634: One trick to eat all the delicacies in the world

"Lead the way!"

Venerable Dry Bones was currently consumed by rage, wanting nothing more than to capture the Mad Extreme Demon Lord immediately and grind his bones to ashes; he had no time to ponder the oddities of the situation.

Old Black Mu immediately transformed into a streak of black Evil Qi light, rapidly chasing in the direction Yao Delong had previously departed.

Venerable Dry Bones followed closely behind, his Evil Qi surging heavenwards!

A thousand miles away.

Yao Delong, who had transformed into an ordinary evil cultivator with a sallow face and a cold aura,

was flying unhurriedly toward the nearest demonic city, "Skeleton City."

He was calculating in his heart how to use Skeleton City's teleportation array to quietly return to the Hegemonic Summer Dynasty.

The teleportation array in Fengdu City had been destroyed, so he had to find another path.

Suddenly!

The "Heart Sword Mark" he had left deep within Old Black Mu's Primordial Spirit emitted a sudden and intense resonance!

Moreover, it was rapidly approaching his current location at an extremely high speed!

"Hmm?" Yao Delong's brow furrowed slightly.

"Is it Little Black? Or Heavenly Cherry? Such urgency... there must have been a change!"

He instantly dismissed the idea of entering the city, turned his body, and transformed into a streak of light that merged into the shadows,

galloping back toward the source sensed by the Heart Sword Mark without hesitation!

On the other side, Old Black Mu, who was flying at high speed, was secretly complaining in his heart:

'Damn it! I've been chasing for nearly two thousand miles, why haven't I sensed Master's exact position yet?

This Heart Sword Mark can only indicate the general direction... Master couldn't have used a long-distance teleportation talisman to run away directly, right?

Sigh, why didn't I think of leaving a more precise communication mark back then!'

Just as he was feeling anxious!

Buzz—!

The Heart Sword Mark deep within his Primordial Spirit suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly blazing light!

It was as if a small sun was burning! An incredibly clear thought of "He's nearby" was transmitted!

"Eh?!" Old Black Mu was both surprised and delighted!

But even as he scanned the surrounding Void Realm with all his Divine Thought, he found not even a silhouette, only the sky full of Yin-Evil Devilish Qi and barren mountains!

'Could it be that Master used some clever transformation technique again? Even I can't detect him?'

"Martial Nephew Mu!"

Venerable Dry Bones had long since become impatient; after chasing for over a thousand miles, he hadn't seen a single ghost of a person.

His cold gaze scanned the surroundings with deep suspicion.

"Are you sure they fled in this direction? This place is desolate; there's nowhere to hide!"

Old Black Mu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly replied with "certainty":

"Senior Martial Uncle! We should be close! That Mad Extreme Old Devil is eager to escape the borders of the Xuan Ye Dynasty,

so he will definitely flee in a straight line and won't waste time taking detours! Let's keep chasing and see!"

Although Venerable Dry Bones' doubts grew heavier, thinking that Permanent Nothingness might be in mortal danger,

he suppressed his anger, gave a cold snort, and increased his speed instead of slowing down!

Just as the two of them flew over an unremarkable mountain hollow shrouded in dense Yin-Evil mist—

Yao Delong, who was hidden deep in the shadows of the hollow with his aura perfectly integrated into the environment, locked onto his target instantly like a top-tier hunter!

His gaze pierced through the mist, and he instantly guessed the identity of the withered old man with the surging Evil Qi beside Old Black Mu!

He had seen Ye Wushang before; this person was most likely Venerable Dry Bones!

'It's definitely him! Permanent Nothingness's Senior Martial Uncle! Little Black wants to use a borrowed knife to kill, ending the trouble forever!'

A cold light flashed in Yao Delong's eyes, and he didn't hesitate for a moment!

"Heart Sword Without Trace!" He chanted silently in his heart, and his Primordial Spirit power instantly condensed to the extreme!

There was no world-shaking momentum, no dazzling light!

There was only an invisible and intangible Primordial Spirit sword that condensed extreme sharpness and the will of silence; where the thought reached, the sword was born!

Slaying the enemy in invisibility, breaking the law before it manifests!

This sword crossed space without any omen, ignoring the protective Evil Qi barrier that automatically activated on Venerable Dry Bones' body,

and like a most lethal poisonous sting, it stabbed directly at the Primordial Spirit core deep within his Sea of Consciousness!

The moment Old Black Mu finished speaking, as Venerable Dry Bones was flying,

an unprecedented, lethal sense of crisis capable of freezing the Soul suddenly seized him! It was as if he were being stared down by a prehistoric behemoth!

"Not good!" His withered face instantly contorted!

The combat instincts he had cultivated over hundreds of years in the Eastern Region, through countless life-and-death struggles, saved his life at this moment!

Almost at the same time Yao Delong's thought was launched, deep within Venerable Dry Bones' Sea of Consciousness,

a pitch-black bone shield engraved with patterns of countless vengeful souls—the Ten Thousand Soul Bone Evil Jade (high-grade heavenly artifact)—

sensed the impending doom, emitted a shrill screech, and instantly erupted with black light as thick as ink, blocking the Heart Sword!

Crack—!!!

An ear-piercing sound of shattering, as if his Soul were being torn apart, exploded in Venerable Dry Bones' head!

That bone shield, which was sufficient to withstand a Primordial Spirit attack from the Late Void Refining Stage,

lasted for only one ten-thousandth of an instant before Yao Delong's long-premeditated "Heart Sword Without Trace," which condensed the power of Yin and Yang Origin!

The vengeful Soul patterns on the shield's surface instantly dimmed and disintegrated, and countless fine cracks spread out like a spiderweb!

After holding on for less than a breath, it exploded with a bang amidst a burst of blinding light!

Puff—!

Venerable Dry Bones felt as if a heavy hammer had smashed into the top of his head, and he violently spat out a large mouthful of black blood mixed with organ fragments and essence Soul Origin! His aura plummeted instantly!

Although the Ten Thousand Soul Bone Evil Shield had sacrificed itself to block most of the Heart Sword's power,

the remaining force, enough to extinguish a Primordial Spirit, still slammed heavily against his defenseless Primordial Spirit body!

His Primordial Spirit shook violently! Its light dimmed! His dao foundation was shaken!

"Ah—!!" Venerable Dry Bones let out a scream of extreme agony, his body staggering in the air, nearly falling!

He whipped his head around, his eyes burning with spiteful and terrified ghostly green Soul-fire,

as he locked onto that seemingly ordinary patch of Yin-Evil mist below and let out a heart-wrenching roar:

"Mad Extreme Old Devil?! Get out here and meet your death!!!"

Venerable Dry Bones' shrill roar shook the surroundings, the Soul-fire in his eyes jumping wildly.

The intense pain and dizziness from his wounded Primordial Spirit caused his mind to churn; all his rage and killing intent were locked onto the churning Yin-Evil mist below!

He didn't notice his "good martial nephew" standing right next to him!

And at this moment, Old Black Mu, who was behind and to his side, suddenly had a ruthless, viper-like glint explode in his eyes!

'Master has made his move! Now is the time!'

He roared in his heart, his killing intent decided!

Taking advantage of the perfect opportunity while Venerable Dry Bones' mind was heavily injured by Yao Delong's Heart Sword and his attention was completely drawn below,

Old Black Mu suddenly opened his mouth, and from the depths of his throat came a bizarre syllable that sounded like a billion vengeful ghosts screeching at once—Soul-Losing Demonic Sound: Spirit-Breaking Roar!

Woom—!!!

A visible, space-distorting ring of grayish-black sound waves instantly erupted from Old Black Mu's mouth!

These sound waves did not attack the Physical Body but were aimed directly at the Primordial Spirit! Carrying a terrifying will of filth, decay, and Soul-tearing,

they ignored physical defenses and slammed hard into Venerable Dry Bones' already teetering Primordial Spirit!

"Puff—!"

Venerable Dry Bones felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body shaking violently!

The Primordial Spirit barrier that had just been torn by the Heart Sword and then forcibly stabilized by the Ten Thousand Soul Bone Evil Shield,

under this lethal backstab from a "trusted person," shattered like glass hit by a sledgehammer!

Countless Primordial Spirit fragments flew within his Sea of Consciousness, bringing a torture ten thousand times more painful than being sliced alive in the flesh!

His vision went dark, and foul blood mixed with essence Soul Origin sprayed from all seven orifices simultaneously!
