Chapter 348: Smashing the Golden Soul Fire to Death

Looking at this line of words, Lin Jiufeng fell into deep silence.

But his heart wasn’t calm.

Waves surged in it.

Emperor Yuan had been here before and left behind his words.

Lin Jiufeng read this poem carefully. He could see Emperor Yuan’s ambitions.

“This was left behind by that skeleton called Emperor Yuan. What does he mean by writing this?” Black Skeleton asked curiously.

“How would I know? But it seems that Great Emperor Jiufeng is very familiar with this Emperor Yuan,” White Skeleton said.

Black Skeleton didn’t speak. Looking at Lin Jiufeng’s current appearance, even those with a mental disability could tell.

Great Emperor Jiufeng had a close relationship with this Emperor Yuan.

Without looking back, Lin Jiufeng said, “Emperor Yuan is my younger brother!”

The two skeletons immediately squatted down and studied the bronze tablet with Lin Jiufeng, looking at it carefully.

Because it had been so long, the dust had accumulated upon it, and the bronze tablet had long been covered with dust. Therefore, one would think that it was a stone tablet at first glance.

But by removing the dust and revealing its essence, one could see that this was still a bronze tablet.

Moreover, the material of this bronze tablet was quite good, making it difficult to leave a mark.

“This material looks very tough.” Black Skeleton stretched out its finger bones and wrote forcefully on the bronze tablet, trying to leave some traces.

But no matter how hard it tried, it still couldn’t leave a trace.

Black Skeleton said solemnly, “This bronze tablet is abnormal.”

Lin Jiufeng and White Skeleton watched without blinking.

Black Skeleton had already evolved to a golden soul fire, equivalent to a Sovereign Immortal in the cultivation realm. Yet, it still couldn’t leave a trace on the bronze tablet.

What did this mean?

This proved how powerful the bronze tablet was and how terrifying the material was. It was probably impossible to leave a mark on it without reaching the Immortal King Realm.

Then…

Why was Emperor Yuan able to leave behind a poem a hundred years ago?

This was a bronze tablet where even a golden soul skeleton couldn’t leave a mark on.

“Is Emperor Yuan that powerful?” White Skeleton asked Lin Jiufeng curiously.

Black Skeleton also looked at Lin Jiufeng. It was puzzled. Was this Emperor Yuan really that powerful?

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “He isn’t that powerful. In fact, when he was in the mortal realm, he was only at the level of ordinary cultivators. He hasn’t even reached the Immortal Realm.”

Hence, Lin Jiufeng was also puzzled as to why Emperor Yuan was so powerful after entering the Death Realm.

To be able to carve words on such a tough bronze tablet and leave traces that belonged to him was incredible.

“That’s strange. This bronze tablet doesn’t look like a magic treasure either.” Black Skeleton circled the bronze tablet carefully, not letting go of a single inch. It wanted to find the origins of the bronze tablet.

But after checking for one round, it gained nothing.

“Whether this bronze tablet is a magic treasure or not, I want it.” Black Skeleton suddenly turned around and carried the bronze tablet on his back. It was very strenuous, but Black Skeleton still managed to carry it up.

“Why do you want this?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

“I’ll just treat it as carrying a brick. It’s good for smashing others. If I throw this out, even if the opponents are golden soul fire powerhouses, if they’re not on guard, their bones will still be shattered too,” Black Skeleton said in a serious manner.

“Alright, bring it along then. Let’s continue deeper into the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation and see what’s inside.” Lin Jiufeng led the way and continued to look for something in this empty hall.

Gradually, Lin Jiufeng discovered a cave.

In this cave sat a skeleton cross-legged. It was entirely golden, but the golden light had already dimmed. It was no longer as resplendent as before. It was more like a pearl covered in dust.

“His soul fire is gone,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.

“This skeleton is dead!” White Skeleton walked forward and observed carefully before saying solemnly.

“There are a few lines of words written in front of it.” Lin Jiufeng walked over and read them carefully.

White Skeleton also leaned over.

Black Skeleton immediately put down the heavy bronze tablet and ran over to look at the words.

[Death Realm doesn’t die, the mortal realm doesn’t live, Yin-Yang separation, a lifelong regret.]

[Who was I when in my previous life?]

[I want to recover my memories from when I was alive. I don’t want to live a muddled life in the Death Realm, but the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation deceived me.]

[The Divine Mountain of Reincarnation is not to be trusted!]

These few lines of words were clearly written on the ground. Lin Jiufeng swept the dust away and saw that the words had already penetrated deep into the mountain. These few lines of words seemed to have been carved with great resentment.

“This skeleton wants to come to the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation to find its previous life’s memories,” Black Skeleton immediately said.

“But it also said that the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation deceived it,” White Skeleton refuted.

“No matter what, this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation has a huge secret. If it can really help the skeletons find their memories of their previous life, the two of you can give it a try,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“I don’t dare to try. This golden soul fire skeleton looks stronger than me. Just by looking at its bones, it’s already very powerful. Even though it has been dead for many years, I still can’t crush its bones. It was probably not far from the five-colored realm. Even such a powerful skeleton died on the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation. I’m not going to be foolish and give it a try.” Black Skeleton shook its head, not daring to try.

White Skeleton was the same. It directly shook its head and said, “I’d rather break through the five-colored realm and awaken the memories of my previous life. This skeleton is quite unlucky. It’s really not far from reaching the five-colored realm. Why did it try to take a shortcut and use the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?”

“It said that the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation deceived it. What does this mean?” Black Skeleton asked.

Lin Jiufeng stood up and patted away the dust on his hands. He said, “Perhaps this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation has its own thoughts?”

These words made Black Skeleton instantly lift the bronze tablet and prepare for battle.

White Skeleton also silently observed its surroundings.

“Alright, let’s continue deeper. No matter what, we have to face it. Only by passing through the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation and the Yin River can we enter the depths of the Death Realm,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.

Like before, he took the lead to walk deeper into the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.

Behind him, White Skeleton followed.

Lastly was Black Skeleton who carried the huge and heavy bronze tablet with all its might and followed behind.

As they went deeper into the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, they didn’t encounter any other dangers along the way.

After a turn, Lin Jiufeng saw a huge dark hole.

There was no path ahead.

This dark hole was the only path.

Lin Jiufeng approached. A ball of light condensed in his palm and he threw it down.

In an instant, a light appeared in the black hole, allowing one to see everything inside.

This was a huge cave that seemed to have no end. It led all the way to the center of the mountain. Then, the ground gradually sank and surged into the depths of the earth.

It was unsure where this path led to, creating a sense of fear.

“What should we do?” White Skeleton asked.

“Go down!” Lin Jiufeng said without hesitation.

“If there’s any danger down there, we won’t be able to escape,” Black Skeleton said cautiously.

“The two of you have timid personalities. You have to change this personality. If you don’t go down now, you can only return the way you came. You guys decide.” Lin Jiufeng looked at the two skeletons and then jumped down without hesitation.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng continued to slide down as if he had fallen into the earth’s core.

He had been calculating the distance. He wasn’t afraid. Even in the dark, he was still calm.

After landing, Lin Jiufeng stepped on the ground and estimated the distance that he had calculated just now.

The current him was a few thousand feet underground.

These few thousand feet brought Lin Jiufeng to a mysterious place.

In front of him, a vast underground palace appeared. There were countless bones around it. Some were humans, some were other species, and some were animals. They were piled up like small mountains. They were all completely dead without soul fires.

This looked a little terrifying.

There were more than ten piles of bones as if this was a pit where tens of thousands of people were buried.

But Lin Jiufeng didn’t care at all. He only took a few looks. After confirming that there were no other dangers, he continued forward.

Dong! Dong!

At this moment, the two skeletons also came down. White Skeleton came down silently, but Black Skeleton brought the bronze tablet down, causing a huge sound.

Lin Jiufeng turned around. Black Skeleton’s obsession with the bronze tablet was really deep.

“Follow me slowly,” Lin Jiufeng instructed. He ignored their shock at seeing this place and continued to go deeper.

The two skeletons looked at the dozen or so bone mountains around them. The timidity in their bones made them immediately follow Lin Jiufeng closely.

The dozen or so mountains of bones indeed looked a little terrifying.

The terrain of this underground palace became increasingly open. Walking in it, Lin Jiufeng seemed to have arrived in an underground world, similar to the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple that he had encountered in the Western Desert of the mortal realm.

Moreover, there was gradually light flickering in the huge cave abode. It was actually strange glowing crystals that were embedded in the cave walls.

Suddenly, as he walked, a great sense of danger lingered in Lin Jiufeng’s heart. This was very abnormal.

At the same time, Lin Jiufeng felt a terrifying force charging out.

It was extremely fast and ferocious, happening in an instant.

Ordinary people couldn’t avoid this.

But Lin Jiufeng only frowned and directly took a step forward, avoiding this strike.

Although he avoided it, behind him, White Skeleton didn’t have such powerful perception.

Boom!

As expected, White Skeleton was struck. With a muffled sound, its entire body was sent flying like it was riding the clouds.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, save me!”

White Skeleton roared without hesitation. It knew that the only person it could rely on now was Lin Jiufeng.

As for Black Skeleton, White Skeleton didn’t even think about it.

After all, they couldn’t wait for each other to die. Although their relationship had improved a little now, just a little, White Skeleton wouldn’t shout for Black Skeleton to save it.

Lin Jiufeng had just dodged when he felt a huge and majestic force suddenly approach.

This terrifying speed caught him off guard and quickly approached.

This power was very unusual.

But Lin Jiufeng was already prepared. He directly took out the ancient battlefield sword. Under Lin Jiufeng’s control, the bone-like sword slashed over with a huge force.

Clang!

A loud sound rang out. The crisp sound of metal colliding shook one’s eardrums.

Lin Jiufeng’s frown deepened.

White Skeleton was temporarily safe.

Black Skeleton couldn’t care about anything else. It directly blocked the bronze tablet in front of White Skeleton and protected it.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, what exactly attacked us?” Black Skeleton asked loudly.

“You guys can take a look for yourselves,” Lin Jiufeng said calmly. He stared deep into the palace below and saw the person who attacked just now.

No, it was a skeleton!

This was a white skeleton. There was no flesh on its body at all. Its bones were crystal clear like white jade. It didn’t give off any sinister feeling. There was only an evil aura that made one involuntarily fearful.

This was an evil skeleton.

It had a completely different temperament from White Skeleton and Black Skeleton.

“Damn it, so it’s you who ambushed me.” White Skeleton saw the other party and scolded angrily.

“This skeleton is so arrogant. I really want to beat it up.” Black Skeleton gritted its teeth. A skeleton grinding its teeth was a little strange, but it also proved the anger in its heart.

“It’s been a long time since other skeletons have come. This time, three people came, and one of them is a spiritual body. It’s really rare. If I devour you guys, won’t I directly break through the barrier of the golden soul fire and enter the ranks of the five-colored skeletons?” This evil white skeleton let out a cackle like a night owl. Together with its evil temperament, it really would make ordinary people or people with low strength afraid.

But Lin Jiufeng didn’t even move his eyelids. He asked calmly, “How long have you been here?”

“About thousands of years, I don’t remember,” the evil white skeleton replied.

Perhaps it was because Lin Jiufeng was a spiritual body and was more valuable than the other two skeletons, it patiently answered Lin Jiufeng’s question.

“You stayed here all the time? Why don’t you go out?” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.

“If I can leave, then why are there so many bones outside, piled up like mountains?” The evil white skeleton smiled in disdain and said.

“So, you killed those skeletons?” Lin Jiufeng frowned.

“I only killed some skeletons that overestimated their capabilities. The others were all killed by others. I’m not interested in ordinary people. It’s not like I survived by absorbing the soul fires of other skeletons all these years.” The evil white skeleton stared at Lin Jiufeng and sneered.

“Since you don’t need to absorb the soul fires of others, why did you target us?” Lin Jiufeng frowned.

“Because you guys are too delicious. One solidified remnant soul and two pure skeletons without any impurities. This is really too rare. I will definitely taste you guys well.” The fire in the evil white skeleton’s eyes instantly flickered. The pure gold fire was very bright, and a terrifying aura spread out.

It could no longer endure it.

“I’m hungry.” The evil white skeleton pounced over.

Lin Jiufeng was extremely calm. He even turned around and said to Black Skeleton, “Only now do I feel that it’s useful for you to bring the bronze tablet with you.”

Black Skeleton was instantly surprised.

White Skeleton was the same. It watched Lin Jiufeng’s operation in a daze.

Lin Jiufeng grabbed the heavy bronze tablet with one hand and directly threw it up.

Then, it directly smashed onto the evil white skeleton.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the evil white skeleton that was originally full of confidence and wanted to eat its fill was directly smashed into pieces by the bronze tablet. It was directly pressed onto the ground, unable to resist at all.

With his strength and the toughness of the bronze tablet, Lin Jiufeng directly smashed a golden soul fire skeleton to death.
