Chapter 1517: Chapter 1516: Beast King of Hundreds of Millions of Years, the Zhao Family’s Despair

The sharp scream came from the abyss near the fortress, sounding distant and haunting, with echoes that resounded across the sky.

All the cultivators set out one after another.

The nearby patrolling cultivators also immediately headed to the fortress to gather, while the weaker ones hid!

Twenty cultivators flew up into the sky, emerging from the fortress and heading towards the direction of the abyss.

But when they arrived near the abyss, they were shocked by the scene before them.

Above the abyss, a giant bone dragon soared upward.

Yes, purely bones.

Its entire body was supported by a skeleton, surrounded by a faint glow.

Evidently, it had absorbed enough Heaven and Earth Essence.

Nurtured by Heaven and Earth Essence over a long time, it had actually resurrected.

Seeing that bone dragon...

Everyone frowned deeply.

Because none of them recognized it.

When they took out scientific instruments to detect the age, they found the instruments indicated: Unknown creature.

This was awkward.

"What the hell is this?"

Everyone stared at the bone dragon with faces full of fright, not recognizing it, but feeling a pressure from the aura emitted by the bone dragon.

Its strength was not to be underestimated.

"It’s just a skeleton, without a fierce beast core, should we kill it or not?"

"Yeah, without a fierce beast core, why provoke it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement; their purpose for coming here was to seize a core, and this skeleton, without flesh and blood, how could it have a core?

Just as they were about to give up.

The bone dragon’s mouth, snapping shut...

Blood flowed from the gaps between its rows of teeth.

A person’s body protruded halfway.

The head, staring with eyes wide open, emerged.

No aura left, long dead.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Brother!!"

One cultivator shouted in horror, the dead person was his brother, whom he had sent to investigate.

Other cultivators exchanged looks.

Everyone present had a cultivation level no lower than the Heaven Stepping Realm.

The bone dragon could easily kill those at the Heaven Stepping Realm, definitely not an ordinary fierce beast.

This was the first time they witnessed such a bizarre situation, having no flesh, heart, or anything, yet resurrecting solely with bones, this was... unbelievably strange.

"Look quickly! The bone dragon is actually growing flesh!"

Everyone looked over.

At the place where the bone dragon’s mouth was, a bit of flesh had grown.

Very conspicuous.

"How is this possible?"

"The bone dragon couldn’t have eaten human cultivators and absorbed their flesh and blood to grow itself, could it?"

"It must be so!"

One person shouted loudly, "Hurry up and decide, whether to kill it or retreat quickly!"

"Let’s retreat! Without a core, there’s no point in killing it!"

"I agree!"

Everyone was about to prepare to retreat.

The cultivator who had lost a brother roared, "You retreat, I must kill... I must avenge my brother!"

The cultivator rushed forward.

Whizz!

Right at that critical moment, everyone exclaimed in shock.

They all looked over.

Suddenly.

The bone dragon gently raised its head and breathed out a dragon’s breath.

Whoosh!

It was like an ice ball, directly hitting that cultivator.

Then, the ice ball flew back, entering the bone dragon’s mouth.

The upper and lower teeth came together!

Crunch!

"....."

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

A Heaven Stepping Realm cultivator was just swallowed by the bone dragon with one bite!

This... how can this be?

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The bone dragon grew a bit more flesh.

At this moment. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The bone dragon flapped its wings and flew toward the cultivators.

Its mouth opened, and another ice ball appeared.

Suspended in the mouth, it rotated at an extreme speed.

"This isn’t good! Run quickly!"

"Oh my... I remember now... damn it, this is more than a hundred million years old dinosaur!"

"Dinosaur? Fossil? A fossil resurrected?"

"This is a creature that ruled Earth for hundreds of millions of years? This... oh my god—"

Human modern science has only simulated their appearance from dinosaur fossils, but existing evidence can neither prove how they went extinct nor show how intelligent they were.

Humans only evolved over several million years, from primates to today’s highly technology-savvy and intelligent beings. Moreover, dinosaurs ruled Earth for hundreds of millions of years, so who can prove dinosaurs were stupider than humans?

This...

Destroyed their worldview.

Meanwhile, the ice ball came hurtling.

Whoosh!

Boom boom boom!

In one burst, it penetrated three people!

The three were sent flying into the bone dragon’s mouth.

In a moment.

The flesh on the bone dragon’s body grew to nearly half!

"No way, this strong! It can devour the primordial Qi of cultivators to grow flesh! Run quickly!"

The entire fortress instantly vanished into ashes.

In the blink of an eye.

Of the twenty cultivators, only half were left...

Meanwhile, the flesh on the bone dragon had taken on a general silhouette.

The skin was as rough and sturdy as rocks on a mountain.

"We’re finished! It’s too strong, we can’t escape..."

Everyone cast their eyes on the leading primordial immortal.

"What do we do?"

"Old Qu, quickly think of a solution!"

At this moment, Old Qu couldn’t care less about them.

Even though he was a primordial immortal, facing a mega-level fierce beast, which even controlled such elemental attacks and absorbed a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Essence, he dared not risk a fight.

No core to fight for.

Old Qu said in a deep voice, "You endure, I’ll go get reinforcements!"

And flew away.

Everyone was in uproar; he was escaping!

What reinforcements? Clearly an excuse! But, who would argue with a primordial immortal, even at the initial stage, escaping was surely feasible.

Just as everyone felt a wave of despair——

A sword light appeared in the sky!

Swish!

The sword light flashed in from the west, just grazing Old Qu’s body.

Immediately, the sword light landed on the bone dragon.

Crack——

With a scream, the bone dragon was sliced into two by the sword light!

Everyone looked at each other in horror, then up.

In the horizon, a young man approached with hands behind his back.

A long sword radiating dazzling seven-colored light, showcasing its formidable power.

Who else would possess such a divine artifact?

Only Emperor Yu.

"Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain!"

"Emperor Yu is here!"

The remaining ten or so cultivators bowed simultaneously!

"Greetings, Emperor Yu!"

With a flicker, Fang Yu appeared before them, his expression indifferent, "Those who flee in battle! Execute immediately!"

This warning frightened them.

Damn... that sword not only split a dinosaur that existed for billions of years, it also killed Old Qu, the primordial immortal.

Such terrifying cultivation.

At this moment, the bone dragon fell!

Covered in mangled flesh!

Oddly, the flesh, lacking support from the Bone Dragon Essence, became wind-blown by the air, like sand being blown away, the flesh floated up, gradually dissipating.

Ding——

A sparkling core fell to the ground, gleaming brilliantly!

"A billion-year-old fierce beast core!"

The ten or so cultivators widened their eyes, filled with anticipation and excitement!

More so, shock!
