The Fourth Lord of the Undead was the most talented, gifted, and imaginative Lord of the Undead in the history of the Land of the Undead.
He boldly reached his hand into the Dao of Creation.
During that period, many strange new species appeared in the Land of the Undead, such as thousand-armed skeletons, multi-headed bone dragons, ten-winged bone dragons, and even shocking entities like centaur-bone dragons.
In short, under the tireless efforts of the Fourth Lord of the Undead, the diversity of species in the Land of the Undead was significantly enhanced.
However, after a while, his creative desire grew even stronger, and simple puzzles of species within the Land of the Undead could no longer interest him.
Thus, he began to set his sights on creatures from other worlds.
Humans, dwarves, elves, dragons, treants, spirits, giant beasts, angels, and demons—as long as a creature had some reputation in the myriad worlds, they ended up on his operating table to explore the Dao of Creation with him.
A grand cross-species hybridization began.
At first, the Fourth Lord of the Undead followed his previous experience, simply piecing together parts from different species to create many monsters.
But the systems of living creatures were vastly different from those of undead creatures; the undead did not have the troublesome rejection reactions that living things did.
When he attached a pair of angel wings and a pair of gold dragon wings onto an elf, the aura of light and the scorching dragon blood of the gold dragon instantly cooked the poor elf. Even though he used the power of his authority to forcibly sustain the elf's life, it only allowed the elf to live a few more years in agony.
One must realize that in the Land of the Undead, even the most ordinary skeleton soldier could attach the broken bones of a bone dragon to itself. This act would not cause the skeleton to die; instead, it would enhance its strength.
The Fourth Lord of the Undead's common sense was overturned, and a frantic Great Experiment Plan officially commenced.
As for how long this plan lasted, there was no detailed record in the inherited knowledge of the Lord of the Undead. However, the final results of the plan were recorded in great detail.
The Fourth Lord of the Undead expended a massive amount of energy and even risked offending several Dao Lord experts of the same level to collect materials that satisfied him.
The Supreme Bone, Kirin Arm, Vajra Legs, Glazed Body, and Exquisite Heart.
Indeed, these were the very parts on Bone Guard Ten's body.
Once the materials were ready, the Fourth Lord of the Undead spent exactly eighty-one years, utilizing everything he had learned in his life, to create this supposedly perfect creation.
It was said that on the day the perfect creation was born, celestial phenomena filled the sky, with kirins, beasts, Buddhas, Arhats, dragons, and phoenixes dancing—a truly spectacular sight.
The Fourth Lord of the Undead was incredibly excited, eager to test the strength of this perfect creation.
Then, the test results dealt him a heavy blow.
The physical body of the perfect creation was indeed perfect, but a perfect body required a matching perfect soul.
Yet, the soul of this perfect creation was merely a ten-thousand-year-old ghost the Lord of the Undead had casually snatched.
The soul was unworthy of this perfect body and was torn to shreds by the physical form. Thus, the perfect creation became a vegetative creation.
As for what happened later, before the Fourth Lord of the Undead could solve this problem, he died under the siege of multiple Dao Lords. His act of aggressively collecting materials had offended too many people.
Furthermore, behind every piece of such top-tier material was a background of immense power.
Before his death, the Fourth Lord of the Undead sealed the perfect creation within the inheritance system of the Lord of the Undead and left behind a final wish, hoping that future successors would carry on his legacy.
Later, several generations of the Lord of the Undead had attempted to find a soul for the perfect creation, but they searched throughout the heavens and myriad worlds and could never find a suitable one. Consequently, this perfect creation was abandoned by the Lords of the Undead, remaining sealed within the inheritance for a long time.
Until now, it had been summoned once again by Chen Xu, even occupying a skeleton hero slot.
Chen Xu stepped forward, attempting to communicate with Bone Guard Ten, only to find that there was truly no soul inside its body, making any communication impossible.
"If it can't move, isn't it just a figurine that's only for show?"
Chen Xu felt quite helpless. Such a fine physical body could only stand there like a statue, its only purpose being for display; it was truly a waste.
"It lacks a soul. Where am I supposed to find a suitable soul for it?"
After complaining, Chen Xu waved his hand, and the other skeleton heroes carried Bone Guard Ten into the castle so he wouldn't have to look at it and feel annoyed.
Then, his gaze caught the giant axe of Bone Guard Seven. Chen Xu's blurred reflection appeared on the smooth blade.
A thought rose in Chen Xu's mind.
"Would it work if I put my own soul inside?"
"Wait, let me test something first." He immediately shouted for the skeleton heroes to stop and reached out to press his hand against Bone Guard Ten's head, attempting to permeate it with his mental strength.
The attempt was successful. Although the resistance to the mental strength's penetration was great, there was no rejection, indicating that his idea might be feasible.
After the test, Chen Xu withdrew his hand and signaled the skeleton heroes to continue.
"While the mental strength penetration succeeded, directly transferring the soul is still too risky. I wonder if Senior Ye and the others have any external incarnation techniques."
Chen Xu returned to Blue Star and immediately pulled out his smart terminal to call Ye Bufan.
"Brother Chen, long time no see."
The call connected, and Ye Bufan's voice came through, accompanied by the whistling of the wind and the hum of a sword.
"Brother Ye, is it convenient for you right now? Why does it sound like you're fighting someone?"
"It's convenient. I'm just practicing my swordplay."
"Brother Ye, do you have any external incarnation techniques, like the One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones or something similar?"
Chen Xu's words left Ye Bufan momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
After a moment of thought, Ye Bufan spoke, "As for the legendary ancient powerhouse technique, One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones, I certainly wish I had it, but I don't have that kind of luck."
"As for external incarnation techniques, I haven't practiced them. I follow the traditional path of a sword cultivator, with extreme devotion to the sword. However, I do know of two places where you might find information on such techniques."
"Oh? Please tell me more, Brother Ye."
"The two great sects, Tianxin and Shuanghua, have external incarnation techniques. I saw them use them when I went to challenge them. Especially the Shuanghua Sect; almost every core disciple has an incarnation."
"I suspect it's because of a rare item on Shuanghua Island called Unmelting Ice, which has special properties. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why so many people from the Shuanghua Sect have mastered incarnations."
"The world of the Immortal Island? Alright, thanks for the help, Brother Ye."
"No problem. There's no need for such formalities between us."
After hanging up, Chen Xu fell into thought.
He was already blacklisted in the world of the Immortal Island. If he wanted to go there, clashing with that moon would be unavoidable.
Chen Xu was a man of principle; he always believed in repaying grievances with virtue. Since there was a grudge with the moon of the Immortal Island, he would use his martial virtue to settle it.
"After I'm done with the South Realm, I'll go to the Immortal Island and have a word with that moon!"
