Chapter 1072: The Immortal Skeleton Awakening

12 Jul, 2024

This aura darkened the sky of the outside world, causing the originally dusky sky to become even darker, until it was completely pitch-black.

The rain was also affected, forming a resonance.

At a glance, all the raindrops in the entire Rain World seemed to have come to life at this moment, surrendering in the direction of the Immortal Skeleton.

The tombs also rumbled and collapsed, and countless corpses crawled out. They were like warriors when they were alive, and they had been waiting for their master after death.

Summoning.

At this moment, it was as if their master had returned.

And so, they returned.

Waves of roars filled the world.

And the source of all this, the Immortal Skeleton in the underground palace, was awakening.

All the Dao marks floating in the surroundings exuded a sense of joy at this moment, and rushed toward the Immortal Skeleton from all directions without any hindrance, and all of them fused into the Immortal Skeleton the moment they touched it.

With the return of the Authority and the appearance of the Dao marks, the awakening feeling became even stronger.

The sky changed color, and the clouds surged. All the inheritance imprints also returned to the Immortal Skeleton.

As they returned one by one, the Emperor treasures also began to shake.

As the rustling sounds echoed, the treasure spirits finally woke up from their slumber. The moment they woke up, they sensed their master's aura, and all of them gathered together.

Thus, armor appeared on the Immortal Skeleton's body, and a long spear appeared on its right side. The left side … was empty.

A compass appeared under its feet, and the sun, moon, and stars appeared above its head. Several rings appeared behind it, forming layers upon layers.

Its aura was like a rainbow.

In contrast, the faces of the other imperial lords in the necropolis flickered. Their hearts were filled with astonishment, and their faces were filled with intense fear.

As cultivators of the Demon Feather Sacred Ground, they were no strangers to the Dark Flame Emperor.

They had experienced the era when the Dark Flame Emperor suppressed them.

It could even be said that many of them had personally witnessed the rise of the Dark Flame Emperor.

They also knew how cruel the Dark Flame Emperor was, and they revered him as if he was a god.

It was only after they had repeatedly confirmed that the Dark Flame Emperor was dead, and many years had passed, and they had been promised by someone, that they had the courage to come.

And the reason why they still came despite being so cautious was because of greed.

Due to the mystery of the Dark Flame Emperor, there were many rumors about him.

Some said that he had joined a supreme organization in this starry sky and was nurtured by this organization.

There were also some who said that he had obtained an inheritance that surpassed the Summer Immortal Foundation.

There were even people who said that a noble bloodline flowed through his veins.

Some even said that he had an extraordinary technique that could help him break through the shackles!

This was why Dark Flame had only been in the Soul Accumulating Realm before he had gone missing. However, after he had returned, he had become a peak Great Emperor.

Regardless, it was common knowledge that karma existed between his extreme victory and extreme decline.

Therefore, the various sovereigns of the Dark Feather Holy Land said that unearthing this secret and plundering this opportunity would be the key to breaking through the shackles of their cultivation.

Even if there were similar extremes of success and decline, cultivators no longer cultivated for the sake of immortality. Only by reaching the peak would one have no regrets in life.

However, in the depths of their hearts, what they believed to be the most dangerous thing had happened.

Dark Flame was not dead!

Following the return of the Authority Inheritance and supreme treasures, the entire underground palace began to rumble.

They wanted to run, but under that immortal skeleton's ice-cold gaze, their dao marks were trembling, flesh restricted, even their souls dim, losing the ability to escape.

Xu Qing and Erniu felt it even more strongly.

They were not sovereigns, and facing this aura, their minds were in turmoil.

Fortunately, they had not stepped into the underground palace and did not face it directly, so they could still hold on.

As for Erniu, after the shield was taken, the worm that his body had transformed into also returned weakly and fused with his head, forming the body of a young boy.

Therefore, at this moment, he had the body of a young boy with the head of an adult, which looked very strange.

As for his expression, it was one of madness.

Because under this aura, not only did they have to resist with all their might, but the shield-like Great Emperor treasure that they had just obtained was also awakening, as if it was about to be summoned back.

They had paid such a price to obtain this treasure, and now it was going to be returned.

To go back like this … Xu Qing was unwilling, and Er Niu was even more unwilling.

"I sacrificed my body to obtain this, and you want to summon it as you wish?

“

Er Niu's eyes were red. In his anxiety, he opened his mouth and swallowed the shield that he was holding tightly in his hand.

In the next instant, his belly bulged as if she was pregnant for ten months. It looked like it was about to explode.

However, Erniu still gritted his teeth and held on with all his might, as if he would rather die than give it up.

After three breaths, Erniu's stomach suddenly tore open, and the shield was about to burst out.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate. He gritted his teeth and took out a needle.

It was the Emperor's Needle that he had obtained from Fu Xie.

He immediately stitched it up.

This kind of karmic suture was released by the needle. Its power was extraordinary, and Erniu's torn belly was finally sewn shut.

Back.

Cut.

At the same time, Xu Qing took out the Emperor's Scissors.

He tried to sever the connection between the shield treasure and the Immortal skeleton.

But the effect wasn't perfect.

The connection was still there, and Erniu's sewn shut.

His belly showed signs of splitting open again …

At that moment, the giant head behind them suddenly opened its mouth and sucked in.

With that, a suction force exploded out and landed on Xu Qing and Erniu.

The bodies of the two trembled. With the help of this force, they finally managed to return the shield treasure in the stomach of the second bull.

The force was suppressed to a certain extent.

The various Sovereigns in the underground palace didn't pay much attention to this. They didn't have the energy to pay attention to the outside world while facing the Immortal skeleton.

However, the Immortal skeleton itself sensed something.

He opened his eyes. His gray eyes turned, and his gaze fell on the stone door where Xu Qing and Erniu were.

After a single glance, he retracted his gaze and looked at the various Sovereigns again …

He opened his mouth and exhaled deeply.

Then, the sound of a heartbeat could be heard from his chest.

Thump thump.

The sound contained shocking power, like a heavy hammer striking one's mind.

Xu Qing and Erniu coughed up blood. They felt deafened, and their souls trembled. They fell back, weakened. The various Sovereigns in the underground palace bore the brunt of the impact. Their hearts trembled, and they all spilled blood.

They struggled with all their might.

The youth's physical body was torn apart, and he wanted his soul to flee.

The scholar's Dao Marks flickered, and he tried to turn the page.

The woman in the palace gown and the old man also used their trump cards, sparing no expense.

The fifth Sovereign, who had transformed into Lin Kun, had a bitter expression. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything to his master's Immortal skeleton.

All of their attempts to escape were completely useless in front of the Immortal Remains.

They all failed.

If they weren't in the underground palace, things might not be like this. But inside the underground palace, they were surrounded by the Immortal skeleton.

Absolute power, absolute difference in status, made everything lose their luster.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry. His gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on the fifth Sovereign.

After a long moment, he slowly lifted his right hand, despite the despair of all sides.

Suddenly, a black flame spread out from his body, burning the altar and everything around it. It spread across the entire ground of the underground palace, forming a black fire lotus!

As soon as the black flame lotuses appeared, the danger level in the area increased exponentially. At the same time, similar lotuses appeared on the Imperial Lords and began to bloom.

Rumbling filled the air as the bound cultivators could only let out miserable wails.

His voice filled the entire underground palace.

Just as everyone was about to be turned into ashes by the fire lotus, one of the two stone doors that hadn't been opened suddenly opened.

Numerous black chains rushed out, burning with black flames that seemed to be of the same origin as the fire lotus.

Clattering sounds rang out as the chains moved with astonishing speed. They ignored the power of the underground palace's fire lotus and headed straight for the immortal skeleton.

Not only was the speed astonishing, but it also seemed to contain some kind of karma law. In an instant, it wrapped around the Immortal skeleton, and at the same time, the burning flames erupted.

The chains appeared extremely abruptly, and as they wrapped around the immortal skeleton, the black fire lotus began to show signs of being suppressed.

The Imperial Lords took advantage of the opportunity to unleash their powers.

The Art of Freedom had finally broken free.

At the same time, a black figure stepped out from the stone door.

It was none other than the black-robed man.

After he appeared, he only needed one step to cross the underground palace and appeared beside the Immortal skeleton. He lifted his right hand and made a grabbing motion, and unexpectedly managed to grab the black crystal that was the life spirit of Great Emperor Dark Feather from the Immortal skeleton.

Not only was the black-robed man not pleasantly surprised, but his face darkened and he suddenly retreated.

As for the Imperial Lords, after they were freed, they hurriedly tried to flee.

However, in the instant that they began to back up, a hoarse voice slowly spoke out from the bound Immortal's corpse.

"Seal."

With that one word, the fire lotus in the underground palace suddenly began to spin and explode, creating a shocking suction force.

All of the open doors in the area were instantly shut by the suction force. Popping sounds could be heard, and all of them closed in an instant.

To prevent them from leaving.

As for Xu Qing and Er Niu, they wanted to dodge but were unable to do so. Their bodies were sucked into the underground palace by the suction force. At the same time, the stone door behind them closed with a bang.

As their expressions changed, the appearance of the underground palace changed as well.

The dome above disappeared and was replaced by folds. The walls in all directions also turned into folds. The ground of the underground palace rumbled and collapsed.

A cave was revealed.

There was actually another world beneath the cave.

A transparent sea could be seen, and a scarlet light could be seen. On the sea, there seemed to be a huge ball of flesh that looked like an embryo!

Within it, there was a terrifying figure sitting cross-legged in meditation!

Before they could see it clearly, a blood-colored vortex appeared between the underground palace and the world below, blocking their vision.

Rumbling sounds could be heard as the vortex spun.

A blood-colored hand with a red beard suddenly stretched out from the vortex.

An aura even more shocking than that of the Immortal skeleton erupted from the arm, and it reached out to grab the black-robed man.
