"The great skeleton spoke, and before his opponent could react, extended one hand towards the mountain, taking a swipe in the void.
A dark-as-ink coffin lid burst out of the mountain.
Rushing straight towards the great skeleton.
A howl of indignant rage came suddenly from the peaceful mountain.
A hand flew out, trying to catch the coffin lid!
The great skeleton replied with a lightning-fast punch!
The punch was a form from the Three Talents Boxing Technique - the Heavenly Fist!
The punch tore through the void with a power that smashed the arm in an instant, creating a thunderous boom and shaking the heavens.
Chu Mo felt an illusion as if the entire sky was trembling.
He felt like his own body was about to shatter completely.
A light beam emitted directly from the great skeleton, holding Chu Mo in place.
Chu Mo watched in shock as the arm that had extended from the mountain was punched back by the great skeleton.
The dark coffin lid was gripped firmly in the skeleton's hand.
Then, the great skeleton grabbed Chu Mo with his other hand and started running!
Everything happened so fast that Chu Mo had no time to think.
In the blink of an eye, the great skeleton had covered thousands of miles. His speed was as fast as lightning, beyond belief!
Chu Mo realized the great skeleton was using the Ghostly Wind Step!
From the mountain, consecutive roars of wrath echoed, and a figure was chasing them with an equally incredible speed.
Chu Mo was dumbfounded. He didn't know why the great skeleton would cause trouble and steal someone's coffin lid, only knowing that they had offended a formidable enemy.
The figure was brimming with an overwhelming aura and endless killing intent, as if fully incensed.
The great skeleton didn't seem to care, just kept running with Chu Mo.
Though it was just a skeleton, Chu Mo got a sly and crafty vibe, as if it was a thief who had successfully stolen something.
The chasing Beiming Supreme Venerable was furious. His roar resonated, causing the sky to incessantly collapse, like an apocalypse.
Chu Mo remembered the Realm Spirit once mentioned that this place, Guixu, was very different. A place chosen by a Supreme Venerable as their burial ground was undeniably extraordinary. But at this moment, the enraged Beiming Supreme Venerable seemed to want to rip Guixu apart.
He was chasing wildly.
Even stepping and crushing two of the tombs Chu Mo had seen before. Those tombs once emitted a terrifying pressure, but at this moment, they were stepped on and destroyed by the Beiming Supreme Venerable without making a sound.
In this way, the great skeleton had been running for more than half a month.
During this time, Chu Mo went from being terrified to getting used to this situation, and began focusing on his cultivation every day.
He had come to notice the vastness of Guixu, which was far beyond his imagination.
It seemed endless.
Finally, the great skeleton stopped, after crossing a range of mountains and arriving at a massive plain.
Very soon, the relentless figure pursuing them also stopped there.
Chu Mo turned his head, trying hard to look at the Beiming Supreme Venerable, but couldn't see anything clearly, just a figure wrapped in a hazy glow.
Even though he couldn't see the figure clearly, he could sense the boundless rage.
A surge of thought, carrying endless anger, came rolling in.
"Why did you steal my coffin lid?"
For some reason, Chu Mo suddenly felt the urge to laugh uproariously.
A Supreme Venerable chasing after a coffin board for over half a month ... this was becoming so ridiculous.
"Just borrowed it, will return it later." The large skeleton replied simply, with an overwhelming outpour of thoughts.
"Don't think just because you're ... I won't dare touch you." The Beiming Supreme Venerable hesitated mid-sentence, avoiding mentioning a certain name. The remaining part of his statement sent out a feeling of seeming fierce but actually timid.
What kind of existence could make a Supreme so apprehensive? Was this a joke? Chu Mo felt like his faith was collapsing.
He remembered very clearly the saying: For the Emperor's path, there's a trail to follow; for the Supreme's path, there are no routes.
Even in the Heavenly Realm, across ten thousand ages, there weren't many living beings that had achieved the Supreme status!
At this moment, the large skeleton sent out a thought, "I owe you a favor."
Chu Mo's mouth twitched. Right now, he really felt that although the large skeleton was on his side, it was very annoying.
Running away with someone's coffin board and, after all the fleeing, facing the extremely angry pursuer, he could still brazenly say he owed him a favor... this left Chu Mo speechless.
But what Chu Mo didn't expect was that the Beiming Supreme Venerable on the other side seriously pondered for a moment and replied, "You?"
"Yes." The large skeleton nodded.
"Your ... behind you..." The Beiming Supreme Venerable began to negotiate.
This left Chu Mo utterly speechless. A supposed dead Supreme and a being capable of contending with a Supreme were bargaining like ordinary people haggling over vegetables!
Could anything else be more absurd? It seemed that the longer you lived, the more you could see.
"Just me." The large skeleton replied.
Chu Mo saw that the Beiming Supreme Venerable in the ball of light seemed rather disgruntled, yet also somewhat helpless. Although the Beiming Supreme Venerable was standing on top of a group of mountains, he refused to take even one step onto this plain.
In the end, the Beiming Supreme Venerable finally compromised and sent out a thought, "Remember your words."
"Don't worry." The large skeleton gave an affirmative reply.
"I don't want this anymore." The Beiming Supreme Venerable fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said this.
"Thank you." The large skeleton replied.
At this moment, the Beiming Supreme Venerable glanced at Chu Mo, didn't say a word, and walked away. Like a beam of light, he vanished instantly.
Although the other side was within the light, that glance made Chu Mo feel like his heart was leaping out his chest, as if his soul was about to shatter. Fortunately, the other side just took one look at him and left.
Chu Mo let out a sigh of relief and said to the large skeleton, "You're clearly capable of communication, why pretend to be mute with me?"
The large skeleton first set Chu Mo down on the ground, then pointed to its own head.
" ..." Chu Mo rolled his eyes in frustration, feeling like dying.
At this moment, the large skeleton sat down cross-legged, placed the black coffin board on the ground, and put Chu Mo directly on top of the coffin lid.
"What are you doing?" Chu Mo felt fire creep up his backside and wanted to stand up.
Are you kidding me, sitting on a dead Supreme Venerable's coffin board? Could anything be more outrageous? Even though the Beiming Supreme Venerable had said he didn't want it, Chu Mo still felt a chill down to his bones.
But the large skeleton merely pressed him down, then made a gesture.
Chu Mo immediately understood. He was asking him to run his cultivation technique.
What was the skeleton trying to do?
At this point, Chu Mo was entirely at a loss as to what the large skeleton was thinking.
