Chapter 385 Powerful Divine Skeleton
The red mist was as red as blood, staining heaven and earth.
Zhao Mu began to slow down as she approached the core area of the dangerous land. She remained vigilant and carefully observed her surroundings.
Zhao Mu also took out the God Investiture Codex and held it tightly in her hand.
Luo Xuanji followed closely behind Zhao Mu. When she saw the God Investiture Codex, she seemed to be in deep thought.
Could it be that Zhao Mu relied on this treasure to suppress the Divine Skeleton?
It looked like a book carved from jade. There was nothing special about it.
"Woo …"
Caught off guard, a rotten corpse that emitted a foul stench leaped out from the ground and opened its mouth to bite Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu reacted quickly. She grabbed the God Investiture Codex and slammed it down.
A crisp crack resounded, and half of the Divine Skeleton's head was directly slapped away, and he instantly perished.
"This is the Divine Skeleton?
Seems like it's just so-so, "Luo Xuanji commented.
Zhao Mu looked at her strangely and said, "Why don't you give it a try later?"
"Sure, I'll give it a try."
Luo Xuanji took the initiative to walk forward, intending to test the Divine Skeleton's power.
Zhao Mu took the opportunity to use the Ancient God Vine to retrieve the remaining Divine Pearls after the Divine Skeleton died.
They continued forward, and after a short while, another Divine Skeleton entered their line of sight.
Luo Xuanji did not say anything. She raised the Formless Emperor Seal and rushed forward, smashing it repeatedly.
However, the result disappointed Luo Xuanji greatly.
An earthen yellow light erupted from the skeleton's body, and it blocked the attack of the Formless Emperor's Seal without being injured at all.
"The power of laws!"
Luo Xuanji was also very knowledgeable. She could tell at a glance that the essence of the light was the power of laws.
She immediately put away the contempt in her heart and fully unleashed her Monarch Domain. She drove the war chariot and the Iron Cavalry to charge forward, first restraining the Godly Skeleton's movements. Then, she activated the Formless Imperial Seal that had been reinforced with the power of her domain once again, launching an inhuman barrage of attacks.
After exerting all her strength, she barely managed to disperse the Divine Skeleton.
However, Luo Xuanji could not be happy about such an outcome.
Zhao Mu only used one attack to deal with the Divine Skeleton, but she was almost forced to use her full strength. The difference between them was too great.
Moreover, the commotion caused by the battle was too great. The Divine Skeletons nearby were also attracted and were rushing toward them.
"Let's retreat first."
Zhao Mu grabbed Luo Xuanji's hand and left before the Divine Remains Army arrived.
There were too many God skeletons, so it would be difficult for Zhao Mu to deal with them alone.
Moreover, when the Divine Skeleton had activated the Power of Law, it had also shocked Zhao Mu a little.
None of the God skeletons that he had dealt with earlier had been able to directly use the power of laws.
Perhaps there was a difference in strength between these divine skeletons. Even if he possessed a great weapon like the God Attainment Scripture, he absolutely couldn't let his guard down.
The main purpose of this trip was to rescue Sword Celestial Qu Liu and Immortal Master Apothecary. Before finding them, it was better not to waste time and energy.
"Your sensing ability is stronger. Can you find traces of Sword God and the others?" Zhao Mu asked as she flew.
Luo Xuanji had just recovered from the shock of the godly remains, he calmed himself down and said, "I can sense some traces, but they are intermittent and not clear enough. Anyway, let's continue flying forward, I will tell you if there are any clues."
While they were talking, the color of the sky in front of them suddenly changed. The red mist surged and dispersed. The two of them looked over and saw a giant pyramid rising from the ground. In an instant, it grew into a towering mountain, blocking their path.
Zhao Mu slammed on the brakes and stopped the flying sword to avoid crashing into the pyramid.
"What the hell is that?"
Zhao Mu was about to curse when he suddenly heard a strong buzzing sound coming from inside the pyramid.
The sound was like a demon's voice, almost shattering Zhao Mu's eardrums.
Luo Xuanji did not feel good either, and his expression became pained.
The sound was all-pervasive. Even if he sealed his five senses, it was useless. The noise lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.
The two of them seemed to have gone through a fierce battle. They landed at the foot of the pyramid and panted heavily, their faces pale.
Luo Xuanji got up with difficulty and frowned. "It's a sword chime … Only Qu Liu's Luo Fu Sword Intent has such power. This is already considered the complete form of the Luo Fu Sword Intent. Once it's used, even the Sword God will lose his lifespan. He can only use it when he's in a life-and-death situation …"
Zhao Mu had a bad feeling.
Although he had found them, they might not be able to hold on for long.
After calming down, Zhao Mu immediately began to look for the entrance to the pyramid.
Luo Xuanji also took action.
The two of them split up and circled around the pyramid before meeting at the other end.
However, they both looked disappointed.
The pyramid was a whole, and its surface was seamless. There was not even a crack to be found, let alone an entrance.
"Looks like the entrance should be underground. Let's go and see if there's a cave nearby."
As soon as Zhao Mu finished speaking, there was a sudden howl from the surroundings.
He looked up and saw hundreds of God's Skeletons rushing over. The few God's Skeletons flying at the front were enveloped in the light of the laws.
The momentum was terrifying!
Zhao Mu felt his scalp go numb. Seeing that it was too late to escape, he picked up the God Investiture Codex and went forward to fight with the God's Skeletons.
After Luo Xuanji reacted, he hurriedly activated the Formless Emperor's Seal and smashed it. Although it could not effectively kill the God's Skeletons, with the Formless Emperor's Seal's indestructible defense, it could block the God's Skeletons behind so that Zhao Mu would not be attacked from the front and back.
With Luo Xuanji covering for him, the pressure on Zhao Mu was reduced a lot. The more he smashed, the more energetic he became.
First, he avoided the God Skeletons that were protected by the laws and specifically targeted the ordinary God Skeletons. Every hit was accurate, and he quickly dealt with most of the God Skeletons.
As for the Divine Skeletons that were protected by the laws, Zhao Mu realized that most of them were not difficult to deal with. If smashing them once was not enough, he could smash them twice or thrice. At most, he could smash them three times and they would explode.
However, there was one God's Skeleton that Zhao Mu found very troublesome.
The Divine Skeleton was enveloped by a gust of wind, and its speed was inconceivably fast. With just a slight movement, afterimages filled the sky. Although Zhao Mu had the means to kill the enemy, he couldn't touch the enemy at all. Instead, he was provoked several times, and his body was wounded.
After a few rounds of tug-of-war, Zhao Mu gradually felt that the situation was not good.
Not only was the God's Skeleton astonishingly fast, but it also seemed to have decent intelligence. He didn't choose to clash head-on with Zhao Mu. Instead, he provoked Zhao Mu time and time again in order to infuriate him and exhaust his energy.
Perhaps it wanted to wait for Zhao Mu to be exhausted before making a move.
"The situation isn't looking good. Hurry up and find the entrance to the pyramid. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long." Zhao Mu transmitted her voice to Luo Xuanji.
Luo Xuanji didn't hesitate and immediately fled.
Zhao Mu gripped the God Investiture Codex tightly and confronted the remaining God Skeleton.
The God Skeleton also gained a firm foothold.
It was draped in an old earthy yellow cloak. Although its physical body had already decayed, it didn't look that terrifying. It was like a rather stylish mummy. The wind around its body gusted, and the cloak fluttered in the wind. It was rather impressive.
Just as Zhao Mu was pondering how to lure the God Skeleton to reveal its weakness, it suddenly spoke.
"Human, you shouldn't disturb Lord Mole's slumber. Now that you've awakened Lord Mole, the worst situation has already happened … Since you're also a God's descendant, I can give you a way out. As long as you give all your God Power to Lord Mole, you can leave this place alive."
