Crystalline Bone Tower
Ye Feng examined the Crystalline Bone Tower. All the information about the bone tower surfaced in his mind.
The Bone Tower is a mysterious entity with an incredibly ancient origin. Its history can be traced back to the Era of Emperor Fall. During a terrifying war, the nine-story Bone Tower was damaged, and its true spirit hid within the fourth story of the tower. It then fled to the Hundred Severed Mountains in the Lower Realm realm, absorbing various materials to restore itself.
It was in the Hundred Severed Mountains that the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao encountered the Bone Tower and began a series of "exchanges" with this scoundrel.
In the Hundred Severed Mountains, Shi Hao discovered a valley where a magical Precious Artifact was emitting bursts of light. At this time, Shi Hao was still a Bear Child, a Little Stone who kept shouting "Eat, eat, eat them all!" and searching everywhere for all kinds of treasures, so naturally he wouldn't let go of Precious Artifact.
The Precious Artifact in the valley was a pure white bone tower, floating in the air and emitting rosy light. Shi Hao wasn't the only one eyeing the bone tower; Bai Hu also White Tiger. However, the bone tower was too terrifying; a single flash of light could shatter the valley, and the covetous individuals fled in terror. The bone tower didn't pursue them, hastily departing.
Shi Hao secretly followed the Bone Tower and discovered that it was being forged and tempered in the heart of the Earth Phoenix Fire. After more than ten days, the Bone Tower absorbed all the flames, growing from the size of a fist to about an inch tall, becoming even more translucent and flawless. Shi Hao picked it up and tested it, but the Bone Tower remained still. Annoyed, he wrapped the Bone Tower around his hair as an ornament.
This was Shi Hao's first encounter with the Bone Tower. Shi Hao only knew that the Bone Tower was mysterious and terrifying, but the Bone Tower completely ignored him, remaining unresponsive no matter how he investigated. Later, Shi Hao obtained the God Striking Stone and hung it in his hair. Although the God Striking Stone didn't know the origin of the Bone Tower, it felt uneasy at the sight of it and automatically swayed to the other side, not daring to approach the Bone Tower.
The Bone Tower only truly made its move during the Battle of the Heaven Mending Pavilion. At that time, Ghost Master was battling four Pure-Blooded Creature, severing their arms one after another. Shi Hao, seeing the Pure-Blooded Creature' flesh and blood on the ground, wanted to take a severed leg, but his strength was insufficient at the time, so he could only dream of it. Suddenly, the Bone Tower burst forth, swiftly devouring the arm of the Yi Mountain being, the claw of the Qiong Qi, the wing of the Devouring Heaven Sparrow, and the lower leg of the being from the Southern Falling Divine Mountain. After that, Shi Hao studied the Bone Tower relentlessly, but he could never recreate that flesh and blood, so he could only vent his anger by gnawing on the Bone Tower every day.
In the end, Shi Hao had no choice but to ask Willow God for help. Willow God looked at it for a long time before recognizing the Bone Tower, saying, "This tower has appeared again." This shows how great the Bone Tower's origins are. The reason why it took Willow God so long to recognize it is because the Bone Tower used to have nine floors, and its appearance has changed.
Shi Hao was very curious about the origin of the Bone Tower. Willow God told him that the Bone Tower had appeared in the ancient times and had also manifested in ancient times, possessing unparalleled Divine Might.
Although Shi Hao wanted to know more about the Bone Tower's past and who it once belonged to, Willow God didn't tell him too much. She only told him that the Bone Tower was extraordinary and a truly Divine Might and unparalleled Precious Artifact.
The Bone Tower had followed Shi Hao for a long time without making any significant moves. It wasn't until Shi Hao went to the Kun Peng Nest and obtained the Holy Tower built from Chaos Soil that the Bone Tower communicated with him, asking him to give it the Chaos Soil in exchange for a chance to act. This was Shi Hao's greatest trump card and most lethal weapon; the Bone Tower promised that in dire straits, it could suppress all enemies or tear through the void to escape.
The transaction involving the Chaos Soil was just the beginning, the beginning of the Bone Tower's scheme to trap Shi Hao. Although the Bone Tower possessed immense power, it was also eccentric, always talking about the balance of the world. For it, gaining something meant losing something else; equivalent exchange was its choice.
These words made Shi Hao very suspicious, and he suspected that the Bone Tower had transferred the cause and effect onto him. However, the Bone Tower said that if you want to gain something, how can you not pay the price?
To Shi Hao, the Bone Tower was a complete rip-off. Using it even once was incredibly troublesome, requiring a huge price to pay: offering sacred materials or exchanging rare and precious treasures. Even when Shi Hao wanted to ask the Bone Tower for guidance on setting up a killing formation, it said the karmic consequences would be too great and advised him to prepare more rare and precious materials. Shi Hao was utterly speechless. Asking for advice on a formation required robbing him, while the Bone Tower calmly replied, "Under normal circumstances, I don't concern myself with worldly affairs."
However, the Bone Tower's strength was undeniable; it easily devoured the powerful Azure Demon Black Eye Spider and the divine bird Azure Luan, who dominated the desolate Desolate Region. What infuriated Shi Hao was that the Bone Tower didn't even give him a feather; in fact, it only left him a single Azure Luan feather.
Shi Hao was a ruthless opportunist, and he and the Bone Tower were practically inseparable swindlers. The Bone Tower frequently tempted Shi Hao to obtain divine materials for it, but Shi Hao usually wouldn't trade with it and always ended up losing out.
Shi Hao was no simple man either. After becoming Empress Shi, he opened the treasure vault and bewitched the Bone Tower into becoming the sacrificial spirit of the Stone Kingdom. Afterwards, Shi Hao and the Bone Tower wreaked havoc on the Immortality Mountain. Shi Hao promised the Bone Tower the entire treasure vault of the Stone Kingdom and pledged that all karmic consequences would be borne by him from that moment on. The Bone Tower Divine Might, helping Shi Hao slay the false god Qin Wu of the Qin Clan, and fiercely waged war against the Five Elements Mountain, releasing Indestructible Living Being.
The Bone Tower also fully demonstrated its ruthless nature, not only looting the treasure trove accumulated by the Immortality Mountain throughout history, but also casually breaking through the grand formation and stealing the materials used to set it up, leaving even Shi Hao speechless. Of course, the Bone Tower also helped Shi Hao rescue his parents.
Although the Bone Tower is a bit of a rip-off, it's definitely a good friend of Shi Hao's.
The origin and identity of the Bone Tower remain a mystery and a highly controversial issue. Whether the Bone Tower is a living being or Precious Artifact is difficult to determine. Shi Hao asked the Bone Tower if it had a human form, to which the Bone Tower simply replied smugly, "Its tower shape is suitable for longevity, a natural vessel for the Dao." From this, it seems it should be a living being, and Willow God has always considered it a partner.
Although the Bone Tower was already very powerful, it was still a fragmented body. In the final battle for the gods in the Eight Regions, the Bone Tower and the Willow God fought against a powerful being from the Upper Realm. The Yin Yang Taoist, wielding a two-tiered pagoda, fought against the Willow God. He had once destroyed one of the Willow God's divine kingdoms, possessing unparalleled strength, and could even withstand the Willow God God's attacks more than ten times. However, he was ultimately shattered by the Willow God.
With the fall of the Yin Yang Taoist, the two-tiered bone tower became ownerless, and various sect leaders vied for it. Only with the invincible intervention of the Willow God was the bone tower able to fuse its two layers, becoming even more powerful and capable of controlling space and Binding the void.
After the final battle of the Eight Regions, the Bone Tower and the Willow God entered the Gate of Origin. Later, Shi Hao obtained three more layers of the tower. Two of the damaged layers were in the hands of the Immortal Fall Ridge, who had once besieged and killed Shi Hao. The third layer was in a destroyed Small World at a spatial node.
The remnant tower of the Small World was first obtained by Shi Hao. He searched for supreme immortal gold to repair the tower and forged a nine-story pagoda. When clearing out the forbidden zone, Shi Hao suppressed the lord of the Immortal Fall Ridge, refined his two-layer bone tower, and placed it into the Immortal Gold Tower to fuse with the inner layer of the bone tower, waiting to return it to the bone tower later.
In the final battle, the Desolate Heaven Emperor fought against three Quasi-Immortal Emperor alone. The Nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Willow God, and Bone Tower helped the Desolate Heaven Emperor face the strongest Feather Emperor. The Desolate Heaven Emperor gave the Desolate Tower to the Bone Tower to help him fuse it into a nine-story tower.
This is the original form of the Bone Tower, possessing the strength of a Celestial King or a Giant, or even higher, but it is still far inferior to the Feather Emperor.
The Nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor melted his remaining bones and incorporated them into the tower. The Bone Tower, fused with the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's bones, gained another layer, transforming into a ten-layered tower. It was precisely because of the Bone Tower fused with the Emperor's bones and the Willow God fused with the Emperor Fire that they were able to hold off Feather Emperor and buy time for the Desolate Heaven Emperor. However, in the end, the Bone Tower was still shattered by the Feather Emperor, and the Willow God perished along with it.
That's all the information about the Bone Tower.
