Chapter 41: Great Calamity Appears, I Possess Poison Arts!
, a mine collapseIt's hard not to feel a little schadenfreude. After all, who can blame anyone for feeling that way when you consider how Wanjianzong treated Mu Qingyue in the past.However, this demon...Wang Xuan looked, and discovered in the corner of a stone cave in the distance, sat an old man with golden dragon robes and white hair that reached his feet.
"Are you the Xuanjun who, six thousand years ago, swept across the land, expanding your territory with an invincible force" a celestial voice echoed.
The starlight leaned against the boy's bosom, his pale face etched with surprise.
"It was I, back then my courage was nothing to speak of, long ago I had become a prisoner beneath the feet of others." The elder in dragon robes sighed softly, his whole body shrouded in darkness.
Star Painting frowned and looked at Wang Xuan: "Senior Xuan Jun was a legend. Six thousand years ago, his martial arts were unparalleled. He single-handedly killed countless powerful beings, sweeping aside all enemies and bloodwashing the world to achieve imperial power. He was extremely brilliant. It is said that after ascending to the dragon throne, he even purged many of his powerful officials."
"Alas, this old man has done this for the sake of Wu Guo, to stabilize the dynasty. It was a righteous act of killing one's kin. Why would you slander me" The elder explained.
Stargazing doesn't speak in words. Saving or not saving is a matter for the Black Wind, she will listen to the boy's.
Wang Xuan chuckled softly and said, "Next time, wait..."
"Still waiting" Xuan Jun's expression became agitated as he shouted, "Last time you made me wait for a few days, and it took decades for you to come back. I'm really not a bad person, save me and I will definitely repay you with gratitude!"
"You're sick." Wang Xuan picked up Xinghua and walked away.
How old is he, only a few decades
The star painter shakes his head, the generation of overlord is actually crazy.
Perhaps he had killed too many, causing too much suffering. He met a miserable end in his old age.
"I never expected to find the Xuan Jun Guild here after all these years. Xiao Feng, get out of here quickly! I have a bad feeling about this." Xing Hua said in a low voice.
Without needing a reminder, Wang Xuan already felt a strong chill. He immediately ran towards the outside of the cave. As for Xing Hua calling him Xiao Feng, in such a strange place, he no longer cared.
However, just when Wang Xuan was still forty zhang away from the cave entrance, a sudden change occurred. The entire Bone Mountain began to tremble. An indescribable ferocity surged from the pool of water, as if some great terror was awakening.
All the eerie white mist rushed back rapidly, pouring into the pool of water. The entire pool churned and swirled, its menacing energy transforming into a black beam of light that pierced through Gu Shan and shot straight into the sky.
"Quack quack, no one is to escape from under my very nose!" A sinister chuckle drifted through the air.
Wang Xuan's heart tightened. He turned his head back, but saw a black, crystal skeleton slowly floating up from the water of the pool. Circles of black light rotated behind the skeleton, its pressure immense. In the eye sockets of the skeleton burned white flames, and chains wrapped around its bones.
Wang Xuan: This is Nirvana, isn't it
In the next instant, all the chains shattered, and a more terrifying power surged from the bones, shaking the very heavens.
The human martial cultivators and the demonic beasts in the cave were astonished to find that they had regained control of their bodies.
"Quack quack, in order to thank you all for helping this deity break the seal, I bestow upon you freedom. And as a bonus, I shall feast upon you!"
A terrifying ghastly laugh echoed, causing both human cultivators and demon beasts to reveal expressions of pain. Except for Wang Xuan who was bathed in Buddha's light, his soul sea within trembled violently as the heavenly pearl relic shook rapidly.
A stunning face contorted with pain, her hands clutching her head as a single crimson trickle flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Wang Xuan exerted all his effort with his body techniques, feeling that this distance was so long, and he was still five feet away from the cave entrance.
Suddenly, beside the pool.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Xuanjun let out a pained roar, leaping into the air. Black dragon shadows swirled around his body as he charged towards the black crystal skeleton.
It's not just him, all the monsters and beasts will also be slaughtered in a desperate fight to the death.
"Quack quack~ Interesting."
The black, glistening skeleton retracted all its imposing aura. It opened its bone maw and inhaled, and a scene of utter despair unfolded.
Whether it was Xuanjun, whose cultivation was immeasurable and had once subjugated a nation, or the ferocious demonic beasts with overwhelming demonic power, they were all instantly shattered in the pitch-black vortex of suction, turning into billowing blood mud that flew into the skull's mouth!
There was no fighting process, not even a ripple.
"The taste is average." The black skeleton clicked and clacked its bony jaw.
"Mother, run!"
"I don't want to die!!"
"Spare me!!"
The remaining human cultivators, no matter how strong their cultivation base was, were so terrified that their souls almost flew out of their bodies. They peed and pooped themselves, turning around and running away.
At this moment, Wang Xuan finally reached the mouth of the cave. Just as he was about to rush out, with a 'dong' sound, he bumped into a black light curtain and bounced back several steps.
At an unknown time, a black curtain of light rose at the entrance of the White Bone Cave.
Xinghua bit her lip. "It's my fault you got caught up in this."
If it weren't for her, Wang Xuan might not have come here.
Starrygaze looked at the boy's youthful face, her beautiful eyes revealing a complex expression.
Wang Xuen, however, became unusually calm, even with a chill emanating from his body.
Despair and fear are useless, even if he knows he's outmatched, he will not give up! Even if gods and demons descend upon the world, he will not surrender!
He laid down his star painting, supported her waist with one hand, and drew a long sword with the other. His aura rose steadily, his Dao Eyes opened, boosting his power threefold. A faint image of a great river appeared behind him.
With one sword strike, the momentum was unstoppable. The sword light flashed across the sky, heading straight towards the black curtain of darkness.
"Quack quack~Useless, you're all going to die, this is the gift I bestow upon you~"
The Black Crystal Skeleton grinned, vanished beneath the surface of the pool, and reappeared behind a human warrior. Its bone claws pierced deep into the warrior's back, ripping out a heart drenched in blood.
'
“Boom!”
'
Like the might of a river of swords, it slashed against the black curtain. A deafening roar erupted, but the curtain remained unbroken.
Wang Xuan's face turned cold as he retracted his sword. The black light curtain only rippled slightly before returning to normal.
"I can still wield some martial power. Let's see if I can break through this barrier."
Wang Xuan shook his head: "It's useless, this prohibition is connected to its evil arts. It's just playing tricks. No matter how strong the attack, it will only be a hair's breadth away from breaking through, unless your cultivation surpasses it."
Wang Xuan's heart sank as he considered his options, reaching for his storage pouch.
He looked back, everyone was fleeing for their lives, and the White Bone Venerable appeared terrifyingly like teleportation, flashing behind each martial cultivator one after another, laughing constantly, taking out a person's heart.
It was indeed mocking everyone. It could have swallowed all their life force with a single mouthful, but it gave them a sliver of hope for escape.
But it offered no hope of escape, the entrance sealed shut, leaving everyone to be killed off one by one like ants.
Stargaze's eyes beheld this scene, her jade hand clenched tight. She was making her final stand, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.
Blackwind was implicated because of her. She could die, but he had to do everything he could to protect the boy.
As Xinghua was mobilizing the qi sea primordial source and soul sea, a voice rang out from the young man: “Stand behind me.”
Wang Xuan said coldly, it seems like we can only gamble this time, using that thing that has been in the storage bag.
With both hands pinching incantations before him, Wang Xuan's face quickly paled, his hair fluttering upwards. His eyes, fixed on the White Bone Venerable, were filled with murderous intent.
With my current martial arts skills offering no hope, I can only rely on it.
A finely crafted, small wooden box appeared before Wang Xuan. His hands flashed with streaks of talismans as terrifying cold air spread from within the box, spreading extreme cold and frost towards all directions and the white bone cave ahead.
"Born of nothing, dying into nothing, the Nine Nether Ice-Frost Lotus! Unseal!" The boy's voice echoed.
Under the gaze of stars painted behind him, the boy's hair gradually turned ice blue, and an inexplicable ripple arose around him.
What is this!
Xinghua's eyes flickered, momentarily halting the activation of her origin self-destruction.
A small floating cube appeared, riddled with cracks from which beams of piercing blue light shot out. These froze the primal energy of this bone cave, freezing the dust itself. It seemed that anything touched by these beams would be frozen solid, and they were heading straight for the black crystalline skeleton ahead.
"Eh Using one's body as a poison vessel! The frigid and sinister Nine Nether Cold Poison!” A black crystal skeleton, which was hunting members of the Killing Clan, had its eye sockets’ evil fire flicker wildly. Its bones ignited with white flames...s cauldron emitting flames is undoubtedly the Divine-Burning Cauldron!"As expected of a former Divine Soul, even after falling to the King rank, it is still exceptionally spiritual."A divine-grade spi...
