Shi Ming!
A crisp sound suddenly rang out, causing everyone, including the skeletal old man and even Ning Yue, to look over.
Hu! Hu!
On the other side, the Dark Emperor and Furball slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Their tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
On the surface, the cultivation of the Dark Emperor and Furball did not increase significantly. They were still at the half-step Manifestation Realm.
However, the strength of the Dark Emperor and Furball had increased qualitatively.
Apart from the Dark Emperor and Furball themselves, no one knew how much terrifying energy was in their bodies.
In short, a large portion of the energy produced by the gigantic skeleton of the Sky-Devouring Hound was lying dormant in their bodies, slowly being refined.
Once all of this energy was refined by them, their cultivation would soar like a rocket!
By conservative estimates, the Dark Emperor and Furball would both advance to the Manifestation Intermediate Stage, or even the Manifestation Advanced Stage.
"Humph! After devouring so much energy, your cultivation is still at the half-step Manifestation Realm. What trash! "
Sensing the aura emitted by the Dark Emperor and Furball, the skeletal old man snorted coldly and dashed out.
The skeletal old man was very fast. In order to reach the Dark Emperor and Furball as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to burn his blood essence to increase his speed.
"Not good!"
While Ning Yue's attention was still on the Dark Emperor, the skeletal old man swept past him and dashed straight for the Dark Emperor.
"Solitaire!"
At the crucial moment, Ning Yue waved the Red Demon Sword and slashed out a shocking sword wave.
Chi chi!
The sword wave was not slow either. As it rubbed against the air, it produced a sizzling sound.
However, no matter how fast the sword wave was, it was still half a beat too slow.
Before the sword wave could catch up to the skeletal old man, the skeletal old man's fists had already landed on the Dark Emperor and Furball.
Pa pa!
Two muffled sounds rang out.
Immediately, the skeletal old man retreated as if he had seen something terrifying.
Puff!
The direction in which the skeletal old man retreated happened to be the direction where Solitaire came from.
Without a doubt, the skeletal old man was stabbed in the back by Solitaire, and his aura instantly dropped from the half-step Supremacy realm to the peak of the Creation realm.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The skeleton's energy is mine. How could you guys devour it?" The skeletal old man spat out a mouthful of blood and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Nothing is impossible."
Ning Yue kept the Red Demon Sword and instantly flew to the Dark Emperor's side. He stared at the skeletal old man and said, "The Dark Emperor is a Purple Gold Heaven Devouring Hound. It is only natural that he would be able to devour the skeleton's energy."
"On the other hand, you're not a Heaven Devouring Hound. You're delusional enough to want to devour the energy within the skeleton. You're lucky that you didn't get killed on the spot by the backlash, yet you're delusional enough to want to refine all of us."
"Humph! If it wasn't for the fact that my combat power wasn't at its peak, I would've killed all of you long ago, and there wouldn't have been so many things after that. "
The skeletal old man snorted coldly and said sinisterly, "As the saying goes, the mountains will never change. In the future, we will have … Pfft!"
However, before the skeletal old man could finish his sentence, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and his aura dropped from the peak of the Creation realm to the late-stage of the Creation realm.
"Dark Emperor, I'll leave the skeletal old man to you. Let's go out first."
Ning Yue first said to the Dark Emperor before his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The Silver Winged Dragon and the Twin Horned Beast followed closely behind Ning Yue, tearing through the void and disappearing.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
Not long after Ning Yue left the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Hound, the skeleton let out a kacha kacha sound.
A moment later, the huge skeleton turned into nothingness and completely disappeared from the world.
The Dark Emperor and Furball appeared at the location where the skeleton was.
"My God, Furball, your cultivation has actually advanced to the early-stage of the Creation realm?"
What shocked Ning Yue was that the Dark Emperor and Furball's cultivation had both advanced to the early-stage of the Creation realm.
After devouring so much of the skeleton's energy, the Dark Emperor and Furball did not advance. He did not expect that after devouring the skeletal old man, they would actually break through their limits and advance to the early-stage of the Creation realm.
"Ning Yue, we need to go into seclusion and refine the enormous energy in our bodies."
The Dark Emperor leaped to Ning Yue's side and said.
"How long do you need to go into seclusion?" Ning Yue asked.
"About a day or so." The Dark Emperor replied, "If everything goes well, we will be able to advance to the mid-stage of the Creation realm in a day."
"If it doesn't go well," Ning Yue asked again.
"If it doesn't go well, it will take about three days." The Dark Emperor explained, "The energy in the Heaven Devouring Hound's skeleton is simply too enormous. If I don't refine it, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it."
"It might not be a good time to go into seclusion now."
Ning Yue frowned and said, "This place is not safe. Let's leave now and go into seclusion when we reach a safe place."
Since the skeletal old man was in the hall, it meant that this hall was the territory of the Corpse Yin Sect.
Who knew if there were other experts of the Corpse Yin Sect.
If the Dark Emperor was in seclusion here and the experts of the Corpse Yin Sect came over, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in a jar?
One had to know that once one went into seclusion, they could not be disturbed.
Otherwise, they would be seriously injured, and at worst, they would die from the backlash.
"Hurry up and leave, we can't suppress it for long." The Dark Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, we can't suppress it for long, so there's no need to."
Just as the Dark Emperor's voice fell, a faint laugh came from outside the hall.
Immediately, a group of eight cultivators appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The leader was an old man at the peak of the Creation realm.
At this moment, a smile appeared on the old man's face as he said indifferently, "It just so happens that I'm about to advance to the half-step Sovereign realm. After refining you guys, I can naturally advance to the half-step Sovereign realm."
"You want to refine us?"
Feeling the aura emitted by the old man, Ning Yue raised his brows and said coldly, "The skeletal old man's cultivation was half-step Sovereign realm, and even he was killed by us. Do you think your strength is comparable to the skeletal old man?"
"The skeletal old man was killed by you guys?"
Hearing Ning Yue's words, the old man's expression changed greatly.
When he entered the hall, the old man was a little confused as to why he did not see the skeletal old man.
Now that he heard Ning Yue mention it, the old man released his perception to look for the skeletal old man.
This search caused the old man's expression to change greatly, revealing a terrified expression.
The skeletal old man's cultivation was half-step Sovereign realm, and he was refining the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog in the hall.
If the skeletal old man was killed by this kid, wouldn't that mean that the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog was also taken away?
"Where's the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog!"
The old man scolded in a deep voice.
Compared to the skeletal old man being killed, the old man was more worried about the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog.
This time, the headquarters of the Corpse Sect had sent a total of two cultivators that surpassed the Creation Realm to the Great Xia Kingdom.
The first was the skeletal old man, who was half-step Sovereign realm. He was tasked to refine the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog in hopes of advancing to the Sovereign Realm.
The other was a Second Grade Sovereign, the Venerable Corpse Dragon!
The reason why the Venerable Corpse Dragon was willing to give the skeletal old man the energy of the Heaven Devouring Dog was because the latter had given him the materials that he had prepared over the years, and even promised to give him the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog.
With the materials and the skeleton of the Heaven Devouring Dog, the Venerable Corpse Dragon could even refine a Second Grade Sovereign Realm puppet!
