Bursting out of the light, the scene before him opened up into a seemingly boundless, starry world with no end in sight.

What entered Wang Xiu's eyes was a massive and long "mountain range." Its entire body was translucent like jade, emitting a multicolored glow. It resembled a structure of coral and crystal, dazzling and colorful, bathed in the endless starlight—a blazing, incredibly brilliant sight.

But that was not a real mountain range.

It was a dragon corpse. It had been dead for an unknown number of eons, its bones buried here. The flesh had long since decomposed, leaving only the dragon skeleton, which still blotted out the sky and emitted an unimaginable might and aura.

This is a true supreme being, an existence that would have commanded respect even among the ancient Dragon Clan! Wang Xiu's eyes dazzled with astonishment. So the almost boundless, surging Life Essence I felt before was actually coming from a corpse!

Even after such a long passage of time, the terrifying Life Essence had not completely dissipated. It was still potent enough to affect this entire vast world.

Using the Supreme Sensing Chapter, Wang Xiu observed that the treasure light here was dazzling, like being caught in a burning meteor shower that seared the eyes. All of that light originated from the dragon corpse. Those dragon bones, which had endured countless years without decay, had become true treasures, rarities of the world.

Sensing no danger, Wang Xiu's heart relaxed slightly. He wished to soar into the sky, but found that the void held an invisible pressure. His body felt incredibly heavy, rendering him completely unable to fly.

He couldn't help but marvel. It's no wonder this was a draconic overlord; even so long after its death, the oppressive presence is still this terrifying.

He began to walk, and his speed wasn't slow. But the closer he got, the heavier the burden on his body became, his flesh groaning and creaking under the strain. The dead Ancient Dragon seemed to retain a remnant of its divinity, radiating a majesty that forbade any living creature from approaching.

The "mountain range" was still far in the distance, and his pace slowed as if he were wading through a quagmire.

Bending down, he picked up a palm-sized fragment of dragon bone. It was as crystal clear as jade, with some dust on the edges, and it teemed with a terrifying amount of Life Essence. Just by bringing it close for a sniff, Wang Xiu felt his body become cleansed, and the shackles weighing him down seemed to lighten.

"This is a true treasure! If these dragon bones were ground into powder, they could be used to create a true Holy Medicine for healing. It could likely bring someone on the brink of death back to full health!" Wang Xiu said with excitement as he carefully sensed the power within the fragment.

If these mere fragments are so incredible, then what about the intact bones with their clearly visible runes? How extraordinary must they be? His heart filled with yearning, and he continued to press closer.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the foot of the dragon corpse. He surveyed the expanse of glittering, crystalline dragon bones before him. They shimmered with runes, seemingly hiding endless mysteries and an unspeakably vast power.

CLANG!

He suddenly drew the Mingxue Executioner Sword. With a sharp look in his eyes, he slashed out with a beam of sword energy, its power terrifying as it struck the dragon bone.

DANG!

A crisp sound rang out!

ROAR—

The dragon bone emitted a faint glow as a deafening dragon's roar thundered through the air like rolling thunder.

Wang Xiu reacted instantly, flashing to the side.

BOOM!

A draconic shadow brushed past him and crashed into the distance, creating endless, earth-shaking ripples.

To be dead for so many years and still be capable of this... Wang Xiu marveled. It seems its body has perished but its soul has not completely dispersed. It still retains a fragmented spirit capable of deterring the wicked!

He stepped forward again to examine the spot where his sword had struck, only to find a faint white mark.

It was truly indestructible. With his current strength, a full-power strike would force even a peak Nascent Soul Venerable to temporarily evade its edge, yet this dragon bone completely ignored it. But on second thought, it made sense. Who knew what terrifying Realm this Ancient Dragon had reached before its death? After it had fallen countless years ago, its flesh had rotted away, yet its bones remained preserved to this day. How could they be so easily destroyed?

If I can find a way to smelt these dragon bones, they would be the finest materials, more than enough to forge Holy Artifacts! His eyes shone brightly.

Although he possessed the Primordial God Refining Technique and could obtain powerful materials through continuous forging, he didn't know how much effort it would take to create something comparable to the rarity of these dragon bones. Moreover, some things in this world were simply irreplaceable.

For instance... the trace of spiritual nature still lingering within these bones.

Though it had no consciousness left, if it could be used to forge Magical Treasures, their power would undoubtedly increase exponentially, making them countless times more effective than those with ordinary Artifact Spirits.

However, the dragon bones were indestructible. Smelting them would be no easy feat.

And there was another thing...

These dragon bones are so enormous, how am I supposed to move them? Wang Xiu was vexed. It was a serious problem. Even if he emptied all the Space Rings he had, discarding all his Precious Medicines, he could only fit in a tiny section of the skeleton. And that was on the premise that he could even cut the dragon bone in the first place.

But to leave such a treasure here? Wang Xiu felt as if his heart would bleed.

Forget it. I'll head up and take a look first... Using the Supreme Sensing Chapter, he observed that the treasure light above was even more blazing, suggesting something even more extraordinary lay there.

He began to climb the dragon bones.

The higher he went, the stronger the invisible pressure became, as if countless mountains were weighing down on his shoulders. Fortunately, the Life Essence here was abundant. He continuously absorbed it using the Primordial Bo Tian Scripture to replenish his stamina. Like a divine ape, he leaped continuously, agile and powerful, maintaining a steady pace as he ascended.

With no sun or moon, it was impossible to track the passage of time.

He didn't know how long it took.

He finally climbed onto the dragon's spine and was immediately captivated by the sight in the distance. At the far end of the corpse, just below the dragon's head, was a cluster of intense, dazzling treasure light, as bright as the blazing sun.
