Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 633: Chapter 630: Eruption of Corpses

”Actually, from the perspective of the Sect competition, the Sage’s Skull is undoubtedly the most important, yet if viewed from a personal standpoint, the Relics of the Divine Spirit are naturally of the greatest importance.”

Ye Longchen explained, ”However, even with the Map Bone, one is not guaranteed to obtain the Sage’s Skull or the Relics of the Divine Spirit. Those Divine Spirits had extremely strong protection, and even in death, it was difficult for others to access them. Still, there have always been many capable individuals who managed to acquire the Sage’s Skull and even took away the relics left by the Divine Spirits through various means.”

”The primary function of the Map Bone, apart from guiding the path, is to open the Sage’s Protection.”

”As long as one obtains the Map Bone, there’s a ninety percent chance of acquiring the Sage’s Skull. As for the Relics of the Divine Spirit, that depends on luck and fate.”

Su Han nodded occasionally, and after Ye Longchen had finished explaining, he suddenly asked, ”What use is the Sage’s Skull?”

”What use?”

Ye Longchen was startled, ”It’s no use at all, it only serves to establish a Sect’s ranking in the first stage of the Sect competition.”

”Then, in the past Sect competitions, weren’t the Sage’s Skulls obtained always handed over to the Super Sects?” Su Han asked again.

”Yes.”

Ye Longchen nodded, ”But the Super Sects have said that they would destroy them uniformly.”

”Destroy them?”

Su Han sneered inwardly. His Heavenly Eye had revealed that the special skeleton could enhance the strength of himself and others here, so he was seventy to eighty percent sure there must be a special purpose for the Sage’s Skull as well!

”One will know only after trying,” Su Han thought to himself.

”Oh, right.”

Ye Longchen continued, ”Brother Su, I must remind you of something. When you get the Sage’s Skull, it will trigger the appearance of the Phantom of the Sage. This Phantom of the Sage doesn’t have much attack power, but it’s earth-shattering and can be seen by many Grand Powers. They will definitely come to snatch it following the location of the Phantom, so you must prepare yourself.”

”Thank you.”

Su Han nodded and bowed, then asked, ”Your brother, didn’t he come to participate in this Sect competition?”

”Of course, he did!”

Upon mentioning his brother, Ye Longchen seemed extremely proud and immediately said with a smile, ”Not to conceal from Brother Su, when the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain was opened without authorization, my Ye Family had no knowledge of it. It was my brother who informed me and had me steal the key. After the family learned of it, they didn’t punish me much, but my brother... he suffered quite a bit.”

His words were simple, merely stating that his brother ’suffered quite a bit,’ but Su Han could imagine how the Ye Family would punish Ye Longhe.

If it had only been the opening of the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, it might not have been a big deal, but following the opening of the mountain, the Extraterritorial Demon descended, bringing calamity to the Dragon Martial Continent.

Su Han didn’t know if there was any connection, but if there was... the punishment Ye Longhe endured would certainly not be light.

”This time it’s because of the three-thousand-year Sect competition. If missed, there might not be another chance in one’s lifetime, so the family allowed my brother to come out. However, after the competition ends and we return... I fear my elder brother will still be locked up.” As Ye Longchen mentioned this, sorrow appeared in his eyes.

”It’s my Phoenix Sect that has brought trouble to your family,” Su Han said.

”No, no, no! Please don’t say that,”

Ye Longchen hurriedly said, ”I’ve said too much, Brother Su. I didn’t mean anything by it! My elder brother once said, ’For a drop of kindness, one should return a spring of gratitude,’ let alone saving a life. We’re willing to endure this punishment. After all, our father cannot kill us, and sooner or later, we’ll be great men again!”

Hearing this, Su Han couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh.

”What are your plans next, Brother Su?” Ye Longchen asked.

Su Han said, ”Naturally, I plan to look for the Sage’s Skull. The other map bone that belonged to Wang Mu has already been obtained by me, so you can take this one.”

”You obtained it?”

Ye Longchen was immediately overjoyed, ”Hahaha, that’s simply fantastic, then I’ll accept it without any reservations!”

”Who would have thought, just two days after entering here, I’ve obtained a map bone. If we can find its original remains, not to mention whether we can get relics of the Divine Spirit, it would be great just to get the Sage’s Skull.”

”We only have a month’s time in here, and it’s taken two days to get a single map bone. Do you think that’s fast?” Su Han asked, puzzled.

”Brother Ye doesn’t know.”

Ye Longchen explained, ”Although each opening of this ancient battlefield lasts only a month, there will definitely be a major eruption of corpses at some point towards the end. The specific location and time of this eruption are not fixed and vary every time. However, before this major eruption, there will be three days of minor eruptions. If we follow the sites of these minor eruptions, we can find the location of the major eruption. Therefore, all the powers here have sufficient time to make their way there.”

”And the main way to obtain the Sage’s Skull is during that major eruption!”

”Every major eruption will see countless corpses of divine spirits emerging, some are avatars, some are the original forms, and sometimes, relics of the divine spirits are even erupted!”

”Generally speaking, in the early stages of entering the ancient battlefield, the grand powers are in constant battle with each other, depleting their forces. Their main goal is still that final major eruption.”

Ye Longchen said, ”It is said that during one opening of the ancient battlefield, the One Slash Palace obtained several relics of the Divine Spirit during that major eruption, and even got no less than a hundred Sage’s Skulls!”

”So that’s how it is...”

Su Han suddenly realized. If Ye Longchen hadn’t cleared up his confusion, he really wouldn’t have known these things.

”Brother Su, time is of the essence, and we should not waste any more here.”

Ye Longchen apologized, ”I need to use this map bone to search for the Sage’s Skull. When the time of the great eruption comes, let’s meet again!”

”Wait a moment.”

Su Han, deep in thought, suddenly flipped his hand and brought out a bone, transmitting his voice, ”If you see this kind of bone, take it. This is the fundamental reason for us increasing our strength in this place.”

”This kind of bone?”

Ye Longchen frowned, ”It doesn’t look very special.”

Su Han smiled, ”This kind of bone is connected to our own strength. The more we have, the more our strength will increase. The more people we have, our strength will increase just as much. However, the range is only ten thousand zhang. If we go beyond ten thousand zhang, the bones will no longer be effective, and our strength will return to its original level.”

”Really?” Ye Longchen was somewhat incredulous.

After entering this place, he naturally felt an invisible increase in strength but couldn’t find the reason why.

”Trust me, you won’t go wrong.”

Su Han said, ”You once took action and saved the God-Slaying Pavilion. This favor is incalculable. This is an opportunity. If you make good use of it, the Ye Family could at least enter the top three of the first level.”
