142: Tiger into a flock of sheep

Boom!

Lin Jingyu shattered the last massive divine skeleton blocking his path, like a Chaos Demon God descending, and slammed fiercely into the core area of the ruins!

The scene before him suddenly changed.

This was an even vaster and more desolate plaza.

The ground was paved with bone bricks, dark as blood and covered in bizarre runes, emanating an unsettling aura of death and ominousness.

At the end of the plaza stood a colossal bone tower, thousands of feet high!

The tower body was built from countless thick, twisted skeletons, each emitting a different aura. The tower's summit was hidden in a dense gray-black death mist, and a terrifying pressure, originating from the Primordial Era and chilling the Soul, slowly emanated from the depths of the bone tower!

The plaza was already littered with corpses!

Broken Magical Artifacts, severed limbs, and charred bodies covered the ground.

The heavy smell of blood mixed with chaotic energy fluctuations, creating a nauseating battlefield atmosphere.

Dozens of figures were locked in fierce combat! Light flashed brightly, and roars shook the heavens!

On one side were the elites of the Demon Suppression Division, led by Qin Shanhe, the General Commander of the Demon Suppression Division!

Qin Shanhe's hair and beard were bristling with rage. Mountain-heavy earthen yellow Protective Aura surrounded him. When he swung his door-sized xuanhuang greatsword, it let out a dull, thunderous roar. Every strike carried the power to shatter mountains and split the earth, firmly resisting attacks from all directions!

Several Demon Suppression Division experts behind him formed a battle formation, struggling to hold on, but everyone was injured and their auras were weak.

Several chips had even appeared on Qin Shanhe's xuanhuang greatsword, and blood stained the corner of his mouth, indicating immense exhaustion.

On the other side were enemies of various types!

There were Evil Cultivators wearing black robes, holding skull staves, and constantly summoning White Bone Warriors and Death Rays; ferocious Bone Demons of massive size covered in bone spurs and spitting poisonous flames; and even several Human Martial Artists with powerful auras and eyes full of greed!

They came from different factions, but they tacitly surrounded and attacked the Demon Suppression Division members, their target being a huge opening at the bottom of the bone tower that flickered with faint Chaos light!

The aura emanating from the opening caused the two fragmented claws of the sovereign in Lin Jingyu's embrace to suddenly stiffen, immediately erupting with even more intense greed!

Bone Yama's Demonic Core pounded frantically!

"Brother Qin!" Lin Jingyu shouted, his voice like thunder exploding across the chaotic battlefield!

Instantly, all eyes focused on him simultaneously!

"Brother Lin!"

Qin Shanhe's spirit suddenly lifted, and a light of hope burst forth in his eyes. He then urgently shouted: "Be careful! The bone tower is strange! That opening leads to the core inside the tower; there is a supreme treasure, but also great terror! These scoundrels want to fish in troubled waters!"

The attackers, on the other hand, erupted in shouts of shock, anger, and greed.

"It's Lin Jingyu!"

"That ruthless man who seized treasure at Bone Mountain!"

"He's here! Stop him quickly!"

"He has the aura of the chaos origin stone! Kill him, and the treasure is ours!"

A sinister old man holding a Shooting Star Chasing the Moon Spike, at the Peak of the Seventh Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm, shrieked: "Go together! Kill him first!"

The strange short spike in his hand shook, transforming into two pale streams of light that tore through the Void Realm, heading straight for Lin Jingyu's eyes!

This spike was extremely vicious, specifically designed to penetrate Protective Aura!

"Scram!"

Lin Jingyu didn't even look, casually swinging his right fist!

His fist, wrapped in Chaos Qi Flow and containing the fragment of the rule of strength, was like swinging a condensed piece of heaven and earth!

Bang! Crack!

The two pale streams of light shattered instantly as if hitting a divine mountain! The residual force of the punch slammed heavily into the sinister old man!

Poof!

The old man's Protective Aura and chest instantly caved in. His body flew backward like a broken sack, shattering several huge bone pillars, and he died on the spot!

[Ding! Killed a Peak Seventh Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm enemy (Sinister Old Man), gained 90,000 evolution points!]

"He's tough! Form the formation!"

A burly man, built like an iron tower, holding a massive Mother-Child Mandarin Duck Axe, roared.

Three companions at the Sixth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm immediately gathered beside him. Their auras instantly linked, forming a murderous Four Symbols Battle Formation!

The Mother-Child Axe, Meteor Hammer, Judge's Pen, and Poison Dragon Whip—four strange weapons—simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, tearing through space and carrying the might to strangle everything, striking Lin Jingyu from four tricky angles!

A Chaos divine light flashed in Lin Jingyu's eyes, and he neither dodged nor retreated! He suddenly took a deep breath, his chest swelling high!

"ROAR—!!!"

A terrifying roar, originating from the Primordial Chaos, erupted centered on Lin Jingyu!

The sound waves transformed into visible gray Chaos ripples, carrying the mighty power to destroy Divine Souls and shatter mountains and rivers, instantly sweeping in all directions!

Chaos Heaven-Opening Roar!

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

The four Sixth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm experts who formed the formation were struck hard on the head as if by an invisible giant hammer!

Blood instantly sprayed from their seven orifices, the light in their eyes scattered, and their concentrated attack abruptly stopped!

The four men's bodies stiffened and they fell from mid-air like dumplings dropping into a pot—their Divine Souls utterly destroyed!

[Ding! Killed 4 Sixth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm enemies, gained 72,000 evolution points!]

As the residual roar spread, enemies on the plaza whose cultivation was below the Sixth Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm fell down in swathes like cut wheat; they either screamed clutching their heads or passed out instantly!

The entire chaotic battlefield ground to a halt!

"Monster! He's a monster!" an Evil Cultivator holding a Crying Staff and specializing in curses was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. He turned, intending to transform into black smoke and flee.

Lin Jingyu appeared behind him like a phantom, reaching out with a large hand and seizing his neck as if grabbing a chick!

Snap!

His neck was crushed, and the body was casually flung away!

[Ding! Killed a Fifth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm enemy (Evil Cultivator), gained 50,000 evolution points!]

He didn't stop. Taking a single step, he appeared before a massive, roaring Bone Demon charging toward him.

That Bone Demon was covered in ferocious bone spurs, and its massive claw swept down with a vicious wind that tore space!

Lin Jingyu simply punched out!

Boom!

Chaos Fist Force erupted!

The Bone Demon's massive body was instantly crushed into bone powder filling the sky, as if ground by billions of tons of force!

Even the several Skeleton Guards charging behind it were torn apart by the fist wind!

[Ding! Killed 1 Sixth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm Bone Demon and 3 Fifth Heaven of Dharma Aspect Realm Skeleton Guards, gained 75,000 evolution points!]

He was like an Archaic Ferocious Tiger that had broken into a flock of sheep!

Wherever he passed, he stirred up a bloody slaughter!

Whether they were experts at the Sixth or Seventh Heaven of Dharma Manifestation Realm, or ferocious Bone Demons and evil creatures, they were all as fragile as paper mache before him!

One punch! One palm! One collision! One tear!

There were no complex Moves, only the most primitive and violent crushing force!

Bang! A Martial Artist holding a Water-Dividing Emei Spike, whose movement technique was sinister, had his head burst by a single punch!

Tear! A Bone-Winged Demonic Bat spitting poisonous flames was ripped alive into two halves!

Boom! A newly condensed White Bone Ogre was shattered into pieces by Lin Jingyu's full-body collision!

Screams, bone-cracking sounds, and explosions were incessant! The notification sound for evolution points was relentlessly scrolling through Lin Jingyu's mind!

[Ding! Killed... gained evolution points...]

[Ding! Killed... gained evolution points...]

In just a few breaths, nearly half of the dozens of powerful enemies besieging the Demon Suppression Division were slaughtered by him alone!

Severed limbs and broken weapons and Magic Treasures covered the plaza, and a dense bloody aura shot up into the sky!

"Run! Run quickly!"

"He's not human! He's a Demon God!"

The survivors completely broke down, their hearts splitting with terror. They no longer cared about any treasure, only regretting that their parents hadn't given them two more legs, fleeing desperately toward the dark edges of the plaza!

Lin Jingyu did not pursue those small fry.

Covered in blood, like a God of Slaughter retrieved from a pool of blood, Chaos Qi Flow surged around him, shaking off the foul blood.

His gaze was icy as he swept across the messy plaza, finally resting on his embrace.

The two fragmented claws of the sovereign were slightly trembling at this moment. The dark golden demonic patterns flickered like breathing, and an extremely subtle, yet utterly greedy suction force was quietly devouring the dense bloody Qi pervading the plaza!

The abyssal black Qi wrapped around Bone Yama's Demonic Core also seemed to solidify slightly!

"Hmph, quite good at taking advantage," Lin Jingyu sneered internally. The power of the Primordial Creation Scripture circulated, forcefully suppressing the fragmented claw's abnormal movements.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the chaotic energy turbulence, locking onto the huge opening at the bottom of the bone tower that emitted a Chaos aura and the call of the Abyss.

Just at this moment!

"ROAR—!!!"

A terrifying roar filled with endless tyranny, madness, and Primordial Era aura suddenly exploded from inside the bone tower!

This roar seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, containing a death will that could freeze the Soul!

The entire thousand-foot bone tower trembled violently, and the countless skeletons making up the tower body groaned with "crackling" sounds!

The dense death gray mist at the top of the tower churned as if boiling!

A terrifying pressure, far surpassing the Dharma Aspect Realm and faintly touching the edge of the Domain, surged out from the opening like a world-destroying tsunami!

"Pfft!"

Qin Shanhe, who was already struggling, bore the brunt of the attack. He was hit hard, violently spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face instantly turned pale, and the light on his xuanhuang greatsword dimmed slightly!

The Demon Suppression Division experts behind him stumbled and swayed, barely able to stand!

"Demon Saint!? Has that sleeping Demon Saint awakened?! Its power is stronger than expected!"

Qin Shanhe's eyes were splitting with anger. He screamed hoarsely at Brother Lin: "Brother Lin! Hurry! It hasn't fully recovered yet! We cannot let it fully awaken and gain control of the bone tower!"

Boom!

Accompanied by the roar, a massive beast claw, covered in dark golden scales and wrapped in dense Death Qi, suddenly reached out from the bone tower opening!

Just the exposed claw emitted a suffocating pressure!

On the beast claw, several deep demonic patterns, flowing with a dark red, lava-like luster, emitted an abyssal aura that was homologous to the fragmented claw of the sovereign in Lin Jingyu's embrace, but far more ancient and terrifying!

"Finally out?"

Not only was there no fear in Lin Jingyu's eyes, but instead, an extremely fervent Battle Intent erupted!

The Primordial Creation Scripture circulated frantically. The Primordial Chaos Divine Demon Manifestation faintly appeared behind him, his muscles bulging and taut, and Chaos Qi Flow roared and surged!

The newly acquired fragment of the rule of strength cheered and leaped in his flesh and blood!

With a single step, he shattered the bloody bone bricks beneath his feet, ignoring the terrifying pressure emanating from the exposed beast claw. Like an arrow loosed from a bow, carrying resolute Killing Intent that charged forward without hesitation, he fiercely rushed toward the massive bone tower opening!

"Your claw belongs to me!"

The icy voice, like the declaration of the God of Death, echoed throughout the desolate plaza!
