Chapter 482

Wei Tianchen asked Zhao Xing to lead the way, but the problem was that Zhao Xing did not know where he was either. The panel coordinates only showed a general map, indicating this was the Profound Yellow Realm, but there was no specific location.

Originally, this would not have been a problem. With the tiny size of the Nineteen Provinces, a scan with the Dharma Eye would have revealed everything at a glance; even small spaces like blessed lands and grotto-heavens could not escape the Dharma Eye.

However, the current Profound Yellow Realm was suspicious. Even Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen had their strength restricted, let alone Zhao Xing.

"Let's go down the mountain first and find someone to ask what territory this is," Zhao Xing said. "Which direction do you two think we should go?"

Bamboo Sword: "Northwest."

Wei Tianchen: "Southeast."

Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen had a disagreement once again.

Wei wanted to go southeast; he felt that heading in that direction gave a better chance of encountering experts and a better hope of figuring out the situation in the Profound Yellow Realm.

Venerable Bamboo Sword, however, did not want to go southeast. The four swords he had flown out earlier indicated that he would be severely suppressed in that direction.

"If you can't reach a consensus, how are we supposed to move?" Zhao Xing shook his head inwardly.

Venerable Bamboo Sword only wanted to fulfill the agreement and find a safe place for Wei, so that once his business with Zhao Xing was concluded, he could take Zhao Xing and leave.

But now that they had arrived, it was not safe at all, so he felt Wei Tianchen was deceiving him.

Now, Zhao Xing and Venerable Bamboo Sword stood on one side, keeping their distance from Wei Tianchen, and Venerable Bamboo Sword's four swords were always pointed at Wei Tianchen.

Zhao Xing's demands were different; he wanted to get rid of both Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen.

Wei Tianchen, on the other hand, wanted it all. Coming to the Profound Yellow Realm was not just to lift the Heart-Sealing Dharma, but also to explore the secrets of Qing Yuzi becoming a god.

However, the three of them did have one point of agreement for the time being: "safety."

Without guaranteed safety, everything else was just empty talk.

The barren mountains were endless, stretching as far as the eye could see, without a single blade of grass or tree in sight.

The sky was gloomy, and gusts of chilling wind blew, making one's heart flutter with panic.

Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen were at a stalemate, but eventually, Wei Tianchen compromised first: "How about we listen to Zhao Xing?"

Venerable Bamboo Sword tacitly agreed.

Yet, in just this short moment, the two discovered that Zhao Xing, under the influence of the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop, had sat down on the spot to cultivate.

In fact, Zhao Xing was not cultivating, but summoning.

"Before I ascended back then, I left behind quite a few 'divine artifacts,' such as the Kunyuan Hoe. I wonder if I can summon it, and what its quality is now."

When the Kunyuan Hoe was first retrieved by Zhao Xing from the Dragon Court, it was only at the level of a Star Dao Soldier. After the manual spiritual energy recovery, it had reached the level of a World-Star Dao Soldier.

As the Profound Yellow Realm's spiritual energy recovered, the original treasures and rarities also upgraded; this was a characteristic of the treasures of the Profound Yellow Realm.

"According to Wang Tianzhi's account, two thousand five hundred years after we left, the Human Emperor Sword and Book of Destiny left behind by Ji Che, the Heaven and Earth Seed-Soldier Scripture left by Liu Tianning, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace left by Grand Minister of Works Lu Ying had all appeared in the world, and they had all undergone large-scale upgrades."

"As for me, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I left behind even more things. Besides the Kunyuan Hoe, there were the Earth Emperor Tripod, the Ancient Yin Warship,"

"the Divine Court Solar Term Order, and the Dragon Court Code—"

Zhao Xing believed that since the Profound Yellow Realm had upgraded as a whole, the things he left behind might have also become true divine artifacts!

"Hum—"

A sudden palpitation surged in his heart; from the very distant southeast, a faint sense of familiarity came.

"Is this the Kunyuan Hoe? Or something else?"

Zhao Xing was not sure, because he had left behind many things. This fluctuation was both unfamiliar and familiar, so he could not determine it.

He tried to summon it and found that the fluctuation grew a bit stronger. This subtle difference proved one thing: his summoning was effective, but it was too far away, or it was restricted by something, moving very slowly.

"Hiss—" Venerable Bamboo Sword used his Heart Sword to burn Zhao Xing, pulling him back from the influence of the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop.

"Since we're listening to me, then we go southeast."

Venerable Bamboo Sword frowned, but since he had agreed to let Zhao Xing decide, he did not refute it again.

For the sake of caution, the three chose the most primitive method: flying using aerial spells.

Leading the way was Wei Tianchen, who held a divine object called the "Yuan Wheel." According to him, this divine object could conceal aura and karma, and it was an important divine object he used to evade pursuit.

The Yuan Wheel looked like a flat golden bowl; the three stood inside it, using the Yuan Wheel to carry them as they flew.

Only ten breaths later, the problem arose.

Wei Tianchen: "Something's not right."

Zhao Xing: "What's not right?"

Wei Tianchen: "Although the Yuan Wheel's main function is concealment, its speed shouldn't be slow. We've flown for ten breaths, and we've only flown ten thousand miles!"

Zhao Xing was a bit puzzled: "Isn't it that you're deliberately controlling it to be this slow?"

"No, that's not it."

Wei Tianchen suddenly put away the Yuan Wheel and then drove it with magic power, flying with his physical body.

After flying for another ten breaths, they stopped again.

At this moment, Venerable Bamboo Sword's expression was very grave.

"Something's not right."

Zhao Xing was a bit confused: "What's not right?"

Venerable Bamboo Sword took a deep breath:

"Wei Tianchen's divine object has been pushed to its limit, yet its speed is still only ten thousand miles per breath."

"Flying by spell is even slower."

Zhao Xing: "You have been suppressed?"

Venerable Bamboo Sword took a deep breath: "The problem is that neither Wei Tianchen nor I feel any actual suppression. Our tests just now were all conducted at our own limit speeds."

"Whether it's flying by spell, flying by sword, or using a divine object to carry us, the limit speed is constant, which is ten thousand miles per breath."

Wei Tianchen explained with a grave expression: "It seems the Heavenly Dao laws of this world stipulate that ten thousand miles per breath is the fastest speed. Demigods or divine objects, whether magic power is high or low, or whether flight spells are brilliant or mediocre, it makes no difference."

"Assuming you were the one flying, you would also reach ten thousand miles per breath."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Xing understood: "In terms of limit speed, there is no difference between a demigod and an Emperor-level expert. If I were to fly, I could also reach the limit speed. Using one part of magic power to fly and using ten parts of magic power to fly both result in ten thousand miles per breath."

"Yes, that's it." Venerable Bamboo Sword nodded. After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "But how can this be?"

The difference between a demigod and an Emperor-level expert is more than just a little, yet now they have been forcibly pulled to the same level.

At least in terms of flight speed, they are the same!

Wei Tianchen muttered: "A Free-Spirit God cannot change heaven and earth; only a True God of No-Tribulation can control heaven and earth."

"Even using the Yuan Wheel, we are still affected. Could it be that the Profound Yellow Realm has a No-Tribulation God King?"

"What kind of place is this—"

For the first time, Zhao Xing saw obvious fear on Wei Tianchen's face.

He still remembered that when this person first captured him, he knew Zhao Xing had the protection of Qing Yuzi, yet he still took action. He even boasted that even if Qing Yuzi came, he might not be afraid of him.

Wei Tianchen had multiple divine objects, so naturally, he could look down on Qing Yuzi, who had just become a god.

But if it were a No-Tribulation God King who had attained the Dao through heaven and earth, that would be a different matter. Even with all his divine objects, Wei Tianchen would be nothing more than an ant.

Venerable Bamboo Sword swung out a sword aura. He also felt that his sword aura had not been weakened in the slightest, yet it only shaved off a small hilltop before stopping.

"My sword dao, how did it become like this?"

The Fourteen-Tribulation Medical Venerable and the Eleven-Tribulation Sword Venerable both felt fear at this moment.

As the saying goes, the more one knows, the more one is in awe. On the contrary, it was Zhao Xing, the ignorant, who was fearless. He didn't have a shred of panic.

"You two, even if there really is some powerful god here, at least you've seen it, so stop being afraid."

Venerable Bamboo Sword: "Your cultivation is too low to understand. The origin of sword dao is everywhere and in everything. Even if I am suppressed, I should be able to feel where the suppression is, but now I feel nothing. Even the origin of sword dao I sense hasn't changed in the slightest, yet a full-strength sword strike can only shave off a hundred-meter-high mountain."

Zhao Xing could feel that Venerable Bamboo Sword had experienced a certain degree of collapse in his Dao heart. It seemed that heading southeast really did suppress him severely.

"My cultivation is low, but I know we still have to keep moving forward. Let him be strong, the breeze still brushes the mountain ridge."

"Let's just fly at the speed of ten thousand miles per breath. You two are both demigods; this world can't possibly be full of god-level beings on every street, so we won't encounter danger that easily."

Wei Tianchen seemed to be the first to come to his senses: "What you say makes sense. We were too obsessed."

"This old man thought he had long been prepared to die, but it seems my realization is not deep enough yet."

"Attaining the Dao through heaven and earth, heh, I really want to see it for myself."

Venerable Bamboo Sword also adjusted quickly; he put away his bamboo sword and didn't even let his sword aura out.

According to Wei's method, he was on the path of a Free-Spirit God, not seeking externally, so he simply stopped sensing the outside world,

guarding his spirit with his Heart Sword.

In this way, he felt much better. Although there was still awe in his heart, he was no longer afraid.

Before they had gone far, the new Profound Yellow Realm taught the two demigods a lesson.

"Let me lead the way."

Zhao Xing unleashed his Azure Flower magic power, riding the clouds and mist, and continued to fly southeast.

The actual situation was indeed as Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword said: whether spending a sliver of magic power or countless amounts, the speed limit was ten thousand miles per breath.

Zhao Xing adapted to this change very quickly. He had experienced becoming a complete mortal during the "Severing Heaven and Earth" instance, so what was this?

Before long, he found a balance point.

Using about three strands of Azure Flower magic power to cast the Cloud-Riding spell could reach the speed of ten thousand miles per breath; more was a waste, and less would reduce the speed.

They flew like this for about a month, and the sky gradually became dim. Finally, after the fourth month, they entered into an eternal night.

Zhao Xing was also a bit puzzled.

"Is this really the Profound Yellow Realm?"

"Flying at full speed for a month, we still haven't flown out of the mountain range, and instead, we've entered an eternal night region?"

"Besides the West Extreme Province, where in the Profound Yellow Realm is there an eternal night region?"

"It's been a month, and I haven't seen the sun once. It's either gray, cloudy skies or polar night."

"The earth veins are also without any pattern, making it impossible to judge the specific direction."

"At least the sensing of the local divine artifact has gotten a bit closer. But I've walked for a month, and the sensing has only strengthened by less than one ten-thousandth. Just how far away is it?"

Zhao Xing was also extremely puzzled by the changes in the new Profound Yellow Realm.

Not to mention comparing it to his own knowledge, even compared to the situation described by Wang Tianzhi many years ago, there was a huge difference. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was unrecognizable.

"Find someone first. We must find someone to ask to know what happened. The Great Zhou still occupies the precious land of the Central Plains, and Empress Ji Luohang rules the Nineteen Provinces. As long as we can find a cultivator to ask, they will surely know about the Great Zhou. As long as we can return to the Great Zhou and establish contact with Old Wang..."

"Ah—"

Just as he was thinking, Wei Tianchen suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony.

He fell directly onto his own cloud layer, as if suffering from immense pain.

Wei Tianchen's actions gave Zhao Xing a fright.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Tianchen could not die; the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop was bound to him. If Wei Tianchen ceased to exist, this thing would self-destruct.

"Click, click, click, click—"

Just as he leaned down to check on Wei Tianchen's condition, he discovered that Venerable Bamboo Sword's body was making a crackling sound, as if bones were rubbing against each other.

Zhao Xing looked back and saw a sparse moonlight piercing through the pitch-black clouds.

He saw the flesh on Venerable Bamboo Sword's face falling off piece by piece, and the bones, muscles, and fascia were rapidly tangling and dissolving.

In the blink of an eye, only the skull remained, along with the True Spirit spark jumping inside the cranium.

Looking down again, the flesh and blood on Wei Tianchen's body were also dissolving inch by inch, and before long, he turned into a white skeleton.

The only difference between him and Venerable Bamboo Sword was that Bamboo Sword's skeleton was dark gold.

Although the Sword Sect's physical body was not as strong as the Qi Sect's, they also had Golden Bodies, just not as monstrous, because their Golden Bodies did not fuse with their souls.

"Venerable Bamboo Sword, Old Imperial Physician, how are you—"

Before Zhao Xing could finish speaking, he discovered that the hand he used to support Wei Tianchen was also slowly turning into bone.

The flesh and blood disappeared, slowly spreading from his fingers to his wrist, though his speed was very slow.

Venerable Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen had both lost their flesh and blood in an instant, as if something had sucked it away in a second.

"Zhao Xing, my cultivation is gone, only my sword body remains." Venerable Bamboo Sword's True Spirit spark jumped in his eye socket, looking blankly at his own skeletal palm. "I can no longer condense sword aura, I—am crippled."

Wei Tianchen also climbed up at this time. He was still wearing his Dharma robe, but he had shrunk a size: "This old man's flesh-body secret techniques have all disappeared, only my ability to make medicine and refine poison remains."

Zhao Xing remembered that Wei Tianchen had some kind of human flesh-body secret technique; he had used it when he infiltrated the Rain Immortal Realm of the Spirit Void Origin Realm.

"Was my cultivation sucked away?" Zhao Xing was suddenly shocked, and he immediately realized a serious problem.

The spell-casting path certainly didn't value the physical body, but it depended on who.

The collapse of the Dharma body didn't matter to the core of the Earth-Profit faction's cultivation technique, "Extreme Land." One of the four Primordial clones he left outside had already learned the 【Life Earth Palace】 technique, and after the physical body was re-nurtured, the progress of Extreme Land could still be preserved.

Re-cultivating Extreme Land wouldn't take too long.

The Heaven-Time faction? They didn't have any cultivation techniques to begin with, and as for spells, they were all linked to the True Spirit. As long as the True Spirit was immortal, the collapse of the Dharma body had no effect.

However, if the Dharma body did not exist, then the internal world would not exist!

He would have to re-cultivate the internal world, and he didn't have a second World-Opening Divine Stone!

If the Dharma body collapsed, the internal world would also explode, and the troop types and the Hunyuan Dao Tower would all be blasted out.

The point was that the god-level native seed would "die in the womb" before it was even nurtured!

"Damn it!"

Master Zhao was suddenly anxious.

It was only because he had risked his life to trade for the World-Opening Divine Stone from Old Qing that his internal world had its current scale.

"My Dharma body cannot collapse! If it collapses, my internal world will collapse too!" Zhao Xing was burning with anxiety. He frantically drove his magic power, wanting to stop this collapse.

However, although his Dharma body's collapse was slower than Wei Tianchen's and Venerable Bamboo Sword's, it was spreading at a constant speed. Soon, the disappearance of the flesh on his right hand reached his shoulder.

"No!"

Azure Flower magic power erupted from Zhao Xing's body, followed by a layer of Red Lotus magic power, and finally, the ethereal Cangming magic power.

But none of the three seemed to have any effect; the Dharma body was still collapsing steadily.

As soon as it spread to the dantian, the internal world would completely disappear!

"Hum—"

No matter how unwilling he was, the symptoms of turning into a skeleton still spread to his dantian.

"Boom!"

It was as if a firework had exploded; an explosion sound came from the gas cyclone.

The three layers of "Extreme Land" he had cultivated collapsed and vanished into thin air.

Following that was the internal world. It had originally been upgraded from pure Yuan soil to an origin space, and then transformed into an internal world, still possessing a physical world core.

Just as the world core was about to be reached by the spread, two forces were transmitted from the internal world: one was the Hunyuan Dao Tower built by the Red Star Great Emperor, and the other was the god-level native seed that had absorbed the power of the World-Opening Divine Stone.

"Hum—"

The world core suddenly struck Zhao Xing's pelvis, embedding itself into the bone. Just before the vast sea of magic power evaporated into thin air, it fused with the skeletal body.

"..."

The next moment, the vast magic power disappeared into thin air, including the Azure Flower magic power, Red Lotus magic power, and Cangming magic power.

"Ah—"

Being instantly drained of magic power made Zhao Xing feel extreme weakness and pain.

Without magic power, he couldn't even maintain his cloud-riding.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Wei Tianchen, Zhao Xing, and Venerable Bamboo Sword all fell downward together.

At the very last moment before hitting the ground, Venerable Bamboo Sword's Golden Body suddenly erupted with a burst of light, wrapping around Zhao Xing's skeletal body. "Thump!"

Wei Tianchen, however, went into a free fall, his bones scattering all over the ground.

"Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing, how do you feel?" Venerable Bamboo Sword shook his white skeleton.

"I'm not dead." The True Spirit spark in Zhao Xing's eye socket jumped, conveying his intent.

He quickly adapted to the new changes.

As for Wei Tianchen, only his True Spirit spark floated to the side, revealing his aged figure within the fire, looking silently at the skeleton on the ground: "Bamboo Sword, why didn't you save me?"

Bamboo Sword's True Spirit flickered: "If you hadn't deceived me, how would I have ended up in this state?"

Wei Tianchen sighed and had to ask Zhao Xing for help: "Zhao Xing, please help me put my bones back together."

Zhao Xing had intended to pick up Wei Tianchen's skeleton, but he saw a shining golden hoop nearby, so he stopped his hand and instead raised his middle finger: "Put them together? Hmph, I'll put your mother together!"

Under this unknown change, the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop had actually been taken off.

The True Spirit spark was no longer trapped by the golden hoop. Now, Zhao Xing didn't have to worry about self-destructing if he left Wei Tianchen!

Seeing Zhao Xing refuse, Wei Tianchen controlled his True Spirit to scatter into his bones, slowly wriggling, and put himself back together.

As a demigod who had experienced fourteen tribulations, his True Spirit was incomparably powerful; his True Spirit spark was a brighter cluster than both Bamboo Sword's and his own.

Clearly, in this unknown change, this old thing adapted faster.

Wei Tianchen even quickly took out a new set of Dharma robes from the storage ring on his thumb and put them on.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Three skeletons with True Spirit sparks of different sizes immediately sat cross-legged to adapt to the new changes.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

【Profession: Minister of Agriculture】

【Realm: One-Tribulation True Spirit (Primordial clone soul, 96x amplification)】

【Bone Body: Star Dao Bone (0/10000)】

【Bone Power: First Rank (0/1000)】

【Internal World (Sealed)】

【Heart-Sealing Dharma (Abnormal)】

【Spells (Abnormal)】

【Bone God "Yuan" established the Dao in the Profound Yellow Realm, created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain, and seized heaven's secrets for 342 years.】

Zhao Xing looked at the new changes on the panel and fell into deep thought.

The new changes contained too much information.

First, after experiencing the collapse of his physical body just now, he had actually passed a tribulation and become a One-Tribulation True Spirit.

Secondly, the panel had added a new type, namely 【Star Dao Bone】.

His magic power had disappeared, but a power called 【Bone Power】 was now flowing in his bones.

Fortunately, the internal world had not disappeared.

The world core had fused into his pelvis, but it was temporarily sealed, as if the Red Star Great Emperor's power was wrestling with some god-level existence, finding a way to survive. It was just that Zhao Xing couldn't open the internal world anymore.

Due to the disappearance of magic power, all spells except for mind-will and soul-type spells were temporarily unusable.

The progress of the three types of magic power in the Heart-Sealing Dharma was still the same, but without the Dharma body, they couldn't be cast for the time being.

However, there was still a flame mark on his chest ribs, which was produced after his heart disappeared.

It was a wisp of Heart Lamp power left behind by Wu Tian.

"Wu Tian? His Heart Lamp power level is actually this high?"

Zhao Xing was a bit surprised.

However, he had no intention of investigating at this moment, because a sentence at the end of the panel attracted his attention:

"Bone God 'Yuan' established the Dao in the Profound Yellow Realm, created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain, and seized heaven's secrets for 342 years. Bone God Yuan created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain?"

"So the 'Yuan 342' shown on my coordinates refers to time? That's not right, the coordinates have never shown time." Zhao Xing was a bit confused.

But from this sentence, he could learn that Bone God "Yuan" had created the No-Tribulation Bone God Domain in the Profound Yellow Realm for 342 years.

The changes that occurred to him, Venerable Bamboo Sword, and Wei Tianchen must all have been influenced by Yuan's No-Tribulation Bone God Domain. Thinking of this, Zhao Xing immediately glanced at Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword.

After a short period of pondering, both of them had already undergone great changes.

【Name: Wei Tianchen】

【Realm: Fourteen-Tribulation True Spirit】

【Bone Body: Silver Moon Dao Bone (0/10000)】

【Bone Power: Third Rank (124/1000)】

【Spells: Bone Spirit Heavenly Poison, Refining Spirit Marrow, Spirit Pivot Nine Needles - Fate Reversal, Hundred Spirit Blood-Burning Technique (Sealed), Glass Heart Seed (Sealed), Acupoint Bone Scripture Ni Dharma, Three Corpses Pulse-Diagnosis Technique, Tai Su Pulse Wheel】

【...】

"Most of Wei Tianchen's spells have also been sealed, but he's unsealing them so fast. In just this short moment, nearly half of his spells have been unsealed."

"It seems he has already become familiar with the use of his new power." Zhao Xing pondered.

In just a second, Wei Tianchen had unsealed another new spell.

Wei Tianchen even picked up the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop again, seemingly trying to chant a spell.

Zhao Xing's skull tightened; this old guy wanted to cause trouble again!

"No, I must hurry and unseal my spells to adapt to the new power."

Zhao Xing explored; he found that this was actually very simple. The use of Bone Power was not much different from magic power, except that instead of mobilizing magic power from a specific dantian position, Bone Power could be mobilized from anywhere in the bones, which was equivalent to having countless dantians.

As for Venerable Bamboo Sword, he was the fastest to adapt among the three.

【Venerable Bamboo Sword】

【Profession: Martial Artist (Sword Sect)】

【Realm: Twelve-Tribulation True Spirit】

【Bone Body: Silver Moon Golden Body (0/10000)】

【Bone Power: Third Rank (424/1000)】

【Martial Skills: Three Thousand Sword Realms (Sealed), Heart Sword Technique, Great Thousand Sword Array (Qi), Great Thousand Sword Array (Artifact), Bright Moon Sword Body...】

"He's even faster to adapt than Wei Tianchen." Zhao Xing looked at his appearance; his bones emitted a faint starlight, his golden sword body had turned white-gold, and his elbow and finger bones looked like sharp swords.

Both were constantly adjusting and adapting, but Venerable Bamboo Sword was clearly faster, and his Bone Power even exceeded Wei Tianchen's.

Bone God "Yuan" was clearly a martial god-level existence, and although Venerable Bamboo Sword was of the Sword Sect, he was also a martial artist.

He adapted faster in the God Domain.

"Whoosh—"

The Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop in front of Wei Tianchen floated toward Zhao Xing's skull.

The spark in Venerable Bamboo Sword's eyes jumped, and a rib on his body suddenly detached and flew out.

"Clang!"

The Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop and the rib collided, emitting a burst of light in the night sky.

The rib flew back and re-embedded itself in its original position.

The golden hoop deformed and returned to Wei Tianchen's hand.

"Click, click, click—"

Three ribs detached again, hovering around Zhao Xing.

Wei Tianchen took out a new divine object from his storage ring; it looked like a piece of silk, but it was very long, like silk,

hanging down from Wei Tianchen's shoulder.

The Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop flew toward Zhao Xing again, while the silk-like divine object flew toward Bamboo Sword's three ribs.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The red silk flashed with light, shaking Bamboo Sword's ribs away.

Both of them wanted to gain control over Zhao Xing.

Because Zhao Xing was involved in their hopes of reaching the god realm.

Wei Tianchen needed to open the Seven-Star Cabinet and use the poisonous creatures inside to complete his grand plan of attaining the Dao through heaven and earth.

Venerable Bamboo Sword hoped Zhao Xing would fulfill his promise to take him to Ten Directions Mountain.

"Boom!"

In the third collision, Venerable Bamboo Sword fell into a disadvantage.

Although he was stronger than Wei Tianchen in combat power, the other party had more treasures.

After the third collision, the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop landed on Zhao Xing's head again.

Venerable Bamboo Sword snorted coldly and had to put his ribs back in their original place.

In the struggle for control over Zhao Xing, he still lost to Wei Tianchen.

Watching the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop fall again, Zhao Xing sighed helplessly.

He was trapped by this old guy again. Even in such a dangerous situation, he still couldn't forget Fan Qianrou's Heart-Sealing Dharma; he was truly persistent.

However, Zhao Xing didn't have much of a plan for this, as they were in Bone God Yuan's No-Tribulation Bone God Domain.

Separating from Wei Tianchen was not necessarily a good thing.

This old guy had many treasures; if he was by his side, his safety would be much higher.

"@#%" Wei Tianchen began to chant, testing if the Dao-Enlightenment Golden Hoop was still effective.

"Hiss—" Zhao Xing's flames jumped wildly, and his True Spirit felt a headache. "Old Imperial Physician, stop chanting, it was my fault just now."

Wei Tianchen turned a deaf ear, seemingly wanting to teach Zhao Xing a lesson.

"Damn it, Wei Tianchen, if you chant again, I'll self-destruct!"

Red Lotus flames ignited on Zhao Xing's body.

In just this short moment, he had actually adjusted, and his Bone Power now carried the characteristics of Red Lotus magic power.

"Since the Profound Yellow Realm has the great power of the god realm, it proves that this place is different from other barren regions. This place definitely has the conditions for resurrection!"

"I have made huge contributions to the Empire's two ancient paths. With my merits, do you think I have the right to resurrection?"

"If you push me too far, I'll self-destruct, and you'll never get Fan Qianrou's sealing object!"

These words made Wei Tianchen calm down, and he didn't take any further action.

"Zhao Xing, I said that as long as you give me her technique, I will let you go. You know what this means to me, so don't push me."

"I know, I know!" Zhao Xing said angrily: "Who cares about that broken technique? If it weren't for the divine power restriction—I would have taught it to you long ago."

Wei Tianchen said nothing more; he knew he couldn't push Zhao Xing too hard. But he was not so polite to Bamboo Sword.

"Bamboo Sword, this is the last warning. Zhao Xing is involved in my grand plan to become a god. If you dare to stop me again, you are blocking my Dao, and you will be my mortal enemy."

"You are a lone cultivator and have no chance of resurrection. Although your sword skills are superb, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill you if I'm willing to sacrifice a divine object."

Venerable Bamboo Sword did not respond, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But his first collision with Wei Tianchen ended with Wei Tianchen in an absolute dominant position.

Zhao Xing knew it was impossible to count on Bamboo Sword to free him for the time being. Fortunately, Wei Tianchen was still very useful at this time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

The Profound Yellow Realm was full of pitfalls; he didn't believe Wei Tianchen could walk through it unscathed. He would always find an opportunity!

"Let's go. I see you've both adapted well enough. Following the original plan, we continue to fly southeast." Wei Tianchen urged the two to move.

In the dark night, starlight fell on the mountains. Next, the three did not fly anymore, because after the skeletal transformation, they had arrived at a place with signs of life.

Vegetation appeared on the barren mountains; although it was withered, it at least proved that life had once existed.

Crossing a ridge, the swamp was filled with thick fog, emitting a corrosive odor. Giant withered bones looked like some prehistoric creatures, and roaring sounds seemed to come from far away.

The three skeletons crossed the toxic fog swamp in the night, and about three months later, they finally saw something different.

"Fire! There's firelight ahead!"

The three saw a pillar of fire rising into the sky. The fire pillar erupted regularly, clearly not a wildfire, but man-made.

When the three got closer and lay on a ridge to observe from afar, they discovered that it was actually a huge fire pond radiating over ten miles.

Around the fire pond were many skeletons of various colors and shapes, but none had the aura of a True Spirit spark.

Zhao Xing vaguely felt that this fire pond had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Venerable Bamboo Sword also seemed to feel something unusual; the True Spirit spark in his cranium was clearly becoming active.

"There seems to be someone ahead." A copper mirror appeared in Wei Tianchen's hand bone, reflecting the area around the fire pond.

Around the fire pond was a fire-red giant skeleton about sixteen or seventeen meters tall. Its head and limb bones were embedded with red diamonds, like the sun, inlaid on the bone body.

"He should also be a cultivator who has undergone some kind of transformation." Wei Tianchen speculated: "However, his strength is not strong,"

"about the level of a Six-Tribulation True Spirit."

"Then let's go over directly and take him down?" Zhao Xing suggested.

"Go directly." Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword both agreed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the three skeletons immediately ran over.

The red skeleton giant squatted by the fire pond, seemingly enjoying the warmth of the fire pond.

When Zhao Xing and the others arrived, the other party was neither panicked nor did he run away.

Instead, he spoke to the rear in a very familiar tone: "You've come too late. I've already killed all the people of the Yanfang tribe. If you do this again, I will report it to the God Venerable."

"You guys can handle the looting of the 【Soul Crystals】. I don't know how many more we need to leave this ghost place. How are these third-rank Soul Crystals enough... Wait, who are you?"
