Chapter 1982: Trapped in a Siege

Over there, Song Yu and Zuo Mo also stopped.

The reason Zuo Mo chose to make a move was because he was certain that Song Yu's side was no match, with only him at the Fourth Heaven of True God.

But who would have thought that Ye Yuan, with just a single Seal of Life and Death, would actually suppress Feng Xiaotian.

This result was truly beyond his expectations.

Zuo Mo looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "We discovered this Celestial Venerable's remains first, and we also lured away the bone demons here. Yet you've taken it for yourselves. What is the meaning of this?"

Unable to win, he started to reason!

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You see it, so it's yours? Now I see you. If I want you to be my slave, will you agree?"

Pfft...

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zuo Mo's face turned ashen with anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Ye Yuan, don't be so arrogant! Do you really intend to fight to the bitter end?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Fight to the bitter end? That depends on whether you have the ability! If we really fight, who lives and who dies is still unknown! Besides, you're also here for that Qilin Emperor Bone, right? Let alone fighting to the death, if you get injured here in Bone Demon Ridge, I'd like to see how you'll seize that Emperor Bone."

Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian's expressions stiffened. They hadn't expected Ye Yuan to also be after the Emperor Bone.

This was trouble.

When the time came, there would inevitably be a fierce struggle.

Ye Yuan looked at Zuo Mo and the others with a half-smile and said, "Besides, by taking this Celestial Venerable's remains, I've also saved your lives. Otherwise, you, Zuo Mo... might not be Zuo Mo anymore."

Zuo Mo thought Ye Yuan was deliberately mocking him and said angrily, "Kid, don't be so smug!"

Song Yu, however, sneered, "Who's being smug? Ye Yuan didn't lie to you. This Celestial Venerable's remains are nothing but a trap. That Celestial Venerable sealed a wisp of his remnant soul inside the remains. If you refined them, that Celestial Venerable would come out to seize your body! Heh, you didn't get the remains—count yourself lucky."

Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian's expressions changed. Clearly, they hadn't expected such a thing.

But soon, Zuo Mo recovered and sneered, "If that's the case, why are you all fine?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "How could you fathom Brother Ye's methods?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Why bother telling them all this? Let's go."

With that, Ye Yuan led Song Yu and the others away directly.

Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian exchanged a glance but ultimately did not make a move.

As Ye Yuan had said, the Emperor Bone was the ultimate goal.

If they expended too much energy here, in the end, no one would get the Emperor Bone, and they might even endanger their lives.

...

The deeper they went into Bone Demon Ridge, the more heart-stopping the fluctuations became.

Along the way, Ye Yuan's group encountered many powerful bone demons and even suffered a siege from a group of them, but with the formidable strength of Ye Yuan and Song Yu, they always managed to turn danger into safety.

However, they also noticed that the deeper they went, the stronger the bone demons became.

These bone demons were very troublesome; their defenses were extremely powerful, comparable to the Sixth Revolution of the Golden Body.

Once entangled by a group of bone demons, even a mid-stage True God would have a hard time.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan, Song Yu, and the others were top-tier among their peers, so the journey was thrilling but without mishap.

"Brother Ye, I feel like something is controlling these bone demons," Song Yu suddenly said.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Even the Celestial Venerable's remains were so troublesome, let alone the Emperor Bone. I suspect that these bone demons might be controlled by the Emperor Bone."

Song Yu's expression changed slightly and said, "The bone demons we're encountering now are mostly at the First or Second Heaven of True God. If we go further, we might run into mid-stage True God bone demons!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "There's no helping it. We will definitely encounter mid-stage True God bone demons. What I'm worried about now is whether there will be late-stage True God or even Celestial Venerable-level bone demons. If so... that would be trouble!"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.

If there were Celestial Venerable-level bone demons, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape.

But no one knew for sure.

Rounding a stretch of jagged rocks, the view suddenly opened up.

Ye Yuan and the others' expressions changed abruptly, stunned by the scene before them.

On the flat ground ahead, countless bones were piled up haphazardly, forming a giant mountain.

At the top of the bone mountain, as far as the eye could see, a thick golden bone lay atop it.

The aura emanating from that bone made even Ye Yuan's heart tremble.

"This... how many strong warriors' remains were piled up to form this!" Song Yu said, his expression changing.

Even though they were all powerful figures in their own right, seeing such a spine-chilling and magnificent sight still left them somewhat shocked.

After all, those who died in the Ancient God Battlefield were at least Heavenly God realm warriors.

Among these bones, who knew how many were Heavenly Gods, how many were True Gods.

Or... how many were Celestial Venerables!

"Wait here. I'll go take a look," Ye Yuan said.

Song Yu's expression changed and he said, "No! It's too dangerous for you to go alone. We'll go together!"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. You stay here and back me up. If anything goes wrong, everyone run immediately without hesitation."

With that, Ye Yuan leaped and sped toward the bone mountain.

The Ancient God Battlefield was a very peculiar place; Ye Yuan's spatial translocation was completely unusable.

So he could only go on foot.

His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was only a few thousand zhang away from the bone mountain.

For Ye Yuan, who was at the Yuan Dan realm, this distance was merely a matter of an instant.

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

The Emperor Bone at the top of the mountain emitted a faint golden light.

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Countless bones rose from the ground, and in almost an instant, they formed an army of bone demons!

These bone demons were extremely powerful; the weakest were at the peak of the Heavenly God realm.

"Damn, it's a trap! That Emperor Bone was just waiting for someone to come!" Song Yu's face changed dramatically, and he was greatly alarmed.

But it was too late.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was right in the center of this open area; even if he wanted to run, he couldn't escape.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan was engulfed by the bone demon army.

This bone demon army was completely different from the previous battle spirit army; their strength was more than ten times greater.

After a brief observation, Song Yu spotted several mid-stage True God bone demons.

Such a lineup was almost despairing.

"Hahaha... I never expected! Truly unexpected! That kid actually rushed ahead and got trapped in the bone demon army. I'd like to see if he dies this time!"

Just then, a burst of laughter came from behind Song Yu. It was Zuo Mo and his group, who had just arrived.

Seeing Ye Yuan alone trapped in the bone demon army, he and Feng Xiaotian were overjoyed.
