Chapter 201: Golden Needle
"Let"s go take a look." Ye Xiao said to Lin Hao and the two of them then went to the corpse and observed it from a close distance.
A terrifying pressure was suddenly emitted from the enormous skeleton the moment they approached it, and a strange aura spread. The pressure made Ye Xiao and Lin Hao clench their fists. They had no choice but to endure this.
Swoosh!
Few other figures also instantly descended. They all were above the Fourth Stage of the Martial King Realm. All of them looked at the remains of the skeleton with curiosity. Shock could be seen in their eyes as clear as water.
Ye Xiao"s expression did not change as he walked closer to the corpse. The intense pressure fell on his body as he walked forward.
He walked quickly to the side of the giant skeleton with a calm gaze and swept his gaze across every inch of the skeleton.
The light in Ye Xiao"s eyes wavered slightly. This skeleton must be extraordinary to be able to cause such pressure. His curiosity grew even stronger toward this skeleton.
Ye Xiao was not the only one who walked toward the skeleton. Lin Hao was also with him.
"These two brats are not simple."
Some of the geniuses that were over thirty meters away gasped in astonishment. Even they did not dare to approach this skeleton too closely because of the pressure emitted by the skeleton but Ye Xiao and Lin Hao dared to move.
As Ye Xiao and Lin Hao got closer to the skeleton, every step they took became heavier and heavier. Their fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard and their bones were constantly emitting popping sounds.
However, this did not affect their pace in the slightest. They gritted their teeth, endured all the pain, and continue to move toward the skeleton.
After a moment, both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao arrived at the sunken area where a large corpse was displayed. They started to observe it carefully.
Roar~
That aggrieved roar came out from the skeleton once again. When Ye Xiao was close to the skeleton"s head while observing it carefully, a cold Qi spread out, causing his hair to stand.
Exactly at this time, an even more terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire land.
Roar~
Although the roars were low in volume, they were still rather ear-piercing to the ears of the crowd. All of them immediately frowned. This sound was both repulsive and intimidating.
Ye Xiao resisted the pressure while calming his heart. He continued to observe the skeleton.
"Hmph! I don"t want to stay here any longer. There is a flash of silver light in front of us. It must be some treasure that has appeared. Let me go and take a look!"
A young man who was observing the skeleton, Ye Xiao and Lin Hao from the side saw a silver light flashing at a different place. After saying that he was leaving, he moved like a gust of wind.
Afterward, the remaining few onlookers glanced at Ye Xiao and Lin Hao indifferently and then left one after another. Only the two of them were left here.
Ye Xiao and Lin Hao did not care about those people. They felt something wrong with this skeleton here so they continue to observe it closely.
"What is that?"
Suddenly Lin Hao"s gaze fell upon a golden-coloured metal at the back of the head of that skeleton. Ye Xiao also looked at the golden metal and shook his head, indicating that he did not know what that thing was.
"Let"s lift this skeleton and see what this thing is?" Lin Hao suggested while looking at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao started to think and after a few moments, he said, "Would there be any danger?"
"Danger is meant to follow you if your aim is to become the stronger. I don"t know if there is any danger or not but if there is, I am not afraid. I will face that danger head-on!"
Lin Hao said with a determined face seeing which, Ye Xiao was also affected.
"This kid is not bad. He is much better than you!" The Voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon echoed in Ye Xiao"s mind at this moment.
Ye Xiao looked at Lin Hao deeply for a moment then he took a long breath and said, "You are right! Let"s do it!"
Both of them held both sides of the skeleton"s waist and started to lift it.
"Hiss?"
Suddenly, a wave of ice-cold intent seeped into their heart, causing them to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air. Suddenly, both of them felt a ma.s.sive gravitational force pressuring them
"Ya! Ya!"
Lin Hao and Ye Xiao, both clenched their teeth and used all their strength to lift the skeleton. Their arms couldn"t help but start twitching but they still could not move the skeleton by even a little.
At the same time, pressure started to increase bit by instantly, causing them to tremble violently.
"Roar!"
That low roar stuck to their eardrums once again. Their eyebrows started to twitch and their entire body felt extremely uncomfortable!
The skeleton was finally forcefully lifted by the two of them as a result of their combined strength. The two of them strongly pushed each other and it flipped over, revealing the other side of its back.
Now, both of them can clearly see what that golden metal was. It was actually a long needle that was pierced in the backhead of the skeleton for some unknown reason.
Lin Hao extended his hands to touch the needle but the moment he touched it, the gravitational force immediately took a leap and increased by double, forcing them to almost kneel on the ground but both of them hold still somehow and did not kneel.
Lin Hao felt cold in his hands. That golden needle was too cold to hold but he did not give up. He finally held the needle perfectly and started to pull it.
Crack! Crack!
With his pull, a low cracking sound started to echo.
"Ye Xiao, hurry up and stop him!" The voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon once again echoed in Ye Xiao"s head.
"Why?" Ye Xiao could not understand why Divine Soul Emperor Dragon was telling him to stop Lin Hao from pulling out the golden needle.
"Because this giant skeleton is the immortal whose existence I felt previously. It was suppressed here by someone and that golden needle is a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon that is suppressing this giant skeleton here. If that needle were to be pulled out, not only you two, but everyone present in the Secret Realm will face a great disaster!"
Divine Soul Emperor Dragon explained everything to Ye Xiao in hurry. Ye Xiao shouted in his mind in surprise, "Why didn"t you tell me about this earlier!"
"Earlier, even I was confused because, although this skeleton is an Immortal, it is suppressed here for countless years after it just became an immortal. Although it is only at the lowest level of Immortal, it is still not something you young people can fight against."
"I told you only after I confirmed if I am right or not about this skeleton. Ok, enough, hurry up and tell that boy to stop pulling out the golden needle, and don"t disturb me now, I am gonna sleep!"
The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon yawned for a few breaths of time and closed its eyes to sleep.
Ye Xiao also did not say anything to it. He looked at Lin Hao who was still trying to pull out the Golden Needle and said hurriedly, "Lin Hao, don"t pull out the Golden Needle otherwise we"ll be in big trouble! That skeleton i..."
Shua!
Lin Hao looked at Ye Xiao in confusion while Ye Xiao looked at Lin Hao with a shocked gaze because the Golden Needle was already in one of the hands of Lin Hao.
It was obvious that Ye Xiao was late. Before Ye Xiao could finish what he was telling, Lin Hao had already pulled out the Golden Needle.
"Ye Xiao, what do you mean by that?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.
Ye Xiao took a long breath and explained, "The needle in your hand is actually a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon which was suppressing this giant skeleton here. This skeleton is actually an existence that has surpa.s.sed the limit of our Azure Sky Continent!"
"Are you telling me that... this skeleton is actually an Immortal?" Lin Hao looked at the Golden Needle in his hand, then he looked at the skeleton and said in shock.
"Yes!" Ye Xiao nodded his head seriously and looked at the skeleton.
Suddenly, a monstrous wave surged out from the skeleton that enveloped both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao, causing them to feel extremely terrified!
Roar!
Ka-Ka-Ka!
The low roar and the cracking sound also started to echo out from the giant skeleton"s huge body.
