly into the soul fire of the Ark.

Almost at the same moment, a new notification popped up on Ark's attribute panel.

"Analyzable inherited information detected. Analyzing this information will cost 100 points of soul power."

"Start consuming?"

Ark's soul fire suddenly jumped, staring at the scattered fragments of the black crystal ball in his palm, a hint of astonishment rising in his heart.

Originally, he thought it would be a rare treasure and was planning to study the origin and purpose of the crystal ball carefully.

Unexpectedly, after losing the ferocious zombie and the four mutated zombies as its carriers, the crystal ball shattered and turned into fragments.

This sudden change caught Fangzhou somewhat off guard.

Standing before that ancient and mysterious altar, he was filled with countless questions.

What kind of being, and for what purpose, laid out such a massive and complex ritual in this desolate, death-filled hill of corpses?

Just to breed a ferocious zombie?

How much effort and time would such a project require? And what were the considerations behind it?

Filled with doubts, Fangzhou decided to try to decipher the mysterious message projected from the crystal ball.

Without hesitation, he selected "Yes," and immediately, one hundred points of soul power slowly flowed out from his soul fire, as if opening the floodgates of knowledge.

As his soul power was depleted, Ark felt a familiar inspiration erupt in his mind.

His soul fire throbbed violently, and an indescribable joy welled up in his heart.

It turns out that this black crystal ball and the entire mysterious altar beneath it were creations of the Naraku civilization.

During his previous education, Fang Zhou learned from Instructor Su Xinyan that the Naraku civilization was, in all of human history, the alien civilization that had mastered and thoroughly controlled the power of death.

Their understanding and application of death energy reached an unparalleled level, so much so that even after the fall of their civilization, their relics were still regarded as priceless treasures.

The "Celestial Bottle" held by Fang Zhou, as well as the powerful blueprint spells that Su Xinyan, Sandru, and other Gold-rank necromancers possessed but could not be cast for some reason, are all precious legacies passed down from the Naraku civilization.

Although the Naraku civilization ultimately failed to withstand the invasion of the abyss demons and met its demise, the relics they left behind still attract countless explorers and scholars to explore them.

No one has ever denied the power of the Naraku civilization, especially in the use of death energy and the development of the necromancer profession.

Fangzhou obtained some clues about the remains of the Naraku civilization in the Beast Mountain Range from senior students such as Gu Yueyuan and Yue Pengfei.

He originally planned to explore these ruins after his main body broke through to the Black Iron level.

However, fate played a cruel trick on him. Before he could reach his goal, his clone accidentally discovered the ruins left by the pioneers of the Naraku civilization during this unexpected adventure.

Facing the ancient and mysterious magic array altar before him, Fang Zhou was filled with surprise and delight.

Because this magic circle altar has existed for so long, the information stored in the crystal ball is incomplete, but it is enough for him to deduce the basic purpose of this magic circle altar.

It was an experimental site used by the Naraku civilization to cultivate mutated undead creatures.

The now-broken black crystal ball was the core of the entire experimental facility.

According to the cultivation model of the Naraku civilization, whenever a mutated undead creature is successfully cultivated, a specialized necromancer will periodically enslave these powerful and rare mutated creatures into his summons, based on a pre-set spatial anchor point.

However, the original owner of this magic circle altar may have perished in the war between the Naraku civilization and the abyss demons.

As time goes by, the effectiveness of the magic circle altar gradually diminishes.

Generation after generation of mutated zombies have emerged here, but they have never seen their master return.

Many years passed, and when the Ark stepped into this canyon and discovered the altar hidden in the valley, the Naraku Altar was nearing the end of its life.

After enduring the test of time, this altar ultimately became completely useless in the great battle between the Ark and several mutated zombies.

With the shattering of the crystal ball, all information came to an abrupt end, leaving only broken remnants.

Despite the limited information, Ark was already quite satisfied.
