Such a skeleton can rival a high-grade magic weapon, and may even be superior to a high-grade magic weapon in many aspects. If it falls into the hands of a weapon refiner, it may be able to be refined into a high-grade treasure.
However, Li Ze had no intention of taking it in.
His intuition told him that the skeleton was dangerous.
Li Ze silently retreated, and after retreating a hundred meters away, he saw the brilliance on the skeleton disappear, turning it into a simple and unadorned appearance.
Seeing this scene, Li Ze's heart tightened. Having learned his lesson from the ancient ruins last time, he was afraid that this battlefield of gods and demons was even more complicated.
Next, Li Ze stayed by Mo Xingjue's side without leaving for a moment, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding dangers while absorbing the demonic and malevolent energy here.
When he sensed someone approaching, Li Ze didn't hesitate and covered Mo Xingjue's body with his baleful aura, and then covered the baleful aura with a thin layer of demonic aura.
The reason was simple: he sensed the demonic aura emanating from the newcomer.
They are demons!
And they're powerful demons!
Li Ze's sword appeared silently in his right hand, while his left hand grabbed Mo Xingjue's arm, ready to escape at any moment.
His breathing was very light, almost imperceptible.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the approaching people, and when he saw two somewhat familiar figures flying towards him one after the other, his scalp tingled.
Why are these two demon kings the ones who have arrived?!
"Such a strong killing intent, this aura seems somewhat familiar." Ji Shuo paused in front of Li Ze and Mo Xingjue, lost in thought.
Ji Chuan curiously examined them, "Peak Nascent Soul stage, why have I never seen them before?"
There weren't many Nascent Soul cultivators in the Demon Realm, and while he wouldn't say he could name every single one, he had seen most of them. These two before him were so strikingly beautiful; they shouldn't be unknown figures. Why had he never heard of them before?
"Replying to the two seniors, we only recently had an opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage," Li Ze said with his eyes lowered, looking respectful and obedient. Fearing that Ji Chuan and Ji Shuo would not believe him, he added, "If seniors do not believe me, they can check my bone age. I am exactly twenty years old this year."
Li Ze stretched his hand out right in front of Ji Chuan. Looking at Li Ze's youthful face, Ji Chuan already believed Li Ze's words to some extent. However, out of caution, he still placed one finger on Li Ze's palm.
The next moment, a domineering demonic energy rushed into Li Ze's body, causing Li Ze to tremble all over in pain.
It felt like a moment, yet also like centuries had passed. When Ji Chuan withdrew his finger, Li Ze collapsed to the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat.
"Tsk, quite tolerant." Ji Chuan said with a half-smile.
"What was the result?" Ji Shuo asked.
"It's twenty years old, that's right." Ji Chuan sighed. "How old were we when we advanced to the Nascent Soul stage? Forty? Or fifty?"
"Nearly fifty." Ji Shuo looked at Li Ze and Mo Xingjue with admiration in his eyes. "They're going to be extraordinary in the future."
"Tch! Hard to say, they might lose their lives today," Ji Chuan said dismissively.
Ji Shuo, considering the danger here, agreed with Ji Chuan's words. He was moved by the thought of appreciating talent and advised, "This place is too dangerous. Why don't you go out first, and come back in after we've eliminated the major hidden dangers?"
However, with the major hidden dangers eliminated, those great opportunities will no longer be available to them.
Ji Shuo wasn't sure if these two juniors would listen, but these were some of the few heartfelt words he had ever spoken.
Li Ze pursed his lips, his breathtakingly beautiful face displaying a stubborn expression.
Seeing this, Ji Shuo understood perfectly. He shook his head helplessly. Even as a demon king, he would not cut off others' path to finding opportunities.
Ji Shuo and Ji Chuan exchanged a glance and were about to leave when the skeleton under the boulder emitted a faint glow once more.
Before Li Ze could say anything, Ji Shuo and Ji Chuan moved. In a flash, they appeared under the boulder, each grabbing a part of the skeleton.
"The remains of a Mahayana cultivator!" Ji Chuan exclaimed, his eyes filled with fervor.
Ji Shuo was also filled with surprise and delight, "The Great Ascension Stage! Isn't that the same as a demon god!"
Li Ze was also secretly surprised. He thought that the skeleton must have been a Nascent Soul cultivator or at most a Nascent Soul cultivator in life, but he did not expect it to be a Mahayana cultivator.
A Mahayana cultivator died here, and no one even collected his remains?
What happened here back then?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Even Ji Shuo and Ji Chuan, who were at the Nascent Soul stage, were tempted by the skeleton of a Mahayana stage cultivator.
"This isn't the time for infighting. How about we split it in half?" Ji Chuan suggested first.
Ji Shuo frowned slightly, then relaxed and replied, "Okay."
The next moment, a sudden change occurred. Two streams of black gas suddenly emerged from the pure white and translucent skeleton, and the black mist rushed towards Ji Shuo and Ji Chuan's foreheads.
Ji Chuan and Ji Shuo reacted extremely quickly, dodging the black mist's attack and engaging it in a fierce battle.
Seeing the black mist continuously emerging from the skeletons, Li Ze made a decisive move, picked up Mo Xingjue, and fled into the distance with him.
Li Ze flew close to the ground on his sword, and a quarter of an hour later, a green expanse appeared in his field of vision. From a lifeless, gray-white landscape, he suddenly found himself in a dense jungle, without any transition, as if two completely different continents had been forcibly joined together.
Could there be level eight or nine monsters here?
Li Ze held his breath and remained at the edge of the jungle, not daring to go any further.
"Such dense spiritual energy!" Li Ze exclaimed in astonishment; the spiritual energy here was so dense it was practically liquefied.
Seemingly affected by the rich spiritual energy, Mo Xingjue also opened his eyes. "Where is this?"
