Chapter 937 Schemes and Planning, A Game Within a Game
"The True Instructions of the Heavenly Net?"
The White Bone Cultivator's gaze sharpened, confirming his suspicions.
He had already discerned the presence of the Tianluo Sect from the methods used by the other party when he made his move.
Now that the other party has admitted it personally, I have no more doubts.
"Indeed so."
Rumor has it that the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord had a close relationship with the Tianluo Sect before his death, especially with that person in the Tianluo Sect, with whom he had an inextricable and passionate affair. In the past, when the Demon Lord was alive, there were many ambiguous rumors about him.
The one from the Tianluo Sect was already a top-tier Celestial Realm cultivator even before the Demon Lord rose to power. During the ensuing entanglement, he took another step forward, touching the threshold of the Fourth Realm Great Celestial Realm.
When these rumors first circulated, countless celestial beings were filled with envy for the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord, wishing they could take his place.
Afterwards, rumors circulated frequently. It was initially thought that he was a male concubine or servant, but unexpectedly, he was able to grant any request, which was completely unexpected.
When such news spread, countless people were heartbroken and filled with regret.
I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try, why is that person like that?
Then that person went even further, becoming a Great Celestial Being of the Fourth Realm, and such commotion could not be stopped even after repeated attempts.
but.
Only when the Demon Lord ascended to the top, became famous throughout the world, and became a giant in the demonic path, did he realize the unique insight of that person from back then.
During his heyday, even the top elders of the royal family had to show him considerable respect. The six sects of the demonic path had countless powerful figures, but in the era of the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord, who dared to disobey him?
When the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord was alive, no one dared to call themselves the Demon Lord. But after his death, everyone dared to use the title. Powerful figures from various sects even boasted that they could once rival the Purple-Eyed Demon Lord without being at a disadvantage.
All the praise was that he possessed the bearing of a demon lord at that time.
Can.
Is that really true?
The White Bone Grandmaster's escape was swift as lightning, his thoughts as fast as lightning, and all his ideas were contained in a single instant.
He paid little attention to the younger generation, spending more of his energy and time examining ancient books and searching for hidden ruins.
But now that the other party has confirmed his identity as a true disciple of the Tianluo Sect, he has a clear guess about the other party's identity.
"They're quite clever, knowing that revealing their identity is useless in the face of such a tempting opportunity."
The Purple-Eyed Demon Lord has a close relationship with the Tianluo Sect. Now that a junior member of the Tianluo Sect has obtained it, the possibility of a clear opportunity has undoubtedly reached its highest level.
With the opportunity before him, he did not relax in the slightest, even at the very last step. His cold, dark blue spiritual power remained firmly locked onto the woman who was falling in front of him.
As for the celestial being who just happened to be passing by?
The Great Cultivator of White Bones spared a sliver of his energy to ascertain the other party's movements, and sneered.
The martial arts master who passed by was a second-realm master dressed in a black robe, exuding a cold and profound aura.
His cultivation foundation should have progressed considerably within the second realm. However, there is still some distance to go before he reaches the pinnacle of the second realm.
Upon first hearing the other party's plea for help, he showed interest, but then he sensed the overwhelming aura in mid-air, with howling winds that stained the sky.
"A Grand Cultivation of Celestial Beings?"
His expression changed, and he looked wary, as if he wanted to leave immediately.
In this scene, the woman who was falling from mid-air, facing the entanglement of the White Bone Grandmaster's secret techniques and fierce attacks, and about to fall off the mountain, obviously noticed it immediately.
Without hesitation, she raised the price and offered a hefty profit.
"If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to lend a hand and thus escape this calamity today, I am willing to repay you with my own body, and you will share in all the opportunities that await you."
The ethereal voice echoed through the heavens, causing the black-robed celestial being to show a conflicted expression and a look of hesitation.
"idiot!"
The White Bone Cultivator sneered, and with a howling wind and an explosion of his essence blood, his escape speed was astonishing.
Faced with his overwhelming power, how dare a mere second-level Celestial Being intervene?
Even the best chips are useless if you're alive to receive them and spend them!
How dare you linger over matters of life and death?
The Great Cultivator Bai Gu's mind raced like lightning, focusing only on a sliver of his attention. His goal was clear: regardless of whether the other party made a move or not, he wanted to capture this Heavenly Demoness as quickly as possible.
As long as the opportunity arises, any risk is acceptable.
Furthermore...
However, he is only a second-realm Celestial Being, not even a half-step Great Cultivator.
With such cultivation, even if they were to take action, they could only cause a little trouble at most, not even be considered a risk.
The powerful cultivator with the white bones exuded a chilling aura. His bone wings flapped repeatedly as his gaze locked onto the woman before him, her deep-set eyes gleaming with an eerie light.
This enchantress is cunning and unpredictable; she offers great benefits in order to divert trouble elsewhere.
The method is good, but unfortunately...
The people who came were a bit lacking in strength.
"Offer yourself in return?"
Chen Ping'an's eyelids twitched, and he remained silent beneath his black robe.
That line wasn't in the script!
What's going on? This is supposed to be allowed to be improvised?
His mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged, and he reacted appropriately to the role he was playing.
A dark blue wave emanated from it, like the shimmering light of dark jade, rippling and undulating. The next moment, the Heavenly Luo Saintess's figure became unstable, and like a kite with a broken string, she fell into the mountainside.
Whoosh!
A chilling wind howled, bone wings trembled, and a dark blue light flashed as it fell like a beam of light.
He looked conflicted, intending to leave, but with an opportunity before him, he was also somewhat unwilling. After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and made a firm decision to follow.
"idiot!"
Although success was imminent and everything seemed to be going smoothly, with victory just around the corner, the White Bone Cultivator did not relax his mind in the slightest. Part of his attention was still focused on the black-robed celestial being.
They actually caught up?
Sensing the scene behind him, he sneered, but his vigilance was at its highest.
While such a scenario was reasonable, it went too smoothly, leaving him with lingering doubts.
He lost contact with the Heavenly Demoness and lost several days. Although everything pointed to something obvious, his years of experience still made him keep a backup plan.
Having lived for a thousand years, he has witnessed too many ups and downs, life and death, and his experiences have made him always be extremely wary of the outside world.
Whether it's adventure, exploration, treasure hunting, or today...
This is all the case.
A dark blue light flowed, and he sensed his surroundings with his divine sense, intently watching the scene around him.
Even after success, anything can happen.
Only opportunities that are truly obtained are true opportunities!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the sounds of secret techniques and battles, the Heavenly Net Saintess's figure landed within the mountain's terrain.
This is a valley with sheer cliffs and a perilous terrain. There are jagged rocks and scattered stones, and thick black fog, like ink-black mist, churns and surges endlessly as it is attacked.
The black fog here is much denser than the surrounding terrain.
The Great Skull cultivator looked wary, his divine soul radiating in all directions. With each flash of light, he sensed the surrounding terrain, searching for any possible ambush.
But at that very moment, the Heavenly Demoness below suddenly brightened her eyes, which shone with purple light, and she summoned a precious treasure, like a jade ring, which she sent toward him with a clear cry.
At the same time, a delicate, clear voice rang out.
"What are you waiting for?!"
boom!
His soul was stirred, and a terrifying wave emanated from behind him.
"really!"
The Great Cultivator of White Bones sneered, understanding the situation perfectly.
Faced with the sudden attack, he showed no panic, but rather a calm as if the dust had settled.
Slurp~
A magical pearl of yin wind appeared out of thin air.
In an instant, the yin wind surged, bone fire sprang up out of thin air, and the mist eroded, transforming into the ten directions of yin realm.
With a flap of his bony wings, a howling, eerie wind swept through the area with incredible speed, accompanied by withered bone spikes and a deathly pale hue.
"Little brat, you're still too green to try and outsmart me!"
His expression was resolute, sinister, and cold.
But the next moment, his expression changed drastically, filled with shock and horror.
"How is this possible!" Above the mountains, the sky and earth changed color, and a dazzling spiritual light rippled from the void. The fragmented spiritual light converged, like a giant rotating peak. The spiritual light mingled and crashed down.
Its overwhelming power seemed to suppress heaven and earth; his Bone Fire Yin Domain was diluted in an instant, turning into a white streak.
Such offensive power is beyond what a second-realm Celestial Being could unleash; the power of this strike even surpasses that of an ordinary Celestial Being cultivator.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A violent explosion shattered the dust in the void, followed by a deafening roar, howling winds, and flying sparks of bone.
Some mountain peaks and boulders vanished into nothingness in silence, while green peaks and trees turned to ashes in an instant after being touched by the bone fire.
Pong!
Amidst the deafening roar, the figure of the White Bone Cultivator was instantly blasted into the valley, emitting a terrifying tremor.
The mountain rocks collapsed, rubble rolled, and dust swirled.
Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an, his black robes fluttering and swirling, fell from the sky.
"It's blocked?"
His eyes shone with a calm light, revealing a touch of the divine.
Although his attack was hasty, he did not hold back at all. Taking advantage of the opponent's confusion, he directly activated the Three-Part Returning Origin True Scroll and unleashed the Returning Origin Strike.
The power of the Weapon Fruit was terrifying in this attack.
Unfortunately, the result Chen Ping'an wanted did not materialize.
The first use of the Precious Scroll True Skill, the Returning Origin Strike, was less effective than expected. Although it repelled and knocked down the opponent, the opponent's bone wings ultimately blocked the attack.
Judging from the looks of it, he wasn't seriously injured.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. The Three-Part Return to Origin True Scroll, after his refinement, has become a true skill scroll, but it is still only at the minor completion level. No matter how powerful it is, it still has its limits.
This time, the opponent is no ordinary person, but a fully recovered and truly at his peak Celestial Realm cultivator.
Even those at the Second Realm of Celestial Beings have cultivated True Skill Scrolls to a minor level, let alone those at the Major Realm.
His cultivation level has not yet reached the third realm, so for him to unleash such an attack under these circumstances is already quite impressive.
"The power of a great repair!"
The Heavenly Maiden's image was like a reflection of the Milky Way, and ripples appeared in her ethereal purple eyes, her surprise evident in her expression.
The power of this attack was terrifying. It was launched suddenly, and even the White Bone Grandmaster was knocked down into the valley. The gains far exceeded expectations.
hum~
A dreamlike aura rippled outwards, shrouded in a purple glow, like a light veil of clouds, drifting away in a hazy mist.
At the same time, several objects appeared behind the Heavenly Luo Saintess: a green jade pearl, a purple jade rope chain, and a small gold and jade sword. Various colors of spiritual light flowed around them, and in an instant, they were all activated.
Pong!
Where the ashes and dust were, there was a deafening explosion, an endless circular aura, and the scattered rocks and dust were swept away.
At the center of the chilling wind, a cold and fierce figure folded its wings to protect itself. On those pale, jade-like wings, there was a faint phosphorescence, with a weak glow.
"What a clever scheme!"
His face was grim, and through his spiritual perception, he could tell that the black-robed celestial being was clearly a celestial being at the peak of the second realm.
"What an amazing concealment technique!"
The Great White Bone cultivator spread his wings, his bone fire blazing, and the Mountain-Suppressing Seal suddenly swelled and surged away.
Amidst the howling wind, several enormous skeletons, their white bones stark against the sky, appeared out of nowhere.
Within the deep-seated bone socket, a ghostly green flame flickered.
"A skeleton puppet!"
Chen Ping'an remained calm, his body surrounded by swirling spiritual light.
He had already learned about the opponent's methods from the Heavenly Luo Saintess beforehand, so he was not surprised at all when he saw the huge skeleton that was more than ten feet tall.
His gaze was calm, then shone with a mesmerizing light. At the same time, a deep, abyss-like, sinister vertical pupil appeared above his head.
hum~
A ghostly light gathered, brewed, and rippled, gradually dissipating into a terrifying aura.
Swish!
Driven by Chen Ping'an's strong foundation, the Evil Eye rapidly generated a beam of light, which crashed down.
On the other side, the Heavenly Maiden's methods were already entangled with the opponent's, and each collision was a wave powerful enough to shake the mountain.
Despite being attacked from both sides, the White Bone Cultivator's expression remained unchanged. He flapped his bone wings, refusing to evade and instead charging towards the Heavenly Net Saintess. He planned to use his speed advantage to seize the opportunity before the enemy could close in and launch a powerful suppression.
A cold wind howled, and the bone fire blazed brightly.
The helper that this junior from Tianluo found was beyond his expectations, but upon closer inspection, he clearly sensed that the other party's cultivation level had not yet reached the third realm.
Although it is unknown what methods the opponent used to unleash that ultimate attack.
But for him, such a situation was far from the limit.
Even if they possess great repair capabilities, so what!?
What he feared most was not fighting him, but that Luo the junior would deliberately flee, which would put him at a disadvantage.
However, since his opponent accepted the challenge, he fell into his rhythm.
He used the Yin Wind Pearl to form the Ten Directions Yin Domain, entangled the opponent, and was afraid that the opponent would escape.
Now, the battle has begun in an instant, and the Yin Domain has been formed. It won't be so easy for the opponent to escape.
This young Tianluo has troublesome helpers, but his bone puppets are no pushovers either.
As long as he can keep the opponent occupied, with his abilities, it's only a matter of time before he can defeat the junior from Tianluo in a direct confrontation.
With a clear strategy, the methods for the major bone repair were carried out in an orderly manner.
The several enormous skeletons, scorching with bone fire, rushed towards Chen Ping'an with overwhelming force.
Although the skeleton was bulky, it became much more agile under the power of the yin wind.
Pong!
With a deafening roar, the destructive beam of the Evil Eye struck a skeleton.
snort~
Beneath the pale, eerie smoke, a crater appeared on the skeleton's surface, scorched by bone fire. The skeleton merely took half a step back before continuing to roar and vibrate, hurtling towards Chen Ping'an.
"It has no pain, a sturdy frame, a massive size, and is restrained from using powerful weapons that break through the surface with a single point."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ping'an made an assessment of the skeletal condition.
This enormous skeleton should be a product of a puppet, but its specific materials and structure are somewhat special, making it a high-quality fourth-tier puppet.
His combat strength is similar to that of a senior Celestial Being. Under the Yin Wind Domain, he receives a moderate boost and can contend with a half-step Grand Cultivator.
Even if a great cultivator were to personally examine several skeletons, it would take a long time to resolve the situation, and it cannot be resolved in a short period of time.
"The judgment of the Holy Maiden of Tianluo was indeed correct."
Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly, a strange light appearing in them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"You're plotting against me?"
On the other side, the White Bone Cultivator and the Heavenly Net Saintess also truly clashed. Under the Yin Wind and Yin Domain, his combat power was also moderately amplified. Although the Heavenly Net Saintess had many methods, she was temporarily at a disadvantage.
Judging from the looks of it, it probably won't last much longer.
"Unbelievable!"
The Great Bone Cultivator sneered, his bone wings unfurled, a chilling wind howled, and bone fire scorched.
"Since that's the case..."
His expression was cold and stern, and with his bony hands, he grabbed the small golden sword that was flying in mid-air.
"Then let them all stay here!"
call out!
With its withered bone spikes, it was invincible in the Yin Wind Domain. It also possessed the Mountain-Suppressing Bone Seal, which suppressed the Heavenly Net Saintess's most precious treasure.
Everything was exactly as he had said.
"is it?"
The Heavenly Saintess's body was like a dream, her eyes a pale purple.
In the next instant, purple light rose from all directions of the valley, forming purple pillars of light in a flash, rippling with shimmering light and mingling with spiritual energy.
Thirty-two beams of light spiraled upwards, blooming into ripples like amethyst flowers, cascading down in countless shades of purple and crimson, forming an energy dome suspended in mid-air, like an inverted bowl, firmly holding this valley shut.
The Yin Fire Yin Domain formed by the Yin Wind Pearl was instantly diluted and suppressed to the bottom of the valley at an extremely fast pace.
All the ripples vanished without a trace, and in an instant, purple light flashed, weaving a dreamlike illusion.
