Chen Luoyang’s clone, Daoist Banhai, didn’t get close, but when he looked from afar, he gradually experienced the might of the ” white bones ” that Xu Peng had given birth to.
First of all, the ghastly white bones themselves had extremely strong defensive power. It was not a problem for them to take on the frontal attack of the Eastern Zhou Empress for Xu Peng.
Although the bone dragon was trembling and cracking, the queen was not able to destroy it in a short period of time.
Even if the Empress could erase it, it would probably take a long time to do so.
On the other hand, if a living creature came into contact with the white bones, their vitality would be instantly sucked away. They would soon be assimilated by the white bones and end up as skeletons.
It was just that the Empress ‘cultivation was extremely high, and she had the mysteries of time and space. She was unpredictable, so Xu Peng’s ” white bones ” could not do anything to her. Instead, she was at a disadvantage.
Chen Luoyang couldn’t judge if the person who had been eroded and assimilated by Xu Peng’s ” white bones ” would be able to recover if they turned into white skeletons.
Or perhaps, the new white bones would become a part of the Netherworld God’s power and be controlled by him instead?
If not for the fact that the Empress of Dongzhou was too powerful, she might not have been able to force out Xu Peng’s secret.
And this Netherworld God had just appeared, and he had encountered such a powerful enemy like the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was really unlucky and could not use his full power.
However, it was just a brief glimpse, but it was already enough to make the audience feel shocked.
Chen Luoyang wasn’t surprised.
Compared to Han Mei’s ” disaster, ” Xu Peng’s performance was not surprising.
After all, when Han Mei was at the 15th realm, she had made things difficult for Wei Chaoran, who was at the 18th realm. She had turned Wei Chaoran’s misfortune into her own luck and used Xu Peng’s hands to turn danger into safety.
In comparison, Han Mei’s ” bad luck ” was more mysterious. Sometimes, it was even more heaven-defying and shocking.
As for Xu Peng’s White Bones, it was more stable, and the manifestation of his strength was more intuitive. He could control his body more freely and accurately.
However, what Chen Luoyang cared about the most was the ‘ancient corpse’ in the Connate Tomb.
Emperor Xi of the Upper Ancient Era had only sealed it, but he had not been able to completely destroy it.
The power that erupted from the entire reverse collapse of the Connate Tomb could only destroy Goumang’s remains, which were transformed from the ancient corpse. It was equivalent to shattering the outer shell of the corpse after it died.
The sturdiness of this “ancient corpse” was truly shocking.
An undying body.
Chen Luoyang believed that this was the manifestation of the power of the ancient corpse.
Relying on Goumang’s remains, or rather, the ancient god Goumang, it could be said to be immortal and indestructible.
In that case, if Calamity, White Bones, and Plague, who were also Nether Gods, were given enough time to grow, would they also reach the terrifying state of the Ancient Corpse?
Or even stronger?
Was this the reason why Ming Zun, Demon Venerable, and the other existences feared the Netherworld God?
The potential was far-reaching, and at the same time, it was possible…lt grew extremely fast and could turn its potential into strength in a very short period of time.
At the same time, it seemed that it could not be completely destroyed.
Even if it was destroyed for a moment, it would be reborn and use a new body to descend into the world.
It was probably because of this reason that Emperor Xi of the Upper Ancient Era only suppressed and sealed the Ancient Corpse, as if he was imprisoning it and could not reincarnate.
The Demon Lord, Dao Lord, and the others were fine, but Ming Zun, the
Netherworld Realm, and the Netherworld God were not on the same side. Instead, they were like mortal enemies. What was the relationship between the two?
Would the growth of these Netherworld Gods be accompanied by the extinction of all living beings, which would mean a massacre more brutal than that of the Blood River and the other Devil Dao?
Chen Luoyang instantly thought of many things.
In the end, it came down to what Ming Zun had said in the past.
There are as many as four Netherworld Gods active in your mortal world.
At that time, it was said to be “in the mortal world” and “activity”, which should not include the sealed “ancient corpse” in the Connate Tomb.
If the Great Plague was still around and not just a single eye was left behind, then there were three of them, the Great Plague, Calamity, and White Bones.
Where is the other one?
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang’s mind as he looked into the distance at the battlefield and pondered silently.
What should he think of Xu Peng, the Bone Dragon King?
The battle in the distance had gradually reached its climax.
Blue Dragon Island Master and Xu Peng were suppressed by the Empress, and they gradually lost the ability to take care of Han Zheng and the other Blue Dragon Island disciples.
Although the Empress did not specifically target them, she did not care about avoiding them either.
As a result, Han Zheng and the others couldn’t bear the aftermath of the battle.
Chen Luoyang was in deep thought when his heart suddenly stirred. He turned his gaze to the other side.
Queen and the others did not neglect their surroundings during the battle and immediately noticed it.
An ethereal and sharp white gas suddenly appeared.
When Chen Luoyang saw this, he couldn’t help but be stunned once again.
Just like how Xu Peng’s appearance was unexpected, this time, it was another unexpected acquaintance.
That white mist was clearly Darknorth sword qi.
The River of Blood had fallen, and the River of Heaven had been heavily injured. The Darknorth swordmaster, Bamboo, was the number one swordsman of the mortal world.
But what was he doing here?
Chen Luoyang was astonished.
During the last battle between the Sky River and Blood River, he had used the opportunity when Zhu Ran returned the Life Heavenly Book to ask Zhu Ran to intercept Blood River Patriarch.
In the end, both Blood River Ancestor and Zhu Jian suffered heavy losses. They were then besieged by the Eastern Zhou Empress, Green Bull Monastery Master, and Jiang Yi of the Ancient Gods Clan.
Because of the Life Word Heavenly Book, although Zhu Ran was also injured, it wasn’t a big deal. After returning Chen Luoyang’s Heavenly Book, he left.
After that, according to what Chen Luoyang knew, Zhu Ran continued to live in seclusion.
The storm in the mortal world was raging, but the other party completely ignored it.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear here today?
This time, it wasn’t arranged by him.
Chen Luoyang’s Daoist Banhai’s clone remained expressionless as he observed the situation.
In the end, the white Darknorth sword Qi slashed at the purple clouds surrounding the Empress of Dongzhou.
Was Zhu Ran helping the Blue Dragon Island?
Chen Luoyang frowned and felt extremely puzzled.
I’ve never heard of any relationship between Zhu Ran and the Blue Dragon Island.
Back when Zhu Ran had just risen to power, he had even fought against Azure Dragon Island Master.
From a certain perspective, the Azure Dragon Island Lord was a part of Swordmaster Darknorth’s past achievements.
The relationship between the two parties was not harmonious.
In terms of friendship, it was probably only when Chen Luoyang came to the
Mortal Dust World from the Divine Lands. The Darknorth Swordmaster and the Azure Dragon Island Lord had fought side by side for him and fought against the abbot of the western paradise, the Chu Emperor, and the Fusang Island Lord.
Both parties had different motives. The Azure Dragon Island Master wanted to claim credit from the Supremacy, while the Darknorth Swordmaster, Zhu Ran, only wanted to borrow the Life Word Heavenly Book from Chen Luoyang.
After the battle, both sides went their separate ways and no longer interacted.
Not only was Chen Luoyang surprised that Zhu Ran had suddenly lent a helping hand today, but even Azure Dragon Island Master himself was also surprised.
The Eastern Zhou side was even more confused.
It was expected that Dragon King Xu Peng would be involved with Azure Dragon Island Master.
Even when Xu Peng’s relationship with the Netherworld God was exposed, the Azure Dragon Island Master was a little hesitant.
But why was Swordmaster Darknorth interfering now?
Strictly speaking, Swordmaster Darknorth was more of a threat than Azure Dragon Island Lord.
It wasn’t just because Swordmaster Darknorth was stronger than him in terms of individual strength, but also because he had no ties to his family and was all alone.
It was fortunate that he was not bloodthirsty. Otherwise, if such a powerful figure were to start a massacre, the consequences would be devastating for the powerful Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
“Greetings, Swordmaster Darknorth. I hope that you will be able to see this clearly. Xu Peng of the Azure Dragon Island isn’t a descendant of the Netherworld Realm. He is the legendary Netherworld God.” Uncle Cheng said loudly.
Everyone saw the strange phenomenon of the bone dragon flying into the sky and Xu Peng’s attack.
Zhu Yan was no exception.
However, he didn’t seem to care at all. His attack was even more determined than the Azure Dragon Island Master’s, as if he wasn’t affected at all.
Uncle Cheng was more willing to believe that the Darknorth Swordmaster, Zhu Neng, was young and reclusive, cultivating alone. As a result, although he was a powerful figure, he didn’t know much about the Netherworld God.
In reality, even he had only heard about it from the Zhou Emperor by chance, and his understanding was limited.
It was not surprising that the lone wolf, Zhu Yan, did not know.
Thus, Uncle Cheng reminded him, ” The Supreme One has ordered that anyone who discovers a God of the Underworld is to be arrested immediately. If they resist, they can be killed on the spot. Please think twice. ‘
Chen Luoyang shook his head in his heart.
It was possible that Zhu Ran really didn’t know about the Netherworld God’s situation and the Demon Lord’s order.
However, since he had made a move today, even if he understood the situation now, he would probably not change his decision.
In the past, he had dared to risk the anger of the Demon Lord to plead for mercy for the sake of his friendship with Ying Qingqing. Now, he would most likely not change his mind because of a single order from the Demon Lord.
He was like this. Compared to life and death, he valued his persistence more.
What Chen Luoyang was interested in was, what was he going to insist on today?
As expected, Zhu Ran turned a deaf ear to Uncle Cheng’s words.
Although the Empress of Dong Zhou was surprised to see Zhu Ran suddenly intervene, she did not stop attacking.
She did not take Uncle Cheng’s words to heart.
She wanted to take down Xu Peng today, but it had nothing to do with whether the other party was the Netherworld God or not.
However, with Swordmaster Darknorth’s help, Xu Peng and Azure Dragon Island Lord were able to avoid danger.
Zhu Ran was alone with a sword, but his strength was not weaker than the Empress of Dongzhou.
Although the Empress had all kinds of treasures with her, it was still difficult for her to deal with these three opponents.
She was still able to advance and retreat freely, but she could no longer keep Xu Peng and Azure Dragon Island Master here. As a result, the other party regained the opportunity to escape.
Xu Peng was willing to pay the price of being injured to seize the opportunity to escape.
It seemed that he had abandoned Zhu Jian and the Island Master, but in fact, he believed that this was the source of the conflict. Without him, it would not be difficult for the Island Master and Zhu Jian to escape.
Xu Peng fled. The Island Master of the Azure Dragon Island had a complicated expression.
She knew that the other party was not escaping back to the Blue Dragon Island.
Even if Xu Peng didn’t die under the Empress’s palm today, her Blue Dragon Island would lose this successor forever.
Xu Peng didn’t return to the island because he wanted the best for his sect.
And she couldn’t look for this disciple.
It would be fine if they didn’t meet, but if they met in public, they would probably have to fight each other. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to the Supreme Martial Artist.
Blue Dragon Island Master was frustrated, but he could only restrain himself.
He also retreated while fighting. Under the cover of Zhu Meng, he led the other Blue Dragon Island disciples to escape from the Eastern Zhou Empress first.
In the distance, Chen Luoyang’s clone, Daoist Banhai, had already left.
He rushed in the direction where Xu Peng disappeared..
