Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

However, on the edge of the jade slip, she found a line of words engraved in extremely small, almost illegible fonts.

"Senior Brother Luo! Sister Wan'er! Look at this!" Su Xiaowan shouted, holding up the jade slip fragment.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er immediately surrounded them.

The line of words was not any of the characters they were familiar with. The strokes were twisted and the structure was weird. But when Luo Qingchen's eyes came into contact with those words, the corresponding meaning naturally emerged in his mind!

"Nine Netherworld Script?" Luo Qingchen whispered these words, his eyes filled with shock.

It was not that he recognized the text, but his power of chaos, or in other words, the hint of reincarnation that he comprehended, resonated with the text, allowing him to directly understand its meaning!
The Nine Netherworld Script, according to legend, was a type of script that evolved naturally from the laws of heaven and earth when the Nine Netherworld was first created. It contains the original power of the Yin and Ming Avenue and has been lost for countless years! How could it appear here?

"What's written here?" Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan couldn't understand it and asked curiously.

Luo Qingchen carefully identified the incomplete handwriting, combined with the context, and barely pieced together a fragmentary message:

"Fallen...Jedi...Altar...Death...Soul...Return to the Abyss...The key...Escape...In...your...eyes..."

The information is incomplete, but what it reveals is chilling.

Trapped in a desperate situation should refer to their current situation. The altar for life is obviously related to the black stone platform. The return of the soul is full of ominousness. And the sentence "the key is in the eyes" is even more confusing. The last word "escape" undoubtedly shows how desperate and fearful the person who left this line of words was before his death!

"The key is in the eye? What does that mean?" Su Xiaowan scratched her head. "Does he want us to dig out our eyeballs and use them as keys? That's too much!"

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Lin Wan’er frowned and said, “This may be a metaphor, or it may refer to a specific object or place.”

Luo Qingchen's eyes turned to the black stone platform again. Key... Altar... Life-demanding... Could it be that some kind of "key" is needed to activate this altar, and once the altar is activated, something terrible will happen? Are those skeletons the victims after the altar is activated?
And where is that "key"?

Just as Luo Qingchen was thinking, something strange happened!
The huge black stone pillars that had been standing silently all this time suddenly shone brightly with the runes on them! The dark blue light became extremely dazzling, and the evil spirit in the entire hall began to gather crazily towards those stone pillars!

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake slightly!

"Buzzing—"

A low humming sound came from all directions, as if the entire underground palace was waking up from a deep sleep!

What’s even more terrifying is that the gray-black bones that were originally scattered in front of the stone platform actually began to... move!
"Crack...knock..."

The sound of bones rubbing against each other was particularly harsh in the silent hall. One by one, the skeletons trembled and crawled up from the ground! In their empty eye sockets, two scarlet lights ignited, filled with violence, bloodthirstiness, and a desire for living souls!
Their target was none other than Luo Qingchen and the other four!
"Oh my god! He's resurrected from the dead!" Su Xiaowan was so scared that she screamed and hid behind Luo Qingchen, hugging his arms tightly.

Lin Wan'er and Bai Ling'er's faces also changed drastically. They quickly drew their swords and took a defensive stance.

"These are bone puppets controlled by the evil power! Be careful with their bone claws, they are extremely poisonous and corrosive!" Luo Qingchen shouted in a low voice, and the Black Dragon Sword was unsheathed in an instant, with the power of chaos bursting out!

He understood! When they entered the hall, they might have triggered some kind of restriction, awakening these "guards" who had been silent for countless years! And that altar was probably the core that controlled these bone puppets, or even the restriction of the entire hall!

More than a dozen bone puppets that have at least the strength of the Transformation Realm (when they were alive) are blessed by the rich Yin Sha power here. Their strength should not be underestimated! A fierce battle is inevitable!

The cold murderous intent emanated from the swaying skeletons. Their hollow eye sockets were fixed on the only living beings, Luo Qingchen and the other three. They approached them step by step with stiff and heavy steps! The terrifying moment in the ancient palace had just begun!
"Roar!"

The first one to rush up was an exceptionally tall bone puppet. It seemed to have been a physical cultivator in life, with a thick skeleton. Although only bones were left, its movements were extremely swift! Its five fingers formed into claws, and the gray-black bone claws were shrouded in black evil spirits visible to the naked eye. With a sharp roar that tore through the air, it fiercely grabbed Luo Qingchen, who was closest to it!
"Come on!" Luo Qingchen's eyes flashed, and he advanced instead of retreating! He urgently needed to figure out the strength and weaknesses of these bone puppets.

"Chaos Sword Art: Dawn!"

The gray sword light lit up, like the dawn that tore through the darkness, and accurately slashed at the bone claws of the bone puppet!
"clang!"

A sharp sound of metal clashing was heard!

Luo Qingchen only felt a huge recoil force coming from the sword, which made his arm numb slightly. The Black Dragon Sword was extremely sharp, and the power of chaos contained in it had a strong restraining effect on evil things, but it only left a shallow white mark on the gray-black bone claw! The bone claw itself only paused slightly, and the black evil spirit lingering on it was weakened a little, but it did not collapse!
What a hard bone! And the evil force was so concentrated that it seemed to have merged with the bone itself!
"Be careful! Their bones have been tempered by Yin Sha and are extremely hard!" Luo Qingchen immediately reminded, and at the same time, he turned his body to avoid the other claw that followed from the bone puppet, and slashed at its ribs with his backhanded sword!

"Tianyuan Sword Art: Stars Fall Like Rain!"

Almost at the same time, Lin Wan'er also moved! Her figure was graceful, and she swung her sword. The dark blue sword light was like fine raindrops, covering the other two surrounding bone puppets! "Puff puff puff!"

The sword rain containing the vitality of the exquisite grass hit the bone puppet, making a light sound like ice and snow melting. The gray-black bone surface, where the sword rain hit, emitted wisps of black smoke, and the movement became obviously sluggish. Obviously, this power containing pure vitality has a natural restraining effect on them.

However, these bone puppets seemed to feel no pain and were fearless. Even though they were hit by the rain of swords and their movements were blocked, they still roared (although they had no vocal cords, the fluctuations of the soul fire conveyed a similar roaring idea), waving their bone claws and frantically rushing towards Lin Wan'er.

"Aiya! Don't come over here, don't come over here!" Su Xiaowan hid in the small protective circle formed by Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er, screaming in fear. But she was not idle either, and hurriedly took out a handful of talismans from her storage bag, and threw them forward without caring what they were!

"Fireball Talisman! Ice Cone Talisman! Diamond Talisman... Uh, this one seems to be for defense... Never mind! Go, go, go! Hurry up and obey the order!"

Colorful lights exploded in the group of bone puppets! The fireball talisman exploded, leaving charred marks on the gray-black bones; the ice cone talisman pierced, covering them with a thin layer of frost, slightly slowing down their movements; as for the diamond talisman... it fluttered and stuck to the forehead of a bone puppet, flashing a faint golden light, as if... making the bone puppet's head harder?

"..." Luo Qingchen's eyes twitched, and he almost laughed at his junior sister's "precise" support. However, the upside was that Su Xiaowan's random throwing did interfere with the bone puppet's actions to a certain extent, giving him and Lin Wan'er a chance to breathe.

"Well done... well." Luo Qingchen praised reluctantly, and the sword in his hand changed again!

Since simply slashing doesn't work, try something else!

"Chaos Sword Technique: Reincarnation Slash!"

The sword light containing the artistic conception of the cycle of life and death appeared again! This time, Luo Qingchen's target was not the body of the bone puppet, but the scarlet soul fire beating in their eye sockets!

These bone puppets are not real life, what drives them to move is the residual soul fire that is ignited by the evil power and full of violence and resentment! As long as the soul fire is extinguished, these skeletons will naturally fall apart!
laugh!
The sword of reincarnation accurately swept across the head of a bone puppet! The bone puppet froze suddenly, and the red light in its eye sockets flickered violently for a few times, as if it had encountered a nemesis, and quickly dimmed, and finally went out completely!
Without the support of the soul fire, the tall bone puppet crashed and turned into gray-black bones on the ground.

"It works!" Luo Qingchen was cheered up and found the key to dealing with these bone puppets!
"Wan'er, attack their heads and extinguish the fire of their souls!" Luo Qingchen immediately informed Lin Wan'er of his discovery.

Lin Wan'er understood, and her sword force changed. It was no longer a large-scale falling star rain, but a concentrated sword light, like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, stabbing the eye sockets or skull gaps of the bone puppet! Her Tianyuan Sword Art contained vitality, and it also had a powerful purifying effect on this pure Yinhun Fire!
puff!
Another bone puppet's soul fire was extinguished by Lin Wan'er's precise sword strike, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

However, there were more than a dozen bone puppets! Although Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er had found an effective attack method, these bone puppets were at the level of the Spiritualization Realm or even higher before they died. Even though only bones and residual souls were left, their reaction speed and fighting instincts were still extremely strong. They seemed to have realized that their heads were a weakness, and began to subconsciously protect their heads with their arms, and their attacks became more tricky and crazy!
For a moment, swords flashed, bone claws flew, and the sound of metal clashing and bones breaking could be heard. Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er worked in perfect harmony, one attacking and the other supporting, barely holding off the siege of the bone puppets, but the pressure was growing.

Bai Ling'er was protected by Luo Qingchen behind her. She was extremely anxious as she watched the fierce battle ahead. She also wanted to help, but the dragon power in her body had just recovered a little and could not support the high-intensity battle at all. She tried to gather the dragon's might and intimidate these bone puppets like she did before against the soul shadow leader, but this time, the effect was minimal.

The soul fires of these bone puppets seemed to be firmly bound and controlled by some more powerful force, which made them extremely resistant to her weak dragon might. It only slowed their movements slightly for a moment before they returned to madness.

"Damn it...why..." Bailing'er gritted her teeth, feeling full of powerlessness.

At this moment, the corner of her eye inadvertently glanced at the huge black stone platform deep in the hall.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that as the battle progressed, the obscure runes on the stone platform seemed to be... brighter than before? Moreover, she faintly felt that the soul fire in the eye sockets of those bone puppets seemed to have some extremely weak, almost invisible connection with the stone platform! It was as if the stone platform was the real source of power and control core of these bone puppets!

"Master Luo!" Bai Ling'er quickly told Luo Qingchen what she had discovered, "That stone platform! Those bones seem to be connected to the stone platform!"

Luo Qingchen was moved when he heard this! He had previously suspected that the altar was the core, and Bai Ling'er's discovery undoubtedly confirmed his guess!

These bone puppets are endless, and judging from the increasingly bright rune light on the stone pillars, there may be more troublesome changes! We must find a way to destroy the altar or cut off the connection between it and the bone puppets!
"Wan'er, Xiaowan, cover me! I'm going to destroy that altar!" Luo Qingchen made a prompt decision!

"Okay!" Lin Wan'er responded without hesitation. The sword light suddenly became sharp, and she tried her best to stop several bone puppets that were trying to rush towards Luo Qingchen.

"Ah? Senior Brother Luo, are you going to rush over? There are the most bones there! Be careful!" Although Su Xiaowan was afraid, she also knew the seriousness of the situation. She took out a handful of talismans again and threw them towards the altar without even aiming. "Look at my Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Talisman! I'll blow all those skeletons of yours away!"

Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated, and the power of chaos was operating to the extreme. His figure passed through the gaps of the bone puppet like a ghost, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, and rushed straight to the black stone platform deep in the hall!
"Roar!"

As if they had sensed Luo Qingchen's intention, the several bone puppets near the stone platform immediately abandoned Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan and rushed towards Luo Qingchen like crazy! At the same time, the rune light on the black stone platform suddenly brightened!

Om-!
An invisible energy wave filled with death and destruction spread from the stone platform like a tide!
Luo Qingchen, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt a huge pressure acting on himself, as if it was going to crush his bones and drag his soul into an endless abyss! The chaotic body-protecting energy fluctuated violently, and he groaned as if he could not bear the heavy pressure!
What a strong restraining force! There is something wrong with this altar!

Luo Qingchen gritted his teeth, and the Chaos Art ran wildly, forcibly resisting the terrifying pressure, and his speed increased instead of decreasing! He knew that he had to destroy the altar before the restriction completely erupted or more bone puppets surrounded him!
"Chaos Sword Technique·Fifth Style·Chaos Return to Origin!"

He concentrated all his strength on this sword! It was the strongest sword that combined the Nine Netherworld vitality and the realm of reincarnation! On the tip of the gray sword, there seemed to be a little starlight spinning, the breath of life and death intertwined, exuding a terrifying power that could annihilate all things!
