Yi Yun vaguely heard a dull sound that sounded like the sound of wind coming from the cave.
As Yi Yun continued walking deeper, the sound turned clearer. Yi Yun also realized that it did not sound like the sound of wind.
Badump! Badump!
It was the sound of a heartbeat.
As Yi Yun looked at the cave, he suddenly felt that the mountain had a life of its own.
This discovery left Yi Yun shuddering. He hurriedly came to the side of the mountain wall and carefully observed it.
Accompanied by the mountain's heartbeat, Yi Yun discovered that beneath the stalactites, there were white veins.
And these white veins were gigantic bones.
The more Yi Yun looked at it, the more alarmed he became. The entire cave was actually propped up by a skeleton. The skeleton had transformed into the mountain after its death, and its body had transformed into a vast cave.
The bones of the behemoths that were scattered inside were nothing compared to the size of the skeleton.
They might have been prey that had been devoured by the skeleton's previous incarnation. It was even possible that this was the skeleton's stomach.
The skeleton had transformed into a mountain after its death, but one could still hear the terrifying heartbeat while walking inside.
If there was really a Fey God buried here, it was probably this skeleton.
Yi Yun stood in front of the mountain wall and looked up at the snow-white bones. The bones were vibrating gently along with the heartbeat. It was unbelievable that a skeleton could still exude the aura of life after death.
At that moment, a black shadow suddenly charged out of the Blood Fey Bone and pounced at the skeleton.
The black shadow was extremely fast, almost like a bolt of lightning.
And if Yi Yun were to discover its intentions, it would be too late to stop it.
But just as the black shadow charged a hundred feet away, it suddenly let out a tragic cry. As though it had slammed into an invisible barrier, it bounced back heavily as its body immediately turned more illusory.
At the same time, laws sealed the black shadow's surroundings. The black shadow darted left and right, but it constantly slammed into the laws. It constantly let out tragic cries as its body turned more and more dispirited.
"Yi Yun, what did you do to me?" screamed the black shadow.
Yi Yun looked at the black shadow and revealed a mocking look. "This is indeed your true goal. You can't enter the cave, so you want me to bring you here. You were worried that if you said it was a cave, I would be suspicious, so you deliberately didn't mention it. Instead, you brought me nearby and let me discover it myself. "
"That's right, I can't enter the cave. I've already done what I could, but you still won't let me go? "The black shadow asked angrily.
"You are not the Blood Fey Bone at all. This mountain is a manifestation of the Blood Fey Bone. If you are the Blood Fey Bone, why can't you enter your own corpse?" asked Yi Yun with a sneer.
"You've suspected me for a long time?" The shadow's tone turned gloomy. It was not surprising that Yi Yun had guessed that the white bone in the wall was the Blood Fey Bone, but Yi Yun had clearly been wary of it. Furthermore, the seal had hidden clues that even the shadow itself had failed to detect. It had clearly been repeatedly probed.
"However, why did you say that I'm not the Blood Fey Bone? The Blood Fey Bone is in your hands. You can compare it to this skeleton, "said the shadow immediately.
"There's no need for comparison. I'm not saying that this bone is not a part of the Blood Fey Bone. However, you are not a sentient being born from the Blood Fey Bone. Instead, you are a soul that is attached to the bone. For you to be able to attach yourself to the Blood Fey Bone, even if it's just a tiny portion of the Blood Fey Bone, it means that your strength isn't bad. Who are you? "asked Yi Yun.
The shadow fell silent for a moment. Yi Yun had already guessed its background.
Soon, the shadow's faceless face gradually revealed facial features. He was a middle-aged man with extremely long eyebrows that looked extremely sinister.
"You are right. I was originally a warrior, and I was once a Royal Sealed Divine Lord. Consider it my bad luck that I ended up in the hands of a junior like you. "The middle-aged man's face revealed a hateful look.
After he perished in the Fey God Tomb, only his Essence Soul had managed to escape. Then, he discovered a tiny piece of bone. It was likely that the bone had been washed out by the blood river after it fell off the massive skeleton.
After discovering the tiny piece of bone, he immediately decided to attach himself to it. However, if he did not happen to be proficient in an engulfment law, he would probably have been devoured the moment he attached himself to it. Even if his Essence Soul remained, his intelligence would probably be in chaos.
After successfully attaching himself to the tiny piece of bone, the middle-aged man sensed the location of the true Blood Fey Bone through it.
This tiny piece of Blood Fey Bone gave him immense strength. It gave him another cultivation path as a remnant soul. If he could obtain the true Blood Fey Bone, his future strength would definitely exceed that of a former Royal Sealed Divine Lord.
This was just too tempting for him. Apart from absorbing blood essence to strengthen himself in the Fey God Tomb, all he could think of was the true Blood Fey Bone.
However, with his strength, he was unable to enter the cave.
He had planned on using Nameless Sword to temporarily leave the Fey God Tomb and return to obtain the Blood Fey Bone once he was stronger.
But now, he had fallen into Yi Yun's hands. He knew that Yi Yun would not spare him after taking him out of the Fey God Tomb. All he could do was lure Yi Yun here. He never imagined that Yi Yun would really be able to enter the cave. If Yi Yun could not enter, he would find an opportunity to escape into the blood river. Yet, Yi Yun had managed to enter.
At the instant he entered the cave, the middle-aged man's excitement nearly gave him away. He had managed to enter the Blood Fey Bone just like that. It was truly effortless for him.
However, his excitement did not last long. Yi Yun slapped him ruthlessly in the face, sending him back to the cruel reality.
"You were once a Royal Sealed Divine Lord? Then you sure have led a tragic life. " Yi Yun shook his head. The person had perished in the Fey God Tomb and no one had even collected his corpse. He had probably been reduced to a pile of bones somewhere.
However, he was considered mentally handicapped. All that was left of him was an Essence Soul, yet he still wished to live on as a skeleton.
"Tragic? If I can obtain the Blood Fey Bone, what's the harm in abandoning a mere body? "The middle-aged man let out a tragic laugh. His promising future had been destroyed by Yi Yun.
"This Blood Fey Bone is indeed not bad. Thank you for leading the way. I won't stand on ceremony. As for you … it's best you return to your soul and return to earth, "said Yi Yun with a smile.
At the brink of death, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Wait! I was originally from the Great Cosmic State. If you spare me, I can get the Great Cosmic State to give you treasures that will satisfy you. I even have cultivation techniques. I can even tell you where I'm buried … "
He tried his best to list as many benefits as he could, hoping to move Yi Yun.
Although the loss of the Blood Fey Bone left him disheartened, it was still better than being reduced to ash.
"Great Cosmic State?" Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Yi Yun had a strange look on his face.
"That's right! I'm from the Great Cosmic State, "said the middle-aged man hurriedly with a nod when he saw something that finally piqued Yi Yun's interest.
"Oh? Then do you know Li Fire?" asked Yi Yun.
"Li Fire? I naturally know him. He's my junior brother. Since you know Li Fire Divine Lord, you should know that I'm not lying. As long as you bring me to him, he will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. " The middle-aged man saw a glimmer of hope. Yi Yun's expression changed when he mentioned Li Fire. It was as though he was very familiar with Li Fire Divine Lord.
Yi Yun was not from the Great Cosmic State. For him to know Li Fire Divine Lord meant that Li Fire Divine Lord had also come to the ancient battlefield. Perhaps, Yi Yun would feel apprehensive or have other ideas.
If he could obtain the help of a Royal Sealed Divine Lord, Yi Yun would have a greater chance of leaving his name in the ancient battlefield.
"Bring you to him? Alright then. "Yi Yun's expression turned odd. Immediately, the Heretical God Fire ignited in his hand.
The middle-aged man's body jolted. He sensed a terrifying power from the tiny flame. He looked at Yi Yun and had an ominous feeling. "Yi Yun, what's the meaning of this?"
"What's the meaning of this? Weren't you the one who wanted me to bring you to Li Fire? That's why I'm preparing to send you to hell, "said Yi Yun.
"Li Fire is dead?" The middle-aged man was taken aback. Following that, he looked at Yi Yun in disbelief. "Could it be that you killed Li Fire? You … Ah! "
Before the middle-aged man finished his sentence, he let out a shrill scream.
His soul was enveloped by the Heretical God Fire. Amidst the terrifying flames, his soul was being melted bit by bit. The pain was even more intense than when he sucked the warriors dry.
Gradually, the middle-aged man's soul body was completely burned to ashes by the Heretical God Fire. He had survived for an unknown number of years by relying on his soul body, but in the end, he was burned to nothingness by a tiny flame right in front of the Blood Fey Bone he desired the most.
After vanquishing the middle-aged man, the tiny Blood Fey Bone in Yi Yun's hand immediately lost its sinister aura. Gradually, it began to deteriorate. But when Yi Yun raised the Blood Fey Bone in front of the mountain wall, the Blood Fey Bone gradually resonated with the massive Blood Fey skeleton.
The Blood Fey Bone's aura began to change. Later on, it began to emit an aura of life.
Yi Yun was astounded as he held the Blood Fey Bone in hand. He had never seen such potent lifeblood powers anywhere else.
Yi Yun did not discover any evil spirits in the cave. He guessed that the natural array formation prevented any evil spirits from entering. Therefore, there was no danger in the cave, the source of the blood river.
Yi Yun continued walking along the skeleton's veins. The deeper he went, the clearer the heartbeat became. Eventually, he felt like he was standing in the skeleton's heart.
And at that moment, Yi Yun suddenly saw a milky-white pool appear in front of him.
The loud heartbeat was coming from the pool.
