When Xu Longxiang and the other two rushed towards Jiang Yun, disregarding everything in their pursuit of the imperial legacy, the gigantic shadows enveloping their bodies trembled slightly, showing signs of fading.
But within the darkness, those colorful threads of light were becoming ever brighter.
Those skeletons pressed under the might of the Emperor's Bones, but any that came into the light of these rays trembled and gradually threw off the oppression. They began to stir and move, charging towards the three of them.
Although this scene was witnessed by Xu Longxiang and the others, it once again raised some suspicions in their hearts.
Especially Gu Qianxi, when she thought about it, Emperor Hao had made it very clear before. As long as someone among them could obtain the inheritance of the Great Emperor, all the skeletons would collapse on their own.
And now, whether Jiangyun's words are true or not, he definitely has obtained the inheritance of the Emperor.
But these skeletons did not collapse on their own.
Moreover, by this time, even the skeletons barring their way had almost lost all meaning. Yet, they struggled free from the Emperor Skeleton's suppression and continued to press forward, desperately trying to block their path and prevent them from reaching the Emperor Skeleton.
They were struggling and fighting as if it was their last stand!
Although they had doubts in their hearts, when they saw Jiang Yun who was not far away from them, they gritted their teeth and temporarily put aside those doubts.
Even if what Jiang Yun said is possible, this formation isn't meant to help us, but rather to imprison the remains of the emperor.
But at least that emperor's legacy is true!
Otherwise, why would Ginger Cloud have looked at it for so long and hesitated to return the Emperor's skeleton
Therefore, they also made up their minds that regardless of whether it was true or false, all matters would be settled after they had snatched the inheritance of the Great Emperor!
In the hands of three individuals, domain instruments reappeared once more. With the assistance of the collapsing spirit formation, they began to proactively attack the skeletal horde surging towards them, slowly advancing toward Jiang Yun.
The Emperor Hao's gaze didn't even glance at the three people, but stared intently at Jiang Yun, a look of disbelief appearing on his face.
Gingercloud's guess about this formation was completely accurate.
This great formation was set up by the four powerful figures of the four tribes back then, to imprison Emperor Hao.
Even to prevent the Hao Di from escaping and to increase the power of the formation, the four powerful beings fused their own lives into the formation, becoming formation spirits, firmly preventing the appearance of the Hao Di.
As for those skeletons, they were not the work of the Heavenly Emperor either. They were also created by four powerful beings to suppress him.
If anyone wants to get close to the Emperor Hao's body, these bones will attack.
The Haodi Emperor was naturally unwilling to be suppressed like this, and he wouldn't be content dying silently within this grand formation. Therefore, he split a strand of his divine consciousness, transforming it into an avatar. He exhausted all means to have it escape the formation and seek a suitable opportunity to manifest the Imperial Cave, luring the members of the four tribes to enter simultaneously. Each tribe would activate the formation in their own way, summoning their ancestors. This constant activation would drain the power of the formation.
This time, he originally thought his plan was foolproof. He finally chose four of the most suitable cultivators from the Four Clans, with a high hope of completely exhausting the power of the formation and allowing him to regain freedom.
But, he hadn't expected that, just as his plan was about to succeed, Jiang Yun would notice something was wrong.
First, Gingercloud allowed Lvzisuyu to return to her starting point, ensuring the spirit's persistence and preventing the weakening of the formation's power.
Then, under four consecutive attacks from Jiang Yun, the jade slip was forcefully taken away. He even threatened to crush it, preventing Xu Longxiang and his three companions from entering.
And at that time, the power of the formation still existed, and Hao Di was still unable to fully recover his freedom. Therefore, Hao Di simply allowed Jiang Yun to use his divine sense to view the contents within the jade slip.
And Gingercloud's guess about the jade slip was actually half right and half wrong.
That jade tablet, within its simplicity, actually contained the legacy left by the Emperor Hao, but also his soul!
The Jade Emperor, having poured his soul into the Jade Tablet, left only his physical body to withstand the suppression of this formation.
Only in this way can he live a little longer.
Otherwise, when his physical body turns into bones, his soul will also be completely dissipated.
Moreover, he was reluctant to part with his physical body, so he had to keep his soul and body as close together as possible.
Once separated for too long, his soul may very well be unable to return to his body.
As Jiang Yun plunged his divine consciousness into the jade slip, a strand of Hao Di's soul immediately launched an attack on Jiang Yun. After entering Jiang Yun's body, it instantly used its soul power to cast a seal, trapping Jiang Yun's soul.
Afterwards, everything that came out of Ginger Cloud's mouth, every word spoken and every action taken, wasn't from Ginger Cloud himself, but from the Emperor Hao's soul fragment that had temporarily replaced Ginger Cloud's.
This temporary replacement is not a soul-stealing, it only temporarily suppresses Jiang Yun's soul.
In fact, Hao Di wasn't lying to Jiang Yun about one thing: Jiang Yun was not suited to inherit his legacy, nor was he suitable for being possessed by him.
Therefore, he only wanted to temporarily stabilize Jiang Yun and wait until the formation was broken before returning his soul to his original body.
Even though his body was left only with bones, as long as he regained his freedom, in time he could allow the bones to grow back flesh and blood.
...He hadn't expected that Ginger Cloud's soul and physical body were both unusually powerful.
If one were at their peak, to suppress Ginger Cloud's soul and control Ginger Cloud's body for a short time would be an easy feat.
But over so many years, his soul power has been greatly weakened, and he had only split out a wisp of it. Therefore, when he wanted to control Jiang Yun and send the jade slip back into his mouth, he suddenly discovered that he could no longer completely control Jiang Yun's body.
Jiāngyún's soul, too, began to counterattack!
This also left him with no choice but to continue weaving excuses, using the legacy of the Emperor as bait to entice Xu Longxiang and the others to act, further depleting the formation's power.
Now, Xu Longxiang and the others were held back by those skeletons, slowing their pace. Meanwhile, Jiang Yunhun's resistance grew stronger, forcing his soul to grit its teeth and continue suppressing it.
He knew very well that if he suddenly attacked Jiang Yun or made Jiang Yun wake up at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
After killing Ginger Cloud, Xu Longxiang and the other two naturally understood that everything Ginger Cloud had said was true.
Once Jiang Yun regained consciousness, he would inevitably cause Xu Longxiang and the others to stop moving again, thus allowing the formation's power to remain and continue imprisoning him.
Damn it, three trash cans, so slow!
The Emperor's gaze continuously shifted between Jiang Yun and Xu Longxiang and the other two, gritting his teeth as he continued to suppress Jiang Yun with his soul power.
And this kind of suppression, for his already dwindling soul power, was also a huge drain.
His soul, with every strand lost, may forever be beyond recovery.
Just as Jiang Yun's body began to move more and more, even withdrawing his hand tightly gripping the jade slip, Xu Longxiang and the other two finally arrived beside the Emperor's skeleton.
In the eyes of both Hao Di and Gui, dazzling lights also flashed!m"As soon as the sound faded, a hush fell over the crowd.Although they refused to believe it, they knew many of the deceased monks personally and were certain they could never have killed each other.E...
