The skeleton panicked, as Li Cheng was impervious to persuasion, and due to the soul's inability to fully fuse with the Divine Bone, it was nearly at its limit.
Moreover, according to Li Cheng, his main body wasn't even capable of defeating him—what was he to do?
Li Cheng had no intention of sparing the avatar of the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor, who had transformed into a member of the Bone Clan, and he didn't believe a word about the secrets of Grand Venerable Bai Jie.
Because for the sake of his daughter, Grand Venerable Bai Jie dared to traverse the Long River of Time, sending his daughter to the future for protection, and if he had been a peerless powerhouse from ages past who entered this era with his Divine Soul, he should have been free of concerns, unbound, in order to return to the peak.
The skeleton's words were no doubt meant to sow discord, seeking revenge for the countless avatars Bai Jie had slain.
