As the Universe Turns - Chapter 423
Chapter 423 White Bone City
One day and one night passed, and there was still a strong wind in the cave. Yun Tianzi’s soul struggled and let out a mournful sound. However, Xiao Chen remained unmoved and slowly wiped away his divine sense.
“This old man has merged with your primordial spirit. If you want to refine your primordial spirit as well, then come, hahaha!”
Yun Tianzi let out a miserable laugh and actually escaped into Xiao Chen’s primordial spirit. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s face was extremely pale. If he failed, he might even let Yun Tianzi live with him. Such a result was obviously extremely terrifying.
At this moment, he seemed to have decided on something. He pointed at the space between his eyebrows and sealed all the acupoints in his body to prevent himself from going crazy.
“Brat, are you really not afraid of losing your soul? Are you going to die with me …”
Yun Tianzi seemed to have noticed what he wanted to do and started to feel a little uneasy.
Xiao Chen remained silent. He quickly formed a seal with both his hands and used the Soul Forbidden Technique. At the same time, he also refined the Heart Execution Fire Sacrifice. The purple-black flames immediately enveloped his entire body.
“Ah!”
Yun Tianzi immediately let out a miserable scream. At this moment, his soul was burned by the Heart Execution Flame, and it was far more painful than shattering his physical body.
“Kid … stop! Stop! Ah–”
Yun Tianzi didn’t seem to be able to withstand the burning of the Heart Execution Flame, but he wasn’t the only one who had to endure the pain. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s primordial spirit was also being burned by the Heart Execution Flame, because Yun Tianzi was hiding in the depths of his primordial spirit. Only by burning the Heart Execution Flame would he be able to refine it.
“Boy, you’ll die too! You’ll die too! Ah–”
Yun Tianzi never imagined that he would refine himself in such a way as to burn both jade and stone. For a moment, his mournful voice was endless, and it made his scalp go numb.
However, Xiao Chen ignored it from the beginning to the end. This time, even if he suffered the pain of burning his primordial spirit with the Heart Execution Flame, he would still refine Prince Yun Tianzi’s soul!
Finally, an hour later, Yun Tianzi’s divine sense was already extremely weak. It was like a broken candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time. He knew that he couldn’t escape, so he suddenly laughed miserably, “Kid, I curse your six parents for disillusionment, your betrayal, and your death! Hahahahaha … If you were alive, it would be even more painful than if I died, hahaha …”
The sound gradually faded away. Prince Yun Tianzi’s divine sense had been completely annihilated. It was impossible for him to be revived, nor could he enter reincarnation. It was the same as if there had never been such a person in this world.
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. The two shadows of Heart Execution Fire flashed in his pupils. He heaved a long sigh of relief and finally wiped away Prince Yun Tianzi’s divine sense. Next, he needed to recover.
It was not until the third day that he came out of the cave. It was already dark outside. He raised his palm and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows and shouted, “Yun Tianzi!”
Sure enough, in midair under the curtain of night, Prince Yun Tianzi’s figure responded. It was exactly the same as before, and his aura wasn’t even the slightest bit different. The only difference was that his eyes were empty and he no longer had any thoughts. He was like a puppet, only obeying Xiao Chen’s orders.
Xiao Chen looked at Yun Tianzi. The Secret Dao Soul Forbidden Technique was indeed powerful. Although Yun Tianzi was only a soul body now, he still had the cultivation he had before he died. In the future, he could also increase his cultivation through soul power. As a result, there was an expert at the Lower Profound Realm who could grow beside him.
“Go back.”
With a flick of his sleeve, Yun Tianzi’s figure immediately disappeared into the night. Xiao Chen raised his hand and looked at his palm. Now, there was another powerful trump card in his hand. However, unless he had to, he would not reveal it. He would not let anyone know.
Now that he had succeeded in Daomerge, then the next step would be to transform into a spirit.
Xiao Chen slowly raised his head and stared at the strange mountain peaks in the distance. He would not let go of what happened back then. He would definitely find the murderer no matter how powerful that person was. It would be good if he had someone hiding in Ning Village or hiding in the Immortal Origin Five Domains.
“The day I transform into a god is the day you die.”
…
When Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard, he saw wood chips all over the ground, while Luo Die was sorting out some little people. Xiao Chen stopped at the gate of the courtyard and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Ah?”
Seeing him return, Luo Die hurriedly put away the little people on the ground and shook her head, “No” At this point, when she saw that there was no one behind him, she asked, “Didn’t Sectlord Azure Wave come to find you?”
“Did she come to see me today?”
“Yes.”
Luo Die nodded, “It seems to be about White Bone City. She told me to tell you that everything is ready …”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen didn’t ask any further. The next day, he went to find Saintess Canglang and Xue Wuyue. The three of them knew that he was going to attack White Bone City. In the past three days, they had gathered more than 30,000 people and were ready to leave.
Looking at the crowd at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Chen did not hesitate. The quicker he went to White Bone City, the faster he would be ten days. The slower he would be half a month. There was no time to delay. The sooner the better.
At this moment, the three of them led more than 30,000 people towards Saintess Canglang. This matter undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in the Earth Fiend Domain of White Bone City. Soon, it was already spreading like wildfire, and it was obvious that Tomb of Gods and Demons had already known about it.
However, on the seventh day, there was still no movement from White Bone City, nor did Jian Xuanfeng utter a single word. However, everyone knew that the calmer the water, the more bottomless whirlpools would hide beneath it.
The reason why Jian Xuanfeng didn’t make any moves was that he didn’t put Xiao Chen and the 30,000 people in his eyes at all. Not to mention the Ten Thousand Bone Formation left behind from the ancient times in White Bone City, there were 800,000 cultivators stationed in the city alone. Even Lower Profound realm cultivators had to be polite if they wanted to pass through White Bone City. Why would Jian Xuanfeng fear it?
By the ninth day, White Bone City is right in front of us, As for the front, it was getting colder and colder. That night, Saintess Canglang, Xue Wuyue, and the others felt a little uneasy in their hearts. Even though they knew that Xiao Chen was powerful, they had to face Young Master White Bone City this time. There were 800,000 troops down and a foster father from the Hun Tian Domain up. There were only 30,000 of them here, not enough to be pinched by others. If the old monster didn’t melt down, they would only need to breathe a sigh of relief and 30,000 of them would be gone.
That night, the stars and moons were dim. The cold wind in the forest was rustling, filled with killing intent. Luo Die’s expression was calm, and she was seriously carving a wooden figure in her hand. These days, she was carving these wooden figures along the way. When she looked closely, the wooden figure was carved by Xiao Chen. There were hidden symbols that were vivid and lifelike.
Around midnight, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the forest. Then, two black shadows flashed in. These were the scouts sent by Saintess Canglang earlier. Seeing the two of them return, Saintess Canglang immediately asked, “How is it? Is Jian Xuanfeng already moving?”
“Sect Leader, just now, Junior Sister and I sneaked into the vicinity to investigate. We didn’t discover anything strange. Only the heads of the eighteen people from before were hung on the city wall by them …”
After hearing that, Saintess Canglang tightly pinched his fingers. If there was any movement, it was still reasonable. There was no movement at all. It was simply too strange. He was afraid that Jian Xuanfeng would set up an ambush in the dark. When they passed, they would definitely be caught in one go.
Ning Mei thought for a while. Saintess Canglang walked in front of Xiao Chen and truthfully told her about White Bone City’s situation. After listening to her, Xiao Chen’s face was calm and calm. He waved his hand and signaled for her to step down.
At this time, Luo Die slowly walked up and looked at the heavy atmosphere in the crowd in front of her. She raised her head to look at Xiao Chen and asked nervously, “Did you encounter any trouble?”
Xiao Chen stared at the distant mountain range shrouded in darkness. He shook his head and turned around. He looked at her and said, “Are you well?”
“Mm …”
Luo Die frowned slightly and nodded lightly.
…
The next morning, more than 30,000 people continued their journey. They were getting closer and closer to White Bone City, and the chill in front of them was getting heavier and heavier. In the afternoon, everyone arrived at a wilderness. The sky became dark. The mountains in front of them were endless, and the Yin Qi was heavy. The further they went, the faster the wind became, and it was like a ghost crying, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Chen stopped. The grass in front of him was withered, and the birds and beasts were nowhere to be seen. The hillside was filled with a gloomy breeze, and it was like a ghost crying.
‘”This is an ancient battlefield. It is rumored that hundreds of thousands of people were buried alive here in the past. Now that there are bones everywhere and vengeful souls still lingering, we should be careful. After crossing this mountain, we will be able to see Saintess Canglang in a few hundred miles,” said White Bone City.
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and entered the mountain without saying anything else.
When they arrived at the mountain, the Yin Qi became heavier and heavier. Looking at the white bones all over the ground, for some reason, Xiao Chen suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if the Immortal Primordial Ancient Land had been divided into several pieces during the annihilation of the previous era, causing the terrain to be in complete chaos.
Half an hour later, more than 30,000 people had finally crossed this dark mountain range. As dusk approached, they could already vaguely see the White Bone City in front of them in the twilight.
As he walked closer, he saw that the city wall was about 30 feet tall, and it was actually densely inlaid with skulls. It looked like a devil’s cave, causing his scalp to go numb.
“Stop.”
Saintess Canglang stretched out his hand, causing everyone behind him to stop where they were. Then, he quickly walked forward and looked at the eighteen heads hanging high on the city wall. Finally, he whispered to Xiao Chen, “I’m afraid I’m deceitful. Do I need someone to go over and investigate first …”
“No need.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. Right now, his spiritual sense was sharp. If there was an ambush here, he would not be able to escape from his spiritual sense. But now, this place was quiet. There was indeed no one here, nor was there any restriction trap.
“I am here today to worship the city. May I ask if there is anyone in the city?”
Xiao Chen took a step forward and put his hands behind his back. At this moment, his tone was indifferent. Not long after the words were spoken, a cold and indifferent male voice came from within the city. “Did you bring the 300,000 Devil Origin Stones? If you don’t have them … scram.”
