243: Alienated Supreme Bone Yang God

The peak, which spanned the heavens and earth, was covered with countless honeycomb-like caves. Outside the peak, there were circles of black tidal waves, and the residual power of each fluctuation was enough to kill a Dongxuan Realm Cultivator.

“This is the Black Abyss Tide, the gateway to Azure Rock Peak.

The corrosive energy within it grows stronger the deeper you go.

We must pass through quickly.”

Sword Ancestor's expression was solemn. A green light shot from his palm, covering his body and transforming into a streamlined green protective Sword Qi.

“Little friend, this Sword Light of mine… Hmm?”

He turned to add a protective Sword Light to Gu Changsheng, but saw Gu Changsheng’s body gradually dematerialize, as if he had merged into the entire Void Realm, and had already stepped into the edge of the tidal wave.

The black corrosive energy could not harm him in the slightest.

“This…”

Sword Ancestor was startled.

He had never seen such a method.

“Sword Ancestor, we need to hurry. Soon, the Taiyin Star will reach Perfection, the tidal energy will change, and the difficulty of entering will soar.”

Gu Changsheng’s voice, going from near to far, came from the Void Realm.

“Wait for this old Daoist!”

Sword Ancestor suddenly darted into the depths of the tide.

A moment later, he was surprised to find that his speed in the Black Abyss Tide could not keep up with Gu Changsheng’s speed.

One must know, he was a Six Tribulation Yang Spirit.

‘This person has extraordinary methods and must have many secrets…’

Sword Ancestor had this thought, then immediately dismissed it.

Which Cultivator who had reached this stage didn’t have secrets?

Sizzle sizzle—

The corrosive energy gradually grew stronger, but Gu Changsheng was like a swimming fish, his body pushing away the tidal energy. Such an exquisite method secretly astonished Sword Ancestor.

Fortunately, they passed through without incident, finally entering the interior of Azure Rock Peak before the Taiyin Star reached Perfection and the tidal energy intensified.

Sword Ancestor looked at the boundless caves, countless in number.

“Little friend, can you sense the location of the painan stone?”

Gu Changsheng infused his magical power into the precious umbrella. A thought was mysteriously transmitted from the umbrella bead, and his lips curved slightly: “Southwest direction, the three hundred and seventy-sixth cave.

The distance is at most ten thousand li.”

“That’s good. In the outer reaches of Azure Rock Peak, there shouldn’t be any strange giant beasts above the Six Tribulation Yang Spirit level.”

Sword Ancestor nodded slightly, relieved.

The caves in Azure Rock Peak were all nests of Starry Sky Giant Beasts. If they were beyond one hundred thousand li, they belonged to the inner regions, where Divine-Grade Yang Spirit level Starry Sky Giant Beasts were everywhere.

Some were even giant beast communities, and even if Sword Ancestor encountered them, he could only turn and run.

“Good.

Little friend, I, this old Daoist, will lead the way ahead. You just guide us.”

Sword Ancestor threw out the Sword Tomb. Countless Spirit Treasure level Flying Swords flew out, condensing into a magnificent Sword Boat in the Void Realm, carrying the two deeper into the cave.

Clang clang—

The soaring speed and Sword Shadows instantly slew the bat-shaped giant beasts obstructing their path.

“Essence Devouring Bats… not yet at the Yang Spirit Realm… fortunately, not too troublesome…”

Sword Ancestor smiled.

Although these exotic beast groups were numerous, usually only a few elites and leaders were Yang Spirit Realm beings.

But when there were many of them, they were exceptionally troublesome.

Beside him, Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged, his finger lightly tapping the Void Realm, where an image of an Essence Devouring Bat appeared.

Immediately, a 【Essence Devouring】secret art appeared in his mind.

When facing an enemy, it could devour the opponent’s magical power, intensifying their consumption, which was quite good.

Suddenly, the bat swarm gathered like a black cloud, emitting high-frequency vibrating sound waves. The originally stable Sword Boat actually fluctuated, showing signs of collapsing.

A giant bat, several hundred zhang tall, darted out from the dark cave, its snow-white fangs flashing a glimmer of light in the dim cave.

“Essence Devouring Bat King!”

Sword Ancestor’s gaze sharpened. The Sword Tomb in his hand suddenly struck out. Only the sound of clashing metal was heard, sparks flew, illuminating the cave, and the Essence Devouring Bat King shrieked and flew away at extreme speed.

The scattered sparks illuminated its face.

Its body was covered in black fur, with four pairs of fleshy wings each a thousand zhang wide. Its head, however, was not like a rat’s, but a distorted, ferocious human face, with two snow-white fangs extending from the corners of its mouth, emitting a familiar fluctuation to Gu Changsheng.

The Supreme Bone Bloodline aura!

“This aura… This Essence Devouring Bat King was once a Yang Spirit Realm Cultivator of the Witch Clan before its transformation…”

Gu Changsheng revealed the secret.

In these twenty years, the two had ventured the Starry Sky Ancient Road together, and had long grown accustomed to Yang Spirit Realm Cultivators who had mutated into monsters.

“Six Tribulation Yang Spirit!

Little friend, retreat!”

Sword Ancestor flicked his finger. The magnificent Sword Boat immediately disintegrated, converging into a Sword Dragon that fiercely attacked.

A Six Tribulation Yang Spirit’s battle was not something Gu Changsheng could participate in.

He shifted his gaze, looking into the distance.

“According to my perception… it should be very close…”

Purple light appeared in his eyes. The originally dim cave became as bright as day, clearly visible.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng’s brows lit up with joy.

In the distant nest, a massive amount of spiritual materials were piled up, all treasures collected by the Essence Devouring Bat clan.

Among them, the fluctuation of a painan stone fragment was coming from there.

“Let’s do it!”

His body merged into the Void Realm, and a flash of escape light under his feet transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the depths of the cave.

Sword Ancestor would fight, and he would plunder the treasures. A clear division of labor!

Sizzle sizzle—

After advancing about several tens of li, a purple light curtain abruptly sealed the cave entrance. The massive amount of spiritual materials inside were already less than several tens of zhang from the entrance.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes slightly darkened. He noticed a gray stone fragment in the pile of spiritual materials, its fluctuation weak, but identical to that of a painan stone.

“A Restriction, huh…”

Five-colored flames appeared on his fingertips. It was the Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light.

“Go.”

The Five Elements Restriction Breaking Divine Light transformed into a colorful firebird, fiercely burning the purple light curtain. However, this Divine Ability, which had always been effective in the past, now met with failure.

The purple light curtain rippled, but remained unbroken.

‘Facing a Yang Spirit Realm level Restriction, this Divine Ability is indeed not as sharp as before…’

Gu Changsheng steeled his heart, performing a magical incantation. Layers of blood-red light appeared on his body.

Blood Burning Secret Art!

A massive amount of essence blood burned. The original five-colored firebird suddenly expanded, spewing five-colored light from its mouth, fiercely scorching the purple light curtain.

Visibly, the purple light curtain melted like soft candy under a flame, revealing an opening less than a foot wide.

At the same time, several tens of li away, a mournful shriek was heard.

Countless Essence Devouring Bats flew over at extreme speed.

“Damn it, we’ve been discovered… I need to finish this quickly.”

Gu Changsheng’s eyes sharpened. He threw out a silver long whip, which shot through the opening in the purple light curtain, transforming into a silver Dragon, and swallowed the painan stone fragment in one gulp.

This treasure was refined from the Dragon tendon of Gu Yang’s Dragon back then.

“Go!”

A flash of light, the silver Dragon transformed into a streak of light and landed in Gu Changsheng’s palm. A massive number of Essence Devouring Bats attacked, almost blocking the entire cave exit.

“Three Thousand Thunder Flashes!”

Gu Changsheng merged into the Void Realm, his feet shifting and changing. Three thousand Raikage Raikage bodies appeared in the Void Realm, and in the blink of an eye, he broke out of the encirclement.

A moment later, Sword Ancestor’s figure appeared before him.

At this moment, the man and the beast were fighting fiercely, Sword Shadows flickering, filling the entire battlefield.

“Sword Ancestor, we have the item. We need to get out of here…”

“Good.”

Sword Ancestor suddenly took a deep breath. Two illusory figures, one black and one white, appeared beside his body. As the illusory figures merged, the power of the Sword Tomb in his hand steadily climbed.

“One last Sword, for this beast!”

Clang—

A thick Sword Light swept across. The Essence Devouring Bat King, which was originally thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, with only a few Sword marks on its body, immediately let out a tragic cry. A pair of its fleshy wings were snapped, and foul blood splattered.

Suddenly, the Sword Light sharply deflected, sparks flew, and a snow-white fang broke into two pieces. Magical power surged, converging into a giant green hand, which suddenly grabbed the snow-white fang.

The two flew out at extreme speed.
