Devour

Chapter 240 Eternal Bone Demon

Ningxiang warned: "Be careful, the altar just swallowed my dragon bone staff, it may be very dangerous inside."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Cheng Bai has the immortal weapon in his hand, and the world is his. The altar of the dead is not a dangerous place. He took out a city-breaking stick from the mustard seed that looked like an ornament and handed it to Ningxiang, "Use this weapon first, I will make you a better one in the future."

After giving a few instructions, he turned around, carrying the inheritance cube, and bravely ran towards the seventh floor of the altar, flying in the air.

Entering the altar, a suffocating feeling of oppression hits you. The surrounding space is unusually wide, and the air is filled with stuffiness and uneasiness, as if you are in a steamer.

Wherever you look, there is a hazy red light covering the walls, beams, and ceilings, all of which are hung with various skulls, both human and animal, of varying sizes.

In the center stood a huge sarcophagus covered with intricate rune arrays, which continuously exuded a strong, bloody aura, causing the surrounding skulls to tremble slightly as if alive. They slowly turned their pale faces towards the coffin, and their empty and eerie eye sockets seemed to be expecting something weird to happen.

"Gah...gah...gah..."

The heavy coffin lid was pushed open from the inside, making a dragging sound.

There was a rustling sound inside the coffin, as blood-red mist surged. Someone was wailing in pain and struggling to stand up. It seemed that the purified water just now had caused quite an impact.

Cheng Bai thought that the person who would crawl out would be Shangguan Longcheng, but what came out of the coffin was only a huge skull that was groaning.

Li Tong said: "The skull is his inner elixir, which contains the immortal spirit, and the coffin is the container of his demon body. This guy's so-called eternal way is to refine himself into an eternal bone demon, which needs to constantly replenish sacrifices to meet growth."

Cheng Bai said: "The foreign cultivators who come to explore the secret realm are undoubtedly a great tonic. But his strength is not strong, why can he be the king here?"

Li Tong sneered contemptuously: "A mere city lord is nothing more than a puppet tool. The altar exists to offer sacrifices to the God King Park. Most of the benefits go to the God King's corpse, and he is just given some soup from his teeth."

The huge skull was furious and said, "How dare you look down on me, Shangguan Longcheng! I am immortal and indestructible. I become stronger when I meet a stronger opponent. I am invincible. Today, I will let you turn into dry bones in the altar and never reincarnate."

The skull struggled and twisted, spewing out a cloud of red mist.

The fog ball seemed to have life. It stretched out its head, and its hands and feet moved. In an instant, it turned into a human form. It was a Shangguan Longcheng who was nearly nine meters tall, with a strong physique and bulging veins.

Cheng Bai said: "You have become much stronger, close to the state of inaction. The little water you just poured seems far from enough. You keep saying you want rain, but you are so afraid of water, how can you pray for rain?"

Shangguan Longcheng said angrily: "I hate rain the most. Only with the Dead Spirit Altar can we keep the drought situation under control. Letting in some rain is just a move to win the hearts of the people."

The long-term drought was actually caused by the altar, and the so-called divine fire that caused the drought were all lies to fool the people.

Cheng Bai asked, "How long have you been using your power for personal gain, setting up traps to deceive people?"

Shangguan Longcheng shouted, "The Eternal Holy City has flourished since I took over. It has been running smoothly for a hundred years. The general situation is unified, the people are stable, and the city is prosperous. No one in the Shangguan family has achieved such a glorious feat in tens of thousands of years. What do you, an outsider, know?"

Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Have you ruled the Eternal Holy City for a full hundred years? Who else is there in the Shangguan clan besides you?"

Shangguan Longcheng laughed and said, "A hundred years ago, the Shangguan family's bloodline was dead and I was the only one left. Otherwise, how could I inherit the only supreme eternal bloodline? You ignorant people talk too much nonsense, go to hell."

He rushed forward with vigorous steps, his punches as fast as thunder and as fierce as a gale, determined to tear the living person in front of him into pieces.

Cheng Bai did not show his sword, but performed the rotten wood carving technique with exquisite skill. His movements seemed insignificant, and then a few "click" and "crack" sounds were heard, and the fight ended.

Shangguan Longcheng flew backwards, his limbs broken, and he fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, limp and unable to move.

Cheng Bai sneered: "What else can you do? Are you just relying on a puppet thug?"

Li Tong pointed out: "The divine essence gathered by the Dead Soul Altar is far from enough to awaken the corpse of the God King Park. But this kid is not so easy to defeat. He gets stronger every time he gets up."

Cheng Bai said nonchalantly: "Stand up again and let me see."

The huge skull in the coffin was muttering something, and many skulls around it were shaking violently, as if they were doing a weird dance in the air, which was creepy.

Shangguan Longcheng grunted a few times, and his broken limbs quickly recovered. He stood up, and his physique suddenly grew to 13 meters in height again. The clothes and armor that appeared with his rebirth were all torn to pieces, leaving him naked, and every part of his body was distorted and twisted like an alien monster.

He was very proud and laughed loudly, "It will be easier for me to get your power if I enter this place. Those six chicks outside can't make the Eternal God Body so powerful. Little white face, watch me crush you into dregs and squeeze every drop of blood out of you."

However, the same sound of fighting suddenly rang out, and in less than two breaths, Shangguan Longcheng was lying on the spot like a dead fish again with all his limbs broken.

He couldn't keep calm and asked in shock: "Who are you?"

Cheng Bai did not answer, but asked: "Who is Jing'er?"

Shangguan Longcheng climbed up again under the help of the inner elixir of the skull behind him. He looked even stronger and taller. He looked down at the mortal world and said, "That little bitch who dared to compete with me for the inheritance of the eternal bloodline should have died long ago. I had her body wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into an unknown corner to feed the dogs."

Cheng Bai narrowed his eyes and asked, "She is your sister. Should we call her Shangguan Jing'er? How long has she been dead?"

Shangguan Longcheng said: "I broke Shangguan Jing'er's neck a hundred years ago. So what if we are siblings? The bloodline cursed by the Great Emperor can only live in humiliation and not be free. I am the only one in the Shangguan family who dares to fight against the heavens for my life. As long as one person lives forever, it is enough!"

Cheng Bai was slightly moved when he heard this and asked, "You even killed your own sister, why?"

"Shangguan Jing'er is my cousin. She succumbed to fate, but I didn't! The emperor punished Pufu's family and forbade them to leave the Eternal Coffin Continent forever. I refuse to accept, I am unwilling, and I don't want to! I will fight against heaven and earth, no matter what the cost, even if it is family affection, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

After Shangguan Longcheng finished speaking, he attacked again, his huge fist moving like wind and thunder, more powerful than before.

Just when he thought he had defeated his opponent, his vision became distorted like an hallucination, and he was once again knocked back to his original position by the astonishing strength and skill. He collapsed to the ground like a dead snake, shaking all over as if he had epilepsy.

Li Tong whispered, "His body is not a true eternal divine body. It can only carry a limited amount of power from Father Divine King Park, so it is impossible to strengthen it endlessly. If he wants to cultivate his inner elixir to its best state, it is almost there. When he stands up again, he will be in the middle stage of the Wu Nian realm."

Cheng Bai was just waiting for Shangguan Longcheng to reach his strongest state. He saw him stand up shakily. He was already a 30-meter-tall giant, with tendons and muscles twisted and swollen, as if he was about to explode.

Shangguan Longcheng panted and said, "I am so strong, full of strength, I can push down mountains and overturn rivers and seas, I can definitely crush you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw a sky full of sword energy sweeping over him. The cold light was so sharp that he could not open his eyes, and he still had no power to fight back.

Cheng Bai had been patient enough by now, and swung his palm knife to release three hundred layers of muffled black spirits to form a knife formation, which covered Shangguan Longcheng tightly and cut it into thousands of pieces in an instant.

Then he immediately sacrificed the Four Symbols Cauldron, and before Shangguan Longcheng tried to be reborn into a new body, he took the skull in the coffin into the cauldron and refined it with brilliant spiritual fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the skull begged loudly in the cauldron: "Sir, spare my life. I am Shangguan Longcheng, the lord of the city. Without me, we would not be able to find the Star Burning Sky Fire and other treasures. Please, hero, spare my life."

Li Tong revealed the truth: "The Star Burning Sky Fire is inside the corpse of the God King Park. Once it is taken away, heavy rain will surely fall, and the drought will be immediately resolved, and this dead soul altar will be useless."

Cheng Bai increased the fire in the furnace and said with a smile: "Lord City Lord, what else can you do for me?"

The Eternal Bone Demon screamed, his consciousness was wiped out by the Four Symbols Cauldron, and he was refined into a bone pill, shining with pink and gold light.

Upon closer inspection, this pill in the realm of thoughtlessness only contains three secret techniques: "blood sacrifice", "quiet universe" and "rebirth". Although the number is small, each of them is the essence.
