635: Too much noise

"Old Black Mu!!! You're looking for death!!!"

Venerable Dry Bones had gone completely mad! A massive sense of betrayal and the fear of impending death transformed into a sky-toppling rage!

He spun around abruptly, his withered palms instantly enveloped in an extremely dense, Eerie Green Malevolent Fire.

That flame seemed capable of incinerating the Soul. Carrying the residual power of his Void Refining Perfection stage and boundless resentment, he slammed it down with fury toward the nearby Old Black Mu!

"Dry Bones Malevolent Fire Palm: Soul Incineration and Spirit Destruction!"

This palm strike was unleashed with pure hatred. Although its power was greatly reduced due to his Primordial Spirit suffering consecutive devastating blows, it still reached the terrifying level of the Late Void Refining Stage!

The space itself groaned under the pressure of the palm's wind, unable to bear the weight!

Old Black Mu's face turned deathly pale instantly! He hadn't expected his Senior Martial Uncle, injured to such an extent, to still be able to launch such a terrifying counterattack!

In his haste, he could only push his full Body Refining strength to the limit, his muscles bulging like knotted ropes.

His skin took on a metallic black sheen, and he crossed his arms tightly in front of his chest for protection!

Boom—!!!

It was like a meteor striking the earth! That giant palm, burning with Soul-incinerating malevolent fire, slammed solidly against Old Black Mu's defense!

Crack! The sickening sound of bones shattering rang out in rapid succession!

The protective malevolent light on Old Black Mu's body shattered like paper, and the bones in his arms broke inch by inch!

His entire person was like a broken sack, smashed violently toward the ground by this immense force!

Rumble—!

A huge deep pit was smashed into the ground, and dust filled the air!

Old Black Mu lay at the bottom of the pit, covered in blood. No one knew how many of his bones and tendons were broken. Blood gushed from his mouth, and his aura had withered to the extreme!

If he hadn't also cultivated Body Refining, making his Physical Body far tougher than others of the same rank, this single palm strike would have been enough to turn him completely into meat paste and scatter his Primordial Spirit!

"Cough, cough... Old bastard... you're really damn ruthless..." Old Black Mu gasped painfully at the bottom of the pit, his eyes fixed deathly on the sky.

And at the very moment Venerable Dry Bones's furious palm strike sent Old Black Mu flying!

The dark malevolent mist below churned violently like boiling water! A figure, like a demon god tearing through the shadows, suddenly appeared!

Yao Delong held the ethereal kite immortal-slaying sword, the Yin and Yang Qi circulating frantically around him, all of it poured into this peerless weapon of slaughter!

Upon the sword's blade, countless hair-thin, eerily dark-red "Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi" strands wound and moved like living things!

They were not physical Sword Qi, but blades of Law formed from the Fusion of the purest intent of slaughter and the Yin and Yang Origin!

Specifically designed to break all techniques and erode the dao foundation, they possessed a devastating suppression over Primordial Spirits and the spirituality of Magic Treasures!

"Dao Artifact Divine Ability—Bright Wing: Immortal-Slaying Void Severance!" Yao Delong shouted inwardly, his will resonating perfectly with the sword spirit, You Yuan!

Buzz—!!!

The ethereal kite immortal-slaying sword let out a clear sword cry that pierced the nine heavens! An indescribably powerful dark-gold sword light erupted fiercely!

This sword light seemed to represent the "Destruction" of the Universe's end itself!

Wherever it passed, the space was no longer just torn, but silently annihilated like a fragile mirror, leaving behind a pitch-black void trail!

The Immortal-Slaying intent contained within caused even the distant Venerable Dry Bones's Primordial Spirit to feel a needle-like stinging pain, as if it would be completely erased in the next moment!

"Half-step Integration Stage?! No—!!" Venerable Dry Bones's Soul nearly left his body! He felt the ultimate call of death!

The power of this sword had definitely reached the level of the Half-step Integration Stage! It far exceeded what his currently heavily injured body could withstand!

In a life-or-death moment, he unleashed a final burst of madness!

Ignoring the excruciating pain of his Primordial Spirit and dao foundation cracking inch by inch, he forcibly squeezed out the last bit of Primordial Spirit power and the residual malevolent essence in his body!

"Ten Thousand Malice Sky-Burning Wheel: Cinder Extinction!" he roared hoarsely, slamming his hands together!

A terrifying malevolent fire demon wheel, dozens of zhang in diameter and formed from countless twisting, wailing resentful Souls and malevolent fire, took shape instantly.

As it rotated, it seemed as if it would burn the world to ashes! This was his hidden trump card, which at his Peak could block a strike from a Half-step Integration Stage expert!

Boom—!!!

The dark-gold Immortal-Slaying sword light and that sky-burning demon wheel collided fiercely like two destructive stars!

However, Venerable Dry Bones was already at the end of his rope. This sky-burning demon wheel only managed to raise its power to the limit of Void Refining Perfection!

Sizzle—!!!

Like a red-hot iron cutting through solidified butter! That seemingly ferociously powerful malevolent fire demon wheel...

...held out for less than a breath before the Immortal-Slaying sword light, which contained the Law of Destruction!

With a wail, it was split clean down the middle! Countless resentful Souls were instantly evaporated in the sword light!

The sword light's momentum remained unspent, and like a spear of judgment, it instantly pierced through Venerable Dry Bones's withered Physical Body!

Pfft!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull, soft sound.

Venerable Dry Bones's body, like a sand sculpture weathered for billions of years, began to crumble under the annihilation power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi.

Starting from the puncture wound, it silently turned into the finest dust and scattered with the wind!

Not a single drop of blood or a fragment of bone was left behind!

A pitch-black, crack-covered Primordial Spirit infant, its aura weakened to the extreme...

...fled in terror from the annihilated shell, trying to tear through space to escape for its life!

"Hmph! Still trying to run?" Yao Delong's eyes were cold, and he was well-prepared! He made a grasping motion with his left hand from a distance!

A jade bottle engraved with profound sealing runes instantly appeared in his palm—the Soul-Locking Spirit-Suppressing Bottle! A powerful suction erupted!

"No—!!" Venerable Dry Bones's Primordial Spirit only had time to let out a desperate shriek...

...before it was forcibly pulled into the bottle by that irresistible force. The bottle's mouth was instantly sealed by a Talisman formed from Yin and Yang Origin!

Everything settled.

Yao Delong let out a long breath of turbid air, his face also slightly pale.

Using a Dao Artifact to perform an Immortal-Slaying Divine Ability consumed an immense amount of energy.

He looked at the slightly vibrating jade bottle in his hand, his heart solemn:

"This battle relied entirely on taking him by surprise. If I had faced the old demon Dry Bones in his prime, the outcome would be uncertain; it would have been a bitter struggle!"

He quickly sheathed his sword, and with a flash of his figure, he appeared at the edge of the deep pit Old Black Mu had made.

At this moment, Old Black Mu looked incredibly miserable. His arms hung limply, his sternum was caved in...

...blood foam kept bubbling from his mouth and nose, his aura was weak, and even his eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Venerable Dry Bones's furious Late Void Refining Stage palm strike had almost taken his old life.

"Little... Little Black... won't die..." Seeing Yao Delong, Old Black Mu forced a smile that looked worse than crying.

Yao Delong didn't waste words. He flipped his hand and took out a longan-sized, entirely emerald-green Medicinal Pill that emitted a dense aura of life and the fragrance of herbs—

The Rank Seven yimu azure spirit pill! This was a healing Saint Grade item, containing immense life essence and the power of the Wood Law!

He stuffed the Medicinal Pill into Old Black Mu's mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, turning into a majestic yet gentle torrent of life that instantly flooded into Old Black Mu's limbs and bones!

His broken bones made slight popping sounds as they began to quickly realign and heal;

His shattered internal organs were enveloped by the dense vitality and rapidly repaired; his withered aura rose quickly like a withered tree meeting spring!

"Cough, cough... Thank... thank you, Master, for saving my life!"

In just a few moments, Old Black Mu was able to struggle to sit up. Although he was still weak, his movement was no longer hindered.

The effectiveness of a Rank Seven Medicinal Pill was truly terrifying!

"This place is not suitable to stay for long!" Yao Delong said in a heavy voice, his gaze scanning the distance.

"The commotion was too great. The Nine Nether Sect's forces will soon follow the trail! Little Black, return to Fengdu City immediately!! You must not let anyone become suspicious!"

"Rest assured, Master! Little Black understands!" Old Black Mu struggled to stand, a ruthless and shrewd glint flashing in his eyes.
