788: Chapter 232_1 788: Chapter 232_1 Cao Zhen had already seen many skeletons and wronged souls, all of which were empty-handed.
Among the skeletons he currently faced, there was one that actually held something.
Was it simply a map?
Or a treasure?
As he pondered, among the three who had entered the cave after him, one of them, who looked particularly cold and ruthless, revealed a huge Pill Fusion floating behind him.
This Pill Fusion was formed from ten Golden Cores, including eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills!
Next to him, another man who appeared incredibly unassuming, who had remained silent and indifferent to his surroundings from the beginning, also saw the emergence of a Tao Base, Immortal Bridge, and Golden Cores behind him.
He too had a Pill Fusion completed with ten Golden Cores, but he possessed nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills.
Just one more, and he would achieve the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, a level of combat strength which was extremely high in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
In his hand, a long staff that seemed to be made of white jade appeared, and he fiercely smashed it down toward the skeleton holding what appeared to be a map.
As the staff struck down, it momentarily gave the illusion of a Sky-Pillar falling from beyond the heavens, instantly bursting the surrounding air and emitting a series of explosive, thunderous sounds.
Outside the cave, space seemed to collapse entirely due to the sudden and terrifying impact.
The others dared not leave the cave, so what he had unleashed was just a shadow of the massive staff.
However, even the mere shadow of the staff’s descent felt like it could sweep away desolation and obliterate the world.
In that moment, the night seemed to tear apart, space appeared to shatter, and the vast and unmatched aura of might violently descended.
The skeleton, sensing the attack of the staff, swiftly raised its arm—a white, bony forearm that seemed only slightly thicker than a common withered branch and devoid of flesh—placing it above its head like a shield.
It seemed as if a strike powerful enough to split the earth in half landed on the skeleton’s arm with a tremendous crash like a mountain collapsing onto the earth, yet the arm swayed slightly downward without a single mark.
It had blocked the man’s nearly full-powered strike with nothing but the pure strength of its arm.
Meanwhile, the cold man’s internal energy surged as he suddenly stretched out both hands, with a long spear appearing above them!
The next moment, he thrust the spear forward with both hands.
Though it was just one thrust, thousands of spear shadows emerged, each accompanied by a crisp, chirping sound, as if countless birds were flying out from the spear.
Countless spear shadows densely covered and assailed the skeleton.
This skeleton swung its arms once more as if using them as a shield to protect its body.
The torrent of spear shadows fell upon the skeleton’s arms and failed to knock the skeleton down or even push it back.
But after the consecutive assaults from the two men, the skeleton’s forearms that protected it were finally shaken apart.
At this time, the leader of the trio had a gigantic Pill Fusion manifest behind him.
Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
From a distance, Chen Yexian marveled at the grand Pill Fusion formed from ten different Golden Pills, a sight that filled his heart with awe.
Indeed, such a relic had attracted nearly all the top experts in the world.
On any normal day, one would hardly see so many with the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
Yet, they had only been here a short while and already encountered so many at this level of perfection.
At the same time, she felt some relief that, fortunately, they had encountered Linghu Gudu and his companions.
With Linghu Gudu and his company, they didn’t have to worry about these people suddenly attacking them.
Otherwise, if a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection with two others who had completed Pill Fusion decided to act against them, they would undoubtedly stand no chance.
Moreover, they were inside the cave, with no place to flee.
The third man, having fully unleashed his combat strength, now held a long saber in each hand.
Dual sabers!
Since arriving in this world, Cao Zhen had seen many who wielded sabers; his disciple Yan Yourong had also switched from sword to saber.
But most people used a single saber—he rarely saw anyone use dual sabers.
Furthermore, the sabers that this person wielded appeared to be quite special.
Even the blades of his sabers featured individual saw-like teeth.
He simultaneously swung the sabers in his hands, making a snipping motion as if wielding a giant pair of scissors, or perhaps like a massive Strange Beast wielding Iron Clamps.
As he did so, the shadow of a huge, dark beast resembling a giant crab materialized in the void, its massive clamps lunging at the skeleton holding the map in an attempt to snip off its arm.
His target was not to kill the adversary but rather the map or treasure held in its grasp!
The two massive clamps glowed with a strange blue light, reminiscent of the mythical heavenly swords as they fell with boundless sharpness, seeming to slice open the very world in a single cut.
His attack was visibly faster than the previous two assailants.
One moment, the giant clamps had just appeared; the next, they were right in front of the skeleton, and it seemed as if they were about to completely snip off the skeleton’s arm.
