Other than the giant skulls at the front of the nine arms, Skeleton Dragon did not seem to have a head. But dozens of transparent tentacles extended out of its round body, presenting a bruised, swollen, and twisted face to everyone.
It was Wang Ji!
Wang Ji's face had expanded to almost ten times its original size. It was as soft as a flattened meat bun, as if all the bones on his face had been smashed into pieces and reassembled randomly. His expression was quite weird.
Deep inside his hollow eye sockets, the agony of being unable to die was beaming out. But his lips were curling upward, as if an uncanny force was forcing him to put on a smile that was even uglier than crying.
His body had vanished, leaving only his face, which was laughing vaguely while the tentacles were extending and retracting.
"Wang Ji!"
Almost ten demons were still alive. Seeing that 'Wang Ji' had shown up in a brand-new form, they did not know what was going on. But they had all sensed the overwhelming demonic energy from Skeleton Dragon. Overjoyed, they all drew close to it.
When they were a hundred meters away from Skeleton Dragon, their hands and feet were twisted in a weird way, just like Wang Ji just now. They did not even have the time to scream before they were tied up by the transparent tentacles and absorbed into Skeleton Dragon's body!
The most disgusting thing happened!
Skeleton Dragon's body was highly corrosive. The flesh and blood of the eight demons, as well as the biochemical beasts on them, was sucked dry in the blink of an eye. The remaining shells and bones floated to the surface of the body, making the skeleton armor that covered its entire body even more precise and hideous!
After swallowing the flesh and blood of eight demons in a row, 'Wang Ji' let out a sigh of satisfaction. Skeleton Dragon's body size doubled, and the suffocating aura was even more intense than before!
Li Yao was sweating hard. He vaguely realized that 'Skeleton Dragon' was probably not a dragon-type demon beast.
Its true form. It should be some sort of weird, mollusk-type demon beast, such as a super poisonous jellyfish or a giant squid!
No wonder its abode was hidden in an underground silver sea!
As for its greatest divine ability, it was It could devour other living beings and refine their skeletons into strange battle armors. It could protect its soft body.
Its nine skeletal arms all had a huge skull at the very front. Presumably, these were nine powerful demonic beasts that had also become its sacrificial victims.
If that was the case, the weird barrier on the surface of Boneyard and the skeleton of a dragon-type demon beast would be much easier to explain.
Come to think of it, it was a Flood Dragon type monster that was hundreds of meters long. It was a victim captured by Skeleton Dragon. However, because of its enormous size, it could not be swallowed directly. Therefore, Skeleton Dragon had trapped it in the barrier and cooked it slowly.
Or maybe, they would refine its bones with all kinds of secret arts and fuse them into Skeleton Dragon's body when they were invincible!
"This kind of life form is truly too terrifying. No wonder during the Battle of the Demon Emperors forty thousand years ago, the Demon Emperors of the Demon Emperors were so powerful. Skeleton Dragon is one of the earliest ancient demons to be eliminated. "
"It's not necessarily because it's not strong enough. I'm afraid that the other Ancient Demons are afraid of such a terrifying life form and joined forces to suppress it!"
"At this moment, it has just awakened from tens of thousands of years of silence. This is the time when you are at your weakest! "
"I have to destroy it. Otherwise, it will be too late!"
"If it swallows a lot of spiritual beasts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on Boneyard and recovers to its peak state — no, as long as it recovers by 10% — it will be a catastrophe for the Tian Yuan Realm!"
Li Yao made up his mind. His eyes turned sharp again.
Skeleton Dragon's soft body was wriggling under the control of the transparent tentacles. On Wang Ji's twisted face, there was a strange glow. It emitted a demonic glow, and the indistinct laughter gradually became clearer. In the end, it turned into an ancient accent as it mumbled to itself.
"Forty thousand years … I didn't expect this. I've been sleeping for forty thousand years!
"The Demon Beast Empire has been destroyed? Hahahaha. Good job! Good job! But I wonder if the bloodline descendants of the demons who competed with me for the throne of the demon emperor are all dead!
"Oh? The Cultivators have reappeared. Human beings have risen again and occupied most of the Sectors? Very good. Very good. Human beings are the most delicious food. Their tiny bodies contain powerful souls. They are even more delicious than demon beasts hundreds of meters long!
"Crystal Suit? What's that? Is it using strengthened external skeletons to improve its combat ability, just like I did? "
The more Li Yao listened, the more frightened he became.
He had planned to deal with Skeleton Dragon by taking advantage of its ignorance after forty thousand years of hibernation. But from the looks of it, it was able to absorb knowledge and memories directly from the brains of the creatures it had swallowed!
Right now, it knew as much as Wang Ji and the other demons!
A moment later, the smile on 'Wang Ji''s big face was even more brilliant. Sharpness was gradually condensed in the hollow eyes, which pierced Li Yao and the other Cultivators.
Everyone felt that their hearts had been pierced through in the blink of an eye.
"Blood Demon Sector? Tian Yuan Realm? "
"There are thousands of Cultivators and billions of creatures on a single planet! As long as I swallow all of them, I will be able to recover at least thirty percent of my strength! "
Li Yao's heart almost stopped beating. The most dreadful thing had happened.
Skeleton Dragon had retrieved information about the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector from the memories of Wang Ji and the other demons.
They were the two Sectors closest to Boneyard.
In twenty days, the Tian Yuan Realm would launch a new star shuttle to Boneyard.
As long as Skeleton Dragon swallowed a Cultivator, it would be able to retrieve their memories, learn how to operate a star shuttle, and go to the Tian Yuan Realm!
"Ahhh!"
Right then, an abrupt change took place. An Orb Patroller of Team Thunder Soul suddenly shrieked and waved his hands and feet crazily.
He had been tied up by Skeleton Dragon's transparent tentacles!
"Watch out!"
It was not until then that Li Yao discovered that countless transparent tentacles had appeared around them and interweaved into a giant net. The last few cracks were about to close!
"We've been fooled!"
"Skeleton Dragon is not an idiot. It didn't need to talk to itself and tell us everything!"
"It's trying to draw our attention to it so that it can extend its tentacles to us!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth. He turned into a streak of brightness and dashed to the front of the waving Cultivator. He bellowed and ignited his soul. His hands were almost squeezing the handle of the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber into pieces.
With the enhancement of the last part of the Ares Extension, the aura of the saber was extended to twenty meters long. It was as unstoppable as a solar storm!
"Shua!"
A perfect, bloody arc was drawn from the bottom to the top. One of the transparent tentacles was cut in half from the middle!
Skeleton Dragon had just woken up. It was the weakest moment of its life. The tentacle suddenly shrank when it felt the pain, revealing its weakness for half a second.
The Cultivators had been awed by its weird appearance. Their alertness had been raised. Reminded by Li Yao, they noticed the transparent tentacles around them and dodged in time before they were tied up.
The five members of Team Blue Bronze sent a lot of information to the crystal processors of the other two Star Teams.
"Skeleton Dragon has woken up!"
"It is trying to swallow our homeland to recover its strength!"
"We have to stop it!"
All the Cultivators realized immediately that Skeleton Dragon was the most dreadful demon they had ever seen.
Right now, it had just woken up and was at its weakest. This was their only chance to destroy it.
If it was not destroyed right now, the Tian Yuan Realm would be doomed!
"Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! "
'Shell 'Leng Ziming was the first to take action. Countless streaks of gold brilliance rushed out of every corner of his body and darted toward Skeleton Dragon in thousands of beautiful golden arcs that interweaved and changed their trajectories!
All the other Cultivators also activated their most powerful long-range magical equipment. Flying swords, mystic rays, and crystal cannons rushed forward like thousands of rainbows and enshrouded Skeleton Dragon entirely!
Skeleton Dragon burst into laughter in the middle of the bombardment. The bright silver skeleton armor around its body triggered silver waves and offset most of the attacks. Its jelly-like body generated a weird attraction force. When the magical equipment pierced into its body through the gaps between the bones, the connection between the magical equipment and its owner would be completely lost.
Bullets, flying daggers, and flying swords were all absorbed by it!
Li Yao was dumbfounded. It was not until then that he noticed that dozens of magical equipment were hidden inside Skeleton Dragon's almost transparent body.
Judging from their antique appearance, they were all ancient magical equipment from forty thousand years ago.
Its body was a moving warehouse of magical equipment!
"Are you kidding me? This monster can even swallow magical equipment?"
"Its body is covered in a bright silver skeleton armor refined with secret techniques, which can resist most of the damage.
"Even if it can't resist the damage, the broken skeleton will not do any harm to it. It can always change a new bone.
"But its body is made of soft tissues with super high flexibility. No matter how powerful the attacks are, the damage will be greatly reduced.
"How are we going to fight it?"
Li Yao was not a man who would give up easily. Although he was soaked in cold sweat by the formidability of Skeleton Dragon, he still narrowed his eyes and observed carefully.
His eyelids twitched. He seemed to have grasped something.
Skeleton Dragon seemed to be arrogant enough to let everybody attack it freely and swallow the magical equipment one after another.
But when the skeleton armor on other parts of its body was broken, it simply turned a blind eye to it. Only when the skeleton armor at the center of its round body was broken, the soft tissues wriggled quickly and transported new bones to fill it up, as if it was concerned about the attack at the center of its body.
At the center of its body, the red brightness that was pulsating like a heart was blinking along with Skeleton Dragon's wriggling body.
For the flying swords and bullets that pierced deep into Skeleton Dragon's body, even if there was still a distance between them, the red brightness would shrink abruptly and assume a defensive posture as if it were faced with a great enemy.
Li Yao suddenly realized something. The red brightness was Skeleton Dragon's weakness!
"Don't attack separately. The skeleton is not its body. It won't change anything even if you smash it. The red brightness at the center of its body is its fatal weakness!"
