BXBX NOVEL Book 07 Chapter 185: Essence Genesis Breaks Free
With a casual gesture, Essence Genesis crushed a pile of items into powder.
The powder flashed briefly before vanishing in this void. The void contained a mysterious energy that slowly dissipated and annihilated anything in it. This was why the Six Paths Immortal had abandoned the flawed immortal firmament. Only the Six Paths Immortal Firmament and the Sa’s Immortal Firmament could exist stably in the void.
Watching the pile of items turn to dust and vanish completely, Essence Genesis sneered, “Ji Dihong, you expect to trap the Six Paths Immortal with these meager things? How laughable! How utterly laughable!” Essence Genesis’s voice dripped with icy disdain.
In the void, Essence Genesis’s purple eyes seemed to peer through the darkness.
Essence Genesis’s lips twisted in a cold smirk as he focused in a particular direction. “Ji Dihong? Hah! I have escaped now. Huang Heavenly Dynasty, you shall know no peace!”
Just as Essence Genesis was about to return to the Six Paths Immortal Firmament, he suddenly paused, his eyes narrowing with coldness as he glanced in another direction. Then he frowned. “There’s another immortal firmament beyond the Six Paths Immortal Firmament?”
Upon closer observation, Essence Genesis’s eyes narrowed even further. “This immortal firmament is dim with eighteen enormous cracks. It’s far from complete; it should have crumbled. Could it be…the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s Holy Heavens Immortal Firmament from eight hundred thousand years ago? Why is it still intact?”
Essence Genesis’s expression revealed surprise.
“No, it’s been eight hundred thousand years. It should have collapsed long ago. The eighteen massive cracks are extremely lethal. How can it still exist? What lies within?” Essence Genesis’s face turned serious.
Taking a step forward, Essence Genesis’s figure flashed as he headed towards the flawed immortal firmament.
------
The flawed immortal firmament:
The Bone Deity suppressed Houqing, the ten sect masters, and Mao Tianyun with his efforts alone.
Despite the two sides being deadlocked, the Bone Deity handled the situation with ease. However, Ensnaring Performance’s cocky expression and intention to sing triggered a drastic change in the Bone Deity’s emotions.
Ensnaring Performance’s grating voice, akin to a demonic melody, was unforgettable even after just one hearing, able to make people bleed from all their facial orifices. Now, he wanted to sing again, subjecting others to that blood-curdling song?
The dreadful power of the music Dao laws was on full display. Even before the singing started, the haunting, demonic melody already filled the Bone Deity’s mind, agitating it.
Lost in his turbulent emotions and rage, the Bone Deity failed to notice the anomalies around him.
Furthermore, Gu Hai had been extremely cautious, remaining concealed within the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, making no sound or movement.
Seizing the opportunity, Long Shenying swiftly rescued Ensnaring Performance. Just as the Bone Deity’s fury peaked, Gu Hai drew the Life Ender Saber and stabbed the Bone Deity.
Gu Hai did not dare underestimate the Bone Deity, immediately executing the Ninth Cycle. The immense force converged at a single point, piercing through the Bone Deity’s body with a resounding explosion.
The Life Ender Saber seemed resentful, hungering for revenge. It also burst out with a bright light. Although it met with obstruction, it did not matter. With Gu Hai’s full power behind it, it immediately pierced through the Bone Deity’s body.
“What? Who is it?!” The Bone Deity’s expression changed.
“We are Ensnaring Performance’s master. Didn’t you want to kill us along with him?” Gu Hai suddenly said coldly.
Gu Hai’s eyes narrowed as he executed the Ninth Cycle once more without hesitation. The Life Ender Saber cleanly cut the Bone Deity in two. The severed halves went flying in opposite directions.
Caught off-guard by the sudden development, the Bone Deity lost control of the energy in his hands. This allowed Mao Tianyun, Houqing, and the ten sect masters to deal severe damage to the Bone Deity’s palms.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Bone Deity’s two hands exploded from the powerful impact, leaving only the weakly swaying third hand.
“Impossible!” the Bone Deity’s upper body exclaimed in disbelief.
The two halves of Bone Deity’s body flew apart. Houqing, Mao Tianyun, and the ten sect masters stared wide-eyed at the scene.
“Master, Master, you really came!” Ensnaring Performance exclaimed joyfully from Long Shenying’s side.
“Gu Hai?” Houqing’s expression turned cold.
Houqing harbored deep resentment towards Gu Hai. On two occasions, Long Zhanguo had severely beaten him because of Gu Hai. Moreover, he had failed to complete the Six Paths Immortal’s task because of Gu Hai.
After chopping apart the Bone Deity, the Life Ender Saber seemed to draw out a strange energy, causing his body to tremble.
“There’s a treasure in his upper body?” Gu Hai’s eyes widened at the Bone Deity.
“Meow! Be careful! He is going to merge his two halves back!” Mao Tianyun suddenly yelled.
Mao Tianyun waved its paws, and a firestorm instantly shot at the two halves of the Bone Deity. A massive fiery dragon head emerged within the storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The firestorm pummeled the Bone Deity’s two halves, reducing his black robe to ashes and leaving his skeletal form charred. Despite the scorching, the two halves of the body endured the heavy blows and attempted to reconnect.
Mao Tianyun shouted, “Houqing, stop him!”
“Humph!” Houqing snorted coldly but still went forward to help.
Gu Hai declared, “I’ll handle the upper body!”
Gu Hai swiftly swung the Life Ender Saber once more. “Ninth Cycle!”
Saber qi filled the sky and coalesced into a manifested saber that tore space as it swung down.
Although the skeletal body lacked arms, it was still at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. The Ninth Cycle could contend with an ordinary consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, but this was no ordinary opponent.
The Bone Deity let out a fierce roar.
A river of bones immediately gushed out of the Bone Deity’s mouth, rushing at Gu Hai.
The Ninth Cycle met the river of bones head-on.
Boom!
The two forces clashed, neither yielding to the other.
“Senior, we’ll help you!” the ten sect masters shouted.
Boom!
The ten sect masters launched a joint attack on the bone river.
However, the bone river was too powerful. Even after the ten sect masters drove the power of faith, they could barely hold on.
The Ninth Cycle could not do any damage, either.
“Hah! You are all insufficient! When I recover, none of you will survive!” the Bone Deity laughed maniacally amid the river of bones.
“Divinity Destroying Light!” Gu Hai’s heavenly eye suddenly emerged on his forehead.
Boom!
Evading the bone river, the Divinity Destroying Light struck the Bone Deity’s neck.
Boom!
A large portion of the colossal spinal column shattered.
“What?” the Bone Deity exclaimed in alarm.
Gu Hai felt even more astonished. The Divinity Destroying Light failed to sever his spine?
On the other side, Mao Tianyun and Houqing battled the lower half of the Bone Deity. Despite being cut in half, he remained fierce. However, Mao Tianyun and Houqing were no pushovers. Gradually, they suppressed his legs and slowly crushed them to powder.
“Divinity Destroying Light!” Gu Hai’s heavenly eye fired another beam of Divinity Destroying Light.
Whoosh! The Bone Deity tilted his torso, swiftly dodging the attack.
“Humph! What good is your Divinity Destroying Light if it can’t hit me?” the Bone Deity sneered.
“Go Dao laws!” Gu Hai moved his right hand.
Buzz!
A mysterious ritual array enveloped the Bone Deity.
“Divinity Destroying Light!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gu Hai fired another two beams of Divinity Destroying Light.
The Bone Deity dodged again, but his position was entirely under Gu Hai’s control within the Go Dao ritual array.
“No! No!” the Bone Deity exclaimed in despair.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded as the vertebrae shattered. However, a mysterious energy emerged from the skull, inexplicably repairing the damage to the neck.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gu Hai fired another three beams of Divinity Destroying Light.
Boom!
Finally, the burden became too much for the skeleton’s neck, which broke into two.
“No!” the Bone Deity screamed in desperation.
The Ninth Cycle finally struck the skull’s weak spot.
Boom!
The severed skull went flying.
“You all work on destroying the Bone Deity’s two halves. I’ll handle his head!” Gu Hai shouted.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai immediately gave pursuit.
“Houqing, you deal with the upper body. We are almost done with the lower body. Send over five sect masters to help me destroy the Bone Deity’s lower body!” Mao Tianyun shouted.
“Very well!” Houqing soared into the sky.
The five sect masters swiftly gathered beside Mao Tianyun.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another intense battle commenced.
Mao Tianyun’s face revealed a ferocious expression. “Screw you! Even if this divine envoy cannot defeat the complete you, do you think I can’t handle your lower half? Meow!”
A raging inferno engulfed Mao Tianyun as it entered a devastatingly destructive mode.
Houqing alone was enough to deal with the upper body. He inflicted destructive blows on his target, venting all his previous frustrations. Now, the Bone Deity’s two halves suffered powerful attacks.
Gu Hai chased after the Bone Deity’s head. The Life Ender Saber sensed something it desired within the skull, perhaps something that had belonged to the saber in the first place.
“Where are all of you?!” the Bone Deity’s head roared.
“Bone Deity, we are here!” Many skeleton experts flew over.
“Block them!” Gu Hai shouted.
“Yes!” the Mosquito Daoist and Long Shenying immediately responded.
Even if the Mosquito Daoist and Long Shenying could not deal with the Bone Deity, the other skeleton experts were a piece of cake.
However, the Unborn Man and Ensnaring Performance hid in the distance.
Buzz!
The Mosquito Daoist brought out the darkness domain, and ten thousand Mosquito Daoists intercepted the approaching skeletons. On the other hand, Long Shenying confronted the strongest among the skeletons.
Boom! The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Gu Hai gripped the Life Ender Saber tightly while pursuing the Bone Deity’s head. With a cold smirk, he taunted, “Now, it’s just us and your severed head, Bone Deity!”
The Bone Deity’s head revealed a hint of panic and pleaded, “Bone Ancestor? Don’t blame me. You valued me in the past, and I’m grateful to you for that. However, I had no choice but to rebel, truly no choice!”
Gu Hai chuckled mockingly and said, “Bone Deity, can you show a little integrity? No choice?”
“It was the Six Paths Immortal. He made me betray you. If I didn’t comply, he would have destroyed me. It’s not my fault!” the Bone Deity said fearfully.
“The Six Paths Immortal?” Gu Hai’s face darkened.
“Yes, you are a rib of Immortal Cang. While in the void, you acquired some Void Energy and changed. However, you are ultimately a rib of Immortal Cang. The Six Paths Immortal feared you might be Immortal Cang’s backup plan, so he ordered me to destroy you and granted me the power to do so. It’s not my fault!” the Bone Deity’s head pleaded anxiously.
“Humph! Not your fault? Then tell it to the Life Ender Saber!” Gu Hai instantly closed in.
The head of Bone Deity revealed a hint of terror and again unleashed a beam of blue light from its mouth.
“Divinity Destroying Light!” Gu Hai shouted.
Boom!
The two beams collided, but the Divinity Destroying Light displayed greater might. Then, the attack shattered the Bone Deity’s lower jaw.
Phish!
The Life Ender Saber plunged into the Bone Deity’s head.
“No!” The Bone Deity let out a despairing roar.
Boom!
Countless bone spikes erupted from the head of the Bone Deity, instantly impaling Gu Hai.
“Argh!” Gu Hai’s face contorted.
Those bone spikes penetrated Gu Hai’s chest from the front and emerged from his back.
Nevertheless, Gu Hai could reshape the bones in his body. He gently brushed aside the bone spikes, avoiding his vital areas.
Even so, Gu Hai’s current condition was horrifying. Ten bone spikes seemed to have pierced straight through his body.
“Your Reverence!” the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed from a distance.
“Master!” Ensnaring Performance cried out as well.
“We’re fine! Stop them! Don’t let them come any closer!” Gu Hai shouted.
Despite his body’s impalement and heavy injuries, the energy the Life Ender Saber extracted from the Bone Deity’s head swiftly compensated for Gu Hai’s injuries, giving him an overwhelming sense of relief.
