Unrivaled Medicine God, page 977
Although the Stellar War Banner was an empyrean spirit treasure, it was unable to unleash its true power in Ye Yuan’s hands at all.
His realm was too low!
In terms of power, the power of the Life and Death Seal was a great deal stronger.
Of course, the Life and Death Seal’s consumption of divine essence was also enormous.
Even with his divine essence purity, it was still somewhat struggling to make ends meet.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swallowed several divine essence recovery medicinal pills.
“Everyone, don’t hold back anymore! Hurry up and use whatever moves you have! Otherwise, we’ll all have to die here! There’s only a distance of several thousand feet away from the bone mountain already. Everyone, double up!” Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.
He understood in his heart that apart from their squad, this team were all harboring ulterior motives.
Many people did not use their full strength at all. They were still saving their killing move, waiting to snatch the emperor bone at the end!
A quick glance around, they already rushed to the foot of the bone mountain. The surroundings were virtually all Fourth Firmament True God bone devils.
It was already impossible to want to turn back.
In their current states, there was no divine essence to let them kill their way back at all.
No path to retreat, then there was only advancing!
Those one Life and Death Seal after another of Ye Yuan made everyone stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.
There was actually still such a play?
When everyone fought, they normally would not release big moves unless it was an absolute last resort.
But Ye Yuan threw out one big move after another like it was free.
The key thing was that Ye Yuan could actually really release so many.
Was this guy … really a Second Firmament True God?
“Ahhh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
Tragic screams rose and ebbed, the casualties in the team were exacerbating.
The speed that the team was advancing became slower. The bone devils that they had to face naturally became more and more.
Furthermore, the strength of the bone devils got stronger and stronger, many people could not bear it.
Even Ye Yuan also gradually started to despair.
He did not think that the strengths of these bone devils at the back were actually powerful to such an extent.
Even if he used Sword Hollow Etch, it was also impossible to eradicate clean all at once!
“What to do, Brother Ye?” Song Yu forced back a bone devil and gritted his teeth and asked.
“What else can we do? Continue charging!” Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
This distance of several hundred feet in front of them was simply as far as the horizon despite being so near.
It was just that, so what even if rushed up the bone mountain?
Could it be that these bone devils would not chase after?
After reaching on top of the bone mountain, it would be even more hopeless!
100 feet!
90 feet!
…
30 feet!
20 feet!
10 feet!
Ye Yuan’s divine essence was being rapidly depleted. Finally, he suddenly fired out a Life and Death Seal, directly blasting away the bone devils in front of him.
Ahead was the bone mountain!
Ye Yuan suddenly dashed, rushing straight out of the bone devil army, and climbing up the bone mountain.
But he did not go up the mountain himself, but turned around and fired out a few more Life and Death Seals, helping Song Yu they all to charge out.
“Assist everyone!” Ye Yuan said without thinking after saving Song Yu.
Ye Yuan was not a goody-two-shoes, but he had his own principles.
Without these people, he could not barge through this bone devil army by himself too.
Now that he stormed over himself, he naturally could not stand by and not rescue those in danger.
Following that, one child of destiny after another charged out.
After the last person charged out, Ye Yuan already made the preparations to make one last desperate effort.
Who knew that at this time, that endless bone devil army actually scattered into piles of bones at this time.
The originally incomparably noisy wilderness suddenly became incomparably quiet.
This transition from commotion to quiet was extremely sudden, making everyone extremely not used to it.
But very soon, everyone’s faces revealed looks of wild elation.
“Hahaha! We finally cleared it! Damn! I even thought that I’d be dead for sure this time!”
“Isn’t that so? Facing many same realm bone devils at the same time, this kind of battle is really exhilarating!”
“All thanks to Brother Ye. If not for him resisting the vast majority of the bone devils by himself, we’d probably have long died out.”
…
They faced quite a few alone, while Ye Yuan practically faced more than a dozen, or even more, by himself.
He kept on charging at the forefront. It was equivalent to being a sharp blade. The enemies encountered were naturally also the most.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s fighting style without regard for his life also repelled a large group of bone devils.
It was because of this that there were only some remaining bone devils left for the others to handle. The pressure naturally reduced significantly.
Everyone understood in their hearts that if not for Ye Yuan, they would have long been completely annihilated. No one could think about getting out alive.
There was a wave of laughter and gaily chatting.
But Ye Yuan did not smile.
On the contrary, he had a solemn look on his face right now.
“What’s wrong, Brother Ye?” Song Yu asked. He was currently rejoicing, but then he saw Ye Yuan’s solemn look, immediately reining in his smile.
Ye Yuan frowned and said, “These bone devils were clearly controlled by the emperor bone. If this is his last measure, he should stop us at all costs. But … this bone devil army completely scattered!”
One sentence made everyone’s heart turn cold.
And right at this time, on top of the bone mountain, another skeleton … slowly stood up.
Yes, just one!
But everyone’s eyes immediately became wide-saucers. The feeling called despair was spreading in everyone’s hearts.
Chapter 1989. Bone Devil Three Swords |
“E-Empyrean bone devil! How … How can this be?”
Before their eyes, there was just one bone devil.
The undulation emitting off of this bone devil made everyone feel terror. What was this if not an Empyrean level bone devil?
No one could have expected that going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties to arrive at the opposite shore, what awaited them was an Empyrean level bone devil.
No wonder this emperor bone was never taken by people despite being placed here for so many years.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The Empyrean bone devil walked toward everyone step by step. Each step it took, was like stepping on everyone’s hearts, making people palpitate with fear and anxiety.
That might which blotted out the skies and covered the earth made everyone almost suffocate.
“Run!”
Finally, someone could not resist and turned around and ran away.
That child of destiny even used his strength to suckle, his speed swift to the extreme.
Ye Yuan did not move, staring fixedly at the Empyrean bone devil.
It was only to see the bone devil’s skeleton claw slowly raise up, and then lightly flicked. A streak of light blue flowing light tore across the night sky, accurately hitting that child of destiny who fled.
Bang!
The child of destiny directly exploded in the air, leaving not even residue behind.
Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, being shocked speechless by this scene.
Strong!
Too strong!
This was the strength of an Empyrean level bone devil. It made people unable to give rise to the slightest thought of resisting at all.
There was no chance of escaping.
As for joining hands to deal with this Empyrean bone devil … don’t joke around! Even if put everyone together, it was also not enough to fill the crevices between his teeth.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, “Senior, we came for the emperor bone. I wonder how we can get the emperor bone?”
The Empyrean bone devil turned its head rather mechanically, looking toward Ye Yuan.
The other people’s hearts leaped to their throats. Was this guy seeking death? He still wanted the emperor bone at this time?
Being stared at by the bone devil’s pair of holes, although Ye Yuan was startled, he did not panic.
He discovered that this bone devil had its own intelligence!
If it was the same as those bone devils previously, this Empyrean bone devil would have long annihilated them all, why would it wait until now?
To this Empyrean bone devil, this was merely a matter of raising a hand.
Hence, he asked boldly.
The bone devil’s pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Yuan and did not speak either, the air seemingly solidified.
Suddenly, the bone devil opened that skeleton mouth, the lower jaws moved, using a dry voice to say “As long as there’s someone … who can receive three of my sword moves, they can … take away … His Excellency’s remains.”
“Hiss!”
Everyone drew another mouthful of cold air.
Receiving three of your sword moves … who could still survive?
Forget about three sword moves, even one sword move could not be received either!
This joke was too much.
Ye Yuan looked at the bone devil and asked again, “Is it that if we can’t receive these three sword moves, we can’t leave?”
Everyone’s faces turned intent. Thinking of that guy who was instantly killed just now, they could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.
Who knew that that bone devil shook its head and said, “As long as you block one sword move, you can leave. These three sword moves, I’ll suppress my strength to the same realm as you.”
The bone devil seemed to have found the feeling, becoming much smoother when talking.
And when the group of children of destiny heard this, they immediately heaved a big sigh in relief.
If it unleashed this sword with Empyrean Realm, then no one needed to play anymore.
“Then … if there are several people at the same time who receive Senior’s three sword moves, what then?” Ye Yuan asked again.
This time, the bone devil replied very quickly, “First come, first serve.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up. Someone immediately stepped forward and said, “I’ll go first!”
This person’s strength was not weak; he was also a middle-stage Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse.
They were all children of destiny, avowed that their strength stood head and shoulders above all others.
At least, they would not lose to same rank martial artists!
“Idiot!” Zhou Yu could not resist scolding under his breath.
The Empyrean bone devil did not say much, directly pulling out a bone from its rib.
Then, the shape of that bone actually started transforming, finally turning into a bone sword that was neither short nor long.
“Empyrean spirit treasure!” Ye Yuan’s pupils constricted slightly as he cried out in surprise.
The others had clearly seen the actual situation too. Just now, they completely did not feel it. They did not expect that, in a blink of an eye, this Empyrean bone devil actually magicked out an empyrean spirit treasure.
That child of destiny’s pupils also shrunk slightly, revealing a solemn look.
“Receive three sword moves, then this empyrean spirit treasure will also belong to the person. I give you all three days’ time to recover divine essence. Three days later, I’ll attack.”
The bone devil said nonchalantly, then immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Three days’ time arrived in a twinkle. Everyone swallowed medicinal pills, their divine essence also pretty much recovered.
The bone devil and that child of destiny stood facing each other. The bone devil opened its mouth and said indifferently, “Now, this Empyrean is drawing his sword.”
The moment his voice faded, he stabbed the bone sword in his hand out indifferently.
Swish …
The air emitted a whistling sound. A horrifying undulation closed in on that child of destiny.
The child of destiny also made his move!
The long spear was akin to a long rainbow cutting across the sky, flying straight for that sword.
There was no fierce divine essence collision like imagined. The long spear in the child of destiny’s hands turned into a pile of dust under this sword.
Then, his entire person was also sliced into countless chunks, dissipating with the wind.
His entire person seemed to have been weathered away.
Everyone’s pupils, including Ye Yuan’s, all shrunk.
They knew that this Empyrean’s sword move would be very strong. But they did not expect that it would be strong to such an extent.
That child of destiny also stormed over together with them.
Not saying that his strength was extremely strong, but it was at least not considered weak among this group of people.
However, he could not even block the Empyrean bone devil’s one sword move!
The power of this sword move absolutely far surpassed the standard of a Fourth Firmament True God.
Even a Fifth Firmament True God was likely also completely not a match.
This was still just the first sword move. Then the second sword move and third sword move, how terrifying would they be?
Everyone could not help feeling a chill run down their spines. This Empyrean bone devil’s strength was too horrifying.
“Next!”
The Empyrean bone devil clearly did not plan on giving everyone time to be afraid and directly wanted to start the next round.
This time, no one jumped out.
No one dared to go and receive this sword.
“If there’s no one, this Empyrean will pick,” the Empyrean bone devil said coolly.
Everyone’s faces changed but saw the Empyrean bone devil extend his bone finger, and then he pointed at one of the children of destiny.
That child of destiny immediately felt his scalp tingle. The others also slightly heaved a sigh in relief.
That child of destiny stood there, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot, unable to even more.
“Not accepting the battle, directly annihilate.” The Empyrean bone devil went straight to the point.
That child of destiny’s face changed. Directly being annihilated, that was annihilating with the strength of Empyrean Realm.
If that was the case, he had even less of a chance.
Bracing himself, he stepped forward.
Then, the result did not have the least bit of surprise. He was obliterated with one sword move!
Following that, the Empyrean bone devil started picking several more people. But no one could receive a single move of his.
These Fourth Firmament True God proud sons of heaven were as feeble as tofu in front of this sword.
There were roughly close to 40 people who made it through the bone devil army.
The remaining were virtually all elites among elites. But in a blink of an eye, another seven to eight died.
The Empyrean bone devil’s finger was just like a death-hastening talisman.
Whoever it pointed to, they died!
After the Empyrean bone devil annihilated a child of destiny, his finger pointed, landing on Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu’s face changed, toughening his scalp and stepping out of the ranks.
Chapter 1990. Different Appraisal |
Zhou Yu’s complexion was somewhat pale. No one knew whether it was because he was somewhat nervous or because he was afraid.
Walking in front of the Empyrean bone devil, Zhou Yu took out that empyrean spirit treasure and drew a deep breath.
Suddenly, he swung his rod horizontally, with the aura on his body suddenly changing. A profound power of law wrapped around him.
“What powerful law undulations! It turned out that this is his true strength!”
“Those people previously are far too lacking compared to Zhou Yu!”
“Maybe he can really block this sword.”
…
When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.
Although Zhou Yu was still accumulating momentum, the law undulations on his body clearly far surpassed those powerhouses of the same rank.
Him striking a powerhouse of the same rank dead with a blow, what he relied on was not just an empyrean spirit treasure.
When fighting with Ye Yuan previously, he did not use his full strength either.
The Empyrean bone devil still stabbed indifferently, sweeping away all obstacles in the way.
Zhou Yu gave a loud cry and suddenly slammed his rod out.
At the places where the rod passed by, fine cracks would appear in space.
“One Staff Questioning the Heavens!”
Two formidable forces collided together directly, immediately stirring up a horrifying air billow, blowing until everyone’s face hurt.
A muffled groan came out of Zhou Yu’s mouth as if being hit by a sledgehammer, directly being struck to the ground. He was wildly spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Zhou Yu’s complexion was white as paper, already sustaining heavy injuries.
However, he did not have despair on his face. Instead, he had a look of joy.
He blocked this sword, completing this impossible task.
Up to this point, he was the first genius martial artist to perform to this step.
