King of Ten Thousand Years

Several large Bone Fragments from the giant skeleton were scattered about.

Ninth Master, Hongyi, and the others tried to grab them, but their attempts were thwarted by the Winged Vengeful Ghost’s attacks.

”Damn it!”

Ninth Master’s expression darkened as his pitch-black claws tore five eerie, cold streaks of dark light through the air.

”Go collect those Bone Fragments!”

Ninth Master ordered his subordinates.

He, Hongyi, and a few High Tier Earth Element Realm cultivators would hold off the Winged Vengeful Ghost, allowing the other thieves to collect the Bone Fragments.

Otherwise, in this vast, chaotic void, the scattered Bone Fragments would soon be blown away without a trace.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Several thieves broke away and chased after the Bone Fragments.

”Be careful! The void currents here are incredibly fierce and unpredictable!”

a green-haired thief warned.

In the core region of the Chaotic Wind Flow, even a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm cultivator could perish if they weren’t careful.

The thieves moved slowly, not daring to rush, lest they fall into a dangerous situation.

”Haha, I got a Bone Fragment!”

A thief laughed, clutching a few two-to-three-meter-long bones with two Blood Corpse Flowers growing on them.

This flower could be used to strengthen one’s vitality and physique, or it could be used for poison or corpse refinement.

Suddenly,

the Chaotic Wind Flow in his location intensified. His True Essence Shield was rapidly eroded, and it was as if an incomparably sharp, grayish-white blade slashed through the air. His arm stung with a sharp pain before falling off!

”Ah!”

The thief screamed. Realizing he was in a region of powerful currents, he hastily condensed a True Essence Shield and quickly retreated.

”Too dangerous!”

Looking as though he had just survived a disaster, he watched his severed arm get blown into the distance and sliced into several pieces by the currents. He knew he was destined to be one-armed.

Just then, he looked over at the Dark Blue Void Ship.

A human at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer ran out, seemingly wanting to snatch a nearby Bone Fragment.

”An ignorant human blinded by greed. A mere cultivator at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer... He’s simply courting death!”

he sneered, making no move to stop him.

In his eyes, Luo Tian’s True Essence Shield would probably shatter in the next moment, and he would be diced into mincemeat.

The other thieves also saw this scene and, in no rush to intervene, settled in to watch the show.

”Members of the Undead Thieves, you only found this treasure because you were chasing my ship. It’s only fair that we get a share. I’ll be taking this Bone Fragment, then!”

Luo Tian said with a smile.

”Hahaha, if you’ve got the skills, then by all means, take it!”

Several thieves roared with laughter.

Luo Tian was a full two hundred meters away from the Bone Fragment. In this complex environment, a round trip would take more than five breaths. He was certain to die.

Furthermore, the Undead Thieves had discovered that the Chaotic Wind Flow intensified near the Bone Fragments. In other words, these treasures were a double-edged sword that would put their owner in danger.

”Alright, you’re the ones who said it!”

Luo Tian was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected the thieves to actually agree, and a smile crept onto his face.

’You think I can’t take this Bone Fragment?’

WHOOSH!

Luo Tian activated his Wind Manipulation Technique. As a Celestial Level Body Technique at the Great Achievement Realm, it was incredibly fast and agile, and it was even more effective in a windy environment.

For a moment, it looked to the thieves as if Luo Tian had been torn apart and annihilated by the Chaotic Wind Flow.

But then they saw him rapidly closing in on the Bone Fragment.

”What a profound Body Technique! It has to be at least Celestial Level!”

one of the thieves exclaimed in shock.

A mere, ordinary Earth Element Realm cultivator had actually cultivated a Celestial Level Body Technique to such a degree!

In less than two breaths,

Luo Tian reached the Bone Fragment and snatched it up!

”He got it!”

”Even if he got it, whether he can make it back to the Void Ship alive is another question!”

”That’s right! After grabbing the Bone Fragment, he’ll be hit by an even more violent Chaotic Wind Flow!”

the thieves discussed amongst themselves.

But some of them were no longer so confident.

SWISH! SWISH!

Clutching the Bone Fragment, Luo Tian’s figure moved like the wind as he charged toward the Dark Blue Void Ship.

The surrounding Chaotic Wind Flow was indeed terrifying. Luo Tian’s True Essence Shield thinned at an extremely rapid pace.

The rate at which he replenished his True Essence couldn’t keep up with its depletion.

When he was still twenty meters from the Dark Blue Void Ship, the True Essence Shield on his body shattered completely. Several grayish-white, blade-like currents sliced toward Luo Tian!

Luo Tian activated his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body and adjusted his position, allowing those few currents to strike his torso.

He was wearing the Cold Jade Armor.

The Fourth-Layer of the Celestial Furnace Treasure Body could amplify the defensive capabilities of a Defensive Treasure Artifact. The sharp, grayish-white currents slashed down, only to be blocked by the Treasure Armor.

Luo Tian passed through the Void Ship’s Defense Shield and returned safely!

One Bone Fragment, secured!

The nearby thieves, as well as the crew on the pitch-black Void Ship, watched this scene, utterly dumbfounded!

”He actually managed to get the Bone Fragment!”

”How is that possible? The True Essence quality of someone at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer couldn’t possibly last that long in the core region of the Chaotic Wind Flow!”

”He must be wearing a Top Grade Defense Treasure Armor!”

The thieves were shocked and doubtful, finding it hard to believe!

A Low Tier Earth Element Realm cultivator would die a violent death after just a few breaths of exposure in the core of the Chaotic Wind Flow.

However, the Celestial Essence Water Condensation Technique that Luo Tian cultivated was a Martial Venerate Level Technique. His current True Essence intensity was close to that of the Earth Element Realm Third Layer!

In addition, the combination of his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body and Defensive Treasure Armor greatly increased Luo Tian’s Defense!

His torso could withstand an Attack from even an Earth Element Realm Fourth Layer cultivator!

It was no wonder others thought Luo Tian was wearing a Top Grade Defense Treasure Armor.

Luo Tian took the Purple Crystal Stone from the bone and, after careful observation, revealed a look of pleasant surprise. ”This is actually... a Spiritual Essence Crystal Stone!”

”A Spiritual Essence Crystal Stone? The crystal formed from the residual True Essence in a Martial Artist’s Primordial Pool under special circumstances after their death!”

Yan Lihui was also greatly shocked.

The owner of that skeleton had been at least at the High Tier Celestial Pool Realm when they were alive. One could only imagine how precious a Spiritual Essence Crystal Stone left behind by such an expert would be!

Spiritual Essence Crystal Stones were similar to Spiritual Essence Coins and Spirit Crystals, but they were more suitable for Cultivation and had far superior effects.

Luo Tian put away the Spiritual Essence Crystal Stone, looked up again, and fixed his gaze on another Bone Fragment!

This Bone Fragment was three hundred meters away from Luo Tian.

WHOOSH!

Luo Tian shot out of the Void Ship, intending to strike again.

”Stop him!”

The thieves shouted, no longer underestimating Luo Tian.

”Kid, I advise you to give up on this Bone Fragment and hand over the treasure you just obtained. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving today!”

An incredibly fat member of an Alien Race, who looked like a giant water barrel, yelled at Luo Tian.

Luo Tian ignored the threat.

He was closer to the second Bone Fragment than the other thieves and would be able to reach it first.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The wind currents sliced at him, and the True Essence Shield around Luo Tian rapidly wore thin.

This was despite him constantly replenishing his True Essence.

’Almost there!’

Luo Tian pushed his Wind Manipulation Technique to its limit, making a beeline for the second bone.

When he was still forty to fifty meters away, he suddenly took out a dark whip and infused it with his Spiritual Power and Divine Vein Power.

BUZZ! WHOOSH!

The whip suddenly pulsed with dark light patterns as it extended, and the large hook at its end latched onto the distant Bone Fragment, rapidly pulling it back.

The moment the hook snagged its target, Luo Tian started to retreat.

But at that exact moment, three Middle Tier Earth Element Realm thieves charged at him!

”Leave the treasure!”

”Kill him!”

The thieves were furious, their killing intent surging.

A mere cultivator at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer dared to steal treasure from their Undead Thieves? He must have a death wish!

Luo Tian sensed the rapidly approaching danger. He abruptly turned and activated the Demon Thought Technique.

His eyes emitted a strange, dark glow, and bewitching demonic words drifted from his lips, low and muddled, as if echoing from the Nine Nether Abyss.

An evil, unpredictable spiritual aura spread out.

When Luo Tian’s gaze swept over the three thieves, their bodies trembled slightly, and their killing intent and malicious thoughts instantly multiplied several times over.

Under these conditions, they began to ignore the surrounding Chaotic Wind Flow. Before they could even vent their anger on Luo Tian, they found themselves in peril.

”What a cunning brat! To think he knows an evil Spiritual Secret Technique!”

The fat alien was the first to regain a trace of clarity in his eyes, and he suddenly threw out a palm strike.

BOOM!

An overwhelming Palm Force surged out, releasing an incredibly heavy pressure!

This fat alien’s Cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Fifth Layer. The power of his Palm Technique was immense, enough to easily crush an ordinary Low Tier Earth Element Realm cultivator!

What’s more, given Luo Tian’s current situation, even a slight impact could cause him to die a miserable death in the Chaotic Wind Flow.

Luo Tian reckoned that even with his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body combined with the Cold Jade Armor, it would be difficult to block.

So, he used the huge Bone Fragment in his hand as a shield, holding it behind him.

Of course, before doing so, he plucked the three Blood Corpse Flowers and a peculiar purple fruit from the Bone Fragment.

BAM! CRACK!

The fat alien’s fierce palm strike hit the Bone Fragment on Luo Tian’s back, creating several cracks.

The Bone Fragment cracked into three pieces. About sixty percent of the palm technique’s power continued through, shattering his True Essence Shield and hitting Luo Tian’s back!

Luo Tian pushed his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body to its limit, coordinating with the Defense of the Cold Jade Armor. A sharp pain shot through his back, and the True Essence and vitality in his body roiled!

BANG!

However, the powerful force of the palm strike also pushed Luo Tian forward, sending him hurtling toward the Dark Blue Void Ship at an even faster speed.

”He’s not dead?”

The fat alien was greatly astonished!

He, a mighty cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Fifth Layer, had attacked a junior at the Peak of Earth Element Realm First Layer and actually failed to kill him!

At this moment, the attacks from the other two Earth Element Realm cultivators hurtled toward Luo Tian.

Aboard the Dark Blue Void Ship,

Yan Lihui suddenly rushed out to Luo Tian’s side, wildly slashing with a pitch-black great saber in his hand.

He activated his nascent understanding of the True Intent of the Saber Technique. Every slash was incomparably fierce, cold, and tyrannical, unleashing a storm of sharp, black light!

Yan Lihui’s timely support greatly reduced the pressure on Luo Tian.

BOOM! BANG!

The attacks from the other two Middle Tier Earth Element Realm cultivators were blocked by Yan Lihui, and an explosion swept through the area.

Luo Tian and Yan Lihui tumbled onto the Void Ship.

”Let’s go, now!”

Luo Tian shouted.

Yi Jingwen immediately started up the Void Ship and sped away from the area!

Snatching food from the tiger’s mouth this time had been incredibly perilous; the ”tiger” in question was one of the Seven Great Legendary Thief Gangs.

Moreover, Luo Tian had discovered that the Winged Vengeful Ghost’s power would gradually decrease as its skeleton was broken apart. Its defeat was only a matter of time.

Getting two Bone Fragments was enough; being any greedier would only get them killed.

WHOOSH!

Luo Tian personally took the helm. The Void Ship was incredibly nimble and soon vanished from sight.

The thieves behind them found it difficult to give chase, and the Undead Thieves’ Void Ship couldn’t possibly abandon its captain and a large group of thieves to pursue them. They could only watch helplessly as Luo Tian and the others disappeared into the vast expanse of grayish-white currents.
