Dragon Skeleton

"Swish! Swish!"

Si Wuyan and the Purple-clothed Woman arrived one after the other.

The two were shocked to see the bloodstains at the corner of Sheng Wulian's mouth.

The Purple-clothed Woman asked, "Does Li Weiyi also possess extraordinary power?"

This is the only explanation for being heartbroken Sheng Wulian!

"How could the Jiu Li Hidden Person not be under special protection? Those old good-for-nothings of the Jiu Li Tribe all have protective treasures and offensive weapons on them," said Si Wuyan.

Without offering further explanation, Sheng Wulian regained his composure and spirit. "Li Weiyi must die, otherwise the reputation of the Dao Palace will be tarnished by our generation of martial artists. Quickly condense your Golden Core, strive for the half-step to immortality, wash away this shame in the East Sea, and let this setback become a good medicine to temper our spirit and fighting will."

Huo Xin, Wu Hongling's magical artifact has been taken away, Si Wuyan injured and on the verge of death. He also experiences his first defeat in a battle against someone of the same cultivation level...

In Sheng Wulian's view, Dao Palace's generation has been driven to the brink of disaster.

Without attaining Longevity Body and washing away the shame, the position of true successor will inevitably change hands sooner or later.

The Purple-clothed Woman looked at Wu Hongling, her heart filled with curiosity. It was the first time she had heard Sheng Wulian utter the word "setback." Had he truly lost?

Li Weiyi returned to Fengshi Reef and found that only a few martial arts practitioners with lower cultivation levels remained on the island, while the rest had gathered at the seabed rift ten miles away.

Yu'er, holding the treasure box, ran to him. "Master, it's shaking so badly, I can barely hold it down!"

Seeing that she seemed about to return it, Li Weiyi quickly stopped her, asking, "What are you doing?"

You can't even hold it down, so you expect me to?

"Isn't this still manageable? You take it first. Master has just broken through to a higher realm and urgently needs to consolidate his cultivation."

Li Weiyi immediately sat cross-legged, took out the Longevity Flower, and plucked the Blue Petal and Red Petal, intending to take advantage of the opportunity of breaking through his cultivation realm to cultivate the Longevity Body.

He always felt a sense of crisis.

He's making progress, and others are improving too. If someone breaks through to immortality, he'll fall far behind. A single realm can mean a world of difference in combat power.

Yu'er stared at Li Weiyi's retreating figure, secretly suspecting that her master might know about her innate superhuman strength.

He knew, but didn't tell her, and didn't teach her Breathing Technique.

What secret is Master hiding?

Ten miles away, at the edge of the seabed fissure, a bright wave of light spread out, and a large amount of lightning condensed out of thin air, accompanied by thunderous roars and an extremely powerful aura.

"Haha! I've broken through! I've finally broken the Universe Lock... Heavens, you haven't abandoned me... One hundred and forty years of arduous cultivation, and today I have finally attained immortality. I now have a place in this world."

The Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect stood amidst the thunderclouds, letting out a long, unrestrained roar, his voice filled with tears and joy—the joy of a withered tree sprouting new buds, the cathartic release of a century's worth of suppressed emotions, and boundless aspirations for the future.

Then, he went completely mad, transforming into a bolt of lightning and traversing the seabed.

He was almost driven mad with joy.

After a long while, he calmed down and appeared near Fengshi Reef. His emaciated body became much younger and more robust, and hair grew on his bald head, making him look only about sixty years old.

The breakthrough of the Great Elder of Lei Xiao Sect spurred countless older martial cultivators who were stuck at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm or at the half-step into immortality. They disregarded everything and absorbed the Immortal Dao Scriptures.

"Ah..."

A scream rang out.

An Old Man at the peak of the Ninth Heaven Dao Seed Realm could not withstand the large amount of Immortal Dao Scriptures. His ancestral field shattered, and half of his body exploded into bloody mud.

"Everyone, calm down. Even if you've absorbed the Immortal Dao Scriptures and the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi, you still need to digest and comprehend them slowly. Don't rush it. That old bastard from the Lei Xiao Sect was only half a step into immortality; he just got lucky and managed to get through." Zhu Seventy-two Heavens shouted this, but in reality, he was more anxious than anyone else.

Half an hour later.

An ancient, spiritual voice echoed from the seabed, "Everyone retreat to the reef."

Martial arts practitioners and demonic beasts from various factions rushed toward the nine islands and reefs.

Knowing that the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton are about to be born, they will surely be accompanied by even more extraordinary opportunities. However, such opportunities are not something everyone can obtain.

After returning to Fengshi Reef from Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race were all excited, having gained a great deal, and engaged in lively discussions.

The Elder Chìlí was beaming, more excited than he had been in decades. "I have finally condensed the Longevity Golden Pill of Immortality. With the Immortal Dao Scriptures and the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi contained within it, I will break the Universe Lock in five years at most."

"Congratulations, congratulations! I'm just a little short. It will probably take me several more months to cultivate the Longevity Golden Pill." Elder Qílí's face was full of envy, and his heart was also full of hope and expectation. He was very confident that he would break through to the Longevity Realm in the future.

This opportunity was equivalent to ten years of arduous cultivation for him.

The Elder Chìlí said, "On the anniversary of my breakthrough to the next realm, I must hold a grand banquet to dispel the bad luck of the past decades."

Zhu Yibai asked Zhu Seventy-two Heavens, "Brother Qishier, how is it?"

"It's loosened! My Universe Lock has finally loosened! My goodness! I thought it was made of immortal iron, but now it seems that even with the true Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi and Immortal Dao Scriptures, it still has a chance to break. Good things come to those who wait." Zhu Seventy-two Heavens's eyes were filled with tears, no longer as desperate as before.

All the disciples of the Lei Xiao Sect gathered around the Great Elder, bowed in unison, and shouted, "Greetings, Longevity Realm Expert!"

Even prodigies like Lei Wu, the leader of the Lei Xiao Sect, and Lu Cangsheng were no exception.

A difference of just one realm can mean a completely different social status.

The members of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate looked over.

A reclusive Supreme Elder immortality, sighed, "How envious! He was already halfway to the grave, yet he broke through to a higher realm. Now he has several decades to live. Who knows, during this time, he might even break the Soul Return Lock and live for another sixty years."

"Hidden Person, you've also broken through to a higher realm? I heard you were fighting against the Dao Palace's disciple earlier, were you injured?" Yao Yin asked with concern when she saw Li Weiyi meditating.

After consuming two petals of the Longevity Flower, Li Weiyi's physical transformation would take several days. However, he had already endured the most difficult stage and let out a long sigh of relief.

The exhaled breath was red and blue in color, with a strong floral fragrance.

Blood and Qi, muscles and internal organs, tendons and skin are constantly improving, but whether one can cultivate the Longevity Body in a few days is unknown. After all, the Longevity Flower is just a legend.

"He's injured, but it's him who's injured. His so-called Ancient Sect True Disciple, I think, are lacking; he's only at the level of Demon Child."

Li Weiyi stood up, preparing to welcome the birth of the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton. Such an opportunity to "behold the immortal's face" was extremely rare. If, in case, legendary auspicious omens, Emperor Medicine, or Immortal Spring were to be born, he would have to compete for them.

However, these things rely more on luck.

After all, the transcendent beings would definitely take it away immediately; they wouldn't leave it to a group of juniors.

Seeing his serious and composed demeanor, Yao Yin playfully punched him. Noticing gazes directed at her, she immediately adopted a haughty and aloof expression, whispering, "Don't underestimate them. Be cautious; safety is always the top priority. These people definitely possess something dangerous; the Ancient Sect True Disciple are not simple. Also, Wu Hongling is extremely cunning and a very dangerous woman. Don't be fooled by her."

"You talk too much!"

Li Weiyi smiled, then said seriously, "Don't worry, once the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton are born, I will return to the Lingxiao Shengjing with the seniors. I will absolutely not engage in any petty squabbles. I won't give them a chance for revenge; I'll make them furious to death."

The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors had previously gone to the edge of the seabed rift with Yao Yin. After absorbing a large amount of Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi and Immortal Dao Scriptures, they were all dizzy. Li Weiyi knew they were unrestrained, sighed softly, and put them all into the Insect Pouch.

Unlike the others on the island, Liu Ye stood on the edge of Fengshi Reef, gazing at the boundless sea in the other direction, a look of worry constantly shrouding his brow.

Zuoqiu Hongting walked to Li Weiyi's side. "Gather all the Jiu Li Tribe members on the island together, don't let them wander off. The Old Ancestor just sent me a message saying that after the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton are revealed, he will take all the people from both our tribes away from the island immediately. We will not go down to explore the Immortal Tomb Ruins as originally planned!"

The original plan was that after the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton were excavated, Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator could enter the underground to search for any overlooked treasures, such as Immortal Soil, fine medicines, blood crystals, and Immortal Corpse Blood Soil.

Li Weiyi asked, "Have you told the old man about the situation up there?"

Zuoqiu Hongting gently shook her head. "With my telepathic abilities, I can only hear his voice transmission, but I can't communicate with him. However, the Old Ancestor's unusual behavior shows that something must have happened down below, making him sense the danger, which is why he decided to leave immediately."

Li Weiyi wholeheartedly agreed, "What about those martial arts practitioners on the ship?"

"There will be transcendent escorts from the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race; everyone must evacuate in batches." Zuoqiu Hongting added, "Don't worry too much; this is just a precaution. By the way, what was the outcome of the battle against the Sheng Wulian?"

Li Weiyi said, "Slightly superior. It seems I also possess the Ancient Sect True Disciple. How about it? I haven't embarrassed you, my Fiancée, have I?"

"Look at how smug you are, you've gotten a little carried away," Zuoqiu Hongting said.

Li Weiyi took out the remaining Golden Petal of the Longevity Flower and handed it to her. "Last time, without your help, we couldn't have succeeded in seizing the Longevity Flower. Keep this one for now; it can be used to forge a 99% perfect Longevity Golden Bone."

Zuoqiu Hongting accepted it without any pretense or feigned refusal. After all, if she didn't accept it, it might just be handed over to Yao Yin Yao Yin, who already possessed considerable martial arts talent.

"Boom!"

The area of the sea, spanning three hundred miles and covered by the Nine Dragon Locking Pillars, trembled violently. The dried-up seabed was riddled with cracks, and powerful energies shot straight into the sky, threatening to pierce through the void of the universe.

If it weren't for the Formation Script and the dragon-locking pillars protecting them, the nine islands would have collapsed.

The dried-up seabed collapsed completely, revealing a huge hole from which a beam of light shot out.

Gradually, the enormous Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, supported by multiple transcendent forces, came into view.

Li Weiyi used his Heavenly Eye to see through the golden mist for hundreds of miles, and faintly saw several transcendent figures standing in mid-air. They were too far away, their bodies as small as dust, but their auras were exceptionally powerful, like stars adorning the place.

The Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton was as enormous as a divine mountain, and the light emanating from its scales was so dazzling that it was impossible to look Heavenly Eye at it. Li Weiyi used his Heavenly Eye to look at it for a moment, and immediately felt an intense pain between his brows. He immediately stopped using his magic and closed his eyes to rest.

"Splash!"

The clanging of iron chains echoed throughout the entire sea.

Chains covered with scriptures, as thick as buckets, hung down from a giant ship in the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

That colossal ship exuded an aura as powerful as a supreme magical Supreme Magic Tool, and the scriptures it emitted created a small world. It came from the Dao Palace, and a peerless humanoid being stood on it, thousands of feet above the ground.

The Du'e Temple also had a great figure who used Supreme Magic Tool to suppress the immortal dragon soul and corpse aura within the Ancient Immortal Dragon Skeleton, preventing it from Corpse Transformation.
