Xie Feng and Yue Heng pushed open the door and entered, arriving at an even deeper and darker cave.
Looking around, there were slippery cave walls, a high and spacious cave ceiling, and an endless expanse of blackness.
On the cave wall, there is a raven-shaped carving. The carving is very light and almost invisible unless you look closely.
Xie Feng glanced at it briefly, paying it no mind.
The two walked forward.
Xie Feng felt a slightly strange sensation under his feet; it was soft, slippery, and seemed to be moving around.
He lowered his head.
"Snake!"
Yue Heng noticed it too, and she said in a deep voice.
The two of them were standing on black snakes!
Countless black snakes intertwined, forming a road leading to infinity!
Hiss...
The black snakes let out a horrifying sound, staring intently at Xie Feng and his companion. Their emerald green pupils resembled countless eerie will-o'-the-wisps, sending chills down one's spine.
The Black Serpent Path is suspended in mid-air!
Below them lies a bottomless, pitch-black abyss!
Even a being at the Ten Thousand Ages Realm would be shattered to pieces and never recover if they fell into the abyss!
Xie Feng calmed himself, his gaze steady, and said, "As long as we walk normally and don't disturb these black snakes, we'll be fine."
Yue Heng nodded. "That's right!"
They stopped paying attention to the entwined snakes and focused solely on walking forward, which was indeed as easy as walking on flat ground.
Keep moving forward.
After an unknown amount of time, the Black Serpent Path came to an end.
Ahead lies another abyss!
Xie Feng stared into the abyss, and the abyss stared back at him.
A faint ripple spread across the abyss, its shape resembling a gigantic eye, silently and eerily staring at the sky, staring at Xie Feng...
" The Emperor Corpse Tomb lives up to its name; it is indeed quite eerie!" When Yue Heng saw the eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine for no reason, so she stopped looking!
"Look ahead!" Xie Feng suddenly said with a serious expression.
"That is..."
Yue Heng looked ahead, somewhat surprised, "Aerial chains?!"
High in the air in front of them, a thick iron chain swayed and floated precariously, but because of the extreme darkness, the two did not notice it at first.
One end of the chain connected to the Black Serpent Road, and the other end linked to a high platform. Suddenly, candlelight flickered on the platform, and by its light, Xie Feng saw a giant serpent statue standing on it.
The giant serpent was sculpted from black stone and was enormous. It coiled its body like a serpent king, with a mysterious stone sphere on its head.
Yue Heng squinted. "There are words on the stone ball!"
Xie Feng activated his Void Heaven Spirit Eyes, his gaze piercing through the darkness to see an extremely tiny line of words above the stone. "The snake has a spirit, the stone sphere opens!"
Yue Heng frowned. "Is this a spell, or a prayer?"
Xie Feng said, "Perhaps it's a method left by our predecessors to open the stone sphere."
Yue Heng murmured, "The snake has a spirit, the stone sphere will open... If I'm not mistaken, we need to infuse this giant snake statue with spirituality so that the stone sphere can be opened!"
Xie Feng said, "I've sensed it. There's a huge amount of energy hidden inside the stone sphere, which seems to be related to the magnetic field you mentioned earlier!"
"How should we do it? Inject it with Origin Power? This statue is so huge, if we were to irrigate it with energy, it would consume a lot of a person's Origin Power... We need to find something with strong and abundant energy to irrigate it!" Yue Heng analyzed.
" Cloud Dream Sea!" Xie Feng was the first to think of this.
"It's worth a try!" Yue Heng nodded in agreement.
Xie Feng gazed at the giant serpent statue, then with a flick of his sleeve, space cracked open, drawing in the surging Cloud Dream Sea to irrigate the statue!
A moment later.
The statue absorbed the surging energy from the seawater, emitting strange fluctuations!
Its body was slowly wriggling!
brush!
The giant serpent statue opened its eyes.
Golden light illuminated the entire space in that instant.
Golden Eyes!
The ultimate energy burst forth, and with a cracking sound, the stone sphere above the black snake's head split open, revealing a white skeleton sitting cross-legged!
The skeleton was entirely grayish-white, with its hands resting on its knees, and a small golden sword inscription on its forehead that was now gleaming faintly.
Silent and profound, yet deeply moving.
" Sword Skeleton!"
"This is the legendary Sword Skeleton from the Origin Realm. Under normal circumstances, it is formed hundreds of thousands of years after the death of countless Indestructible Realm experts. All of these experts were sword cultivators!"
" Sword Skeleton are extremely rare; this is the only one I've ever seen in my life. Sword Skeleton can be tamed into puppets, and once they recognize a master, they will share the same lifespan! If the master falls, the sword skeleton will fall with him!"
"What's even more terrifying is that his strength increases along with his master's, and he's always ten times stronger than his master!"
Yue Heng had amazing eyesight and recognized him instantly.
This is really good stuff!
Having him is like having a second version of yourself!
Be ten times stronger than yourself!
Xie Feng was deeply moved!
Yue Heng said, " Xiao Xie, go and subdue him quickly!"
Xie Feng said modestly, "Um, Senior Sister, you're my only Senior Sister, you go first!"
Yue Heng rolled his eyes and laughed, "You're such a hypocrite! I knew you were interested a long time ago, so stop being so polite and go!"
Xie Feng smiled and walked forward. Just then, a gust of cold wind swept in, and a burly figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
" The Sword Skeleton belongs to me!"
A massive black shadow loomed over, creating an extreme sense of oppression.
A voice as loud as thunder!
This is a tall man!
He was dressed in black armor, with a black and blue raven feather cloak, his eyes were cold, his eyebrows were long and his sideburns were spiky, and he held a dirty compass in his hand.
As he appeared, a fierce wind swept through, and an aura of desolation and Curse slowly dissipated!
He appeared before Xie Feng, coldly staring at him, asserting his dominance, "I believe that you must have passed through a passage I dug to get here. There are markings I made on that passage, don't you know that?"
"Marked? Black moss?"
"No!"
"A poorly drawn crow?"
"..."
The man was speechless for a moment.
He retorted angrily, "A crow is a crow, why say it's ugly? Is my painting skill really that bad?"
Xie Feng thought about the messy mark and nodded sincerely, "I'm a very honest person, if I say it's ugly, then it's ugly!"
man. "..."
Yue Heng cut to the chase. "Who are you? You claim the Sword Skeleton is yours, what proof do you have?"
The man sneered, "This is what I unearthed! Thank you for solving my troublesome stone sphere problem!"
Xie Feng sneered, "You say the Sword Skeleton is yours? Sorry, the entire Emperor Corpse Tomb is mine!"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing more, and suddenly unleashed a powerful palm strike!
The heavens and earth trembled, and ten thousand snakes were startled!
Yue Heng said, " The Indestructible Realm!"
Xie Feng quickly regained his composure, his palms clenched slightly, and wisps of Northern Nether Extreme Dao Fire swirled around him.
Just then!
A figure clad in black robes appeared out of nowhere!
"Oh!"
A stunning palm print erupted from the black-clad man's palm!
It shot towards the man!
