As the Universe Turns - Chapter 615
Chapter 615 Withered Bone
Three days passed. During these three days, Xiao Chen sat quietly in the stone room. He did not move a single bit and ignored the noise made by Shen Quezi outside.
This afternoon, he finally opened his eyes. At this moment, Shen Quezi’s voice came from outside, “Kid, I don’t believe you can hide inside for the rest of your life. When this old man dismantles this Demon Palace, I’ll see if you want to come out or dive underground!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rumble. The entire stone room trembled violently. It was obvious that Shen Quezi was attacking the Demon Palace again. This was not the first time in three days.
Xiao Chen still ignored him. This time, Xuan Jizi failed to seize his good fortune. Instead, he seized his good fortune, bringing him a step closer to becoming a true Soul Formation cultivator. Soul Formation was inevitable, but there was still a lack of time.
“Humph! Brat, don’t think this old man doesn’t know that you’re still inside! You want to turn into a god? If you can’t turn into a god, then you should be prepared to die here!”
Once again, Shen Quezi’s voice came from outside. Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. This statement was absolutely true. Shen Quezi already had the cultivation of the Cave Ruins Realm, let alone absorbing Xuan Jizi’s blood soul three days ago.
If he succeeded in his Soul Transformation, he could still borrow Di Gu’s strength to deal with this person. However, before he could, he definitely could not be a match for someone who was already close to the Ruined Heaven Realm. Although the difference between the Ruined Heaven Realm and the Cave Ruined Realm was only a hundred years, it was as if he was completely different.
Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and slowly went outside. He discovered that Shen Quezi was still attacking the Demon Palace. However, looking at the other party’s current appearance, it seemed that he wanted to find out the weakness of the Demon Palace so that he could destroy it or remove the restrictions in the palace.
The Demon Palace had been unattended for a long time. If he continued to attack like this, it might really collapse. At that time, he would be in danger. Xiao Chen naturally understood this principle and probed elsewhere. He discovered that there seemed to be only this tunnel and this stone room in the Demon Palace. There was no other way to go.
“Little brat, if you don’t come out, I will capture you when I break this palace. I will definitely teach you that life is worse than death!”
Shen Quezi’s furious voice came from outside again. Xiao Chen thought to himself, I would like to go out, but there are layers of restrictions blocking my way out. When I get out, wouldn’t I be half dead?
Thinking of this, he walked back to the stone room. For the sake of this plan, he could only successfully transform into a spirit before Shen Quezi broke through the Demon Palace. Otherwise, once the people from Tai Shi Dao Sect entered, they would work together to break through the Demon Palace. At that time, he would truly have no way to escape.
Just like that, another three days passed. After Xiao Chen finished breathing, the outside suddenly trembled violently. The entire stone room also trembled, and the dust on the roof continued to fall.
Xiao Chen’s expression froze, and he immediately extended his divine sense out. Only then did he realize that the people outside Tai Shi Dao Sect had already entered. They had set up formations outside the hall, as if they were about to break through the restrictions of the Demon Palace.
“Shit …”
Xiao Chen immediately thought to himself that something was wrong. He withdrew his divine sense. Today, his Soul Transformation had yet to succeed. If he waited for those people to break through the restriction and break in, with so many people, plus Shen Quezi, he would undoubtedly die. What should he do now?
“Rumble!”
The commotion outside became more and more intense. However, the more it was like this, the more Xiao Chen needed to calm down. Right now, there was not enough time. At most, three days would be enough. With the combined efforts of those people, he would definitely be able to break through the restrictions of this Demon Palace. However, three days was far from enough for him to transform into a spirit.
“What should we do?”
Xiao Chen looked around and confirmed that there was no other way to go about the Demon Palace. At this moment, he noticed the dead bone in the southeast corner again. The dead bone was covered in dust and spider webs. It was obvious that he had died a long time ago.
However, after such a long time, this skeleton was still intact. Thinking about it, this person must have been a top-notch expert before he died, at least not below the Shen Quezi outside.
Xiao Chen slowly walked towards the skeleton. After looking at it for a long time, he did not see why. He thought to himself that such a peerless expert would also be trapped here in the end. Could it be that the heavens are truly going to kill me this time?
The commotion outside grew more and more intense, and the entire Demon Palace shook from time to time. Xiao Chen thought hard about how to escape, but inadvertently, he saw that the wall on which the bones were leaning was faintly carved with words.
How could words be engraved on this corner?
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed. He was sure that the words were correct. With a brush of his hand, the dust on the wall disappeared. The words on the wall immediately appeared clearly in front of him.
“Yu Fei is trapped here because Yu Zhi’s wish has not been fulfilled. The Demon Scripture clues have been broken from here. Yu Xin is unwilling …”
The words below were blocked by the bones. Xiao Chen looked at the bones with a flash of doubt on his face. Could it be that the words on the wall were left behind by the bones in front of him?
“Don’t blame me …”
After whispering, Xiao Chen carefully moved the bone away. He attacked very gently, afraid that the bone would be torn apart.
He pushed open the spider web in the corner and saw the words on it continuing, “I swear that once I have not comprehended the clues of the Devil Scripture, I will never leave. In the northwest is the secret passage I have opened here. If juniors are trapped here, they can leave on their own and not move the remaining bones.”
After reading all the words, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. The words on it should have been left thousands of years ago. The words from back then were not much different from the words he had left now. Could it be that the one who left the words in front of him was really this skeleton in front of him?
“Northwest …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen didn’t have the mood to care about anything else. He looked around. The dead bone was located in the southeast corner, and the northwest corner was opposite.
Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate and quickly walked over. After removing the water urn, he saw cracks in the corner. He gently pushed the wall and the wall caved in. It was actually a pitch-black secret passage.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed. He recalled the words on the wall just now. It said that he was not trapped here before he died, but because of the Devil Scripture. However, the clues to the Devil Scripture were interrupted here. He thought hard and could not think of any clues to the Devil Scripture. He swore that he would never leave until he understood the clues to the Devil Scripture …
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. He turned around and looked at the dead bone, wondering what exactly the Devil Scripture was. To have such a mysterious power that this senior would rather sit here and die than leave, this was simply too unimaginable.
There are really many strange things in this world. If this senior in front of him were to leave, he would definitely be a top-notch expert. However, he would rather die here than leave. It was truly inexplicable for him to not let others bring his skeletal body away from this place.
“However, it was you who helped Xiao escape today. However, Xiao doesn’t know what that devil scripture is. If you have the fortune to find it, if you have the chance, then bring it to worship you. It makes you wish for it.”
Xiao Chen bowed to the skeleton. Without hesitation, he immediately bent down and entered the secret passageway.
