Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Venerable Bone Ring, Command All Under Heaven, None Dare Disobey

Li Wei looked at the Golden Bone Ring in his palm, utterly astonished.

He had a feeling he could bring it out of the dream.

But seeing the Golden Bone Ring truly brought out of the dream still left Li Wei stunned.

This was the first item he had obtained that could be brought out of the dream.

"What exactly does the Golden Bone Ring do?"

Li Wei looked puzzled.

After a moment of thought, he decided to try it out.

He slipped the Golden Bone Ring onto the middle finger of his left hand.

Soon, Li Wei felt a subtle difference.

He channeled his Mana and Spiritual Power into the Golden Bone Ring.

Instantly, Li Wei felt his Spiritual Power expand for thousands of meters.

He could sense the auras and locations of the Undead around him.

The nearest aura... Li Wei whipped his head around to look at the window.

He walked to the window and gazed at the Little Bone Dragon lying beneath the Dragon Blood Tree.

After putting on the Golden Bone Ring, he could see a faint undead aura on the Little Bone Dragon.

’This Bone Dragon is coming back to life!’

The undead aura was still very faint.

It was even weaker than the undead aura of the weakest Skeleton Monster.

Li Wei withdrew his gaze. He roughly understood the Golden Bone Ring’s function now.

The Golden Bone Ring could sense and control the Undead.

Through the Golden Bone Ring, Li Wei sensed the auras of quite a few Undead within the Floating City.

Most were concentrated beneath the Elemental Tower, with a few other undead auras scattered throughout the rest of the city.

It was possible they were like the Little Bone Dragon, picked up from an Ancient Battlefield and kept as collectibles.

Or they could be Undead Creatures hiding within the Floating City.

Li Wei had no desire to investigate the truth.

He was incredibly puzzled. ’Why did they give me the Golden Bone Ring?’

In the current situation, the Golden Bone Ring’s abilities were no less than those of a Divine Artifact.

Li Wei couldn’t figure out the other party’s intentions.

’Whatever, I’ll put it away for now.’

When Li Wei tried to take off the Golden Bone Ring, he suddenly discovered it wouldn’t come off.

He tugged at it a few times to no avail, his expression changing.

His left hand elementalized.

He tried to forcibly remove the Golden Bone Ring.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Bone Ring melted and seeped into his flesh, fusing directly with a phalanx of his middle finger.

Through his Spiritual Power, Li Wei could sense that section of bone had turned gold, its surface now bearing the pattern of a skull.

’This is trouble!’

’What the hell is this Golden Bone Ring?’

Li Wei felt a massive headache coming on.

After pacing in his room for a long time, Li Wei left the manor and headed for the Saint Villia Library.

At night, the Saint Villia Library was still brightly lit.

Li Wei frantically flipped through books about the Undead, searching for clues about the Golden Bone Ring.

He didn’t find anything about the Golden Bone Ring.

But he did find a rumor concerning the Undead.

According to legend, the Lord of the Underworld once forged a Venerable Bone Ring from the seventh rib of his own past life’s body.

Holding the Venerable Bone Ring was equivalent to the Lord of the Underworld’s personal presence, allowing one to control all Undead Creatures in the world.

Someone had once obtained the Venerable Bone Ring and unleashed an Undead Calamity.

They intended to establish a kingdom of the Undead in the Human World and become the master of the mortal plane.

The Undead Calamity was stopped.

The person who held the Venerable Bone Ring vanished.

Some said he angered the Lord of the Underworld and was executed, the Venerable Bone Ring taken back.

Others said he was corrupted by the Venerable Bone Ring’s power, lost his sanity, and became a pure Undead Creature.

In any case, the Venerable Bone Ring had vanished.

Li Wei didn’t think his Golden Bone Ring was the Venerable Bone Ring.

The Venerable Bone Ring was, without a doubt, a Divine Artifact.

The Golden Bone Ring seemed more like a knock-off of the Venerable Bone Ring.

Their functions were similar, but their range and effects were worlds apart.

The Venerable Bone Ring could rule over all the Undead in the world.

With the Golden Bone Ring, Li Wei could only sense Undead within ten thousand meters and control them within one thousand meters.

’A super-nerfed version.’

Even so, the Golden Bone Ring was still very powerful.

Especially now, with the Elemental Tower about to be besieged by the Undead.

Li Wei continued to search through the texts.

It wasn’t until noon the next day that he found a useful piece of information.

A Witch Lich had once tried to replicate the Venerable Bone Ring, but the effect was very weak.

According to that Witch Lich’s research, the higher the level of the materials used to make a Bone Ring, the more powerful the effect.

To achieve the effect of the Venerable Bone Ring, one must use a Divine Bone.

The Witch Lich came to this conclusion.

Not long after, the Witch Lich died unexpectedly.

For a nearly immortal Witch Lich to die unexpectedly... anyone could guess it had to be related to a Divine Spirit.

Even Divine Spirits are afraid of being coveted.

Afterward, the method for replicating the Venerable Bone Ring was lost.

Li Wei could now be certain that the person who gave him the Golden Bone Ring was the Legendary Witch Lich.

The Legendary Witch Lich, the Dream Weaver.

’Why did he go to so much trouble to give me the Golden Bone Ring?’

Li Wei grew even more confused.

He left the Saint Villia Library and started walking back to the manor.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

His stomach was protesting.

Li Wei glanced at the sky. It was already noon.

He had even forgotten to eat breakfast.

Li Wei quickened his pace, ready to go back and eat the delicious food Diana had prepared.

THUMP!

Li Wei bumped into someone, and they fell to the ground.

Li Wei only swayed for a moment before steadying himself.

His physique was equivalent to a Tier Two Extraordinary Warrior’s.

For a normal person, bumping into him was no different from hitting a brick wall.

"Are you all right?"

Li Wei reached out to help up the little girl he had knocked over.

"N-No, I’m fine."

The moment his fingers touched her, Li Wei sensed the dense undead aura within her body.

Li Wei’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning suspicious.

’An Undead?’

The little girl grabbed Li Wei’s hand, her face lighting up with excitement.

She scrambled to her feet and said in a low voice, "My lord, you’ve finally returned!"

A flicker of confusion passed through Li Wei’s eyes.

He glanced around, then tossed out, "Follow me."

The little girl hurriedly followed after Li Wei.

Li Wei led her into a nearby tavern and got a private room.

After ordering a few random dishes to dismiss the waiter, Li Wei closed the door, looked at the little girl, and asked, "Who are you?"

The little girl quickly replied, "I am Savinia. When Master created me, he named me the Bone Flute Dancer."

"My lord, didn’t Master tell you about me?" Savinia asked, confused.

Li Wei blinked and said, "No. It was a hasty departure. The boss didn’t say anything."

"The boss?"

Li Wei said casually, "Our boss, your master. As a Witch Lich on the Ancient Battlefield, he didn’t have many people to help him, so he recruited some underlings. I was the first to follow him."

"The boss trusts me a lot. He even gave me the Golden Bone Ring."

"He said that as long as I showed up, I’d know what needed to be done."

Li Wei saw Savinia’s expression fill with admiration.

He quickly asked, "So, what does the boss want us to do?"

Savinia’s expression turned venomous. "To get revenge on the Elemental Tower, of course! If the Mages of the Elemental Tower hadn’t backstabbed Master, he wouldn’t have been reduced to his current state."

Li Wei’s expression didn’t change as he asked, "What’s your plan?"

A wicked smile spread across Savinia’s face. "I’m going to turn everyone in the Floating City into Undead."

Li Wei’s heart leaped in alarm.
