725: Mysterious corpse, gray bones
After descending a thousand meters.
Xie Weilou and the Longevity Saintess arrived at the bottom of the lake, where a pitch-black plaza appeared before them.
Upon the plaza lay an ancient and mysterious skeleton.
The skeleton was snow-white, covered in dense runes, glowing with the radiance of the Great Dao, and imperishable through the ages.
A terrifying aura emanated from the skeleton, sealing off the entire plaza and making people dare not approach easily.
“…”
Xie Weilou and the Longevity Saintess stood thirty meters from the plaza, staring at the ancient skeleton on it, their eyes filled with apprehension.
The aura of this skeleton was extremely terrifying, definitely surpassing the Creation Realm, causing them an inexplicable sense of suppression and dread.
This was likely the remains of an ancient powerful being.
“There seems to be something in the skeleton’s hand…”
The Longevity Saintess looked at the skeleton’s hand.
The skeleton held a peculiar gray bone.
This bone was incredibly ancient, covered in profound runes, imbued with the Great Dao, flickering with an eerie light, mysterious and unfathomable, and also exuding an immensely terrifying aura.
That aura was somewhat similar to the malevolent energy on an Evil Spirit, but it was more advanced and extraordinary than an Evil Spirit's, as if it was some incredible power of the Great Dao.
Xie Weilou looked at the Longevity Saintess: “Holy Maiden, what’s in the skeleton’s hand is a peerless treasure bone. You go and retrieve it!”
“Do you take me for a fool?”
The Longevity Saintess said expressionlessly: “The aura of this skeleton is so terrifying that with our cultivation, even if we use a supreme treasure, it would be difficult to get close.”
Not to mention approaching the skeleton, they couldn't even step onto the plaza.
This skeleton was too terrifying; if they stepped onto the plaza, they would definitely be crushed to dust by the opponent's pressure.
No one knew if stepping onto the plaza would cause the skeleton to revive, and if it did, they would certainly face a dead end.
Xie Weilou said: “Try with that blood-colored eyeball of yours…”
The Longevity Saintess said indifferently: “I can’t try. That eyeball is not under my control! If you’re interested in that bone, why don’t you try?”
“Are you sure you won’t try?”
Xie Weilou’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Longevity Saintess said: “I’ll leave it to you!”
Still asking her to try?
If she really snatched that treasure bone, with this guy's temper, he would definitely try to seize it, and she wasn't confident she could even snatch the treasure bone in the first place.
Xie Weilou looked at the Longevity Saintess: “Then when I snatch that treasure bone later, you better not compete for it.”
“Don’t worry!”
The Longevity Saintess retreated three steps, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Next, if any special situation occurred, she would definitely flee first.
Seeing the Longevity Saintess so wary, Xie Weilou sneered: “Cowardly as a mouse! Should I call you Little Mouse or Mousy from now on?”
The Longevity Saintess: “…”
She finally understood; this guy held grudges deeply.
He had been dwelling on her calling him 'cowardly as a mouse' earlier, and now he was returning the favor.
Xie Weilou shook his head: “People like the Holy Maiden are too timid; when a truly great opportunity arises, even if given the chance, you won’t be able to grasp it.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll watch how you grasp the opportunity here.”
The Longevity Saintess brought out a strange bronze lamp, and a flash of bronze light enveloped her body, protecting her.
“Holy Maiden, watch closely!”
Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and the bronze bracelet transformed into a streak of light, instantly flying towards the plaza.
The bronze bracelet ignored the pressure of the skeleton's power and directly arrived above the skeleton.
“This bronze bracelet…”
Seeing the bronze bracelet, which could directly penetrate the skeleton's power blockade, the Longevity Saintess’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
This thing was not simple!
“Take this entire skeleton as well.”
A dark light flashed in Xie Weilou’s eyes.
This skeleton was so extraordinary; it might as well be collected too.
Later, if he disliked someone, he could throw it out to smash them, or if he disliked a certain force, throwing out the skeleton would surely wield peerless divine power.
He had been quite tempted when he saw the skeleton treasure refined by Xu Renfeng before, and he also wanted to refine a similar treasure.
It might be a bit sinister, but its power would certainly not be weak.
Hearing this, the Longevity Saintess quickly said: “Xie Wushi, don’t mess around.”
This guy was crazy; he was actually coveting this skeleton.
“Hesitating and being timid will prevent one from accomplishing great things.”
Xie Weilou said indifferently.
However, he subconsciously took a step back, moving behind the Longevity Saintess; in critical moments, he still had to protect her.
“You…”
The Longevity Saintess’s mouth twitched; she had never seen such a shameless person.
Buzz!
The bronze bracelet erupted with a suppressing force, bronze light flickering, enveloping the skeleton, attempting to suppress it.
Boom!
The skeleton's pressure instantly erupted, trying to resist.
The bronze bracelet rapidly expanded, and a wisp of curse power emerged, directly injecting into the skeleton.
The skeleton was affected; dense bronze runes appeared on its bones, and its pressure was instantly suppressed.
Buzz!
The bronze bracelet restrained the skeleton, pulling it towards Xie Weilou.
“…”
Seeing this, the Longevity Saintess immediately retreated thirty meters.
Xie Weilou stood still; although the skeleton's pressure was suppressed, he still felt an inexplicable dread.
An ordinary storage ring might not be able to contain this skeleton.
Perhaps it could be put into the emperor talisman… Xie Weilou looked at the gray treasure bone in the skeleton's hand; this thing was extremely extraordinary, perhaps hiding some great fortune.
Buzz!
At this moment, the blood-colored eyeball on the Longevity Saintess instantly flew out.
Blood light flickered, and a wave of pressure erupted, sealing Xie Weilou while also enveloping the gray treasure bone, seemingly wanting to snatch it.
Seeing this, Xie Weilou slowly turned around, his eyes coldly staring at the eyeball: “I didn’t target you before because I didn’t want trouble. If you don’t know what’s good for you, then I won’t be polite.”
Saying that, he took a step directly towards the blood-colored eyeball, with the Book of Heaven and the heaven suppressing stele ready to be summoned at any moment.
This blood-colored eyeball must be related to the terrifying entity that acted on Guangyin Ridge before; otherwise, why would the Longevity Saintess be brought to Guangyin Ridge?
The Book of Heaven could deter that terrifying entity, so it should also be able to deter this eyeball.
Buzz!
The blood-colored eyeball seemed to sense danger, its imposing aura instantly retracted, and it flew back into the Longevity Saintess’s storage ring.
“Hmph! You know what’s good for you.”
Xie Weilou snorted coldly, stopping his steps.
Guangyin Ridge was a Forbidden Zone, and he naturally didn't want to provoke the unknown entities within it, but if he were truly angered, he wouldn't care so much.
“…”
The Longevity Saintess stared blankly at Xie Weilou.
This guy actually threatened this eyeball? And made it back down?
In her opinion, this eyeball was extremely sinister, even taboo, and was connected to Guangyin Ridge, one of the Nine Great Forbidden Zones; she had no control over it at all.
She never expected Xie Weilou could threaten it and make it back down, which was just absurd.
What did this guy have that allowed him to do that?
At this moment, the Longevity Saintess’s apprehension towards Xie Weilou deepened; this guy was extremely bizarre and not simple at all!
