Chapter 496 - 489: Entering the Gate of Bones (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Swish swish!
Footsteps flickering, Lu Xuanji advanced rapidly.
He walked through channel after channel, pressing deeper.
Along the way, encountering Demon Race strong ones, he killed them without mercy; when encountering Human Race strong ones, he assessed the situation.
Fighting all the way, battling for at least a dozen times.
As he walked, a loud commotion came from ahead.
Lu Xuanji activated [Chaos Map], immediately causing his aura to disrupt, concealing his presence.
Ahead was a massive square, immensely large, with a ground made of Black Steel Rock, as solid as can be, capable of withstanding strikes from powerhouses without shattering.
In front of the square, there was a gigantic gate, seemingly made of stone, appearing weathered and ancient.
There were some broken marks on the stone gate, as if it had witnessed countless ages.
On the main gate, four large characters were engraved.
[Gate of White Bone]
Inside the grand hall, both sides were locked in chaotic combat.
Approximately over thirty cultivators were engaged in the battle, including both Human and Demon Races, fighting intensely.
At that moment, a Demon Race cultivator transformed into a stream of light, entering the Gate of White Bone.
The other cultivators glanced over, showing a hint of hesitation.
Then, a Human Race cultivator also went inside.
It was as if there was some inexplicable attraction, as one cultivator after another entered, vanishing into it.
The ongoing fierce battle inexplicably came to an end.
Only three or five cultivators remained outside, hesitating.
"Legend has it that within the Gate of White Bone, there exists the inheritance of the White Bone lineage, which is also the core of the White Bone Hall!"
Lu Xuanji combined some legends, and based on some data from his phone, vaguely guessed something.
In this Secret Realm, the most precious treasure is the White Bone Demon Hall.
By grade, the White Bone Demon Hall is a top-grade Spirit Treasure, a palace type, with astounding power and various auxiliary effects. Both Human Race and Demon Race Divinity Transformations desire to seize and even refine this supreme treasure.
Unfortunately, many Divinity Transformations have attempted, but all declared failures.
Though they failed, some details were discovered.
That is, deep within the White Bone Demon Hall lies a Gate of White Bone, which is the core of the hall.
It seems that as long as the Gate of White Bone is refined, the opportunities within can be obtained.
Numerous cultivators entered, whether Human Race Nascent Souls or Demon Race Nascent Souls, like moths to a flame, into the Gate of White Bone.
Entering this gate might mean facing death.
If the Gate of White Bone is refined, controlling the White Bone Demon Hall, it equates to having a top-grade Spirit Treasure protector, which can be called a world-shaking opportunity.
Achieving Divinity Transformation in the future holds a glimmer of hope.
On the path of cultivating immortality, daring to risk everything might not always lead to success and could end in failure, turning into dust; but not daring to risk it at all yields not even a slight chance.
...
Looking at the Gate of White Bone, Lu Xuanji suddenly thought of the Chaos Ancient Hall.
In the Chaos Ancient Hall, there is also a core position called the Gate of Chaos.
Only by refining the Gate of Chaos can one control the Chaos Ancient Hall.
But now, the Chaos Ancient Hall was in Qinglian’s hands.
"I have the Grotto World Pearl, no need to take risks!"
Lu Xuanji pondered.
At this moment, he sensed a terrifying aura descending, focusing his spirit, he saw it was Earth Celestial Venerable.
To be precise, only an incarnation of Earth Celestial Venerable.
Earth Celestial Venerable descended here, gazing around.
As if discovering something, he struck out towards the void.
The void trembled violently, and instantly a faint aura escaped from Lu Xuanji, who then tumbled out from the void.
Witnessing this, Lu Xuanji felt a bit helpless but still advanced and said, "Greetings, senior!"
"Not long ago, were you the one who killed True Monarch Divine Wind?"
Earth Celestial Venerable inquired, his eyes observing Lu Xuanji’s expression changes.
Lu Xuanji’s expression slightly changed, feeling a sense of unease.
"Venerable, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Did you kill him?"
Earth Celestial Venerable questioned.
"Yes!"
Lu Xuanji replied.
"He was my son. You killed him, so you must pay with your life!" A flash of anger appeared in the eyes of Earth Celestial Venerable, as he launched a lethal punch.
The punch was struck, like an iron hammer, forceful and fierce, seemingly tearing everything apart.
This punch was delivered without earth-shattering anomalies, but was ordinary-looking.
Like a mundane martial artist, delivering a fatal punch.
But at the moment this punch was delivered, Lu Xuanji immediately sensed a huge danger.
Almost by instinct, a Nine-Colored Divine Saber appeared on his hand, vibrating the void like bees flapping their wings.
In the world, powers of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Elemental Magnetic, Starlight, Space-Time, Power of Extinction, and various forces gathered on the long saber, converting it into a strike of extinction.
The speed was fast and fierce, like celestial punishment.
"All flash and no substance!"
Earth Celestial Venerable sneered, his words full of disdain, as if looking down on an ant of mere will.
The mighty iron fist continued its smashing descent.
As the fist crashed down, it trembled nine times in succession, forming a stacking power each time, and after stacking nine times, it crashed onto the long saber.
Fist and long saber collided.
The void exploded!
Destructive waves swept across, as both sides collided fiercely!
Only after a moment of deadlock, the Nine-Colored Divine Saber snapped apart.
"Die!"
At that instant, the previously exhausted fist gathered power once more and struck fiercely.
The force was as fierce as it was when the punch was initially thrown, unabated.
"Swish!"
At that moment, Lu Xuanji activated [Lonely Boat with Raincoat and Hat Painting] to block.
Bang, bang!
In mere moments, the painting scroll tumbled, and the mental imprints within it collapsed instantly.
Lu Xuanji spat blood from his mouth.
Buzz buzz!
The fist struck again, pounding against the Immortal Divine Ring in succession, destroying layer after layer without pause.
In just an instant, five divine rings shattered.
At this moment, the iron fist struck Lu Xuanji’s chest, the sound of ribs cracking sounded, clear and sharp.
Then, the fist hit the heart, and the heart shattered.
Fist force impacted the body, instantly turning it into a pulp.
Fist force continued to surge forth, about to annihilate his Nascent Soul.
Buzz buzz!
At that moment, the Pure Yang Broken Sword stood in front.
The seemingly invincible fist encountered its first obstacle.
Lu Xuanji’s body flew backward, drenched in blood, like a torn sack.
As his body flew backward, it smashed into the Gate of White Bone.
Brush!
The light on the Gate of White Bone flickered.
Lu Xuanji vanished into it.
...
"What a formidable Xuanji True Monarch, even with my three punches, I cannot kill him!"
Earth Celestial Venerable showed a hint of curiosity.
But the murderous intent was surging.
"Gate of White Bone, nine deaths and one life. Our group successively sent incarnations into it, trying to refine the Gate of White Bone, yet failed! He may not succeed either. However, alive or dead, we must find the truth. If I do not personally witness his death, do not strip his skin, I cannot rest!"
He showed a look of hatred in his eyes.
