Creak!

Creak!

In the empty underground space, the sound of bones rubbing echoed continuously.

The atmosphere was incredibly eerie and chilling.

Wang Chen quietly followed in the shadows of two Skeleton Warriors, advancing with them.

As he walked, he felt a chill.

The deathly aura in this underground space was even denser than on the surface.

If the surface was like the depths of winter, then this underground area was like a cold storage unit that spared no electricity.

It was bone-chillingly cold.

“Damn it!”

“What is the Mosiliwake Family thinking, building such a large underground facility with nothing but these skeletons?”

At this moment, Wang Chen dared not stir his magic power to dispel the cold, so he could only endure it silently while observing his surroundings and constantly pondering.

Since entering the underground space through the gap (crack), he had followed the Skeleton Warriors for over a hundred meters, but all he saw were skeletons; there was absolutely nothing else.

Logically speaking, such a large underground space would either be used for storing supplies or for refuge.

At the very least, there should be corresponding storage or various survival facilities here.

However, Wang Chen found nothing of the sort.

This made him suspect the Mosiliwake Family's true intention in building this underground space.

Could it be a plaza for their Family members to stroll after meals?

Soon, as he followed the Skeleton Warriors to the center of this underground space, his suspicions were answered.

On the white jade paved ground stood an altar covering an area of fifty meters in diameter.

The altar's surface was carved with complex and sinister magical patterns, permeated with an eerie red, as if soaked in fresh blood.

No, these magical patterns were indeed stained red by blood, day after day.

As soon as he arrived, Wang Chen smelled an extremely strong scent of blood.

It was pungent, filled with the smell of decay.

Gurgle, gurgle!

On the altar was a shallow pit about one meter deep, filled with red liquid, constantly bubbling with blood-scented bubbles.

And above the center of this liquid, an oddly shaped longsword floated silently.

It continuously absorbed the wisps of blood-red aura released after the bubbles below burst.

“Is this…?”

The moment Wang Chen saw the longsword, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The longsword emitted an extremely powerful and ferocious aura; even just floating there motionlessly, the immense pressure it exuded made one's heart pound.

“This is the Divine Artifact inherited by the Mosiliwake Family from the North Wind God?”

“It’s actually here?!”

Looking at the longsword, Wang Chen pursed his lips, his eyes filled with excitement.

The aura emanating from this longsword was stronger than any equipment he had ever seen.

Moreover, this power was not merely reflected in strength, but also in a fundamental level of power.

It was like the first time he witnessed the battle between Marshal Yang and the Blood Clan Prince on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

The aura emanating from a King-Rank Awakener made his Bloodline tremble.

That was the natural suppression of a higher life Rank over a lower Rank.

With just this one glance, Wang Chen confirmed that the sword before him was exactly what he was looking for this time.

“It seems my luck has been getting better and better recently.”

“A Sun-Rank equipment could more than double my strength.”

Thinking excitedly, Wang Chen quietly emerged from the shadows behind the Skeleton Warriors, approaching the altar step by step.

Since he had seen such a good item, he absolutely couldn't let it go.

Splat!

However, as soon as he approached the altar, his lightly placed foot was suddenly struck by a blood-colored lightning bolt.

The power of this blood-colored lightning was not great, only equivalent to an attack from a 5th Rank Awakener.

For the current Wang Chen, he didn't even need much movement; just the Celestial Metal Body passive skill constantly active on him was enough to ignore such an attack.

However, this strike caused his figure to emerge from stealth.

In an instant, the Skeleton Warriors guarding the altar all locked their hollow eye sockets onto him, the uninvited guest.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!”

Hoarse roars erupted, and the Skeleton Warriors' hollow eye sockets burned with raging Soul flames.

“Damn it!”

“I was too excited and forgot; how could there be no defensive mechanism around such a treasure?”

Wang Chen cursed himself for being careless, but he didn't panic, instead waving his hand to retrieve his weapon.

Anyway, the Purple-Gold Skeleton King had already been lured away, and none of the undead in the underground space now were a match for him.

…

…

Outside, above the Coldwind City region.

“Damn Dragon!”

“If you have the guts, stand still and don't run!”

The Purple-Gold Skeleton King continuously roared in exasperation, the deathly aura enveloping him becoming even more terrifying.

Wherever his flight path went, dark clouds surged and cold winds howled, as if he were a demon god.

And in front of him, a sapphire-blue figure flew at extreme speed, letting the Purple-Gold Skeleton King rage, yet he could only helplessly eat dust behind her.

“Big pile of bones, you fly so slow yourself, how dare you ask us to stop and wait for you? Have you no shame?!”

Ice Purity flew frantically, and Mu Ling, perched on her head, turned to look at the Purple-Gold Skeleton King behind them, taunting loudly:

“Look at how leaky you are; if you keep chasing, I think your Soul will be blown away. Just give up honestly, you won't catch us!”

The little one's words were sharp at this moment, her tone utterly mocking.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!!”

“Damn guys, don't let me catch you, or I'll make you die a miserable death!”

The Purple-Gold Skeleton King became even more enraged, his burning Soul flames even bursting from his skull, making his aura even more violent.

“Nyah nyah nyah!”

“Big pile of bones only talks big; if you have the guts, come over here!”

Ice Purity took a breath and shouted back at the Purple-Gold Skeleton King without politeness.

“You two cowards…”

The Purple-Gold Skeleton King was almost angered back to life, the Dark blue (ethereal blue) Soul flames within his skull even showing signs of turning black.
