"Whitey is so powerful!" Xuanyue murmured. It had only been a few years, but Blackie and Whitey had become so powerful.
The Dark Queen extended her hand in vain. Her mind was a mess. Did I make a mistake? Could it be that the throbbing in my heart was just an illusion? If it wasn't her, why would she save me? If it's really her, why doesn't she acknowledge me? Why doesn't she call me 'mother'? Does she still hate me? "
A trace of confusion and sorrow appeared in the depths of the cold and noble Princess's eyes!
Only when the fire reached the sky did they come back to their senses. They saw a white figure flying freely above the sea of corpses, waving the blood-colored banner, sweeping everything before him!
This was her current strength!
The Marquis of Ruyi shuddered inside. How can I defeat an opponent like that? Even if I mobilize all the cultivators of the Ruyi commandery, can I succeed?
Actually, the Samādhi Flames of White Bone were only extremely effective against corpses and ghouls. Against cultivators, especially Golden Core cultivators, it was not necessarily that powerful. However, the Marquis of Ruyi had experienced life and death constantly, so his mind had already become a mess. He had been viciously frightened.
As for the other Golden Core cultivators, they didn't even have the time to rejoice at surviving the calamity. Looking at this terrifying scene that seemed like the end of the world, all of them were dumbfounded.
The flames did not differentiate between friend or foe. They also had to circulate their spiritual qi to protect themselves. A Golden Core cultivator had already reached the end of his rope under the encirclement of the Corpse Commanders, almost blowing up his golden core. When the Samādhi Flames of White Bone touched him, he also began to burn with a boom.
"I can't accept this. I've planned for so long, yet I was defeated by a ridiculous legend!"
"Zi 'er" folded her arms and soared into the sky. He charged towards Little Ann.
A colossal figure blocked her way like a mountain. It was the Void-bellied Ghost King that the Dark Queen had summoned. It gazed down at "Zi 'er" from above as it swung its huge hand towards "Zi' er" viciously.
"Zi 'er" crossed her arms in a defensive stance, as if the sky had collapsed. An unparalleled force came over. He was sent flying.
She was only a Corpse Commander in the first place. Now that the corpse army had been destroyed by Little Ann, she had nothing else she could borrow. He was obviously not the Dark Queen's opponent.
The Void-bellied Ghostly King took a step forward and stomped down on 'Zi Er'.
Boom!
Rocks flew everywhere and the earth cracked. A deep pit was formed.
"Zi 'er" was pulled away by the black smoke on her back. She had just escaped death. Wind and fire attacked from the left and right. Gu Yanying and Li Qingshan brushed past each other.
"Zi 'er" twisted her body violently and fell downwards. Her right hand sizzled as it was burned by the phoenix flames, and a bloody scar was left on her face.
The black smoke on her back was suddenly cut off. She blinked her eyes as if she had woken up from a dream. He closed his eyes again, spread his arms, and fell into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.
At this time, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts had already turned into a giant abyss. He disappeared without a trace.
Gu Yanying looked back and smiled. "It's fantastic that her highness the Dark Queen is safe and sound."
The Dark Queen nodded. "I've troubled you, sister." Her gaze shifted and landed on Li Qingshan.
In that moment, Li Qingshan felt like the gaze had pierced him. It was the Void-bellied Ghost King behind the Dark Queen. It seemed like it could slap him at any time.
The Dark Queen shifted her gaze away very soon and exhaled gently. "Let's seal off the Gate of Hungry Ghosts first!" She would never stop until she received a satisfactory outcome anyway.
"Don't you even think about it!"
A dry, ear-piercing voice rang out, echoing through the Gate of Hungry Ghosts and reaching into the sky.
Boom! A huge, withered hand extended out of the abyss, gripping the edge of the pit. With a push, a colossal figure leapt out.
Li Qingshan finally saw the Corpse King's appearance. At first glance, it seemed no different from a human corpse, but it was countless times larger. Vicious bone spikes protruded from its body, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.
Due to the restraints of the power of the domain, only half of its body extended out of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, but it was still as tall as a small mountain. The black corpse qi that coiled around it was like the mist that lingered around the mountains. Its eyes that resembled small lakes shone with a brutal, green light as it stared at the Void-bellied Ghost King viciously and swung out violently.
Four streaks of brutal, black light tore through the sky, but they were aimed at Little Ann in the distance. What he felt the greatest threat from was not the woman before him who could control Ghost Kings, but the tiny skeleton. As long as he killed it, the several dozen Corpse Commanders under his command could break free.
An even larger mountain blocked the Corpse King's path. The Void-bellied Ghost King forcefully endured the streaks of black light and took a few steps back. A few sharp claw marks appeared on its body as it threw a punch with a furious roar.
On the barren land, a corpse and a ghost, two colossal beings, stood where they were without dodging at all. They attacked each other furiously. One was unable to dodge, while the other was protecting the "person" behind it.
Li Qingshan was shocked by this sight too, as if he had returned to the primordial battlefield of gods and demons, only to see the Void-bellied Ghost King rapidly dim after suffering a few blows.
However, the Corpse King grew more and more valiant as it fought. It was unable to break free from the power of the domain and arrive here from the Hungry Ghost realm. However, its strength could not be compared to a Ghost King under the control of a second heavenly tribulation cultivator who had lost its consciousness. As long as it lasted a little longer, the Gate of Hungry Ghosts would completely devour this region. By then, this would be its world!
"Your highness, I'll assist you!" The Marquis of Ruyi called out. The Seal of Mountains and Rivers expanded to its limit and smashed towards the Corpse King.
The Corpse King forcefully endured the Void-bellied Ghost King's palm strike and threw a punch back at the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. The Seal of Mountains and Rivers was directly knocked several dozen kilometers away. It became riddled with cracks and grew dimmer and dimmer.
The Marquis of Ruyi spat out a mouthful of blood violently. He wiped his mouth and mobilized the Seal of Mountains and Rivers again like a madman, smashing it down.
Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying flew through the air, unleashing streaks of wind and fire. Compared to the Corpse King, they were like two tiny moths, constantly lingering around. The phoenix flames and atmospheric winds both possessed great destructive power. However, with the Corpse King's colossal body, all it left behind were burns and cuts.
The other cultivators also understood that they had reached the final juncture. Whether they lived or died would be determined by this battle, so they all rushed over.
At this moment, Li Qingshan sensed an omen of extreme danger. He flapped his wings madly and circled around as he flew towards the sky.
… …
The Samādhi Flames of White Bone swept through the entire region. Not a single Corpse Soldier or Corpse General was spared, while the Corpse Commanders were all sucked into the Blood Sea Banner. The Blood Sea Banner constantly twisted and surged as if it could rip apart at any time.
Although the Blood Sea Banner had already become even more powerful, it was still rather difficult to suppress several dozen Corpse Commanders.
The surging Samādhi Flames of White Bone swept back, pouring into the skull at the top of the Blood Sea Banner. From top to bottom, it passed through the spine, ribs, and tailbone. The flagpole made of bone received a brand new look, becoming even more shiny and glossy, supporting the Blood Sea Banner.
In the past, when she refined the Blood Sea Banner, she had only barely succeeded, as she did not have enough corpses. She did not even have enough for herself, let alone supplying the Blood Sea Banner.
But now, just the Corpse Soldiers she had refined numbered close to ten million.
Before "Zi 'er" had appeared, several million Corpse Soldiers had already surged out of the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. Although they had all been slain or even crushed to smithereens by the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, their corpses still remained on the ground.
Little Ann accepted them all without any wastage at all. The problem of not having enough corpses did not exist at all. He refined the Blood Sea Banner once more, reaching its current peak.
Then he powered the Samādhi Flames of White Bone, which swept over and turned into a fire tornado, pouring into the top of his head. His bones were like a sponge, absorbing the flames madly, sucking in all the flames within a range of several dozen kilometers. Just Now, he was satisfied, so he stopped absorbing.
The lustre of every single bone was like the Samādhi Flames of White Bone, possessing an almost transparent, glossy whiteness. He had finally pushed the first layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty to the limit, but he had also reached a new bottleneck. If he wanted to break through, not only did he need tremendous amounts of corpses, but he also needed a deeper comprehension of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
The Skull Prayer Beads were the same. After refining the twenty-six Skull Prayer Beads to the peak, he struggled to break through to the twenty-seventh. As it seemed, he could only refine them after reaching the second layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
Once he reached the twenty-seventh bead, the overall strength of the Skeleton Demons would undergo a qualitative breakthrough.
By then, any single Skeleton Demon would be able to contend against a Golden Core cultivator. And, the Skeleton Demon Formation they assembled together would be even more powerful. It could directly sweep through all opponents at the Second Heavenly Tribulation.
The Blood Sea Banner began to flutter again. The Corpse Commanders were currently working together to charge out. Little Ann tossed the twenty-six Skull Prayer Beads into it, assembling the Skeleton Demon Formation and temporarily suppressing them and buying them time.
Little Ann raised the white bone sword in his hand high into the air, pointing it at the sky as he chanted the scripture inside.
With the tip of the sword as the centre, the raging flames began to revolve violently, forming a huge vortex that expanded outwards and filled the entire sky.
A stream of fire flowed into the tip of the sword.
The white bone sword that was less than a meter in length was like a bottomless pit, swallowing the raging flames like a whale.
The most powerful weapon in the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was neither the Blood Sea Banner nor the Skull Prayer Beads, but the "Buddha Slaying sword".
Buddhahood, the perfection of enlightenment, was the highest level of enlightenment in buddhism. It transcended beyond the six realms, no longer within the five elements. It possessed boundless power and infinite wisdom.
Even the creator of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was only bold enough to refer to himself as the "White Bone Bodhisattva". He did not have the right to be called the "White Bone Buddha". However, he had named the sword "Buddha Slaying". This was both his ambition and proof of the sword's power.
The Samādhi Flames of White Bone transformed from millions of Corpse Soldiers and thousands of Corpse Generals all merged into the white bone sword, leaving nothing behind.
The sea of corpses vanished. The flames vanished, but the world did not clear up. The sky was dusky, enveloped by a never-dispersing mist.
The white bone sword did not undergo any startling changes. It only grew slightly longer. As a matter of fact, its overall shape was even rougher than the original white bone sword.
Had the forging failed?
Little Ann stared at the sword in his hand, and a hint of joy appeared inside. The Buddha Slaying sword in his hand could not even be regarded as "elementary", barely forming a sword embryo.
