CHAPTER 1072: CHAPTER 1062: NINE DRAGON CHARIOT

"Boom, boom, boom..." Accompanied by that majestic and domineering voice, the rumbling beneath the earth not only didn’t stop, but grew even more intense.

Bone spikes suddenly protruded from the earth.

When Chen Hai, Lu Yingtian, and the others sensed something unusual happening below the ground, they were already on high alert, keeping vigilant of their surroundings.

Though the emergence of those bone spikes was extremely sudden, they had been on guard, their figures swiftly flashing away, dodging quickly.

The appearance of these bone spikes didn’t bring them any harm.

Among Seven Killings Demon Lord’s group, the two people lagging at the back were busy running frantically, with no time to pay attention to anything around them. Compared to Chen Hai and the others, these two guys were undoubtedly much more unfortunate.

A series of bone spikes, like lightning, suddenly shot up from the ground beneath their feet. The two, who were completely unprepared, were not spared and were completely pierced by these spikes.

When they were first pierced by the spikes, they could wail a couple of times, but in just a few breaths, their blood and flesh disappeared, their breaths ceased, and they turned into dry bones.

Compared with the other scattered white bones on the earth, the remains of these two who just died were indistinguishable, looking as if they had been lying here for innumerable years.

As for Seven Killings Demon Lord’s group, they were relatively fortunate. Their escape distance seemed to have already moved out of the attack range of that unknown presence below the earth. In the places they passed, not a shadow of the bone spikes was seen.

Their companions who died under those spikes emitted pitiful cries before their death, clearly heard by them, but these folks did not stop at all; instead, they sped up their escape.

In just a few leaps, whether it was Seven Killings Demon Lord or the others, they had all vanished, disappearing from Chen Hai and the others’ sight.

In fact, at this critical moment, whether they escaped or stayed, Chen Hai had no time to pay attention to them.

"Who lurks sneakily beneath the earth? Roll out and face death..."

Faced with these sudden bone spike attacks, Chen Hai, although unharmed, had Tie Feng near him, who was severely injured, barely able to stand at this moment.

The densely packed bone spikes emerging from the earth, Chen Hai and Lu Yingtian and the others could avoid these attacks, but Tie Feng just couldn’t.

Impaled by several spikes, like those two people before, right under Chen Hai’s eyes, his blood and flesh vanished, turning into dry bones.

Having accepted the Path Enlightenment Flower he offered, Chen Hai had promised to keep him safe.

But now, he actually died right under his nose, his life cruelly taken by those bone spikes...

Such a scene was truly a slap in the face to Chen Hai.

If he ignored it and showed no reaction, how would he maintain his dignity? How would Lu Yingtian, Ancestor Kugu, and the others perceive him?

With a furious low roar, he punched the ground mercilessly several times.

Amidst constant rumblings, the ground full of sinister cracks, under Chen Hai’s hits, seemed to crumble and split open into a deep chasm.

White Bone Flowers suddenly appeared in the sky, fluttering down towards the earth below.

In the depths of a pitch-black chasm, one golden dragon after another rose up.

These golden dragons had vacant eyes, lacking any spirit.

With their blood and flesh dried up, they were merely skin attached to skeletons. Even the golden scales on their dragon skins were dull, incomplete, and uneven.

The originally sacred and dignified golden dragons, presenting this mummified form, now only gave a sinister and terrifying feeling.

As nine dry corpse dragons ascended, a giant chariot, gray-black and seemingly decayed but still emitting a precious light, slowly emerged from the depths of the chasm.

Until this moment, everyone then realized that on each of those nine dry corpse dragons, there was a colorless and transparent thing, like reins, connecting them to the chariot.

It was under the pull of these nine dry corpse dragons that the chariot slowly appeared in everyone’s view.

"Could it be... this is the legendary Nine Dragon Chariot..."

"What kind of existence is below the ground? When appearing, arriving on the Nine Dragon Chariot before us?"

Chen Hai, with his limited knowledge, upon seeing the appearance of those dry corpse dragons and the chariot, only felt it somewhat strange.

However, within the likes of Lu Yingtian and Ancestor Kugu, there were people who were well-informed.

The chariot, under the drag of the nine dry corpse dragons, emerged from the endless darkness of the chasm, showing only a glimpse, already changing the complexion of several people.

Especially White Head Demon Venerate, who already had a pale face, now even devoid of any blood color. He didn’t even have time to greet the others and turned away to escape.

"I am the Three Realms Supreme, who are you all? Startling me from my slumber..." The majestic and domineering voice from the darkness sounded again.

Perhaps White Head Demon Venerate’s action irritated the owner of the voice, for as the words were not yet finished, the tone changed: "How dare you! Not only do you not bow before my presence, but you turn and leave?"

With a cold snort, a bloodless and shriveled giant hand, reached out from the chariot dragged by the dry corpse dragons.

The giant hand, mere skin clinging to bones and hardly any flesh left, appeared, seeming to cover the sky and earth, enveloping the entire area.

One of the fingers, like a pillar supporting the sky, pinched towards White Head Demon Venerate, who had just run a few steps.

"Before you killed the one I wanted to protect, that’s one thing, but now, right in front of me, you want to harm my companion?"

"I’m right here, do you take me for nothing?"

"No matter how great you once were, now you are just a wretched form, still trying to show off before us?"

Seeing the giant hand covering the sky falling straight down, Chen Hai snorted coldly.

Though there was a slight rift with Lu Yingtian, White Head Demon Venerate, and the others, they were still part of the same group.

In front of him, to kill his teammates was simply not allowed!

Moreover, when the unknown presence killed the one he wanted to protect, Tie Feng, it was something Chen Hai held in his heart all along.

With a cold snort, taking a deep breath, he raised his fist, directly punching towards the giant hand.
