Chapter 621B – God Skeleton

Shua –

In a palace, Old Ghost fiercely opened his eyes. His face was full of anger!

There was no need for reason. His intuition told him that the person who arrived was the same person who had killed Speechless. How did this person know he was here?

But thinking about this was no longer useful. Old Ghost took a deep breath and a sharp light shone in his eyes. If it was some other place he would have fled without hesitation. But, this Carp Archipelago was his roots. If this place was ruined then he would die without a doubt.

In other words, he could not retreat today. He could only meet this opponent head on!

He took a deep breath and stood up. He took a step forward. When he next appeared he was in the skies above the archipelago. His gaze drifted off towards the horizon.

A white-haired youth was walking towards him along the waves. His robes flapped around him and a formidable aura gradually melded together with the world.

“Demon Sovereign!”

Old Ghost cried out in alarm.

Qin Yu lightly said, “My injuries have yet to recover. I will take you all as my grinding stones and temper my will to pass this tribulation.”

He lifted a fist and punched out. The world fiercely shook as strength rumbled forth like a massive tide.

Looking forward, the sea instantly split in half, forming an abyss!

Old Ghost roared. “Demon Sovereign, if you let me go then I am willing to join the Demonic Path and be used by the Holy Palace!”

He thrust his hands forwards. Black fog gushed out from the void, forming a thick barrier before him.

Dang –

With a deep ring the fog sunk inwards. Then, a wild strength erupted, tearing the fog into pieces. It tumbled about, rapidly disappearing from sight.

Old Ghost backed up. His face was pale but his eyes were blazingly bright, filled with wild joy and disbelief.

The Demon Sovereign had arrived here by himself. He wouldn’t be so bored as to be playing a joke on him. Moreover, Old Ghost had felt the swift killing intent in that strike. It might have been strong, but it didn’t reach the standard that the Demon Sovereign should possess.

It was true! The Demon Sovereign was injured!

Just like Speechless, Old Ghost suddenly firmed his resolve. No matter what price he had to pay he would kill the Demon Sovereign today. This was the best chance for him to change his destiny!

He turned and shot up into the skies.

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. He never thought that Old Ghost would react like this. He raced forward in pursuit.

In the skies above Carp Archipelago, explosive sounds began to ring out one after another. The fierce rumbles roared like thunder.

The massive hole that swallowed up millions of native lives suddenly emitted a repressed and excited gasp.

Atop the stone pillar, the skeleton that was covered with ‘bloodlines’ suddenly opened its mouth and released a silent cry.

Old Ghost’s approaching body burst apart in midair. He changed into a mass of crimson blood that was completely absorbed by the skeleton.

Organs, flesh, blood, hair, everything started to regrow…in just several breaths of time the skeleton regenerated into a living being.

What appeared was a middle-aged man. He had an incomparably tall and strong body. Deep killing intent blazed in his eyes.

The man placed one hand across his chest and slightly bowed. “Please allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wei Zongyuan, a descendant of Great Wei’s royal family. Unfortunately, I have disgraced my ancestors in these past years and thus had to conceal my identity. Right now, Your Majesty is the only one in this world who knows my true identity. If I am killed here today by Your Majesty, I ask that you set up a memorial tablet for me and leave behind my true name. Of course, if I luckily manage to kill Your Majesty, I will also properly bury your remains for you.”

Qin Yu nodded, “I promise you.”

Wei Zongyuan straightened himself. “Your Majesty, I must offend you!”

He took a step forward. Like a million mountains falling, the entire world violently shook and emitted deep crackling groans.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Countless cracks appeared in space. Then, they moved and separated themselves from space, condensing into a black saber in Wei Zongyuan’s hands.

Shua –

The saber slashed downwards. Qin Yu’s body unexpectedly stiffened as a numbing feeling appeared between his eyebrows and started to rapidly spread outwards.

What an incredibly terrifying saber!

Qin Yu lifted a hand and grasped forward. Within the shaking space all around, countless translucent lines appeared. Then, these lines were grabbed by Qin Yu and pulled backwards. With this action, the phantom of a great bow appeared. The translucent lines shined with countless motes of light as they condensed into an arrow.

He let go and the arrow shot out with rage. This arrow was formed from the killing intent of the world’s rules and had an absolute attribute of tearing apart all.

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out as terrifying shockwaves smashed into the sky-reaching stone pillar. Although it was covered with traces of erosion it was actually indestructible. With a light humming sound, a formidable suppressive strength was released, containing the shockwaves of the collision to a small area.

Wei Zongyuan looked down at the bloody hole that appeared in his chest. He revealed a look of admiration.

“The Holy Palace’s Demon Body cultivation arts can temper the mortal body into a living treasure. By communicating with the world, you can directly summon the strength of the rules. The power is indeed terrifying. It seems that by relying on my strength alone it will be impossible to kill you.”

He looked up and there was madness in his seemingly calm eyes, “Perhaps by doing this I will no longer be me; my consciousness might even lose its dominant role. But I will continue to live, and I will live forever. In truth, this in itself is enough. To survive, I am willing to pay any price.”

His lips lifted in a smile. Then, Wei Zongyuan flew to the peak of the stone pillar and knelt down, placing a hand on the pillar. “Many, many years ago I discovered you and suppressed you, taking in your flesh and blood to survive. I know that you hate me to the marrow of your bones, but now is the best opportunity for the both of us. You can regain your freedom and I will be able to live on; both of us will benefit. If you want, then release your strength and merge into one with me.”

As his voice fell, countless cracks began to form on the stone pillar beneath him.

Through tens of millions of years, countless ‘raisings’ of natives had maintained the production of god blood and also permeated this stone pillar with an immense power.

As the master of these natives’ bloodline, he wielded their life and death. Naturally, he could also borrow this bloodline that seeped into the stone to destroy it from within.

Bang –

A bloody slaughter intent shot up into the skies. In the blink of an eye it formed a pillar of clouds that connected straight to the heavens. It released a terrifying and constraining aura that shook the mind and left one wallowing in despair.

With a loud cry, the stone pillar smashed into pieces. A skeleton drenched in blood flew out from the massive hole below.

It hung in midair. Soul flames blazed in its eyes…these flames were pure gold in color!

Honored, mysterious, capable of holding all things in this world.

In the ancient rumors, there were spiritual gods in this world. Their souls were gold…this was the skeleton of a spiritual god!

To reverse the limits of life that the rules placed on a person and continue living even though one should have withered away, a person naturally needed to draw upon strength that surpassed the rules.

And the strength of a spiritual god was enough to achieve this!

Even if it was only the skeleton of a god that had perished countless years ago, it still retained an incomparably formidable will.

An invisible pressure swept out in rippling tides. Wherever it went, the world trembled.

The golden divine flames in its eye sockets looked at Wei Zongyuan. It seemed to be considering something.

Suddenly, the golden divine fires blazed higher. Golden lines started to appear on the blood-drenched skeleton.

In the next moment, with these lines as the divisions, the skeleton blew apart into countless pieces.

These shattered god bones lost all of their might and energy. This was because all of its strength was taken back into its soul.

This golden soul was like a great blazing sun. it emitted a light so bright that one couldn’t look straight at it.

Faintly, one could see a towering figure within this light. It seemed to support the skies, looking upon the world with disdain.

Whoosh –

The golden soul flew out and submerged between Wei Zongyuan’s eyebrows.

Wei Zongyuan closed his eyes and gently shivered. After several breaths of time, when he opened his eyes once more, his pupils had turned light gold in color. He looked down at his hands. After a brief silence he gently sighed and said, “I never thought there would be a day that I revived.”

He looked up and his gaze covered Qin Yu. “Low and humble mortal. Your aura actually causes my heart to race. Although I have no idea what it is, after today, everything of yours will be mine.”

At this time, Wei Zongyuan’s consciousness had been suppressed by this spiritual god from ancient times. He had lost himself and…become a god!
