Chapter 664 - The Evil God Breaks Free (1/2)

Six years... Zhong Yue had taken six years to learn about the Six Path Reincarnation and this was his sole focus during all that time.

But the Dao that merged the power of Six Path and Reincarnation was so complicated that it was beyond the Zhong Yue's comprehension. Thus, even after trying his best, he was still unable to completely understand it.

In the end of the calculations, the path of Dao was already on the emperor-level. After all, the calculations were built up by the Realm Lord singlehandedly using everything he knew; it was already very impressive that Zhong Yue could pull off what he did to such an extent.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue stopped his cultivation and the fire in his eyes wavered, "This was prepared for an emperor-level Qi Practitioner like the Realm Lord for him to get out. My strength is far weaker than his so with all I've learnt so far, it should be enough for me to get out already."

He then realized that the skeleton hare had also stopped his cultivation and was now standing not far away from him.

By now, the power of the skeleton hare experienced a massive growth; he is now on the level of True Spirit and is a few times stronger than those on the same level as him.

This was all because of the heritage of the Realm Lord that the skeleton hare received which gave him a head start over others

Zhong Yue suddenly thought of something and summoned the skeleton hare to his side and said, "I am leaving this world soon and I will not return anymore, yet I still don't know your name."

The hare hopped to his side and replied, "The living beings of the Bone Realms have only names without surnames. Those with a lower position than me will refer me as Master Hare and those higher than me would call me as Three Cleft because of my cleft lips."

Zhong Yue was left speechless and he said, "How can the future king of the Bone Realm have such a silly name? After my departure from this realm, you will become the king for sure and you can't possibly be called as King Hare, right? Hmmm, how about Jun? If you become king some day, you will be called King Jun."

The hare didn't know what to say at first, but it soon hopped around in joy and shouted, "Jun? King Jun? I like this name! Alright then, from now on, my name will be Jun! Oh, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Zhong." Zhong Yue replied with a smile.

"Then my surname will be Zhong as well!" shouted the hare happily.

After a moment of happiness, the hare looked at Zhong Yue with sadness and he asked, "Can I leave this realm with you?"

"Do you not want to be the king of this world?" asked the surprised Zhong Yue.

"Not really, it's kind of boring being a king, I'm more eager to see the world outside," said the hare, "I want to see what it is in the outside world that would make even the likes of you desperately try to return there."

Zhong Yue shook his head and he said, "But I can't take you with you since your body and soul is bound to this world. And with my capabilities, I can't bring you with me either. But someday in the future, if you manage learn as much as possible of the calculations here, you might gain a chance to leave this realm too."

The wildfire in the eyes of Jun sparkled and he said in disbelief, "You mean to say that I can get out from this world with my own strength if I study this?"

Zhong Yue turned around, walked out the palace and he said with a nod, "Perhaps one day, you and I will cross paths again."

"Definitely!" shouted the hare as he sent Zhong Yue off with his eyes.

With a happy laugh, Zhong Yue left the Pale Bone Palace and in an instant, he was already miles away.

Little did he know that in the future, the hare would truly escape from the Bone Realm and make a name for himself well known throughout the world under the name of Zhong Jun, creating a whole new race and becoming the king of the skeleton race before taking the title of King Jun.

Zhong Yue soon arrived at the Pale Bone Palace. He then summoned the skeletons forward and held a ceremony to declare that he would step down from the throne.

He sat on this throne and accepted the worship of the skeletons for one last time as the ghostly fire within the eyes of the skeletons swarmed towards him.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he didn't want to leave! After all these years, the skeletons that used to be scary in his eyes had somehow become very cute to him as he developed a sense of attachment to this little world.

Thank god that I am a skeleton or I would have shed tears in front of them.

Zhong Yue chased away his sadness and stood up from the throne, taking the cape off his back and placing the jade bone scepter back against the throne. The two items might be emperor-level divine weapons but he did not feel right claiming them as his own.

The two emperor-level divine weapons were the symbol of a skeleton king and if he stepped down, he was no longer their king so no matter how powerful and precious the emperor-level divine weapons were, it felt it was inappropriate to take them.

"It is time for me to leave! Farewell, my skeleton warriors!" Zhong Yue said as he waved his hand and left.

"Skeleton King Zhong!"

The countless skeletons shouted for Zhong Yue, their voice shook the heaven and earth; the skeleton gods chased after him but they hopelessly realized that the more they chased, the further away Zhong Yue got before he finally disappeared from their vision.

Zhong Yue came back to the place where the cracked dimension appeared and when he looked to the skies, the dimension was already gone and that bridge was no longer there.
