117: Psycho Skeleton

Bone bodies appeared in the Flowing Land, and as time passed, the range of people who seemed to know about it grew wider and wider, more and more numerous.

Even from deep within those cities, powerhouses above the Twelfth-Order returned, vowing to investigate thoroughly.

Qingyang's pressure also grew increasingly immense.

On this day, in order to push the front line further away, Qingyang had already ventured an unknown distance into the Flowing Land, tens of thousands of miles away.

It was here that Qingyang encountered a lunatic.

This was a Human skeleton, and by his side followed a small snake only about two meters long.

But what frightened Qingyang was that both this Human skeleton and the small snake beside him possessed memories.

Furthermore, Qingyang could not see through the opponent's strength at all.

The cause of the incident was that Qingyang was being pursued by four Eleventh-Order Bone Beasts and four Human skeletons, and Qingyang was no match for them at all.

So the only thing he could do was run first.

The further out one went in the Flowing Land, the fewer and weaker the soul flames would be.

But in such a place, when Qingyang was desperately fleeing, he suddenly encountered this pair.

That lunatic skeleton, like a scavenger, after noticing Qingyang's situation, suddenly erupted with an intense suction force from his pure white bone hand.

Subsequently, the four who were chasing Qingyang died.

Facing such an existence, Qingyang didn't even have the desire to run; he could only brace himself, shrink his bone body, and approach the opponent.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this, Alon, don't you think?"

The skeleton, whose strength could not be seen through, spoke to the bone snake beside him like a madman, muttering to himself.

And the bone snake also nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party.

"We took the wrong path, we can't go this way, we have to rethink the method."

Watching the opponent's deranged muttering, Qingyang subtly began to distance himself from him.

Human skeletons clearly carried memories, which meant on the Blue Star Surface, the opponent was at least a Tenth-Order existence or higher.

And the bone snake beside him clearly had intelligence, so it must have been similar to the other party.

But for some unknown reason, after Qingyang finally got rid of them, he had a feeling that the bone body on that bone snake was very compatible with the other party.

Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but think of that lunatic again, realizing that his bone body also seemed very compatible.

For a moment, an absurd thought burst out from Qingyang's mind.

A Fourteenth-Order existence that brought down one of its own bone bodies.

A rambling skeleton, carrying a bone snake, wandering in the Depths of the Flowing Land, strength unknown.

After secretly getting rid of the opponent, Qingyang immediately took off running.

It was too terrifying; if he wasn't careful, he would be killed by that lunatic.

However, just as Qingyang had been running for three days and was even close to the meeting point, that lunatic skeleton and his small snake were just standing there directly in front of Qingyang, seemingly having waited for him for a long time.

This time, Qingyang was startled.

"What the hell is going on? Can't I get rid of them?" After muttering a few low curses, Qingyang could only shrink his bone body, lower his head, and honestly walk towards the opponent.

After three days of not seeing him, this Human skeleton still looked rambling and, upon noticing Qingyang's arrival, came hopping over to Qingyang's side.

Then, as if stroking a rare treasure in the world, he stroked Qingyang's bone body while starting again.

"What a good specimen, but it's too difficult, I've waited for four thousand years, this path doesn't work, you can't go this way, it's too harsh, wuwuwuwu."

Although the opponent had no flesh and blood, from his energy fluctuations and emotions, Qingyang could still tell that he seemed to be crying.

"He's a true damn lunatic," Qingyang said speechlessly.

"You're scolding me," the Human skeleton suddenly looked up and at Qingyang.

Qingyang: "!!!"

Seeing that Qingyang finally stopped talking, the lunatic skeleton started hugging Qingyang and crying again.

"It's too harsh, what a pity, wuwuwu, your path is wrong, the Pure-blooded Pixiu walked it, and it doesn't work, wuwuwuwu."

As he spoke, the lunatic skeleton actually rolled over and lay on Qingyang, his finger bones stuck in the bone seams on Qingyang's back, his breathing steady, seemingly having fallen asleep.

Just as Qingyang was at a loss, the bone snake not far away slowly came to Qingyang's side.

"Let's go, wherever you go, we'll follow for now, he's too tired, it's good for him to sleep once."

The bone snake, only about two meters long, had its soul energy flickering slightly, making Qingyang feel extremely ancient.

Because he didn't understand the opponent's strength, Qingyang could only carry the skeleton on his back while moving forward and asking the bone snake beside him.

"May I ask, who are you? What did this lunatic... uh, uh, this senior, mean by what he just said?"

Beside him, the bone snake turned its head and examined Qingyang's orange bone body, saying softly.

"There are countless paths to promotion in the Inner Realm, and your predecessors have already thought of all the paths you can think of, and demonstrated with their own bodies, telling future generations which paths are viable and which are not."

"Path? What path am I on?" Qingyang asked, confused.

As soon as this sentence came out, the bone snake seemed to be stunned as well, clearly not expecting Qingyang not to know.

But looking at the calm Human skeleton on Qingyang's back, the bone snake finally explained.

"The path of the Seven-Colored Bone evolution, the path you are currently on, is that very path. A predecessor personally walked this path of yours.

Its original body was a Pure-blooded Pixiu, born among the ranks of Divine Beasts. In that generation on Blue Star, everyone, all Fierce Beasts, including the beings in the Inner Realm, knew that it would inevitably grow to the Sixteenth-Order,

and could even evolve into a Super Divine Beast, a rank only held by one or two in an era, because its method of advancement was devouring, devouring the sky, devouring the earth, devouring all living beings.

In that era, it was the unique protagonist, but when it advanced to the peak of the Fifteenth-Order, it left a sentence on Blue Star, 'I will personally forge a path for future generations, even if this path is impassable, I am confident I will be invincible in the Inner Realm'.

After saying this, it entered the Inner Realm with its peak Fifteenth-Order strength."

A Sixteenth-Order existence can come down in its full state, but a peak Fifteenth-Order can only be stuck at the Fourteenth-Order threshold, meaning it can only bring down one of its own bone bodies, with memories, but its strength is zeroed.

Hearing the bone snake's words, Qingyang couldn't help but feel a surge of 'invincible me' heroism in his heart and quickly asked, "Then what?"

"Then?" The bone snake fell into contemplation.

It wasn't until a long time later that the bone snake spoke again, saying, "Because it was the epitome of invincibility in that era, even when it came down, there were countless powerhouses in the Inner Realm,

and the native beings of the Inner Realm paid attention, but even without strength, this Pure-blooded Pixiu, relying on its devouring talent, broke through to the peak of the Fifteenth-Order once again,

and ventured deep into the Inner Realm, personally killed three queens of the Inner Realm, and surprisingly returned to the Flowing Land."
