229: Chapter 229 Sudden Change, Beast of Bones

The remains of an Azure Dragon Shark, as massive as a mountain range, lay across the center of the True Dragon Forbidden Land.

The cyan-gold bones emitted a heart-palpitating residual prestige.

Ji Luanxi was filled with curiosity.

She stepped forward with her slender legs.

She reached out with her fair, jade-like hand.

She gently touched a section of the massive skull.

“These are the remains of an Immortal King.”

Ji Luanxi whispered softly.

Before her voice could fade, a sudden change occurred.

The originally indestructible remains of the Azure Dragon Shark actually emitted a faint, crisp crack the moment they came into contact with her fingertips.

Immediately following that,

The massive skeleton seemed to lose all support.

It collapsed inch by inch,

Turning into a sky full of grayish-white ash.

The ash drifted in mid-air and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Ji Luanxi stood frozen in place.

She looked at her empty hands, her beautiful face filled with astonishment.

“How could this happen?”

Ji Luanxi exclaimed.

Su Xuanchen stood to the side with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the ash dissipating in the wind, his expression indifferent.

“Even a high and mighty Immortal King will eventually return to dust and earth before the passage of time.”

Su Xuanchen's tone was calm.

He shook his head slightly, letting out a sigh of emotion.

Chang Xiyue stepped forward.

A deep gravity showed in her cold eyes.

“Husband, things are not that simple.”

Chang Xiyue looked at the place where the remains had disappeared.

“This Azure Dragon Shark was an Immortal King expert when it was alive; its Physical Body should have been myriad calamities indestructible.”

She paused for a moment.

“To be able to counter-kill an Immortal King Realm Azure Dragon Shark, and even drain its essence blood dry, completely obliterating even the Immortal Divinity within its bones...”

Chang Xiyue took a deep breath.

“The strength of that True Dragon back then definitely surpassed the Immortal King Realm.”

“Perhaps, it had already touched the legendary supreme Realm.”

Hearing this speculation, the indifference on Su Xuanchen's face retracted slightly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

A sense of urgency uncontrollably arose in his heart.

Surpassing the Immortal King.

the supreme Realm.

A forbidden land left behind by such an existence would definitely contain unimaginable dangers.

At that moment,

The surrounding environment underwent a drastic change without any warning.

“Wooo—”

An extremely chilly wind howled from the depths of the forbidden land.

The temperature plummeted.

A layer of pale white frost condensed on the ground.

A thick gray mist appeared out of thin air.

The mist churned and surged, spreading outward at an incredibly terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the surrounding space.

Vision was severely obstructed.

Even when Divine Sense was projected, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to penetrate this strange gray mist at all.

Su Xuanchen instantly sensed the anomaly.

He did not hesitate in the slightest.

He took a step forward.

His tall and straight figure directly blocked the front of Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue.

“Careful!”

Su Xuanchen barked in a low voice.

Just as his voice fell,

The gray mist in front churned violently.

“Screech!”

A piercing sound of breaking air rang out.

An incredibly massive, bone-white claw suddenly tore through the thick mist.

The claw was entwined with dense Death Qi.

Carrying a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth, it slammed down fiercely toward the three of them.

The violent wind pressure caused the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch.

Su Xuanchen gave a cold snort.

He abruptly raised his right arm.

His fingers clenched into a fist.

The blood and Qi within his body erupted with a boom.

Without any fancy Move, he directly met that massive claw with a punch.

“Boom!”

The fist and the claw collided fiercely in mid-air.

A deafening, earth-shaking explosion erupted.

A terrifying shockwave of energy swept out frantically in all directions.

Su Xuanchen's body jolted.

He only felt an overwhelming force surge wildly through his arm.

Although his Physical Body was powerful and suffered no damage,

That pure impact force still sent him flying backward.

His feet plowed two deep furrows into the hard dragon-blood rock.

He retreated nearly a hundred meters before he could barely stabilize himself.

“Husband!”

“Husband, are you alright!”

Seeing this, Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue turned pale with fright.

The two women hurriedly flew forward.

They supported Su Xuanchen's arms from both sides.

Their beautiful faces were written with concern and anxiety.

“I'm fine.”

Su Xuanchen shook his slightly numb wrist.

He protected the two women behind him.

His gaze was fixed intently on the churning gray mist ahead.

The three of them held their breath.

With Divine Power circulating throughout their bodies, they were alert to the extreme.

“Roar—!”

A dull rumbling sound mixed with a shrill howl came from the depths of the mist.

The sound was filled with endless resentment and tyranny.

Immediately following that,

A massive shadow slowly emerged within the mist.

An incredibly large Vicious Beast poked its body out.

The size of this Vicious Beast was comparable to a mountain.

Its head was battered and broken, with half of it missing.

There was not a trace of flesh on its body, leaving only a bone-white skeleton.

The skeleton was covered in crisscrossing cracks.

An extremely dense Death Qi churned around its body.

This was clearly a Primordial Vicious Beast that had fallen countless ages ago.

Because its Soul had not dissipated, it had degenerated into a spectral monster that knew only slaughter within this True Dragon Forbidden Land.

Within the Vicious Beast's hollow eye sockets, two clumps of ghastly green ghost fire flickered.

It stared fixedly at Su Xuanchen's group of three.

“Roar!”

The Vicious Beast let out another roar.

It raised its massive bone claw.

It slammed it down toward the ground.

“Bang!”

A giant rock weighing hundreds of thousands of catties was smashed to pieces by its claw.

Debris flew in all directions.

The Vicious Beast strode forward with its massive bone legs.

Carrying a sky-toppling Death Qi, it launched another violent attack toward the three of them.

“Get back.”

Su Xuanchen shouted in a low voice.

He let go of the two women's hands.

His tall and straight body advanced instead of retreating.

With one step, he charged toward that massive Bone Vicious Beast.

“Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body!”

Su Xuanchen roared in his heart.

Boom!

A terrifying Devilish Qi, black as ink, soared into the sky from within his body.

The Devilish Qi intertwined with his own golden light,

Turning into an indestructible layer of Protective Aura.

His entire being was like a supreme demon god crossing over from primordial times.

He emitted a terrifying pressure that suppressed all eternity.

Su Xuanchen's legs exerted a sudden force.

The dragon-blood rock beneath his feet instantly collapsed.

He leaped up,

Directly charging into mid-air.

Facing the massive bone claw the Vicious Beast was slamming down, he threw a punch without any bells and whistles.

This punch contained the extreme power of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body.

The wind from the punch howled, even forcibly tearing apart the surrounding gray mist.

“Rumble!”

Fist and claw met once again.

This time, an even more terrifying explosion than before erupted.

The violent power surged through the bone claw directly into the Vicious Beast's body.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

That incredibly massive, bone-white claw actually had several deep cracks punched into it by Su Xuanchen's fist.

The massive Bone Vicious Beast let out a shrill scream.

Its mountain-like body was directly flipped over by this terrifying punch force.

It retreated dozens of steps,

Crashing heavily onto the ground and crushing a large area of rock.

Behind him, Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue saw this scene.

Both women simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air.

Their beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

“Husband's Physical Body strength has actually reached such a terrifying level!”

Ji Luanxi's red lips were slightly agape.

“To even be able to blow back an ancient spectral Vicious Beast of this level with a single punch in a head-on collision!”

Chang Xiyue was also deeply shaken.

She knew very well how terrifying the Death Qi of that Vicious Beast was.

But Su Xuanchen had completely ignored the erosion of that Death Qi.

The Bone Vicious Beast struggled to crawl up from the ground.

It was completely enraged by Su Xuanchen's punch.

As a top-tier existence that once ran rampant through the primordial era,

Even if it only had a wisp of a fallen Soul left now,

It could not tolerate being knocked back by a tiny human's punch.

This was a great humiliation.

“Roar—!”

The Vicious Beast looked up and let out a furious roar.

Its massive body suddenly began to twist violently.

Accompanied by a piercing sound of bones grinding,

That mountain-like bone body rapidly shrank.

In the blink of an eye,

It actually transformed into a humanoid skeleton about two meters tall.

The skeleton's bones were a strange grayish-black color.

Within its hollow eye sockets, those two clumps of ghastly green fire flickered even more intensely,

Exuding a hair-raisingly evil aura.

“Jie jie jie...”

A series of extremely piercing, strange laughs came from between the skeleton's upper and lower jawbones.

It actually spoke human words.

“How many years has it been.”

The skeleton's tone was eerie, carrying endless vicissitudes and greed.

“This seat has waited for tens of thousands of years in this dark, sunless forbidden land!”

It slowly raised its grayish-black bone hand.

The finger bones rubbed against each other, making a tooth-aching sound.

The skeleton's eye sockets, flickering with green fire, directly ignored Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue behind.

They were locked dead onto Su Xuanchen's body.

Within that gaze was an undisguised, extreme greed.

“What a perfect Physical Body!”

The skeleton's voice became sharp with excitement.

“Blood and Qi like a dragon, myriad calamities indestructible!”

“It's actually the legendary, once-in-an-eternity Immortal Demon Body!”

It walked step by step toward Su Xuanchen.

The Death Qi around it churned frantically.

“Heaven does not wish for my end!”

The skeleton laughed wildly toward the sky.

“As long as I seize your Physical Body as my new shell,”

“Not only will I see the light of day again, but I can even take a step further!”

It extended a bone finger, pointing straight at Su Xuanchen.

Its tone carried an unquestionable command.

“Human.”

“This Physical Body of yours, this seat wants it.”

Su Xuanchen stood in place.

He listened to the skeleton's boastful clamoring.

Not only was there no fear,

But a smear of extremely disdainful cold laughter curled up at the corner of his mouth.

“You've waited for tens of thousands of years, only to end up in such a wretched, half-human half-ghost state?”

Su Xuanchen brushed his sleeve.

His eyes were full of mockery.

“My Physical Body is indeed perfect.”

“Unfortunately.”

His tone suddenly turned cold, revealing a clear murderous intent.

“With just this pile of scrap metal of yours, you think you're worthy of touching it?”

“You don't have the luck to enjoy it.”

Hearing Su Xuanchen's merciless ridicule,

The green flames in the skeleton's eye sockets suddenly shrank.

It was completely enraged to the extreme.

A terrifying pressure erupted from its grayish-black skeleton with a boom.

“Presumptuous!”

The skeleton roared shrilly.

“A mere True Immortal Realm ant dares to be so arrogant before this seat!”

It was a supreme existence that once awed an entire region when it was alive.

Even if its strength was greatly damaged now, it was definitely not something a True Immortal could provoke.

The Death Qi around the skeleton transformed into countless sharp black spears,

Pointing straight at Su Xuanchen.

“This seat will crush your Divine Soul right now!”

Its tone was cold to the extreme.

“And force you to obediently offer up your Physical Body!”
