Mortals: Tiannan's First Body Cultivator

The Golden-Headed Skeleton King looked at the fleeing bandits and said in a deep voice:
"Alright! All the outsiders have left, it's time to send you on your way!"

After saying that, nine cultivators in the fusion stage immediately surrounded Xue Lian, Old Man Li and the second in command.

Seeing this, Xue Lian sneered and said:

“If you fail in the great battle, you will die!

You have ruined my foundation, so I will let you be buried with me!"

After saying that, the fire-attributed spiritual power around the blood lotus suddenly burst out and turned into a huge blood-colored lotus, as if it was going to wrap up all nine cultivators in the fusion stage!
Upon seeing this, the Golden-Headed Skeleton King raised his hand and punched the petals of the blood-red lotus, but found that the power he was so proud of was unable to break it!

"Is this the magical power of the Great Perfection of the Fusion Stage? It's really extraordinary!

Everyone gather around me, lest we be defeated one by one!"

However, before the Golden-Headed Skeleton King finished his words, a blood-red flame emerged from a petal of the huge blood-red lotus, and the flame instantly attached itself to the body of the nearest Tianpeng cultivator in the early stage of fusion!
In just a moment, flames spread all over his body like maggots on the tarsal bones. Within three or two breaths, the Tianpeng cultivator fell into the Populus euphratica forest. His body was intact, but his soul had long since turned to ashes!

Upon seeing this, the remaining eight monks in the fusion stage were also horrified by the strange red flame, and hurriedly used various defensive magic treasures to protect themselves!

At the same time, the golden-headed Skeleton King roared, and his originally white bone body suddenly burst into dazzling golden light. His body also grew rapidly, like a giant holding up the sky!
He punched toward the sky, finally breaking the blood-colored lotus's wrapping and transforming into a eight-hundred-foot-tall skeleton giant, standing in the poplar forest!
"Blood Lotus, although your evil fire magic power is strange, my Skeleton Clan can break all magic with one force!

Today I will let you experience the power of my Skeleton Clan's supreme martial art, the Golden Battle Body!"

As they were talking, the two sides started fighting again. This battle of three against eight was evenly matched. Above the entire poplar forest, almost the sky and earth changed color. The desert within a radius of thousands of miles was stirred up by endless sandstorms, sweeping in all directions!
However, while the battle was going on above, there was a figure inside the underground palace of the Populus euphratica tree who was exploring something furtively!
The monk was wearing a black robe and his figure and face could not be seen clearly, but upon closer inspection, his feet were actually white bones without any flesh or blood. It was clear that he belonged to the same bone clan as the golden-headed skeleton king!
It turned out that although the Skeleton Clan monk was cooperating with the Flying Spirit Clan monks, he actually had a backup plan. He sent three people to cooperate with the Flying Spirit Clan, and another Skeleton Clan monk in the fusion stage who was good at stealth sneaked into the underground palace and took the lead in seizing the heart of the Poplar Tree!

However, this black-robed monk of the Skeleton Clan did not know that, also in the center of the earth, there was another monk who was secretly watching his every move.

The cultivator who was spying in secret was naturally Jiang Chuan. When the Blood Lotus leader showed up and ordered the members of the Niehuo Gang to flee in all directions, Jiang Chuan took the opportunity to escape and then used the "Earth Yuan Escape Technique" to sneak to the vicinity of the underground palace, but he happened to run into a black-robed cultivator from the Skeleton Clan who was also well versed in the art of hiding!
No one knew what means the black-robed monk had used to gather his skills and even his vitality, hiding himself as a lifeless skeleton to avoid all kinds of detection.

But Jiang Chuan's skills were superior, his Earth Element Escape Technique could completely blend in with the surrounding earth-attributed sand and rocks, making it impossible for the enemy to detect it at all!

At the same time, Jiang Chuan did not release his spiritual consciousness, but relied on his powerful five senses to secretly observe the every move of the black-robed men of the Skeleton Clan!
The black-robed man of the Skeleton Clan stepped carefully into the depths of the underground palace. In the center of the underground palace, many roots stretched throughout the palace, which were obviously the roots of the Populus euphratica tree. Where the roots gathered was a huge red bloodstone, which was quite similar to the bloodstone that Jiang Chuan had obtained on the Fire Rock Island in the human world, but it was also different!

The bloodstone in the underground palace is much larger than the one in the human world. It is like a huge millstone with a radius of ten feet. What is even more magical is that this bloodstone is translucent, and it seems that something is sealed inside the bloodstone!

That thing looked like a treasure, shaped like a lotus, and looked quite extraordinary.

Obviously, even the Blood Lotus Boss who had owned this item for tens of thousands of years could not open this red blood stone and take out the treasure inside!
At this moment, this huge blood stone has been entangled by the roots of the Populus euphratica tree, as if it has formed a symbiotic relationship with the Populus euphratica tree. It is quite strange!
The black-robed man from the Skeleton Clan walked to the bloodstone and stroked it carefully. His bony fingers gently brushed over the bloodstone and the roots on it, as if he was caressing his lover, with a look of intoxication!

"Treasure! A real treasure!
Even the Blood Lotus Bandit Chief, who was at the peak of the late stage of the fusion, was unable to take out the treasure in this blood stone. It must be a treasure that is enough to make a Mahayana cultivator go to war for it!

I didn't expect to have such a harvest this time. It really is an opportunity. I have finally achieved enlightenment!
Although the heart of the ancestral poplar tree must be handed over to the clan, no one knows about this blood stone.

"Looking at the ability of the Blood Lotus bandit leader, Jintou and the others certainly don't have the ability to search his soul. If I keep this treasure, without anyone noticing, the road will be not far away! Hahaha!"

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. Before he could feel the attack, a terrifying force attacked his head. Even though his skeleton body was strong, the fire of his soul was almost annihilated by the shaking of his head!

Then, a black light enveloped him, and the black-robed man from the Skeleton Clan completely lost consciousness.

Looking at the skeleton lying on the ground, Jiang Chuan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this cultivator in the middle stage of fusion had almost no ability to fight back in his hands!

Fortunately, inside this underground palace, he does not worry about exposing his identity, so he can use the Human Emperor Banner and other magical treasures at will. If he were in the outside world, he would not dare to reveal his identity and it would not be so easy to take it down!

The bodies of these Skeleton Clan monks are all valuable treasures. Jiang Chuan carefully put away the skeleton frame and storage ring of the black-robed Skeleton Clan monk, and then he looked at the strange sight of the tree roots entangled with bloodstone in front of him!

When Jiang Chuan first saw this scene, he was quite confused. Logically speaking, considering the age of this poplar tree, it must have already developed intelligence and even powerful magical powers!
But the vitality of the roots of the poplar tree in front of him has become quite weak, and there is no trace of spiritual intelligence hidden in it!
After a careful inspection, Jiang Chuan finally understood the reason. It seemed that all this was the work of Xue Lian, the leader of the Niehuo gang.

The Blood Lotus Boss has had this blood stone probably tens of thousands of years ago. Although he is unable to uncover the secrets contained in it, he has discovered some of its wonderful uses.

It was obvious that he had used the blood stone to seduce the Populus euphratica tree, but when the Populus euphratica tree tried to absorb the blood stone, it was attacked back and completely lost its spiritual wisdom and magical powers. (End of this chapter)
