C1244 Mount Nethermountain
The skeleton shook its head and sighed. Its eyes were red and sad, as if it were reminiscing.
"Sigh...."
Suddenly, the skeleton sighed with a lonely expression.
"I was once a Sovereign, but now I have to use the body of an ant to survive."
"Unfortunately, I'm too weak right now and can't leave the Dark Nether Mountain."
The skeletal Division Leader sighed with regret and hatred.
It turned out to be the Sovereign of the Dark Nether World, the one who had once swept across the entire Qing-Yun Realm. It had unparalleled battle-power and shook the entire universe!
However, several thousand years ago, the Sovereign of the Nether World was severely injured and lost consciousness.
Coincidentally, there was a treasure in the depths of the Dark Nether Mountain that was extremely useful to Sovereign Nether, so he had been guarding it.
"I've been in seclusion here for several thousand years and spent a lot of resources. With the help of that item, I've finally recovered some of my strength and can leave the Dark Nether Mountain."
"However, all of my cultivation techniques came from that treasure."
The skeletal Division Leader sighed and continued, "If you want to obtain treasures, you first need to break the Dark Demon Suppressing Array!"
"Brat, I will give you a chance. Submit me and let me possess you. Otherwise, don't blame me for destroying you!"
The skeleton stared at Zhou Yan with a fierce gaze.
"Hehe, Supreme Netherworld?"
Zhou Yan sneered and said indifferently: "Do you think I was scared?"
Zhou Yan understood that the Netherworld Demon Suppressing Array was the great defensive array of the core region of the Netherworld Mountain.
The skeleton had just woken up and had yet to recover its strength. If it wanted to defeat the Netherworld Chain, it would have to pay a heavy price.
Now, wanting to take away the fortune from him was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
"You don't know life from death!"
The skeleton harrumphed coldly and released a cold aura that turned into black smoke that turned into a sharp spike that stabbed over.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wherever the awl passed, space would distort and a crack would appear, giving off a terrifying aura.
"The Netherworld Mountain is indeed terrifying!"
Zhou Yan's expression was serious. He did not dare to hesitate as he took a step forward and rushed out.
Swish!
In an instant, Zhou Yan burst out with his full speed. Like a falling meteor, he dodged the sharp awl attack and appeared in front of the skeleton.
Boom ~
The giant lightning hammer carried a surging baleful aura as it descended like Mount Tai. It carried an endless aura of destruction and was about to shatter the skeleton.
However, the skeleton's eyes were red as it thrust out its palm and blocked the attack.
Bam!
A muffled explosion sounded as the skeleton took half a step back. Blood leaked from the corner of its mouth, and its expression was cold.
"You're very strong!"
The skeleton licked its blood and spoke in a cold tone, "Unfortunately, I don't have any advantage. Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black aura around the skeleton turned into shadows that attacked.
The dark shadow, or shadow, gave off a cold and wicked aura that seemed to be able to devour all sentient beings.
"What kind of power is this?"
Zhou Yan frowned as a dangerous aura appeared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a short moment, the skeleton attacked crazily. Every time it waved its palm, it would attract numerous shadows that turned into ghost arrows that shot towards Zhou Yan.
"These shadows...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Zhou Yan trembled in fear as he felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire. His body was stiff and he could not move.
The shadow was like a maggot attached to his bones as it continuously corroded Zhou Yan's blood essence and seeped into his internal organs, causing his bloodline to gradually weaken.
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and felt anxious. Once his blood essence was exhausted, even if the skeleton did not make a move, he would still die because of it.
Rumble ~
Right at this moment, a thought flashed through Zhou Yan's mind as the sound of a bell ringing resounded in his mind.
"This is..."
Zhou Yan's eyes widened in shock as his heartbeat suddenly sped up, filled with fear and excitement.
"Divine Ability, True Fire Furnace!"
In an instant, Zhou Yan activated the Burning Technique as the Nascent Soul in his Dantian emitted a bright light and a crimson flame.
"Chi, chi, chi ~ ~"
Hot steam rose from the surface of Zhou Yan's skin as his skin and flesh quickly transformed. As if it was made of steel, it was filled with a heavy and sturdy feeling.
At the same time, a furnace appeared out of thin air and hung high above Zhou Yan's head. Hot magma poured down and filled the air with an astonishing temperature.
"Ah ~ ~ ~"
Zhou Yan let out a miserable cry as his entire body ignited with raging flames that burned his bones.
However, not only did the burns not weaken, but they even became more intense, causing Zhou Yan to roll around on the ground in pain.
This lava was born from the Heart of Magma. It possessed shocking power and could burn everything in its path.
"This is... a divine ability!?"
The skeleton's eyes trembled in disbelief as it watched this scene.
Divine abilities were extremely precious. Even some lord dynasties didn't have them.1
Zhou Yan's cultivation was low, but he was still able to use a divine ability. This went against common sense.
"No matter who you are, since you have come here, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"
Immediately after, the skeleton laughed sinisterly, its killing intent overflowing to the heavens.
Huhu ~
The skeleton reached out with its hand, and black tentacles wrapped around the furnace and started to pull in an attempt to collect the technique.
However, the divine ability furnace was firmly nailed to the top of Zhou Yan's head. It did not move an inch and was as stable as a rock. No matter how hard the skeleton struggled, it could not move an inch.
"What's going on!?"
The skeleton was stunned. Its face was filled with confusion and disbelief.
It remembered clearly that it had only just woken up at the peak of the Dark Nether Mountain and only had a wisp of its soul left. Its strength wasn't even 1%.
But now?
After absorbing a mysterious seed, it had recovered 80-90% of its strength and perfectly countered Zhou Yan.
If this continued, wouldn't it be able to kill Zhou Yan and steal his fortune?!
"Something's not right! There must be a problem!"
The skeleton's eyes flashed as it immediately sensed that something was wrong.
After all, it had been sleeping for hundreds of years and had forgotten everything that had happened during that period of time.
"Little guy, stop struggling!"
The skeleton grinned and said: "This is a forbidden technique of the underworld, it's called the 'Cage of the Underworld'. Only those that cultivate it can comprehend it!"
The Hell's Cage used the water of the underworld to form a cage that trapped the enemy and restricted their consciousness.
In other words, as long as he was trapped, Zhou Yan would be like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Water of the Netherworld!?"
Hearing that, Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as it wasn't a shadow.
The Water of the Netherworld had the ability to seal one's spiritual consciousness and mind, which suited him perfectly.
* Crash! *
In the next instant, a drop of sparkling and translucent jade green water drilled out of Zhou Yan's chest.
As the jade green water droplet appeared, the surrounding space fluctuated violently. One could vaguely see a ball of green light hidden within.
"Divine Ability!?"
The skeleton was stunned and almost doubted its own eyes.
"Water of the Netherworld, seal!"
Zhou Yan shouted lightly as the green water droplets rose into the air and formed a net that covered the entire Netherworld Cave.
