Chapter 437: Chapter 436: White Bone Relic

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These bone spikes were incredibly sharp and keen, comparable to flying swords, clearly the killing move of this Bone Demon!

Gu Yuan didn’t pursue relentlessly after gaining an advantage. He swung the Black Dragon Halberd like the wind, intercepting those bone spikes one by one.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With each resonant and clear sound, the Black Dragon Halberd shattered the sharp bone spikes into powder, leaving no stone unturned.

It was all thanks to Gu Yuan’s formidable physique; otherwise, even other Golden Core Great Cultivators here would have suffered a great loss under the repeated barrage of these bone spikes.

Being shot full of holes and meeting one’s end wouldn’t be surprising.

Suddenly, that Bone Demon opened its mouth, and a jade-white pill flew out, enveloped in a swath of black and gray demonic qi, shooting towards Gu Yuan like a meteor.

This strike was different from those bone spikes, evidently far more terrifying.

The surrounding yin qi, demonic qi, evil qi, and corpse qi were all swept up and converged onto it, transforming into a black-red, meteor-like object, smashing over.

Not only was its momentum grand, but an intent locked firmly onto Gu Yuan.

Even if Gu Yuan wanted to dodge, this “meteor” would follow closely behind, in relentless pursuit.

Gu Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, raising the Black Dragon Halberd and chopping down vertically again.

The Black Dragon Halberd transformed into a black shadow, smashing into the meteor.

Clang!!!

The Black Dragon Halberd collided with the “meteor,” erupting in a cataclysmic, earth-shattering sound!

Even Old Hu and the others, located some distance away, heard the commotion, their faces changing color as they looked towards Gu Yuan, shocked at what had transpired.

Although they didn’t know exactly what happened, they could be sure that such a commotion was definitely caused by Gu Yuan.

Waves of shockwaves spread from the collision point of the Black Dragon Halberd and the “meteor,” rippling outward in circles.

Wherever they passed, the mists disbanded and dispersed.

Even the solid ground was lifted into a thick layer.

Gu Yuan bore the brunt of the shockwaves, but when they hit him, they didn’t even stir a single strand of his hair.

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s entire body emitted a scarlet and scorching light, appearing like an Eternal Divine Furnace, radiating intense heat.

The awe-inspiring power of qi and blood invaded all directions, even dispersing all the yin, ghostly, demonic, corpse qi, and other sinister energies.

And as for that “meteor,” struck by Gu Yuan’s dominant blow, it rapidly shattered inch by inch, revealing a jade-white pill inside.

About the size of a ping-pong ball, as white as jade, crystal clear, but occasionally emitting strands of black, gray, and gray-white mist.

Gu Yuan knew what it was.

This was the White Bone Relic, the inner core of evil beings like the Bone Demon and Bone Monsters, equivalent to the Golden Core formed by Golden Core Great Cultivators, containing the life’s essence cultivated by the Bone Demon!

However, compared to a Golden Core Great Cultivator’s Golden Core, this White Bone Relic was noticeably much harder and was often used as a Magical Artifact with tremendous power.

But now that it was seen by Gu Yuan, there was no chance of letting the opponent reclaim it.

Buzz buzz buzz—!!!

Just as the White Bone Relic buzzed and trembled, about to be recalled by the Bone Demon, Gu Yuan restrained his qi and blood, reaching out to grab the White Bone Relic firmly in his hand.

No matter how much the White Bone Relic kept bouncing, it couldn’t escape at all.

Then Gu Yuan flipped his palm, and the White Bone Relic directly vanished, stored away by him.

Roar—!!!

Sensing the severed connection with its White Bone Relic, the Bone Demon roared in shock and fury, charging forward aggressively.

This White Bone Relic was its life essence, painstakingly cultivated for over three thousand years; it was its foundation of cultivation, vital for its future progress.

If it were truly lost, its cultivation could be crippled by more than half.

When it charged close to Gu Yuan, the Bone Demon opened its large mouth, a sticky gray-white Demon Flame surged out, rushing towards Gu Yuan.

However, Gu Yuan merely waved the Black Dragon Halberd casually, dispersing the Demon Flame.

As for the charging Bone Demon, it was directly struck by Gu Yuan’s halberd.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The Bone Demon’s head was smashed to pieces by the Black Dragon Halberd, breaking open with flying bone fragments, and even its headless body fell to the ground.

Yet, even so, the Bone Demon wasn’t dead, the scattered bone fragments began gathering together, attempting to reform its original shape.

Indeed, beings like the Bone Demon possessed this kind of “undying body.”

Even if its body were shattered, as long as its soul and inner core were unharmed, it could quickly recover to its former state.

However, the problem was that the Bone Demon’s White Bone Relic had already been taken by Gu Yuan; without it, relying solely on its soul, it couldn’t possibly heal in the short term.

Gu Yuan wasted no time, swinging the Black Dragon Halberd, which contained an imposing killing intent, directly shattering the Bone Demon’s Divine Soul.

With the dispersal of its Divine Soul, the Bone Demon’s huge body collapsed, falling apart, turning into a pile of white bones.

Gu Yuan then took out the White Bone Relic, playing with it.

After the Bone Demon’s death, the White Bone Relic seemed to lose its spirit, no longer trembling.

As Gu Yuan played with it, all the demonic qi, corpse qi, death qi, evil qi, and yin qi inside slowly dissipated.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, only a pigeon-egg-sized pill remained in Gu Yuan’s palm, as white as jade, crystal clear, pleasing to the eye, like a top-grade white jade carved with utmost delicacy, utterly flawless.

Gu Yuan put it away.

This object contained a lot of white bone essence, and even for him, it was a valuable item, capable of nourishing his physique, akin to an alternative Spirit Pill.

Then, Gu Yuan looked at the tomb not far behind him.

Unlike before, the tomb had silently opened a large hole.

The entrance was pitch-black, emitting wisps of gray-black yin aura.

A silhouette stood at the entrance, motionless, faintly discernible in the yin aura.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, somewhat grave.

Although the silhouette was motionless, not revealing any signs of attack, it just stared silently at him.

Even its face was indistinct, yet Gu Yuan dared not underestimate the figure.

Even that Demon Tiger had transformed into a troublesome Bone Demon; the Tiger’s master, this unknown cultivator who’d been transforming within the tomb for so long, must be terrifying!

No one knew what identity this person had in life that made the Fiendbone Old Demon bury them here.

The silhouette up ahead was probably not the Fiendbone Old Demon, Gu Yuan could be fairly certain of that.

Because according to the treasure map, the deepest part of this underground chamber was where the Fiendbone Old Demon resided.
