Xuanwu War Sovereign

A storm was coming.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the dungeon, wisps of grayish-white Soul Fire from within Qin Feng’s Spiritual Sea were being continuously absorbed by his True Soul Body.

Having broken through the confinement of the Bone Chains, the Bone Softening Cave had instead become Qin Feng’s private cultivation ground.

The Fire of Hope had previously devoured a great number of Bone Demons, and now every last drop of that power was being converted into Qin Feng’s foundation.

His True Soul Body had long since broken through eight inches to reach the nine-inch limit.

In terms of the power of his True Soul Body, Qin Feng was already on par with some veteran Martial Arts Giants.

All that was left was to overcome his tribulation and transform his soul into the Martial Dao True Soul that only a Martial Arts Great Power could possess.

A soul compared to a True Soul is like tofu compared to a Vajra—that is the greatest difference between them.

A Martial Dao True Soul already possessed some of the properties of immortality.

’It seems it’s time to break through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm! Only by reaching the Sea of Reincarnation Realm can I comprehend more of the Chaos Tree’s secrets and grasp the Void Mystical Meaning!’ With a soft sigh, Qin Feng prepared to completely shatter his bone shackles.

However, Qin Feng knew it wasn’t the right time to advance.

Qin Feng was waiting for the inevitable clash between Lady Bai Gu and King Xuan Yang.

...

「In the core palace of the White Bone Red Cave.」

Within the grand palace, carved beams and painted pillars shone with magnificent splendor amidst swirling clouds of mist.

A voice brimming with explosive power rang out.

"So, what do you say, Lady Bai Gu? Join me. It would be a win-win situation!"

The speaker was powerfully built, clad in crimson iron armor. His strong physique radiated explosive power, but it was his eyes that were most striking—they burned like fire, filled with an unstoppable aggression.

"As everyone knows, for a Martial Arts Giant to break through to the Martial Arts Great Power Realm, one must pass nine Chaos Celestial Tribulations. A One-Tribulation Great Power achieves a Thought-Transformed True Soul. A Two-Tribulation Great Power achieves True Soul Condensing Yin. A Three-Tribulation Great Power achieves Pure Yang Born from Thought. You and I have both passed two tribulations, and our True Souls have already transformed into Pure Yin True Souls. With just a spark of Yang Fire, we can achieve the state of Yin Reaching Yang and comprehend the Mystical Meaning of Yin and Yang!"

The crimson-robed King Xuan Yang’s gaze burned as he stared at the Lady of Unparalleled Beauty. "Lady Bai Gu, you possess a body of extreme yin. While this aptitude allowed you to cultivate with twice the result for half the effort and pass two Chaos Celestial Tribulations early on, you also suffer because of it. You have never been able to grasp the True Meaning of Yin and Yang. You know that I possess a Mysterious Sun Divine Body, which contains a spark of true yang. I am uniquely gifted in the Pure Yang Martial Dao, and comprehending Pure Yang is only a matter of time for me. If we were to dual cultivate, we might just grasp the Mystical Meaning of Yin and Yang!"

A cold sneer spread across the Lady of Unparalleled Beauty’s face, her icy gaze fixed on King Xuan Yang. "Xuanyang, save your breath. True yang is not Pure Yang. You may have a Mysterious Sun Divine Body and possess six Mysterious Sun Divine Bones, but at best, yours is a body of a single yang. True Pure Yang consists of nine yangs. Only when all nine combine does one form the supreme Pure Yang Divine Body. You can stop showing off that little theory of yours!"

"Me, dual cultivate with you? In your dreams!"

BOOM!

A brilliant crimson light erupted from King Xuan Yang, and the temperature throughout the Red Face Bone Cave suddenly skyrocketed.

King Xuan Yang turned, his eyes fixed on the peerless beauty, a hint of cold indifference within them. "Bai Qin’er, it seems a battle between us is unavoidable!"

Bai Qin’er was, in fact, Lady Bai Gu’s real name.

Only a few people knew her real name, and King Xuan Yang was one of them.

From her throne, Bai Qin’er’s beautiful eyes shimmered, as cold as the frosty moon in the highest heavens. "King Xuan Yang, I hear you’ve cultivated that Supreme Furnace Scripture you found all the way to the Ninth Layer! This time, I shall see for myself just what trump card is making you act so arrogantly!"

"I hope you won’t regret this." Without another sound, King Xuan Yang’s clone dissipated.

Lady Bai Gu sneered. ’As if I don’t know what that King Xuan Yang is scheming.’

’He just wants to plunder my Yuan Yin and devour my Bone Hell, all in the hope of fusing yin and yang to grasp their ultimate Mystical Meaning.’

BOOM!

The entire Red Face Bone Cave began to shake as a terrifying heatwave poured inside.

Just then, Lady Bai Gu’s expression changed, and she looked up.

In the main hall, the expressions of a group of Bone Commanders changed simultaneously. "He’s making his move already!"

Beside the throne, a beautiful woman in white said with a grim look, "My Lady, it seems King Xuan Yang was already prepared!"

Lady Bai Gu felt a sense of foreboding. ’King Xuan Yang’s attack is too swift this time.’

’Something is very wrong!’

From outside the hall, a young woman in white rushed in.

Inside the hall, over a dozen Bone Commanders turned their gazes to the white-robed young woman. She was Lady Bai Gu’s other Grand Commander besides You Ji: the Spirit Maiden.

She, too, was a One-Tribulation Great Power.

But at this moment, the Spirit Maiden’s face was pale and fraught with anxiety.

"My Lady, all Nine Passes of Yin Mountain have fallen!"

"So quickly!"

Everyone in the hall, including You Ji, turned pale with shock.

The Nine Passes of Yin Mountain were the nine defensive checkpoints protecting the White Bone Red Cave. Normally, even when at a disadvantage, it would take King Xuan Yang at least ten to fifteen days to breach them.

RUMBLE!

Just then, the entire White Bone Red Cave began to tremble violently. The very earth seemed to quake as rocks rained down from the ceiling, threatening to collapse.

Seated on her throne, Lady Bai Gu’s gaze seemed to pierce through the entire Cave Mansion. She could see that outside the White Bone Red Cave, countless skeletons, spurred on by King Xuan Yang, had formed a colossal Profound Sun Divine Axe that was violently smashing against her domain.

The terrifying heat radiating from the Profound Sun Divine Axe hinted at a vast, fiery-red kingdom contained within. The fluctuations of power from the axe had already surpassed the level of a Martial Dao Three-Tribulation Great Power.

Faintly, Pure Yang was being born from the Void!

As its light illuminated the world, the Array operated by the many Bone Demons within the White Bone Red Cave was revealed to be full of weaknesses.

With nearly every strike, thousands of the cave’s experts were shaken to death, their bodies turned to dust.

’No wonder Xuanyang is so brazen. He actually mastered the Mysterious Sun Armor-Breaking Great Divine Power. The armor-piercing force of this Profound Sun Divine Axe is said to be capable of Heaven and Earth Creation, making it a powerful counter to many Battle Arrays. But it’s not enough to deal with me!’

With a cold laugh, the crumbling Cave Mansion suddenly solidified. An invisible light bloomed from the Void, linking the countless bones on the periphery and suppressing the tremors.

"Have my children unite! Form the Array of All Heavens White Bone Yuan Gen Gods and Demons! All disciples, follow me! We will channel the Bone Hell to power the Grand Array!"

Lady Bai Gu rose to her full height. A heaven-piercing wave of Evil Qi surged forth, sweeping through the entire Cave Mansion and causing the very Void to tremble.

Faintly, a vast world manifested behind her.

It was a massive world, tens of thousands of zhang across, complete with mountains, seas, clouds, and trees. But the mountains were the colossal White Bone Mountain, the sea was the endless Sea of Vengeful Spirits, a gloomy moon hung overhead, and the land was deep and shrouded in darkness.

This was no longer a true world.

It was just like the Nine Netherworld Territory itself.

In the main hall, seven or eight Bone Commanders exchanged a look, let out a long cry, and transformed into streaks of white light that shot into the Bone Hell.

Visible to the naked eye, the Bone Hell instantly doubled in size, and the phantom world grew even more immense.

The aura emanating from Lady Bai Gu’s body abruptly tripled or quadrupled in strength, stacking upon itself like endless mountain ranges, powerful enough to shatter the firmament.

In the Bone Softening Cave, feeling the violent tremors from above, Qin Feng opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed within them. An invisible force erupted from him, and with a sharp CLANG, the Bone Lock Chains around his body instantly shattered, sending countless fragments flying in all directions.
