Huff … Huff … Dang!
Eyes shining with excitement, Chu Xingyun brandished the shovel and quickly dug the soil on the ground.
Not long after, the shovel hit a hard object with a crisp sound.
He quickly bent down and pushed away the soil on the hard object. In the next moment … a thick green bone appeared in front of Chu Xingyun.
Hastily increasing his speed, Chu Xingyun quickly dug out the entire rune altar and stored it in a new wine jar.
However, this was no longer the second layer of the cave, but the third layer. The rune altar in the second layer of the cave of white bones had already been taken out yesterday evening.
With the addition of the third rune altar, Chu Xingyun had already collected three rune altars and stored them in three white jade wine jars.
After finally storing the third rune altar, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. The skeleton soldiers on the third layer were different from the ones on the second layer.
Not only were the blades in their hands longer and wider, the bone shields in their hands larger and thicker, but there was also an additional set of bone armor on their bodies. When the sword qi hit the armor, sparks flew, but it was difficult to cause any effective damage.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Skysplitter Sword had already been upgraded to an Emperor Weapon under the enhancement of the Rainbow Meteoric Metal, it would be difficult to break the armor of these skeleton generals even if he used the sharp blade to attack.
In order to quickly retrieve the third rune altar, Chu Xingyun had already avoided fighting as much as possible.
He had relied on the Transient Steps to directly charge through the first cavern hall on the third layer. Until now, there were still two to three hundred skeleton generals gathered there.
However, Chu Xingyun had guarded the entrance of the second cavern hall and had been forcefully tortured to death.
Not only did these skeleton generals possess sturdy and thick armor, but their strength had also reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Even Chu Xingyun found it incomparably difficult to deal with them.
If nothing unexpected happened, the skeleton soldiers below the third floor should be at the level of Martial Emperor. With Chu Xingyun's strength at the Sixth Sky of Nirvana Layer, it was not impossible for him to deal with them if he went all out. However, it was obvious that it was not worthwhile.
After all, regardless of whether it was a Skeletal Warrior, Skeletal Elite, or Skeletal General, they all required 300 strands of Spiritual Energy to condense a Class 3 Green Soul Bone.
Looking at the time, the third day had already passed. It was time to rush back to the Lilac sisters.
But today, Chu Xingyun didn't want to leave immediately. He had to test the skeleton soldiers on the fourth floor. He had to find out what realm they were at and how strong they were. Only then could he decide what to do tomorrow.
After making up his mind, Chu Xingyun ran all the way into the passage leading to the fourth floor.
It was still a spiral staircase that led downwards. When they reached the exit, Chu Xingyun waved his hand cautiously and activated the ability of the Heavenly Feather Raiment — Dimensional Travel.
Dimensional Travel and Instantaneous Steps were actually the same ability. The only difference was that the distance was greater.
If there was a Teleportation Spiritual Formation for positioning, the Dimensional Travel that came with the Heavenly Feather Raiment could even perform a super long distance space jump between stars.
After activating the Dimensional Travel, a constant Dimensional Door would open. Furthermore, it could exist for two hours. It would only be destroyed when someone successfully triggered it.
After activating the Dimensional Door, Chu Xingyun finally had some confidence. With this Dimensional Door, even if he couldn't defeat the skeleton soldiers on the fourth floor, he could still escape in time.
At the same time, Chu Xingyun activated the Qing Xuan Body and stepped into the passage leading to the fourth floor.
Bang Bang …
Just as he stepped into the passage, two heavy sounds came from afar. At the same time, two streaks of black light crossed time and space like lightning and shot towards Chu Xingyun's body.
He only had time to tilt his head and avoid one of the streaks of black light. However, he couldn't avoid the other arrow that was shot towards his chest.
Bang … Boom!
Although the Qing Xuan Body wasn't destroyed, under the violent force, Chu Xingyun was sent flying for more than ten meters before crashing into the wall of the cave.
Bang Bang …
Before Chu Xingyun could do anything, another two streaks of black light shot towards Chu Xingyun like lightning.
Chu Xingyun didn't dare to delay. He used the Instantaneous Steps three times in a row and returned to the Dimensional Door. Without saying anything, he entered the Dimensional Door.
From the moment he entered the passageway of the fourth floor to the moment he entered the Dimensional Gate in a sorry state, Chu Xingyun came and left in a hurry.
However, although the time was short, Chu Xingyun could still clearly see the situation on the fourth floor of the White Bone Cave.
Just as Chu Xingyun had predicted, the skeleton soldiers on the fourth floor were already at the level of Martial Emperor.
To be exact, they shouldn't be called skeleton soldiers. The ones on the fourth floor of the White Bone Cave should be called skeleton archers!
The skeleton archers at the level of Martial Emperor were too scary. Not only were the Black Bone Arrows extremely powerful, but their penetrative power was also shockingly strong. They almost pierced through Chu Xingyun's Qing Xuan Body.
It wasn't a big deal if they were just powerful and had a strong penetrative power. The key was that they were too fast. They were thirty to forty meters apart, and they were almost instantaneous. Even with Chu Xingyun's reaction, he couldn't dodge them in time and could only take them head-on.
A Martial Emperor was a Martial Emperor after all. His strength couldn't be compared to a Nirvana.
Until today, the only Martial Emperor level expert that Chu Xingyun could face alone was probably Ye Xueshang.
At that time, Ye Xueshang had lost the amplification of the Nine Coldness Formation and was hit by Chu Xingyun's Ancient Ghostly Pupil. Her realm and strength had dropped again and again. Compared to these skeleton archers, she was only on par with them.
Although Chu Xingyun's strength had increased a lot, it was because he didn't have the Black Hole and Manifestation of Nature by his side. Therefore, his strength was greatly reduced. He wasn't even as strong as when he fought against Ye Xueshang.
Therefore, it was still difficult for Chu Xingyun to fight against a Martial Emperor level expert alone, let alone two Martial Emperor level experts at the same time.
A Martial Emperor was a Martial Emperor. His strength was far from that of a Nirvana level expert.
In fact … the Five Great Academies all had Martial Emperors as their instructors. As the principals of the Four Emperors, although they occasionally held classes, those who were qualified to attend were all at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, or even those who were half a step away from the Martial Emperor level.
All in all, the current Chu Xingyun wasn't qualified to fight against a Martial Emperor. Although he could kill a Martial Emperor if he tried his best, it was undeniable that he was more likely to be killed by a Martial Emperor.
It was possible for those below the Nirvana level to fight against those at a higher realm. However, from the Martial Emperor level onwards, it was very difficult to do so, although it wasn't impossible.
Even Shui Liu Xiang, who had the Nine Coldness Terminal Meridians, could only stay in the circle of Nirvana level experts. She still wasn't a match for a Martial Emperor. Only when one reached the Martial Emperor level and fully activated his Blood Meridians could his strength skyrocket.
In fact, if one were to divide it roughly, one could completely divide the realm into three stages.
The first level was Nirvana level and below, the second level was Martial Emperor level, and the third level was Emperor level and above Emperor level!
