Chapter 899 Refining the golden skeleton (2)

As that radiant golden light burst out from the golden skeleton, even the purple light coming from Shun Long's earth flame appeared to have been suppressed, as the skeleton's golden bones lit up with an even more vibrant golden hue.

The brilliant golden light emanating from the golden skeleton quickly intensified, casting a mesmerizing glow across the foggy s.p.a.ce inside the 'Stone of Time'. Countless intricate and mysterious runes began to materialize one after the other, forming hundreds of complicated patterns that adorned the surface of the skeleton's gleaming bones. Each line and curve seemed to hold endless profound and ancient secrets, as if the mysteries of the 'Heavenly Dao' itself were hidden inside each of these runes!

Even Little Black was taken aback when he felt the overbearing force coming from the golden skeleton, which was powerful enough to make even Sovereign realm experts lower their heads obediently in front of it!

This was the majesty of a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal! Even in death, the power inside his body was still so immense, that it was enough to strike terror in the hearts of even peak-stage Sovereign realm experts!

And yet, the moment the golden skeleton's aura touched him, Shun Long's figure merely trembled for a single moment, before his body quickly returned back to its original calm state, as if he had felt nothing but a mere light breeze brus.h.i.+ng past him. As soon as it made contact with Shun Long's figure, the golden skeleton's aura instantly dissipated into thin air, as if it had never existed in the first place.

''It seems that even the aura of a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal is completely suppressed inside the 'Stone of Time'...'' Shun Long mumbled to himself in a calm manner as he continued to stare at the countless intricate runes on the skeleton's golden bones.

As soon as his purple-colored earth flame touched the golden skeleton's figure earlier, Shun Long could feel the golden skeleton's energy instantly setting its sights on him, before it abruptly burst with a horrifying power that was more than enough to obliterate everything around it to pieces!

Even the most powerful of Sovereign realm experts would find themselves no different from tiny ants caught amidst a ma.s.sive storm if they sensed this overwhelming power!

And yet, as soon as the golden skeleton's energy burst out, Shun Long could also sense the 'Stone of Time' inside his spiritual s.p.a.ce vibrating slightly, before everything instantly returned back to normal!

It was nothing but a small inaudible hum coming from a single vibration from the 'Stone of Time', and yet the moment it sounded out, the golden skeleton's energy immediately dispersed, as if it didn't dare to even act up any longer!

Naturally, Shun Long wasn't overly surprised when he sensed this development. In the first place, he knew that refining the golden skeleton wasn't going to be as easy as it seemed. After all, even experts at the Northern Sovereign's level couldn't get their hands on the golden skeleton back in the 'King's Palace' due to its overwhelmingly strong aura, so how could it be any easier to refine it?

However, although the corpse of an Earth Immortal expert was indeed mighty, how could it possibly raise any significant waves while inside the 'Stone of Time'?

This was why Shun Long wasn't any worried about the golden skeleton's remnant killing intent and dared to start the refinement process like this right away! No matter what, inside the 'Stone of Time', any and every other treasures were all the same. None of them could truly contend with the triangular-shaped stone that was hovering inside his spiritual s.p.a.ce!

Of course, even without the 'Stone of Time', Shun Long was still confident that the golden skeleton's remnant energy would be unable to really threaten him in the end. After all, with Little Black by his side, the corpse of an Earth Immortal wouldn't be able to truly harm him!

At worst, he would just have to delay the refinement process while Little Black slowly chipped away the remaining killing intent inside the golden skeleton! At most, Shun Long would just have to wait a few months before he began the refinement process again.

Thankfully, none of that was required in the end.

...

As the golden skeleton's remnant killing intent finally faded away, Little Black's bright azure eyes narrowed slightly, before the black dragon said in a clearly surprised tone

''Master, this skeleton doesn't even have a wisp of its original soul remaining, and yet his killing intent was still unwilling to disappear even after so long. Most likely, even among 9th tribulation Earth Immortals, it seems that this person was definitely somewhat extraordinary. At the very least, he wasn't your average 9th tribulation Earth Immortal!'' After a brief moment of silence, Little Black's eyes continued to stare at the figure of the golden skeleton before he continued

''Still, it's a shame... Since this person fell during his 9th tribulation of the Earth Immortal realm, even his bones were bound to return to dust in the end.''

Shun Long nodded his head without saying anything, while his gaze continued to linger on the golden skeleton's radiant runes that were gradually fading from existence, looking like they were being absorbed back inside the skeleton's bones.

From the beginning, Shun Long had already come to the conclusion that the golden skeleton must have been an extremely impressive figure of the central continent while it was still alive. After all, to become a 9th tribulation Earth Immortal through body cultivation was even harder than doing so through one's normal qi cultivation. How could such a figure, who was only a step away from ascending to the 'Immortal Dimension' while it was still alive, possibly be ordinary? After a moment of silence, once the remaining runes had completely vanished from the golden skeleton's surface, Shun Long finally closed his eyes and emptied his mind once more. A moment later, Shun Long opened his eyes again and looked at the golden skeleton in front of him, before he said in a resolute tone

''Senior, I'm going to make use of the remaining energy left inside your body, but I will make sure to give you a proper burial in return!''

In the next moment, without any more hesitation, Shun Long's purple-colored earth flame surged forth, as it completely enveloped the golden skeleton's figure for the second time!
