As the Universe Turns - Chapter 458
Chapter 458 White Bone Flag
“Shit …”
Xiao Chen immediately knew that something was amiss. With a movement of his body, Ling Xian Step instantly unfolded. At this moment, four ghost eyes simultaneously shot out a ray of blood light at him. Four rays of blood light collided with each other, carrying a heaven-shaking might. Following a “rumble”, everything in the area he had just been in turned into powder.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
In the blink of an eye, the four ghost eyes attacked again. Xiao Chen had no choice but to rush towards the valley ahead. Seeing the four ghost eyes chasing after him, he shouted, “Yun Tianzi!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if Yun Tianzi had been summoned from the Nine Nether Realm. In an instant, he blocked behind him. The four streaks of deathly blood shot out from midair and struck Yun Tianzi’s body. Such terrifying power, but Yun Tianzi was actually fine.
“Drink!”
Yun Tianzi’s face was deathly lifeless. He shouted in a low voice, and then he struck out with his palm. “Boom!” Dust rose everywhere, and the four ghost eyes were pushed back by him.
“Fiend Fiend! Fiend Fiend Fiend!”
The four ghost eyes in midair seemed to be enraged, but it was as if they couldn’t see Yun Tianzi. Blood light continued to shoot out, but none of them could hit Yun Tianzi. Even if they did, Yun Tianzi would be fine.
“How could this be? Could it be …”
Xiao Chen’s expression froze. At this moment, he seemed to understand something. Although this ghost eye was powerful, it could not see dead objects. The attack was also ineffective against dead objects. Yun Tianzi had long since died. Now, he could not even be considered a soul body like Ku Lingzi. Therefore, these ghost eyes could not see him at all, just like mortals could not see ghosts.
“Wuwu … Wuwu …”
Perhaps the commotion here was too big, attracting many of these Death Ghost Eyes. In a short moment, countless bloody eyes appeared in the air. These eyes could hide in the wind, almost disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. Although these ghost eyes couldn’t see Yun Tianzi, they could easily see him. Only death … yes! Death Qi!
At this moment, he thought of a countermeasure. His hands formed seals, and in an instant, he controlled life and death. A surge of death energy immediately enveloped his entire body.
The surroundings became quiet. The restless ghost eyes in the air suddenly stopped or slowly floated in the air. Sure enough, they couldn’t see him anymore.
“Looks like that’s true.”
Xiao Chen’s heart finally relaxed. Right now, his entire body was shrouded in a deathly aura. He was like a “dead person”, so these ghost eyes couldn’t see him anymore.
A moment later, the ghost eyes in the sky slowly disappeared and hid in the wind again. Xiao Chen recalled Yun Tianzi and pondered for a moment. He seemed to have thought of a way to deal with Unbreakable Bones.
The strong winds in the valley ahead were cold, and there were even more of these Death Ghost Eyes hidden within. A cold smile appeared on his face, and his figure moved, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
When he arrived at the valley, the cold wind whistled. Xiao Chen did not dare to withdraw the death aura from his body. Otherwise, those Death Ghost Eyes that were hidden in the wind would instantly appear and cause him a fatal blow.
After walking for more than ten li, he discovered that a large amount of demon origin energy had condensed in the valley. This demon origin energy was extremely rare. If a cultivator cultivated here, their cultivation would definitely be able to reach a thousand li a day.
Even if he cultivated here, especially if he used the mental techniques in the remnants of the Heavenly Book, his cultivation would still advance by leaps and bounds. As long as he had enough time to cultivate here, it was not impossible for him to comprehend the Soul Formation in one go. However, if he absorbed the devil origin energy, it might cause him to enter the Devil Realm.
After staying here for a while, Xiao Chen finally left. Although the devil origin energy here could greatly increase his cultivation in a short period of time, he did not want to be enchanted by it. He did not want to wait for Wei Yang to wake up in the future and see what he would look like after being enchanted.
Originally, he had cultivated the Heavenly Book Fragment Scroll and the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Profound Techniques for all these years, and there were signs of him becoming enchanted from time to time. The reason why he was able to remain unenchanted was precisely because he cultivated Ling Yin’s Jade Light Heart Technique at the same time, coupled with the fact that the Xuan Qing True Technique was also a rare Profound Heart Technique.
After walking forward for a while, Xiao Chen found a cave. This time, he didn’t withdraw his aura anymore, so that he wouldn’t be able to lure the bones to this valley. After he was ready, he started circulating his cultivation in the cave to recover.
One day passed. By noon, he had almost recovered. At this moment, a divine sense finally reached out from outside the valley. It was obvious that he was chasing after him. Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and smiled coldly in his heart. He was just waiting for you to come over.
Outside the valley, Boneless looked exceptionally cautious. Perhaps he had been overshadowed by Xiao Chen too many times in the past few days. This time, when he saw that the other party did not run or hide, he naturally thought that there was a trick involved.
“Why doesn’t this kid run away this time?”
Boneless’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn’t dare to enter the valley so easily. However, after thinking for a long time, how could a dignified Soul Formation cultivator fear a small Nascent Soul junior? It was a joke to say it out loud.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. With a swipe of his finger, he covered his body with a layer of True Qi and immediately flew into the valley.
Inside the valley, Boneless’s eyes turned cold. His voice was even more gloomy and frightening, “Brat, are you not going to escape this time?”
“Run?”
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the cave. He calmly said, “I think it should be Senior who escaped.”
“What are you talking about?”
Boneless’s eyes turned cold. At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something unusual. However, it was already too late. Suddenly, many ghost eyes of death appeared in the air. They were dripping with blood. They were extremely terrifying.
“This is!”
Bu Hua Gu was suddenly shocked. Before he could finish speaking, countless streaks of blood light had already shot towards him. Fortunately, he reacted in time and instantly transported his True Essence to block it. However, even so, he was still sent flying by the terrifying blood light.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
When Ghost Eye saw the living person, he became incomparably frantic, continuously shooting a bloody light of death towards Unmelted Bone.
Bu Hua Gu’s expression was shocked. He didn’t know what the hell these things were. He wanted to escape, but he discovered that there were all these bloody-eyed monsters in the air. They were so dense that he simply couldn’t fly out.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly. He had condensed a layer of Death Qi on his body, so these ghost eyes couldn’t see him. However, they couldn’t see the mystery behind this. Otherwise, as long as his palm shattered the Death Qi on his body, he would also suffer.
However, Xiao Chen could not be ignored now. These Death Ghost Eyes were extremely terrifying. Even after killing some, more Ghost Eyes appeared, causing him to be in a hurry. Once he was shot by the bloody light, even if he didn’t die, he would still be injured.
Moments later, it was getting harder and harder to resist without melting bones. Not only were these ghost eyes inexhaustible, they were gathering more and more. At this moment, he was in an extremely sorry state. He had been shot several times by the bloody light from the ghost eyes, and his body was already covered in flesh and blood.
Xiao Chen stood in the distance. At this moment, a trace of cold killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. With his two fingers together, a needle with a burst of cold light had appeared between his fingers. It was precisely the Ninety-Nine Blood Transformation Needles that Shen Jing had given him back then. Now, there were fifty-nine needles left.
“Whoosh!”
With a gust of wind, the Blood Transforming Needle shot towards the back of Unbreakable Bone’s head. However, at this moment, Unbreakable Bone sensed killing intent. He raised his hand and blocked the incoming Blood Transforming Needle. With a “chi” sound, the Blood Transforming Needle accurately shot into his arm from the center of his palm.
“Ah!”
Unmelted Bone immediately let out a heart-tearing scream. In this instant, his arm actually lost consciousness, and this numbness quickly spread throughout his entire body.
Bu Hua Gu’s expression changed drastically. He immediately knew that he had been hit by an extremely powerful hidden weapon. His right fingers sealed off all the acupoints in his left arm in an instant. Only then did he stop the Blood Transformation Needle from spreading in his body. However, his left arm was probably crippled.
“Kid, I’ll kill you!”
Bone Transformation’s eyes were about to split apart, and his expression became extremely terrifying. Before he could finish speaking, he had already struck Xiao Chen with his palm. How could a Soul Transformation cultivator’s palm be idle? Before Xiao Chen could react, a strong wind had already lifted him, causing him to suffocate. Before he could block it, he was knocked flying backwards by the terrifying palm force.
At this moment, Xiao Chen only felt his internal organs split apart. His muscles and bones seemed to have been broken inch by inch. He forcefully withstood a blow from a Soul Formation cultivator. If he hadn’t been using the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique to protect his body, his palm strike just now would have caused him to be completely annihilated.
“Shit …”
Even though the palm strike did not cause him any serious injuries, it scattered the death aura on his body. In a short period of time, he was unable to condense the death aura again. Without thinking for a moment, he instantly took a blink of an eye and disappeared into the distant horizon.
Bu Hua Gu was just about to chase after him when a deathly bloody light shot out from before him, hitting him in the chest with a “bang”, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
Countless Ghost Eyes of Death suddenly appeared in the surroundings. Boneless’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into an icy cold abyss. This was the first time he felt that death was so close to him.
Just as the countless ghost eyes were about to smash him to pieces, he bit the tip of his tongue and condensed his blood essence into his fingertips. Then, he pushed it between his eyebrows and said, “Bone Demon! Save me!”
“Trash …”
A gloomy voice sounded out from nowhere. Immediately after, a black shadow flew out from above his head. The black shadow turned into a black mist that instantly enveloped Boneless’s entire body. Then, with a loud “rumble”, the valley shook and the earth trembled. The black shadow actually blocked the attacks of all ghost eyes for Boneless.
When the black shadow gradually solidified, it turned out to be a black banner. There was a skeleton on the banner, and its eyes shone with a dense bloody light. It did not fear these ghost eyes at all.
“Hmph! I didn’t expect that you would still be so useless after giving you the cultivation of Soul Formation. Even a tiny Nascent Soul cultivator can make you look so miserable. What a useless piece of trash …”
An exceptionally cold voice came from the white bone flag.
