The bone joint felt heavy in his grasp, suggesting either its substantial weight or an extrely dense makeup.
Ye Feng couldn't help but feel curious; what species did this bone belong to? After all, even with his flesh body greatly enhanced by the practice of the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints, every aspect of his physical form, from bones to muscles and beyond, had undergone qualitative changes.
However, Ye Feng knew that under similar conditions, his own bones were nowhere near as formidable as this bone joint, neither in mass nor in density. In other words, the owner of this bone joint must have had a terrifyingly powerful flesh body.
Even more so, Ye Feng speculated that if the owner of this bone joint were still alive, they might crush any Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm with sheer physical strength; they could even explode a being of the Peak Realm with a single punch.
This was, undoubtedly, the remains of a bone joint from a high-level species!
"It seems that Alien Space-Ti might host other, even more powerful species," Ye Feng inwardly exclaid.
But presently, there was no ti to thoroughly explore the origins of this bone joint or the inscriptions etched upon it. Ye Feng tossed it into his storage ring.
The two continued to make their way deeper, quickly passing through the narrow neck of the second segnt of the gourd and into the largest and innermost belly of it.
The scenery suddenly opened up before them, revealing peaks that soared into the clouds like Sharp Swords; however, these mountains were bare, without any vegetation, and many were broken. The earth was cracked and pitted, and even the occasional spatial rift was present.
Bones lay haphazardly on the ground; due to the passage of ti, most were heavily damaged, with only a few remaining relatively intact.
Here, the grey mist mingled with the miasma was even denser than outside, and of course, far more dangerous.
This was the deep inner region of Sky Burial Valley.
However, upon arriving here, Ye Feng suddenly felt an odd sensation, as if sothing deeper within was calling out to him.
"This sense of summoning again; could it be sothing left behind here by an Emperor from over two thousand years ago?" Ye Feng pondered.
He followed this strange calling with a sensation, and then suddenly looked up, fixing his gaze on a pair of huge, faintly visible mountain ranges ahead.
These two peaks were the tallest of Sky Burial Valley. The summit of the one on the left had been sheared off, while the right one had been cleaved in half, giving them a disjointedly bizarre appearance.
Ye Feng realized that if sothing was indeed calling out to him, it had to be between these two mountains!
Of course, he could also tell that these massive peaks had been altered with incredible strength not even he currently possessed, to shear away mountaintops and cleave them in half. This level of power was sothing only legendary Great Powers could achieve.
In other words, the ultimate battlefield of that epic war from over two thousand years ago where the Sovereign of the Human Race and the strongest of the Demon Horn Tribe who entered the Human Realm fought was right atop these two mountains.
"Qingyan, let's go over there!" Ye Feng pointed to the two highest peaks, then took Hong Qingyan's hand and soared towards them.
Hong Qingyan naturally had no objections. Indeed, after reaching this point, the miasma was even more potent, and the grey-white mist had intensified to choking levels; she had to focus all her efforts to prevent its invasion into her body.
Here, any Golden Core Realm cultivator faced peril at any mont, and even Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm dared not take the situation lightly anymore.
It was only then that Ye Feng realized the miasma he had encountered in the Central Region of Earth was actually quite thin and weak; otherwise, he and Zhang Wenyuan would not have been able to venture deep into it.
Now, however, Ye Feng did not fear the miasma or grey-white mist of Sky Burial Valley, for he was protected by the Emperor Sovereign armor, impervious to the miasma.
Because of Hong Qingyan, however, Ye Feng had to slow down their pace. They hadn't gone far before encountering another group of people.
"Big Brother Ye, it's Feiyu and Old Man Huang Niu up ahead. They seem to be in trouble," Hong Qingyan called out as soon as she recognized the individuals ahead.
Ye Feng nodded slightly, his brow furrowing.
At that mont, Old Man Huang Niu, Yu Feiyu, and several other Yin-Yang Realm powerhouses from the Northwest Little Mountain Village were huddled together, pressed against the foot of a huge boulder.
Swathes of pitch-black wraiths were frenziedly attacking them.
To Ye Feng's shock, at the center of these black wraiths floated a black-and-red humanoid form of gas. Although gaseous in nature, it was nearly substantialized, even forming facial features of the Human Race, twisting into a ferociously grim expression, full of eerieness, as if it had an insatiable desire to devour Yu Feiyu and the rest.
It was clear that this humanoid gas form was extrely fearso and formidable, commanding the thick wraiths surrounding it to continuously assail the group under Old Man Huang Niu's lead.
"Is this... the legendary wraith?" Ye Feng exclaid, his expression extrely grave.
Indeed, where there is a trendous amount of evil energy, wraiths often arise, and though these wraiths may lack much spiritual wisdom, they are inevitably ford from the soul consciousness of a powerful great being, corrupted by a heavy burden of resentnt and spite after death.
What's even more terrifying is that after such a long ti absorbing the negative energy and resentnt around it, the strength of this wraith has reached an incredibly fearso level, so much so that even the mightiest at the peak realm would hesitate to confront such a being.
At that very mont, the wraith was fiercely rallying streams of resentnt, ceaselessly launching attacks at Yu Feiyu and the others.
Luckily, Old Man Huang Niu was exceptional and possessed a rather powerful defensive magic treasure; otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand the assault of such copious resentnt.
Even so, the yellow energy shield that was protecting Yu Feiyu and the rest of the Northwest Little Mountain Village's villagers wouldn't last much longer.
Old Man Huang Niu's hands moved continuously, forming Dharma Seals, while the spirit essence within his body surged out in an effort to maintain the shield, but under the relentless assault of uncountable resentful spirits, the light of the yellow energy barrier continued to dim.
It was clear to see that once this energy shield shattered, save for Old Man Huang Niu himself, it was doubtful that anyone present could withstand the vast amount of resentnt. And what was even more daunting was the presence of a wraith looming overhead.
The situation was urgent, and seeing this, Ye Feng imdiately instructed, "Qingyan, move to the side, and if you see the resentnt coming at you, don't hesitate to activate the Heart-Protecting Mirror, understand?"
"I understand, Big Brother Ye, but you aren't thinking of going over there to help, are you? There's so much resentnt, and there's even a wraith," Hong Qingyan naturally knew the dire situation facing Yu Feiyu's group, but she was more concerned about Ye Feng.
Ye Feng replied gravely, "They won't last much longer, I have to help them!"
In fact, Ye Feng was not afraid of the resentnt, for his spirit nucleus was quite powerful, and he had the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll as his trump card. However, the sheer number of resentnts and the presence of a wraith made it an overwhelming challenge, even for him. But since both Yu Feiyu and Old Man Huang Niu were of great importance to him, he had no choice but to take the risk.
Just then, the blood-red wraith hovering midair had evidently lost its patience, and suddenly its resentnt surged wildly, the dense miasma rushing directly towards the yellow energy barrier below.
"Qingyan, take good care of yourself!"
Ye Feng's gaze sharpened and he imdiately dashed forward.
"Ah, it's Big Brother Ye, Big Brother Ye has co!" Yu Feiyu couldn't help but rejoice upon recognizing the figure that swept across the sky.
Old Man Huang Niu's expression, however, sank completely, and he clenched his teeth and said, "This is bad, why did the Lord Leader co here? It's too dangerous, he shouldn't have co for our sake!"
Yu Feiyu was initially very happy, but upon hearing her master's words, her face instantly showed deep worry. "Then, what do we do, Master? Big Brother Ye won't be in danger, will he?"
Another great power from the Northwest Little Mountain Village at the Yin-Yang Realm couldn't help but bitterly smile, "Of course it's dangerous. The resentnt alone is already enough to cause us a headache, not to ntion the wraith above us!"
"So Big Brother Ye is definitely in danger? Master, please think of sothing, save Big Brother Ye!" Yu Feiyu was frantic. If she had to choose, she would rather die under the wrathful spirits than see Ye Feng in danger.
Old Man Huang Niu chuckled sarcastically, "You girl, you get so anxious when you see your sweetheart in danger? You want to find a way to save your Big Brother Ye, but does that an the other villagers are not important?"
"Master, at a ti like this you're still teasing ? Just think of a way to save us all," Yu Feiyu replied, exasperated.
Old Man Huang Niu shook his head, "I don't have a better idea right now. If the Lord Leader can't hold on, I will withdraw the energy shield, then you all scatter and flee. Whether you can escape will be up to fate. As for the new Lord Leader, we absolutely cannot let anything happen to him. Does everyone understand?"
"Understood!" Over a dozen villagers nodded. Despite the grave danger, there was no fear on any faces, and no one showed a hint of fearing or shrinking back.
They were the people of the Northwest, the true guardians of the human race!
What was completely unexpected to everyone was that upon arriving, Ye Feng did not release any energy barriers to resist, nor did he use any techniques to attack the resentnt.
After sweeping in, Ye Feng stood still, allowing the resentnt to swiftly enter his body.
Yu Feiyu's face changed dramatically, and she couldn't help but shout, "What is Big Brother Ye doing? He's neither defending nor attacking, and he's allowing the resentnt to invade his body; isn't that very dangerous?"
At that mont, not only the dozen or so Northwest people, but also Old Man Huang Niu's expression beca extrely grave.
"What exactly does the Lord Leader intend to do?"
