207: Chapter 206 The Cursed Skeleton

He stepped onto the stairs.

He entered the cabin area.

In the dark corridor, the wooden door that had originally been violently destroyed had been rebuilt.

Ye Xiu had no intention of searching it again and walked straight through the passage, returning to the deck of the Ancient Ship.

He looked at the layers of the Dead Realm below.

A slight sigh escaped his heart.

"This Land of No Law is truly too mysterious. Even for me, if I hadn't found an Opportunity, I'm afraid I would have been trapped here until death."

Amidst his sighing,

Ye Xiu calmed his emotions once more.

This wasn't the worst-case scenario yet; after all, this Ancient Ship before him would surely lead him out of the Land of No Law.

As for whether it was heading to The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea or some other mysterious, ghostly place,

that would depend on the will of heaven.

Whoosh...

A slight cold wind blew through the Land of No Law.

The overlapping layers of the Dead Realm were like ocean waves, instantly stirring up significant ripples.

"A north wind?"

Ye Xiu looked toward the north in confusion.

Heading north all the way was the hint given by the Eastern Emperor; combined with the intelligence he obtained from the Ominous Malice, it was actually quite accurate.

Unfortunately...

In this Land of No Law,

where is north?

What he saw might not necessarily be the truth.

He jumped onto the sail.

Ye Xiu sat cross-legged, waiting for the Ancient Ship to reach its destination while quietly gaining insights into his Cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Law.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Sutra had no subsequent Cultivation Technique, his own Heaven and Earth Law could be improved again. Though Cultivating it in isolation would cause his balance to waver,

he could still manage to suppress it for a short time.

As long as the Heaven and Earth Law didn't make a Breakthrough first, the problem wouldn't be too large.

Cultivation knows no time.

After the Ancient Ship had driven through the Land of No Law for an unknown number of years, it finally deviated from its course and entered a Dead Realm with extremely harsh weather.

There was no light here, only an endless expanse of darkness.

Lightning, the Five Elements—any basic element no longer existed.

If not for the support of the Domain Origin, these Dead Realms would likely have completely shattered and dissolved into this Land of No Law long ago.

"Eh, it stopped?"

Ye Xiu opened his eyes atop the sail.

Looking at the boundless darkness of this place, he felt a slight confusion in his heart.

He only needed to look up to see the overlapping Dead Realms of the Land of No Law.

Clearly, this Dead Realm was not The Other Shore of the Boundary Sea.

But why did the Ancient Ship stop here?

With various doubts,

Ye Xiu jumped down from the Ancient Ship. His perception instantly enveloped the entire Dead Realm; in a mere breath, there was no area in this Dead Realm that could be hidden from him.

"A cemetery? Who is buried here?"

He took a step forward.

He arrived directly in front of a cemetery ten thousand meters high.

"Dream Chaser, Nameless Tomb, Carved by a Passerby."

On the massive tombstone, there were only these simple words; aside from that, there was no useful information.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

The Ancient Ship stopping here definitely had a reason.

Rise!

With a soft shout,

the entire cemetery crumbled, revealing a massive coffin beneath the mound of earth.

A Bronze Coffin, carved with nine Dragons.

Open!

Ye Xiu did not hesitate; he directly used his power to force the Bronze Coffin open.

The moment the remains were exposed,

a terrifying power of curse instantly flooded the entire Domain.

Being at the forefront, Ye Xiu's face was instantly covered in black Qi, entangled by the curse.

"Damn, what's the situation?"

Ye Xiu's power surged, directly dispelling the curse that had entered his body. With a hint of gravity, he walked to the front of the coffin.

It was a set of remains that had turned into a skeleton!

It was crystal clear, with a divine light that illuminated the world, yet it was filled with black cursed Qi. Clearly, these remains had been killed by the power of a curse during life.

Great power covered his body.

Ye Xiu wanted to take the skeleton out of the coffin.

But as his hands touched the skeleton's body, that terrifying curse power erupted instantly, bypassing the barrier of his great power and directly dyeing his entire body black.

The black cursed Qi continued to extend.

After covering Ye Xiu's entire body, it then rushed into his Sea of Consciousness.

But a strange scene occurred.

The curse, which was originally able to ignore his great power, was actually ignited directly under the operation of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra ancient runes.

The flames spread.

Not only was Ye Xiu's entire body covered in black fire, but this cursed Domain also transformed into a world of black fire.

Looking at the still crystal-clear skeleton in his hand, the curse at the center of its brow was the source of everything; it had not been ignited by the black fire.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

"What exactly is the deal with this curse?"

With some doubt, he did not put the skeleton down but instead carried it directly toward the direction of the Ancient Ship.

He took a step forward.

He had already returned to the Ancient Ship.

Thump...

The interior of the Ancient Ship vibrated.

The moment the skeleton boarded the ship, it was as if a terrifying monster had awakened; amidst thumping sounds, it walked toward the direction of the deck.

"Damn it, what the hell?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat speechless. He didn't put down the skeleton but crossed the Dead Realm and went directly into the Land of No Law.

But the scene that followed made him even more speechless.

Roar...

On the Ancient Ship,

dozens of Red-Haired Monsters rushed out, among which there was no lack of those large Red-Haired Monsters.

After leaving the Ancient Ship, they immediately entered the Land of No Law and chased after Ye Xiu to kill him.

"Damn it, what's with this skeleton? Is it that important?"

The Heavenly Emperor Fist erupted.

The fist light vibrated through countless Dead Realms. Most of the Red-Haired Monsters charging forward were covered by the fist light and directly beaten into a bloody mist.

But this kind of attack for Red-Haired Monsters,

wasn't of much use.

After blasting out a Heavenly Emperor Fist, Ye Xiu did not engage in a frontal battle with the Red-Haired Monsters but instead fled at high speed around the area of the Ancient Ship.

"Could this thing be the remains that the Eastern Emperor wanted?"

A suspicion arose in his heart.

After all, a curse like this was no joke.

If not for the Heavenly Emperor Sutra ancient runes, even he might have fallen victim to it.

Feeling the brilliant divine light on the skeleton's body, Ye Xiu did not discard it. Even as the Red-Haired Monsters surrounded him for the kill, he still gripped the skeleton tightly in his hand.

Roar...

The Red-Haired Monsters were furious.

They seemed to have a natural reaction to the curse on the skeleton.

Even though they lacked rationality, they still relied on instinct to chase after the skeleton remains that carried the source of the curse.
