Chapter 445: Chapter 294 Please Behead Me!

This majestic door towered grandly.

A plaque hung above, engraved with divine script, its words read: Yin Yang Bureau.

In the open space before the steps, everyone had already set foot, gazing into the distance.

Though it was but a single gate, it bore the vicissitudes of the ages, an ancient and substantial feeling assaulting the senses.

In the distant past, this place too had its brilliant glory, until today, when only dead stillness remained.

The crowd had come here to explore this Yin Yang Bureau, but unexpectedly, they found a corpse lying in front of the door.

It was about three meters tall, a headless corpse.

The years had turned it to ancient bone.

However, its posture was upright, standing tall and dignified as if its majesty lingered on.

Strong as the East Mountain Prefecture Master of the Refining God Realm, and Mr. Lu, a temple priest also of the Refining God Realm, exchanged glances, feeling an indescribable pressure.

"Such a formidable presence."

Lv Tang, gripping his long halberd in hand, spoke somberly, "How powerful must he have been in life if even after so many years in death, his skeletal corpse still emanates such divine might?"

Mr. Lu did not respond, but handed over a Spirit Talisman to the only old Martial Artist remaining from the East Mountain Prefecture.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

The elder sighed with relief as he took the Spirit Talisman, which warded off some of the oppressive force, allowing him to catch his breath.

"It’s nothing."

Mr. Lu nodded slightly.

Martial Artists of the Refining Essence Realm, in the eyes of the world, were already capable of slaying evil and eradicating demons, far beyond ordinary humans.

Yet even in the vicinity of this skeletal corpse, breathing was difficult, and they felt faintly dizzy.

Moreover, this elder practiced an ancient method with significant risks, and although he had not developed any aberrant True Qi, his Qi-Blood had become depleted, showing signs of losing control even now.

The Martial Artists from East Mountain Prefecture present had all been carefully selected by the current Prefecture Master.

Among them were elders, but there was also a group like the Deputy Commander, on the brink of losing control.

But they were all devoted to the Human Clan, willing to use their waning lives as scouts.

Though Mr. Lu was decisive and could suppress the compassion in his heart, watching them go to their deaths one by one, he couldn’t hide the respect he felt for them.

"Having reached this place, there should be no need to risk your lives to scout further; rest well."

As Mr. Lu spoke, he moved forward.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master, however, took a step ahead, arriving at the gate first.

The door of the Yin Yang Bureau was not tightly closed, leaving a slight gap.

The Yin energy seeping out was most unsettling to the living.

Even the tendrils on the body of the East Mountain Prefecture Master grew much faster.

Approaching it, the might grew increasingly profound.

Upon closer inspection, the skeletal corpse had thrust its arms through the bronze rings of the double doors, with hands tightly clasped and interlocked in a cross.

"Such a figure, with such high cultivation, is unimaginable... He wouldn’t fall short of a ’New God’ fused with a Blessed Land!"

Mr. Lu mused aloud.

The East Mountain Prefecture Master frowned and said, "Perhaps He is a New God!"

Mr. Lu did not inquire further, but looked around and said, "The doors of the Yin Yang Bureau are not fully closed, and Yin energy is leaking out. The corpse should not decay, yet this predecessor has turned to bone."

The East Mountain Prefecture Master, with Mana swirling in his hand, caressed the white bone before slightly shaking his head and saying, "It appears to be bone, but it’s actually as warm and smooth as jade, containing a mighty power within, worthy of being called a Divine Bone!"

This made the East Mountain Prefecture Master’s expression somewhat complex.

He had forged his Primordial Spirit using Old God’s Magical Objects, which left his physical body somewhat weaker in comparison.

Seeing such a bone whose divine might did not dissipate even in death, he couldn’t help but marvel.

"Even someone at the pinnacle of the Refining God Realm, who regularly refines his body with Mana during conflicts and has what could be called a Divine Body..."

Mr. Lu said, "...will, after death, see his Mana exhausted and his remaining bones, though they contain a hint of divinity, will eventually erode over the ages, indistinguishable from ordinary bone."

Everything before them signified that the owner of these Divine Bones was an incredibly powerful being in life.

As Mr. Lu continued his investigation, he concluded, "In the gap of the Yin Yang Bureau’s doorway, enduring the erosion of Yin energy day and night, the flesh still decays, and there are only two explanations..."

"First, this person’s cultivation was so high it’s hard to imagine. After death, the Yin energy couldn’t erode even a bit of his flesh, and so the body did not change into something evil."

"Moreover, in accordance with the principles of heaven and earth, he turned into skeletal remains with the passage of time. Now, even with its jade bones and divine power, it has not been corrupted by the Yin energy."

Hearing this, the East Mountain Prefecture Master nodded slightly.

He felt this was the only explanation!

So he asked, "And the second?"

Mr. Lu spoke slowly, "The second explanation is that the great hall of the Yin Yang Bureau was completely sealed, and after this predecessor fell, his flesh was not eroded by the Yin energy..."

"A completely sealed door?"

The East Mountain Prefecture Master furrowed his brows, looking at the gap in the door before him, a contemplative expression on his face, and asked, "What makes you think so?"

"This Divine Bone, it is missing its skull."

Mr. Lu looked at the top of the break and said, "Judging by the traces left on the remaining bones, it has been at least a few thousand years since they fell... but look at this wound; though it also has been there for some time, it cannot have been more than a hundred years."

"From this, it is clear that the skull was cut off later."

"And considering the cut marks, it was severed from behind."

"Also, observe the arms; they pass through the bronze rings of the door, the fingers tightly locked, dead but unyielding, as if locked!"

"The old man guesses that this predecessor’s actions, like your current intentions, are similar."

"Sacrificing one’s life to seal this Forbidden Land, then using the physical body to die fighting against the door, completely sealing the Formation."

After a pause, Mr. Lu said, "However, this predecessor’s cultivation in life is not something you can compare with."

"I see that."

The East Mountain Prefecture Master said, "This predecessor had such profound cultivation, perhaps a New God holding the highest town object within a Blessed Land! He sealed this place, perhaps for thousands of years..."
