Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 384 Strengthening the Physical Armor of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism

A golden halo rippled in mid-air; touching it should allow one to directly enter the so-called "dungeon".

"First—Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!"

Tang Zheng's gaze turned serious as he took the lead in activating the [Ninja] class skill.

The shadow wriggled.

A figure exactly like Tang Zheng emerged from the shadows and stood to the side.

In the first experiment, Tang Zheng did not integrate the "frogman egg" into the shadow clone, but instead released the skill normally.

Swish!
The shadow clone paused briefly in place, then rushed out at high speed and touched the golden halo floating in mid-air.

Golden light shimmered.

The shadow clone vanished instantly!
Tang Zheng's expression changed as well, and he realized that he had completely lost the connection with the shadow clone.

"Is it completely isolated?"

Tang Zheng's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty: "So, is the dungeon considered an independent alternate dimension, or is it an effect inherent in the world-class item itself?"

He couldn't be sure.

However, "Shadow Clone" will only exist for 10 minutes normally, with a cooldown of one hour. After that, you just need to wait.

in a blink.

An hour passed.

The golden halo in the air had dimmed, as if it would disappear at any moment. Tang Zheng raised his hand and unleashed a "Buddha Light Wave".

The golden halo lit up again!
Seeing this, Tang Zheng seemed to be deep in thought, and then activated his skill again.

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!"

Tang Zheng reached out and flipped his hand, taking out the "frogman egg" soaked in the "fusion potion" and merging it into his shadow clone.

Swish!
The shadow clone disappeared into the golden halo.

The situation remains one of complete isolation.

Tang Zheng stood quietly and waited. Another hour passed quickly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and activated the skill again: "Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique".

The black shadows reflected on the ground wriggled!
Tang Zheng's figure reappeared before them.

"Were they wiped out?"

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed when he saw the result.

The shadow clones integrated with the "frogman eggs" can exist for a longer period of time, and the "Shadow Clone Technique" has been successfully activated again.

This only means that the shadow clones that entered the instance have been eliminated!
Keep in mind that the shadow clone completely inherited his magic power and agility, yet it couldn't even last for an hour!

In this way, Tang Zheng gained a relatively clear understanding of the dangers of the dungeon.

Wave your arms.

The shadow clone beside him vanished.

The current experimental results represent the limit, and there is no need for further experiments.

"It's about time to make preparations."

Tang Zheng thought to himself, then shouted in a low voice, "Physical Armor!"

Wow!
Pale red energy emanated from every pore of his body, instantly condensing into a fiery red armor that enveloped Tang Zheng's entire body.

【HP:1012/1125·MP:725/918】

Activating physical armor requires 10% of your HP to consume.

Tang Zheng lightly stepped on the ground, his figure suddenly leaping up, raising his palm and waving it downwards.

Boom!

The enormous red shadow crashed onto the hillside with a muffled thud; it was the long-dead carcass of the sun anglerfish.

Its massive body, over 50 meters long, glowed with a faint reddish light under the sun, and the air temperature seemed to rise a few degrees at that moment.

"Bang" sound.

Tang Zheng landed again in mid-air, stepping on the hard red scales. At the same time, he reached out and placed his hands on the scales, whispering, "Blessing of Abundance!"

hum-

The crimson flesh-like armor began to faintly reveal runes on its surface.

In an instant!

Centered on Tang Zheng's palms, the entire sun anglerfish carcass began to tremble, its fiery red color covering its entire body, its hard scales, and even the bones within the carcass.

They all began to gradually transform into flowing red matter, frantically surging into the "physical armor"!
The surface of the crimson armor became increasingly solid and firm, the patterns on the scales became clearer and stronger, and the entire body even gained an indescribable metallic texture.

…………

For a moment.

"Rune: Physical Armament" has stopped absorbing energy.

The scales on the surface of the sun anglerfish have all disappeared, and only a large part of the bones in the corpse remain and have not been completely absorbed.

"It has already reached its limit."

"After breaking through level 61, although I downgraded the [Sword Saint] rank, my physical armor level reached the 'legacy' level."

Tang Zheng was also surprised that the sun anglerfish's corpse hadn't been absorbed all at once. Looking at the changes in the numerical values, he understood somewhat:
"The limit for both physical and magical defense is 780, which is the value after multiplying the normal level by 13."

"Although I am currently level 60, the stat bonuses from various high-level professions, even with only half the physical armor stat, are approaching the 780 cap."

"Therefore, the overall increase in absorption value is not high."

Tang Zheng stood up again and put the sun anglerfish, which now only had its reddish skin remaining and had all its scales removed, back into the prop box.

"The only thing we can prepare for next is the scrolls."

Tang Zheng did his best to prepare for the battles in the dungeon.

pity.

He has limited resources, and there's not much that can help him.

"Scrolls are used more for auxiliary purposes, so the first thing to prepare is a healing scroll."

After confirming this, Tang Zheng did not hesitate at all and softly chanted to activate the magic:
"Sixth-tier magic: Papermaking!"

It flickered with the light of magic.

Seventy-five sheets of sixth-order paper appeared before him; he was going to create a "Great Healing" magic scroll that could restore 100 HP.

Using the sixth-tier papermaking technique four times can produce 300 sheets of sixth-tier paper. Each scroll consumes 20 sheets, meaning you can make 15 sixth-tier scrolls.

This process also involves activating the second-tier skills "Magic Accumulation" and "Scroll Creation" to complement the process.

The "Scroll Crafting" skill at levels 4-6 requires an additional 10 points of magic power.

To craft 15 Tier 6 scrolls, a total of 225 points are required!
—The pleasures of the lower realms.

6 month 22 day.

【经验槽:5300w→4850w/188w】    【HP:1125/1125·MP:918/918】

100 copies of the "Sixth Rank - Great Healing" scroll.

20 copies of the "Ten-Stage Heating" scroll.

"Tenth Order - Final War (Good)" 3 copies.

It took Tang Zheng nearly two days to make complete preparations. In addition to the healing magic scrolls, he also used 23 of his stored tenth-tier scrolls.

Of the tenth-tier magic he currently possesses, only two are considered offensive spells: "Heat" and "Final War (Good)".

only.

"Final War (Good)" can only be used three times a day, and each activation requires 150 million experience points.

Tang Zheng could only store three extra copies. Of course, he didn't use the "Crazy Meditation" skill today, which means he could use it three more times.

Wow!
The crimson flesh-colored armor rubbed slightly together.

Tang Zheng stood up, twisted his neck, took a deep breath, and gazed intently at the golden halo in front of him.

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

Continuing to make arrangements is pointless; the only pity is that he didn't master many enhancement spells.

"Hopefully my luck won't be too bad."

Tang Zheng suddenly chuckled and stomped his foot on the ground.

boom!
The red figure suddenly leaped out and made contact with the golden halo.

A "swish" sound.

Tang Zheng's figure vanished in an instant.

…………

A blinding golden light filled the field of vision ahead.

Tang Zheng felt as if his whole body was floating, with no point of support, and he could only faintly hear a sacred chant that sounded like Buddhist chants.

All forms and appearances are illusions.
—If you see all forms as non-forms, then you will see the Tathagata!

As the word "come" entered my ears.

The golden light in their field of vision vanished in an instant, revealing a vast hall with a pure white stone floor, and a wall made of stone in front of them.

Images and sculptures adorning a white jade lotus pedestal and a gilded stupa.

"Is this the instance?"

The moment Tang regained his vision, he immediately became alert and observed his surroundings.

He was currently in the very center, with a lotus-shaped pattern beneath his feet, and a soft, golden light emanating from above, preventing the environment from becoming gloomy.

The white floor and the golden light above complement each other, giving the entire environment a sacred, Buddhist, and majestic feel.

This gave Tang Zheng, who was in the center of the hall, a strange sense of insignificance.

open!

This was Tang Zheng's first impression. Looking up ahead, he saw a stone wall radiating a golden, Buddha-like light.

The most striking feature is not the stone wall!

Instead, they are two colorful stone statues located on either side of the stone wall, each about 5 meters high, with a robust and imposing presence.

There was clearly no sign of life.

The moment Tang saw the two colorful stone statues, he felt an indescribable sense of awe.

When you can see the faces of these two stone statues clearly.

Tang Zheng's pupils dilated slightly, a strange sense of familiarity washing over him.

The colorful stone statue on the left is entirely blue, with even its face showing a fierce blue expression. It wears Chinese-style armor and holds a sword in its hand.

The colorful stone statue on the right is entirely red, with a majestic red expression on its face. It is dressed in armor of the same style, and a snake is wrapped around its shoulder.

"Are you sure?"

Tang Zheng looked at the two huge stone statues in front of him and exclaimed in astonishment, "Aren't these the Heavenly King of Growth and the Heavenly King of Wide Vision, two of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

The style is too Chinese.

This gave Tang Zheng, who had been in another world for a year, a sense of familiarity.

"The snake in the hand of the Heavenly King of Wide Vision is not a purple-gold fox, so it must be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism."

Tang Zheng observed the stone statue of Guangmu Tianwang and confirmed his guess.

The "Four Heavenly Kings" also have different styles.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism are very similar to the Four Heavenly Kings of Heaven, and Tang Zheng could not distinguish them accurately, but he could differentiate them by the pets he was holding.

"Besides these two conspicuous stone statues, are there no other monsters that you should be fighting in a normal dungeon?"

After confirming that the two stone statues were not moving, Tang looked around but saw nothing.

and many more?

Tang Zheng's gaze sharpened as he spotted a white, reflective object on the ground in the distance. He moved his feet and headed towards that object.

His steps were steady and slow.

As Tang moved, he continued to observe his surroundings. When he reached the location of the reflective object, the entire hall remained empty and eerily quiet.

And the white, reflective objects were now fully visible.

They were white skeletons!
There are at least 30 intact skeletons, most of which are very broken, and the ground is covered with a layer of white bone fragments.

There was not a trace of flesh or blood, not even a remnant of clothing or weapons, and the shape of the skeleton belonged to the human species.

Looking at these skeletons and broken bones with signs of gnawing.

Tang Zheng paused briefly, then looked around the empty hall again: "There's no exit, no food. These people must have starved to death."

—The air returned to calm.

"The 'Two Realms Mandala' is a term used in Esoteric Buddhism, referring to a diagram of deities arranged around 'Mahavairocana Buddha,' and is divided into the Vajradhatu Mandala and the Garbhadhatu Mandala."

Tang Zheng looked again at two of the prominent and tall stone statues of the Four Heavenly Kings:
"There are only two statues of the Four Heavenly Kings here. If this is not the only space, then there are two more statues in another space."

"Then things are not complicated. The players need to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings statues, so... if they don't defeat them, they will probably be stuck here forever."

"Heh, it really does have the style of a world-class item. It's a bit like the [Map of Mountains and Rivers]."

Tang Zheng let out a faint, cold laugh, his gaze growing increasingly solemn as he looked at the two stone statues in the distance.

"The trigger is probably an attack."

Tang Zheng moved his feet, backing away towards the back edge of the hall, while raising his palm towards the motionless stone statue in front of him, and chanted:
"Seventh-tier magic - Chain Thunder Dragon!"

Boom!

A striking blue, dragon-shaped bolt of lightning rapidly coalesced on Tang Zheng's arms on both sides, then shot into the air.

The blue lightning instantly shattered the air in front of him, striking the top of Virudhaka's head. At the same time, a wide-range attack landed on Virupaksha, who was standing to the other side.

Bang!
Thunderclaps exploded on the two Heavenly King statues, producing a muffled sound.

Click, click... click!
Suddenly, dense cracks appeared on the two colored stone statues, and then they fell off rapidly like fragments. The stone statues, which were originally lifeless, came to life completely at this moment!

boom! boom!
The ground shook simultaneously.

Two colorful stone statues stood upright fiercely, their powerful auras surging towards you.

In Tang Zheng's vision, semi-illusory information and a long health bar appeared above the heads of the two Heavenly Kings.

Growth Day (85Lv) -90% Physical Damage
Guangmu Tian (85Lv) -90% Physical Damage
Two pairs of cold eyes turned to look at them simultaneously.

Tang Zheng looked at the information above the two Heavenly Kings' heads, his throat bobbing slightly: "Damn!"
