Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Skeleton Behemoth! Half an incense stick later. The six who originally planned to capture Ye Qiu all became Ye Qiu’s prisoners. After tying them up, he placed them all into his Sumeru Bag. “I’ve wasted quite a bit of time here. Those guys should have entered the Death Formation a while ago,” Ye Qiu pondered. He followed the six Angels, then confronted Armand and the Angels, and finally, gave up on fighting the Angels. Now, after tying up six malicious individuals, he had spent a considerable amount of time. No more delays, Ye Qiu did not linger and immediately entered the Death Formation. As Ye Qiu transitioned from the Mist Array to the Death Formation, he found that many Sealers had already reached this place, troubled by the skeletons. Skeletons everywhere, each step a crisis; weaklings cannot survive long in the Death Formation. Ye Qiu paid no attention to these people. Taiyi Saint Heir, Demon Lord Holy Son, and others were his powerful rivals for seizing the Supreme Clock, not to mention the existence of a Protector. He had no time to waste on these people. If he dealt with that Protector, his pressure would lessen greatly, at least eliminating that absolute suppression. A dried-up old well—no ordinary person would think that this well was the core of the Death Formation. Ye Qiu was at the core position of the Death Formation. His hand caressed the stone wall of the well, eyes closed, feeling the entire formation. At this moment, Ye Qiu felt as if he was the formation, and the formation was him, giving him the ability to perceive everything within the formation. Soon, Ye Qiu found the positions of Taiyi Saint Heir and others. “So you’re here. Luckily, I didn’t delay too long; otherwise, you might have broken through this formation,” Ye Qiu realized. At this moment, Taiyi Saint Heir and others were already near the edge of the Death Formation. Once they broke through the skeleton army, they would reach new heights, getting closer to the summit of Mount Tai. Having found the positions of the five Saint Heirs, Ye Qiu was no longer worried and had no need for chaos. He sped quickly toward the Saint Heirs. “We’ve pushed all the way here; we should soon reach the edge of this formation,” Taiyi Saint Heir said. From the beginning, when the skeleton army increased to a dense and omnipresent level, to now, with fewer skeletons, they should be gradually approaching the edge of the Death Formation. In the formation, typically only the center is the most dangerous, with threats gradually decreasing toward the periphery, similar to the skeleton army—its changes in numbers occur regularly. “By then, we can break the formation by sheer force, open a gap in it, and leave here to reach higher ground,” the Demon Lord continued. That said, they were about to leave this skeleton-ridden place soon. If they stayed here too long, they’d feel they had entered hell—an unpleasant feeling. “If so, let’s hurry,” urged the Yaochi Son of Saints. Though facing skeletons was slightly better than facing demon frogs (at least not as disgusting), skeletons were all bone with no flesh, especially the hollow eye sockets, looking terrifying. The five continued moving forward, still advancing on flat ground. Each person made a move, killing the skeletons blocking their path. Gradually, there were fewer skeletons, and they made fewer moves. Almost there, soon reaching the edge. The five did not speak, but that was their feeling—they were finally about to be free of the undead skeleton army. A figure silently appeared behind the five Saint Heirs, undetected even by Elder Mu Zun. Ye Qiu moved like a falling leaf, or floating cloud, following closely behind Taiyi Saint Heir and others. The reason he managed to hide from Elder Mu Zun’s senses was that Ye Qiu had also comprehended the Death Formation. Previously, he had spent considerable time on it. As he watched them about to cross the Death Formation, Ye Qiu once again formed seals and executed formation seals straight onto the ground. A ripple spread across the ground, and soon, this ripple grew larger, enough for even the Saint Heirs to notice. “What’s happening?” Taiyi Saint Heir and others suddenly stopped. Although the vibrations from the ground were subtle, they sounded like thunder to experts like them. “Something’s wrong, I sense a peculiar aura,” Taiyi Saint Heir said. Elder Mu Zun did not speak, but his actions showed he sensed a passing threat from this sudden wave, revealing a rare grave expression. Apart from Taiyi Saint Heir and others, other Saint Heirs and Sealers were also puzzled about this ripple, feeling as if an earthquake was occurring. However, it was different from an earthquake because the vibrations had a rhythm, like a heartbeat. This puzzlement was cleared up after about fifty breaths; with the appearance of the massive figure, they realized the cause of the vibration. Was it caused by this giant creature? A massive figure rose from the soil, revealing its enormous body like a dinosaur from the dinosaur era, towering seven or eight zhang high. Each of its white bones, like jade, connected to form a super skeleton monster. The gigantic skeleton monster stood completely on the ground; its enormous skull bore horns, making it impossible to discern what terrifying creature it was alive. Even after death, as a skeleton monster, it still possessed supreme might, raising its head to the sky, emitting a strange sound. Hoarse, rasping, crying—no adjectives could describe this sound. It might have been howling at the sky, celebrating its return. The skeleton monster lowered its head to look at the Sealers on the ground, who appeared ant-sized to its eyes. A skeletal hand reached out to grab. A Sealer, seeing this, immediately realized the danger, cried out, and bolted away. The Sealer hadn’t fully articulated the words before his body was uncontrollably sent skyward. Unbeknownst to the Sealer, at some point, the skeleton monster’s finger had poked beneath his feet and flicked him up. The enormous arm passed through. The Sealer suddenly felt immobilized because he was now gripped in the skeleton monster’s hand. Its eyeless sockets gazed at the Sealer as if curious, as if playing. The Sealer frantically struggled, but no matter how he moved, he couldn’t escape the clutches of the white hand. People around were shocked and terrified, all retreating, unwilling to catch the skeleton monster’s attention, as the outcome could be dire. At this time, Taiyi Saint Heir, Demon Lord Holy Son, Yaochi Son of Saints, along with Elder Mu Zun, all saw the skeleton monster. Their hearts understood that the previous wave was caused by this giant creature. The skeleton monster suddenly turned its head, looking at Taiyi Saint Heir and others, and immediately began striding towards them. “Not good, this guy has set its sights on us,” Demon Lord Holy Son said in shock, wondering why it inexplicably started chasing them.
