221: Chapter 221 Bone Emperor Form!

Meanwhile, on the external battlefield.

Di Gulov's Bone Domain Boundary was like a massive cage of white bones.

It tightly restricted Lu Xun, Bai Zhengyuan, and the others to the outside.

Bone spikes like a forest constantly stabbed from all directions, each attack carrying Abyssal Power that could corrode the soul.

With every swing of Lu Xun's chaos longsword, he could shatter large swathes of bone spikes.

But new bone spikes would immediately regenerate, appearing as if they were infinite.

"This isn't the way to go!"

Bai Zhengyuan said in a heavy voice while using a Holy Light shield to block the attacks of the bone spikes.

"The regenerative capacity of this domain is too strong; our stamina will be exhausted sooner or later!"

"Don't worry, our goal is only to stall Di Gulov."

Lu Xun's gaze was as sharp as a sword; he had long seen through the essence of this Bone Domain Boundary.

"The power of this domain stems from the connection between Di Gulov and the Abyssal Passage. As long as we cut that connection..."

Just as Lu Xun finished speaking.

A sudden change occurred!

The Bone Domain Boundary, which had been as stable as a mountain, suddenly began to shake violently!

Those constantly regenerating pale bone spikes seemed to have their life force drained away, as spiderweb-like cracks rapidly surfaced on their exteriors.

The skeletal barriers at the edge of the domain emitted a tooth-aching creaking sound and actually began to crumble away in pieces!

Di Gulov's figure, seated upon the Bone Throne, suddenly shuddered!

For the first time, an expression of unbelievable shock and fury appeared on his eerie and handsome face.

"Those useless wastes?!"

Di Gulov's dark-gold pupils suddenly constricted as he abruptly turned his head to look toward the Abyssal Passage.

He clearly felt that the Abyssal Power, which had been steadily flowing through the seven nodes, had suddenly dried up like a river cut in half!

The power source of the Bone Domain Boundary relied precisely on the energy support from the Abyssal Passage.

With the nodes destroyed, the domain's regenerative capacity and sturdiness were instantly compromised!

"Haha, that brat did a good job!"

Lu Xun's eyes flashed with brilliant light, knowing that this was definitely Lu Yin successfully executing the plan.

"Di Gulov, it seems the scales of victory are tilting toward us!"

"Chaos Primordial Slash!"

The ancient longsword in his hand emitted a clear and earth-shaking long cry.

The chaotic luster on the blade flowed at an unprecedented speed, as if drawing in all the stray energy from the surrounding heaven and earth!

A chaos sword qi spanning heaven and earth, carrying a supreme might as if splitting open the world, slammed into the crumbling Bone Domain Boundary!

"Holy Light: Spear of Judgment!"

Bai Zhengyuan's hair and beard flared out, his entire body's Holy Light like a burning white torch, condensing into a massive hundred-meter-long light spear!

Divine runes that purified everything flowed upon the light spear, tearing through the air with a thunderous whistle, closely following Lu Xun's sword qi!

"Mad Star Slash!"

Zhao Qianjun roared, his entire being like a burning meteor as the giant sword in his hand erupted with blinding silver light.

That light was not mere energy, but the condensed will and baleful aura of countless warriors.

It transformed into a massive sword qi that tore through the sky, slamming into the cracking Bone Domain Boundary!

"Mountain-Collapsing Earth-Rending Punch!"

Chen Qingtian followed closely behind, his fists clenched tight, muscles bulging with veins like dragons and snakes.

An unadorned punch was thrown, yet it drew upon the power of the earth.

Where the fist passed, space distorted, and a violent shockwave arrived later but struck simultaneously with Zhao Qianjun's sword qi!

"Holy Sword: God-Slaying Thought!"

Shura's low voice was like a great bell, and the gold cloth erupted with brilliance like the sun.

The blinding light nearly condensed into substance, turning into a golden river of stars flowing over Shura's arm.

As the power accumulated to its peak, his arm slashed down, the brilliant golden light seemingly cutting open space itself!

Rumble!

The combined full-power strike of five top human experts slammed heavily into the Bone Domain Boundary that had lost its energy support!

Without the continuous replenishment of Abyssal Power, the Bone Domain Boundary could no longer withstand such terrifying offensive power!

Like dry weeds before a scythe, the massive skeletal barriers shattered and collapsed inch by inch!

Countless bone spikes turned to dust, and the pervasive gray aura of decay was forcibly dispersed by the Holy Light!

However, within the shattered Bone Domain, Di Gulov's expression was calm to a terrifying degree.

His dark-gold pupils were like two bottomless cold ponds, reflecting the figures of the five human experts before him.

"Heh..."

Suddenly, a cold laugh of extreme contempt escaped from his pale lips.

"Ants, do you think cutting off the Abyssal energy can shake this Emperor?"

Di Gulov's figure slowly rose, and the moment he stood up.

Those fragments of the Bone Domain Boundary that were collapsing and turning into dust suddenly froze in that instant.

Then, as if drawn by an invisible gravitational pull, they frantically converged toward his body!

In just a blink of an eye, they transformed into a hideously styled set of bone armor.

"In three thousand years, you are the first ants to force this Emperor to use his [Bone Emperor Form]."

The moment his voice fell, the bone armor around his body suddenly emitted a hum like the wailing of ten thousand vengeful spirits.

The bone shards forming the armor began to proliferate wildly, condensing behind him into six pairs of bone wings that blotted out the sky.

The six pairs of bone wings behind Di Gulov snapped open, each wing like a blade tearing through the heavens, their edges flowing with dark-red Abyssal runes.

The bone wings vibrated slightly, and the time on the entire battlefield seemed to be forcibly frozen.

The air stagnated like iron, and even the distant roars of the demon army came to a sudden halt.

"Not good! Retreat!"

Lu Xun's pupils constricted, and he held the chaos longsword before him, drawing a Taiji arc.

As his sword intent flowed, a layer of chaos barrier, thin as a cicada's wing yet indestructible, instantly formed, protecting the five of them behind it.

Almost the instant the barrier formed, Di Gulov moved.

With just a slight vibration of the bone wings behind him, his entire person disappeared from his original spot. In the next instant, he appeared before the chaos barrier, his bone-armored right hand's five fingers spread open, pressing lightly against the barrier.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the chaos barrier that Lu Xun had deployed with all his strength actually shattered inch by inch like glass!

"What?!"

Bai Zhengyuan's pupils constricted, and his Holy Light instantly surged, transforming into a thick Holy Light shield to block in front of him.

Bang!

Di Gulov's palm pressed nonchalantly against the Holy Light shield; the shield couldn't even hold for an instant before it blew apart!

Bai Zhengyuan let out a muffled groan, his entire body sent flying backward as a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

"Old Bai!"

Zhao Qianjun let out a roar, his giant sword carrying a tragic aura of no-return as it slammed toward Di Gulov's neck.

"Ant."

Di Gulov didn't even turn his head, the bone wings behind him acting as if they had a life of their own.

A bone spike abruptly popped out, precisely striking the tip of Zhao Qianjun's giant sword.

Clang!

The massive sound of metal clashing made ears ache, and Zhao Qianjun only felt an irresistible force transmit through.

The giant sword nearly flew from his hands, and he staggered backward.
