"I never imagined that so many ancient and strange creatures would inhabit that cave. Luckily, we ran fast, or we would have been in real trouble..."

On the way to Treasure Sharing Cliff, Huo Ling'er held the golden egg in her arms, her face full of joy.

This divine fetus egg was an intelligence resource that her father obtained from others at great cost.

It is said that this egg contains an extremely rare ancient species.

If they can successfully hatch it, their Fire Kingdom will possess a powerful guardian beast.

Her most important task in entering the Hundred Broken Mountains Small World this time was to obtain this divine embryo egg.

Now that she had the egg, she finally felt relieved.

"A few dire wolves are nothing to be afraid of..."

Zhu Chen looked at the treasure map in his hand and said without turning his head.

Those dire wolves weren't very strong; they were just more numerous.

If he were willing to spend a little time, slaughtering all the dire wolves in that cave wouldn't be difficult, but it wasn't necessary.

After all, those ice wolves don't have any primordial treasure bones, so the time spent killing them is better spent traveling.

"You arrogant fool, it's always good to be careful when you're out and about."

Huo Ling'er rolled her eyes at Zhu Chen, annoyed.

She knew that Zhu Chen was very strong, but the Hundred Broken Mountains small world had a realm suppression, and even the most powerful people's cultivation would be suppressed to the Cave Heaven Realm.

Even if Zhu Chen possesses the ability to kill those of higher rank, he would likely find it difficult to use it here.
Zhu Chen smiled and was about to say something when Huo Ling'er suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, when we came out of that cave just now, I think I saw that big silly lion follow us into the cave. Could it also be after this divine embryo egg?"

"Who knows? Maybe!"

Zhu Chen shrugged indifferently.

The resources within the Hundred Broken Mountains are all unclaimed property to these outsiders; whoever seizes them gets to keep them.

They can't control where the nine-headed lions want to go or what resources they want to find.

"--boom!"

Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from a canyon not far away.

The sound was accompanied by two astonishing auras.

Zhu Chen and Huo Ling'er turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the place where the sound suddenly broke out was filled with smoke and dust, and the mountains were shaking, as if two extremely terrifying creatures were colliding fiercely there.

"It looks like there's a fight going on over there..."

Huo Ling'er said with a look of surprise.

"Let's go over and take a look first."

Zhu Chen made a hand seal and immediately controlled the Void Beast Skin to fly towards that canyon.

Where there's fighting, there's bound to be something good; that's an age-old truth.

A moment later, Zhu Chen rode the Void Beast Skin to the canyon.

The canyon was filled with a gloomy, corpse-like atmosphere, and huge skeletons were scattered everywhere, making it feel like a burial ground.

Zhu Chen removed the Void Beast Skin and landed with Huo Ling'er near a skeleton that resembled a mountain.

Next to the skeleton stood a stone tablet covered in cracks.

The four large characters 'Forbidden Zone of Heavenly Bones' are faintly visible on the stone tablet.

"I never expected we'd end up in this place."

Huo Ling'er looked around, her eyes filled with vigilance: "Baiduan Mountain is the place where ancient gods shed their blood. Legend has it that the skeletons in this forbidden area are those ancient gods who were buried here..."

"—Boom!"

Before Huo Ling'er could finish speaking, another loud noise came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a butterfly that blotted out the sky suddenly took flight, and with a flap of its wings, a monstrous burst of demonic flames swept out like a tsunami, engulfing the entire Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone.

But in the next second.

A young man dressed in white robes with gold patterns, with unparalleled grace, stepped into the air, treading on a Qilin, and stomped hard on the butterfly, instantly crushing its thousand-foot-tall form into nothingness.

"It's Shi Yi, the one with double pupils. I didn't expect his strength to have reached such a level. He even easily defeated the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly."

Huo Ling'er's pupils constricted. She subconsciously tugged at Zhu Chen's sleeve and whispered, "You killed so many people from the Heaven-Mending Sect last time, shouldn't we leave? It would be terrible if Shi Yi found out..."

"Okay." Zhu Chen nodded in response, then pulled Huo Ling'er along and walked forward.

Huo Ling'er was startled: "I told you to leave, why did you drag me out?"

Zhu Chen gazed at a skull directly in front of him that was emitting a faint glow and said, "That skull has a restrained divine light; it should contain some bone marrow fluid from an ancient being. Let's take it before we leave..."

Shi Yi had no interest in fighting the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly.

But the bone marrow fluid inside that skull should be good stuff.

Since he's already here, why shouldn't he take it?

Consider it payment for the detour!
"Who?"

Upon seeing someone emerge from behind the skeletons, Shi Yi and the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, who were engaged in fierce combat, immediately stopped fighting and looked over.

"You guys fight it out, I'll just take this and leave."

Zhu Chen casually replied, and then in a flash, he was in front of the skull.

"Trying to take advantage of the chaos?"

Shi Yi shook off the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, and in a flash, he appeared above Zhu Chen's head.

As he stepped down, a gigantic phantom of a Qilin roared out, charging towards Zhu Chen with overwhelming force.

"There's no need to embarrass yourself by showing off the incomplete Ten Fierce Techniques..."

Zhu Chen casually threw a punch, shattering the phantom of the Qilin.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the skull, throwing it into his cave in front of Shi Yi and the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly.

"court death!"

Shi Yi gathered all his magical power and continued to take the Qilin Step.

With each step he took, he shattered the void and stirred mountains and rivers, as if the entire world was under his feet, his aura overwhelming.

Shi Yi took several steps down, tearing apart the sky around Zhu Chen.

"Those with double pupils don't use double pupils? Are you looking down on me?"

Zhu Chen used a gentle force to send Huo Ling'er onto the Void Beast Skin. Then, his figure instantly transformed into a stream of light, breaking through layers of cracks and arriving directly in front of Shi Yi.

The imposing power of Shi Yi's Qilin Step, which he had gathered through several steps, was completely ineffective in front of him.

"how is this possible?"

Shi Yi opened his eyes and almost instinctively wanted to use the power of his double pupils.

However, Zhu Chen did not give him that chance.

He grabbed Shi Yi by the neck with one hand and slammed his fist into the other's stomach with the other.

He didn't use much force in that punch, but it still managed to knock bile out of Shi Yi's stomach.

Shi Yi felt as if all the muscles and bones in his body had been shattered, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

He rolled his eyes, wanting to unleash the ancient double pupil technique.

But Zhu Chen slapped him across the face first.

"Ancient double pupils? An invincible myth? I think it's nothing special..."

"--Snapped!"

As Zhu Chen spoke, he kept slapping the other person's face.

Just as Shi Yi was about to roll his double pupils, he was slapped back.

How dare you insult me?

Shi Yi's head was about to explode.

He never expected that a random human youth from Hundred Broken Mountains could possess such terrifying strength.

If he had known the other party was so powerful, he wouldn't have used the single-leg Qilin Step to probe earlier; he could have just activated his double pupils directly.

Now, he's been captured by the other party, and his cultivation seems to be imprisoned, unable to even use his double pupils.
