104: Fighting the Demon Lord

However, Bone Cultivator was unaware of what was happening at Wuji Palace; he had stopped his advance and was now gazing at a mountain range below, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Demon Severing Ridge.

This place was precisely Demon Severing Ridge, one of the five Forbidden Grounds of the Sky Profound Continent. Looking out, mountain ranges stretched endlessly, with massive abyssal fissures crisscrossing them. It was silent, without a single sound, casting a terrifying veil over the area.

As he looked at the place, a hint of disgust flashed in Bone Cultivator’s eyes, and he slowly spoke.

"Ji Buqun, get out."

As the calm voice just sounded, the next moment, echoes instantly resonated like rolling thunder across this world.

The entire Demon Severing Ridge, for a time, seemed to be enveloped by this low yet majestic voice, its reverberations lingering.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a black shadow shot out from an abyssal crack, flying into the sky in a few blinks of an eye, finally stopping ten meters away from Bone Cultivator, its figure then revealing itself.

This was a young man, looking slightly younger than Bone Cultivator, with a handsome face that carried a hint of evil spirit, and dressed in a purple robe, appearing quite sinister.

And this was precisely the target of Bone Cultivator’s trip, Demonic Lord Ji Buqun, a Quasi-Emperor Realm Fourth Heaven expert, and the master of Demon Severing Ridge, one of the five Forbidden Grounds of the Sky Profound Continent.

"Bone Cultivator."

Looking at Bone Cultivator opposite him, Ji Buqun furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice.

"Instead of staying in your Bone Spirit Mountain Range, what are you doing in my Demon Severing Ridge?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Bone Cultivator stood with his hands down, his Aura surging, and said indifferently.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to spar with you to see if you’ve made any progress over the years."

As Bone Cultivator’s words fell, his pressure instantly erupted, enveloping this world, including Ji Buqun, in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the pressure from all around, Ji Buqun also subconsciously released his own pressure, but it instantly fell into a disadvantage upon appearing, being completely suppressed by the opponent.

Hiss!

Feeling the gap between the two, Ji Buqun’s face instantly changed drastically, and he roared while struggling to resist.

"Bone Cultivator, what exactly do you mean!"

"I already told you."

Bone Cultivator’s white bone giant wings behind him suddenly spread open, and his calm voice slowly sounded.

"I came to spar with you."

"You!"

As these words came out, Ji Buqun’s face instantly turned green.

Spar my ass, spar. He was only at the Fourth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and Bone Cultivator was already much stronger than him. Plus, two years ago, he suddenly made a move in the Central Region, displaying strength that could overpower Wang Teng.

Although he didn’t know how he did it, the Aura this guy was displaying now was not much different from Nine Yang Arrow God. How the hell was he supposed to fight this?

"Not making a move?"

Seeing that Ji Buqun had no intention of moving, Bone Cultivator raised an eyebrow slightly, and as he raised his right hand, his tone gradually became cold.

"Then I won’t be polite."

Saying that, Bone Cultivator’s raised right hand paused slightly, then aimed at Ji Buqun in front of him and swung down!

"Bone Spirit Divine Claw!"

"Boom!!"

As Bone Cultivator made his move, a roar instantly sounded, and five huge, cold white claw lights instantly tore through the sky, spanning a hundred meters, directly falling towards Ji Buqun!

"Hmm?!"

As soon as the cold white claw lights appeared, the terrifying Aura emanating from them instantly made all of Ji Buqun’s hair stand on end, and his mind was frantically warning him.

If he dared to take this move, he would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely die!

"Madman!!"

Ji Buqun cursed angrily, and his entire body quickly retreated backward. At the same time, wisps of deep purple Aura surrounded his body, Devilish Qi, and sudden wails began to sound around him, reverberating in this world.

And upon seeing this scene, Bone Cultivator’s face instantly turned gloomy, and killing intent surged in his eyes.

This was also one of the main reasons he disliked Ji Buqun. This guy had entered the Demonic Path when he was Cultivating immortals, and after tens of thousands of years of slaughter, the lives on his hands were countless. Finally, he proved his Dao through killing and became a Quasi-Emperor.

Although these Quasi-Emperors had many lives on their hands and didn’t care much about the lives of ordinary Cultivators, they still had no good feelings for Evil Path Cultivators like Ji Buqun.

Therefore, Ji Buqun was considered the most unpopular among all the Quasi-Emperors in the entire Sky Profound Continent, but due to his considerable strength and the difficulty of killing a Quasi-Emperor, no one had bothered him.

This guy was also honest, staying in his Demon Severing Ridge all day long and not going out, having no dealings with other Quasi-Emperors, just burying himself in Cultivation.

Who knew that Bone Cultivator, this lunatic, would suddenly come to his door? But Ji Buqun had no time to think about that now; at this moment, he only wanted to block this move and survive first.

"Ten Thousand Souls Break!!"

Accompanying Ji Buqun’s angry roar, countless ghost fires floated out from all parts of the Demon Severing Ridge, emitting cold white flames, forming a bizarre sea of fire.

And as these ghost fires appeared, mournful wails also resounded throughout this world. Upon closer inspection, one would find that all those ghost fires contained illusory human figures, male and female, old and young.

As Ji Buqun formed a hand seal, this sea of ghost fire instantly became agitated, and then all of them wailed as they roared forward, instantly passing over Ji Buqun and colliding with those claw lights.

"Boom!"

The two collided, but the speed of those claw lights was not significantly reduced. Where they passed, the ghost fires were directly extinguished, and this so-called sea of ghost fire was instantly torn apart amidst the wails.

"Damn it!"

Ji Buqun’s face changed drastically upon seeing this scene. He hadn’t expected his ultimate move to be so weak. As for dodging, it was simply too late. This guy’s attack had already sealed off the surrounding space, making it impossible for him to even evade, so he could only take it head-on.

In his moment of crisis, Ji Buqun could only raise his hand and once again circulate a large amount of Devilish Qi and the surrounding vengeful spirits to form a protective shield around himself.

Just then, Bone Cultivator’s claw lights had also flown close, and terrifying spiritual power instantly erupted the moment they touched that protective shield.

The protective shield made of Devilish Qi and vengeful spirits shattered with a roar after a momentary obstruction, revealing Ji Buqun, who had nowhere to hide. More than half of the remaining spiritual power instantly engulfed him.

"Boom!!"

Under Bone Cultivator’s indifferent gaze, Ji Buqun plummeted to the ground like a meteor. The sheer impact instantly shattered several mountain peaks, finally smashing into the forest, stirring up billowing smoke and dust that covered half the sky. The entire Demon Severing Ridge shook as if an earthquake had struck.

At this moment, Blue Heart, far away in the Illusion Blue Sea, had just calmed the waves on the sea and returned to her palace. As soon as she sat down, she seemed to sense something, abruptly looked up in a certain direction, her willow brows slightly furrowed.

"What’s wrong with Ji Buqun? And…"

Feeling that familiar Aura, Blue Heart’s eyes instantly widened, her face filled with surprise.

"Bone Cultivator??"

Not just Blue Heart, but all the Quasi-Emperors across the Sky Profound Continent awoke from their Cultivation, looking bewilderedly in the direction of Demon Severing Ridge.

What’s going on? Why did Bone Cultivator go to Demon Severing Ridge to cause trouble again?

Bone Cultivator had been very active these past two years. Ever since his fight with Wang Teng in the Central Region, this guy would go to the Illusion Blue Sea every few months to fight Blue Heart, disturbing them every time, to the point where they were almost used to it.

Now, it was just a bit of a surprise. They had thought Bone Cultivator would go to the Illusion Blue Sea, but who knew this guy ran off to the Demon Realm Ridge to bully Ji Buqun.

However, while everyone complained, no one had any intention of intervening. Some simply blocked external perceptions and continued Cultivating, no longer paying attention, while others used their means to remotely watch the show.

It was a spectacle not to be missed for free. Watching it first and then Cultivating was the same. Even Blue Heart excitedly took out her bronze mirror to watch remotely.

After being watched for two years, it was finally her turn to watch a show.

And Bone Cultivator, at the scene, didn’t care about the prying gazes. He just cast his gaze to the ground and said indifferently.

"Get up, stop playing dead."

Although he hadn’t held back in that move, it was still quite unrealistic to kill a Quasi-Emperor in one blow. Bone Cultivator could clearly feel that although the opponent’s Aura was weak, he was clearly still alive.

"Cough, cough."

Amidst the swirling dust, a figure stumbled out of the ground, surrounded by large craters and fallen giant trees. He was breathing heavily, and it was Ji Buqun.

At this moment, he no longer had his handsome appearance from when he first appeared. His hair was disheveled, his purple robe was tattered, and he was covered in wounds. A hint of fear appeared on his face as he looked at Bone Cultivator.

He hadn’t expected the gap between them to have become so large. When he used to fight the opponent, although he couldn’t win, he could still fight for half a day and even come and go freely.

But now, the opponent had severely injured him with one move. Such injuries were definitely the first time he had been beaten so badly since he became a Quasi-Emperor.

And upon feeling the prying gazes from all directions, Ji Buqun’s face instantly darkened. Now it was good; what was originally a matter between two people was now known to everyone.

To let those old rivals see him in his current state, Ji Buqun’s mood at this moment could be said to be exceptionally terrible.

He was minding his own business at home when Bone Cultivator, this guy, suddenly came to his door and injured him, and now he was being watched by a group of people. The more Ji Buqun thought about it, the angrier he got, and he looked up and roared at Bone Cultivator.

"Bone Cultivator, what exactly do you mean? Have I ever provoked you??"

"Heh, Demonic Lord Ji seems to have a short memory."

Looking at Ji Buqun’s exasperated appearance, Bone Cultivator’s expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly.

"Twenty thousand years ago, you secretly intervened in the Sky Luo Secret Realm and stole my Planet Flower, which led to the tragic death of my close friend afterward. Today, I must avenge him."

Ji Buqun: "…"

Blue Heart: "…"

All Quasi-Emperors: "…"

Meow meow meow?

Far away in the Bone Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Xiao, who was lying in a hammock watching the show, was also stunned, then his eyes instantly lit up.

"Good, good, good. As expected of my Grand Elder. This reason is absolutely brilliant."

And at this moment, Ji Buqun, who was at the scene, had an expression on his face as if he had eaten a fly after reacting.

What the hell? Twenty thousand years ago, they were all only at the Star Lord Realm, right? He stole his Planet Flower, and this guy still remembered such an old matter, and then came to seek revenge twenty thousand years later? What the hell is this?

Even the many Quasi-Emperors who were watching the battle had strange expressions. Planet Flower, it seemed to be some Earth Rank Spiritual Plant, right? Bone Cultivator dug up such an old score; why hadn’t they noticed this guy was so vengeful before?

As for Bone Cultivator saying his close friend died tragically, not a single one of the group believed it, not even a punctuation mark.

Who among them didn’t know that Bone Cultivator was a Vicious Beast who had attained the Dao? Before he became a Quasi-Emperor, his intelligence wasn’t even complete. How could he have any friends?

Now, the group finally understood. It seemed that Bone Cultivator was simply here to pick a fight with Ji Buqun today.

"Since you’re not dead, then get up."

Bone Cultivator nodded slightly, his white bone wings behind him gently flapping, stirring up gusts of wind, and his voice slowly sounded.

"As long as you take three more moves, then I will let this matter go."

What the hell?

As these words came out, Ji Buqun was instantly dumbfounded.

Three moves? Logically speaking, shouldn’t it be two moves? So what was that just now, a warm-up?

But whether it was two moves or three moves, Ji Buqun knew very well that he definitely couldn’t block them.

The previous move alone had severely injured him. Three more moves, this was going to beat him until his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"First move."

But Bone Cultivator didn’t give him time to prepare. With a flap of his white bone wings behind him, his entire body instantly shot into the sky, finally stopping ten thousand meters high, and his Aura began to climb.

"Bastard!!"

Seeing this scene, Ji Buqun cursed and also hastily began to gather his strength. He realized that if he didn’t fight for his life today, he might die here.

"You forced me!"

Ji Buqun slammed his right palm on the ground and shouted with a ferocious expression.

"Wailing Souls Tribulation!"

Boom!

Accompanying Ji Buqun’s action, the entire Demon Severing Ridge instantly vibrated. Immediately after, wisps of faint light-emitting souls flew out from the surrounding mountains, forests, and abyssal cracks, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Woo~!"

And as these souls appeared, mournful wails also resounded. Among them were ordinary people and Cultivators, all of them howling at the sky with resentful expressions.

The towering resentment made the many Quasi-Emperors watching the battle from afar frown.

Although they had many lives on their hands, most of them were killed out of necessity on the path of Cultivation. Those like Ji Buqun, who achieved Dao through killing, were very few.

And even if you kill, you don’t even spare their souls, enslaving them to fight. This is simply too much.

And those who appeared in the Demon Severing Ridge at this moment were all people killed by Ji Buqun. Now, even as souls, they were still being driven by the opponent to fight, so their resentment was naturally not small.

"Bone Cultivator!!"

Looking at the countless vengeful souls and evil spirits around him, Ji Buqun instantly regained his confidence and roared at Bone Cultivator in the air.

"Come and try to see if you can kill me!"

"Heh, as you wish."

Upon hearing this, Bone Cultivator sneered, his Aura already having climbed to its peak, and he said coldly.

"Take this move of mine."

As Bone Cultivator spoke, his white bone wings behind him flapped, and a huge Dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind him, which was Bone Cultivator’s true form. Following that, Bone Cultivator instantly swooped down with a world-destroying momentum, and wherever he passed, the surrounding space emitted sounds of unbearable strain.

"Dragon God Dive!"
