Chapter 1058 - 1667: Golden-Horned Flame Bull

"Puchi!"

"Chichi!!!"

Chen Mo again used the Spirit Brilliance Sword to slash at the dead and reverted forms of the three Blazing Flame Tigers, chopping them into many pieces of flesh. Only when they were dead beyond a doubt did Chen Mo stop.

Having witnessed the trump cards of Feng Ying, the Lin Family, and the Thirteenth Princess, Chen Mo was wary that these Blazing Flame Tigers might have some trick for feigning death. Since he was already taking action, he needed to be thorough to ensure nothing went wrong.

Retrieving the Spirit Brilliance Sword and eighteen Wind Shadow Swords, Chen Mo began to loot the corpses.

From the bodies of the three, he found a Storage Magical Treasure each, but their levels were too low, inferior even to the Qiankun Bracelet Huang Yi had given him, being merely Human-level Middle Grade.

With the three already dead, the Primordial Spirit Marks on these three Storage Magical Treasures naturally faded.

"Damn, all poor bastards."

Upon examining the three Storage Magical Treasures, Chen Mo found only two Human-level Top Grade Magical Treasures and roughly two thousand Fire Spirit Pills. The rest of the items were worthless.

Most importantly, those two Human-level Top Grade Magical Treasures consist of a Short-Handled Hammer and a Wolf Fang Club, neither of which were useful to him.

Before leaving, Chen Mo packed some Blazing Flame Tiger meat, about a thousand pounds.

Initially, he planned only to take the Tiger Whip, but considering they had transformed into humanoid forms, he felt a bit repulsed and gave up on the idea.

After swallowing a few Fire Spirit Pills to replenish his Spiritual Power, Chen Mo ventured further North to explore.

Along the way, Chen Mo discovered numerous skeletons, but they emitted no trace of spiritual energy, having long become ordinary Mortal Bones.

It's rumored that the skeletons of powerful beings, even after millions of years, can still resist decay, with their spiritual energy remaining intact, astonishing to behold.

A day later.

Chen Mo didn't know where he was anymore; he had been walking North but never reached an end. Moreover, he found nothing, not even a trace of Divine Beast Skeletons or Heaven and Earth Treasures.

This, however, was a testament to the vastness of these Ancient Ruins.

Just as Chen Mo prepared to stop and eat something.

"Boom!"

Ahead, there was a violent surge of spiritual power, causing the earth to tremble slightly. Out of curiosity, Chen Mo went to investigate, but he didn't get too close.

"It's it!"

In the mountain nook, a massive tornado was devastating the surrounding vegetation and rocks. Chen Mo watched the massive black Celestial Roc in the tornado's center, which occupied forty to fifty zhang, recognizing it as the same Celestial Roc that had wreaked havoc outside when entering the Barrier.

758923.

Much stronger than Feng Ning.

Below the Celestial Roc, on the ground, were a dozen people standing at the mountain nook's perimeter, holding magical treasures, their bodies glowing.

Their matching attire revealed them to be members of the Immortal Sect.

Their strength was also impressive.

623509+278960.

684250+238506.

468900+200090.

...

...

Two were at Third Realm Perfection, while the rest were at the Mid-Stage of the Third Realm.

Chen Mo swallowed hard; these were not people he could afford to provoke.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on what appeared to be half, no, half of a huge skeleton emerging from the center of the mountain nook. The skeleton's color was similar to the sickly glazed hue of the surface, making it hard to spot at a glance.

This exposed half of the skeleton was elongated and serpentine, with legs, each having four claws, resembling a dragon but hornless, covered in dry scales yet exuding a faint glow.

The tail was buried underground, not visible, and a vague oppressiveness emanated from this skeleton.

If its eyes weren't lifeless, without the slightest hint of vitality, no one would think it was just a skeleton.

"Prince Peng, this Chi Dragon Skeleton was first discovered by our Immortal Sect. If you give up, we'll let you leave in peace; otherwise, this place will be your burial ground." An Immortal Sect disciple standing at the Li Position shouted sternly at the Celestial Roc in the tornado's center.

"Hmph, this is the relic of our Demon Race ancestors, and as a part of the Celestial Roc Race and by extension the Demon Race, naturally, we should take our ancestor's relic back for a proper burial. Do you think the Immortal Sect intimidates the Celestial Roc Race?"

Prince Peng's wings merely fluttered, the surrounding tornado unleashing a fierce wind that shredded a stone weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds into rubble. The debris, swept into the tornado, would become deadly weapons upon release.

"You chose the hard way; form the array!"

"Yes."

The remaining Immortal Sect disciples took orders, intertwining runes around themselves.

"Buzz buzz..."

The sky trembled as a massive yin-yang Taiji appeared above the mountain nook. On the ground, sand and rocks danced, ancient trees uprooted, exploding in the sky, and even a Shishan shattered, as if struck by Thunder God, the rocks rolling down thunderously.

Even Chen Mo, watching from a distance, was affected by the array.

"Quick, retreat! This kind of battle is not one I can join. Better not get caught in the crossfire."

Chen Mo quickly retreated; with so many from the Immortal Sect there, stealing the Chi Dragon Skeleton was impossible; leaving was the better option.

Shortly after Chen Mo left, a deafening explosion came from behind him. He glanced back, only to see vast waves of white surge toward the sky.

The scene was terrifying, simply breathtaking.

"I don't think this Celestial Roc will survive..."

Chen Mo couldn't fathom how the Celestial Roc could survive being surrounded by more than a dozen people from the Immortal Sect.

"I must quickly break through to the Third Realm in my Spiritual Power Realm, or even if I discover a Phoenix Skeleton, I won't be able to join in, let alone take my share."
