Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
After the sword energy swept past, it left behind a sword scar that was tens of thousands of feet long. The lingering sword energy devoured all the life force nearby, and the Sky Devil Sect Master was deader than dead.
The Golden Tome of Creation flipped open to a random page and revealed his crimes.
In order to break through to the Profound Realm, he had used five hundred pairs of virgin boys and girls as ingredients to refine the Breakthrough Pill. He only achieved breakthrough after consuming this Pill.
“Scum!” Xiao Ran cursed with indignation.
Golden light swirled out, displaying four items: One million Mastery Points, one hundred years of Martial Arts evolution, Dragon Bone Pill, Sacred Heart Essence Nourishing Jade Pendant (Numinous Treasure).
Sacred Heart Essence Nourishing Jade Pendant: nourish the body and soul, recovery +3.
He took out the jade pendant and attached it to his waist.
A spectacular force was emitted from the jade pendant. It seeped into Xiao Ran’s body, nourishing his body and soul.
Exhaustion was dispelled, and his recovery was tripled.
He divided the one million Mastery Points into two parts. He apportioned one part to the Sanctifying Righteous Treasure Tome, and the remaining points were added to the Heavenly Slave Divine Finger.
After the Attributes were refreshed,
Heavenly Slave Divine Finger: Beginner’s Level
Sanctifying Righteous Treasure Tome: Beginner’s Level
Even the strength of the Immense Righteous Energy had multiplied by three times.
He took out the Dragon Bone Pill and consumed it to strengthen his physical body. After digesting the invigorating energy within, his physical body evolved further until it was equivalent to the level of Master Realm Level 10.
After absorbing the hundred years worth of Martial Arts evolution, he was only 35 years away from breaking through.
He put away the Beryl Lotus Brilliance Sword.
Looking at the unconscious Wen Fuxian and Lord Amethyst Sword, he flicked his finger and injected two streams of spirit energy into their bodies.
He then turned his gaze towards the northwest direction.
“I still have two more days of break. I can go over and take a look,” Xiao Ran said.
He took out the Sky Demon Skeleton and removed its seal.
Whoosh!
Once free of the purifying spiritual force confining it, it took flight like a wild horse that broke free from captivity, shooting off into the horizon in a flash.
Xiao Ran gave a slight smile and followed it using his Traversing the Heavens in Twelve Steps skill.
From the capital city to the Mount Flaming Inferno, the journey involved passing through two provinces and one county.
After just half a day, Xiao Ran arrived at a certain place in the Mount Flaming Inferno.
He released the Sky Demon Skeleton from his hand and it transformed into a beam of green light that burrowed rapidly into the ground.
“…” Xiao Ran was dumbfounded.
He drew out the Beryl Lotus Brilliance Sword, sliced open a path in the ground and went after it.
Gradually, as he dug deeper and deeper, he found a hard diamond gemstone. This stone was extremely tough, and ordinary Master Realm warriors would not be able to destroy it.
However in this location, they were strewn everywhere.
He kept digging.
Fifteen minutes later,
he had dug through to a passageway. He retrieved the Sky Demon Skeleton and put it away, all the while surveying the massive burial chamber that loomed up before his eyes.
Demonic energy permeated the air so thickly that it felt like a physical mass.
If demons were to practice their skills here, their speed would increase by at least five times.
“Is this the tomb of the Sky Demon Skeleton? I wonder what had summoned it?” Xiao Ran thought to himself.
He mobilized his spiritual soul energy for a clearer look. The residual energy in the tomb labyrinth was unable to stop him.
He soon found the main chamber.
A Grand Master Realm Level 9 Cardinal Vulpes fox demon was attacking the remnant soul. The remnant soul had a protective barrier left behind by the Sky Demon. However, under the fox demon’s unyielding attacks, its demonic force was getting weaker and weaker. From the look of its current condition, it could at most last for a few more minutes.
“I see.” Xiao Ran understood at last.
For some unknown reason, the remnant soul had summoned the Sky Demon Skeleton from afar, leading to this scenario.
He strode towards the main chamber.
In the main chamber,
Fox Demon Chi Huayuan looked excitedly at the remnant soul of the Crimson Cetan shielded by the demonic protective barrier. Demonic power was concentrated on his sharp claws, and every strike he unleashed on the shield was powerful and relentless.
“I advise you to stop resisting and just submit to me meekly. Otherwise, when I break this barrier of yours, I will erase your intelligence and make you disappear from this world.”
The remnant soul of the Crimson Cetan was filled with hateful resentment. It desperately tried to muster all its demonic energy to protect itself. At the same time it was puzzled. It had clearly felt the aura of the Skeleton earlier. Why had it suddenly disappeared?
“Stubborn fool!” Chi Huayuan chastised with a cold snort.
After dozens of strikes,
the demonic energy protective barrier had already become translucent. The demonic energy circulating around it was nearly non-existent.
“Now.” Chi Huayuan’s eyes lit up.
He opened his mouth and spat out the Crimson Devil Sky Fire. The blaze quivered in the wind briefly before transforming into a seven to eight hundred feet towering inferno. Terrifying flames burned fiercely, decimating all the demonic energy in the hall.
“Break now!”
The Crimson Devil Sky Fire spiraled upwards and plunged down onto the demonic energy protective barrier forcefully.
Crack!
A crisp shattering sound was heard. The demonic energy protective barrier could no longer withstand the force and finally shattered.
Just as the blaze was about to land on the Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul, a beam of golden flames shot out from behind it, landed right in its path and intercepted the entire Crimson Devil Sky Fire’s attack.
“Who is behind me? Show your face!” Chi Huayuan roared.
Xiao Ran walked up from behind and stopped in front of him. He drew out the Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire and injected a beam of golden light into it.
Buzz!
The Empyrean Conflagration Holy Fire absorbed the golden light and then devoured the Crimson Devil Sky Fire in one gulp.
It then transformed into a large web of fiery flames that enveloped the Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul and brought him to Xiao Ran’s feet.
Holding the Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul, Xiao Yan sized it up. “You’re the one who summoned the Sky Demon Skeleton?”
The Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul was terrified. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. At first glance, this character seemed more terrifying than Chi Huayuan. “The ske… skeleton is in your hands?”
“Yes,” Xiao Ran nodded.
“Release the Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul!” Chi Huayuan berated.
An infinite vicious force pushed forward. Eyes as big as bronze bells glared at him without mercy.
“No.” Xiao Ran sealed the Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul and slipped it into the folds of his clothes.
When he saw this,
Chi Huayuan became infuriated. With both his eyes spitting out fiery flames, he roared, “Then you shall die!”
He reverted to his true form. A Cardinal Vulpes fox demon over 200 feet in size appeared on the spot.
He charged forward so fast that afterimages were left behind in his wake. His razor-sharp claws extended outwards and slashed through the air. The sonic boom that resulted from the air being torn apart blasted out in tandem with the terrifying force heading straight for Xiao Ran’s head.
“Good, I can settle the earlier score with you now,” Xiao Ran said.
He raised his palm and the Immense Righteous Energy rushed out. As he swung his arm out, the force landed on the onrushing claws.
Upon impact, the demon’s entire arm was crippled.
A righteous and saintly force pounded into the demon’s body and sent him flying. He smashed violently into the wall before stopping.
He walked up to the fallen creature and asked, “Is that all you’ve got?”
Chi Huayuan was horrified. “Which academy are you from? Why did you barge into my territory in Mount Flaming Inferno? Aren’t you afraid the Patriarchs will take revenge?”
“Everything under the heavens belongs to the Imperial family. The Mount Flaming Inferno is within the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom, in other words it is the territory of Great Xia. Why can’t I come?” Xiao Ran asked.
“You… You…”
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ran finished him off with a palm strike. His remaining unspoken words would never be known.
Demonic energy churned and swirled, then a remnant soul shot out from his pulverized corpse. It looked at Xiao Ran in terror before shooting outwards.
“Did I say you can leave?” Xiao Ran snorted in an icy tone.
He took a step forward and re-appeared in front of the fleeing remnant soul.
Under its horrified gaze, Xiao Ran pressed his palm down. “No…”
The palm fell and the remnant soul was utterly destroyed.
The Golden Tome of Creation appeared and displayed an item, 300,000 Mastery Points.
Xiao Ran pursed his lips.?That’s it?
He added the 300,000 Mastery Points to the Nine Heavens Evil Spirit Purification Skill. This being a Godfiend technique, he could only slowly refine it with Mastery Points.
He took out the remnant soul of the Crimson Cetan and removed its seal. “What is going on?”
“You… what are you doing?” The remnant soul of the Crimson Cetan stammered in terror.
“I ask the questions around here, not you.” As he spoke, a dazzling sword intent rose from Xiao Ran’s body and locked onto the remnant soul.
“Don’t do it, I’ll tell you everything!” The Crimson Cetan’s remnant soul instantly capitulated.
