Xu Taiping forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and that indescribable feeling of palpitations, and carefully examined this ominous thing.
It could be seen that the left half of the face of this ominous thing was a silver-white skull covered with fine cracks. A golden eyeball was suspended in the empty eye socket. Among the translucent hair, there was actually a hint of immortal charm and radiance.
This appearance was extremely similar to the skeletons of those heavenly soldiers and generals he had encountered in the South Heaven Gate Ruins before.
However, the right half of this ominous thing’s head.
It was completely different from the heavenly soldier skeletons he had seen back then.
His right half of the head was a constantly pulsating dark red sarcoma, with green tendons and blood vessels all over the surface.
Its eyeball was more like a blood-colored spirit crystal.
And when its pupil, which was like a blood-colored spirit crystal, contracted, even more red smoke flowed out from it.
Its mouth, the lower jaw was completely shattered, and in its place was a mass of black fog with a dim light.
From that black fog, hundreds of sharp teeth could be faintly seen.
When seeing this, Xu Taiping murmured：
“Why is the right half of the head of this ominous thing so similar to the extraterritorial evil demon I saw on Lingjiu Peak？”
While having such doubts, his gaze fell on the monster’s torso.
The monster’s torso.
It was almost the same as the heavenly soldier skeleton he had seen in the South Heaven Gate Ruins back then. The only difference was that its ribs had turned charred black, and there was a red magic eye with a diameter of three feet suspended in the chest cavity.
Looking closely, in the pupil of this magic eye, there were actually nine blood-colored vortices.
Constantly, blood-red mist flew out from those nine blood-red vortices, gradually wrapping the trunk of this ominous thing.
Obviously, this was the red glow they had seen before.
And just at this moment, the ominous thing was holding the still breathing Xuan Lei Venerable in one hand and raising the other hand high.
“Boom！ ……”
Almost at the moment it raised its hand, hundreds of small barbed tentacles actually flew out from the gaps between its spinal vertebrae joints at the same time.
Like a huge net, it enveloped the area within dozens of miles with the immortal boat where Xu Taiping and the others were located below.
However, when those barbed tentacles shot towards the immortal boat, they seemed to have escaped into the void and disappeared directly.
Xu Taiping looked back.
He found that those tentacles actually emerged again from the end of the immortal boat and stabbed straight into the darkness deep space behind.
Just as Xu Taiping had a look of surprise on his face, the Tian Shou Great Sage, who had been silent all along beside him, suddenly said：
“It seems that the Heavenly Escape Talisman can also resist the means of these filthy bones.”
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and he asked：
“Elder Ding, this ominous thing is called filthy bones？”
The Tian Shou Great Sage nodded slightly and said：
“This foul bone was born from the fusion of the celestial evil spirit possessing a chaotic monster and the bones of an immortal.”
Xu Taiping said in astonishment：
“Doesn’t that mean that this foul bone has the power of the celestial evil spirit, the chaotic monster, and the remains of the immortal at the same time？”
The Heavenly Hunt Great Sage nodded and then explained：
“Actually, even if any two of these three things are fused, they won’t survive for more than half an hour. Only when they are fused simultaneously will this terrifying foul bone be born.”
At this time, Mo Qingzhu also said with a pale face：
“I heard that even the lowest-ranked chaotic monster, as long as it is fused with the celestial evil spirit and the remains of the immortal to form a foul bone, its killing power will not be weaker than that of a heart-phase-level monster.”
The Heavenly Hunt Great Sage nodded and then frowned and said：
“And the foul bones fused by the heart-phase and sin-level chaotic monsters have combat power close to that of the celestial-phenomenon-level dao-corroding monsters.”
Having said this, the Heavenly Hunt Great Sage took a deep breath and said：
“The most terrifying thing is that, unlike the chaotic monsters, these foul bones have an almost crazy desire for the flesh and blood of cultivators. After tasting the flesh and blood of cultivators, they will try every means to search for human cultivators everywhere.”
As he spoke, only the sound of “clicking” chewing was heard, suddenly coming from the front.
Everyone looked up.
I saw that the filthy bone was actually devouring the Venerable Xuan Lei alive.
And the Venerable Xuan Lei, as if knowing that the few people were using the Heavenly Escape Talisman, while enduring the severe pain of being devoured alive, once again reminded：
“Don’t worry, this filthy bone… can’t break your Heavenly Escape Talisman, and it also has no spiritual wisdom, only knows how to kill.”
“Moreover, after it eats me, it needs some time to digest my flesh and blood and fuse my divine soul.”
“Therefore… therefore it must… must find a place to hide.”
“By then… uh… by then… you can… can leave！”
Hearing this, and looking at the tragic situation of the Venerable Xuan Lei at the moment, Xu Taiping took a deep breath, and then turned to look at the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint beside him and said：
“Elder Ding, is this so？”
The Heavenly Hunt Great Saint nodded and said：
“Indeed so.”
He added：
“And the reason why he asked us to leave immediately and then inform the cultivation world to block this Ziwei Star Region is also because of this.”
“Because this filthy bone, once it can’t eat the flesh and blood of the cultivator for a long time, its combat power will gradually decline.”
“Finally, it will completely fall into a deep sleep.”
Xu Taiping slightly nodded, and once again looked forward at the tragic scene with a complex expression, and then asked the Heavenly Hunt Great Saint without looking back：
“Elder Ding, can he be saved？”
Heavenly Hunt Great Saint was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then asked with a smile without looking back：
“Why save him？”
Xu Taiping pondered for a moment and then replied：
“We need more information to determine whether to continue to the Yaochi Holy Land.”
As he spoke, he touched the lotus pupil in his left eye and continued：
“I have a supernatural power. As long as I can touch Venerable Xuanlei, even if it’s a corpse, I can know what exactly is happening in the world of Kaiyuan Tian at this moment.”
Heavenly Hunt Great Saint nodded and said：
“That’s a good reason.”
As he was speaking, amidst the “clicking” sound of bones breaking, Venerable Xuanlei spoke again：
Everyone, don’t forget what I said before. Be sure to make the cultivation world block this Ziwei Star Region.
“As long as it is to block for a hundred years or so, these… these… uh… these filthy bones will all fall asleep!
“An… an… another thing, I may… may ask you all for help because of fear of life and death…”
“But… but please don’t be soft-hearted！ Don’t be soft-hearted！ Otherwise… otherwise… I will be the… sinner of the human cultivation world！”
Listening to Venerable Xuanlei’s somewhat incoherent words, Heavenly Hunt Great Saint suddenly asked Xu Taiping again without looking back：
“Is there a second reason？”
Xu Taiping took a deep breath, and then his eyes turned cold as he said：
“Those who carry firewood for the multitude should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow！”
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Hunt Saint suddenly grinned and let out a “hey” laugh, and then his eyes fixed on the Mysterious Thunder Venerable who was being eaten alive and said：
“This reason is better than the previous one！”
