Chapter 449: Chapter445-History Repeats Itself?
Bone Abyss.
Cold, deathly winds howled, sweeping through the scattered bones on the ground, causing them to rattle faintly. The sound resembled countless wailing spirits.
The once steadfast bone celestial gods fled in terror, allowing Leslie to press on unimpeded.
Moving at incredible speed, Leslie quickly arrived at the tallest skeletal peak ahead.
Standing before it, she immediately felt a terrifying energy ripple toward her.
It was the aura of an ancient god!
The bone celestial gods who had previously scattered now seemed reinvigorated, turning their gazes toward Leslie.
This towering mountain of skulls was the core of the Bone Abyss-Bone Peak.
It was a sacred area that only the bone celestial gods could approach. Most significantly, it housed the Ancient Remains, a source of the precious bone stones.
These bone stones were invaluable for breakthroughs to become celestial gods. For anyone else, merely harboring the thought of approaching this place would result in instant annihilation.
Now that Leslie had ventured this far, surely the ancient god would not tolerate her audacity! "Lord Ancient God, this insolent woman is too arrogant..."
Some Throne Celestials braced themselves, preparing to attack Leslie.
But at that moment, an undeniable voice from the ancient god rang out:
"Hold your ground."
Hold?
The bone Throne Celestials froze in place, bewildered.
The ancient god was known for its fiery temper, yet it showed no explosive reaction to Leslie's provocation.
While they obeyed without question, they speculated that the ancient god's restraint was a prelude to an even greater outburst.
"Lord Ancient God must know that we're no match for Leslie right now."
"The ancient god is lying in wait at Bone Peak. Letting Leslie enter must be a trap to cut off her retreat and annihilate her!"
"Exactly. Lord Ancient God's strategies are far-reaching. Let her be arrogant for now-it won't matter in the end."
The bone celestial gods whispered among themselves, their faith and reverence for the ancient god growing stronger.
Leslie ignored their speculation. With no celestial gods to block her, she proceeded straight into Bone Peak.
As she entered, all attention fixated on her.
The bone celestial gods could feel the ancient god's overwhelming aura pressing down on Leslie, probing her spirit and presence.
However, this seemingly aggressive aura quickly receded into silence.
Leslie scanned the interior of the peak, which resembled a cavern made entirely of skulls.
The chilling atmosphere sent shivers down the spine, the air filled with an unsettling coldness.
At the center of the cavern lay a massive skeletal corpse. While humanoid in shape, it was enormous, with protruding bone spikes across its surface.
Though seemingly lifeless, Leslie's senses told her it was a unique, living entity.
The flesh and marrow essence of the entire Bone Abyss had been absorbed into this skeletal form. In its hollow center, clusters of bone stones shimmered like beacons in an eternal night.
There were nine bone stones in total.
Leslie nodded in satisfaction and immediately summoned her mana, attempting to draw the precious bone stones into her grasp.
However, the skeletal remains emitted a unique energy that instantly nullified her magic. "Interesting," Leslie murmured with a smirk.
She unleashed chains of Dominion Force, directing them toward the skeletal remains.
The bone spikes on the remains extended and attempted to resist the chains.
But as soon as they touched Leslie's unique power, they melted like snow under the sun. The chains, formed by the Dominion Force, tore through the resistance and extracted the bone stones.
"Bone stones!"
The bone celestial gods, who had been observing Leslie closely, felt a flicker of greed.
For bone celestial gods like them, these stones held immense potential to help them shatter bottlenecks and ascend to unprecedented tiers of power.
Moreover, the bone stones were also incredibly beneficial to their ancient god. Leslie's actions were beyond egregious-the ancient god would never let her take them!
Not only was this outright robbery, but it was also a blatant humiliation to the Forbidden Zone. Without these bone stones, their chances of advancing would become exceedingly slim. As they prepared to join forces with the ancient god to launch an attack on Leslie, she had already dashed out of Bone Peak.
To their shock, the ancient god had yet to make any move!
"She plundered the Bone Abyss-another Forbidden Zone has been robbed. Is Leslie truly defying the heavens?"
"Even the ancient god isn't responding. Has it given up?"
The crowd was abuzz with speculation, many realizing they had underestimated Leslie.
Her strength was terrifying, and her utter lack of reverence for the Forbidden Zones was
unprecedented.
Two Forbidden Zones had been plundered!
Even Owen had merely extorted resources from three Forbidden Zones; he had never stormed in as Leslie had, treating them as unguarded lands ripe for looting.
"She's already taken the Flame of Desire and the bone stones. Surely Leslie will stop here?"
"She has enough resources to focus on refining and consolidating her gains. After all, she's already fulfilled part of her bold declarations. She'll likely quit while she's ahead."
"With the ancient gods awakening, Leslie isn't reckless. If she truly antagonizes all four Forbidden Zones, the fully revived ancient gods will undoubtedly make her their primary
target!"
Many powerful factions withdrew their attention, assuming Leslie's spree had come to an
end.
But just then, they noticed Leslie heading toward the Infinity Tower.
This time, Leslie moved even faster, having honed her plundering tactics.
The ancient god of the Infinity Tower did not confront Leslie at all. No matter how aggressive
her approach, it acted as though it saw and heard nothing, allowing Leslie to pillage the area
freely.
This sent shockwaves through countless minds.
Yet another Forbidden Zone had remained silent in the face of Leslie's dominance.
Could even the ancient gods be no match for Leslie, forced to submit to her?
Whispers of Leslie's deeds spread like wildfire, and many began looking at her with newfound
admiration.
No one enjoyed living under constant oppression.
The power and fear of the Forbidden Zones had forced them to bow their heads for too long.
Now, Leslie had not only stood against the Forbidden Zones but had also emerged unscathed. Even though most knew they were far weaker than Leslie, her actions had chipped away at their ingrained fear of the Forbidden Zones.
If Leslie could accomplish this, then perhaps one day, so could they.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The invincible aura of the Forbidden Zones was gone for good.
Even celestial gods like the God of Alchemy, who had returned through the Time Array, were
left dazed.
They had initially thought Leslie's talk of destroying the Celestials and Forbidden Zones was audacious, assuming it would take her ages to act.
Yet, in such a short time, Leslie had not only targeted the Forbidden Zones but had also stolen numerous treasures from them!
She treated the Forbidden Zones as though they were nothing.
Though she had yet to destroy them outright, Leslie had become a beacon of hope for many.
"Only one Forbidden Zone remains-the Forbidden Sea. Will Leslie go there?" "Rumor has it the Forbidden Sea is on high alert, and its ancient god is fully awakened!"
"She's already acted against the other three Forbidden Zones. Knowing Leslie's character,
she'll likely go regardless of the danger!"
"But this is an ancient god's home ground. If Leslie goes there, everything she's
accomplished so far might be for nothing!"
"If she doesn't go, it could damage her growing reputation!"
The world was abuzz with speculation about Leslie's next move.
Meanwhile, Madelyn, holding reports streaming in from various sources, gazed solemnly at
Leslie beside her.
