The Rebirth of the Ancient Tomb: The Skull King

"Creak... creak..." In the boundless darkness, a harsh rubbing sound rang out, making one's hair stand on end.

Xu Feng's face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down his body. He was trembling all over, and his heart was filled with extreme fear. A living skeleton? It was terrifying!

Upon hearing the sound of the bones rubbing against each other, Fang Ziyi fainted directly, without hesitation. She was a girl, and it would be very strange if she didn't faint in such a situation.

Xu Feng stepped back step by step because he felt that the skeleton was approaching him. If he didn't step back, he would bump into the skeleton, so he had to retreat.

Suddenly, it seemed as if something tripped his foot. Xu Feng stumbled and sat on the ground. At this moment, Pang Ye had already reached in front of him. Because Pang Ye had already realized that these two people didn't have the slightest fluctuation of true qi, which meant they didn't know martial arts and were just two ordinary people. Moreover, they were very timid, so he decided to scare them. If Xu Feng hadn't discovered him, he wouldn't have done this. There were too many doubts waiting for him to solve, and he didn't need to waste his time on these two people.

"Don't come any closer," Xu Feng shouted loudly. Although he was extremely frightened in his heart, he still tried to stop something. At least he had made an attempt, which was better than doing nothing.

The only response to him was the harsh sound of bones rubbing against each other. Xu Feng went crazy. The extreme fear made him suddenly burst out with his own potential. He suddenly stood up and ran in another direction. Although it was pitch dark ahead, as long as he could get away from that skeleton, it would be fine. At this moment, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't think about anything else but running forward.

With a dull thud, Xu Feng bumped into the stone wall. His head was severely hit, and he fainted directly. Perhaps for him, this was not a bad way to escape.

Pang Ye stopped, shook his head, and made a "creak" sound. He secretly thought, "Why are people so weak nowadays?"

What should he do now? Go out? He definitely had to go out, otherwise how could he solve the doubts in his heart? But now he was just a skeleton, and all his divine power had been lost. If he appeared in the human world, he was afraid it would be very dangerous.

Just when Pang Ye was feeling very troubled, the entire tomb suddenly changed. A layer of faint purple and golden light rose up, appearing out of nowhere. In an instant, it filled the entire tomb. Pang Ye felt something was wrong. Bathed in the purple and golden light, he felt a dull pain in his eyes. It was very strange. Since he was just a skeleton now, and his eyes were just two holes, why did he have such a feeling?

As the purple and golden light became more and more intense, the dull pain in Pang Ye's eyes became more severe. Suddenly, the two empty eye sockets flashed with light. A little purple light spot appeared in his left eye, and a little golden light spot appeared in his right eye. It was very strange. As the purple and golden light spots became brighter and brighter, Pang Ye felt that the pain in his eyes disappeared, and instead, he felt very comfortable. Moreover, it seemed that he could see a trace of light. Could it be that he could see again?

Pang Ye continued to wait, waiting for further changes. Everything was just as he had thought. After an unknown amount of time, Pang Ye could really see clearly, very clearly. And his two eyes showed two blazing balls of light, one purple and one golden, as if they were purple and golden flames burning fiercely.

Although he didn't know why this had happened, the fact that his eyes could see again made Pang Ye very happy. He looked around. The tomb was very large, but he didn't know exactly how large it was because the surrounding area was filled with purple and golden light, blocking his view.

Then Pang Ye saw Fang Ziyi lying on the ground. She was a very beautiful girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pale face and a look of fear. There was no need to guess why. Not far away, leaning against the stone wall, was Xu Feng, about twenty years old. His strange clothes were in tatters, and there was blood on his forehead, obviously the result of hitting the stone wall.

Pang Ye ignored them and walked straight to the place where he had been lying for I don't know how many years, that pit, and slowly sat down. Bathed in the purple and golden light, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body. It was warm, and it was very strange. Could a skeleton also have feelings?

What exactly was this purple and golden light? Pang Ye didn't know, but he knew that this light was definitely extraordinary because it contained an extremely rich amount of spiritual energy. Where did it come from?

Just as Pang Ye was about to investigate the source of this light, out of the corner of his right eye, he seemed to see something. He turned his head and Pang Ye found that in a corner of the pit, there was an ancient scroll lying there. What was that?

Pang Ye quickly picked up the ancient scroll. At the very top of it, there were three simple and unsophisticated Chinese characters, "Zuntian Gong"?

Zuntian Gong was the most extraordinary martial art in the Celestial Realm, belonging to the Hongmeng Tianzun. How could it appear here? Although Pang Ye was puzzled in his heart, he was still overjoyed. If he could cultivate Zuntian Gong, he would definitely be able to restore his original cultivation level, and he might even be able to be reborn with flesh and blood.

Unfolding the ancient scroll, Pang Ye hesitated for a moment because Zuntian Gong was a treasure of the Celestial Realm, and only the supreme being of the Celestial Realm could cultivate it. But now Pang Ye couldn't care so much. There were too many mysteries that needed to be solved by him. Without powerful strength as a backing, everything was out of the question. So the most important thing at present was to restore his cultivation level. As for the fact that he cultivated Zuntian Gong and violated the laws of the Celestial Realm, he could only apologize to the Tianzun in person in the future.

Having figured this out, Pang Ye no longer paid attention to the strange purple and golden light. Instead, he immediately began to study Zuntian Gong carefully. The ancient scroll was only about the size of two palms, and there weren't many characters on it, but each character contained the profound truth of the Heavenly Dao. Even with Pang Ye's talent, there were many places he didn't quite understand. He had to write them down first and think about them slowly later.

After finishing his study, Pang Ye was ready to start cultivating. But suddenly he was stunned. Now he was just a skeleton. He didn't have any meridians, nor did he have a dantian to store true qi. How could he store true qi?

Was it really the end of him, Pang Ye?

"No, I, Pang Ye, am not willing to give up. Since the heavens have allowed me to be resurrected and I have obtained the Celestial Realm's precious manual Zuntian Gong, there must be a way. There is always a way out. I just haven't found it yet," Pang Ye comforted himself in his heart. The joy of finding Zuntian Gong gave him hope, but in an instant, it made him despair. This feeling was very uncomfortable. Even though Pang Ye was just a skeleton, he was no ordinary skeleton because he was the renowned War God of the Celestial Realm, the invincible War God!

Sitting cross-legged in the pit, the incantation of Zuntian Gong flashed through Pang Ye's mind. After a while, Pang Ye felt the fluctuations of the surrounding air currents, which slowly converged towards him. However, Pang Ye was just a skeleton, and the spiritual energy couldn't be stored at all. Pang Ye circulated Zuntian Gong over and over again. The purple and golden light around him rushed towards him crazily, but in an instant, it passed through his skeleton body and dissipated!

Pang Ye had no choice but to stop circulating Zuntian Gong, and his heart was filled with despair. Without powerful strength, even if he went out, he would be immediately eliminated by others. Was he destined to hide in this ancient tomb with the Celestial Realm's precious manual, which was coveted by immortals and gods, for the rest of his life?

Suddenly, Pang Ye felt something was wrong because he felt that he had some strength. Although it was very slight, he noticed it. Before, his skeleton body was very weak, but after circulating Zuntian Gong, he had much more strength. Could it be that when the huge amount of spiritual energy passed through the bones, the bones were nourished and strengthened?

It must be so. A glimmer of hope emerged in Pang Ye's despairing heart again. If he continuously circulated Zuntian Gong, would his skeleton body become even stronger?

Thinking of it, he did it. Pang Ye immediately got rid of all distractions and concentrated on circulating Zuntian Gong. The huge amount of spiritual energy around him converged again crazily, washing over Pang Ye's skeleton body over and over again. Finally, Pang Ye's skeleton body was wrapped in the purple and golden light, being nourished!

Pang Ye slowly woke up from his meditation. He had never felt such warmth all over his body. The joy that came from his heart and body made Pang Ye feel that his skeleton body was even stronger and more solid after this purposeful cultivation. It seemed that this method was feasible. If he cultivated to the extreme, it was not impossible to be reborn with flesh and blood.

With a goal in mind, Pang Ye worked even harder. Zuntian Gong was indeed worthy of being the most extraordinary martial art in the Celestial Realm. Just after such a short period of cultivation, it had brought about earth-shaking changes to Pang Ye. It was not difficult to imagine that if he truly fully understood Zuntian Gong, Pang Ye would not only restore all his cultivation level but also make further progress. Originally, Pang Ye's cultivation level had already reached the limit of the third level of the Divine Realm, and he was one of the top experts in the Celestial Realm. If he made further progress, it was not impossible to reach the realm of the Tianzun.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Ziyi slowly woke up. She was surprised to find that the entire surrounding space was filled with purple and golden light, and it seemed to be flowing rapidly in a certain direction. She couldn't help but feel curious. She turned her head and saw a skeleton emitting purple and golden light sitting cross-legged. The purple and golden light was swirling crazily around the skeleton, which was very strange to her.

"Ah," Fang Ziyi let out a scream and fainted again!

And Xu Feng also woke up at Fang Ziyi's scream. Seeing the strange appearance of Pang Ye's skeleton body, he was filled with fear. But he still stood up tremblingly. Just then, there was a long, strip-shaped stone pillar in a corner of the stone wall. He grabbed it in his hand, and immediately felt much safer. Then he slowly approached Pang Ye until he stood in front of him.

Facing the extremely strange skeleton, Xu Feng let out a loud roar as if he wanted to vent all his endless fear. He held the stone pillar with both hands and used all his strength to smash it towards the skeleton...
