On its body were a few tattered strips of silk cloth, fluttering in the harsh gale of the canyon.

Li Hao crouched down, carefully examining and picking up the scattered bones on the ground. To his surprise, as soon as he held them, he realized that these bones were exceptionally heavy, as if lifting dense iron.

Just a single finger-length white bone weighed tens of thousands of pounds!

Li Hao was somewhat shocked. Upon closer inspection, he noticed fine, silvery patterns on the surface of the bone. But these were not ordinary bone patterns—they were a type of Dao pattern!

"The Dao etched upon the bone... This looks like a Dao Bone!"

Li Hao’s expression shifted. His own bones now exhibited similar characteristics, but possessing Dao Bones was one of the prerequisites for cultivating the Wen Dao Extreme Realm. Could the owner of this skeleton have also mastered the Wen Dao Extreme Realm during their life?

Amongst All Heavens, even Supreme Saints might not achieve the Wen Dao Extreme Realm. Yet now, this random skeleton he had encountered possessed Dao Bones!

Unfortunately, its flesh had long been reduced to decay, and the white bone in Li Hao’s hand had dimmed in luster. Though still heavy, when Li Hao applied a slight amount of force to press it, it shattered. freewebnσvel.cøm

"It seems... it’s been dead for an unimaginably long time."

Li Hao’s thoughts raced as he considered the Source Ancestor, born during the Ancient Times—a period when Immortal Divine beings had already vanished.

Could these white bones before him be remnants from that era?

If that were the case, the fact that these bones had decayed this far without fully disintegrating was utterly terrifying!

After all, even a Supreme Saint surviving to the present day was an extremely rare miracle, let alone a corpse lasting this long after death without complete decomposition.

Li Hao felt a sinking weight in his heart, realizing that the owner of these bones might be one of the legendary Immortal Divine beings.

Now lying dead here, with over a dozen skeletons of a similar nature discovered within the ten-mile radius he had explored.

"It seems that the Immortal Divine beings were numerous. And furthermore, even such entities battled amongst themselves..."

Li Hao muttered quietly to himself.

Immortal Divine beings, existing beyond Supreme Saints, capable of living as long as Heaven and Earth. Yet they too engaged in strife—was this the essence of life itself, a cycle of mutual consumption from the moment of creation?

His mood grew heavier as he picked up a battle blade from among the bones. He found it even weightier still—over a million pounds—but it displayed no trace of energy fluctuations, resembling the inert rocks surrounding him. Its material was simply more refined, a lifeless object.

Li Hao suddenly thought of a fragment he carried. He retrieved it immediately and lightly scraped it against the battle blade.

Unexpectedly, the fragment left only a damaged groove on the blade, but did not cleave it completely.

The indestructible fragment had, for the first time, met resistance, unable to cut through the blade directly.

Li Hao’s eyes flickered as he stowed the battle blade into his Heaven and Earth Space, then continued onward.

Before long, beside some mountain rocks, he encountered another skeleton, seemingly sitting in eternal repose.

On its shoulder bone, a jade pendant lay fallen, its brilliance dulled, covered in dust.

The clothing was shredded, hanging on the sharp protrusions of the skeleton, yet was not carried away by the wind.

This seemed to have been a woman.

Perhaps beautiful and radiant in life, but in death, she was now reduced to a haunting skeleton.

Li Hao silently picked up the relics beside her—a fractured sword and a necklace hanging from her neck.

These were likely once top-tier treasures, but now they had lost their former luster and commanding presence, much like their late owner, now lying here, sealed in silent oblivion.

Li Hao stored them away and then pressed forward.

The skeletons he encountered along the way grew progressively sparse, some reduced to mere scattered fragments of bone strewn across the ground.

Apart from these remains, Li Hao also discovered a bronze chariot, partially broken and irreparably damaged. Intricate carvings on its surface depicted ancient Exotic Beasts, their forms terrifyingly fierce and savage. Even their outward appearance exuded an overwhelming presence.

Li Hao, moving like a scavenger, placed this shattered bronze chariot into his Heaven and Earth Space as well.

Then, as he continued on, passing by one skeleton after another, he ventured deeper into the canyon.

A vast canyon, with no end in sight, was littered with white bones along the path.

After a while, Li Hao suddenly froze in his steps. With his Divine Sense sweeping the area ten miles ahead, he spotted a cluster of mangled skeletons, alongside another enormous white skeleton.

Unlike the prior human-like skeletons, this massive bone structure belonged to some kind of Exotic Beast. It appeared tremendously ferocious, its skeleton adorned with sharp spikes. The claws extended into long, curved bones, impossibly sharp. Li Hao could hardly envision whether its scales or flesh would have been similarly razor-edged.

"Could it be an entity that battled against the Immortal Divine beings? Or perhaps their enslaved mount?"

Li Hao’s eyes flickered as he approached the massive white skeleton cautiously.

Upon arriving near its remains, Li Hao examined the surrounding traces carefully, quickly deciphering the site’s evidence. This Exotic Beast skeleton and those Immortal Divine beings had mutually slaughtered each other.

"There’s actually an Exotic Beast that fought against the Immortal Divine beings—was it a demon that evolved to their level?"

Li Hao pondered as his eyes swept over the ground, searching for remnants. He found fragments of scattered, broken weapons, which he promptly collected.

Pausing briefly, Li Hao then resumed his journey.

The deeper he ventured into the canyon, the more numerous the skeletons became.

Li Hao continued to gather abandoned weapons, along with four additional bronze chariots.

Traveling several hundred miles, the terrain gradually grew steep, and Li Hao could see what looked like the canyon’s end ahead.

A sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in Li Hao’s heart, as though the world outside this canyon might be even grimmer.

Carrying this heavy feeling, he continued pressing forward.

Eventually, ascending the increasingly steep slope, Li Hao finally emerged from the canyon.

Upon arriving at its exit, Li Hao’s gaze fell upon a bronze chariot stationed at the entrance. Sitting at the edge of its wheel track lay a stark-white skeleton.

In its arms was an Ancient Sword. Compared to the other skeletons, this body had been preserved in extraordinarily complete form.

Li Hao glanced casually at first, then his eyes suddenly narrowed. He felt as though the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton were staring directly at him.
