They were densely packed in the void behind the portal, as if guarding something.

Shi Ji also noticed that several skeletons were relatively well-preserved, and they should be the skeleton warriors responsible for guarding the gate.

These skeletons seem to have long since perished in the endless years, yet they still retain the posture they had in life, as if they were eternally immortal.

"Who exactly are these skeletons? Their power is so terrifying, it's unbelievable."

Shi Ji couldn't help but gasp.

This place is undoubtedly a forbidden zone, a relic left behind by some peerless expert, but its terror is beyond doubt.

Perhaps, countless powerful figures have been buried here.

Just then, the Star Devourer issued a warning.

Shi Ji quickly dodged, then looked ahead and saw a dense array of skeletal monsters appear behind the twisted portal.

These skeletal monsters were all ferocious and menacing. They stared intently at Shi Ji, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Each skeletal monster exuded a chilling aura; some were pitch black, some were shrouded in black mist, some were mangled and bloody, and some were covered in eyes.

All sorts of monsters, each powerful and terrifying, stared at Shi Ji with gloomy eyes.

"Are you the outsider who has trespassed into our Netherworld? Since you dare to enter our territory, then become our sacrifice!"

"A skeletal monster covered in eyes said menacingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the white bone demon's eyes snapped open.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from its eyes, containing earth-shattering power.

This skeleton demon is truly terrifying; it's unlike any known life form.

Shi Ji hurriedly used defensive techniques to resist, but the White Bone Demon's strength was too terrifying, and Shi Ji felt that her body was almost shattered.

The White Bone Demon's attack nearly severely injured Shi Ji.

Fortunately, Shi Ji used her Heaven-Mending Technique in time and quickly recovered from her injuries.

The white bone demon's eyes closed again.

This skeletal monster was indeed formidable. Shi Ji knew he was no match for it, but he did not intend to run away.

He sensed an extremely ancient aura emanating from this skeletal monster.

Clearly, this skeletal monster is a life form that has evolved from an ancient corpse, which is why it bears such ancient historical traces.

Shi Ji planned to capture the skeletal monster and interrogate it to find out more about the Netherworld.

After all, the underworld is just a legendary place.

Shi Ji was very curious whether the underworld really existed.

If it really exists, then it would be a truly heaven-defying act.

"Your figure is truly hot and alluring. How about I have a taste of you?"

The white-boned demon grinned maliciously, extending a claw and slapping it towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji's body was blasted away.

"What's going on? Why is this skeletal monster able to attack me? Didn't I already hide myself?"

Shi Ji's face was filled with shock and confusion.

He dared not stay in place any longer and quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the skeletal monster.

"Boy! You think you can escape? You'll never leave here alive today!"

The skeletal monsters continued to pounce on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji kept dodging, but even with his extreme caution, he couldn't completely avoid the attacks of the skeletal monster.

This skeletal monster was indeed extremely terrifying, far beyond what Shi Ji could possibly contend with.

In the end, Shi Ji still met with misfortune, as the skeletal monster grabbed her by the neck.

The skeletal monster lifted Shi Ji up, opened its huge mouth, and was about to bite his head.

With a thought, Shi Ji instantly transformed the stone sword into a giant sword a hundred meters long.

He pierced the skull of the skeletal monster.

The skeletal monster's body was incredibly tough; although its injuries were severe, it did not die immediately.

The skeletal monster struggled, and the sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing the sound of bones cracking, Shi Ji was startled; the skeletal monster's spine appeared to have broken.

The skeletal monster forcefully flung Shi Ji away.

The rock crashed onto a large rock thousands of meters away, shattering it into pieces.

But he still felt a churning pain in his chest, as if his internal organs were being churned up.

The skeletal monster rose to its feet, raised its head, and stared coldly at Shi Ji.

It said, "How dare you damage my spine! I will tear you apart and skin you alive!"

Shi Ji said, "If I were you, I would give up on the idea of ​​revenge and obediently get lost. You are no match for me at all. The difference in level is not something your strength can make up for. If I'm not mistaken, you should have just transformed into a skeleton monster, right?" "You're quite clever!" the skeleton monster said.

"Now, you'd better admit defeat and surrender. You should know very well that with your cultivation level, you are no match for me. If you really fight me, you will surely die. You don't want to die a miserable death in this desolate wilderness, do you?"

The skeletal monster responded sarcastically, "Boy, aren't you being too arrogant and underestimating my strength?"

"You are not only powerful, but your combat strength is also terrifying. Your physical attributes are even stronger than those of ordinary cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of the Immortal King realm. But unfortunately, you are still too young. If it were a contest between peers, you might be able to contend with me. But now, you might as well kneel down and beg for mercy, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Shi Ji sneered and said without fear, "Enough with the nonsense, come at me if you want to fight! Why would I be afraid of you?"

The skeletal monster stared coldly at Shi Ji and said, "Since you are so eager to die, then I will send you on your way now!"

As it spoke, it stretched out its huge claws and fiercely clawed at Shiji.

Shi Ji flashed forward, leaping out and unleashing the Dragon Elephant Overbearing Aura. Instantly, white light surged forth, entangling the skeletal monster's arm and exerting immense pressure upon it. However, the skeletal monster's attacks did not cease.

It stomped on Shi Ji's body with one foot, while its other hand reached out to grab her again. Both claws attacked Shi Ji simultaneously, with overwhelming force.

But Shi Ji was already prepared. He unleashed three thousand transformations at an astonishing speed. He teleported to another mountain peak, then summoned the Armor of Domination and swiftly entered it.

He wielded the Armor of Domination, battling the skeletal monster. The Armor of Domination emitted a hazy glow, its power immense. This Armor of Domination was a treasure that Shi Ji had forged at great cost, incorporating his Domination Emperor runes.

The Sovereign Emperor Mark, when imbued with the Sovereign Armor, amplified its power several times over. Of course, even with the Sovereign Armor and the Sovereign Emperor Mark, it would still be difficult to directly confront the skeletal monster. But the Sovereign Armor's strength is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

The skeletal monster's claws slammed into Shi Ji's body, but Shi Ji's body seemed to have been cast in metal, completely impervious to the monster's claw attacks. Although the skeletal monster's claws tore through Shi Ji's flesh, they failed to touch her soul.

The skeletal monster had a rune between its eyebrows; it was a sealing rune. It sealed most of the skeletal monster's memories, so the skeletal monster knew nothing about Shi Ji.

Shi Ji swung her stone sword, aiming for the head of the skeletal monster. But the enormous claw seized the stone sword and snapped it in two with a sudden burst of force.

Shi Ji's expression was gloomy. The skeletal monster's body was too powerful. Even his Dominator Armor could hardly withstand its claw attacks, let alone his physical body.

"Boy, you are no match for me!" the skeletal monster sneered. Then, its body suddenly cracked and collapsed. But quickly, the skeletal monster's body reformed, completely intact.

"This guy is really troublesome! But it seems like it won't be so easy for him to kill me, will it?" Shi Ji snorted coldly, then summoned the Black Dragon Sword. He activated the Azure Dragon Treasure Technique and unleashed the eighth move of the Nine Heavenly Swords—Return of All Paths to One.

Shi Ji's cultivation level has now reached the peak of the third level of Immortal Lord, making her many times stronger than before. Therefore, the power of her "Myriad Paths Return to One" technique is naturally extremely terrifying. She unleashed this technique directly at the skeletal monster.

"What a powerful attack!" The skeletal monster couldn't help but take a deep breath after seeing Shi Ji's "All Paths Return to One" move. The attack gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Shatter the heavens!" the skeletal monster roared, unleashing a punch towards Shi Ji.

A loud bang rang out as the two clashed. Although Shi Ji's "Return to Oneness of Myriad Paths" was terrifying, it ultimately couldn't overcome the skeletal monster. He was blasted away by the monster, while the monster stood motionless.

The skeletal monster grinned maliciously and said, "So what if you have the Armor of the Overlord protecting you? You are still no match for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the skeletal monster rushed over, leaped out, and pounced on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji sneered repeatedly: "Is that so?"

Then, he stepped forward, arms outstretched. Two stone swords materialized in his right palm, he held one in his left hand and the other in his right. At the same time, he unleashed the Myriad Paths Return to One, channeling his magical power into the two stone swords. Instantly, the two stone swords vibrated violently, then transformed into two giant axes, fiercely slashing towards the skeletal monster.

Two violent collisions rang out as Shi Ji's attack clashed with the skeletal monster once again.

In this exchange, Shi Ji's attack had a slight advantage, blasting the skeletal monster backward. Seizing the initiative, Shi Ji showed no mercy, instantly pursuing the monster and continuing to unleash the "Myriad Paths Return to One" technique, launching a fierce offensive against it.

Shi Ji wielded her stone sword wildly, unleashing a storm of attacks on the skeletal monster. Under Shi Ji's onslaught, the skeletal monster was forced to retreat, utterly powerless to retaliate.

Finally, Shi Ji swept her stone sword horizontally, striking the skeletal monster's shoulder with tremendous force. The blow was astonishing, nearly blowing the monster's shoulder off completely. A gruesome and terrifying wound immediately appeared on the monster's shoulder, dripping with blood, a truly horrifying sight.

However, this skeletal monster possessed astonishing regenerative abilities; its wounds healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Such an immortal bloodline was indeed astonishingly powerful.

"How can you be so powerful?" the skeletal monster screamed in terror, clearly incredulous at Shi Ji's strength.

"Do you think my Armor of Domination is just for show?" Shi Ji replied sarcastically.

"Impossible! How could you possibly possess the Armor of the Overlord?" The skeletal monster's eyes widened, its face filled with disbelief. The Armor of the Overlord had vanished for billions of years; how could it possibly reappear in the world?

"You don't need to know this!" Shi Ji said coldly. With a flash of light, he activated the Dominator's Armor, instantly crossing the void and arriving beside the skeletal monster, piercing its chest with a sword.

The skeletal monster screamed in agony as its life essence rapidly drained away. It tried to break free from Shi Ji's grasp and escape, but would Shi Ji give it that chance?

Shi Ji activated the Armor of Domination, firmly imprisoning the skeletal monster in mid-air. Then, she took out more than a dozen array flags and planted them around the monster. The flags emitted a dazzling light, and Shi Ji activated the grand array.

After the formation was activated, the skeletal monster immediately felt extreme pain. It howled and begged for mercy: "Spare me! Spare me!"

"Too late!" Shi Ji remained indifferent and unmoved, and began to refine the skeletal monster.

"No! You can't refine me!" the skeletal monster roared angrily, trying to resist.

Shi Ji's face was filled with a sinister expression as she coldly shouted, "Mere bones, even if they are the remains of a ruler, your will to rule is not strong enough. To try to struggle is simply wishful thinking. Today, I, this young master, will use your corpse to forge an unparalleled suit of armor!"

Shi Ji accelerated the refining process of the skeletal monster while closely observing its condition. He noticed that the monster's vitality was waning, and it seemed to be gradually fading away.

Shi Ji couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the skeleton monster's corpse had developed independent intelligence? If so, that would be troublesome. Once the skeleton monster's will was fully awakened, it certainly wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die, but would unleash its most ferocious attack.

Moreover, this skeletal monster is an absolutely terrifying being. If it is not killed, her situation will be extremely precarious. Shi Ji must refine the skeletal monster as soon as possible to eliminate any future threat.

The skeleton monster's bones emitted an eerie aura, and its marrow and bones contained a special cursed power. This cursed power had existed since the skeleton monster's original master sealed it at the bottom of the lake, and had never been eradicated. Even in its slumber, the cursed power continued to erode the skeleton monster.

This is truly a terrifying thing. Once the power of the curse is fully unleashed, even Shi Ji will likely find it difficult to withstand.

Strangely, Shi Ji hasn't sensed the cursed power within the skeletal monster's body. Why is that? Could it be that this creature's cursed power is still unable to erupt?
Shi Ji carefully examined the skeletal monster's body and found nothing unusual. He suddenly remembered that the skeletal monster had previously devoured the corpse of an empress, a being of imperial rank.

Could it be that the owner of this skeletal monster was also a powerful figure at the imperial level in life? If so, this skeletal monster certainly has a remarkable background. (End of Chapter)
