Slowly pushing the door open, there was no sign of the giant beast or any danger that had been imprisoned within, but the scene inside the room was quite eerie.
A massive chair was positioned facing the entrance. Unlike an ordinary chair, this one was entirely crafted from white bones, with two skulls serving as armrests.
"Is this the Necromancer?" This chair resembled the Frozen Throne from World of Warcraft, except that the backrest made of bones had a more sinister and bizarre feel compared to one made of sharp blades.
Sitting in the chair was a gigantic Skeleton, which, judging by its size, was likely not human.
The Skeleton stood over three meters tall, with its upper limbs longer than its lower limbs and its joints notably thick. However, the head of the Skeleton was disproportionately small—its skull was even smaller than a palm!
The Skeleton was entirely white, as if carved from ivory, and there wasn't a speck of dust on it. Although it had been dead for quite some time, its eyes still gazed toward the room's entrance, as if it were guarding this space.
"Is this a demon?" I asked Shaoming. "What kind of demon?"
"From its appearance, it should belong to the Monkey Clan, but there are many types of demons within the Monkey Clan," Shaoming pondered before analyzing.
"Stone Monkey? Gibbon? Six-Eared Macaque? Or Red-Assed Monkey?"
"Those are Four Deity Monkeys; they have nothing to do with demons. Those are all divine beasts."
"Oh."
I seemed to be somewhat familiar with those four.
"Then is this Demon Tomb a grave of the Monkey Clan?"
"It shouldn't be; the Monkey Clan doesn't practice earth burial. They prefer cremation."
"Is it really that advanced?" I asked in surprise. "How do you explain this skeleton in front of us?"
"How would I know?" Shaoming shot me a glance, then walked over to the skeleton. "Master, come look. There are inscriptions on this skeleton."
"Inscriptions? Are there writings on the skeleton? Does that mean this Skeleton died before arriving here? Otherwise, how could there be inscriptions on its bones?"
"Let me take a look."
Indeed, there were very fine markings on the ribs and arm bones of the Skeleton.
"Spiritual Sight!!!"
Without activating Spiritual Sight, I couldn't see what was written clearly. However, once I activated it, I realized that these characters were not from any human historical script.
Although I couldn't recognize those ancient characters, I could at least discern the type of script they belonged to, as all writing throughout history has some basis for its creation. But these characters... they resembled twisted worms entangled with one another.
"This is the ancient script of the demon race. Since the fall of the Ancient Court, this type of writing has rarely appeared," Shaoming explained from the side. "Perhaps Luan's uncle still recognizes these characters."
Golden-Winged Peng? Yes, it's possible; after all, he has lived since the end of the Primordial Era.
Our world has gone through several eras. The first is called the Chaos Era, which is the time before Pangu opened up the earth. Following that was Pangu's initial opening of the earth, a time when everything was still quite unstable, known as the Primordial Era. The characteristic of the Primordial Era was that Earth Spirit Energy was extremely violent, yet many Deities rose to prominence during that time.
The end of the Primordial Era was caused by a Deity—the Water God Gonggong.
The Water God Gonggong and the Fire God Zhu Rong had a great battle, and when the Water God lost, it resulted in a tragic outcome: Gonggong furiously struck Buzhou Mountain!
Buzhou Mountain was a pillar, and after the pillar collapsed, the rivers fell, covering the world with water. Fortunately, the Earth Mother, Nuwa, collected stones to repair the sky.
At this point, the land was finally completely separated, giving rise to the current Heaven and the human realm. At that time, the human race had not yet been born, so soon after, the Heaven was occupied by the demon race.
After the establishment of the Ancient Court, Nuwa had a sudden idea one day to create humans by the Yellow River. Thus, humanity finally appeared on the historical stage.
Why is humanity's understanding better than that of the demon race? Because all humans are born as Dao Bodies!
Before humanity existed, demons had to condense a Dao Body to reach higher levels. The so-called Dao Body consists of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, Viscera, and most importantly, the Dantian, also known as the Mud Pill Palace!
However, when Nuwa created humans, she cleverly made them in the form of Dao Bodies and underestimated their reproductive abilities.
The human race quickly thrived; soon enough, the demons in the human realm were no match for them. At that time, humans still lived in tribes.
The true catalyst for the conflict between humanity and the Ancient Court originated from 'Hou Yi Shoots the Suns'! From this moment on, the Ancient Court began to oppress humanity and isolate them.
Later on, humanity's momentum grew stronger and stronger, leading to a final confrontation between the Ancient Court and humanity in a War of the Gods!
After the Investiture of the Gods, the Ancient Court ultimately declined; even the then-emperor Eastern Emperor Taiyi disappeared without a trace. The Ancient Court Era officially ended!
Then came the era of the Three Realms, which has continued to this day.
The Three Realms consist of Heaven, the human realm, and Underworld. Of course, this is just a history above Heaven; later on, human power split into Buddhism and Taoist Sect. However, Buddhism had no ambitions; Buddha is actually a symbol of human wisdom. These are all stories for another time.
Therefore, it is quite normal that ancient demon characters have been passed down to today without anyone recognizing them. After all, even today's demons no longer use ancient demon characters.
"However, this might be the Blood Cultivation we are looking for." Shaoming said, "And it is very likely that it is the kind of conscious Blood Cultivation that hasn't been transformed into an Evil Technique."
"Then let's take it back, but my Seed Bag isn't big enough; I can only take the parts with writing on them."
I also wanted to take the entire Skeleton, but my Seed Bag wasn't large enough! I had no choice but to settle for less.
"Alright, although this is disrespectful to our ancestors of the demon race, there's nothing we can do." Shaoming agreed, "I just wonder if anyone in Tushan can recognize these characters. If they do, it will be easier."
"Let's take it back and give it a try." I casually replied, reaching out to grab a bone.
As soon as my hand touched the gleaming white bone, the Skeleton suddenly moved. It grabbed my hand and flung me into the air; I crashed against the door before I could stop myself.
"Master!!!" Shaoming exclaimed in terror.
The Azure Flower Robe on me absorbed most of the impact, but I still felt a sharp pain where I hit the door. Those thick bone joints and hands were incredibly strong, even though they were just bones.
"Shaoming, step back!!!"
Shaoming was not as strong as before; her power had been significantly weakened, though she was never that strong to begin with.
"Three Talents Sword Formation!!!"
Three Flying Swords shot from my hand, surrounding the Skeleton.
"Three Talents Killing Formation!"
Three Flying Swords began to rotate around a center, their tips occasionally stabbing at the weak points of the Skeleton.
After all, being an inanimate object, the Skeleton showed no intention of retreating from the attacks. It took a large step forward, spreading its palm and directly looming over my head.
With the Exorcism Talisman in hand, I drew my mana onto the Yellow Talisman and pressed it against the Skeleton.
Generally, the Exorcism Talisman has a suppressive effect on these lost souls.
However, it seemed to have little effect on this Skeleton.
I quickly activated the Wind Walking Technique to dodge the Skeleton's attack and grasped a piece of its bone with writing on it, twisting it forcefully.
The ribs are one of the more fragile parts of the bone structure; after all, their appearance suggests so. With a loud "crack!", I broke off one rib directly.
This bone isn't as hard as I thought? No, it shouldn't be that way; the Skeleton's palm is still quite sturdy. The attack that I dodged earlier struck the ground, creating a Bottomless Pit!
For this type of Skeleton, burning it would be the best method. However, I can't do that right now since there are things I need from its bones! If I burn it like this, I'd be heartbroken.
The room is not very suitable for combat; well then, let's settle this!
A bundle of ropes appeared in my hand. With a gust of wind at my feet, I wrapped the ropes around the Skeleton.
This is what Zongzi is! Why can glutinous rice restrain Zongzi? Because Zongzi is wrapped in glutinous rice! Glutinous rice is useful enough; let alone the ropes used to wrap Zongzi!
Inside the coffin, Yin Zheng'an slowly stood up, his eyes a mix of black and white.
"That's it, I've encountered the Evil Master." Earthwalker thought, realizing that this fight couldn't be taken lightly; one wrong move and he could end up here for good.
If I can just push him back into the coffin, everything should be fine, right? But looking at this situation, it seems that as soon as I get close, it's a death sentence! Earthwalker involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Don't come any closer!" Earthwalker pulled out a Tiger Claw Talisman from his pocket and activated the Yellow Talisman given to him by Yin Zheng'an.
The Exorcism Talisman emitted several beams of golden light. There was no other choice; even the trump card had to be used wisely.
The golden light traced a mysterious rune in the air and struck directly at Yin Zheng'an.
With a sizzling sound, a burning noise erupted from Yin Zheng'an's body, and at the same time, he began to retreat.
"It's working!" Earthwalker exclaimed joyfully. It seems that what the boss gave me is indeed effective! This thing really works against those with Evil Energy!
"Time to go back," Earthwalker said as he thrust the Luoyang Shovel directly at Yin Zheng'an.
The Luoyang Shovel struck Yin Zheng'an's shoulder, forcing him to stagger backward and directly into the coffin.
Earthwalker quickly pushed the coffin lid back down and then turned around like a madman, pushing open the door and running outside.
As soon as he stepped out, Earthwalker felt something was off; this didn't feel like a tomb passage.
Looking up, he found himself in an open space filled with hanging corpses on the ceiling.
