306: How could such a powerful being exist in this small world?

At the same time, the earth cracked open, and eerie green ghost fire erupted from underground, coiling up like venomous snakes, corroding their Spiritual Power shields!

That ghost fire was not ordinary fire; it was refined from countless resentful souls, capable of burning the Divine Soul upon contact!

"Ah—!!!"

West Moon's sonic barrier finally collapsed, a bone spike pierced her left leg, and the ghost fire immediately coiled around it, instantly charring half of her body!

Shen Wuya desperately urged the bamboo leaf storm, but both his arms were injured, his Spiritual Power sluggish, and three bone spikes simultaneously pierced his chest and abdomen, blood gushing out like a spring!

Both fell heavily to the ground, critically injured, having lost even the strength to stand!

Lady White Bone was once the youngest Star Observation Emissary of the Spirit Realm's Star Observation Department, with unparalleled talent and heaven-reaching cultivation.

However, she was unwilling to be bound by rules, and disdained to Cultivate in a conventional manner.

She embarked on the Evil Path—using her beauty as bait, she lured Spirit Realm Prodigies, Nascent Soul True Lords, and Soul Transformation powerhouses, drawing them into her trap, then personally slaying them, refining their bones, refining their souls, refining their Divine Sense, to forge the "White Bone Puppet Grand Method"!

Over several centuries, under the name "You Tan," she lured and murdered thirty-six Spirit Realm elites, refining them into White Bone Puppets, and her strength surged to the Soul Transformation Late Stage!

Her "White Bone Palace" was filled with the skulls of handsome male Cultivators, each one once a Chosen One, yet ultimately becoming her nourishment!

But just as she was about to assault the Tribulation Crossing Realm—

She met him.

He was a man as clear and cold as the moon, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a temperament like a pine tree, his cultivation merely at the Soul Transformation Initial Stage, yet completely unmoved by her peerless beauty.

She tempted him in every way, but he remained indifferent; she threatened him with death, but he merely smiled calmly: "Your heart has no light; no matter how beautiful you are, you are but withered bones."

She was furious, yet she didn't know when she had developed feelings for him.

She began to deliberately approach him, no longer killing people, even wanting to abandon the Evil Path for him.

But just then—

The man suddenly attacked!

He revealed the "Law Enforcement Order"; he was actually a Law Enforcement Department secret agent!

He approached her only to collect evidence of her crimes!

And she had long been targeted by the Law Enforcement Department; her so-called "heart moved" was merely one of his tasks!

Her heart turned to ashes, and she laughed in extreme anger.

But she ultimately could not defeat the Law Enforcement Department's encirclement and was captured and brought to justice, thrown into the Spirit Realm's death prison, becoming a death row inmate, never to be reborn!

Her greatest wish was to personally kill that man!

She wanted him to experience all the humiliation she had suffered, to pull out his bones one by one, refine them into the most hideous Puppet, and make him kneel before her forever and ever!

She laughed up to the sky, her laughter like the cry of a night owl, shrill and mad:

"You two tiny Nascent Soul ants, stop struggling. Be good and come back to the Spirit Realm with me. I really need your bones."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly pressed her hands downwards!

In the Void Realm, two enormous white lights suddenly condensed—

They were clearly White Bone claws refined from corpses! Once caught, not only would the Physical Body be imprisoned, but even the Divine Soul would be slowly eroded!

"No—!"

Shen Wuya roared, using his last shred of Spiritual Power to activate his bamboo flute, and the myriad leaf storm condensed again, attempting to block them!

But before the bamboo leaf storm could fully form, it was crushed by the gigantic White Bone claws, instantly turning into dust!

"Crack—!!!"

Two ear-piercing sounds of bones breaking rang out!

The gigantic White Bone claws, like hammers of divine punishment, crashed down, piercing Shen Wuya's and West Moon's shoulders with absolute precision!

Shen Wuya grunted, blood gushing out. His left shoulder was pierced by the giant claw, and the golden light shield at the break of his right arm was forcibly torn apart!

He tried to struggle, but the Yin Qi contained within the giant claw spread wildly through his arm's Meridians like a venomous snake, instantly sealing all his Spiritual Veins!

His Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect trembled violently in his Sea of Consciousness, suppressed by an invisible force, unable to mobilize even a trace of Spiritual Power!

West Moon was even more tragic!

The gigantic White Bone claw diagonally pierced through his right shoulder, directly puncturing his lungs, and the ghost fire took the opportunity to invade his body, burning his internal organs!

He opened his mouth to cry out, but only spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!

His jade flute fell from his grasp, landing in the dust, and the Chosen One Soul Seal flickered dimly, as if it would extinguish at any moment!

Both were lifted high by the giant claws, suspended in mid-air, like sacrifices nailed to a torture rack!

Their feet twitched weakly in the air, and blood dripped from the tips of the White Bone claws, staining the charred earth.

Lady White Bone slowly approached, her withered fingers gently stroking Shen Wuya's cheek. Her fingertips were cold as a corpse, but her voice carried a strange gentleness:

"Don't be afraid... Once we reach the Spirit Realm, I will 'take good care' of you."

She then turned to West Moon, her eerie green eyes directly meeting his Phoenix eyes, and chuckled:

"Those eyes of yours... are very beautiful. After I refine them, I will embed them in my throne, letting them witness the moment of my revenge."

West Moon gritted his teeth: "I am a servant of the Heavenly Dao, the Chosen One! If you kill me, just wait for the Heavenly Dao's judgment!!!"

Lady White Bone sneered:

"Heavenly Dao? Haha, such an ethereal thing, only you ants believe in it!!"

In another battlefield, Green Crow, at the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, steadily suppressed Emperor Qin, who was half a step into Soul Transformation. Although unable to kill Emperor Qin, he was slowly depleting Emperor Qin's Spiritual Power. If this continued, even Emperor Qin would die.

Emperor Qin was unwilling; he was a dignified emperor, his ultimate goal was to slay the Heavenly Dao. Now, he hadn't even seen the Heavenly Dao, yet he was being tormented like this by a mere small ant from the Spirit Realm.

After dealing with Shen Wuya and West Moon, Lady White Bone's eerie green eyes turned to the heavily injured Liu Lanyan.

With a flick of her withered finger, a surge of Yin Qi extended like a giant hand, instantly clutching Liu Lanyan's throat and lifting her into the air!

Liu Lanyan was covered in blood, her Phoenix True Fire had long since extinguished, her Meridians were shattered, and she didn't even have the strength to stand, yet her eyes—showed no trace of fear.

"I almost forgot about the main business."

Lady White Bone's voice was hoarse, carrying a chilling sense of oppression:

"Tell me everything about Lu Chen!"

Liu Lanyan smiled.

That smile was poignant and resolute, yet without a hint of fear.

She already knew—Lu Chen was still alive.

As long as he was alive, her lifelong wait had not been in vain.

What was there to fear in death?

"Heh..."

She chuckled softly, her voice weak but firm:

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. Don't waste words."

She neither struggled nor begged for mercy.

Even peerless powerhouses like Shen Wuya and West Moon, at the Nascent Soul Peak, were captured by Lady White Bone as easily as crushing ants. Why should she, a Golden Core Cultivator, humiliate herself?

Seeing her so unyielding, Lady White Bone's anger intensified:

"Stubborn? I'd like to see how long you can remain stubborn!"

She waved her right hand—

"White Bone Piercing Heart!"

In the Void Realm, dozens of pale bone spikes appeared out of thin air, each carrying corrosive Yin Qi, their tips flickering with eerie green ghost fire!

They rained down on Liu Lanyan like a storm!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Bone spikes pierced her shoulder blades, chest, abdomen, and legs one after another!

Blood gushed out like a spring, staining her tattered dress and splashing onto the charred earth.

Her body was nailed in mid-air, like a sacrifice on an altar, tragically beautiful and heroic.

But instead of fear, she threw her head back and laughed, her laughter filled with endless relief and satisfaction:

"Lu Chen! Auntie... is one step ahead! In the next life, Auntie still wants to be family with you!"

Tears glistened in her eyes, yet a smile played on her lips, as if she intended to ignite her Golden Core and self-detonate her Divine Soul!

But Lady White Bone was already prepared and sneered:

"Thinking of Golden Core self-detonation? Dream on!"

She pressed her left hand down, and a pitch-black Talismanic Incantation instantly imprinted itself on Liu Lanyan's heart!

"Soul Sealing Incantation!"

In an instant—

Liu Lanyan's internal Spiritual Power was completely sealed!

Her Golden Core dimmed, her Divine Soul was imprisoned, and even the flow of Qi and blood in her Meridians became sluggish!

Even her breathing became difficult, her entire body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, unable to move even a single finger!

She was no longer a Cultivator, but a Mortal stripped of all power!

Lady White Bone coldly gazed down at her, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eerie green eyes:

"Want to die? It's not that easy."

Just as she was about to continue her interrogation—

Rumble—!!!

Heaven and earth suddenly trembled!

A voice, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, exploded from the Void Realm!

It was not an ordinary roar, but a bellow imbued with endless killing intent and resonance with heaven and earth!

"Let—Her—Go!!!"

The voice was like a grand bell, piercing the clouds and shaking the eight directions!

The entire Taixu Sect ruins violently shook, and crumbling walls collapsed with a crash!

Thunderclouds rolled in the sky, the earth cracked into abysses, and even space rippled!

Even more terrifying was—

That voice carried a Divine Soul impact!

Lady White Bone, Green Crow, and Blood Luo Ji, these three Soul Transformation powerhouses from the Spirit Realm, at the very same instant—

Their brains roared, and their Divine Souls violently shook!

The three simultaneously looked up, exchanging glances, their eyes filled with shock and horror!

How could there be such a powerful Cultivator in this Small World?!
