I Can Extract Divine Power

Ahead, a terrifying expanse of densely packed bones stretched out.

As Shen Bai watched, he noticed something.

At the rear of the expanse, a number of bones were gradually coalescing.

The coalescing mass of bone exuded a palpable aura of death and decay.

An immense Bone Giant slowly took shape.

This Bone Giant, however, was not Emperor Tianyun. The aura it radiated was eerie and unnatural.

"To escape, he even created an abomination?" Shen Bai said in surprise.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the surroundings changed once more.

In an instant, the countless bones turned into an endless cloud of ash.

The Bone Abomination took a deep breath.

It absorbed the entire cloud of ash.

And its aura swelled, growing at a visible rate.

Meridian Passage... Unity... Void Transformation... Celestial Spirit!

In a mere moment, the Bone Abomination reached the Celestial Spirit Realm. A power capable of warping space itself surged from its body.

"ROAR!"

The Bone Abomination threw its head back and let out a silent roar.

The shockwave erupted, spreading at a visible rate.

The light of the Flawless Ten Layers Body flared around Shen Bai.

The next moment, half of its layers were gone.

Nan Huang and the others spat blood and were sent flying backward.

The Battle Array formed by Zhou Qing and his group shattered in an instant. Expressions of pain and despair twisted their faces.

An aura as terrifying as an ocean emanated from the Bone Abomination, making it seem like the very source of all evil.

"It’s even more terrifying than Zhu Xueshuang," Nan Huang couldn’t help but shout.

He was already deathly pale.

Despair clouded everyone’s faces.

A single roar had been enough to grievously injure them. They dared not imagine how terrifying a real attack would be.

The Celestials’ gazes all fell upon Shen Bai.

In their despairing eyes, a glimmer of hope remained.

There was little hope on the faces of the Celestial Pride Salvation Society members. Only the Celestials from the Great Zhou Country were filled with it.

"Lao Shen, get him!" Zhou Qing grimaced, feeling a sharp pain in his lungs.

Ouyang Sword wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother Shen, it’s all up to you."

Qin Shuang was in slightly better shape. Luminous characters appeared one after another, settling onto Shen Bai.

This was a blessing unique to Scholars—a blessing of words that could make Shen Bai even stronger.

The Celestials of the Great Zhou Country shouted in unison, "Lord Shen, you must slay this beast!"

Nan Huang and the other members of the Celestial Pride Salvation Society all wore looks of utter disbelief.

This abomination was even more terrifying than Zhu Xueshuang.

So why did this group of Celestials from the Great Zhou Country have such unwavering faith in Shen Bai?

"You don’t understand."

Zhou Qing’s eyes were calm. "That’s just how Lao Shen is. Others can turn the tide in a desperate situation, but no one does it like him."

"Brother Shen has never been defeated." Ouyang Sword straightened his back proudly.

The other Celestials from the Great Zhou Country agreed. "He is the Nine Extremes Young Master, the Prefecture Chief, and the most revered individual of our generation in the Great Zhou Country."

Nan Huang gave a bitter smile. "You all... Sigh."

He didn’t know what to say. He wanted to tell them just how terrifying this abomination was—that even masters who had just entered the Celestial Spirit Realm would turn and flee at the mere sight of it.

But the words died on his lips; he couldn’t bring himself to shatter their delusion.

Just then, Qin Shuang finished bestowing all her blessings on Shen Bai and pumped a pale, delicate fist.

"Shen Bai, be careful!"

’These strange characters have boosted my strength by quite a bit.’ He was amazed by the unique skills of Scholars.

Just then, the Bone Abomination closed the distance. It raised a giant palm and slammed it down toward Shen Bai.

The terrifying whistle of its descent was like a steel blade scraping bone.

Faint cracks even appeared in space itself.

Excitement flashed in Shen Bai’s eyes. "A worthy blow!"

’I wonder how much Evil Qi such a powerful abomination will yield. I’m running low right now.’

The Cold Moon formed a hook, and the Buddha’s Light gleamed like gold. Dao Text intertwined with shadows, while Water Flow overlapped with an Array.

A sword and a fist.

"BOOM!"

The clash of their attacks unleashed a massive shockwave, kicking up a thousand-fold surge.

Shen Bai was sent flying, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Not far away, a hairline crack appeared on the Bone Abomination’s hand.

Seeing this, Nan Huang cried out, "Lord Shen, are you alright?!"

He was worried, seeing that Shen Bai had been injured in a single exchange.

One of the Celestials said, "He’s fine."

Nan Huang turned his head in surprise.

The Celestial looked at Nan Huang and explained, "One of his Nine Extremes is a terrifying Recovery Power. Jianghu People call Lord Shen’s green light ’Vitality Unbroken.’"

’Recovery Power?’

Nan Huang paused, stunned.

Before he could speak, the green light of the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Skill flared around Shen Bai, and his injuries healed in an instant.

Nan Huang’s eyes widened.

"Lord Shen’s sword is like a blood moon; his fist, a vajra. His Dao Text resembles Immortal Text, and his shadows are like a curse," the Celestial continued, his voice full of admiration.

Nan Huang’s mouth twitched. "How are you so familiar with all this?"

"Because I was beaten by Lord Shen during the internal exam." The Celestial said this with immense pride, as if it were something to brag about.

Nan Huang: "..."

’Have things in the Great Zhou Country gotten this wild these days?’

"BOOM!"

Another thunderous crash echoed.

Shen Bai’s robes billowed as another burst of green light enveloped him. "How exciting! Other than Wang Tianxing, you’re the first one to give me such a thrill! Again!"

His Cold Moon and his fist descended upon the Bone Abomination once more.

Now, both fighters were blurs of motion, the air filled with the constant boom of their clashes.

Inch by inch, cracks appeared on the Bone Abomination’s body.

"CRACK!"

The crisp sound of cracking bone rang out.

The next moment, as if succumbing to an overwhelming pressure that had finally reached its limit, the Bone Abomination crumbled completely.
