of annihilation."Primal Chaos Body, you've been dormant for too long. Shouldn't you go out and move around a bit"As Gingercloud's words fell, a third Gingercloud emerged from within him, his long-unus...Even though Ginger Cloud was already on the brink of death, he suddenly made a move and even blocked the descending leg of the Emperor's skeleton! This scene not only caused the Emperor's skeleton and its soul avatar to change color at the same time, but even Xu Longxiang and his two companions, who were about to be pulled here, were dumbfounded.
Although the three of them were used as human weapons by the Emperor's Bones, constantly crashing into those bones and consuming the formation's power, they never took their eyes off Jiang Yun's every move.
Even, they placed their hope of survival on Jiang Yun.
Because they had some understanding of the power of the Emperor's Bones.
Under the Emperor's skeletal grasp, they were unable to even struggle. Yet, Jiang Yun was able to continuously launch attacks against the Emperor's skeleton.
When the Emperor’s skeletal finger pierced Jiang Yun's brow, and saw him fall backwards with his face upturned, the hope in their hearts vanished.
In their eyes, Ginger Cloud was already dead! Unexpectedly, Ginger Cloud is now alive again.
Furthermore, Ginger Cloud, after coming back to life, seemed to have further improved his strength compared to before! Just then, a voice transmission from Ginger Cloud suddenly rang in their ears: "Retreat immediately!"
Only then did they suddenly realize that the Emperor's skeletal remains had lost its binding power over them.
Clearly, the Emperor's Bones is now focusing all its attention on Jiang Yun, temporarily giving up control over them.
After discovering this, the three figures immediately retreated rapidly towards the rear.
"Death!"
The Great Emperor's bones didn't really bother with them. He roared again, raised his hand, and slammed it down towards Jiang Yun's head.
"Clang!"
Before his palm could fall, Jiang Yun's other hand had already grasped the Ancient Suppressing Spear, piercing his palm and stopping it from falling.
Seizing this opportunity, Jiang Yun's figure flickered, and he rose from the ground in an instant. The wound on his brow, pierced through moments ago, had already healed, and his eyes were blazing with golden light! The father Jiang Yun had just seen was no illusion; it was truly a drop of fresh blood left by Jiang Qiuyang within the Haodi Jade Slips.
It was precisely because of his father's blood that it awakened the golden blood power within his soul, pulling him back from the brink of death.
Even more surprisingly, he turned misfortune into good fortune! The drop of blood from his first life, absorbed by him, not only caused his cultivation to surge in a short period, but he could also clearly feel that his soul was like a rebirth from nirvana, becoming much stronger.
The golden light in his eyes was a sign of his soul power increasing.
"Death!"
The Emperor's skeletal body was struck on the palm by Jiang Yun's Ancient Suppressing Spear, further igniting his rage. His figure flickered and he charged towards Jiang Yun.
And Jiang Yun's figure also hurriedly retreated, and when he saw the other party about to come before him, a seal stone suddenly appeared in Jiang Yun's hand, and he squeezed it with all his might.
"Bang!"
The stone exploded, and a gigantic fissure ripped open in the darkness. It was like a gaping maw, swallowing up the Emperor's bones that were charging towards it in one gulp.
Immediately following, the fissure swiftly healed, and the Emperor's skeleton had vanished without a trace.
Above the darkness, Hao Di's divine consciousness avatar suddenly widened his eyes, a little disbelief in what he saw. But immediately after, he understood and said: "It was the handwriting of the quasi-emperor who is skilled in sealing!"
The "quasi-emperor" mentioned by the Haotian Emperor refers to the Fengming Great Celestial Venerable.
As Gingercloud's grandfather, the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Lord truly did his best to give all his good things to Gingercloud.
Before this, Jiang Yun had used a Wan Wu Feng (Ten Thousand Things Seal) to transform into a colossal umbrella that spanned the heavens, effortlessly sealing off a hundred-li forest.
Now, he sealed it once more, swallowing the Emperor's bones into the darkness rift.
Although he heard the voice of the Emperor Hao's divine clone, Jiang Yun did not pay any attention to it, and didn't even look at him.
His gaze had fallen to where he stood, or rather, to the countless shimmering threads of color that appeared in the darkness below.
"Now, the only way to restrain this great emperor's skeleton is to still rely on the power of this formation!"
Despite his return to life and the improvements in both his strength and soul, Ginger Cloud was well aware that such power would still be no match for the Emperor's Bones.
And now that the Emperor's bones have ripped off their disguise, there is no possibility of letting themselves live and leave today.
Jiang Yun felt that to survive, he still needed to rely on the power of formations to continue suppressing the Emperor's remains.
Although the power of the formation has indeed been weakened to the extreme, it is no longer able to suppress the Emperor's Bones, the formation itself has not completely collapsed.
The reason is Lu Zisu! Up to now, Lu Zisu is still in her original position, not daring to move.
And the shadow of the human strongman above her head, although also dimmed, was at least relatively complete. Compared to the shadows above Xu Longxiang and the other three, it was much stronger.
This is just like a tall building. Although three-quarters of the foundation has been destroyed and it is on the verge of collapse, at least one-quarter remains standing, still supporting the building from falling down.
Therefore, Jiang Yun wanted to see if he could reinforce the foundation further, adding a bit more power to this formation.
And, he no longer needed to suppress the Emperor's Skeleton completely with formations like before.
Since even his own father had failed to kill the Emperor's skeleton back then, Jiang Yun naturally couldn't be overconfident about being able to kill this Emperor.
He only needs to confine the Emperor's bones within a certain range, or weaken the opponent's power, preventing them from continuing to attack him and his people.
However, it's definitely impossible for him to do it all by himself.
After all, it takes time to figure out the changes in this grand formation and reinforce it again.
The seal that drags the emperor's bones into the fissure cannot last forever, so he still needs someone to hold off the emperor's bones and buy himself some time.
The most suitable candidates are naturally Xu Longxiang and the three.
This is also why Ginger Cloud just reminded Xu Longxiang and the three of them to leave quickly! While covering the entire formation with his gaze and divine sense, Ginger Cloud also sent a voice transmission to the three: "If you don't want to die, cooperate with us!"
"Hold the Emperor's Skeleton for me, I will try my best to reinforce this formation and suppress the Emperor's Skeleton."
The three who had already retreated a thousand miles heard Jiang Yun's transmission and looked at each other. Mo Yuan responded, "You flatter us too much. Even if we were in perfect condition, we wouldn't be a match for the Emperor's Bones together!"
"Not to mention, we're still hurt!"
Ginger Cloud, however, let out a cold laugh and said, "Then we can only each fend for ourselves. But I think my chances of survival are definitely much higher than yours!"
Although Xu Long and the others didn't know what Jiang Yun had just gone through, they had personally witnessed Jiang Yun's apparent death and resurrection. Therefore, they believed that the probability of Jiang Yun surviving was definitely greater than their own.
Ling Zu's Gu Qianxi pondered for a moment and said, "What are your chances of reinforcing the formation"
Ginger lightly said, "I'm about 70-80% sure!"
After looking at each other, the three of them nodded lightly. It was still Gu Qianxi who spoke first: "Okay, we three will try our best to hold off the Emperor's skeleton, but we don't know how long we can keep him occupied. You better hurry."
Of course, if you want to slip away while we're preoccupied with the Emperor's remains, don't blame us if we drag you down with us when we die.
For the agreement of the three, Jiang Yun had long expected it.
Although the three of them are nowhere near as powerful as the Emperor's Bones, they are still the proud offspring of their respective races. They entered the Imperial Tomb to compete for treasures, so they must have some means of self-preservation. Holding back the Emperor's Bones for a short time should be doable.
Jiang Yun smiled faintly. "The three of you, first withdraw your powers that have been immersed in the formation, and allow the three formation spirits to return to the formation."
The spirits formed by the four great clans' powerful individuals are the key to this grand formation. No matter what, we cannot allow them to dissipate.
Spirit!
Ginger Cloud's words gave the three of them a glimmer of hope.
They were truly oblivious, unaware that the shadow enveloping them was the very spirit of this grand formation.
Ginger Cloud then continued, "Also, from now on, stop killing those skeletons."
As long as you no longer move toward the direction of the Emperor's skeletal remains, they will not attack you proactively.
As expected, when the three withdrew the power they had poured into the formation, they saw three spirit forms that had become blurred almost to the point of transparency instantly vanish.
And as the spirits vanished, the skeletons that had been relentlessly attacking them came to a standstill, frozen like statues.
This gave the three of them a surprised look on their faces. Although no one spoke, their confidence increased significantly.
"Alright, recover your strength quickly. The Emperor's Bones will reappear soon."
After dropping that sentence, Jiang Yun ignored the three of them and retreated a few steps, focusing all his attention on the formation.
The three of them fell silent, each holding several pills in their hands which they swallowed.
Just as Jiang Yun had thought, they all had life-saving treasures on them, such as these pills, which were not ordinary.
After swallowing it, the effect came quickly, rapidly healing their wounds and restoring their strength.
After about twenty breaths had passed, a deafening "crack" echoed through the air. From the darkness before Jiang Yun, a skeletal hand shot out suddenly, ripping the darkness apart with a violent force.
The emperor's skeleton stepped out from within, his gaze sweeping across the crowd and landing on Jiang Yun. In an instant, he strode towards him.
And Ginger Cloud, looking at him, let out a cold smile. A third sealing stone appeared in her hand, which she crushed with force. Her figure instantly vanished without a trace.
This bizarre scene left Xu Longxiang and the others astonished. They couldn't figure out how Jiang Yun had done it. The Haodi's divine consciousness incarnation gritted his teeth and said, "He sealed himself away. He must be trying to strengthen the formation. Don't worry about him, he definitely can't succeed!"
The Emperor Skeleton suddenly turned its head, its figure flickering as it charged toward Xu Longxiang and the other three.
Although he could break through Jiang Yun's seal, it would take some time, and during that time, he might as well kill these three first.
Faced with the Emperor's skeleton that suddenly appeared before the three of them, Xu Longxiang and the others could only grit their teeth and charge forward.
At the same time, Ginger Cloud, who was self-sealing, muttered to himself: "The Four Clans Formation requires the power of all four clans!"
"And the power of the four tribes, I seem to... have it all!" heavily, "Of course, if it were anyone else, even Feng Wu Ming himself, knowing this place wouldn't allow them to enter the domain gate. Only someone like Gu Zhi Nian could manage it!"Ginger Cloud as...
