Lord of Bones

Chapter 718 Past Experience
“Once you are imprisoned in my Yuyuan Cangqiong, your cultivation will plummet.

"Even if you escape, it will take at least half a century for you to recover."

The deep roar of the giant golden bird continued to echo between heaven and earth.

The ghost-faced man's face was hidden beneath the mask, only his deep eyes flashed with determination, indomitable spirit and fear.

Faced with a blow that could be said to determine his fate, the ghost-faced man quickly formed seals with his hands as if he was traveling through the void.

"Texture Technique: Ink Wind Splits the Sky!"

As he chanted in a low and powerful voice, the pitch-black tornadoes surrounding him were pulled by an invisible force, forming several layers of black wind shields.

Then, complex and mysterious elemental patterns emerged in the void in front of him, blending and surging, and finally releasing astonishing energy.

At this moment, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and countless inky wind blades that were powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth appeared out of thin air.

These wind blades were extremely huge, each one was hundreds of feet long, like a giant inky dragon soaring in the sky, or like sharp blades condensed into clouds, rushing towards the dazzling golden ball of fire.

"Boom——"

There was a deafening roar, and the sky and the earth shook.

The golden flame ball and the inky wind blade cloud collided violently in the air, shattering the void.

Endless energy fluctuations raged like a tsunami, submerging everything around it in chaos.

At the moment of the two clashing, although the ink-black wind blade was ferocious, it seemed powerless in front of the solid seal of the golden flame ball.

They were like candles in a strong wind. Although they struggled hard, they were ultimately unable to withstand the terrifying power coming from the Yuan Beast bloodline.

In just a moment, the inky wind blades exploded one after another, turning into specks of black light and dissipating into nothingness.

After experiencing a round of fierce impact, although the surface of the golden flame ball was slightly dim, the indestructible sealing power was not diminished at all. It ruthlessly penetrated the several layers of black wind shields carefully arranged by the ghost-faced man with a devastating force.

"Bang bang——"

Every time a layer of wind shield was broken, there was a dull roar.

In the end, the golden flame ball swallowed up the ghost-faced man and the space around him, trapping him firmly in the cage of golden flames.

Faced with a desperate situation, the ghost-faced man did not choose to sit and wait for death, but instead burst out with unprecedented ferocity.

"Texture Technique: Shadow Etching!"

He roared, and the energy in his body was like boiling lava, condensing and compressing madly, and finally turned into a thin and sharp black beam of light, piercing through the void and pointing directly at the golden flame ball energy shield that imprisoned him.

The black beam not only possesses all the power and will of the ghost-faced man, but also contains his desire for freedom and struggle against fate.

The bright light penetrated the surface of the golden flame ball, and the black beam touched the indestructible energy shield.

The terrifying energy concentrated at one point and exploded. Suddenly, an extremely deep shadow mark appeared on the energy shield of the golden flame ball.

The mark was like a black hole, constantly devouring the surrounding light and energy, gradually expanding until it corroded a hole half a foot in size.

Although the hole was small, it was enough for the ghost-faced man to escape.

Without any hesitation, the ghost-faced man seized the fleeting opportunity, struggled violently, like a cheetah breaking free from its restraints, and instantly tore through the void.

The next moment, the void more than a thousand feet away from the golden fireball shook violently, and the figure of the ghost-faced man slowly appeared, but his condition was much worse than before.

His face was as pale as paper, with a glaring streak of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and the pressure of his cultivation around him dropped sharply.

Without stopping for a moment, the ghost-faced man tore through the void again, and his figure flashed in the sky several times in succession, each time accompanied by the distortion and fragmentation of space.

Finally, his figure completely disappeared into the sky.

With his departure, everything seemed silent.

The golden flaming ball was still hanging in the air, but its light had become much dimmer and was gradually dissipating.

After making sure that the ghost-faced man had completely disappeared, the golden feathers of the giant golden bird that was originally hanging high in the sky, majestic and inviolable, gradually turned into gold and red.

The huge body then rapidly shrank, and with a flow of light, it finally transformed into a blonde woman in golden armor. She staggered, looked exhausted, and fell rapidly from a high altitude.

Li Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this, and the wings of thunder and flame behind him spread out with a bang. Arcs of electricity jumped on the wings, like the god of thunder descending, and with a sudden flap of his wings, the space was torn apart.

Almost in an instant, he crossed a distance of thousands of feet, came to Cangyu's side, and took him into his arms without hesitation.

Feeling her weak and disordered breath, Li Yuan's heart sank.

Afterwards, Li Yuan tapped the air with his toes and rushed out of the villa with Cangyu, leaving behind a dazzling trail of lightning and flames.

"Xiaoyaoyao!"

While flying, Li Yuan shouted towards the cave in the mountain wall deep in the villa, penetrating through numerous obstacles and reaching the cave.

"Rumble--"

What responded to him was a roar that shook the earth.

On the mountain wall, the stone door that Li Yuan had punched open now shattered like fragile porcelain, with rubble and smoke scattering everywhere, blocking the view for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure nearly a hundred feet tall suddenly rushed out of the cave accompanied by a deafening roar of a beast.

It was a strange giant beast with a deer head, a horse body, phoenix wings, and nine fox tails, called Jiuhuanyuan.

Its body is surrounded by dozens of crystal clear, faintly visible magic bamboos.

Each section exudes a soft and mysterious light, adding a touch of otherworldly temperament to it.

Jiu Huanyuan was so fast that he caught up with Li Yuan and Cangyu in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuan decisively folded the Thunder Flame Wings behind him and landed steadily on Jiuhuanyuan's broad back.

The huge head twisted slowly, its huge eyes full of concern, and it looked down at Cang Yu in Li Yuan's arms, and said in a low and anxious voice: "What happened to her? Is her life in danger?"

Li Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that his energy is exhausted and his old injuries relapsed, so he is temporarily unconscious.

“We must leave this troubled place as soon as possible and find a safe place for her to recover.”

As Jiuhuanyuan flew, the surrounding scenery unfolded like a painting.

Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas passed by under his feet, but Li Yuan's heart was closely tied to Cangyu in his arms.

Jiuhuanyuan's wings flapped like two huge sickles, cutting through the void, accompanied by the sound of breaking air.

His entire body turned into a ray of emerald green light, rising straight into the sky, and in an instant, disappeared at the end of the sky.

.........

In the magnificent room, light shines through the exquisite window lattices, casting mottled shadows, which complement the intricate carved decorations in the room.

The blonde woman lay quietly on the bed with carvings of dragons and phoenixes and an ancient charm.

Her blonde hair shimmered softly in the dim light, matching the glorious scene all around her.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be stars flowing in her golden pupils, instantly lighting up the entire room.

The light contains both the confusion of just waking up and a power and majesty that cannot be ignored.

She slowly sat up, with an irresistible grace, and looked around with her beautiful eyes, taking in everything around her, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. At this moment, a half-foot-tall little man appeared out of thin air at the edge of the bed.

The little man was dressed in emerald green clothes, looking particularly smart and cute. He smiled at the blonde woman with golden eyes and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Cangyu, you're awake!
"how do you feel?"

Cang Yu looked at this little man who suddenly appeared, with many questions in his mind, and his words revealed a bit of caution: "Who are you? Why are you here? How do you know me?"

The little guy touched his head and said with a smile: "I am Yuan Yao, you can also call me Li Yuan Yao.

"As for why I know you, hey, the reason is a long story."

She blinked, as if she was deliberately keeping someone in suspense.

"Are you and Li Yuan together?" Cangyu seemed to remember something and asked.

"It's really boring." Yuan Yao nodded slightly, "I am also a Yuan beast, the Nine Illusion Abyss."

When mentioning Jiuhuanyuan, Cangyu's eyes instantly became sharp.

In her bloodline inheritance memory, Jiuhuanyuan is an ancient and cunning existence, afraid of the strong bullying the weak, afraid of thunder and lightning, and sleepy...

However, the little guy in front of him seemed very different from the Jiuhuanyuan in his memory. He was very smart and cute.

"Are you Jiuhuanyuan?" Cangyu's tone was filled with surprise and confusion, "In my memory, Jiuhuanyuan can transform, but his size is far from this..."

When Yuan Yao heard this, she showed a bit of helplessness and annoyance on her face, with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed up, as if she was feeling a lot of grievances: "It's all because of Xiao Yuan.

“He was too greedy and used my power without restraint, causing me to fall into a long sleep.

"When I finally woke up, I looked like this..."

At the end of her speech, there was a hint of grievance and crying in her voice.

As Yuan Yao spoke, the whole room seemed to be filled with a faint atmosphere of sadness.

"crunch-"

Just then, there was a slight sound and the door slowly opened.

A tall figure walked into the room accompanied by the soft light coming in from outside the door. It was Li Yuan.

“Haven’t you gotten enough benefits?
"If I hadn't helped you, you would probably still be trapped in the darkness underground, with no chance of escaping."

Li Yuan said with a hint of sarcasm.

As he walked, his eyes fell gently on Cangyu, looking him up and down, and asked with concern: "Cangyu, how do you feel?"

"It's nothing serious." Cangyu got up lightly from the bed, his golden hair swaying gently like a flowing metal waterfall.

She motioned for Li Yuan to sit down, and she also sat down slowly on the brocade stool beside her, unable to hide her worry, and continued: "My injury this time is more serious than any other time.

“Originally, my condition had recovered somewhat, but after the fight with that ghost-faced man, my condition got worse again.

"Based on my current recovery speed, it will take at least half a decade to fully recover."

Li Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, then relaxed his brows and said comfortingly, "Don't worry too much about your injuries.

“I checked you carefully while you were unconscious.

“I will refine several rare elixirs for you later, which will definitely help you recover faster.

"In a dozen years at most, you will be able to recover as before."

Hearing this, Cang Yu showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and looked at Li Yuan carefully again: "I see that your breath is steady, and your bone age seems to be 105 years old.

"As far as I can remember, you were only thirty-one or thirty-two years old when we parted. Counting the time, only seventy years have passed."

Li Yuan smiled faintly and explained, “More than thirty years ago, in order to reach the Yuan Shen realm, I entered a secret space-time realm.

“In the secret realm, the speed of time is completely different from that in the outside world. I practiced hard in there for three years, but in the outside world, only a moment passed.

"Therefore, according to the outside world's time, I am three years older."

After hearing this, Cang Yu's eyes showed enlightenment: "I didn't expect that you could enter such a magical secret realm.

“That kind of method cannot be achieved even by a strong person in the Life Spirit Realm.

"It is a method that only some Saint Realm experts with special Yuan Bones can barely perform."

"By the way, why did you step into the Wen River this time?" Li Yuan changed the subject and asked.

Cangyu sighed softly, his thoughts drifting back to the distant past, and he slowly recounted his experiences over the past seventy years.

That year, since Cangfeng and the other two left Qinggu Continent, they hurried back to their family, their hearts full of plans and expectations for the future.

In the first few years, in order to collect the rare materials listed by Li Yuan, they almost exhausted all their resources and traveled day and night between various regions and auction houses.

With Cang Yu's cultivation at the peak of the middle stage of the Huawen realm, he still found some precious medicines.

But when searching for those inferior elixirs, they encountered unprecedented challenges.

In order to be qualified enough to face those powerful people who possess elixirs, Cangyu decided to practice hard in seclusion in order to seek a breakthrough and enhance his own strength.

Sixty years pass by like a flash.

The place where Cangyu was in seclusion was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the vital energy was so rich that it was almost liquefied.

She sat quietly there, surrounded by a faint golden light, and her breathing seemed to resonate with the heaven and earth.

Cangyu successfully advanced to the late stage of Huawen Realm, and his momentum was as high as a rainbow.

After coming out of seclusion, she immediately embarked on a journey to find materials to repair Cang Feng's soul.

She traveled between continents, and her footprints covered thousands of mountains and rivers.

A few months ago, by chance, Cangyu heard about a bounty mission in a prosperous city.

Kill the Thunder-Breaking Eagle, one of the five great flying thieves of Wen River.

The advance reward for the bounty mission was the top-grade precious medicine, the Fulong Soul Heart Ginseng, which attracted her like a magnet.

Because this is exactly one of the materials on Li Yuan’s list.

The Thunder-Breaking Demon Eagle has such a fierce reputation. This sixth-level perfect demon beast has deterred countless powerful people from approaching it.

Although afterwards, the other party will give three top-grade treasures.

And this little reward is not enough for a powerful life spirit.

For a task of this level, the reward would be increased several times, and at least one top-quality treasure would be required.

Cangyu did not hesitate and accepted the bounty mission.

After meeting the person who issued the bounty mission, the other party was not optimistic about her ability to kill the Thunder Eagle after confirming her cultivation level.

Cangyu took out a thousand Earth Yuan Stones to exchange for the Fulong Soul Heart Ginseng, and made a vow that no matter what, he would try to complete this seemingly impossible task.

After repeated consideration, the other party, although he had some reservations, finally handed the Fulong Soul Heart Ginseng to her.
