Chapter 352 - Powerful Bone Dragon
Chapter 352: Powerful Bone Dragon
A huge river appeared before his eyes. The surging river water let out a furious roar. The water in the river seemed to weigh 10,000 kilograms, making it impossible for one to fly.
Listening to the sound of the surging river water, Lin Jiufeng instead remembered that when he fell into the river just now, he wanted to fly up and escape the predicament, but his body was restrained and he couldn’t fly no matter what.
This Yin River wasn’t simple.
Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were also observing the Yin River. The river water was yellow in color, but it was suffused with dense death energy. The death energy was richer than anywhere else. The surging river water was mixed with death energy. This death energy covered the sky and the earth, and a baleful aura surged. It carried a terrifying aura that made people despair, making Black Skeleton and White Skeleton not dare to go down.
“We crawled out from here just now?” White Skeleton said with a trace of fear.
From the looks of this Yin River, it wasn’t simple. The baleful aura was simply materializing, piercing the bones of the skeletons and making their souls tremble.
“This is just a tributary of the Yin River, it’s not that intense. The true Yin River is a river of corpses. You guys probably don’t want to go there.” The crystal skull took the initiative to tell them the information about the Yin River.
“What’s the use of this Yin River?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“It’s very simple. The existence of the Yin River is to bury the skeletons of the Death Realm. Countless skeletons are buried under this Yin River, that’s why there’s such a huge baleful aura,” the crystal skull said.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and looked at it. He took out the map and observed carefully. He discovered that the records on the map ended at the Yin River.
In other words, the skeleton that drew the map only reached the Yin River and never went deeper.
Lin Jiufeng handed the map to the two skeletons. It was useless now.
He looked at the Yin River and asked, “Is there any danger if we walk along the Yin River?”
He was asking the crystal skull.
The two skeletons looked at the crystal skull together.
“There’s definitely danger. There are many monsters in the Yin River, you guys have to be careful. They like to drag the people on the shore down and devour the resplendent souls. In the Yin River, there are countless and infinite dangers,” the crystal skull replied.
“Where does the Yin River lead to?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
He looked into the distance of the Yin River. He couldn’t see the end of it. It continued forward, exuding a strange feeling as if it had no end.
“The Yin River leads to an unknown place. No one knows where the end is, so if you guys want to enter the depths of the Death Realm, just walk along the Yin River,” the crystal skull said.
“On both sides of the Yin River, there is endless scenery. My memory tells me that walking along the Yin River, you will see the magnificence and beauty of the Death Realm, as well as cruelty and killing,” the crystal skull said.
“That’s good. I want to see the beauty and magnificence of the Death Realm, as well as the cruelty and killing.” Lin Jiufeng looked into the distance and then strode forward.
“Keep up.” Black Skeleton immediately carried the bronze tablet and followed closely behind.
White Skeleton held the crystal skull and followed.
The group advanced along the edge of the Yin River.
After walking like this for a day, they passed countless borders and saw the scenery of the Death Realm in different seasons.
It was very calm for the whole day. It was completely different from what the crystal skull had said.
This calmness instead gave Lin Jiufeng the feeling of the calm before the storm.
Even the two skeletons sensed it. This feeling was very abnormal, making them feel strange.
“This Yin River is a little too calm,” Black Skeleton muttered.
“Inside the Yin River, there are endless dangers. It’s also very dangerous for the people walking on the shore. But after a day like this, nothing happened. This is very strange.” The crystal skull’s words also carried a little seriousness.
“You are a crystal skull that is even more powerful than the five-colored skeleton. Are you also afraid of the Yin River?” White Skeleton asked curiously.
“Of course I’m afraid. There are many five-colored skeletons and crystal skeletons buried in this Yin River,” the crystal skull said.
“There are many five-colored skeletons and crystal skeletons buried in the Yin River?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the Yin River and fell into deep thought.
“Yes. In the Yin River, these are all normal.” The crystal skull answered Lin Jiufeng’s question.
“Previously, Black Skeleton told me that the soul flames of the five-colored skeleton weren’t that easy to eliminate?” Lin Jiufeng stared at the crystal skull and asked.
“That’s for sure. A five-colored skeleton has already reached a very high level. The soul flame has even undergone a transformation. Even if it’s really killed, its soul flame won’t instantly extinguish. Instead, it will remain for a long time. There’s still a weak chance of revival.” The crystal skull admitted this.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the Yin River, then at Black Skeleton and White Skeleton. He said, “I have a bold idea…”
Black Skeleton jolted and immediately said, “There’s no need for this bold idea!”
White Skeleton also followed up and said, “This idea is a little too bold.”
The crystal skull was also shocked. “You’re really not afraid of death?”
They all guessed what Lin Jiufeng’s bold idea was.
Enter the Yin River, find the soul flames of the five-colored skeletons, and absorb them to strengthen themselves.
In theory, it was possible.
But the reality was that the Yin River was too dangerous.
Take the crystal skull for example. It always had a reverent, afraid, and worried attitude towards the Yin River.
After guessing Lin Jiufeng’s bold idea, its first reaction was that Lin Jiufeng had gone crazy.
Wasn’t this seeking death?
The two skeletons also thought so.
Because this thought was too dangerous.
“But we need to become stronger, continuously become stronger. Entering the depths of the Death Realm will be more dangerous than this. We must be powerful enough to face all of this,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.
He now felt that he was still too weak.
Even if he could cross a major realm to defeat the enemy, he was still weak.
The Ancestral Immortal Realm, which was also the level of the purple soul flame, could be considered very powerful in the outer area of the Death Realm.
But as he continued to go deeper, it was completely insufficient.
The crystal skull was beaten into such a tragic state, and only a wisp of soul flame survived. One could imagine how intense the competition deep in the Death Realm was.
He had to improve himself and then enter the depths of the Death Realm to find Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.
And now, he was targeting the soul flames in the Yin River.
The two skeletons and the crystal skull both wanted to persuade Lin Jiufeng, but Lin Jiufeng no longer listened.
A line of words appeared before his eyes.
[Do you want to Sign-In at the Yin River?]
Lin Jiufeng agreed without hesitation.
“Sign in!”
[Sign-In successful. Received Primordial Concealment Technique!]
He signed in for a concealment cultivation technique, but Lin Jiufeng still didn’t know the specific effects, so he checked the information.
[Primordial Concealment Technique is a supreme concealment technique. As long as the other party isn’t a realm higher than you and you don’t reveal any flaws, no one will be able to discover you.]
[This was invented by a senior from the primordial era!]
When Lin Jiufeng saw this, his eyes lit up. Wasn’t this a timely help?
It was very dangerous for him to enter the Yin River. If it weren’t for the fact that he could gain a lot from it, he wouldn’t have thought of this.
Now, with the Yin River in front and him possessing the Primordial Concealment Technique, it was simply perfect for Lin Jiufeng.
As long as he didn’t expose himself, his safety in the Yin River was still guaranteed.
After learning the Primordial Concealment Technique, Lin Jiufeng immediately said, “Wait for me by the shore. I’ll go down and take a look. If I encounter any danger, I will retreat in time.”
When the two skeletons heard this, they couldn’t persuade him anymore. Lin Jiufeng’s determination forced them to listen to him.
Instead, the crystal skull mumbled, “Are you seeking to die?”
Lin Jiufeng ignored its words. He executed the Primordial Concealment Technique and jumped into the Yin River.
Thump!
The water of the Yin River was very heavy, like a huge mountain pressing down on one’s back, preventing one from flying.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t want to fly.
He quickly dived down and carefully explored the muddy, yellow river.
Boom!
Suddenly, waves surged and the Yin River became angry. Without warning, it erupted.
Surging yellow river water pressed down on Lin Jiufeng like an endless yellow wall.
At this moment, in the depths of the Yin River, countless bones were overturned. Lin Jiufeng’s sharp eyes saw a five-colored skeleton.
‘As expected, the crystal skull is right. There are many five-colored skeleton corpses beneath the Yin River.’ Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed.
He resisted the oppression of the Yin River and the terrifying murderous aura that made one suffocate as he continued to go deeper.
At this moment, he felt his soul turn cold.
He was trembling all over.
He was just a spiritual body now.
Amidst the huge waves, he passed through layers of obstacles and arrived beside the five-colored skeleton.
Lin Jiufeng reached out and grabbed the five-colored skeleton’s corpse.
Before he could be happy, a huge figure passed through. It scared Lin Jiufeng so much that he quickly retreated to the side. He activated the concealment technique to its limits, preventing the other party from discovering him.
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes widened. In the Yin River, he tried his best to make himself invisible.
Because in front of him, there was a Bone Dragon. It was extremely huge and domineering. Its soul flame was blazing, and it was definitely very terrifying. It was stronger than the soul flames of Black Skeleton, White Skeleton, and the crystal skull combined.
This was a Bone Dragon at the Immortal King Realm.
It moved through the bottom of the Yin River. The huge wave just now was caused by it.
Fortunately, it didn’t notice Lin Jiufeng.
Otherwise, even if Lin Jiufeng executed the Primordial Concealment Technique to its limits, he would still be discovered.
Wherever it passed, the bones underneath were crushed. It was extremely domineering and powerful.
“Fortunately, I saved this five-colored skeleton. Otherwise, it would be a pity to be destroyed just like that.” Lin Jiufeng secretly rejoiced.
Also, he discovered that the Bone Dragon was charging straight ahead as if it had a motive. This was also the reason why it didn’t notice Lin Jiufeng.
Soon, after seeing the Bone Dragon leave, Lin Jiufeng looked at the five-colored skeleton. It still had some soul flames left, but the remaining flames were just pure essence and had no consciousness.
“That’s good. It won’t be troublesome for me to absorb it at all.” Lin Jiufeng was delighted.
He didn’t go to the shore. He stayed at the bottom of the Yin River and began to absorb the thick energy.
The soul energy of the five-colored skeleton was a great supplement for Lin Jiufeng.
Although it was only a little bit, this was of the Immortal King Realm.
To Lin Jiufeng, who was at the Ancestral Immortal Realm, this was simply a huge amount of energy.
He absorbed it frantically, using the energy to repair his soul. His realm advanced by leaps and bounds, directly crossing the first mountain in the three mountains of the Ancestral Immortal Realm.
He directly arrived at the third mountain.
The three mountains were Blue Sky, Yellow Sky, and Heavenly Sky.
The current Lin Jiufeng stood at the Heavenly Sky level.
After absorbing the five-colored skeleton’s soul flame, Lin Jiufeng buried it at the bottom of the Yin River.
Then, after thinking for a while, instead of retreating, he continued to search.
He followed the path that the Bone Dragon walked and searched continuously. He dared to confirm that since the Bone Dragon had only just walked this path, the other ferocious creatures wouldn’t come here.
Hence, he was very safe now.
The truth was that Lin Jiufeng wasn’t wrong. He kept advancing and really found the corpses of three five-colored skeletons.
The amount of soul flames remaining on each skeleton varies, some more and some less. One of them even had a weak will remaining in its soul flame, but it was useless. This will was like an obsession, repeating a sentence.
[Lord of the Yin River, the King of the Primordial Age. Support the Will of the Death Realm, Great and invincible!]
After Lin Jiufeng heard it twice, his expression became serious.
“Is there a Lord of the Yin River in this Yin River?”
The remaining will of this five-colored skeleton was constantly repeating these words, indicating that this was a very shocking scene for it.
Hence, even though Lin Jiufeng didn’t know how long had passed since it died, it was still repeating this sentence.
To Lin Jiufeng, this was a warning, telling him that the Yin River was really terrifying.
He found a place to hide and silently absorbed the soul flames of the three five-colored skeletons.
Lin Jiufeng sighed while he absorbed the soul flames.
“In this Death Realm, there are countless terrifying existences. A five-colored skeleton is equivalent to an Immortal King. Immortal Kings are very powerful and terrifying, but here, it actually became trash and was thrown into the Yin River.”
The soul flames of the three five-colored skeletons stacked together, helping Lin Jiufeng complete the breakthrough of his spiritual body.
He successfully broke through to the Sovereign Immortal Realm.
This was also the level of the golden soul flame in the Death Realm.
He was only a step away from the Immortal King Realm.
It was just that this step was relatively difficult.
But for Lin Jiufeng, it wasn’t too difficult. He continued to choose to search for the remaining soul flames of the five-colored skeletons in the Yin River.
Now that he had broken through to the Sovereign Immortal Realm, he was even more skilled in executing the Primordial Concealment Technique. Even an Immortal King wouldn’t be able to discover him if they didn’t observe carefully.
Boom!
Just as Lin Jiufeng was about to continue moving, a terrifying fighting sound came from in front of the Yin River. Accompanied by extremely terrifying energy fluctuations, ripples appeared and huge waves surged.
This huge wave directly made Lin Jiufeng’s expression change.
“This is a battle at the Immortal King level!” Lin Jiufeng’s expression changed drastically. Previously, when he was in the mortal realm and controlling the Primal Chaos Array Formation, he had felt such a terrifying impact, so he recognized it immediately. It wasn’t unfamiliar at all.
“Not just one or two, but at least ten Immortal Kings are fighting.” Lin Jiufeng quickly deduced.
This meant that there were more than ten five-colored skeletons fighting in front.
This deduction made Lin Jiufeng very afraid. He didn’t have a physical body now, nor did he have the Primal Chaos Array Formation. He didn’t even have the General Appointing Platform, the Sword of the Holy Church, or the Light of the Homes. He couldn’t withstand the impacts caused by Immortal Kings now.
Lin Jiufeng wanted to escape.
But before he could move, a huge fluctuation spread in all directions.
With a bang, the Yin River stopped being quiet. Lin Jiufeng couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.
He decisively blocked the three five-colored skeletons in front of him to avoid danger.
But Lin Jiufeng discovered a terrifying thing.
Huge waves appeared on the Yin River.
He was floating and sinking inside.
Lin Jiufeng couldn’t control himself. He was pushed forward by the water of the Yin River.
This was very terrifying.
Because he wasn’t far from the center of the battle.
Roar…
Suddenly, roars shook the sky and spread. Lin Jiufeng estimated that even Black Skeleton and White Skeleton that were on the shore could feel this terrifying fluctuation too.
The depths of the Yin River shook violently, causing the Yin River to let out a violent roar. Boundless waves surged. On a closer look, it was a vast expanse of yellow that covered the sky, making one’s heart palpitate and turn cold.
It was also at this moment that Lin Jiufeng discovered a huge creature in the center of the Yin River. It was floating and had a huge body. A violent aura was being emitted from it.
The Bone Dragon!
Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were very sharp and discovered the other party.
It was the Bone Dragon he met previously.
‘So it didn’t discover me at that time because it wanted to come and fight.’ Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart.
He observed carefully and hid far away.
The Bone Dragon was a very terrifying powerhouse. For a while, Lin Jiufeng didn’t manage to see its full appearance clearly.
In the end, it revealed its true body. Lin Jiufeng finally saw it clearly.
It was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters tall. Its entire body was covered in bones. Moreover, they were very hard bones with various runes carved on them. As it became angry, the runes flickered indefinitely. It was very powerful.
Moreover, Lin Jiufeng also saw chains tied to the Bone Dragon.
Shuash!
As its movements increased, the sound of chains trembling sounded. One could clearly see huge blood-red chains binding its body and imprisoning it.
“This… It’s actually a Bone Dragon that has been sealed and imprisoned!” Lin Jiufeng watched in surprise. He hadn’t noticed the chains previously.
This was too shocking. The sealed Bone Dragon could actually erupt with such a terrifying aura. It was unbelievable.
“Worms that’s as weak as ants also dare to behave atrociously in front of me, blocking my cultivation path, and seeking death. Come out. Today, I will crush you all one by one.” The Bone Dragon’s burning soul flame let out a huge roar, carrying a low and rumbling sound, like muffled thunder constantly exploding.
It was only at this moment that Lin Jiufeng noticed that there were actually ten monsters surrounding the Bone Dragon and fighting with it.
“Bone Dragon, you are too arrogant. This Yin River doesn’t belong to you alone. You are trapped by chains, but instead of clamping your tail tightly and keeping low-key, you acted so arrogantly instead. Today, our Shadow Rat Race will devour you.” A dull voice also let out a muffled thunder-like sound. Just like the Bone Dragon, this monster was also very powerful. As it spoke, the Yin River in this portion surged along with it, and the aura of Immortal King constantly erupted.
Lin Jiufeng saw the true body of a huge creature appear from the yellow river water. It was tens of meters tall, hideous and terrifying.
This was a rat-headed monster with a pale yellow skeleton body and a hideous rat-like head. It was like a small mountain that stood tall in the Yin River.
It looked huge, but when placed together with the bone dragon, it looked a little weird.
In front of the Bone Dragon, this Shadow Rat was like a child.
But even if it was a child, Lin Jiufeng was no match for it now.
Because there were a total of 13 Shadow Rats.
Moreover, they were all five-colored skeletons at the Immortal King Realm.
More importantly, the Shadow Rat Race actually dared to attack the Bone Dragon. They must be very confident.
“Bone Dragon, you are already surrounded. Today, I will let you die again!” The leader of the Shadow Rat Race shouted.
“You’re just a group of rats, what right do you have to shout in front of me?” The Bone Dragon snorted coldly. It was completely unreasonable. It directly swept its tail over and sent a few Shadow Rats flying.
“Don’t think that just because your body is powerful, you can do whatever you want. You will definitely lose today!” The leader Shadow Rat roared and several of them rushed up.
Together, they spat out a large amount of corpse water that landed on the Bone Dragon’s body.
This was the essence that their race had refined in the Yin River. It was the Ultimate Evil Water that they obtained after refining other monsters. It instantly spurted on the Bone Dragon’s bones and directly corroded them.
“Hahaha, this Ultimate Evil Water is the fatal weapon that we prepared for you. It corroded your bones. What other capabilities do you have to fight us?” The Shadow Rat leader laughed out loud, very excited. Seeing the Bone Dragon’s bones constantly corroding, it was simply confident of victory.
“Aren’t you guys celebrating too early?” The Bone Dragon snorted coldly. Its soul flame burned fiercely. It wasn’t afraid at all, even though it was facing 13 Shadow Rats that were at the five-colored skeleton level.
“Don’t be stubborn. We’ll kill you today and my race will eat you up. At that time, we can also enter the depths of the Death Realm, walk to the Well of Heaven Ascension, and enter the mortal world. It’s been almost 20,000 years, and our Shadow Rat Race can once again gain control of the Myriad Races and become the true leader of the Myriad Races.” The leader of the Shadow Rats was excited and spoke its heart.
Hiding in the dark, Lin Jiufeng’s mind shook.
What did he hear?
The Well of Heaven Ascension?
A passageway to the mortal realm?
In the depths of the Death Realm, one could enter the mortal realm after finding the Well of Heaven Ascension!
Lin Jiufeng was excited. Wasn’t this one of his motives for entering the depths of the Death Realm?
Now, he finally found a clue.
“Moreover, it said that it’s been almost 20,000 years. The Shadow Rat Race wants to rule the Myriad Races and rule over the world.”
“When they were alive in the mortal world, they were the Myriad Races born after the war between the Immortal Court and the God Race broke out.”
“Moreover, they are from the Number One Race. After they died, they came to the Death Realm and entered the Yin River. Until now, they are already at the Immortal King Realm, so they want to enter the mortal realm and rule the Myriad Races again!”
Lin Jiufeng quickly deduced the origins and thoughts of the Shadow Rat Race.
But what the Shadow Rat Race didn’t know was that after more than 10,000 years, the world had long been overturned.
The Number One Race of the Myriad Races was tricked by the God of Darkness behind the scenes.
Then, the Primordial God Mountain ruled the Myriad Races, causing the Myriad Races to completely decline in power. The Human Race rose up, and the world was overturned. The Myriad Races retreated from the stage of history and chose to seal themselves.
But now, when the Myriad Races reappeared, they were assimilated by the policies of the Yuhua God Dynasty that lasted for decades. They became different ethnic groups that lived a stable life under the rule of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
If it weren’t for the appearance of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age that wanted to wipe out the world again, even if the Shadow Rat Race returned, they would still be facing an incomparably harmonious mortal realm.
Even now, if they returned, they would still be facing the Seven Races of the Ancient Age that had been angered by Lin Jiufeng.
These 13 Immortal Kings were really not enough.
Lin Jiufeng’s thoughts constantly changed. In a short moment, he understood many things.
At this moment, the battle between the Bone Dragon and the Shadow Rats continued.
The Bone Dragon that was corroded by the Ultimate Evil Water was calm and composed. It wasn’t anxious at all. It looked at the Shadow Rats and smiled in disdain. Its soul flame seemed to be mocking the Shadow Rats. “Rats are rats after all. You are short-sighted. Now, open your eyes wide and take a good look. What harm can the thing that you have prepared do to me?”
As the Bone Dragon’s words fell, runes flickered on his corroded bones. They actually recovered rapidly. The bones were unscathed, as perfect as before.
This change shocked the 13 Shadow Rats. They watched in shock.
“This… How is this possible…” The leader of the Shadow Rat Race lost its composure and roared angrily. Its soul flame was burning fiercely.
The Ultimate Evil Water was something that its race had refined for hundreds of years and expended countless efforts to create and could corrode everything. Even the Bone Dragon could be corroded by it.
But now, even though it was corroded, it recovered in an instant. This was a huge blow to the Shadow Rat Race.
“Your plan has failed. I will send you guys on your way now. A group of rats hiding in the dark. No one cares about you guys, but you guys just have to come out and seek death.” The Bone Dragon shouted coldly and then attacked decisively.
Boom!
The Bone Dragon directly threw up the blood-colored chain that imprisoned it. It was very terrifying. It directly wiped out and created a wave that was tens of meters tall.
A huge blood-red chain broke apart and swept towards the Shadow Rat Race.
Such a huge chain swept over, emitting a ghostly roar. The void shattered. In the Yin River, even the primal chaos was beaten out, making Lin Jiufeng watch in horror.
The Bone Dragon was too powerful. Compared to the Shadow Rats, it was like a giant in the sky, very terrifying.
This blood-red chain was like a blood-red dragon surging in the Yin River. Wherever it passed, nothing could resist it.
The Shadow Rats were killed one after another.
They didn’t even have time to scream and died just like that.
As for the dream of returning to the mortal realm and ruling the Myriad Races, it was shattered at this moment.
As for the Bone Dragon that destroyed these Shadow Rats with the chain, it was too lazy to look at them. It directly left and headed deep into the Yin River. Then, under Lin Jiufeng’s gaze, it actually soared into the sky and left the Yin River.
It went deep into the Death Realm.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the place the Bone Dragon went and felt envious.
Those who were powerful could swagger into the depths of the Death Realm.
People like him could only act carefully.
“Wait, the Bone Dragon has left, but the Shadow Rat Race is still around.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
13 Immortal King corpses were placed there.
And they had just died.
Their soul flames were still burning very brightly.
They hadn’t dissipated at all.
To Lin Jiufeng, this was a great supplement. He could perfectly make use of this fortuitous opportunity.
“Big Brother Bone Dragon, thank you for your generosity.” Lin Jiufeng quickly walked over and took away the soul flames in the 13 corpses.
This time, he could fill up the energies needed for the Sovereign Immortal Realm.
The Immortal King Realm wasn’t far away.
