Chapter 804 - 734: Skeleton Mountain Will Disappear

Chapter 804: Chapter 734: Skeleton Mountain Will Disappear

That was right; the nightmare was finally over. Now, not only were there no more dangers in these War Relics, but they had also become Tu Xiao’an’s private property.

Was it over? Was it really all over? Luo Ziyun lowered her head slightly. Gazing at Tu Xiao’an’s extraordinarily handsome face, she suddenly felt an unparalleled sense of security.

This sense of security felt alien to her; a woman like her had never experienced such safety from someone else before. Only at this very moment did she truly feel like a woman—one who finally had someone to rely on and a place to belong.

Luo Ziyun smiled—a smile beautiful enough to topple cities—and silently murmured in her heart, "Xiao’an, I have lived for far too long. I have seen the spring sun and summer winds, the autumn leaves and winter snows. I have traversed the southern waters and northern mountains, the eastern foothills and western ridges. Yet, all the seasons of Spring and Autumn, all the vast mountains and endless waters, pale in comparison to you walking toward me right now, flashing a brilliant smile, and pulling me into your embrace."

.......

City X was continuously racked by a Level 18 earthquake radiating from Skeleton Mountain. Streets crumbled and skyscrapers collapsed one after another, leaving the abandoned yet highly modernized city teetering on the brink of total destruction.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Skeleton Mountain, which pierced through the center of the city like a giant sword, finally returned to peace. There were no more eerie screeches from batches of Skeleton Beasts charging down the mountain with axes in hand, nor were there massive boulders rolling down to crush everything in their path. The dense fog that once shrouded the peak had vanished, allowing the towering mountain to reveal its true, majestic form to the world for the very first time.

A mountain needs not be high; the presence of an Immortal gives it fame. Waters need not be deep; the presence of a Dragon gives them spirit. This Skeleton Mountain, which represented the Ancient War Ruins, had previously roared like a slumbering giant Dragon being awakened, but now, the Dragon seemed to have fallen back into a deep sleep.

Many Martial Cultivators from all over the country had gathered a few kilometers away from Skeleton Mountain, looking up at it in hesitation. Was it still possible to enter this mountain? Or rather, did anyone still have the courage to venture inside? Setting aside the various powerful monsters lurking within, the mere speculation that the War Relics inside had already opened was enough to strike fear into the hearts of many. Anyone who wanted to enter now had to first weigh their own strength. Those below the War God realm didn’t even have the qualifications to serve as cannon fodder.

"My God, we’d better leave City X. This mountain is a no-go zone. Just looking at it from the outside is terrifying enough," someone exclaimed in fear. If the War Relics had truly opened, the mountain was no longer an ideal place for exploration and fortune, but a Hell of certain death.

"Look, everyone! The inn at the foot of the mountain is actually still ’alive’!"

Many Martial Cultivators looked toward Skeleton Mountain with disbelief, staring at the inn at its base as if they had seen a ghost. Ever since the full moon a few nights ago, Skeleton Mountain had been quaking. Countless Skeleton Beasts had swarmed down the mountain with murderous intent, their numbers so vast that ’tens of thousands’ couldn’t even begin to describe them. It was a dense, overwhelming beast tide. Even a War God would have been reduced to ash in an instant. Furthermore, it wasn’t just Skeleton Beasts; there were many other monsters and falling boulders trailing behind them.

The inn stood right at the entrance of Skeleton Mountain. For it to survive intact amidst such a catastrophic storm was simply unbelievable. What kind of formidable martial prowess could achieve such a feat?

"There’s incredibly strong Demon Qi coming from that inn!" an expert noted, his eyes wide with suspicion.

"You don’t know, do you? This inn is protected by a Great Demon King, along with many powerful Snake Demons. Just look at the entrance over these past few days—the piles of corpses and bones could form a mountain of their own," another replied.

The first man looked puzzled. "Didn’t they say this inn was opened by a top expert on our official Heaven Rankings? Why is there a Great Demon King here? Could it be that the official expert has some connection with the Yaoling Mountain Range?"

"Who knows? Why don’t you go over and ask?"

The man gave an awkward smile. Was he joking? That would be pure suicide.

"Hahaha... With me, the Strong Bull Demon King, here, the inn remains completely unscathed!"

At this moment, in front of the inn, a Bull Demon King with seething Demon Qi and horns on his head suddenly expanded in size, instantly transforming into a monster dozens of meters tall and roaring up at the sky.

"Look, it’s that Great Demon King! My God, what powerful Demon Qi! This must be at the Deep Mountain Demon King Level!"

The human Martial Cultivators in the distance were utterly astounded. For a mere inn to be protected by a Deep Mountain Demon King was simply far too extravagant.

"Niu Security Guard, what are you doing? You’re being too high-profile!" Feng Xi quickly called out to stop him.

The Bull Demon King burst into laughter, flaunting his terrifying Demon King aura in front of the world. "The master isn’t here, so can’t Old Bull show off a little?"

He had worked himself to the bone over the past few days. Now that Skeleton Mountain had finally quieted down, the Bull Demon King would have liked to keep a low profile, but his strength simply wouldn’t allow it. He wanted the world to witness the majesty of the Strong Bull Demon King. Times were different now; Demons no longer needed to hide in human territories. Moreover, with his current strength, who would dare provoke him? Being looked up to by countless human experts felt absolutely fantastic.

"Look everyone, someone is flying down from Skeleton Mountain!"

The Martial Cultivators were initially stunned by the Great Demon King’s imposing presence, but it wasn’t long before all their eyes shifted to Skeleton Mountain. Because the majestic peak was no longer shrouded in thick fog, they could clearly see two figures slowly flying down the towering mountain as if walking on flat ground. It was a man and a woman, holding hands in a display that filled everyone with envy, looking just like an Immortal couple.

"It’s the King! It’s Auntie Boss!" Feng Xi recognized the descending figures immediately and shrieked in pleasant surprise.

The sight of the two figures struck like a sudden Thunder Shock. My God! To have someone coming down from Skeleton Mountain at a time like this... they must be peerless experts!

Everyone knew that Skeleton Mountain had rioted, the War Relics had opened, and the interior was extremely dangerous. Yet, not long after the mountain regained its calm, someone was actually flying down. Coupling this with the disappearance of the mountain’s thick fog, many experts stared in horror and speculated: Could it be that these two peerless experts had resolved the War Relics?

That couldn’t be realistic, could it? If the War Relics were resolved, Skeleton Mountain should have disappeared too.

Phones! Get the phones! Regardless of the truth, recording the majestic demeanor of these two peerless experts first was definitely the right move.

A moment later.

"Master, Old Bull did not fail his mission!" Upon seeing his master return, the previously gigantic Strong Bull Demon King hurriedly shrank back down, no longer daring to show off. Instead, he eagerly put on a posture of asking for a reward.

Tu Xiao’an and Luo Ziyun slowly landed on the roof of the inn, exchanging a knowing smile.

"Xiaoyang."

SWISH!

A demonic man appeared out of thin air; it was the Artifact Spirit of the relics.

"We can begin," Tu Xiao’an said, casting an extremely cold glance at the Artifact Spirit. Now was the moment to witness a miracle.

"Yes, Master."

Facing the towering Skeleton Mountain, the Artifact Spirit focused his thoughts and closed his eyes. His hands formed a hand seal, and his face turned blood-red. Suddenly, the air felt as if it were boiling, and the monsters within Skeleton Mountain instantly became restless. Muttering incantations under his breath, he abruptly opened his eyes and flew into the air.

All of a sudden, Skeleton Mountain began to quake even more violently. Then, with a loud BOOM, the ground within a radius of dozens of miles was torn open, leaving the mountain tottering.

What was going on? Was Skeleton Mountain rioting again?

The Martial Cultivators in City X couldn’t even stand steadily. Rank 3 experts flew up into the air one by one, while those who hadn’t reached that Realm were left covered in dirt and looking thoroughly disgraced.
