"Beyond Supreme Realm..."

Although Song Yi and the others didn't know exactly how terrifying a realm this person had reached, just those few words were enough to make them feel an immense pressure...

They knew that with their talent, even with this fortunate encounter, stepping into the Grandmaster level was essentially their limit. The Supreme Realm was an elusive legend they didn't dare to dream of!

Thinking about this, they couldn't help but glance at Qin Fang beside them.

They hadn't specifically asked Qin Fang's exact age, but he was undoubtedly very young, not over thirty... and at this age, he already possessed a cultivation comparable to that of a Grandmaster-level expert, stepping into the Grandmaster level would pose no difficulty at all.

Furthermore, Qin Fang would have decades to slowly accumulate and comprehend, so stepping into the Supreme Realm might not be too difficult!

Not to mention, they had witnessed the terrifying powers Qin Fang wielded... the invincible puppet person, the dragon-like pet, and that horrifying flame sword qi, among other unimaginable things, were all under Qin Fang's command.

If someone like him couldn't reach higher levels in the future, they wouldn't dare to believe it even if they were beaten to death...

As for the skeleton in front of them, even though it had been dead for over a thousand years, it remained quite intact. The golden skeleton emitted a strange pressure that kept Song Yi, a quasi-grandmaster level expert, from approaching.

"Indeed, it surpassed the Supreme Realm..."

Qin Fang nodded, confirming it once more.

This could be discerned by the strength of the zombies from when they were alive, inside the other eight stone coffins guarding this stone coffin... To be accompanied in death by eight Supreme Realm powerhouses, how could such a person be simple?

Jiang Rui and Li Qun were not strong enough to feel it clearly, but Song Yi, being a Great Grandmaster level expert, felt a vague sense of suppression and heart palpitations, making him quite uncomfortable... However, Qin Fang's feeling was even stronger; he felt as if the space around his body was being restricted by an invisible force!

"It seems the stronger the power, the more apparent this suppression becomes... and for a Supreme Realm powerhouse, it might be even more severely limited!"

This thought couldn't help but arise in Qin Fang's mind.

Though it was just his personal guess...

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a Supreme Realm powerhouse to verify it; such experts almost always seclude themselves in areas rich in spiritual energy, like Devil's Island or within the mountain gates of those thousand-year sects.

But Qin Fang had a feeling that his guess might be correct...

"Should I take this skeleton away? It might come in handy at a critical moment..."

Understanding this, Qin Fang couldn't help but murmur to himself, realizing such an item could become a highly useful trump card, potentially turning the tide at specific times.

The only trouble is...

"Damn, it's an indiscriminate, enemy-and-friend-confusing weapon of mass destruction! Better leave it..."

But on second thought, while this skeleton could restrain other experts, it would also strongly counterbalance him, and as Qin Fang's strength continued to grow, this suppressive effect would become stronger.

If he ever faced an enemy he couldn't handle, this skeleton might indeed work wonders, but he himself could also be heavily suppressed... it might end up harming the enemy and hurting himself as well!

"Young Master Qin, look quickly..."

Song Yi and Qin Fang couldn't get too close because the suppression was too severe, but Jiang Rui and Li Qun could approach a bit more easily, and seemed to have discovered something at this time, exclaiming immediately.

Qin Fang and Song Yi couldn't help but edge closer, and the strong sense of suppression immediately intensified... it even gave Qin Fang a faint feeling of suffocation.

"Jiang Rui, Li Qun, take that thing out..."

At this moment, although Qin Fang couldn't get too close, he already saw clearly what Jiang Rui and Li Qun were referring to. It was lodged within the skull of the skeleton... something that looked like a pearl, but the size of a pigeon egg.

Jiang Rui and Li Qun quickly reached out, ignoring the surrounding oppression and reaching out to the skull of the skeleton. However, they soon became frustrated. Despite their Master Level Peak cultivation, they couldn't pry open the skull.

"Young Master Qin, it's no good... this skull is too hard, we can't pry it open!"

And the pearl was stuck in the skull; without prying it open or breaking it, there was no way to take the pearl out!

"Use my sword..."

Qin Fang immediately handed over his Flowing Shadow Divine Sword... it was the sharpest treasured sword they had at their disposal!

Jiang Rui didn't hesitate and carefully struck the golden skull with the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword. He didn't dare use too much force, afraid of damaging the pearl, which would make their efforts all for naught.

Ding~~~

The Flowing Shadow Divine Sword collided with the golden skull, producing a pleasant clang, as if it wasn't a dead person's skull but a chunk of gold!

Yet, despite continuous clanging, Qin Fang's Flowing Shadow Divine Sword couldn't overcome that skull at all... It's unknown how resilient this person's skeleton had been trained in life, that even a divine weapon like the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword couldn't harm it!

Jiang Rui tried several more times with the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, even attempting to pry it open bit by bit from the seams of the skull, but all ended in failure...

"Damn! This is too solid... If this thing were used to hit someone, they'd probably be dead with one hit!"

Seeing no solution, Jiang Rui couldn't help but mutter, his frustration evident on his face... The orb within the skull was definitely not a simple object, but unfortunately, the treasure was right in front of them, and they were powerless to obtain it!

The most annoying part was that Qin Fang or Song Yi might have a way to open this skull, but they couldn't get close...

"Perhaps this was deliberately set up by the owner of this underground palace..." Qin Fang thought to himself, feeling that the possibility was quite likely.

Ever since entering this underground palace, each challenge could sweep away many competitors, especially the fourth and sixth floors, which were filled with dangers, allowing only top experts to force their way through... And these people were mostly Grandmaster-level, Great Grandmaster-level, or even Supreme Realm!

But when these people arrived at the final treasure repository, they would have to face the combined assault of eight zombies even stronger than ordinary Supreme Realm powerhouses... Even if they managed to destroy these zombies, it would almost clear out the remaining powerful experts, leaving only the topmost experts.

Then...

These topmost experts would maddeningly realize that they had been tricked!

No matter how terrifying their strength, they couldn't get within one or two meters of this golden corpse... Otherwise, the pressure released by this corpse would be enough to easily wipe them out!

Of course, perhaps the owner of the underground palace never expected someone as perverse and monstrous as Qin Fang to appear, who wiped out all those zombies with a single flame... and kept all of his combat strength intact!

"Could this be the terrifying power of a powerhouse beyond the Supreme Realm? Even after being dead for a thousand years, still so fearsome..."

Yet, even after overcoming so many challenges and reaching the end, Qin Fang felt deeply powerless facing this corpse; the owner of this underground palace was incredibly deceitful.

"Young Master Qin, what should we do?"

Seeing no use in forcefully prying, Song Yi and the others felt somewhat troubled, naturally turning to Qin Fang for advice, as Qin Fang was their true leader. Even if the orb were removed, it would belong to Qin Fang.

"If it doesn't work, forget it. At worst, we'll take the corpse with us..."

Qin Fang, equally helpless, could only make such a choice.

"Hmm..."

Just when everyone was at a loss and Qin Fang was about to give up, he suddenly exclaimed halfway through his speech.

"Young Master Qin, what's wrong?"

Song Yi and the others were puzzled. Qin Fang stood there without much movement, yet suddenly exclaimed, sparking their curiosity.

"Nothing, just protect me..."

Qin Fang waved his hand, summoning a puppet person and giving some simple instructions before sitting cross-legged instantly... A bizarre radiance emanated from him.

Song Yi and the other three were initially stunned, but they sat cross-legged immediately, protecting Qin Fang...

"Why is it hatching now?"

Despite being in meditation, Qin Fang was aware of everything outside. Seeing that Song Yi and the others bore no ill intentions, he was completely relieved, pondering over the previous change.

Because, that egg hidden within Qin Fang's body... was about to hatch!

This egg had absorbed a substantial amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Spring, seeming no less than what Little Dragon absorbed; it was quite the glutton, far surpassing Qin Fang... And now, it was finally going to hatch.

However, this hatching seemed rather unique...

Qin Fang could feel the egg slowly hatching, something small emerging slowly from within... Yet, it did not absorb any energy from within Qin Fang, whether it be True Qi, elemental energy, or blood essence.

Instead...

Qin Fang's hand suddenly held an object... a peculiar-looking orb!

"Look quickly..."

Song Yi and the others, though protecting Qin Fang, were taken aback at this scene... The orb they had tried so hard to obtain suddenly flew into Qin Fang's hand on its own! (To be continued.
