Chapter 4585: White Bone Staircase
is as clearly as Land Daoist Friend."Xiao Tiannan, seeing Lu Xiaoteng, spoke with a sharp tone, his eyes curiously observing the reactions of several people including the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Vener...Su Qing let out a sharp shriek, the sound waves rippling outwards like countless Void Devouring Ants, gnawing at the skull's head.
In the void, thunder roared, blue and red clouds surged, but Luo潛 and Yunxiao had also made their move. With a clear target in mind, they cleaned up the surrounding skulls at an accelerated pace.
With a deafening BOOM! One of the Ox-Head Skulls exploded, unleashing a black obsidian ghost crystal shaped like an infant's face. It turned into a streak of darkness and attempted to flee.
“Want to leave Stay.” The phantom of the python elder, a gigantic snake, opened its maw. A huge vortex with incredible pulling force engulfed the obsidian ghost crystal, slowing it down.
At the same time, Yun Zhao waved his hand, and several blue-red clouds fell like walls, as if to isolate a cage around them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“Brother Luo, I’ll cover you while you retrieve the Black Obsidian Ghost Crystal!” Su Qing secretly transmitted a voice to Luo Qian. With a flick of her fingers, countless ghostly images of Void-Devouring Ants surged forward, even climbing up the cloud wall. Taking advantage of the Black Obsidian Ghost Crystal's escape, they formed a gigantic ant ball, enveloping the surrounding space within it.
Lu Qian took advantage of the situation and darted into the ant ball. With a reach of his hand, he grasped the black obsidian ghost crystal in his palm.
The Three Ghost Wolves and the Black Robe Golden Embroidered Ghost Demon instantly wore expressions of disappointment. They had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the item, but they didn't expect Luo潛 and Su Qing to cooperate so seamlessly, not giving them any opportunity to exploit the situation.
“Quickly, shatter the Obsidian Ghost Crystal!” The black-robed golden cicada ghost demon roared.
Luo Qian, seeing the Black Obsidian Ghost Crystal in his hand, a horde of skull heads from afar roared and surged towards him, countless and impossible to count. With no other choice, he expelled his internal energy, the Black Obsidian Ghost Crystal shattered with a sound, scattering waves of black ripples that spread outwards. Wherever the black ripples passed, the beams of black light emanating from the skull heads' eye sockets began to dim. For a brief moment, an unexpected peace settled around them.
“Luoshixiong, have you felt anything unusual” Su Qing asked secretly.
“I seem to be able to faintly sense the presence of other obsidian ghost crystals. The black ghost sources contained within those skulls vary in strength. Even if they erupt, it could help me avoid some of the risk. Other than that, there's not much else.” Luo Qian transmitted his voice.

“This is enough, no wonder the three wolves and two demon figures look extremely disappointed.”
"I presume you have already sensed the location of the other obsidian ghost crystals, friend. Quickly lead us to the next place. We must obtain another obsidian ghost crystal before these skulls heads erupt again." The three wolf monsters urged.
"I have sensed it already, but you don't say anything about what this black obsidian crystal is" Luo Qian's expression was calm and composed, showing no sign of agitation.
"Time is of the essence, let's talk in detail when things calm down a bit." The three wolf monsters only urged, they didn't intend to reveal too much to Luo Qian and the others.
“In that case, four of us will be enough. You two can do as you please.” Luo Qian sneered, naturally not being easily fobbed off by the other party.
“You speak well, you clearly have some understanding of this, yet you choose to remain silent. Is it because you think the four of us are easily manipulated” The phantom figure of the old woman’s voice was unkind.
"Let's go, we don't need these two guys. We can resolve the crisis just fine." In front of other ghosts, Yunxiao and Luo Qian, together with four others, entered, consciously excluding the presence of those who also dared to enter the tower.
“We heard about this obsidian ghost crystal from other ghosts, but we’re not entirely sure where it came from. However, we can roughly guess that it has been relying on the obsidian ghost crystal to exist, and after several consecutive failures, there is a certain chance of finding the Xuan Yao Ghost Pool.” The black-robed golden demon sighed, knowing that if he didn't reveal some information, the other party wouldn't pay them any attention.
"It would be great if things were this simple, but it's best to reveal anything you're hiding beforehand. If later on people think you're unreliable and have ulterior motives, don't blame us for not being polite." Su Qing chuckled softly.

Under Luo Qian's leadership, the five quickly moved. Thanks to the effect of the obsidian crystal, they ushered in a rare period of relative peace.
Following the method spoken of by the Black Robes and Golden-Inlaid Ghosts, a group of six traveled, encountering many dangers along the way. The skulls they had collected once again revolted, but luckily, they found other Obsidian Ghost Crystals in time to avert disaster.
After such repetitions ten several times, a line of six people were exhausted. Fortunately, before the last black obsidian crystal was consumed, the surrounding skulls' heads began to thin out. Presented before the powerful warriors were steps, white bone stairs layered upwards, seemingly leading to another layer of the Skull Tower.
"What is this thing again" Su Qing looked at the Black Robe and Golden-Carved Ghost Demon.
“How are we to know, with no way back now, that the obsidian ghost crystal will only allow us to barely survive in the skull head area and not get out of the tower. This bone staircase, while eerie, seems like our only option besides investigating it further.” Three wolf monsters’ heads all bobbed at once.
"I'll go." Luo Qian followed the guidance of the Obsidian Ghost Crystal all the way here, and with Su Qing's cooperation, he basically obtained the Obsidian Ghost Crystal. He also seemed to have a vague sense of it in the depths of this white bone staircase.
“I’m with you.” Su Qing and Luo Qian walked side by side on the bone steps.
The old women and the few others had yet to notice anything amiss. Su Qing and Luo Qing only felt a surge of illusions surrounding them. It was like giant waves crashing, like mountains collapsing, like gentle breezes rustling bamboo—millions of different sounds formed water-like ripples that surged towards them.
Every sound wave feels like being in its own world. Countless sound waves intersecting create a sense of being in multiple worlds at once, as if one's soul is about to split. It leaves one unsure of their exact location.
Luo Qian was startled. He had been walking side by side with Su Qing on the white bone stairs, but he couldn't sense her presence anymore from some point. His eyes swept around, and there was only a path of white bone stairs leading upwards in the empty space. The black-robed golden-carved ghost demons behind him had already vanished without a trace.
Though not a single enemy appeared around him, Luo Qian felt a danger far greater than facing any opponent. If he couldn't shake off the feeling of contradictions and chaos that enveloped him like an infinite world, his primordial spirit would likely be consumed by this internal conflict, eventually becoming just another lifeless corpse on these white bone stairs.
When Yuan Shen died of exhaustion, Luo Qian felt a nameless fear in his heart. This fear wasn't from himself, but from worrying about Su Qing.
With the waving of Luo Qian's thunder gun, a series of thunderbolts exploded in mid-air, creating deafening roars that could easily tear apart a celestial ghost. However, against the surging sound waves, these thunderous blasts were utterly ineffective.Hunsi was severely injured, he still joined the battle without hesitation.If they were ordinary beings with their own will, or if they were not controlled by the winning hook and had control over thei...
