Chapter 1533: Immortal Skeleton Revival
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This aura dyed the sky in the outside world black, causing the original darkness to become even deeper and completely pitch-black.
The rain was also affected, forming a resonance.
As far as the eye could see, all the raindrops in the entire Rain World seemed to have gained life at this instant and submitted in the direction of the immortal skeleton.
The tombs also rumbled and collapsed one after another. Countless corpses crawled out. When they were alive, they fought as warriors. After they died, they had been waiting for their master.
At this moment, it was as though their master had returned and summoned
them.
Hence, they returned.
Waves of roars rang out in the world.
The source of all this was the immortal skeleton that was awakening in the underground chamber.
All the Dao marks floating in the surroundings emitted joy at this moment and headed straight for the immortal skeleton from all directions. There was no obstruction and they didn’t stop at all. The moment they touched the immortal skeleton, they fused into it.
As the authorities returned and the dao marks appeared, the intent of revival became even more intense.
The color of the world changed. As wind and clouds surged, all the inheritance marks also flowed into the sea and headed straight for the immortal skeleton.
As they returned one by one, the Great Emperor treasures also began to sway.
As clanking sounds echoed, the artifact spirits of these supreme treasures finally woke up from their slumber. The moment they woke up, they sensed their master’s aura and gathered together.
Hence, armor appeared on the immortal skeleton’s body, a spear appeared on its right hand, and the left hand… was empty.
A compass appeared under its feet, and the sun, moon, and stars appeared above its head. There were also several rings on its back that surrounded it layer by layer.
Its aura was filled with majesty.
The expressions of the various Rulers in the underground chamber changed drastically. They were shocked and the horror on their faces was incomparably intense.
As cultivators of the Demon Feather Holy Land, they were aware of the Great Emperor Nether Flame’s terror. They had also experienced the era when they were suppressed by him a thousand years ago.
It could even be said that many of them had personally witnessed the rise of Nether Flame.
They also understood the cruelty of the Great Emperor Nether Flame and revered him as if he were a god.
It was only after repeatedly confirming the death of the Great Emperor Nether Flame, and with the passage of these years, combined with a solemn promise made by someone, that they gathered the courage to undertake this journey.
And the reason they still decided to come, despite being so cautious, was because of their greed.
Due to the mysteriousness of Great Emperor Nether Flame, there were many rumors about him outside.
It was said that he joined a supreme organization within this starry sky, receiving cultivation and resources from them.
There were also people who said that he had obtained an inheritance that surpassed the Summer Immortal’s foundation.
Some even said that noble blood flowed in his body.
Some even said that he hid an extraordinary technique that allowed him to break through his shackles!
All of this was what made Nether Flame reach the peak of the Great Emperor Realm years ago. He was only at the Soul Accumulation Realm before he disappeared.
No matter what, it was widely agreed that the dramatic rise and fall he experienced were interconnected through a cause-and-effect relationship.
Therefore, for the various Rulers of the Demon Feather Holy Land, uncovering this secret and seizing this opportunity would be crucial to breaking through the shackles of their cultivation.
Even if there were similar extremes of rise and fall, the path of cultivation was no longer solely about seeking immortality. Instead, reaching the pinnacle had become the ultimate goal, leaving no regrets in life.
However, the most dangerous probability still appeared before them.
Nether Flame wasn’t dead!
At that moment, as the inheritances, authorities, and supreme treasures returned and Nether Flame’s aura rose, the entire chamber rumbled.
They wanted to escape, but under the cold gaze of the immortal skeleton, their Dao marks trembled. Their bodies were bound and their souls dimmed, losing the ability to escape.
As for Xu Qing and Erniu, the feeling was even more intense.
They weren’t Rulers. Facing this aura, their hearts churned incomparably intensely. Fortunately, they hadn’t stepped into the chamber and didn’t face the pressure directly, so they could still barely hold on.
Previously, as the shield supreme treasure was taken away, the worm formed by Erniu’s body also weakly returned and fused with his head, forming a young boy’s body.
Hence, at this moment, he had the body of a boy and the head of an adult, looking strange.
As for his expression, it was one of madness.
This was because under this aura, not only did they have to resist the pressure with all their might, but the shield-like Great Emperor treasure they had just obtained was also awakening, as though it was about to be summoned back.
Xu Qing wasn’t willing to return the treasure they had paid such a huge price for…
“I sacrificed my body to obtain it, and you want to take it away just like that?”
In a moment of desperation, with bloodshot eyes, Erniu opened his mouth wide and swallowed the shield he was tightly gripping.
At the next instant, his stomach swelled up as though it was about to explode.
However, Erniu persisted with all his might, looking like he wouldn’t give it away even if he died.
Three breaths later, his stomach tore open. The shield was about to break through and rush out.
Xu Qing immediately took out a needle.
That was the Great Emperor’s needle he had obtained from Transient Evil back
then.
He immediately sutured Erniu’s stomach.
With the needle stitching up the karma, Erniu’s ripped stomach was finally stitched up.
At the same time, Xu Qing took out the Great Emperor’s scissors and ruthlessly cut the karma.
He was trying to cut off the connection between this shield supreme treasure and the immortal skeleton.
However, the effect wasn’t perfect.
The connection was still there and Erniu’s stitched belly showed signs of ripping open again…
At this moment, the large head behind them suddenly opened its mouth and sucked gently.
Under this suction, a suction force erupted, landing on Xu Qing and Erniu.
The two of them trembled. With the help of this force, they finally managed to suppress the awakening force on the shield supreme treasure in Erniu’s stomach to a certain extent.
The various Rulers in the chamber didn’t notice this scene. They didn’t have the energy to pay attention to other things when facing the immortal skeleton.
However, the immortal skeleton sensed it.
Hence, when he opened his eyes, his gray eyes moved and his gaze landed on the stone gate where Xu Qing and Erniu were. He only took a glance before retracting his gaze. When he looked at the various Rulers again…
He opened his mouth and exhaled deeply.
After that, the sound of a heartbeat suddenly rang out from his chest.
Thump, thump.
This sound contained astonishing might, like a heavy hammer smashing into one’s mind.
Xu Qing and Erniu spat out blood, feeling as though their ears were ringing and their souls were trembling. They staggered backward, weakened. Meanwhile, within the chamber, the various Rulers bore the brunt of the impact, their hearts shaken, and blood spilled from each of them.
They struggled with all their might.
The youth’s body was torn apart, and he was trying to escape with his soul.
At the scholar’s side, the Dao marks shone as he tried to flip the pages.
The woman in palace clothes and the old man also used their trump cards, disregarding the cost.
The Fifth Ruler, who had transformed into Lin Kun, had a bitter expression. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say a word to his master’s immortal skeleton.
All their attempts to escape were completely useless in front of the immortal skeleton.
All of the attempts failed.
If it were anywhere else, things might have been different, but the underground chamber was the territory of the immortal skeleton.
Absolute strength and the absolute difference in status caused everyone to lose their luster.
As for him, he didn’t seem to be in a hurry. His gaze swept past them one by one and finally landed on the Fifth Ruler.
After a while, his right hand slowly lifted amidst the despair of everyone.
Black flames suddenly spread out from under him, burning the altar and the surroundings. After it completely spread to the ground of the underground chamber, it formed a black fire lotus!
The appearance of this black fire lotus increased the danger here by countless times. At the same time, the same lotus flower instantly appeared on the bodies of the Rulers and bloomed.
Amidst the rumbling, the cultivators who were bound there could only let out mournful cries.
Their screams filled the entire chamber.
Just as everyone was about to turn into ashes, one of the two stone gates that hadn’t been opened suddenly opened.
Streaks of black iron chains rushed in. Black flames burned on them, as though they came from the same source as the fire lotus.
The speed of these iron chains was astonishing. They ignored the power of the fire lotus and headed straight for the immortal skeleton.
They also seemed to contain some kind of causal law, instantly entangling the immortal skeleton. The instant they bound the skeleton, they started burning.
The appearance of the iron chains was extremely abrupt. The moment they coiled around the skeleton, the black fire lotuses here also showed signs of being suppressed.
The various Rulers took the opportunity to unleash their own methods and escape.
At the same time, a black figure stepped into the chamber.
It was none other than the black-robed man.
After he appeared, he crossed a vast distance and appeared beside the immortal skeleton in a single step. He raised his right hand and grabbed fiercely, snatching the black crystal formed by the life soul of the Demon Feather Great Emperor from the immortal skeleton.
The black-robed man was not happy at obtaining it so smoothly; instead, his expression turned gloomy as he suddenly retreated.
As for the various Rulers, they were trying to escape.
However, the instant they retreated, a hoarse voice slowly rang out from the mouth of the bound immortal skeleton.
“Seal.”
As soon as the word rang out, the fire lotuses in the underground palace suddenly rotated, forming a shocking suction force.
At this moment, creaking sounds rang out from all the open gates in the surroundings, and they instantly closed.
They stopped them from leaving.
Xu Qing and Erniu found themselves unable to evade the pull. Their bodies were dragged into the underground chamber by the suction force, and behind them, the stone gate slammed shut with a loud bang.
As their expressions changed, the appearance of the entire underground chamber also changed drastically.
The dome above disappeared, replaced by a wrinkled surface. The walls on all sides also transformed into wrinkles, and the ground of the chamber began to rumble and collapsed directly.
It revealed a cave.
There was another world under the cave.
A transparent sea could be seen, accompanied by a crimson glow. Floating above the sea appeared to be a massive, embryo-like flesh sphere!
Inside the flesh sphere, a terrifying figure could be faintly seen sitting cross-legged!
Before they could see clearly, a blood-red vortex blocked their view, appearing between the underground chamber and the world below, spinning with a thunderous roar.
A blood-red hand covered with crimson tentacles suddenly extended from the vortex.
An aura that was even more astonishing than the immortal skeleton’s erupted from this arm and grabbed at the black-robed man..
