The Crystal Skeleton.
After Lu Sheng learned about this strange thing from his father, Pang Yuanjun, he had made all the necessary preparations to go to the Dust World.
In the beginning, he had been thinking about whether he could go or not, but after learning about the Crystal Skeleton, his interest in the Dust World had increased. Moreover, the Dust World also had a difference in the flow of time. This made him doubt whether the Dust World really belonged to this world.
In his many trips to the Other World, such an abnormal flow of time would only appear in different worlds and different space-times.
Time and space usually complemented each other in a normal universe. The change in space would also cause time to distort.
After more than three days of preparation, to prevent the Dust World from closing, Lu Sheng once again followed the cave ruins recorded by the Half-Devil Organization. He went deep into the Dust World for the second time.
"Whoosh!"
After leaping out of the cave for the second time, Lu Sheng looked into the distance from midair.
Before entering the pool, there was a vast plain around him. The plain did not seem to belong to this world. It was more like a transitional environment.
If it was not for the lack of time, he would have wanted to explore the world around the plain.
"Bam!"
As his body crashed into the bone-chilling water, Lu Sheng's body released a boiling hot aura. This was the terrifying heat that his incredibly powerful heart naturally released with every heartbeat after ascending to Martial Emperor.
If he did not intentionally restrain himself now, he would be a ferocious monster emitting a tremendous amount of Qi and blood.
This was the highest level of a Martial Emperor in this world.
Not only could he emit this terrifying aura, but he could also control the hot air that escaped from his pores.
Amidst the bubbling bubbles, Lu Sheng quickly swam into the underwater honeycomb-like tunnel.
He swam along the tunnel. After swimming for a few minutes, he suddenly sped up.
Soon, there was a splash, and he leaped out of the pool. He took a few steps on the surface of the water and used the momentum to land on the edge of the pool.
"It's still the same …" Lu Sheng looked left and right, but he did not find anything. Apart from white bones, there were more white bones.
The bone-chilling wind kept pouring in from the surroundings. There was no sign of life in the wind.
Lu Sheng's entire body was boiling hot. Soon, a large amount of white steam rose from his clothes.
After drying his clothes, he did not rush in the same direction as before. Instead, he casually ran in another direction with all his might.
The heavy footsteps continuously smashed into the ground, creating a terrifyingly deep pit with exaggerated diameters.
Lu Sheng was wearing a wide, hard cloak that had been specially prepared for this mission. After jumping up and grabbing the edge of the cloak, he could fly forward quickly like a glider.
This was a simple equipment made by Lu Sheng based on the principle of gliders on the earth.
It saved him a lot of energy.
After sprinting at full speed for several hundred kilometers, the monotonous and dull Sea of Bones finally had some changes.
Large tracts of grey whirlwinds started to fill the surrounding sky.
As soon as Lu Sheng entered the whirlwind, he immediately felt that there was a slight amount of hallucinogenic powder mixed in it.
"Toxic Wind?" He could not help but increase his speed. It took him more than half an hour to pass through the grey air current.
After another boring hour of rushing, Lu Sheng decided to set up a formation to return to the Demonic Realm if he did not see anything valuable.
Staying here was undoubtedly a waste of time.
Puff!
Suddenly, there was a faint puff sound coming from the large pile of bones in the distance. It sounded like a heavy quilt being patted on a hard concrete floor.
It was getting late. It was almost afternoon. The pale white rays of the sun had dimmed a lot.
Lu Sheng quickened his pace. It was not easy to find a new change. Of course, he had to hurry up and take a look.
After turning around a pile of bones, he quickly saw where the strange puff sound was coming from.
In front of him, there was a huge mountain of bones surrounded by greyish-white fog.
The surface of the mountain was covered with countless giant moths. Each of these moths was a few meters long. The longest one could even reach more than ten meters.
They slowly flapped their wings and crowded together. All of them stood on the mountain of bones.
From afar, the whole mountain of bones looked like it was completely covered with moths.
These moths constantly released a large amount of moth poison powder. The poison powder drifted with the wind and was occasionally swept away by the passing grey air current.
"So, this is how the poison in the wind came about?" Lu Sheng got closer and quickly discovered something fishy about the mountain of bones.
The mountain of bones under these moths was not a mess of ordinary bones. It was a complete skeleton of a strange giant with many tails on its head.
This giant was half-kneeling on the ground with its head lowered. There were many octopus tentacles on the back of its neck. There was also a greyish-white membrane connecting the bones of its body.
As Lu Sheng got closer, some of the moths were instantly startled. They slowly flapped their wings and flew up.
As they flew, Lu Sheng could see clearly that each of these moths had a greyish-white cocoon tied to their abdomen. There were humans of different sizes curled up in the cocoon.
These cocoons were wrapped by a large amount of spider silk-like threads and stuck to the abdomen of the moths. The people in the cocoons all had painful expressions on their faces.
The large number of moths covered the sky, almost blocking out the light in the sky. They quickly flew toward Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng grabbed a few bones on the ground with a backhand. The strength of his muscles suddenly exploded. The bone in his hand shot out like a giant boomerang.
"Pfft pfft pfft!!"
In the blink of an eye, a bone pierced through three giant moths and turned them into minced meat.
Lu Sheng stomped hard on the ground with his foot.
"Bam!!"
A large number of broken bones were sent flying by the huge force. Then, they were punched by Lu Sheng's head. The broken bones immediately exploded and scattered.
The broken bones were like hidden weapons raining down. They densely hit the moths in the sky. In an instant, a large number of them fell.
A large amount of greyish-white liquid rained down, corroding the bones below into holes of different sizes.
Lu Sheng did the same thing. He did it three times in a row, and killed all the moths in the sky.
He did not mind the air that was filled with poisonous powder. He leaped into the air and used the gaps in the ground where there was no liquid. Soon, he arrived at the huge mountain of bones that was covered with moths.
Lu Sheng stomped his feet. The ground gave off a solid sound.
'This mountain of bones is quite sturdy.'
He walked a few steps up the mountain of bones. At the top, Lu Sheng quickly discovered a metal block that clearly looked like a box.
The surface of the box was covered in rust. A silver image of a winged person was carved into the keyhole. It looked like a sinner who was suffering. Its body was wrapped in chains that were decorated with skulls.
Lu Sheng stood beside the chest and looked around him. He was still surrounded by a sea of bones that stretched as far as the eye could see.
'I can't finish exploring this place in a short time … What a pity.' He did not have much time left. He had already wasted a lot of time here. Since he could not find any Mental Energy, and he had fulfilled his karmic wish, it was time for him to set up a formation to return. Staying here would only be a waste of time.
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed the edge of the box. He pulled hard.
"Clang."
The box's lid was pulled open, revealing its contents.
On a layer of black velvet-like cloth, there was a gorgeous and exquisite dark-golden trident.
The trident looked more like a dagger or a short spike. It was only the size of a palm, and the handle was embedded with a large number of crushed diamonds and rubies. It looked dazzling, and at the same time, unbearably vulgar.
The other parts, such as the side of the blade, were carved with intricate patterns that resembled vines. They added a mysterious aura to the weapon.
'There seems to be something down there.' Lu Sheng picked up the trident and sensed it. This was a very ordinary weapon. Perhaps there were faint traces of special energy left behind in the past. However, after a long time, it had completely lost its original might. It had devolved into an extremely ordinary weapon.
Lu Sheng took out the black velvet-like cloth from the box. He immediately saw a small booklet hidden under the velvet-like cloth.
He picked up the booklet. He could clearly feel that the booklet was not made of paper. It seemed to be made of some animal's skin.
The paper was soft and fine. It had a slight toughness similar to bast paper.
The paper was filled with words and symbols that looked like scribbles. He could not understand them at all. Lu Sheng tossed it into his Sea-overturning Orb and kept it for now. He would translate it when he had the time.
The box was empty. He was not in the mood to waste any more time here.
He immediately took out the formation materials from his Sea-overturning Orb and started setting up a simple formation on the peak of this bone mountain.
Black crystals pierced into the ground of the bone mountain with Lu Sheng's movements. Soon, they formed a simple illusory formation.
With the formation's concealment and protection, he began to carve the return formation.
Under Bansai's optimization, the returning formation was divided into many parts. All he needed to do was to carve the veined patterns that linked these parts together.
Compared to before, his efficiency had more than doubled.
This was also the key reason why Lu Sheng valued Bansai so much.
About half an hour later, the formation was completed. Lu Sheng reached out and stabbed the last black crystal into the ground. He completed the final energy supply for the formation.
Then, he slowly sighed in relief. He looked around again.
The moths' corpses that he had killed earlier were now covered in a layer of grayish-white silk webs. The webs formed something like a membrane that completely covered the corpses.
For some reason, Lu Sheng could faintly sense that these corpses seemed to have shrunk slightly.
"It's like they're digesting …" He could not help but think of the abyss. The colossal life form was doing the same. It was digesting the lives that had died in its body.
"Forget it. I'll leave it for now."
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the center of the formation. He had left a backup plan for the Green Dew Altar. Even if he was not around, his subordinates who were inspired by his charisma would protect Pang Yuanjun and Tang Qingqing with all their might.
Moreover, he had set up a few more hidden ones. As long as nothing happened to the Green Dew Altar, they would not be triggered.
Before entering the Dust World, he had sensed the presence of a new pair of life forms in Tang Qingqing's womb. His initial guess was that they were twins.
