At this moment, the Black Grinding Ridge trembled violently. A blade aura that spanned the sky descended, splitting mountains stretching for thousands of miles, releasing countless sword energies. Many Underworld soldiers perished amidst their horrified screams.
“Don’t panic! Quickly position the battle formations!” shouted the twelve Bone Tribe commanders, a mix of shock and fury in their voices.
As expected of a well-trained army, after being ambushed, this Underworld army immediately stabilized, breaking into multiple formations. They gathered their strength like a hundred streams merging into the sea, unleashing boundless waves of energy.
Boom~!
Gigantic figures, resembling fierce asuras, appeared, towering thousands of meters high. They had six eyes, eight enormous hands on their backs, and were engulfed in a terrifying aura.
These were what cultivators referred to as Dharmakayas!
The Dharmakayas loomed above each formation like towering demons, overlooking the vast land.
Their power had all reached the Great Ascension’s peak!
The twelve Bone Tribe commanders’ eyes gleamed with killing intent, and they shouted in unison, “Kill!”
At the same moment, all formations struck together. The Underworld soldiers and their leaders coordinated, channeling their strength to command the Dharmakayas to attack.
Rumble~!
Dark punches crisscrossed, threatening to shatter stars and suppress heaven and earth, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
And at this moment, Li Wujie smirked coldly, wielding his black saber, preparing to strike.
Swish!
Yin and Yang separated, sun and moon reversed.
A multitude of heavy punches shattered like bubbles, with sword energy spreading like a hurricane, the blade aura unbreakable.
The Dharmakayasc were instantly obliterated like they were struck by lightning, causing the formations to fall into chaos. Many Underworld soldiers, in a state of terror, were ground to dust by this blade aura, and several Unity Stage leaders suffered heavy casualties, wailing echoed throughout the site.
The twelve Bone Tribe commanders were covered in cuts and bruises, coughing up blood as they looked at the middle-aged man holding the sword, their eyes filled with deep fear. They gasped, “This…this is the aura of a Tribulation Stage!”
“Ha ha.”
As Li Wujie lifted his saber again to strike, several devastating auras erupted from the Black Grinding Ridge, a terrifying killing intent gathering, halting his impending strike.
“Huh?”
Li Wujie raised an eyebrow.
Six powerful Bone Tribe entities, surrounded by dark, sinister energy, stood valiantly in mid-air, staring intensely at the sword wielder.
“Are you the God of Killing, Ye Junlin?” Bazha asked, his gaze fierce and cold.
Li Wujie shook his head, “No, I’m his disciple!”
“Disciple?” The six brothers were taken aback. Ye Junlin was so powerful that even his disciple was a Virtual Immortal in the Tribulation Stage?!
Bazha released his Divine Sense and noticed, far behind Li Wujie, a gigantic demonic beast hovering in the clouds, seemingly a mount!
When he tried to probe further with his Divine Sense, he found it blocked by an invisible force.
“Hmph, what arrogance! You’d send your disciple to deal with me? Do I lack face?!” Bazha felt belittled and extremely angry.
“Big Brother, don’t be mad. I bet Ye Junlin is scared, sending his disciple to assess the situation!” Second Brother Baki mocked.
“Exactly!” The other brothers echoed.
Li Wujie chuckled derisively, “You guys aren’t even worth my Master’s effort!”
Swish!
A blade aura, bright as divine retribution, lit up the world.
The six Bone Tribe warriors felt a chilling sensation all over, as if plunging into an abyss.
“Quick, block it!”
Bazha’s scalp tingled, filled with rage and panic. He suddenly raised his hand, slapping out a bone palm, its dark energy shrouding the heavens.
The other five brothers quickly acted as well, all with early Tribulation Stage power, joining forces with their mid-stage leader, unleashing a barrage of killing force.
Boom!!
A fiery light erupted, sweeping forward as the ground was torn asunder by the savage energy flow. Vast mountains were obliterated, like a sandstorm rolling in, extinguishing countless lives.
“Run! Run!” Seeing their army being decimated and on the verge of collapse, the twelve Bone Tribe commanders hurried to flee. However, they hadn’t gotten far before they saw a massive wave of Human Race cultivators charging in, wielding various magical treasures, dazzling lights reflecting off the sky.
“Kill these damn beasts!” The incoming cultivators, noticing the Underworld creatures fleeing in disarray, radiated killing intent, launching their all-out attack.
“Ah…” The remaining troops could only passively defend themselves, but one by one, they were smashed into pulp by the magical treasures thrown by the cultivators.
The twelve Bone Tribe commanders were trapped in an endless onslaught, filled with fear and anger as they realized their previous injuries had left them incapable of putting up an effective fight against these cultivators.
“Die, old man!”
A furious roar.
The Kunshan Sword emitted a yellow light bright as the sun, landing on the head of one Bone Tribe commander, cutting him clean in half.
Ouyang Feng, his hair flying wildly, wielded the Kunshan Sword with the might of a dragon, excitement flickering in his eyes.
The sensation of beating a drowning dog was absolutely satisfying!
After all, he had just cleaved a Great Ascension-level Bone Tribe commander in half!
When would he have such a great opportunity again?!
“No!!” Upon witnessing their comrade’s fall, the eleven remaining Bone Tribe commanders displayed expressions of rage and despair, resembling tigers bullied by dogs after falling on hard times.
They howled to the sky, surging with murderous intent, ready to pounce on Ouyang Feng to tear him apart.
“Don’t rush! One at a time!”
“To die beneath my sword is a privilege for you Underworld creatures!”
Ouyang Feng was in a frenzy, lunging forward, charging and slashing with the Kunshan Sword, causing the Bone Tribe commanders to spit blood, retreating one after another.
After this battle, even after many years, this patriarch of the Banshan Sect would proudly brag to future generations, “Back then, with barely Unity Stage cultivation, I could overpower eleven Great Ascension Bone Tribe commanders. I was invincible!”
On the other side…
In just one encounter, the six Bone Tribe warriors were heavily injured. Bazha, the leader, looked horrified, blood streaming from his mouth, disbelieving as he gazed at the figure wielding the sword.
As a middle-stage Tribulation Stage warrior, alongside five early-stage warriors, he couldn’t even withstand a single strike from his opponent?
Was Ye Junlin’s disciple this strong?!
If it weren’t for the Bone Tribe’s natural defense, one of them might have already fallen!
Li Wujie sneered, “I told you long ago, for scum like you, my Master doesn’t even need to intervene!”
Upon hearing this, the six Bone Tribe warriors felt deeply humiliated.
They had never faced such indignity in the Underworld!
Bazha squinted his eyes, looking towards the huge beast hovering in the clouds, then directed his gaze back at Li Wujie, a fierce light in his eyes as he growled, “Human, you will pay for this!”
With that, he took out a Mysterious Primordial Pill and swallowed it.
In an instant, dark purple beams shot from his eyes, and terrifying sinister energy erupted from his body, oppressive and overwhelming.
His previously cracked bone armor healed instantly, countless runes appearing on its surface, twisting and glowing like tadpoles.
His cultivation surged from mid Tribulation Stage to the peak of Tribulation Stage!
The other five Bone Tribe beings also swallowed Mysterious Primordial Pills.
Boom!
They radiated dazzling dark light, their auras chillingly dominating, with their eyes shooting out dark purple beams that declared their cultivation had surged from early to late Tribulation Stage!
The sinister energy spread like a storm, rippling through the air as six powerful figures opposed the sky, exuding terrifying killing intent!
Bazha reveled in the surging power within him and sneered, “The Mysterious Primordial Pill given by the envoy is truly a fine treasure.”
He then fixed his gaze on Li Wujie and roared, “Human, prepare to die!”
With that, he raised his hand to attack, numerous giant bone spikes intertwining and extending, aiming to pierce Li Wujie in midair.
“Haha, bring it on!” Seeing his opponent’s cultivation far surpassing his own, Li Wujie was not afraid; instead, he was stoked.
With all his might, he slashed out, shattering countless bone spikes.
Swish!
A blurred afterimage zipped past as Li Wujie twisted his wrist, executing a terrifyingly unpredictable sword technique.
“Die for me!” Seeing Li Wujie daring to fight beyond his level, Bazha exploded with rage, waving his hand fiercely. Waves of bone spikes surged forth, shimmering runes dazzling the sky, displaying immense intimidation.
“Big Brother, we’ll help you!” Second Brother Baki rallied all his strength, joining the other brothers to encircle Li Wujie.
Rumble~!
The battle turned intensely fierce.
Li Wujie unleashed his sword technique, blade shadows stacking one upon another, sword energy dominating the sky. Despite being at a disadvantage, he fought multiple opponents courageously!
“It’s impossible! How can Ye Junlin’s disciple be this strong?!” Bazha’s fear grew with each clash, his emotions igniting as he roared, “Bone Tribe Secret Art, Bone Prison Kill!!”
In the next moment…
Li Wujie felt the air around him grow icy, his blood almost freezing. Countless runes inscribed bone spikes shattered the void, forming a square prison that trapped him inside.
“Still not dead?!” Bazha sneered, gripping his right hand tightly.
Buzz buzz buzz! The prison glowed with a blood-red light, runes swirling rapidly. The horrifying pressure multiplied, aiming to crush Li Wujie into blood mist.
“Big Brother is amazing! This move ensures this guy has no chance of survival!” The other five brothers sneered.
“Ugh…” Li Wujie sensed the grave threat, his bones cracking, even the saber in his hand feeling heavy.
But strangely, he didn’t panic; instead, a wild grin spread across his face.
Thud thud thud~!
His heartbeat pounded like a drum, each beat heavy.
Blood boiled within Li Wujie, veins popping, hair thrashing wildly. His eyes quickly turned crimson, his expression twisting into something ferocious as he expelled dark energy that appeared almost tangible.
“So this is the bloodline of madness…”
Li Wujie’s breath became ragged, filled with a killing intent that engulfed his mind. He swung the black saber wildly, and the blade energy expanded like a catastrophic light sphere!
With a thunderous boom,
This bone prison was instantly reduced to ashes!
At this moment, Li Wujie embodied the title of Blade Demon; his aura resembled an awakening ancient demon king, spreading an overwhelming pressure.
His eyes radiated blood-red brilliance.
Heaven and earth dimmed, roiling the winds and clouds!
“What…” The six Bone Tribe warriors turned pale, never having witnessed such a scene.
Who the hell was Ye Junlin? Even such a formidable person would willingly become his disciple?!
