A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 175 Divine Bones

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and rocks of all sizes fell from the cave walls, raising clouds of dust.

"Oh no! This place is about to collapse! Everyone, get out of here immediately!" Before many people could react, the Grand Elder shouted urgently.

Without hesitation, everyone transformed into arrows released from a bow, rushing out at breakneck speed.

"Boom!"

After everyone left the Jing Shou Tang, a muffled sound rang out from inside the mountain, and the earth trembled.

"Has everyone come out yet?" the village chief asked urgently as soon as they reached the cave entrance.

Many people exclaimed, "They've all come out!"

The little devil looked up, his sharp eyes darting around, and suddenly jumped up, saying anxiously, "Oh no, Brother Bufan hasn't come out yet!"

"what?"

Everyone was greatly surprised, and they looked around, but they couldn't find Chao Bufan anywhere.

Baiyu grabbed her father's hand and pleaded, "Father, please think of a way to save Brother Bufan! He's trapped inside."

The Lily Fairy frowned slightly when she saw the cave entrance blocked by fallen rocks. She said, "If he died so easily, he wouldn't be him."

……

As the village chief and the others fled for their lives, Chao Bufan naturally rushed out as well, for he valued his life the most among them and didn't want to be buried alive by the boulder. However, the moment he flashed away from the library and appeared before the altar, he was firmly bound by a strange and powerful force emanating from it, rendering him completely immobile. Just as panic set in, the altar sank, blocking the exit and plunging the surroundings into darkness. At the very instant the altar sank, a white light flashed from within the black coffin. He looked up sharply and saw a thick white beam of light slowly rising from within the black coffin in the dark stone hall, its radiance constantly changing. Initially, the light was only the size of a thumb, but it gradually grew to the thickness of a wrist, and at the same time, the pure white radiance illuminated the entire stone hall as if it were daytime.

A fierce, raging wind suddenly blew in from nowhere, its force quite violent. The entire stone hall seemed to tremble slightly under the light, its glow flickering like a silent, ferocious beast.

A radiant light, like a curtain, illuminated the entire stone hall. Ripples of light drifted by, then suddenly paused. Under his gaze, a strange scene materialized deep within the light—a scene reminiscent of an eternally dark night sky, an era before even the faintest starlight existed. Ancient, deep songs drifted through the profound universe, where there was no light except for the vast darkness.

Suddenly, the ancient music surged forth, with faint drumbeats, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the ground to shake. The darkness twisted, and countless unknowable sounds seemed to stir within it, like hungry ghosts from hell, like primordial ferocity, or like angels dancing and singing. All sorts of sounds mingled together, making one's blood boil and one's blood surge. Suddenly, a ray of light, the very first ray of light between heaven and earth, burst forth from the deepest part of the darkness.

All the darkness twisted and turned in an instant, rushing towards that sliver of light like a raging tide. Demons howled, their cries grotesque and terrifying, and the ancient music reached its climax. The light trembled, seemingly with a wild intent, and then exploded in an instant. In a deafening roar, something resembling a human spine suddenly emerged from the light, as thick as a wrist and a meter long, both eerie and ordinary.

"boom!"

A thunderclap suddenly exploded, the heavens and earth trembled, and the light curtain twisted again. This strange and magical ancient phenomenon vanished instantly, leaving only an incomparably brilliant light illuminating the entire stone hall from the spine.

At that moment, the earth shook and the mountains cracked. Every inch of the land became transparent, with endless brilliant light shining out from beneath the soil. The pillars of light swayed, and the ancient songs, which had been drifting and spreading through the endless ages and had never been extinguished, roared once again at this moment.

"This is……"

The old man's surprised voice suddenly rang in Chao Bufan's mind. After a moment of contemplation, he excitedly said, "A divine bone! This is a divine bone!"

"Divine bones?"

Chao Bufan snapped out of his shock, his face filled with astonishment.

"Hahaha, kid, you've really struck gold this time! This is a divine bone, a divine object formed from the essence, energy, and spirit of all the immortals, gods, demons, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters since the beginning of time. It possesses the power to create heaven and earth, the ability to seize the creation of heaven and earth, and the power to invade the sun and moon. This thing can absorb the essence, energy, and spirit of others, causing them to instantly vanish and die. Quickly, this thing is extremely spiritual, don't let it escape. Once it falls into the hands of evil, even gods can't save us."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan frowned, but without hesitation, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and reached for the divine bone. However, in just one move, he firmly grasped the divine bone in his hand. He frowned again, and asked suspiciously, "Senior, didn't you say that this divine bone is extremely spiritual? Why don't I feel anything at all?"

"How is that possible? This is a divine bone." The old man clearly had some doubts.

Chao Bufan held it in his hand, looking at it from left to right, but he couldn't see anything special about it. He asked in bewilderment, "Senior, I'm telling the truth. No matter how I look at it, it just looks like an ordinary thing."

"Impossible, kid. Try channeling some true energy into your divine bones and see if there's any reaction."

"Oh."

Chao Bufan followed the instructions and channeled some true energy into his divine bone, but the divine bone still showed no reaction. The true energy he channeled into it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

"No, there's no reaction at all."

"How could this be?" the old man muttered to himself.

Chao Bufan was also puzzled. If this was truly a divine bone with great spiritual power, why did it not react at all when he held it in his hand? After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have an idea and said, "Senior, I think I know what's going on."

Having said that, he held the divine bone across his chest, grasping one end with both hands and then wiping it towards the other. Wherever his palms touched, the divine bone was instantly stained crimson with blood. Immediately, a raging fire erupted from the divine bone, as it burst into flames. A vast aura carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth emanated from the divine bone, distorting the air and filling the air with a scorching smell.

Strangely, even though the divine bone was burning all over, he couldn't feel any scorching heat; instead, he felt a slight coolness when he touched it.

"So that's what happened!"

The old man's voice suddenly rang out. Chao Bufan smiled and examined the divine bone in his hand again. The divine bone, which had absorbed blood, seemed to have changed slightly. Its luster seemed to be whiter than before. He nodded in satisfaction and said with great affection, "Although it looks a bit ugly, it is still a good treasure."
