The bronze path was quiet and deep. It was unknown where it led to.
The bronze steps paved the ground. Elemental Spirit Arrays wreaked havoc outside, but it was calm inside. Coupled with the greedy barking of the spiritual snow hound, Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang looked at each other. Without any hesitation, they entered the bronze path. Just as they entered, the elemental Spirit Array swept over and sealed the entrance of the bronze path.
If not for the spiritual snow hound, Long Chen might not have been able to discover the bronze path in such a complicated place.
On the bronze steps, there were reliefs from the Primordial Era. There were many pictures of the Primordial Era's ancestors fighting against the giant Demonic Beasts. Although the outside had been sealed by the soil, the bronze walls still flickered with a faint light, giving Long Chen the feeling that he was in the starry sky.
"It seems like someone has been here before."
After walking down the bronze steps for about thirty seconds, Long Chen came to this conclusion.
There were indeed traces of living people walking on the steps and walls.
"Doesn't that mean that it must have been emptied? There's nothing left?"
Mo Xiaolang looked curiously at the deep underground.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. The Divine Wilderness has existed for so long. For tens of millions of years, people have walked every inch of it. That's normal. From the traces, the last person who barged in here might have been hundreds of thousands of years ago. The terrain of the Divine Wilderness is constantly changing, so it might not be impossible. Most importantly, this little guy's eyes …"
Long Chen carried the spiritual snow hound. At this moment, the spiritual snow hound's eyes were wide open as it looked excitedly at the depths of the bronze path. It wished it could leave Long Chen's embrace and run down first.
The two continued going deeper.
There was an end to the bronze path. After walking for about half an hour, they reached the end of the bronze steps. In front of them was a dilapidated underground palace. It was very large, and it used to be very prosperous. However, it had sunk underground, and after years of corrosion and destruction by later generations, it was no longer what it used to be. In other words, it was impossible to tell what it used to be.
However, the carvings of the ancient ancestors fighting against the Demon Clan were still clearly visible on the ancient wall.
"From these reliefs and the eyes of the ancient ancestors, I can see that the human race and the demon race are indeed mortal enemies, since ancient times until now …"
Mo Xiaolang touched these reliefs and said in shock.
"Don't forget, you were originally a human too," Long Chen said.
"Yes."
Of course, Mo Xiaolang hadn't forgotten. It was just that it had been too long, and he had already gotten used to his identity.
Shuttling through the dilapidated underground palace, the underground palace was very big. One could imagine that this was once a glorious holy land.
Long Chen followed the direction of the Spiritual Snow Hound.
"Looks like a lot of people came in later and almost emptied this underground palace," Mo Xiaolang said as he walked.
In the depths of the path ahead, a small door suddenly appeared. There were many talismans on the door. Although it had tens of millions of years of history, they were still flashing.
"Stop."
Long Chen stretched out his hand and stopped Mo Xiaolang's advance.
Walking through this underground palace had been very quiet. But at this moment, Long Chen felt a sense of danger. Indeed, just as he stopped in his tracks, there was movement in front of him.
There seemed to be a mechanism in the dark wall. A bronze brick extended out, and on the brick, there were more than ten ancient green beans.
"It's better to be cautious."
Long Chen let Mo Xiaolang and the Spiritual Snow Hound enter the god kingdom, while he entered the river of time himself. In the form of a time dragon, he welcomed the sudden challenge of this underground palace.
More than a dozen green beans fell to the ground with a clatter.
Suddenly, a green smoke rose, and in front of Long Chen's eyes, those beans turned into more than ten two to three meters tall green soldiers. They were clad in black armor and wielded Divine Weapons. All of them had fierce faces and bloodthirsty eyes.
This must be the so-called soldiers formed from beans.
They must have been preserved for tens of millions of years. However, after experiencing the erosion of time, these soldiers formed from green beans had long lost their original divine might. Their power had weakened to the extreme. But even so, these dozen green bean soldiers still posed a great threat to Long Chen.
Every soldier had the combat strength of a ninth level Nirvana Tribulation realm expert.
In this narrow space, if Long Chen didn't have the time dragon, he would definitely have to fight for a long time to deal with these soldiers. After all, the soldiers formed from beans were very magical.
In the case of the time dragon, the green bean soldiers lost their target.
They were all puppets and didn't really have consciousness. After not sensing the existence of the intruder, they looked around in a daze. After a long time, they didn't move at all. They turned back into green beans and returned to their walls. It could be said that Long Chen had dealt with them effortlessly.
The direction indicated by the spiritual snow hound was through the small door in the wall ahead.
At that moment, Long Chen didn't hesitate and rushed into the small door. Inside was another palace, but it was very small and clear at a glance. This place seemed to have suffered from a battle. There were scars everywhere, and it was obvious that many people had been here.
But why did the spiritual snow hound make him come here?
Long Chen wandered around the palace, but he realized that it was empty.
This puzzled him, so he made a prompt decision and let the spiritual snow hound come out. He placed it on the ground and let it search for it itself.
Even if many people have been here, they must have left behind something important that isn't easy to discover …
Long Chen firmly believed that this was his intuition.
The snow-white spiritual snow hound's eyes widened, and it twisted its little butt as it wandered around the palace. From time to time, it turned back to look at Long Chen pitifully. Finally, it stopped in front of a palm-sized stone. It circled around the black stone and looked at Long Chen like it was presenting a treasure.
"This is it?" Long Chen was a little shocked. He suspected that the spiritual snow hound's brain had rusted. How could this be a good thing?
He picked up the black stone. There was nothing unusual about it. It was a very ordinary stone, but the material was rather hard. However, it was indeed strange that there was a stone that no one cared about in this underground palace.
"Go back first. I'll think about it."
Long Chen looked at the black stone in his hand suspiciously. He realized that the only special thing about it was that it was rather hard. He gradually increased his strength until he used all his strength, but he still couldn't crush the stone. One had to know that Long Chen could almost crush a Dao artifact with more than 30 Dao patterns. His physical body had already grown to a very shocking level.
Ding.
He took out the God-Slaying Sword.
"Prodigal, don't use the God-Slaying Sword."
The kitten stretched its body and said leisurely.
But he was fine. While Long Chen and the rest were struggling with life and death, he slept from morning to night as if nothing had happened …
"Tell me, what is this and what should we do."
Kitten came out of the God Nation and took the black stone. He looked it up and down and said in surprise, "This is … a piece of God's Bone. A small part of God's Bone, from a real God."
"Mm." Long Chen had a feeling that Kitten was tricking him. This stone was the bone of a God.
"Mm, yes. It's a very small part of the entire God's Bone. Its nature … is similar to the Fire Phoenix Feather, but the benefits are definitely greater. Although this piece of God's Bone is very small, you've picked up a treasure to be able to get it. Obviously, countless people have come to this underground palace."
He laughed without a care in the world.
The God's Bone appeared in this underground palace. If it was just a small piece, then where were the other parts? If the God's Bone appeared, then where were the God's Bone?
A series of questions appeared.
Long Chen shook off these useless worries and asked, "How do I use it?"
Kitten rolled his eyes at him and said, "The God-Slaying Flame. Do you think it's just a random name? That is … a flame that can refine God's Spirit. You've had it for so long, but you don't know the most terrifying nature of the God-Slaying Flame. You're really a prodigal guarding a treasure."
"Is that so."
Long Chen really didn't know that the true use of the God-Slaying Flame was actually this.
"In other words, Xiao Lang can devour the Heavenly Fire, but I can use the God-Slaying Flame to refine the relics of God's Spirit and strengthen myself."
"Of course." The kitten gave a very annoying smile and swaggered back to sleep.
"Big Brother, Big Sister Lingxi is still in a deep sleep. I'll protect her for you." Mo Xiaolang was the least talkative.
"Sure."
Long Chen wanted to see if this was the real God's Bone and if the God-Slaying Flame could really refine God's Spirit.
Mo Xiaolang stood by the side and set up a layer of Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame. He stood in the middle of the flames and gave the space to Long Chen.
"Strength is the basis of whether I can escape or not. I'm still far from being Su Mu Chen's opponent. I'm too weak. Xiao Lang also asked the Demon Clan's Vixen to do something to me. So I need strength …"
This was one of the times when Long Chen craved strength the most.
He silently placed the God's Bone in his palm and looked at it with a blazing gaze. Then, he hugged the God's Bone with both of his hands and gently activated the God-Slaying Flame.
The God-Slaying Flame burned on his hand and covered the God's Bone.
Perhaps it was because Long Chen didn't use it much, but there was no movement in the beginning.
An hour later, Long Chen thought that Kitten was playing with him. But at this moment, he felt that the outermost layer of the God's Bone had started to melt.
If it hadn't melted, who would know that this ordinary stone was actually a good item?
Long Chen's eyes lit up. He gradually felt an unprecedented power from the God's Bone that even surpassed the Fiery Phoenix Feather.
When the black substance dissipated, half a finger bone, probably a small part of a pinky finger, appeared in Long Chen's hand.
Although he was using the God-Slaying Flame, Long Chen still felt his hands burning when he held the God's Bone.
