Chapter 753: Chapter 752: Frost Bone Dragon! Another Burial Place for Cultivators
"The Hell Three-headed Dog... is dead?"
The few surviving Cultivators slumped to the ground.
Staring at the corpse of the Hell Three-headed Dog, split clean in two, they were stunned into silence for a long time.
They couldn’t understand.
Why had the Hell Three-headed Dog—a beast so absurdly powerful it could have annihilated them all with a single swipe—died at the hands of a Female Cultivator at the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm?
This was no ordinary battle against a stronger foe.
This was a counter-kill spanning two Grand Realms!
’She has to be cheating, right?’
It wasn’t until Gu Yuexi sheathed her sword and strode calmly toward the Hell Three-headed Dog’s corpse that the surviving Cultivators finally snapped out of their stupor.
They had survived!!!
"Waaaah~~~ I’m never entering another damn Secret Realm in my life! I almost died in here!"
"This goddamn Land of Burial! When I get out, I’m gonna find someone to level this whole Qiuming Mountain!"
Some broke down, wailing and venting their emotions after surviving a near-death experience.
Others reacted faster, quickly shouting in Gu Yuexi’s direction.
"Thank you for saving my life, milady! My name is Wang Da Chui! From now on, I’m willing to be your servant to repay this debt!"
"Pah! She saved your life and now you want to cozy up to her and take advantage? Shameless!"
Gu Yuexi stood before the Hell Three-headed Dog’s corpse, ignoring the commotion behind her.
She was waiting.
Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar was currently perched on the Hell Three-headed Dog’s corpse, its proboscis plunged into the creature’s skull, slurping away greedily.
Although Gu Yuexi was long accustomed to Chu Sheng’s outrageous methods, she couldn’t help but be a little shocked every time she witnessed this scene firsthand.
’This guy’s method of leveling up is always so simple and brutal.’
She waited for about three minutes.
The Hell Three-headed Dog’s corpse shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Sheng’s Outer Body Avatar flew up from the corpse, let out a burp, and slowly landed back on Gu Yuexi’s shoulder.
"Let’s go."
Chu Sheng’s voice, tinged with satisfaction, came from the avatar.
Gu Yuexi could tell.
His main body’s Divine Thought was attached to this Outer Body Avatar.
He must have taken a moment to check on the situation here.
So she asked casually.
"How are things on your end?"
Chu Sheng replied nonchalantly.
"Ran into a skeleton. No big deal."
After speaking, his Divine Thought withdrew from the avatar to control his main body again.
Gu Yuexi froze for a moment, muttering to herself.
"A skeleton?"
"Could it be... the Evil Dragon from a hundred thousand years ago?"
At this thought.
A hint of worry bloomed in Gu Yuexi’s heart.
She instinctively quickened her pace, heading for the Bronze Gate behind the Hell Three-headed Dog.
「Meanwhile.」
Chu Sheng withdrew his separated Divine Thought, his focus returning to the battlefield before him.
He had just used his Outer Body Avatar to absorb a good deal from the Hell Three-headed Dog, significantly increasing his Divine Blood and Law Comprehension. It was a pleasant surprise.
He shook his head.
He looked up at the massive Frost Bone Dragon in the center of the area, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Next, he just had to dismantle this skeleton before him and absorb its Divine Soul Origin.
Perhaps he could then undergo his fourteenth complete evolution.
Just as Gu Yuexi had guessed.
After passing through the Void Soul Beast area, Chu Sheng had arrived in this enormous underground cavern.
The cavern was so large that Qiuming Mountain definitely couldn’t contain such a huge underground space.
If the cavern extended outwards, it would have been discovered long ago.
So he scanned it with his Space Law and confirmed his suspicion.
This was an independent, folded space, sealed inside the mountain by someone using a Great Divine Power.
If you were to dig down from the top of the mountain, you would never be able to reach this place.
Only when the Land of Burial opened could one enter by following the designated passage.
’That little boy in the red belly wrap... did he really have to hide a corpse so secretly?’
Chu Sheng grumbled to himself.
The Frost Bone Dragon currently fighting the Cultivators before him exuded a bone-chilling cold aura.
It was likely the same Evil Dragon that had caused chaos in Luoping City a hundred thousand years ago.
Although only a skeleton remained now, its power was still absurdly high.
Dead for a hundred thousand years, yet it still possessed the strength of the Integration Realm First Layer upon resurrection. One could only imagine how powerful it must have been when it was alive.
In the center of the cavern, more than thirty Cultivators were spread out, frantically attacking the Frost Bone Dragon.
All sorts of Powers of Law struck the Bone Dragon’s body with a CLANG CLANG CLANG, but they only left faint white marks.
The Frost Bone Dragon didn’t seem to want to bother with them.
With a casual sweep of its massive tail, which carried a biting chill, it directly killed half of the Cultivators.
Unlike the Hell Three-headed Dog, which had toyed with the other group of Cultivators, the Frost Bone Dragon’s attacks were clean and efficient. It seemed to just want to kill all the intruders as quickly as possible.
It gave Chu Sheng a sense of urgency.
As if it was in a hurry to do something important and didn’t want to waste time here.
Chu Sheng hovered in mid-air, analyzing the situation silently.
’This Frost Bone Dragon can’t have been alive this whole time. The opening of the Land of Burial must have triggered some ancient mechanism, causing its temporary resurrection. The Hell Three-headed Dog on the other side probably follows the same logic. They’re both Guardian Beasts protecting the Secret Realm. It’s just that the resurrected Hell Three-headed Dog only wanted to play. But this Frost Bone Dragon is in a hurry to do something, which is why its attacks are so ruthless. It seems my guess was correct. The Land of Burial isn’t the Frost Bone Dragon’s exclusive tomb. It was forcefully stuffed in here by that little boy.’
In the brief moment Chu Sheng spent thinking, several more Cultivators died under the Frost Bone Dragon’s sweeping attack.
Among the surviving cultivators were Huo Lang and his party, the ones who had first invited Gu Yuexi to join their team.
Their group of eight had entered in grand style; now only three remained.
Besides Huo Lang, there was also Huang Mao and that slender girl in the camisole, whom everyone on the team called Big Y.
BANG!
Huang Mao threw out his Lifebound Magical Treasure, trying to block the Frost Bone Dragon’s sweep.
But as soon as the Magical Treasure touched the Frost Bone Dragon’s tail, it was instantly frozen by the terrifying power and cold aura.
Then it disintegrated, shattering into countless pieces.
His Lifebound Magical Treasure was destroyed.
Huang Mao suffered from the backlash, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood as his face turned deathly pale.
"Boss, you and Big Y, run!"
"I can’t hold on! I’ll cover your retreat!"
Huang Mao shouted to Huo Lang through gritted teeth, his voice filled with grim determination.
Huo Lang’s eyes were bloodshot.
"No! If we die, we die together! I, Huo Lang, am not the kind of man who abandons his brothers!"
Big Y looked small and slender, but her eyes were exceptionally firm.
Standing beside Huo Lang, she showed no intention of retreating.
But the Frost Bone Dragon couldn’t understand their tragic drama at all.
And even if it could, it probably wouldn’t have the slightest interest.
The massive dragon tail coiled back slightly, then swept out again.
It swept mercilessly toward the few remaining Cultivators, carrying a bone-chilling wind.
Aside from Huo Lang’s group of three, the other surviving Cultivators no longer had the courage to defend themselves.
Wailing and screaming for their parents, they fled in all directions, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.
But it was useless. The faster they ran, the faster they died.
The Frost Bone Dragon’s tail just swept out casually, its range covering more than half the cavern.
The fleeing cultivators were instantly sent flying, smashing against the stone walls and turning into ice sculptures.
They shattered into pieces.
In the vast cavern, only Huo Lang’s group of three remained alive.
"Damn it! I’ll fight you to the death!"
Huo Lang’s eyes went red as he let out a great roar.
He unleashed all his Power of Law, preparing to charge the Frost Bone Dragon and fight for his life.
Just then, Huang Mao suddenly grabbed his arm.
