On the stone platform at the green pond, a bone fragnt lay quietly, only the size of a palm, very ordinary and mundane, its color gray and lacking any luster, resembling a useless bone piece discarded for many years.
But it was exactly such a bone fragnt that, under the moonlight, faintly glowed and had patterns that flashed and intertwined with one another, forming a map.
Although it was only a corner, the terrain and patterns were clearly visible.
Elder Yan said, "Little Chenzi, this could possibly be a Treasure Map, leading to the Divine Treasure Land."
Ye Chen nodded in agreent and said, "Indeed, I think that’s a possibility."
A map appearing, if not a Treasure Map guiding to treasure, then what else could it be?
And this bone fragnt was so extraordinary that it caused two Martial God Realm experts to compete for it, only revealing its patterned anomaly under the moonlight, surely making it an extraordinary item.
Ordinary Treasure Maps could not possibly be made so complex, only a real Divine Treasure’s map would be, which was also why Martial God Realm experts would fiercely compete for it.
Even such Divine Treasure, probably even a Heavenly Divine Realm expert would be tempted.
Ye Chen leapt ten zhang across the sky and landed in front of the green pond, but he did not move forward, for in the three-zhang-wide green pond, a faint glow circulated, forming a protective barrier around the bone fragnt to prevent it from being snatched.
He punched out, creating an explosion; the air burst and the ground shook, the impact on the protective barrier likely equal to ten thousand jin of force, comparable to a real blow from an Innate Strong Person.
But even with such a terrifying punch, which could potentially shake a small mountain, it only caused a slight tremble on the protective barrier and did not reduce its luminosity at all.
No wonder the Octagonal Green Bull was so confident to leave, as there was this layer of protection.
And Ye Chen, with his keen vision, could see through the strength of the protective barrier, which probably even a Martial God Realm expert could not break in a short period of ti, otherwise the Octagonal Green Bull would not have been so assured.
Regrettably, there was still the mysterious Elder Yan at Ye Chen’s side.
"Elder Yan, I ask you to make a move."
Elder Yan nodded, without any hesitation or spare words, his expression serene, and suddenly a strange purple fire erged in his ethereal palm, flowing like purple gold, exceptionally unique.
The instant this purple fla appeared, Ye Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed as he deeply looked but said nothing.
A touch of the Purple Gold Divine Fire gently landed on the protective barrier, which could resist the attacks of Martial God Realm beings, yet it burned through and created a hole big enough to easily fit a hand. Elder Yan swiftly secured the bone fragnt and then tossed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen casually caught it, feeling the bone warm and smooth like jade in his hand, seemingly rough but actually incredibly smooth, very extraordinary.
He tried with force, but found that the seemingly ordinary bone fragnt was incredibly hard; even with his terrifying strength of ten thousand jin, he could not damage it in the slightest.
This was certainly a very mysterious bone piece.
After taking the bone fragnt, Ye Chen did not study it further but instead imdiately turned and left, fearing that the Octagonal Green Bull might suddenly return.
Only after traveling tens to hundreds of li away and reaching a sufficiently safe distance did Ye Chen stop. He then found a relatively safer cave, even scattering so Innate Demonic Beast fur to block other Demon Beasts from appearing, and took out the bone fragnt, holding it in his palm, starting to study it carefully.
With the help of the moonlight, what was initially an empty bone fragnt suddenly displayed mysterious patterns, continuously intertwining, finally forming a patterned map that erged.
On the map were mountains, rivers, and even cities; various shapes were appearing, coming together to form a corner of a landscape.
No matter whether it was Ye Chen or Elder Yan, both were carefully studying the map, wanting to know exactly which place it depicted. Unfortunately, the map was not complete, having only a corner, thus it was impossible to tell which place it was.
Clearly, this bone fragnt was also just one of the pieces of the Divine Treasure Map. The real complete treasure map was likely once a huge bone body. However, for so unknown reasons, the bone had shattered into many fragnts, and the bone fragnt in front of them was just one of those pieces.
Holding the bone fragnt, Elder Yan looked at it for a mont, then slightly furrowed his brows and said, "We’re not just talking about the secret treasure map recorded in the bone fragnt, this bone fragnt itself is very unusual. The material is extrely hard. Not to ntion you, even the power of the Martial God Realm would hardly damage it. But why does it always give a sense of déjà vu?"
"Could it be that Elder Yan has seen such a bone fragnt before?" Ye Chen thought for a mont and then asked.
Even with Ye Chen’s vast knowledge, he did not know what kind of creature this bone fragnt ca from, only that it was extraordinary.
Elder Yan just shook his head and said, "It’s possible, it indeed feels like I have seen it before, but I just can’t rember where, which is quite strange."
Ye Chen turned solemn. This bone fragnt might even have a connection with Elder Yan’s origin. He asked, "Can you really not rember anything at all, Elder Yan?"
"I really can’t rember anything. I’m not deceiving you; it’s the truth," said Elder Yan after a mont, shaking his head.
Seeing this, Ye Chen did not ask further and carefully put away the bone fragnt. However, the mont he turned around, the expressions of both n changed abruptly at an angle invisible to each other...
"Roar—"
Two hours later, a terrifying roar resonated over hundreds of miles, filled with anger.
It was the roar of the Octagonal Green Bull, which had returned, only to find that the bone fragnt had been stolen while it was away. Startled and furious, it couldn’t help but roar and bellow.
The most terrifying fluctuations exploded far beyond hundreds of miles. The mountains in all directions trembled. Terrifying green and fire light soared into the sky, illuminating the vast area for hundreds of miles around.
Thunderous booms were incessant. Ye Chen knew it must be the Octagonal Green Bull venting its fury, also seeking the one who had stolen the bone fragnt.
Unfortunately, the gigantic Octagonal Bull would never guess that Ye Chen had stolen the white bone fragnts. As for Ye Chen, the ringleader, he was already hundreds of miles away from that area.
That night, the entire night, the Octagonal Green Bull raged madly.
The entire Demon Beast Mountain Range could hear its raging roars all through the night, along with terrifying streaks of green lightning soaring into the sky, agitating the lands in all directions. Countless miles of forests suffered from its terrifying destructive power, rocks flying chaotically, stirring chaos in all directions.
Countless demon beasts shivered as they felt the terrifying pressure of the Super Demon Beast and dared not resist.
Until the last, at dawn, a deep animal roar echoed from the deepest depths, signaling that the enraged Octagonal Green Bull had finally stopped its rampage and cald down.
But at that mont, an extrely terrifying invisible surge erupted, lightning-fast covering nearly the entire vast Demon Beast Mountain Range, carrying imnse pressure that made nurous demon beasts in the mountains tremble and completely submit, not daring to move.
Feeling this unprecedentedly vast fluctuation, Ye Chen’s color changed on the spot, and Elder Yan floated out, spreading a faint light mbrane to protect Ye Chen as he looked toward the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and said, "Such powerful Divine Sense Power, perhaps there truly exists a Heavenly Divine Realm overlord among the demon beasts in the deepest part of this mountain range."
Ye Chen nodded, his expression grave, "I didn’t expect that within the bounds of a small Demon Beast Mountain Range there laid such a Heavenly Divine Realm overlord. If it weren’t for you, Elder Yan, stepping in, I would have probably exposed our trail and even possibly been discovered that the bone fragnt was with us."
It could be anticipated that the bone fragnt surely aroused the Heavenly Divine Realm overlord in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, causing it to release such powerful Divine Sense Power.
For a suspected Heavenly Divine Realm overlord to react so vehently showed that the origin of this bone fragnt was even more extraordinary.
Elder Yan said, "Don’t worry, though this demon beast overlord is powerful, it’s still difficult for it to locate our position under my interference. But it also sufficiently demonstrates the importance of this bone fragnt."
That night, outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a vast number of armies suddenly appeared, fully ard and ready, standing by as they faced the Demon Beast Mountain Range!
