Chapter 299: Chapter 290: Bones Like Mountains

Mo Wangchen’s expression dramatically changed, but his reaction was swift. He stepped backward, causing the ground to crack. Although his cultivation was suppressed, his Divine King Body remained powerful.

Boom!

He threw a fierce punch and struck the skeleton rushing towards him, breaking off its hand bone.

What astonished Mo Wangchen was that his punch felt like hitting a huge mountain; the skeleton was terrifyingly strong. Even though it was long dead, it still possessed immense power.

He could only imagine that, in life, this person’s cultivation must have reached at least the Saint Venerable Realm!

While thinking this, Mo Wangchen did not relax. He threw another punch and shattered the other hand bone, then reached out and gripped the already fractured skull.

After all, this was a being dead for ten thousand years. He didn’t know what terrifying ability within the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range allowed their skeletons to move as if they were alive.

Crack!

With a forceful squeeze of his palm, Mo Wangchen crushed the skull into powder.

With that, the headless skeleton slowly collapsed and disintegrated into powder, scattering with the wind.

"This person has been dead for an endless amount of time, with only a skeleton remaining, and shouldn’t have any consciousness, yet it suddenly attacked me..."

The skeletons seemed as alive as humans, which was shocking enough. But now, Mo Wangchen felt that the situation was far from simple. It seemed that some force within the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range was controlling the skeleton he’d just encountered.

...

After taking a deep breath, he no longer dwelled on it and continued walking up the mountain.

After walking for a moment, Mo Wangchen suddenly stopped, his face filled with surprise. On the hillside ahead, there was a white expanse—a multitude of skeletons moving as if they were alive, covering the mountain. It was a sight that made one’s scalp tingle.

Creak, creak!

The skeletons moved through the mountains, making clear, sharp noises. Suddenly, as if they sensed Mo Wangchen’s presence, they all turned to look at him. At that moment, the multitude of skeletons, as if revitalized by Mo Wangchen’s arrival, activated.

Rumble!

A dense mass now surged towards him. The ground trembled slightly. The skeletons were everywhere, a veritable mountain of bones.

Mo Wangchen’s face turned pale, but he did not back down. With his Divine King Body and potent physique, and already halfway up the mountain, he could not simply give up.

Boom!

He took a step forward, his Divine King Body unleashing its ultimate power, plunging into the mountain of corpses.

Boom! Boom!

With each explosive sound, Mo Wangchen moved like a reaper on the battlefield. Each punch he landed was powerful, as if shaking a great mountain, causing any skeleton struck to burst violently.

His face showed no fear; his Divine King Body was the strongest physique throughout the ages in Beiming. These skeletons, once powerful beings from various eras of Beiming, could not withstand the power of Mo Wangchen’s body despite being able to move.

Boom! Boom!

He fought his way through, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally cleared a path and stepped onto the open ground at the mountain’s summit.

Even though he had destroyed many skeletons in battle, they still accumulated like a mountain, swarming like ants. Fortunately, there seemed to be some power at the summit that they feared.

Once Mo Wangchen stepped onto it, the surge of approaching skeletons retreated.

"Phew!"

Mo Wangchen let out a long breath of relief.

Looking ahead, not far in front was a pitch-black cave entrance and beyond that, there was nothing else.

He frowned slightly, "Could the Holy Medicine be inside as the rumors suggested..."

With that thought in mind, after hesitating for a moment, Mo Wangchen finally decided to step inside. Since he had come this far, how could he give up halfway?

Buzz!

The moment he entered the cave, a terrifying pressure enveloped him, like a massive mountain bearing down, causing Mo Wangchen’s body to tense up.

After a while, he had somewhat adapted and, with difficulty, moved his feet, walking deeper into the cave.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly, an exotic fragrance wafted towards him. Mo Wangchen’s eyes lit up as he saw a faint glow not far away, "Holy Medicine?!"

As he approached the source of the light, he discovered it was indeed an Exotic Grass, and right there, beside the Exotic Grass, was a figure.

It was a person, bent over with hands on the Exotic Grass, frozen in that position, immobile.

For this person had become a petrified statue!

As Mo Wangchen got closer and made out the person’s features, he was shocked. This person was none other than the Piaomiao Saint Venerable!

"Could this Holy Medicine petrify people into stone?!" A surge of fear crossed his mind, clearly, the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had become petrified while picking this Holy Medicine due to some mysterious power.

"But wait... there’s still a vital force present in him!"

Soon, Mo Wangchen felt something. Even though the Piaomiao Saint Venerable had turned into a statue, Mo Wangchen could distinctly feel a flicker of life force emanating from him.

Frowning, Mo Wangchen was determined to rescue the Piaomiao Saint Venerable, no matter what; he couldn’t just stand by.

With this thought, he walked over to the Holy Medicine. Frowning, he extended his hand, intending to pluck the Holy Medicine.

Buzz buzz!

However, just as his hand was about to touch the Holy Medicine, Mo Wangchen felt a strange force emanating from it, beginning to petrify his hand, starting from his fingers and moving upward.

Startled, he tried to withdraw his hand, but at the same moment, a surge of powerful energy burst from the Spirit Sea within his body, repelling the mysterious force from the Holy Medicine.

His hand was restored!

Mo Wangchen’s eyes brightened, and he reached out once more.

Buzz buzz!

Buzz buzz!

The Holy Medicine shone brightly, the strange force within it restlessly roiling, seemingly wanting to petrify Mo Wangchen completely. However, the continuous flow of Spiritual Power from within his Spirit Sea suppressed this force, preventing it from affecting Mo Wangchen at all.

Finally, Mo Wangchen touched the Holy Medicine and, with a flash of determination in his eyes, he uprooted the entire plant without a moment’s hesitation!

Buzz!

The space trembled slightly, and the next moment, the mysterious power dissipating from the Supreme Medicine suddenly vanished, leaving it powerless to petrify anyone any longer.

At the same time, the Piaomiao Saint Venerable, who had long since turned into a statue, had layers of stone flakes shedding from him and moments later, he revived.
