Above all spirits

Chapter 474 Power: Borrowing Life Bone

The power of borrowing life bones is accumulated over time.

At his current peak Demon General level, he can only condense a maximum of three pieces to replace the original bones in his body.

Its function is to absorb all the damage from an opponent's attack and then shatter. Of course, a demon lord-level monster might need to shatter into two or even three pieces.

It can be described as a famous sword.

Moreover, the power of the Life-Borrowing Bone can be passively triggered, making it extremely powerful. In battle, it can even be used to exchange one's life for another, where one is merely a Life-Borrowing Bone, but the other is one's life.

This is one of the reasons why he dared to confront the All-Powerful Demon Horned Demon head-on.

The only drawback is that other abilities cannot be used during combat, otherwise it cannot be triggered.

Otherwise, Mu Wu would rather have used up one of his life-borrowing bones than suffer such a great deal of damage.

Even though the injuries are currently only physical, as long as his soul essence is sufficient, with his peak Demon General rank, he can recover about 70-80% in no time.

but!

Well, as you said, it'll be over in a minute.

No way, bro!

This is what he's worried about. Because of the injuries he's sustained, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he might not even be able to afford to lose three pieces of his life-saving bone.

Having escaped for a time by borrowing the life bone, Mu Wu decisively charged towards the fifth mountain range, even though he was in a state where he would feel excruciating pain if he lifted his arm.

However, Gu Yun seemed unwilling to let him go and kept pressing him.

Compared to my life, this is nothing.

The fifth mountain range is the most chaotic, and the demons in chaotic places are most prone to greed and evil thoughts.

What would happen if a demon carrying a top-tier magical artifact entered such a place?

Mu Wu didn't know that; all he knew was that this was an opportunity.

After all, they were just greedy, not stupid. Gu Yun's current display of power was enough to make people wary.

and.

Thanks to myself.

This amplified the fear to a new level, penetrating even deeper into the hearts of the demons.

However, there is one thing Mu Wu is certain of.

As long as he dares to come in, he will be watched by countless demons, who will never let go of any opportunity to ambush and seize him.

That depends on whether you can create that opportunity.

Have no idea.

This was his only option.

The other mountain ranges definitely wouldn't help him.

Especially the two mountains occupied by the Extreme Emperor Demon Clan, which were almost entirely inhabited by demons or followers of their own faction, and the points were almost predetermined through prior negotiation.

As long as Gu Yun isn't foolish enough to take action against them, they will only stand by and watch, and might even help Gu Yun deal with them, because that might gain Gu Yun's future support.

To gain the support of a demon in his true form—even I would be tempted.

As for the other side, that is, the mountain range where the Blood Sword is located.

To be honest, he had noticed during his fight with Li Xuntian that there were quite a few noises coming from there from time to time, and there was even a moment when a spatial rift appeared.

Although it is only a crack, the space in the upper realm is very stable, and at least the power of a demon lord cannot have a substantial impact on the space.

Obviously.

Those two demons were definitely not beings I could handle.

Going in rashly would be too risky; Mu Wu was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Given the choice between a pack of wolves and two other tigers even more ferocious and brutal than himself, Mu Wu naturally chose the former.

Ultimately, since he doesn't possess any special magical treasures, demons stronger than him might not consider these things, but demons weaker than him will definitely weigh the gains and losses.

While Mu Wu used his power, Ossification, to continuously release bone spikes and bone shields to prevent Gu Yun from getting close to him, he also desperately tried to heal his injuries.

During that time, countless soul crystals were crushed.

He thought he had accumulated a considerable fortune, but he wasn't going to squander it like this, you bastard!

Fortunately, his life-saving ability, the Life-Borrowing Bone, was not triggered again.

We've managed to get through the most difficult time.

All of this is thanks to the true power rule characteristic he has mastered—[Differentiation].

It was only at the moment he grasped the power of the domain that he realized that what he previously thought were the characteristics of power were merely the manifestations of power. Only when he gathered most of the manifestations of a certain power characteristic could he possibly comprehend its true nature.

This is also why Mu Wu mocked Li Xuntian before.

Li Xuntian thought he had mastered many characteristics of the rules of power, but in fact he had not mastered a single true characteristic. It was precisely because of this that he did not possess domain power.

And with the added benefit of the "differentiation" characteristic of the power rules.

Mu Wu can reduce consumption in all aspects, whether it is physical or mental exertion, it will be reduced to a certain extent.

Moreover, the "differentiation" characteristic also helps to balance, break down, and divide forces.

The ability of the six-winged centipede to achieve stable bone dissection and reconstruction is due to this characteristic.

Damn guy!

Mu Wu turned back angrily to look at Gu Yun, who was relentlessly pursuing him.

Once I recover, I will definitely…

for sure.

what.

Thinking of this, Mu Wu's eyes suddenly became somewhat vacant.

What good will it do once I recover?

A demon with its true form.

He might be able to put up a fight, but he has no chance of winning.

It's still the true nature of the rules of death!

While the rules of death are easy to grasp at first, going deeper into them is incredibly difficult.

It is still the most outrageous truth.

It's really incredibly difficult!

Is this something a normal demon could create?

Maybe we should just admit defeat...

Mu Wu began to consider retreating.

Once we recover, we'll seize the fifth mountain range...

"Shh!"

It was just a momentary lapse in concentration.

The bone-chilling blade light, shrouded in wisps of deathly aura, immediately brushed past him, slicing off a corner of his bone armor shoulder guard as easily as slicing fruit.

This scene immediately brought Mu Wu to his senses.

He almost lost another piece of his life-saving bone!

This is not something that can be solved by begging for mercy!

Two figures, one in black and one in white, darted swiftly through the jungle.

Unlike before, the roles of offense and defense are now reversed.

They say fortune turns like a wheel, but it turns too fast; it's only been a fleeting moment.

It's just like in Tom and Jerry, where Tom, chasing Jerry, turns a corner and encounters Spike.

Soon, they approached the foot of the fifth mountain range.

It looked like it only took a few breaths.

God knows how many times they've clashed.

At last.

Gu Yun coldly watched Mu Wu plunge headlong into the fifth mountain range and stopped her pursuit.

Knife up and down.

He shattered the last bone shield blocking his way.

He mentally reviewed the battle, confirming his current combat strength.

for sure.

In a one-on-one situation, he could be completely invincible against a peak-level demon general who had mastered domain power. In close combat, he could even kill his opponent.

but.

If the opponent isn't fighting you but is just running away and wearing you down, it will still be quite difficult for Gu Yun to kill them.

The peak-level demon generals obviously each have their own unique way of surviving, and unless the principles behind them are understood beforehand, it is unlikely that they will succeed on the first try.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, recalling what had just happened.

The initial strike was clearly aimed at the opponent's head, yet he managed to dodge it and escape.

No.

He couldn't dodge it.

It was neutralized by something.

I don't know if it was a magic weapon or something else, but in any case, missing that opportunity allowed the other side to catch their breath.
