584 King Bone Holy Altar
âPlease, donât take my words to heart,â the rough man said, his flexibility evident in his smooth kneeling.
âQuickly, get up,â the little girl insisted, helping the rough man to his feet. âWe are magnanimous and wonât be bothered by such small matters. Where did you say the six clansâ invitation is?â
âAt the King Bone Holy Altar, in the center of the spirit bone level,â he replied.
Before the rough man could finish, the surrounding crowd gasped. âKing Bone Holy Altar? Are the six royal clans insane? Thatâs a true forbidden area! Ordinary martial artists like us would be shattered with just one step!â Their voices shook with the profound respect they held for the King Bone Holy Altar. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLegend has it that after death, king realm creaturesâ corpses remain incomplete because the spirit world devours a certain bone in their bodies. Some say itâs a mark of an expert, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao,â they shared.
âTheyâre not stupid,â the little girl interjected, her face a sneer. âEach king realm expertâs bone possesses tremendous power. The so-called âGreat Path powerâ is nothing but the remnant power from those king realm bones. The accumulation of tens of thousands of these bones turned the King Bone Holy Altar into a forbidden area, too potent even for purebloods and future kings to traverse freely. They are, after all, true kingâs bones.â
The crowd listened, entranced by the depth of knowledge the little girl offered. But just as abruptly as she began, she stopped speaking.
âLetâs go. We should get ready!â she commanded, disappearing into the forest.
Qin Huai, seemingly unfazed by her domineering demeanor, followed.
After several miles, the little girl stopped, hopping around as if searching for something. Suddenly, she landed, her expression severe as she addressed Qin Huai. âYou canât go! You absolutely canât go! The six royal clans are truly shameless.â
âWhy do you say that?â Qin Huai asked, âIn the King Bone Holy Altar, isnât the pressure from the kingâs bones lenient toward them?â
âYouâre correct!â the little girl asserted, hands on her hips. âNot only can they be lenient, but they can also wield the power of those king bones against us. Many of them are their ancestors. Even in death, their auras can be discerned. With the use of certain supreme clan treasures, they can control these bones as if they were an extension of themselves. In the king realm, even after death, the remnants of their bodies and souls retain formidable power.â
âArenât you also a member of the eight royal clans, Princess Qing Cang? Donât you have treasures befitting your status?â Qin Huai asked casually.
âI⦠My father is merely a prince, he wouldnât command the treasures of the past sages,â the little girl responded, her eyes evasive. âIn essence, we arenât just fighting the six royal clans. Upon entering the King Bone Holy Altar, weâll have to face the top experts of those clans from ancient times.â
âIs there no possibility of victory?â Qin Huai pressed.
âThatâs absurd! The six royal clans have been at their peak for countless years, never declining. Though time may have eroded the king bonesâ power, they still count more than a hundred king tier entities amongst them. I fear only our Great Youâs founding emperor, the Dragon Emperorâs ancestor, could suppress them.â
The little girl sighed. âRegrettably, my Dragon Emperor ancestor was the only emperor realm expert since the dawn of the Great You, counting both the human and demon races. Perhaps the Qingzhou Emperor, who almost eradicated eight clans in Qingzhou, could be considered half a candidate.â
âWhy?â Qin Huai asked, hearing the name of Senior Emperor of Qingzhou from the little girl once again.
âBecause the Qingzhou Emperor, though invincible in Qingzhou, can no longer reach that invincible realm. Although Qingzhou still boasts top-notch king realm experts and has even surpassed the three sects to become the human raceâs peak, theyâre no longer invincible.â
As time passed, Qin Huai began to understand the power of the senior Huang of Qingzhou. Even the worldâs overlords held immense respect for the Qingzhou Emperor.
From the little girl, he learned about the change in power in the Great You ten thousand years ago, including the invasion of the eight great royal clans and the worldâs transformation.
In essence, the human raceâs peak was maintained by the three sects, which took turns producing emperors. However, ten thousand years ago, with the death of the last emperor, the human race no longer had an emperor.
The appearance of the True Dragon Emperor in the dragon clan triggered a world-changing event. The True Dragon Emperor, according to the little girl, didnât annihilate the human race out of his desire for all races to coexist.
âIn conclusion, we absolutely must not go to this battle!â the little girl insisted.
âAlright.â Qin Huai nodded casually.
