Devour

Chapter 413 Fierce Fight

"That's why all the bones here are incomplete... It's a pity that the Jingtao Sect has been passed down for so many years. The masters of each generation volunteered to enter the coffin to explore the secrets, but in reality they were harvested and used as fertilizer for the bone lotus. Such a great sect has been kept in the dark all this time!"

Cheng Bai gradually deduced the truth and comprehended the cruel reality. Suddenly, he woke up and said, "Only four hundred more are missing. Could it be that the Sword Prison is about to succeed?"

Bei Tingjun peeked at Cheng Bai's expression from between his fingers and whispered softly, "Is it only one Bone Emperor missing to complete the Bone Lotus and reach the twelfth level of perfection?"

The more Cheng Bai pondered, the more he felt that Jian Yu was no good. He quickly reconstructed the entire process in his mind and reasoned, "The Bone Lotus should have grown according to this person's plan, but something went wrong. The Bone Emperor took advantage of the ancient war on Qiongqi Star to collect sword bones, and ended up being sealed away for many years. This is why he was eager to return to the Five Continents, but he was unexpectedly injured by Bo Xuan in the battle at the Snow Fox Palace, which delayed him until now."

The Bone Emperor's deep voice suddenly echoed from the secret realm: "You shameless brat, you are quite clever. You were able to see through my true form. But it's too late!"

"It's not too late! Senior Bone Emperor has not yet transformed into a first-grade Bone Lotus, which shows that Sword Prison is still far from success." Cheng Bai was not intimidated. He calmed his mind and used his spiritual eyes to look at the giant coffin.

At the center of the Bone Lotus, a dark red blood marrow supported a Bone Lotus Platform. Atop this Platform, the Bone Emperor sat majestically, surveying the entire Demon Tower Secret Realm from a high vantage point, his demeanor as if he were in complete control.

The secret realm suddenly shook violently, the waves were extremely chaotic. Without thinking, Cheng Bai hurriedly activated the Shengjin Tower's defense.

Unexpectedly, this time it was not the sarcophagus that generated suction, but someone in the next room was launching a fierce attack, and faint roars could be heard.

Wang Xiongwu was enraged by the fierce battle and shouted, "You dare to tease me again? I'll show you how to break your cheap magic!"

Master Li was confident in dealing with all the tactics, remaining calm and steady. He said, "A scholar is capable of thoroughly understanding the origins of many sword bones. Dissecting them one by one only requires a little effort and time."

The two masters engaged in fierce battles with Gu Lian in different multidimensional spaces, but the specific battle process was beyond the reach of the naked eye.

Li Tong reminded: "Hey! Their voices can be heard over here, which means the dimensional barrier in the secret realm is no longer stable."

The secret realm trembled violently again, as if a powerful force was continuously shaking the entire small world.

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "Master and Venerable Wang are more powerful than us. It seems they are sure to win. Let's just wait for them to break through the core."

Beitingjun dropped his childish pretense, lowered his hands from covering his face, and whispered, "Your Majesty, we've come all this way, it would be a shame to go back empty-handed!"

"Just listen to my instructions. Later, we will do this... this..." Cheng Bai's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind. He planned the battle strategy in an orderly manner.

The Bone Emperor sat firmly on the Bone Lotus Platform, controlling the overall situation. He relied on the magic weapon to create an environment that continuously generated magic power, and barely coped with the siege of two masters from different spaces.

Fighting one against two made him feel very exhausted, as he was at a disadvantage as he had more defense than attack.

The Bone Emperor secretly groaned, racking his brains to reverse the unfavorable situation. "Today's harvest of sword bones is almost sufficient. I just need to hold on for another month or so, and I will arrive to reap the fruits of my cultivation, and I will be completely successful! But who would have thought that we would encounter troubles, and our opponents are more ferocious than the last, and even the immortal weapons can't deter them. What should I do?"

But misfortunes never come singly. A huge gluttonous beast head as big as a mountain suddenly emerged from one of the multidimensional spaces in the secret realm, and leisurely opened its huge mouth to devour the spiritual energy contained in the immortal weapon.

"Oh no! When did the Taotie vision sneak in?" The Bone Emperor couldn't help but panic, and looked carefully to find the root cause. "It turns out that it was a shameless young man who was secretly doing this. He hid it very well!"

Know that the Taotie can devour everything in the universe, and is particularly adept at seizing the essence of spiritual energy. Immortal artifacts contain extraordinary spiritual energy, and deep within them is a trace of immortal energy, making them a truly unparalleled delicacy for the Taotie.

The Bone Emperor fended off the fierce attacks of the two masters in a desperate situation, cursing inwardly: "In the past, anyone who dared to act wild here would have been trapped like a turtle in a jar, put into a coffin on the spot and refined into nutrients for the Bone Lotus..." But things are different now, and he suddenly felt helpless.

Even if the Bone Emperor concentrated all the strength of the entire Bone Prison and the Three Corpses Demon Tower, it would be difficult to compete with the two saints, not to mention that he would have to distract himself to resist the devouring power of Taotie.

At this critical moment, the Bone Emperor's courage grew fierce. "The Bone Lotus hasn't reached its full potential yet, so it can't handle two Heavenly Immortals of the Yan Dao. But this Cheng kid, with his crude cultivation, dares to come and act so presumptuously. I'd better destroy him first, then abandon the Bone Prison and the Three Corpses Demon Tower, and flee with the Bone Lotus. The key to planning for thousands of reincarnation epochs lies in this Bone Lotus, not the immortal artifact's shell. Jing'ao Island is also facing the 'blood erosion', so we can't stay any longer!"

Having made up his mind, the Bone Emperor did not hesitate and instantly appeared in the space where Cheng Bai was with the Bone Lotus.

The eleventh-grade bone lotus bloomed silently, its bony outlines pure and elegant, its pedestal imbued with mysterious power. It emitted a pale glow, illuminating the surrounding eerie skeletons.

Suddenly, all the skeletons in the secret realm shattered and transformed into a powerful spiritual power that rushed towards the bone lotus in the coffin like a surging wave.

"The power is delivered to my door for free." Cheng Bai was delighted to see this. He activated the Taotie vision to intercept some of the spiritual power and swallowed it all up.

"You bastard, you're looking for death!" The Bone Emperor could no longer suppress his anger. He suddenly jumped up from the Bone Lotus Platform. His bone palms flew and emitted sharp sword energy, which shot straight towards Cheng Bai like thunder.

"You skeleton, be quiet!" Bei Tingjun was naturally not idle. He pinched the sword formula and quickly evolved thousands of ice swords, like a group of silver dragons flying into the sky to fight the enemy.

The sword light reflected in the sky, and its shape changed in various ways!

In the blink of an eye, the sword energies of both sides collided violently, and the sharp sounds were like the roars of dragons and tigers.

Bei Tingjun swung his ice sword repeatedly, shattering the blue-gray armor formed by the Bone Emperor's sword energy. Almost simultaneously, the Bone Emperor swung his pale blade in a series of counterattacks, intercepting Bei Tingjun's newly achieved Thousand-Ren Ice Slash in mid-air.

"Hehehe..." Bei Tingjun's laughter echoed like silver bells, and her jade fingers flicked to shoot out several gorgeous ice flowers, which nimbly passed through the opponent's gloomy sword net.

The ice flowers spun rapidly, emitting a deadly cold light, but were suddenly united by the Bone Emperor Sword Formation, transforming into a spiritual mirror and suppressing it. Instantly, the ice flowers shattered and crystal shards danced in the air.

Bei Tingjun pushed his fingers and palms quickly, condensing ice balls like cannonballs, wrapped in a biting gust of wind, and powerfully shattered the bone mirror sword that was shining with dim light.

The Bone Emperor had a solemn expression on his face, and his ten fingers were like hooks, quickly changing the sword formation. The dense sword energy clanged continuously, forming layers of thick shield walls to block the rolling ice ball.

However, the fragments formed by the explosion of the ice ball turned into tiny ice swords, shooting in all directions like meteors, which were even more lethal.

The shield wall was forced to shatter and evolved into strands of sword energy again, which followed the ice sword like a shadow and entangled endlessly.

The two Nirvana Realm masters were of similar strength, and the battle became more and more intense. After fighting for more than a hundred moves, there was still no winner.

The secret realm was repeatedly damaged by external forces. Cracks formed in the space like spider webs, and debris scattered everywhere, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

The Bone Emperor was secretly anxious: "Two ferocious saints are about to break through the dimensional barrier and tear the secret realm apart. We can't delay!"

Cheng Bai took advantage of the fact that the Bone Emperor was overwhelmed and urged the Taotie vision to grow from small to large, suddenly expanding to a size of ten miles!

The massive beast's head was like a black hole sucking in the stars, and spiritual energy surged into its mouth like a tide. Suddenly, Cheng Bai's own power increased at an astonishing rate, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Bone Emperor was shocked by the shifting tide of events, and for a moment, he lost his focus and failed to discern the simulacrum hidden in Bei Tingjun's sword moves. Instantly, with a soft "puff," the ice sword mercilessly pierced his upper abdomen.

"When did this soft and sticky banshee become so advanced? She is still willing to be a running dog of the human race's pretty boy!" Although the Bone Emperor cursed, he immediately wanted to retreat when he saw that the situation was not good.

In order to break free from the grip as soon as possible before the ice sword shaped by Qianren Ice Slash in his abdomen exploded and caused greater damage, the Bone Emperor twisted his body violently, breaking it into two parts.

"Oh no! He has become two." Bei Tingjun had already gained the upper hand, but when he saw the changes in his opponent, he became very wary.

You should know that the Bone Emperor's transformation technique is the most mysterious. Even if he is cut into several pieces, his combat power will increase instead of decrease.

In the late ancient times, this brutal secret technique was renowned among the tribes of the Qiongqi Continent. Many opponents, unaware of the true nature of the technique, mistakenly believed they had won, only to be ambushed and killed by the Bone Emperor's severed limbs.
