Chapter 361: Life Force Malicious Aura
After hearing the news, Lin Jiufeng quickly made a decision. He didn’t stay any longer and chased after the team from Giant City. It would save him a lot of trouble by letting them scout the path for him.
Bringing with him Black Skeleton, White Skeleton, the crystal skull, the bronze tablet, and the coffin, Lin Jiufeng executed the Primordial Concealment Technique and chased after them frantically. He chased in the direction pointed out by the people of the black market.
The group of skeletons of the Giant City had just left not long ago. Although they were all five-colored skeletons, their speeds would definitely be slowed by moving as a group. Moreover, as they continued to go deep into the Death Realm, they would be very careful of potential dangers and wouldn’t be traveling at full speed. Therefore, it wasn’t hard for Lin Jiufeng to catch up.
Lin Jiufeng chased after them at his fastest speed. It only took less than half a day to see the group from Giant City.
Lin Jiufeng was certain of who they were at first glance.
Because it was too easy to recognize.
This group of skeletons was the only one of their kind in the Death Realm. They were very unique.
Their huge bodies that were eight to ten meters tall were like pillars that could support the sky. Their five-colored soul flames also emitted a terrifying pressure.
These skeletons were gathered together. No one in the surroundings dared to approach at all. Ordinary skeletons couldn’t withstand the pressure of a group of five-colored skeletons at all. They would be crushed by the pressure.
When Lin Jiufeng saw them, he slowed down his pace and said softly, “The people in the black market aren’t lying. The skeletons of the Giant City have really traveled deep into the Death Realm. Moreover, they have mobilized so many five-colored skeletons. Their intention is definitely not simple. Therefore, as long as we follow them, we will be able to obtain information about the Well of Heaven Ascension.”
The crystal skull and the two skeletons were stored into the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield by Lin Jiufeng and were communicating with him.
“Why did the Well of Heaven Ascension suddenly appear?” The crystal skull asked.
“How exactly did the King of the Netherworld discover the Well of Heaven Ascension back then?” Lin Jiufeng asked the crystal skull.
“I don’t know about that. She only brought me there after discovering the Well of Heaven Ascension. She didn’t show me the outside world along the way and only let me out when we arrived. The Well of Heaven Ascension is really huge and shocking. It’s worthy of being the Well of Heaven Ascension,” the crystal skull recalled.
“Then, these five-colored skeletons have discovered the news of the Well of Heaven Ascension. I wonder if they discovered the same clue found by the King of the Netherworld back then,” Lin Jiufeng guessed.
“I don’t know, but back then, beside the Well of Heaven Ascension, there was a sea of blood. That sea of blood was very huge. I remember this characteristic because I could also see the sea of blood through the Well of Heaven Ascension. I asked the King of the Netherworld if she came through the sea of blood. She didn’t admit it, but she didn’t deny it either.” The crystal skull revealed something that only it knew.
Even though it was killed back then and its head was cut off, it also didn’t reveal this information to those skeletons that captured it.
Saying it out now was also because it felt that its only support now was Lin Jiufeng.
It also wanted to take a look at the path that the King of the Netherworld had walked to find the Well of Heaven Ascension.
“Sea of blood…” Lin Jiufeng pondered. Speaking about the sea of blood, he thought of Bai Mao’er.
The extremely strange bloodline in her body had always puzzled Lin Jiufeng.
Even though she had broken through to the Mystic Immortal Realm, her bloodline wasn’t completely exposed. It was just that there was a sea of blood in her body, and at the edge of the sea of blood, there were various statues.
When Lin Jiufeng was killed, the sea of blood in Bai Mao’er’s body rushed out and surged into his body, allowing his corpse to maintain its vigor.
The former Lin Jiufeng had signed a contract with Bai Mao’er.
A contract of life and death!
Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat were bonded together.
Originally, when Lin Jiufeng was killed, Bai Mao’er would have died too.
But at that critical moment, the sea of blood in her body rushed out and wrapped around Lin Jiufeng’s corpse. It surged into his body and maintained the last bit of vitality that could be used as the array core of the Primal Chaos Array Formation.
It even preserved a wisp of Lin Jiufeng’s remnant soul, allowing him to be able to carry out the marriage ceremony with Bai Mao’er.
This ensured that Bai Mao’er didn’t die with Lin Jiufeng. Moreover, Lin Jiufeng suspected that the reason why he could come to the Death Realm and bring his memories with him was because of that sea of blood.
Now that the crystal skull mentioned the sea of blood, it instantly hooked up Lin Jiufeng’s memories.
“No matter what, we should be able to find the answer by following this team from Giant City. They are making such a fanfare, they must have discovered something,” Lin Jiufeng said firmly. He executed the Primordial Concealment Technique and followed this team from afar. Because he had also entered the Immortal King Realm, these people couldn’t discover him at all.
The team of the Giant City continued to advance. They seemed to know the path deep in the Death Realm very well. They advanced rapidly and occasionally avoided some dangerous places. In just one day, they advanced thousands of miles.
In the outside world, this speed was nothing.
But this was the depths of the Death Realm, it was already not bad.
Because of their familiarity, it saved Lin Jiufeng the trouble of taking detours too. He stayed far away from them and wasn’t discovered.
And on this day, the skeleton team of the Giant City encountered another team. Both sides stopped.
“Skeletons of the Beast King City. You guys also received the news?” A skeleton in the lead of the Giant City looked at the bones of various ferocious beasts and animals in front of it and sneered.
“Since your Giant City can receive the news, we will naturally receive the news.” A white tiger skeleton from the Beast King City walked out. The five-colored soul flame between its brows flickered. Its aura was extraordinary, suppressing the skeletons from Giant City.
“It seems that you guys aren’t the only ones. The Asura City and the Hundred Battles City have also received the news.” The five-colored skeleton from the Giant City said in an unfriendly tone.
“Since the Well of Heaven Ascension has appeared, we will all depend on our own capabilities to enter it. I’ve stayed in this Death Realm enough. I want to return to the mortal realm and have my flesh and blood reborn. Whoever dares to stop me will die!” The white tiger skeleton shouted and made its attitude clear.
“Hmph, I also want to enter the mortal realm. Who would be willing to stay in this damned Death Realm? If the Well of Heaven Ascension has really appeared, we can cooperate. In any case, everyone’s target is the same.” The five-colored skeleton from the Giant City sent an invitation.
“Although you skeletons are tall, you guys are also the most cunning. Your words cannot be trusted. It’s better for everyone to rely on their own capabilities. If we really cooperate with you, the first to be deceived to death will definitely be us.” The white tiger skeleton rejected flatly. It didn’t believe in the skeletons of the Giant City at all.
“Then we shall each rely on our own capabilities!” The five-colored skeleton of the Giant City was in a very bad mood. It sneered and turned to leave.
The white tiger skeleton of the Beast King City also turned around and continued forward with its team.
The two sides were at odds.
Following behind them, Lin Jiufeng was like a shadow. His spiritual fluctuations communicated with the crystal skull and the others.
“Is the Beast King City as powerful as the Giant City?”
The crystal skull replied, “Yes, they are just as powerful. It’s not just the two of them. There’s also the Asura City and the Hundred Battles City. They haven’t been wiped out for 20,000 years.”
“These top factions haven’t discovered the Well of Heaven Ascension in 20,000 years?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“The Well of Heaven Ascension isn’t that easy to find. Moreover, most of the skeletons in the depths of the Death Realm are at the Immortal King Realm. A few have even reached the level of the crystal skeleton, but they are also unable to explore the secrets in the depths of the Death Realm!” The crystal skull revealed a secret.
“There aren’t many crystal skeletons in the depths of the Death Realm?” Lin Jiufeng was dazed. He thought that there were a lot of them. The five-colored skeletons didn’t seem to be worth much at all.
But from the looks of it, that wasn’t the case at all.
“In the Death Realm, there aren’t many crystal skeletons at all. Because the energy in the Death Realm can’t support too many crystal skeletons. Back then, if it weren’t for the King of the Netherworld giving me so many resources at the last moment, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the crystal skeleton realm. Therefore, the five-colored skeletons are already very powerful. When they break through to the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, they can basically do whatever they want in the Death Realm, as long as they don’t encounter any special trouble,” the crystal skull said.
“Then, if I break through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm, I will have a stable foothold in the depths of the Death Realm,” Black Skeleton said longingly.
“Yes, but the prerequisite is that you don’t court death and offend those major factions that we mentioned just now. If you provoke them, unless you are at the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, you will also be in great danger,” the crystal skull said.
“Wait, I remember something. The five-colored skeletons will remember what happened when they were alive. Then, you are already a crystal skeleton. What was your identity when you were alive?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
The crystal skeleton also appeared in the Death Realm 20,000 years ago. Then, when it was alive, it was also during the period when the Immortal Court and the God Race fought?
“When I was alive…” The crystal skull fell silent.
“I won’t tell you guys right now. Let’s follow the Giant City first. I’ll tell you guys when I feel like talking about it.” The crystal skull sighed, unwilling to continue this topic.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t continue to ask. In any case, the crystal skull was now in the same boat as him. It would tell him sooner or later.
After the teams from Giant City and the Beast King City met, they maintained a distance and continued to travel deep into the Death Realm.
The deeper they went, the richer the death energy became. Moreover, there was terrifying baleful energy that seeped into their souls. Even if it was a five-colored skeleton, it would still suffer a calamity if it wasn’t careful.
“Be careful. This is the threat in the depths of the Death Realm. Baleful Life Energy. Something that has been accumulated for countless years and will invade your soul and change your soul source energy, causing your soul to be returned to the world. Your soul energy will be directly devoured by the depths of the Death Realm.” The crystal skull warned Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng was very careful, ensuring that he wouldn’t be invaded by this baleful energy.
But the other five-colored skeletons weren’t so lucky.
The threat of truly entering the depths of the Death Realm had just begun to appear. But even so, Lin Jiufeng already saw an Immortal King from the Giant City and the Beast King City each having their souls being invaded and self-immolated on the spot.
This was a terrifying scene.
The Five-Colored Skeleton Realm was equivalent to the Immortal King Realm.
No matter where they were, they were all extremely powerful existences.
But now, when they were invaded by the baleful aura, their souls self-immolated and spread to their skeleton bodies. Then, the Great Dao flowers rained from these two five-colored skeletons. It was extremely dazzling.
Fire, flower rain, Great Dao, Immortal King…
At this moment, they seemed to have disintegrated into the Dao. There were no traces of their existence at all.
Instead, the baleful aura that devoured them surged and stirred up violent winds as if it was about to rain.
The leaders of the Giant City and the Beast King City were in a heavy mood. At the same time, they shouted, “Everyone, pay attention. If you guys are invaded by the baleful aura, no one can save you guys. Don’t let your guard down!”
But with this previous example, everyone was obviously much more careful. They didn’t dare to show any flaws at all and covered themselves up tightly.
Then, they continued forward.
Lin Jiufeng maintained his state and followed behind.
No one discovered him. Everyone was very vigilant, but this vigilance was for the front. They absolutely didn’t expect that someone would follow behind them.
These were all five-colored skeletons. If someone really followed them, they were confident that they would discover the follower.
Especially the leaders of the two cities. They were both at the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm and were extremely confident of themselves.
Just like that, Lin Jiufeng followed them.
Then, he triggered the Sign-In.
[Do you want to Sign-In in the Baleful Life Energy?]
These words appeared before his eyes.
“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed.
[Sign-In successful. Received the Baleful Energy Treasure Box!]
Lin Jiufeng didn’t know what use this treasure box had. He checked the information.
[It can absorb a huge amount of baleful energy and store it. At the critical moment, it can erupt this stored energy.]
This information made Lin Jiufeng’s eyes light up. If he absorbed and stored the Baleful Life Energy, it would definitely become a trump card.
After all, it could let a five-colored skeleton burn itself and disintegrate into the Dao in a short period of time.
This was a terrifying item.
To Lin Jiufeng, this was a great help.
Lin Jiufeng walked behind the two teams of skeletons. He quietly held the Baleful Energy Treasure Box and frantically absorbed the Baleful Life Energy into it.
For this reason, he even deliberately distanced himself from them to prevent them from discovering him.
“If we really start fighting, I will directly spread out the baleful energy stored inside. Then, there will definitely be no one who dares to make a move.” Lin Jiufeng was very certain that everyone cherished their lives.
Especially this group of five-colored skeletons in the Death Realm. They were all people who had died once. After they became skeletons, they even cultivated with all their might, which was why they became what they were now.
Although they were neither human nor ghost, at least there was hope.
Find the Well of Heaven Ascension, return to the mortal realm, and be reborn from flesh and blood.
This was the dream of every five-colored skeleton in the Death World.
On Lin Jiufeng’s side, he was absorbing the Baleful Life Energy. On the other side, the teams from the Giant City and the Beast King City encountered the teams from the Asura City and the Hundred Battles City.
They, who had set off from different places, still met.
For a time, the four factions glared at each other and were in a stalemate.
“You guys have formed an alliance?” The five-colored skeleton of the Asura City asked the skeletons of the Giant City and the Beast King City.
“No. Who would dare to ally with the skeletons of the Giant City? Aren’t such fools sending themselves to their death?” The white tiger skeleton of the Beast King City mocked.
“Hmph, we have no interest in forming an alliance with a group of animals!” The five-colored skeleton of the Giant City sneered and said directly.
The white tiger skeleton instantly gritted its teeth. Its soul flame jumped. It was really angry.
The skeletons of the Asura City and Hundred Battles City didn’t say a word. It was as if they were watching a good show. They especially hoped that the skeletons of the two factions would fight.
Unfortunately, the white tiger skeleton wasn’t mentally disabled. Although it was angry, it wouldn’t attack at this moment.
“What a pity.” The five-colored skeleton of the Asura City sighed.
This attracted the attention of the Beast King City and the Giant City skeletons.
“That’s enough. Now, we need to agree together that we won’t make a move before the Well of Heaven Ascension is discovered. Can you all adhere to this?” A five-colored skeleton from the Hundred Battles City walked out and asked.
The five-colored skeletons of the three major factions nodded in agreement.
“Alright. From now on, let’s set off. The Well of Heaven Ascension caused such a large commotion this time, this might be a good opportunity for us to enter the mortal realm. We must seize it,” the five-colored skeleton of the Hundred Battles City said excitedly.
The other skeletons were the same. When it came to the mortal realm, they all yearned for it.
They thought about it day and night, wanting to enter the mortal world.
