Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Su Hao, unable to find any rebuttal to Bai Du's teasing, remained silent and simply continued walking forward.

Dorombalut floated behind him like a ghost, while Dorombesia's younger brother and sister perched on top of Su Hao's head, mimicking dragon horns on either side.

Seeing this, Bai Du followed, then sat on the Flying Dragon and said, "Let's go to the altar first. As long as we don't go towards the Rift, the 75th floor is safe."

As for those wild Pokémon of the Flying and Dragon types, Lance never took them seriously from the beginning.

If it weren't for that accident, how could this place have stopped him!

"Row."

Su Hao nodded, then flipped over and mounted Doronbaruto.

The two Dragon-type Overlords completely ignored the movements of the Flying Pokémon that inhabited the area and recklessly advanced towards the huge dragon-shaped "skull" altar.

Midway through, Su Hao paused for a moment to carefully observe the bone spikes protruding from the sand. The more he looked at their arrangement, the more they seemed to resemble some kind of giant, serpentine creature.

Bai Du offered an explanation at the right moment: "It should be modeled after the appearance of Rayquaza, the sky god, except that these so-called bones are completely artificial."

"Besides synthetic meat, are there artificial bones...?"

Upon hearing Bai Du's explanation, Su Hao muttered a complaint under his breath.

............................................

It must be said that the Dragonbone Wasteland is a rather vast area.

On their way to the Dragon Bone Altar, Su Hao and Bai Du encountered many wild Pokémon groups, including many flying-type bird Pokémon, as well as true dragon-type Pokémon. They even encountered a Salamence that seemed to dominate a large area of ​​the sky.

However, their energy levels are completely inadequate. The strongest of them, the Overlord Salamence, is only at the late Elite Four level, making them incomparable.

When Dragapult and Lance's Salamence unleashed Dragon's Might, the opponent immediately crumbled.

Looking at the diverse species on the 75th floor, Su Hao sighed with admiration.

If I had climbed the Sky Tower much earlier, and if the Sky Tower had appeared earlier, I wonder how many more interesting stories would have unfolded.

Layer by layer, they explore, unraveling the remaining messages and clues left by the ancient people who worshipped Rayquaza, the god of the sky. Finally, they reach the hundredth floor of the Sky Tower to confront the awakened Rayquaza, their courage earning his appreciation and forging a bond between them...

In a web novel, it would need at least a hundred or two hundred chapters of filler.

Unlike now, in just twelve hours, which is only four or five chapters in a novel, I have already climbed three-quarters of the Sky Tower.

These 75 floors seem a bit strange, I hope it won't prevent me from clearing the Sky Tower in one day.

After about ten minutes of flying at full speed, Su Hao could see the altar made of the huge dragon-shaped skull more clearly.

The altar was empty inside, but countless rough stone tablets were scattered around it.

After Dorombalto landed, Su Hao, carrying Dorombecia's younger brother and sister, approached and examined the stone tablets.

Unfortunately, the inscriptions carved on it have long been blurred by wind and sand. Even the few characters that have survived are completely incomprehensible.

Su Hao wandered around the area, but found nothing except stepping on silvery-gray sand.

Bai Du laughed and said, "Don't bother looking, you won't find any useful information here."

When he first arrived at the 75th floor, he had already recorded everything about the altar with a high-definition camera. He originally planned to go through a few more floors and then take it back to the experts hired by the Dragon Clan for interpretation. However, he suffered a complete Waterloo and was kicked out of the Sky Tower.

Left with no other option, he handed the information over to the experts, but after several confirmations, it was determined that there was no valuable information near the altar.

At most, it just lets people know that these ancient people have the custom of sacrifice.

The crucial information was hidden in that rift valley that stretched across the wasteland.

Bai Du sighed; now he understood.

Now, relying solely on myself, I'm afraid I really have no chance of clearing this level.

Why not take advantage of Su Hao's presence and eliminate that hidden danger in one fell swoop?

Once this is dealt with, unlike the projected Pokémon that can be refreshed or the mostly wild and untamed Pokémon in this tower, once it is dealt with, you won't have to worry about it for a long time, and the 75th floor will return to normal difficulty.

With that in mind, Bai Du simply led Su Hao to the edge of the altar.

He pointed to the sand that made up the sea of ​​sand and asked, "Do you know why the sand here is silvery-gray?"

Su Hao shook his head honestly. He couldn't very well answer that it was because of the high iron content, could he?

Bai Du continued, "This fine sand is all powder formed from the weathered scales of the Sky God, Liekongzuo."

"These pebbles have a weak magnetic field and will undulate periodically under the influence of ley lines, forming waves like breathing. During thunderstorms, the static electricity generated by the friction of the pebbles can trigger a chain discharge phenomenon, which can further attract lightning to fall, making the pebbles even finer and preventing flying Pokémon from being troubled by natural disasters."

"The only places that can guarantee one's safety in the chain reaction of electrical discharges, besides the entrance we just passed, are this altar and those huge skeletons."

Bai Du's gaze fell into the distance, and he thought to himself that it was a pity. Today might be a good day for the 75th floor, as there was no sign of thunderclouds gathering. It seemed that Su Hao would not be able to see that breathtaking scene.

He led Su Hao around half of the altar, arriving at the other edge.

Standing here and looking down, the entire rift valley appears unfathomably deep, and you can't see what's below with the naked eye.

Bai Du said quietly, "The staircase leading to the 76th floor is somewhere below this rift valley."

Su Hao looked down thoughtfully, not at all surprised.

After quickly clearing 74 floors, he discovered that the so-called staircase leading to the next floor in the Sky Tower was actually more like a few steps and a spatial passage leading to the next space.

This staircase can be built anywhere, just like the staircase Su Hao encountered in the wind-eroded corridor on the 20th floor, which was built in a rock passage.

"So what exactly is down there—"

Su Hao looked at Bai Du with a puzzled expression.

Bai Du didn't keep them in suspense and whispered, "Below this rift, there are piles of the shed skins of countless wild Dragon-type Pokémon that have lived here throughout the ages, as well as Rayquaza's... remains."

"The ancient people who built the Sky Tower called it the 'Remnant of the Sky.'"

Su Hao's eyes widened suddenly as he recalled the true nature of the silvery-gray desert that Bai Du had mentioned earlier, and realized the truth.

"You mean, this is where Rayquaza shed its skin?"

"There will be relevant records below, this is indeed where Rayquaza shed its skin."

Bai Du nodded, not denying it.

In Su Hao's mind, Reshiram's unexpected voice rang out, "I knew the energy concentration of Dragon and Flying types here was far higher than any of the previous levels. So there was this connection?"

Reshiram didn't know the specifics, but it had heard some things about Rayquaza and other rumors from the previous hero.

Rayquaza's enduring existence in the world, making it a truly ancient Pokémon, is not only due to its being beloved by the world, but also because it embodies the laws of the sky.

It also undergoes periodic molting, which is one of the factors that allows it to maintain its lifespan and strength at their peak while remaining awake year-round.

"Over time, the weathered scales accumulated and became a sea of ​​sand, while the shed remains settled at the bottom of the valley—"

Su Hao gazed down into the rift valley and murmured to himself.

But he had another question.

Su Hao knew that the rift valley contained a legendary resource called "Remnant of the Void".

But what could possibly be preventing Baidu from advancing any further?

Bai Du stared down with a solemn expression. Beside him, the Flying Dragon flapped its blood-red wings, a hint of apprehension flashing in its eyes.

"Perhaps it was the passage of time that caused these strange changes that the ancient people could not have imagined."

"After all, they probably never imagined that they would disappear into the torrent of history and time."

"Over the years, the chain reaction of electrical discharges generated in the fine sand of the dragon scales, along with the accumulation of ley line power, has revived a 'Remnant of the Void,' which is the most recent 'Remnant of the Void' on a timescale. The phantom that drives this remnant roams beneath this rift, indiscriminately attacking any life form that enters its range."

Chapter 1443 The Abyss of Molting

"The resurrected remnant of the void, the phantom that drives its actions..."

Upon hearing this, not only did Su Hao's expression turn strange, as if he had remembered something.

Even Reshiram remarked thoughtfully, "It's kind of like a tail spirit."

Su Hao nodded in agreement.

Similarly, there is a "shadow" that drives the actions of the discarded part of the body.

Su Hao even boldly speculated that perhaps it was because of the abundant natural energy of the Sky Tower that, under such environmental influences, "consciousness" and "phantoms" were born one after another from parts abandoned by the legendary elves.

But if we're talking about the differences between the two...

That is, before the Motor Lizard retrieved its tail, the Tail Spirit possessed all of Guleton's power.

The resurrected Sky Legacy not only lacks Rayquaza's full power, but its resurrection also relies on other powers.

Otherwise, Bai Du wouldn't have been stuck here for months.

They would probably have been wiped out in a single encounter, and wouldn't have been able to wait until today to come here.

It allows Bai Du and Bai Du to escape smoothly, but it also keeps them at bay, leaving them helpless.

Based on these conditions, the phantom controlling the Void Remnant's actions should at most possess the power of a late-stage Champion, not quite a Master.

After all, it is an anomaly that is somewhat related to Rayquaza. If it were a Master-level anomaly, there would be no chance for Lance and Salamence to escape.

Furthermore, according to Bai Du, there is an electrical discharge phenomenon in the Dragon's Bone Wasteland, and it is this phenomenon that revived the Sky's Remains.

The discharge phenomenon here might mean that it can charge or strengthen the remnant of the void.

Therefore, the absence of electrical discharge today presents the best opportunity for strategic maneuvering.

I think I arrived at a pretty good time.

And the remnants of the sky just happened to be one of the materials I needed, which was a pleasant surprise.

It has only been a few months. At this time, the tail spirit is still sleeping in the tail of the motorcycle lizard, but it is best to prepare its body in advance.

Mewtwo's cloning technology is very advanced; that is an indisputable fact.

However, cloning technology also has its limitations.

The materials required to clone a body capable of withstanding the power of legend are astonishing.

Among the materials Mewtwo provided to Su Hao was a list that required him to collect materials containing legendary dragon factors. It would extract and purify these materials and then inject them into the clone, nurturing it to the point where it could withstand the power of the legend.

Su Hao originally planned to collect some Reshiram, Motostoma, Giratina, and Kyurem in the future, and that should be enough to collect them all.
