"Hmm?" Hearing the murmur behind him, Ye Chen paused in his steps.
"Shedding the undead form?" Ye Chen turned around and pondered, looking at Oros's massive dragon skeleton.
This was something he hadn't considered before.
Previously, I only thought that since Oros was an undead creature, if he entered Fengdu City, he would be able to enjoy endless benefits.
But he forgot one thing: Fengdu City is a ghost city, not a city of the dead. There is a difference between ghosts in China and the dead in the West.
In scientific terms, ghosts are a kind of magnetic field, and the spirits of the dead attach this magnetic field to certain objects, such as skeletons.
Only spirits and other soul-like beings can be called pure ghosts, capable of easily traversing the Yellow Springs Road and entering Fengdu City. Of course, this is just his guess.
“Oros, Fengdu City is a ghost city, only ghosts can enter, that is, souls. And your bone dragon body is obviously not a pure soul form. Once you cross the Yellow Springs Road, I'm afraid your dragon bones will dissipate!” After understanding the key point, Ye Chen looked up at Oros and said.
He couldn't say for sure whether ghosts or the dead were better, since this was the first time either had appeared in Fengdu City, so he had no right to make a decision for Oros.
"Souls? Is this a city of souls?" Oros looked up at the dim sky over Fengdu City, his tone filled with confusion.
"That's not wrong, is it? From some perspectives, there's not much difference between ghosts and souls!" Ye Chen shrugged.
"If I become a spirit, can I live in this city forever?" Oros continued to ask.
"Yes, and this city is quite extraordinary. As it grows stronger in the future, it should also have the ability to reincarnate, allowing the souls within to be reborn!" Ye Chen nodded. From this perspective, transforming into a soul form is not a bad thing; at least it would offer more opportunities.
"The ability to reincarnate!" Oros was taken aback. It might not understand the meaning of reincarnation, but it knew about rebirth, which meant being reborn.
"Boom!" With that thought, Oros no longer hesitated and took a step forward.
In an instant, pale blue flames rose from his dragon bones. As an undead, he felt a sharp pain and a sense of floating. His body was burning and his soul was being torn apart.
"Roar~~~" Oros let out a low roar, ignoring the pain in his body, and continued walking forward.
Before embarking on the road to the underworld, it was filled with fear, but once it actually started, it no longer cared. On the contrary, it had a feeling that if it made it across, it would gain immense benefits and its future would be bright.
"Boom~~~" Oros was enormous. With each step it took forward, the ground trembled, and new pale blue flames rose from its body, which were ghost flames symbolizing the soul.
"This?" Ye Chen looked at the scene in front of him and even stepped aside to make way for Oros. At this point, Oros no longer needed his guidance and would walk forward resolutely on his own.
However, this road to the underworld seemed to be very, very long. Ye Chen was surprised to find that Oros's body, which was a hundred meters long, was not even half the length of this fifty-meter road to the underworld.
Distance and time seemed to lose their meaning at this moment. Oros moved forward step by step, his tall bone dragon body constantly being burned, yet he still could not escape this road to the underworld.
"Roar~~~" Finally, Oros let out a painful roar, and the huge dragon bone collapsed and fell into the dried-up Yellow Springs next to it.
The detached bone dragon body contained a ball of eerie blue soul fire floating in mid-air. As Oros roared, it changed shape continuously. Finally, a smaller skeletal dragon appeared in Ye Chen's eyes. That was Oros's soul form after becoming a bone dragon.
"There's no turning back, keep going forward!" Sensing the Soul Dragon's hesitation, Ye Chen shouted loudly towards the bluestone road.
Oros, in his soul form as a bone dragon, shuddered. He slightly turned his dragon head, which was about to turn back, but stopped abruptly and looked ahead again. Then, he took a step with his soul and continued walking towards Fengdu City.
This time, Oros no longer felt the pain he had felt before, and even heard the cheers of the soul, as if he had finally found his home.
With each step Oros took forward, the soul of the bone dragon form grew more complete, even sprouting an illusory physical body, followed by intricate dragon scales and claws...
When the last scale solidified, Oros roared to the sky, took the final step, and finally emerged from the underworld.
"Roar~~~" He stopped and looked back, still seemingly shaken by the fifty-meter-long bluestone path.
"Congratulations, Oros!" Looking at the majestic frost dragon before him, Ye Chen was both shocked and couldn't help but offer his congratulations.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Oros bowed his head and expressed his heartfelt gratitude, while its attributes appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

Race: Frost Dragon (Soul)
Rank: 6th Loyalty: 100

Talent Skill 3: Dragon Breath: The breath of an ice dragon, capable of freezing everything.
Talent Skill 4: Dragon's Might: Born with dragon's might, it can have a certain deterrent effect on most creatures. The effect is best for low-level dragon bloodlines.
...
"His strength has increased!" Ye Chen thought in shock. He had only separated from the bone dragon's body and transformed into a true ghost dragon, yet he had completely unleashed the power that Oros possessed in his lifetime.
Although it is still at the 6th rank, just like the previous Bone Dragon, its attributes have reached the limit of the 6th rank. As long as it takes another step, it can become a 7th rank demigod. This is absolutely the peak combat power in any lord's territory.
Not only that, the previous necromancy talent has also turned into a ghost body. Like those ghosts, it can ignore physical attacks and move between yang objects. However, unlike those ghosts, it is not invisible to light, but simply fears the extreme yang energy.
"His strength has increased, and he has easily mastered all the talents he possessed in his previous life. Most importantly, he can be given a position in the underworld!" Ye Chen looked at Oros's attributes and the ability to bestow a position that lit up afterward, and a sense of excitement rose in his heart.
