35: Chapter 35, it's as high as the fifth or sixth floor!

"Die!"

Ling Tian locked his mind onto the fastest diving Venomous Flying Lizard in the air, gripped the golden lance with his right claw, and thrust upward violently!

The speed was extreme!

The golden lance shadow was like the light of dawn tearing through the darkness!

Pfft!

That Early Stage Demon Soldier Venomous Flying Lizard didn't even have time to react before it was instantly pierced by the golden lance!

Its sturdy scales and bones were like paper before the golden lance!

Boom!

The golden lance's momentum remained undiminished; carrying the corpse of the lizard like a candied hawthorn skewer, it pierced through two more lizards behind it, finally pinning them fiercely onto the trunk of a massive bone tree in the back!

Bang!

The bone tree, as thick as three men could embrace, shattered instantly!

Instant kill of three Early Stage Demon Soldiers!

Yet Ling Tian's movements did not pause in the slightest!

At the same time he threw the golden lance, his left claw had already seized the head of the Purple Lightning Viper as it lunged to bite!

Pfft!

The Purple Lightning Viper's hard snake head was crushed like a watermelon!

Meanwhile, his thick tail, whistling as it tore through the air, whipped toward the Iron-Armored Poison Scorpion attacking from the rear like a steel whip!

Crack!

The Iron-Armored Poison Scorpion's Heavy shell was as fragile as an eggshell in the face of absolute power, instantly shattering, sending green fluids and viscera splattering everywhere!

In the blink of an eye, the three-pronged assault was instantly dismantled!

Three Demon Soldiers: two dead, one heavily injured!

Ling Tian dissipated the golden lance, didn't even look at the corpses, and lunged forward to feast.

[Devoured Purple Lightning Viper (Late Stage Demon Soldier), gained Evolution Points +75! Agility +8.]

[Devoured Iron-Armored Poison Scorpion (Middle Stage Demon Soldier), gained Evolution Points +50! Stamina +5.]

[Devoured Venomous Flying Lizard (Early Stage Demon Soldier) * 3, gained Evolution Points +75!]

His Evolution Points surged instantly!

Awesome!

On the other side, Xia Youchu had also cleared out most of the Yao Beasts on her end.

She stood amidst a pile of Yao Beast corpses, holding a dripping longsword, her body wreathed in Demonic Yuan. Her Aura had not weakened; instead, it had become more condensed and profound due to continuous devouring.

She glanced at Ling Tian's side, especially seeing the massive bone tree shattered by the golden lance, and the corner of her eye twitched slightly.

This idiot... his destructive power is getting more and more exaggerated.

The power of that golden lance had definitely reached the level of a Late Stage Grand Yuan Master!

The two exchanged a glance, and without a word, tacitly continued to push deeper into the Bone Forest.

The Yao Beasts here seemed endless, coming in wave after wave.

Behind them in the Bone Forest, two eerie paths were left in their wake.

On Xia Youchu's side, there were only Yao Beast corpses sucked dry into mummies.

As for Ling Tian's side, forget corpses—it looked like it had been run over by a bulldozer.

With his frenzied feeding, his Evolution Points were rapidly approaching 8000.

[Evolution Points: 7850/8000]

Just as they were about to finish clearing the core area of the Bone Forest and felt the mission was nearing completion,

Ling Tian's Energy Perception suddenly caught an exceptionally powerful life signal ahead!

It far exceeded any Demon Soldier they had encountered before!

It was even... a notch stronger than those three Early Stage Demon Generals they had met earlier!

Deep in the Bone Forest, bones were piled like mountains.

There, in the center of the piled bones, a massive shadow lay prone.

As Xia Youchu and Ling Tian approached, the shadow slowly began to move.

Click... click...

A teeth-gritting sound of grinding bones arose, and a massive amount of bones slid off the shadow like an avalanche.

When it fully revealed its form, even Ling Tian and Xia Youchu couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

What a massive monster that was!

It was nearly fifteen meters tall, equivalent to a five-story building!

Its overall shape was a twisted humanoid, but it was entirely pieced together from various pale bones!

There were human skulls, Yao Beast spines, giant bird wing bones...

The remains of countless races had been forcibly fused together by some bizarre power, forming this daunting Bone Demon colossus!

Its head was a giant skull magnified dozens of times, with two clusters of eerie green Soul fire burning in its eye sockets, locking tightly onto the two uninvited guests who had trespassed into its Domain.

A terrifying Aura of a Middle Stage Demon General instantly spread out!

Bone Demon!

This strange lifeform was not a Yao Beast, but a Essence Spirit formed by the mutation and Fusion of the remains of countless creatures that had died in the Bone Forest over long ages!

"This thing... is a bit tricky."

Xia Youchu tightened her grip on her longsword.

A glint of seriousness also flashed in Ling Tian's eyes.

The sense of oppression brought by its fifteen-meter-tall physique was real.

And this thing looked thick-skinned and tough at a glance.

Conventional attacks would likely struggle to cause effective damage.

"Whatever, let's go first and figure it out later!"

Ling Tian moved his mind, and Treasury of the King was activated!

Hum!

Golden light condensed in his right claw!

However, what appeared this time was not a lance, but a massive golden round shield!

Ling Tian was slightly stunned.

I didn't expect the treasure manifested by Treasury of the King to be random each time?

He tapped the shield and tested how it felt.

Never mind, I'll just make do with it.

Anyway, with his current Mental Energy, the manifested treasures were just empty shells; to him, they were nothing more than bricks of different shapes.

"Roar!"

The Bone Demon let out a roar, and its massive bone palm, like a mountain with an Aura that could crush everything, slammed down on Ling Tian and Xia Youchu!

The wind from the palm howled, sweeping up the bones on the ground!

Ling Tian didn't dodge or evade; he held up the golden round shield with his right claw and met it head-on!

Boom!!

The bone palm and the golden round shield collided violently!

A deafening roar erupted!

The golden round shield vibrated violently, but in the end, it steadily blocked this Heavy and powerful blow!

The powerful impact caused the ground under Ling Tian's feet to crack instantly, sinking by half a meter!

But his massive body remained unmoved!

"It blocked it!" A flash of surprise appeared in Xia Youchu's eyes.

The defensive power of that golden shield was beyond imagination!

However, before they could be happy, a sudden change occurred!

The Bone Demon's blocked bone palm suddenly had its finger bones extend eerily, like five sharp spears, bypassing the golden round shield and stabbing fiercely from the side toward Ling Tian's head and body!

This monster didn't just have brute force!

Ling Tian reacted extremely quickly, swinging his left claw violently to parry two of the finger bones, but the other three still pierced through with a sharp whistling sound!

Just then!

Xia Youchu moved!

Her figure was like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of Ling Tian's side, her longsword tracing a mysterious trajectory, the tip of the sword tapping onto the remaining three finger bones!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three crisp sounds!

Seemingly understated, but it contained a clever hidden force!

The trajectory of those three Heavy and powerful finger bones was forcibly deflected, grazing past Ling Tian's skin, leaving only a few shallow white marks on his rock-like skin.

"Thanks." Ling Tian conveyed his thought.

"Pay attention, idiot." Xia Youchu didn't even look back, her gaze locked tightly onto the stitched Bone Demon.

With the attack failing, the Soul fire in the stitched Bone Demon's eyes flickered more violently, clearly enraged.

It raised its other massive bone foot, like a siege hammer, and slammed it down fiercely toward the two!

At the same time, the bone wings on its back, pieced together from countless wing bones, suddenly spread open, and countless sharp bone spikes shot toward the two like a rainstorm, covering the area!

An omnidirectional attack with no blind spots!

"Troublesome!"

Ling Tian activated Treasury of the King again!

This time, golden light condensed in his left claw, but what appeared was a glistening golden rope.

It looked good, but Ling Tian could feel that with his current Mental Energy, the binding power of this chain was quite limited; dealing with a monster of this size, it probably wouldn't hold it for even a second.

Useless!

He simply gave up on using the chain, raising the golden round shield in his right claw again to block the stomping bone foot descending from the sky.

Boom!

The bone foot stomped onto the round shield, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.

A large number of bone spikes shot onto the round shield and Ling Tian's body, making clanging sounds. Most were deflected, and the few that pierced his skin were blocked by his Super-Powered Armor and Hard Skin skills, unable to penetrate deeply.

Xia Youchu, meanwhile, once again displayed her exquisite footwork and sword techniques.

She executed her Flowing Cloud Steps to the limit, weaving through the dense rain of bone spikes like a dancing butterfly, dodging attacks at the very last second every time.

But for the moment, the two were suppressed by this violent attack.

"This won't do!"

Xia Youchu frowned. "This monster is too big, its defense is too strong, our attacks are hard to make effective!"

Her current Realm was still too weak to deal with a Demon General, let alone a Middle Stage Demon General.

Even if the Bone Demon stood still and let her hack at it, she probably wouldn't be able to cut it!

Ling Tian was getting annoyed from being beaten, so he opened his mouth and unleashed a Atomic Fission Breath!

Rumble!!

The dark red breath hit the Bone Demon head-on, instantly melting a large patch of bones and revealing a black heart beating beneath the surface!

But soon, a large amount of bones from the surroundings climbed up again, refilling the gap in the Bone Demon's chest.

Ling Tian frowned tightly. "Pooper scooper, you go first, let me handle it myself."

Xia Youchu's presence made Ling Tian hesitant to let loose; after all, their Souls were bound. While they didn't necessarily share in each other's glory, they definitely shared in each other's ruin.

Xia Youchu, being brushed aside, didn't retort for the first time; instead, she looked sharply at the Bone Demon's chest cavity.

"A heart? How could this thing have a heart?"

"I've got it..."

"Let me take the lead! You help me pin it down!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Tian was instantly stunned.

"What? You take the lead? Are you serious? Are you ready to off yourself just to avoid barking like a dog?"

...
