190: The power of the curse!

Above the Spirit Spring, although Golden Eagle and Jin Ling sensed the intense vibrations below, they wouldn't act without Xia Fan's command, so they could only worry.

However, the vibrations continued, and with Xia Fan and Magic Cat not coming up, they became increasingly anxious.

At this moment, a void rift appeared, and Xia Fan emerged from it, a hint of solemnity on his face. Jin Ling and Golden Eagle immediately stepped forward, asking curiously, "Boss, what happened inside?"

"Was there danger?"

The two beasts chattered, pressing him with questions, but seeing Xia Fan safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This place is not suitable for prolonged stay!"

Xia Fan, without a word, directly led his subordinates away. Although the black-robed man full of evil just now was only a remnant soul, he posed a great threat to him!

In fact, he was certain that if it weren't for the eastern emperor bell, his current body would probably have been taken over by that evil entity, which sent shivers down his spine.

Of course, if there was no eastern emperor bell, he wouldn't have been able to enter the cave directly without breaking the seal, and naturally wouldn't have seen the black-robed man.

Perhaps all of this was fate.

Hearing this, Jin Ling and Golden Eagle exchanged glances and followed closely behind Xia Fan, leaving.

They had rarely seen their King look so serious, and immediately understood the gravity of the situation.

Half an hour later, Xia Fan and his group had completely left Magic Dragon Valley. Only then did he feel a little relieved. He found a place and began to examine the mysterious skeleton he had taken from the cave, as well as the green bead.

Xia Fan glanced at it and knew that the skeleton was nothing special, so he focused his attention on the green bead.

This bead possessed an incredibly rich life aura; just holding it in his hand made him feel comfortable, so he believed that this bead might have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

But no matter how he examined it, he couldn't find any other unique features of the bead.

Helpless, he could only look at Jin Ling and Golden Eagle, "Can you two see anything?"

The two beasts shook their heads hastily, indicating they had no idea.

"Tiger Brother."

Just then, Magic Cat pointed at the abandoned skeleton, very worried, and said, "Have you noticed that there's a peculiar power within this skeleton? It's definitely not spiritual energy or soul power!"

"Oh?"

"What kind of peculiar power is that?"

Although his own perception was keen, Xia Fan wouldn't rely solely on his own judgment for everything, as sometimes others' suggestions were very useful.

Magic Cat said in a deep voice, "There seems to be a power on it that makes me very uncomfortable, but I can't recall what it is for a while."

"What is it? Think hard."

Xia Fan was immediately surprised and once again fixed his gaze on the skeleton, but still found nothing. "Can you be more specific?"

He was very curious, what kind of power could it be that even he couldn't detect?

"It seems... it seems to be, the legendary... power of a curse!"

Magic Cat spoke subconsciously, and after a moment, said with great certainty, "Yes, it should be the power of a curse, it's too strange!"

For a moment, Xia Fan was shocked, as he had never heard of such a power, nor had he encountered a power of this magnitude.

Unable to figure it out, Xia Fan stopped thinking about it.

His attention returned to the green bead.

This bead emitted an extremely strong life force. Xia Fan named it: "Life Bead!"

"Golden Eagle, Jin Ling, keep an eye on our surroundings and tell me if there's any movement."

"Yes!"

After giving them instructions, Xia Fan reached out and took the green bead.

But soon, that skeleton began to change gradually.

Visibly, the skeleton, which was originally jade-like, began to slowly decay as the green bead was taken away.

Eventually, it turned into a handful of ashes, scattered across the ground by the gentle breeze.

"The power of the curse... has disappeared!"

At this moment, Magic Cat exclaimed, but quickly reacted and said excitedly, "It seems that the evil man was afflicted by a powerful curse, but even this bead couldn't save him!"

"Moreover, that curse power would spread to the soul, which is why he chose to separate his soul from his physical body."

"Tiger Brother, it's truly terrifying. What kind of curse power is this, to be so horrifying!"

Xia Fan didn't speak. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized something and became even more eager to improve his strength.

The immense power within the Life Bead was actually able to preserve the skeleton for so long, and that black-robed man, merely a remnant soul, was able to pose a threat to him, a peak fifth-stage expert, or even a sixth-stage expert when combined with Magic Cat.

How terrifying must the black-robed man's strength have been when he was alive?

And who was it that harmed him in such a way?

After much thought, Xia Fan couldn't find an answer and knew that it was useless to keep thinking. He immediately cast aside all the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began to refine the green bead.

Indeed, once the curse power on the skeleton dissipated with the wind, he encountered no significant obstacles when refining this green bead, the Life Bead.

As time passed, the Life Bead was eventually successfully refined by him. At this moment, Xia Fan was filled with emotion and joy, "With the strength of my current body, I should have reached the level of immortality, right?"

"This item is indeed extraordinary!"

Xia Fan himself already possessed the immortal body of Yamata no Orochi and the regeneration power of Blue Octopus King. Now, with the addition of the Life Bead, his wounds would begin to heal almost before the object that inflicted them had even disappeared.

Thinking of this, he confidently looked up at the sky, his heart filled with abandon, "From now on, even if I encounter such terrifying curse power, I should be able to contend with it myself!"

"The old saying, 'fortune favors the bold,' is indeed true!"

After briefly experiencing the abilities of the Life Bead, Xia Fan turned to Golden Eagle and Jin Ling and said, "Come, I will personally lead you to find your fortune."

"Really?"

Golden Eagle and Jin Ling were overjoyed, but Xia Fan nodded and chuckled, "What, you don't want your King's help?"

"No, no, it's not that. It's truly a great blessing for us that the King can help us. How could we be unwilling?"

"Exactly, we should be very grateful for the King's guidance."

"Hahaha, you two are smooth talkers!"

..."Hahahaha..."

At the same time, in another part of Kunlun Mountain, a thunderous laugh erupted.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Monkey King, who had arrived here at some unknown time.

Now, in Monkey King's hand, he held a bell, laughing up at the sky, "Hahahaha, the Purple Golden Bell is mine!"

"From now on, I, Monkey King, will also have a place in this world!"
