Chapter 388: 0254 Qiongqi Godslayer (4k Request for Monthly Ticket and Subscription)_2

Sorrow, nostalgia, reverence, solitude...

The giant tiger’s skeleton was undoubtedly an ancestor of the Cha Chihu.

However, the Cha Chihu species had long been extinct.

The lonely Tiger Gall Divine Spear, felt the long-lost presence of its kin.

Lu Chenzhou could not help but tear up, whether because of the Divine Weapon or because of the desperate Wang Xian... He let go, and with a hum, the Tiger Gall Divine Spear turned into a meteor and flew towards the giant tiger’s skeleton unhesitatingly.

After the appearance of the giant tiger’s skeleton, it merely stood there, bewildered.

It had died many years ago, and even its will had been eroded by the passage of time, leaving only the last trace of lingering thoughts, not enough to propel it into action.

Suddenly, the Tiger Gall Divine Spear stabbed into the giant tiger’s skeleton, and in that moment, the will contained in the Divine Spear surged into the giant tiger’s skeleton like a flood, bursting forth with endless divine light.

The tiger’s eyes flashed with a bloody light, and it immediately looked towards the deer-headed giant beast. Driven by obsession, its bony wings swept the clouds away as it flew, its bone claws stabbing into the giant deer’s body of starlight, with an ancient aura spreading, as the Fierce Tiger appeared intent on slaying a god!

The Heavenly Tiger Clan, perished at the hands of the gods of the forbidden zone.

The long-held obsessions and hatred erupted at this moment, the giant tiger grasping the giant deer as they soared, flying high, tearing through the cloud mists and gales, the valley growing smaller until they reached the clouds in the sky, where Qi flows and lightning flickered and jumped on their bodies, eventually accumulating enough to stir the gales and clouds, forming purple thunder and boundless hurricanes.

Commanding the thunder, controlling the wild winds!

Heavenly might fell upon the giant deer, engulfing it, endless divine light scattering, the giant deer’s body gradually growing fainter, it conjured hundreds of antlers that entwined the giant tiger.

A cold voice echoed through the sky,

"Vain struggles of the already dead!"

The giant tiger’s form exploded with a roar, turning into a sky full of blood-red bone dust.

"Outsiders speaking recklessly of deities!"

"From the dawn of ancient times, we were the sovereigns of heaven and earth!"

The obsessions dissipated, the giant tiger and the giant deer perished together.

The sky returned to calm, the wild winds and thunder vanished.

The Tiger Gall Divine Spear fell from the sky, stabbing straight into the earth of the valley.

Lu Chenzhou approached and carefully examined the Divine Weapon, communicated through his heart intent, and entered the Divine Weapon World, where he saw the spirit of the Cha Chihu in the Blood Pool.

It had a complex expression, as if it had undergone some sort of transformation.

It had absorbed the last vestige of the Heavenly Tiger’s obsessions.

It had learned much, knew it was powerless to change anything.

It quietly lay beside the Blood Pool, frantically drinking the pool of Demon Blood.

"No wonder the Tiger Gall Divine Spear has the ability to quench itself with blood. The tribe of the Cha Chihu, along with the demons and the existence behind the forbidden area, must hold ancestral enmities, involving secrets of the Void Realm that are even more ancient and buried by the yellow sands."

Lu Chenzhou had originally thought the Tiger King Valley forged this weapon to hunt the Cha Chihu. Now, it seemed there might be other possibilities, past events, already like clouds of smoke.

This Divine Weapon, bore too much.

He had no time to examine the changes in the Divine Weapon. After putting it away, he ran to Wang Xian’s side, who at that moment looked like a bloodied man, his body covered with ferocious wounds, with seven wounds penetrating close to vital organs.

At that moment, Wang Xian was meditating with closed eyes, like an ascetic monk.

Lu Chenzhou’s expression tensed, he hastily called for Sister Hong.

After meditating for a moment, Sister Hong came over to check and said,

"He can control his organs and bones to shift and replace positions, none of the injuries are fatal; he’s just lost too much blood. He is currently in Turtle Breath mode to seal off the leaking of Qi Blood. Let’s see if there are any treasures, and then hurry and leave this place."

"Alright."

Lu Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief, looking up.

The sky had a few flakes of snow falling, which were the ashes of the Cha Chihu’s ancestors, as the battle just then had exhausted all the residual Mysterious Power inside the giant tiger’s skeleton.

He asked the Dog Ghost to protect Wang Xian as he started searching the vicinity.

Where the Bone Tower once stood, there was a dried-up well.

Protected by Sister Hong’s True Gang, she cautiously approached the well’s edge, where she found several light blue chains, corroded by time, yet still emanated a radiant divine light.

Looking down the well, a hybrid beast with a human head and a snake body lay inside, its skeleton devoid of life. Atop the skull rested a fist-sized blood lotus, emitting a strange fragrance, standing alone without any leaves, rooted solitarily in the skull.

On the other side, Lu Chenzhou made a round but found nothing noteworthy.

He approached the well and studied its structure, muttering,

"Red, this dry well must have been for suppressing a demon, right?"

Red, covering her hand imbued with True Gang, caressed the chains beside the well and replied,

"This is Outer Heaven Divine Iron, several times stronger than C9 alloy. It also has another name: [Outer Heaven Divine Iron]. To use so much Divine Iron to seal this demon, it must have been at least a Demon King during its life. But now its soul and spirit are scattered, and its spirituality is all gone. Your senior brother guessed right; this Bone Tower was constructed to suppress the Demon King. It relies on the divine power within those massive tiger bones to erode the dead Demon King’s will and spirituality."

Lu Chenzhou had an epiphany.

Even in death, the existence above a Demon King can incubate malevolent spirits with lingering wills continuing to cause havoc. The most direct example would be the Green Fire Master, who even after death for many years, required Heavenly King Li to continuously erode his spirit with Sword Qi.

Hence from ancient times, when a Daoist master defeated a Demon King, they usually needed to continue refining for a period to ensure its obsession dissipated, eliminating any chance of resurrection.

This Bone Tower likely adhered to the same principle, albeit its builders suspected to be indigenous civilization of the Void Realm, as Da Xia had not grasped the mysterious side powers.

Red took out a rubbing paper and bent down by the well. She made a rubbing of the strange characters around it, a hobby of hers being the study of these mystical scripts.

Her ancestors had also collected many similar scripts, later handed over to Da Xia’s specialized mystical department. This department gathered many scholars of the mystical to decode the scripts of the Lost Civilization and the Cult in the Void Realm to fight against the three evils and the Void Realm.

After making the rubbing, Red smiled and said,

"Tell your senior brother that this text is my payment for this trip. By submitting these rubbings to the Da Xia officials, I can exchange them for a considerable reward."

Lu Chenzhou was fixated on the blood lotus, recalling in his mind.

"The Heavenly Treasure Book records a Yellow Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure named [Void Blood Lotus], generally growing in the lands where a Great Demon has fallen: a hundred years to burst its body, a thousand years to blossom, three thousand years to bear lotus seeds, the seeds being of Xuan Grade [Red Lotus Seed]."

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, varied and profound.

Lu Chenzhou couldn’t be sure if this was the one mentioned in the Heavenly Treasure Book. Being treasures born from nature, even those of the same type often differ in their external features.

Moreover, this blood lotus growing on the demon’s skull was somewhat unsettling.

He was slightly worried that the demon wasn’t dead and was masquerading as a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to revive and seize his body.

Some old mythological and supernatural novels were written like this...

Red was both talented and courageous.

She directly jumped down the deep well and broke off the blood lotus together with the demon’s skull.

She laughed,

"Don’t worry, the demon is long dead."

She guessed that Lu Chenzhou was haunted by the sight of the giant tiger skeleton reviving.

Holding the blood lotus in one hand and gripping the Demon King’s skeleton with the other, she leaped out.

Boom! The ten-zhang long skeleton of the Demon King hit the ground, its remaining power still terrifying.

Red said,

"Let me pull out these chains."

She covered her hands with True Gang, her feet pressed against the well’s walls, veins in her face bulging, her arm muscles swollen and engorged, turning her delicate arms into formidable muscular ones.

"Ha!"

With a burst of brute strength, Red erupted, the chains clinking metallically, she forcefully pulled out the chains along with the massive stones connected to the wellside and tossed them aside, exhaling like a bull and said,

"According to the agreement, all these findings are yours."

Lu Chenzhou laughed,

"I alone can’t use so much Divine Iron, Red, you keep it for now. Let’s hurry and leave, and after we return to Star River City and wait for my senior brother to wake up, we can then distribute them."

Red gave a thumbs up and patted Lu Chenzhou on the shoulder.

"Alright! Let’s head back."

Even though Red was just a guide, she hadn’t held back in this battle for them, brothers risking their lives here. If she didn’t get a share, it would show Lu Chenzhou as lacking in grace. His gains from this trip had already far exceeded expectations.

The priority was to safely escort his senior brother away.
