An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Looking at Lu Xueyao's serious expression, he chuckled inwardly: "Using that damn eerie fire to drive away the monsters? That's a complete waste."

In the eyes of the demonic cultivators, these high-level monsters roaming the wasteland are all walking treasures and cultivation experience packs.

If we drive them away, why bother cultivating demonic arts?

Lu Li's real plan was to instruct Lu Xueyao to set up a demonic killing array around this territory!

Whether it's the Blood Transformation Array targeting the physical body or the Soul Refining Array targeting the spirit, once the array is complete, any strange creature that dares to break in will have its soul captured and its spirit refined, all packaged and transformed into cultivation materials for the Blood Nerve Scripture and the Myriad Souls Emperor Scripture.

"To set up the Soul Refining Array, in addition to using the Myriad Soul Banner as the core array eye, you also need a Yin attribute material called Soul Nourishing Wood to refine the array flags."

Lu Li's divine sense swept across the wasteland.

Although Soul-Nourishing Wood is not uncommon in the Xuan Tian Realm, the laws of this Eternal Night Wasteland are ultimately different.

He searched around but couldn't find any trace of the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

However, his divine sense swept over a large area of ​​gray rocks emitting strange fluctuations in a canyon about twenty miles away from his territory.

This was exactly the "strange stone" that Lu Xueyao was looking for. Lu Li carefully sensed it and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "The natural Yin Sha patterns contained in this so-called strange stone are actually very similar to those of the Soul Nourishing Wood."

If used as material for inscribing formations, its effect is even better than that of Soul-Nourishing Wood!

"Xueyao, go to the canyon twenty miles to the due north."

Lu Li's voice rang in her mind, and Lu Xueyao set off immediately without the slightest hesitation.

When she quickly arrived at the canyon with her strong physique and golden skin, she was able to reach it.

What comes into view is a large expanse of gray rocks exposed on the ground.

However, this place is not safe. During the day in the Eternal Night Wasteland, although most high-level rule-based monsters are asleep, some monsters that have not yet mastered the rules of killing often live near some important resource points.

"Click click click—"

A series of ear-piercing sounds of bones grinding together rang out, and several pale white skeletal monsters rose from the shadows of the pile of strange stones.

Their eyes burned with eerie green flames, their gazes fixed intently on Lu Xueyao.

These are skeleton monsters. They don't have complicated killing patterns, but they possess superhuman strength and defense.

Faced with the oncoming skeleton monsters, Lu Xueyao remained calm.

With a thought, she immediately activated the Myriad Soul Banner in her dantian.

"out!"

Black energy surged, and a B-grade ghost eye phantom appeared in mid-air. Its scarlet light directly enveloped two of the skeleton ghosts, instantly dimming the ghost fire in their eye sockets and making their movements extremely sluggish.

At the same time, Lu Xueyao gripped the banner pole of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and swung it forward like a spear.

The Yin energy inherent in the Myriad Souls Banner erupted, directly knocking away the white bone monster at the forefront, with a crisp sound of bones breaking.

Just as Lu Xueyao was preparing to press her advantage and completely shatter it.

"etc."

Lu Li's voice abruptly interrupted her.

"Don't rush to kill them. These skeletons are still very useful."

Lu Xueyao was taken aback and quickly stopped what she was doing, wondering to herself, "Brother, this kind of low-level monster isn't even worth using to purify blood essence. What's the point of keeping it?"

"Who says only essence blood has value?" Lu Li's tone carried a hint of the arrogance of a demonic master: "Today I will impart to you another secret technique, the White Bone Demonic Scripture!"

boom!

Another massive influx of information flooded into Lu Xueyao's mind.

Lu Li patiently explained, "This secret technique is divided into two parts. The first is a method to temper your own bones. Once you master it, your physical body will be able to transform into the indestructible White Bone Demon Body."

"Secondly, it involves the methods of enslaving and cultivating bone puppets."

"Although these skeleton monsters are low-level, you can use your divine sense to brand them and subdue them as slaves."

As long as they continue to devour the corpses of other monsters, they can advance through the ranks.

From a novice Bone Demon and a Mighty Bone Demon, he gradually evolved into a Bone Demon General, a Bone Demon Emperor, and even a Bone God-Demon capable of tearing stars apart!

After hearing these words, Lu Xueyao was completely stunned.

Enslavement, and the training of demon emperors and gods...

Her eyes reddened again, and the tragic image of her brother being devoured by countless ghosts in hell flashed through her mind.

"What exactly did my brother go through in the underworld?! To protect me, he even learned such an evil and heinous bone magic."

He must have stumbled upon these methods of survival among demons only after enduring endless suffering…

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath, her eyes becoming incredibly resolute: "Brother, don't worry, I will never let you down!"

She immediately followed the enslavement techniques recorded in the White Bone God and Demon Codex, mobilizing her refined divine power.

"Condense the seal!"

A phantom divine imprint formed in mid-air, and then, like lightning, it struck directly into the skull of the suppressed white bone monster, forcibly replacing its original core consciousness.

The skeleton monster, which had been struggling wildly, suddenly stiffened.

Then, the violent, eerie green flames in its eyes became docile, and it slowly walked to Lu Xueyao, kneeling down on one knee like a loyal guardian.

"You've already subdued it?" A look of curiosity flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes. She looked at the tall, white skeleton and casually said, "From now on, I'll call you Xiaobai. Go, dig out the strange stone for me."

Upon receiving the instruction, Xiaobai immediately got up and walked to the front of the mine.

Its sharp, claw-like joints, like the sharpest pickaxe, can easily carve out a strange rock in no time, with frighteningly high work efficiency.

When it comes to doing hard labor, tireless skeletons are the perfect workforce.

The live stream chat in China, which witnessed the entire event, erupted in excitement once again.

"Wow! That's amazing! Everyone else fights tooth and nail when they encounter monsters, but Lu Xueyao just used a soul contract to make the monster her subordinate?"

"Good heavens, a fully automated mining rig, huh? This move would make capitalists weep and Jews speechless!"

"No way, just how many evil techniques did her brother teach her? Bloodsucking, soul extraction, and now even bone manipulation? This is practically a walking demonic sect!"

Meanwhile, another chosen one of the Dragon Kingdom, Liu Mengxi, was also out exploring.

She also went out to search for strange stones, but when she found a few scattered strange stones next to a small mound, she unfortunately encountered a wandering skeleton monster.

"The woman from Chu is beautiful! Block her way!"

Liu Mengxi screamed as she summoned her purple ghost pet. However, although Chu Renmei was of high quality, her essence was severely damaged due to her hard-fought battle against the B-grade knocking ghost last night, and she was extremely weak at the moment.
