Chapter 298: 230: That is the Tomb of the Gods (3) - The First Update _2
Despite being extraordinary, it needed exactly three similar fragmented bones to be put together to form it.
And the other two pieces had long been held in Shi Hao’s hands. He couldn’t possibly rob a child’s possession, no matter what, it was the fortuity destined for Emperor Huang Tian. A single piece didn’t hold that much significance for him.
Even though it did have some connection with the Original Truth of the Bone Emperor.
Most importantly, the role of the Ten Thousand Spirits Map leaned more towards assisting. It could only aid in studying the Original Truth or help in intimidating specific powerful Ferocious Beasts and others, which was nothing compared to the variations of God Guidance, detachment, and the ultimate three.
However, the crystal skull, eyeball, and golden hand bone did make Jiang Hui glance twice.
He could clearly sense that within these two items, a uniquely powerful consciousness lay dormant. However, it was already loosening up, and perhaps it might awaken in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years.
Jiang Hui vaguely recollected that these three items should be the remnant of remains left by the Immortal king who died here.
Even though it exerted far less divinity over the long years, it still held a hint of its former power. Once it exploded, it would bring about devastatingly powerful impacts.
As for this vast Xiling Boundary, it was merely the spiritual world created by these three remnants of the Immortal King’s bones.
The Immortal King was a transcendent existence, almost immortal. Even the spiritual power emanated was indistinguishable from the real physical world.
At this moment.
There stood a thin young man before this altar, tall and upright, just like a green pine.
It was no one else but Little Dot.
His face was resolute, his eyes seemed to be aflame.
Behind him.
Three tall figures walked in line, carefree. Their eyes were filled with relentless contempt.
The leader was a Pangolin of several tens of meters in size. What followed was a corpse of several tens of meters in size with white wings on its back, and a young man with a soft facial appearance and long silver hair.
Half of these three figures were shrouded in fog, enveloped by an eye-catching divine light, the body booming, vibrating the surroundings, roaring like angry beasts. They were floating in mid-air, looking down at Little Dot from above.
“Shi Hao, you have nowhere to retreat. It’s better to kill yourself, otherwise waiting for us to take action would be a far cry from this kind of easy end.”
The giant corpse wrapped in corpse cloth spoke, releasing a rampant death aura that turned into an invisible wave; there was wailing of undead souls, making people shudder.
However, just when the voices of these three Godfire Realm beings had just fallen, they realized something was amiss.
Because the youngster in front of them looked too composed, completely fearless, unlike before.
“Not good, it’s that altar! There is a big horror awakening within it, this boy is going to harm us!”
All of the Pangolin’s scales stood up, a clear sign of extreme fright.
Just as the voice of this Ferocious Beast fell, the mysterious altar suddenly started shaking wildly…
In an instant, a surging rush of chill exploded, a blazing light shot into the sky, making it hard for people to open their eyes.
However, in just a moment, these three Godfire Realm beings were engulfed by it.
Jiang Hui’s eyes shimmered. Piercing through the shooting light and looking inside.
He saw the golden hand bone suddenly flew off.
There were no runes flashing, no strange light appearing, it just smacked the Pangolin straight on.
After that.
The Pangolin, which had ignited the divine fire, exploded directly. Not even a help call was made. Its hard scales that were as solid as a rock seemed as fragile as tofu…
“Splash…”
The crimson blood floated in mid-air. The next moment, it automatically rushed towards the crystal skull.
After that.
The same happened to the remaining two Godfire Realm beings; their blood and energy were all sucked up by the crystal skull, turning them into dry corpses.
This scene was shocking.
Beings that had ignited the divine fire, ascended to a Divine Position
After finishing all this, the golden skull and crystal skull did not continue to show their powers, directly flew back to the altar, leaving a somewhat surprised Shi Hao.
Afterward, the young man regained his mind, sighed, and picked up the three dry fragments. He strode forward and left this place that buried countless spirits as soon as possible.
“I can take these things!”
Jiang Hui had been observing the changes in the field. Seeing the golden hand bone and the crystal skull showing great power, he couldn’t help but secretly say, raising some thoughts in his mind.
The three items were all the remains of the Immortal King. If used correctly, they would be incredibly beneficial.
However, he was uncertain of the current state of these three items. Have they been fully revived? Or do they possess just a fraction of their peak strength?
Based on their current condition, they probably weren’t that powerful, at most comparable to a True God. Even at their best, they’re just a few pieces of the Immortal King’s remains.
Even if he was wrong, he remained confident that he could retreat unscathed.
With that thought settled.
Jiang Hui withdrew his focus and stepped forth.
Liu Village was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Xiling Beast Mountain, a distance mortal humans could never traverse in their lifetime. For Jiang Hui now, it was merely a few more steps.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
The moment he appeared.
The entire Xiling Boundary violently shook as if boiling water. Beings were roaring, and grand whispers surfaced.
In the end, one could even hear the thudding of a heartbeat, as if an immortal being was waking up.
Before his eyes, bloody runes rushed into the sky, dense like a countless number of stars filling the heavens. An overwhelming sense of solemnity pervaded the atmosphere.
This sight was breathtaking and filled with an invisible killing intent.
Not to mention the three weakest Godfire Realm Beings, even if an old servant from the Immortal Palace came, they would undoubtedly be killed instantly…
The aura was overpowering, and it was still rising during the revival!
Even Shi Hao, who had traveled a great distance, felt this strange activity. He was astounded and shocked.
“What’s happening?” The young man’s brows furrowed as he quickly looked in the direction he had come from.
However, due to his current limited realm, even when he widened his eyes significantly, he couldn’t see or perceive anything clearly.
His ignorance towards the unknown distressed him.
Something significant was happening right under his nose, potentially crucial, but he was unaware and couldn’t participate. This gave him a sense of powerlessness over his own fate.
But Shi Hao could feel that a terrifying being must have intruded the Xiling Boundary, inciting its resistance.
To be precise.
It was very likely that those three mysterious bone pieces had acted.
Otherwise, he couldn’t think of anyone else who could create such a horrifying uproar – an overwhelming force, affecting even at a few thousand miles away.
Besides.
Among the overflowing aura, Little Dot perceived a unique rhythm… as if… facing a formidable foe…
This was what surprised Shi Hao the most.
Because no matter the Golden Hand Bone or the Crystal Skull, they were both exceptionally powerful and mysterious, capable of easily slaughtering cultivators in the Godfire Realm.
It was hard to imagine what could make them feel apprehensive, even when they have fully recovered.
Nevertheless, he did not think much about it.
Although Shi Hao acted ostentatiously, he was aware of his current strength. He knew that he was not capable to get involved in such a terrifying clash, hence he quickly turned around, riding the Void Beast Skin and swiftly moved in a certain direction…
Just as he had suspected.
The Godfire Realm Beings from the Lower Realm really intended to attack him. They would likely target the people of Stone Kingdom or Stone Village. He needed to plan accordingly.
…
“Halt, or face death!”
Inside Xiling Beast Mountain, irregular grave mounts spanned across towering peaks, emanating an eerie aura.
In the heavens, a voice reminiscent of the toll of a giant bell entered Jiang Hui’s mind, warning him not to proceed further.
Yet Jiang Hui remained impassive, completely unaffected.
With a casual wave of his hand, a majestic Divine Power immediately poured out like a vast sea, washing away all the dense runes covering the high skies in an instant…
Furthermore, he reached out with his other hand, transforming it into a gigantic palm that covered the sky, reaching towards a certain spot.
“How dare you!”
The very next moment.
A deafening roar sounded…
