Lord of Bones

Chapter 818 Weird Cave
Several island owners seemed to be suddenly awakened from a long and confusing nightmare abyss.

The scene before my eyes was like the first light of dawn, clear and real in an instant.

They were in a large hall.

It is so large that tens of thousands of people can stand shoulder to shoulder without feeling crowded.

The entrance to the hall is like the open mouth of an ancient beast, swallowing and spitting out faint and mysterious light.

Opposite to it are four side doors emitting dim light.

The ceiling of the hall is inlaid with countless blood-colored crystals, like a night sky dotted with stars.

These crystal stones should have been crystal clear, but due to the contamination of the blood-colored mist that had been lingering in the cave for a long time, they became so strange and eerie, adding an indescribable weirdness to the entire hall.

Although the blood mist had dissipated, the surrounding air was still filled with a faint red color, carrying a hint of ominousness.

Lan Haicang and other island masters stood in various places in the hall. Wherever they looked, there was nothing. There was no trace of any treasure.

Their faces were filled with confusion, bewilderment and loss.

"What on earth is going on?" Lan Haicang murmured to himself, "Just now this was clearly an underground medicine garden full of vitality, like a fairyland.

“Exotic flowers and herbs compete with each other in beauty, and each one emits a faint spiritual light, which is obviously a magical medicine with a long history and extraordinary medicinal effects.

"I also saw the legendary holy medicine, that dazzling light..."

Li Yuan looked around and slowly explained, "The blood-colored mist in the cave contains a strange aura that is difficult to detect.

“If you inhale this mist for a long time, your mind will be confused by it, and it will arouse the greed and desires in the abyss of your heart.

"You all had a fierce battle in the Bone Blood Pond and the Thunder Prison Soul Locking Bell outside, and your minds have been greatly impacted.

"Add to that the influence of the blood mist, and it's natural that it's easy to fall into hallucinations."

He paused and continued, "Luckily I arrived a little late, thus avoiding this unforeseen disaster.

"However, this also reminds us that this place is full of dangers. We must remain vigilant at all times and not let our guard down at all."

Hearing this, Feng Qianqin bowed to Li Yuanying and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Li, for saving me in time.

“If you hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid we would have really fallen into the tragic situation of killing each other.

"If this gets out, it will become a big joke in the Wandao Zhuhai."

Her eyes swept across the four mysterious side doors emitting dim light, and she changed the subject: "There are four passages here, and I don't know where they lead to.

"How can we choose to avoid danger?"

As she asked the question, everyone turned their eyes to Li Yuan.

“This place should be the center of the entire cave.

"If I were Chu Zhentian, this would undoubtedly be the best place for me to practice."

While Li Yuan was pondering, his eyes kept searching around for clues.

As soon as the words fell, Yueyingyou exclaimed: "Everyone, look there..."

She raised her slender jade hand and pointed to a circular platform in the center of the four side doors.

On the platform, a skeleton as white as jade sat quietly.

The clothes on the skeleton were almost rotten, with only a few pieces of cloth remaining, obviously having been eroded by too much blood mist.

"He... could he be the Chu Zhentian who was trying to reach the Life Spirit Realm eight thousand years ago?" Yan Wushuang said in surprise, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the skeleton.

To be more precise, their attention was drawn to the sea-blue ring on a bone finger of the skeleton's left hand.

Han Xingye couldn't hold back his excitement at this moment, his voice trembled slightly: "It should be correct.

“Since we entered the cave, this is the only skeleton besides the blood demon we encountered last time.

"If this isn't Chu Zhentian's cave, whose else could it belong to?"

A rare look of greed appeared in Lan Haicang's eyes, and he said:
“Chu Zhentian’s Yun Ring must contain the cultivation experience of the Half-Step Life Spirit Realm, as well as countless treasures.

“After all, before Chu Zhentian, there were also powerful people in the Life Spirit Realm on Leiming Island.

"Since Chu Zhentian, the island master of Thundering Island has been at the peak of the Half-step Life Spirit Realm, not to mention the Life Spirit Realm. No one can match him."

Hearing this, Li Yuan murmured softly, "No wonder Lei Kun is so concerned about this cave.

"We must keep it in our hands at all costs."

Feng Qianqin opened her red lips and said in a gentle voice, "Chu Zhentian's Yun Ring contains his former Wanzhuo Xuanpan.

"According to our previous agreement, it should belong to Brother Li as a reward for his contribution in breaking the ban.

"As for the rest of the treasures, we will divide them equally among the six of us. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Haicang and other island masters nodded, with their eyes showing both desire for treasures and recognition and respect for Li Yuan's strength.

Feng Qianqin turned to look at Li Yuan and asked, "What do you think, Brother Li?"

Li Yuan looked at the black Yun Ring on his finger, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "In addition to the Wanzhuo Xuan Plate, can you also give that Yun Ring to me?"

After these words were spoken, several island owners looked at each other with different expressions, obviously surprised by this proposal.

Feng Qianqin frowned slightly and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, that ring should be the one that the first island owner of Leiming Island got in exchange with Xuanshuang Island, and his name is Cang Linglan.

"Master Lan, you should know something about this, right?"

When Lan Haicang heard this, a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes: “Cang Linglan is a treasure that Xuanshuang Island obtained from the Lingbo Temple.

"Its internal space is vast and boundless, like a vast ocean. Its value far exceeds the scope of ordinary top-grade spiritual treasures."

Li Yuan gently stroked his chin and said, "How about this, the Cang Ling Lan Yun Ring and the Wan Zhuo Xuan Disk will all belong to me, and the other treasures will be divided equally among the five of you.

"If there is no Wanzhuo Xuanpan in Cang Linglan Yun Ring, I will not touch other treasures. How do you think?"

Several island owners exchanged glances again, and after a brief silence, they nodded.

"Since we have reached a consensus on the distribution of things, I will take the Cang Ling Lan Yun Ring."

Yan Wushuang's eyes focused, his body moved slightly, then he stretched out his right hand and waved lightly at the platform where the skeleton was.

Suddenly, a powerful invisible suction force rose like a strong wind, instantly covering the entire platform.

Following Yan Wushuang's actions, Lan Haicang and the others held their breath and focused their eyes on the skeleton and the ring on the platform.

However, just as Yan Wushuang's power was about to touch the bones, she suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! What's going on?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened and they all asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Wushuang frowned slightly, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, and said, "This is so weird.

“My strength was completely absorbed by that skeleton.

"It's like a black hole. It can't take anything away from the platform." Lan Haicang's eyes flashed with disdain, and he snorted coldly: "A guy who has been dead for 8,000 years still wants to be mysterious?"

His figure flashed, and like an arrow shot from a bow, he rushed towards the circular platform, obviously intending to take the Yun Ring himself.

However, just as he was about to get within ten feet of the skeleton, something strange happened.

"Bam—"

Lan Haicang's body suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then exploded with a loud bang.

The flesh and blood turned into strands of blood and energy, and as if being pulled by an invisible force, swarmed towards the skeleton.

At the same time, his bones fell off one after another, leaving only a piece of Lanhai bone that shone with a deep luster and kept changing between real and virtual.

A soul similar in shape to Lan Haicang escaped from his body at the moment of the explosion and instantly sank into Lan Haicang's bones.

Lan Hai Gu circled in the space, carrying the Haicang Pearl and Lan Hai Cang's Yun Ring, and broke a crack in the void. He escaped into it at an indescribable speed, and the crack closed accordingly.

The other people who witnessed this scene were all horrified and retreated dozens of feet, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

They never expected that the seemingly calm skeleton actually concealed such terrifying power.

Li Yuan looked at Lan Haicang's scattered bones on the ground and murmured softly:

“If it weren’t for the Lanhai bone in Lanhai Cang’s body, I’m afraid even his soul wouldn’t be able to escape the strange bone disaster today.

"It is indeed a holy bone. Even if only 30% of it is left, it can protect his soul at the critical moment and allow him to escape."

Han Xingye's face turned pale, and he trembled as he asked, "How could this happen?
"Lan Haicang... How could he just... "

Yueyingyou frowned and couldn't help asking, "Now, what should we do?
"This skeleton... seems to be hiding a power beyond imagination."

For a moment, several island owners fell silent.

Although they are all powerful men, the primordial bones in their bodies have evolved into celestial bones.

But compared with Lan Haicang's mysterious Lan Hai bone, there is undoubtedly a world of difference.

Faced with the unknown bones, they were filled with fear and anxiety.

At this moment, Li Yuan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly stepped forward a few steps, saying calmly: "Let me try.

"All of you retreat, be cautious and alert, and evacuate immediately if there is any abnormal situation."

Li Yuan's mind moved slightly, and in an instant, several Earth Demon Blades wrapped in nine-colored lightning flames suddenly appeared and surrounded his body.

He raised his sword finger lightly, with lightning leaping on his fingertips, pointing directly at the mysterious skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center of the platform.

Driven by his will, the Earth Evil Blade instantly turned into several bright streams of light, shooting towards the skeleton with unstoppable force.

However, when the Earth Demon Blade was only twenty feet away from the skeleton, an unpredictable force suddenly erupted from the skeleton.

Around the skeleton, a blood-red mist carrying the power of thunder suddenly surged.

It was like an ancient curse that was awakened, transforming into countless arrows that shot towards Li Yuan with a shrill whistle.

When several island owners saw this scene, their faces changed drastically and they retreated quickly. Only Li Yuan still stood there, as steady as a rock.

Under the precise control of Li Yuan's soul power, those Earth Demon Blades instantly condensed into a huge thunder and flame shield, on which lightning flashed and nine colors flowed.

"Bam—"

The Thunder Flame Shield collided violently with the blood-colored lightning fog that surged like a tide. Lightning flashed, blood splattered, the space was torn apart, and bursts of wailing were heard.

However, the blood-colored lightning mist was forcibly forced back by the Thunder Flame Shield, causing it to roll back and gather again in front of the skeleton.

The next moment, the blood-red lightning fog rolled violently, like boiling magma, gradually condensing into a blood-red bat with a huge wingspan.

"Blood Shadow Bat? A blood shadow bat that can control thunder." Han Xingye said in horror, "No wonder Lan Haicang was sucked dry of blood and flesh in an instant before."

The blood-red bat's broad wings are covered with complex and mysterious blood-red runes.

With every flap of the blood shadow bat's wings, a faint red light flashed.

A faint blood mist surrounded its body, and there seemed to be countless dead souls wailing in the mist, adding an indescribable weirdness to it.

The blood shadow bat's eyes were like two blood moons, cold and deep.

Sharp fangs extended from the corners of its mouth, and bloody liquid kept dripping from it, which was very frightening.

A cold light flashed in Yueyingyou's eyes, and her red lips opened slightly, but no word came out.

His arm was raised gracefully, and a deep blue ball of light suddenly flew out from his palm.

Then it exploded in the air and turned into an impenetrable, deep blue net that enveloped the blood shadow bats.

Yan Wushuang's face was extremely solemn, and he shouted: "Now that this demon has revealed its true form, we must not let it escape into the void easily, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Before he finished speaking, the golden bracelet on his wrist had already turned into a dazzling golden light, carrying a fiery breath, and flew rapidly towards the Blood Shadow Bat, intending to bind the Blood Shadow Bat tightly together with the dark blue net.

"Roar."

The blood shadow bat's huge body shook violently, its mouth opened wide, and it let out a deafening, soul-piercing low roar.

Along with the roar, a deep and strange black hole appeared in the void in front of him, preventing the net and the bracelet from getting close.

At this moment, Han Xingye shouted loudly, and his figure soared into the air with great momentum.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and several small and exquisite decorations on the belt flew out in an instant, turning into several-foot-long icicles that flashed with cold light and stabbed towards the blood shadow bat.

Faced with the joint attack of the three powerful men, the Blood Shadow Bat was not afraid at all, and even seemed to have a hint of contempt in his smile.

The beast's mouth opened wider, and the black hole expanded instantly, transforming into a thick blood-red mist that quickly spread and enveloped all the gold ingots sacrificed by the three people.

In the mist, the light of the ingots gradually dimmed and returned to their original size.

"How can this thing be so powerful?" Yueyingyou couldn't help but show a look of horror on her face when she saw this scene.

She tried to take back the blue light ball whose brightness had greatly diminished, but found it difficult to control. She could only watch the blue light ball struggling in the mist.

"I want to see how powerful this thing is."

Li Yuan shouted, raised his sword finger, and pressed it down suddenly. Suddenly, several Earthly Blades surrounded by nine-colored lightning flames appeared in the air.

A total of nine Earthly Blades quickly gathered together and merged into a huge Thunder Sword, hanging above the Blood Shadow Bat's head.

The Thunder Sword emitted a dazzling light, like a hammer of heavenly punishment, carrying with it the power of destruction, and fell downward at an alarming speed.

At the same time, a large amount of nine-colored lightning flames surged out from the sword and swept towards the blood shadow bat.

The blood-colored lightning mist lingering around the blood shadow bats, under the scorching heat of the nine-colored lightning flames, seemed to have met its nemesis and dissipated one after another, unable to block the edge of the Thunder Sword.

The Thunder Sword suddenly pierced through the Blood Shadow Bat's hideous and twisted head.

The blood shadow bat let out an extremely shrill and heart-pounding scream that echoed throughout the entire cave.
