Chapter 349: Crystal Skull

With a bang, Lin Jiufeng directly swung the bronze tablet and smashed a golden soul flame skeleton to death.

The powerful golden soul flame of this evil skeleton was something that even Black Skeleton couldn’t compare to. It had already been at the golden soul flame realm for a long time, it wasn’t something that Black Skeleton that had just entered this realm could compare to.

But even so, it was still smashed to death by Lin Jiufeng’s bronze tablet.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, you actually smashed a peak golden soul flame skeleton to death?” White Skeleton’s shocked soul flame constantly jumped.

“If it’s me, I’m not confident that I can defeat him. Making sure that I won’t be killed is already my limit,” Black Skeleton said.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, how powerful are you exactly?” White Skeleton asked its doubts.

“I… The Ancestral Immortal Realm is equivalent to your purple soul flames,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“Then how did you kill it so easily?” Black Skeleton reached out and pointed.

“Because of this.” Lin Jiufeng patted the bronze tablet, not thinking that it was because of his own ability.

He was originally already dead and was lucky enough to be resurrected in the Death Realm. A wisp of his remnant soul took a few days to recover its full strength. Now, it had only advanced another step on its original foundation.

In the Ancestral Immortal Realm, there were three mountains. They were the Blue Sky, Yellow Sky, and Heavenly Sky.

Lin Jiufeng was now standing at the peak of the Blue Sky and moving towards Yellow Sky.

Although he could fight against a skeleton with a golden soul flame, it was limited to a skeleton that had just entered the golden soul flame realm like Black Skeleton.

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t handle this evil white skeleton if he just depended on his own strength.

Hence, just now, it was really the bronze tablet displaying its might.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton stared at the bronze tablet.

It was still the bronze tablet that was filled with the traces of time. There were no other changes, even though it had just killed a skeleton at the peak of the golden soul flame.

It wasn’t damaged at all.

“When I smashed down just now, it was caught off guard. This skeleton didn’t manage to dodge the attack, but its own energy can still be used to block the attack, especially its golden soul flame energy,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“But I saw something unexpected.”

“A layer of energy appeared on the bronze tablet. It actually absorbed the soul flame of this white skeleton, leaving only the skeleton’s body behind.”

“Then, it was smashed to death.”

“Therefore, this evil skeleton couldn’t be said to have been killed by me. It’s more accurate to say that it has been killed by the bronze tablet.”

Lin Jiufeng shared what he saw, causing Black Skeleton and White Skeleton to look at each other.

They believed Lin Jiufeng’s words.

Then, Black Skeleton said sincerely to White Skeleton, “I think you can give it a try. Release your soul flame and see if this bronze tablet will absorb it.”

White Skeleton was so angry that it immediately wanted to fight Black Skeleton to the death.

Wasn’t this bullying an honest person by asking it to try something so dangerous?

“You have to keep this bronze tablet well. It’s a treasure,” Lin Jiufeng said to Black Skeleton.

“I will. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I’ll definitely bring it along,” Black Skeleton said excitedly.

“Be careful, don’t let your soul be sucked away,” White Skeleton said.

Black Skeleton was in a very good mood, so it didn’t bicker with White Skeleton. It lifted the bronze tablet and looked at the shattered skeleton on the ground. It clicked its tongue and said, “You’re also unlucky to have encountered the bronze tablet. Otherwise, you would have absorbed us all by now.”

Lin Jiufeng didn’t care about this. He looked around.

Shuash!

Suddenly, he saw a skull rolling out from under a rock in the distance.

This skull was actually the color of crystal, broadening Lin Jiufeng’s horizons.

He couldn’t help but walk over, wanting to take a closer look.

But after he approached, his footsteps stopped.

He heard a weak voice.

“Kind people, save me.”

Lin Jiufeng stared at the crystal skull and asked, “Are you the one asking for help?”

Hearing Lin Jiufeng’s words, Black Skeleton and White Skeleton stopped bickering and looked at Lin Jiufeng together.

“What happened?” They asked in unison.

Lin Jiufeng pointed with his finger and said, “This crystal skull sent out a cry for help!”

“Seeking help? That’s impossible, right?” White Skeleton walked over to take a look, puzzled.

“This is a crystal skeleton that’s even a realm higher than the five-colored skeleton,” White Skeleton said in shock.

“What? Crystal skeleton? Where is it?” Black Skeleton immediately walked over with the bronze tablet and saw the crystal skull.

“This… It’s really a crystal skeleton,” Black Skeleton said in surprise.

“But where’s its body?” Black Skeleton asked curiously.

“A crystal skeleton that’s one level higher than the five-colored skeleton? Does this mean that it’s stronger than an Immortal King?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“It’s like this. The five-colored skeleton is equivalent to the Immortal King Realm of the mortal realm. But within this realm, there are also different levels. To outsiders, these levels are all of the Immortal King Realm. The five-colored skeleton is the first level, and the crystal skeleton is one level higher than the five-colored skeleton. But in essence, they are all at the Immortal King Realm.” White Skeleton explained to Lin Jiufeng.

“I understand now.” Lin Jiufeng squatted down and looked at the crystal skull.

“You asked for help just now. Are you still alive?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

White Skeleton and Black Skeleton stared fixedly at it. This was a rare item. Five-colored skeletons were rare, and crystal skeletons were even more so, only existing in the legends.

“Save… me!” The crystal skull once again let out a weak cry for help.

Lin Jiufeng turned his head and looked at the two skeletons. He asked, “Did you guys hear that?”

“Yes.” Black Skeleton nodded.

“I heard it too.” White Skeleton nodded.

Lin Jiufeng glared at them. “Since you guys heard it, then tell me how to save it.”

Lin Jiufeng knew how to save humans, but he didn’t know how to save a skeleton.

Moreover, it was a crystal skeleton.

“It should only have a wisp of weak consciousness left, like an oil lamp that has run out of oil. Therefore, we need to ensure that it won’t go out and then add more oil to it,” White Skeleton said.

“We need to give it energy now,” Black Skeleton said.

“How?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

He injected his energy into the crystal skull, but it wasn’t very useful. His energy seemed to be rebounding from the crystal skull.

He looked at the two skeletons.

“What are you trying to do? Don’t look at me with such a gaze.” Black Skeleton retreated cautiously.

“This kind of injecting our soul flame to others is very dangerous. What if it takes the opportunity to devour us?” White Skeleton also retreated.

Because Lin Jiufeng’s gaze was really unfriendly.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, “I’m here. If it dares to devour you guys, the bronze tablet will directly smash it to death.”

The two skeletons were still unwilling.

This method wasn’t safe.

The bronze tablet could crush a golden soul flame skeleton to death, but could it crush this crystal skull?

The gap between the two was huge.

The two skeletons simultaneously took a step back.

“Don’t you guys want to know why the crystal skeleton became so tragic?” Lin Jiufeng wasn’t anxious and asked sincerely.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton looked at each other. They were tempted.

“If the crystal skeleton is saved, it will give you guys a lot of benefits. It will give you guys some pointers and the path to breaking through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm will be much easier.” Lin Jiufeng continued to tempt them.

The two skeletons couldn’t help but hesitate.

It sounded quite good.

“Hurry up and save it. We can still learn a lot of the secrets of the Death Realm through its mouth. After all, the crystal skeleton knows more than us.” Lin Jiufeng urged them.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were really tempted this time.

They sighed.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, take the bronze tablet. You must be attentive. If there’s any danger, immediately smash this crystal skull to death,” Black Skeleton said solemnly.

“Alright, don’t worry.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.

White Skeleton walked over and placed the crystal skull in the middle. It sat on one side and waited for Black Skeleton.

Black Skeleton sat on the other side. Its soul flame flickered, and a resplendent light actually scattered down and surged into the crystal skull.

White Skeleton did the same, but it scattered purple light mixed with traces of golden light instead.

After the crystal skull absorbed these energies, the weak flame seed inside slowly recovered.

Lin Jiufeng leaned against the bronze tablet and watched silently.

If anything bad happened, he would use the bronze tablet as a brick and directly smash it over.

But so far, everything was normal.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were working hard to transfer their soul energy into the crystal skull.

The crystal skull was also changing. Although the change was very weak, Lin Jiufeng sensed it.

Inside the crystal skull, a weak energy was fluctuating.

It had yet to recover, but it was alive now.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were still persevering.

In a flash, a day passed.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton continued to transfer the energy in their soul flames to the crystal skull.

On a closer look, one would discover that the energy of their soul flames had declined by more than half. They were no longer as powerful as before, and they were even in a weakened condition now.

Lin Jiufeng was watching the whole time. If it weren’t for Black Skeleton and White Skeleton indicating that they were fine, he would have suspected that the crystal skull had sucked them dry.

“Alright, it’s enough. If you guys continue to deliver energy to it, you guys will also suffer damage,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly. He had observed that the two skeletons had already reached their limits. If they continued to deliver their energy to the crystal skull, their foundation would be damaged.

The two skeletons also listened obediently and stopped the transmission.

“I feel like I’ve been sucked dry,” Black Skeleton said weakly.

“I feel quite good instead. I transmitted all the impurities in my soul flame away. Then, I actually took a step forward and broke through the golden soul flame level,” White Skeleton said weakly and was very happy.

It was in the same realm as Black Skeleton.

“Thank you all for saving my life.” At this moment, the crystal skull that had been quiet all this time released a soul fluctuation.

The voice was very ancient as if it had experienced the passage of time and was washed away by the era. As soon as it opened its mouth, a sense of boundless years pounced on Lin Jiufeng and the two skeletons. It was simply unforgettable.

“You’re alive now?” Black Skeleton immediately picked it up and looked at the crystal skull that he had saved.

Inside the crystal skull, a weak wisp of fire was burning.

After the two skeletons gathered all their energies and infused them into the crystal skull for a whole day, it finally condensed this weak wisp of flame.

This proved how difficult it was.

“What’s your name? Why have you become like this? Are you really a crystal skeleton?” White Skeleton asked with a stomach full of questions.

“I forgot!” The crystal skull only said one sentence.

Lin Jiufeng frowned. “You forgot?”

“Yes, I’m old, my memory isn’t good. Moreover, my soul flame is severely lacking. I’ve forgotten many things,” the crystal skull added.

“Then it’s over. We saved a skull that doesn’t know anything.” Black Skeleton directly threw the crystal skull down. It was too lazy to pay attention to it. It leaned on the bronze tablet to recover its soul energy.

“Don’t leave me behind. Although I don’t remember anything else, I still know about this Divine Mountain of Reincarnation,” the crystal skull shouted.

White Skeleton immediately picked up the crystal skull and asked curiously, “What do you know about the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation?”

“Why have you guys come to the Divine of Reincarnation Mountain?” The crystal skull asked first.

“We want to pass through the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, cross the Yin River, and enter the depths of the Death Realm,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“You guys want to enter the depths of the Death Realm?” The crystal skull’s tone was very suspicious of Lin Jiufeng.

“With your strength and wanting to go to the depths of the Death Realm, what’s the difference between this and seeking death?” The crystal skull asked sincerely.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t remember?” Lin Jiufeng questioned it.

“Let’s talk about the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation. Since you guys want to pass through it, you have to know what kind of existence the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation is. Do you guys know?” The crystal skull quickly changed the subject and threw out a question.

Lin Jiufeng really wanted to ask if the crystal skull had really lost its memory.

But the question it raised attracted Lin Jiufeng.

This changed Lin Jiufeng’s evaluation of the crystal skull.

This was a crystal skull that was very good at pretending to be crazy and foolish.

“We don’t know what kind of existence the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation is. If you know, then tell us. If you don’t, then we shall part ways,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

“Yes, we shall part ways. I thought that you knew a lot and worked so hard to save you, but in the end, you didn’t know anything.” All of Black Skeleton’s plans were shattered. It was very disappointed and ignored the crystal skull.

“I can tell you guys, but you guys have to bring me with you to the depths of the Death Realm.” The crystal skull made a request.

“Didn’t you say that we are seeking death by entering the depths of the Death Realm?” Black Skeleton didn’t want to bring the crystal skull along.

“Then there has to be someone to collect your corpses for you. I’m suitable for this role. You guys saved me, I’ll collect your corpses for you guys,” the crystal skull said.

“Ha, look at this bad temper of mine. Do you believe that I will collect your corpse first?” Black Skeleton flew into a rage.

Lin Jiufeng stopped it and said calmly, “If you tell us what exactly is going on with the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation, we will bring you into the depths of the Death Realm.”

Lin Jiufeng had been observing just now and discovered that this crystal skull was a cunning character. It definitely hadn’t lost its memory. Or rather, even if it had lost its memory, it only lost a small portion of it.

It definitely wasn’t as serious as it said.

But it was really in a terrible state now. It didn’t have any strength at all. All that was left was a wisp of soul flame that barely survived.

Even so, it still wanted to follow Lin Jiufeng into the depths of the Death Realm. This meant that there was something deep in the Death Realm that was very important to it.

Lin Jiufeng felt that if he continued to ask questions along the way, he would definitely be able to find out something.

However, the most important thing now was to figure out the matters regarding the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation.

Only after leaving the Divine Mountain of Reincarnation would they have a chance to enter the depths of the Death Realm.
