Chapter 397: Chapter 196: Tier Four Spiritual Fire: Incinerating the Demon

When Xiao Chen arrived at Yan’an Mountain, south of the Lingyuan Sect, a vast sea of white bones stretched out as far as the eye could see.

From the Cyan Cloud Sect to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, the White Bone Demon Body had reaped the lives of tens of thousands of Cultivators and countless mortals.

Although many of the bones had been shrunk through Refinement, they still amassed into a vast, overwhelming tide.

An area a hundred miles across was completely submerged by the Sea of White Bones.

It rolled slowly toward Elemental Magnetic, like a landslide of bone.

He hadn’t seen it in just over a month, yet he could already detect more than one Golden Core-level aura emanating from the White Bone Demon Body.

They were White Bone Demon Puppets, formed from the remains of the Golden Core True Men of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Their purpose was to venture out and hunt living creatures, continuing to add fuel to the ever-growing Sea of White Bones.

The very instant Xiao Chen appeared, a vast Divine Sense locked onto him.

This Divine Sense was utterly chaotic, as if dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of Cultivators were simultaneously using their own Divine Senses to investigate Xiao Chen.

Externally, countless strands of hair rose up, each holding aloft an eyeball.

Then, hundreds of millions of eyeballs turned in unison to stare at Xiao Chen.

Had any other Golden Core Cultivator been in his place, that gaze alone would have plunged them into terror.

Even with Xiao Chen’s fortitude, he felt his skin crawl.

The vast Sea of White Bones did not alter its course. Aided by the strands of hair, the eyeballs maintained their unblinking stare even as they moved.

At the same time, the nearby White Bone Demon Puppets changed direction and began to close in on him.

"How fucking disgusting!"

For once, Xiao Chen swore. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the True Yang Fire Dragon to clear away the approaching White Bone Demon Puppets.

He then reached out, casually pointing a finger at the ocean of bone before him.

"Go!"

At his command, the Beidou Spirit Fire within his Golden Core shot out from his fingertip and landed in the endless Sea of White Bones.

The white Spiritual Fire landed amongst the white bones, instantly blending in.

With the Sea of White Bones continuously rolling forward, it was impossible to discern what was happening.

But Gu Weiyuan, what little reason he had left, immediately sensed that something was amiss.

’More and more of the bones are rapidly disappearing!’

He scrambled to halt his advance.

The White Bone Altar at the very center ground to a halt, but the Sea of White Bones behind it continued to surge forward relentlessly.

A small mountain range of bones immediately piled up at the boundary.

Vast quantities of bones tumbled one after another into the rapidly spreading Spiritual Fire, igniting the surrounding bones in a chain reaction.

The densely packed bones were supposed to act as a barrier for the White Bone Demon Body.

When faced with a siege by Cultivators, even a typical Golden Core True Man would find it nigh on impossible to breach this outer barrier.

Now, however, the sheer density of the Sea of White Bones had become its fatal weakness.

It spread from one to two, two to four, four to eight...

Soon, the pristine Beidou Spirit Fire had expanded thousands, then tens of thousands of times over. In the next instant, it grew by a factor of hundreds of thousands.

Like an avalanche, it swept through all the bones, leaving nothing behind.

As far as the eye could see, an area hundreds of miles wide had been transformed into a sea of flames.

Countless bones sizzled in the Spiritual Fire, emitting a series of sharp CRACKS and POPS before being swiftly reduced to ash.

Even so, the Sea of White Bones continued to advance for a full Quarter Hour before its leading edge was finally ignited.

And at its core, the mountain-like White Bone Altar could no longer spare any thought for Xiao Chen.

It was desperately commanding all the White Bone Demon Puppets to cut its main body off from the surrounding Sea of White Bones.

But it was too late.

The pristine Beidou Spirit Fire swarmed up the central White Bone Altar from all sides.

It erupted into a dazzling flower of flame a thousand feet high.

"No!"

In the final moments of his life, Gu Weiyuan’s mind became clear once more.

The massive altar split open, creating several fissures. Through them, a body could be seen—devoid of all flesh and blood save for its head, leaving only a skeletal frame.

"You again!"

Gu Weiyuan’s eyes flew open, glaring at Xiao Chen with utter hatred. "It was you! You destroyed the Holy Bone and turned me into this!"

"By the Yellow Springs True Monarch above, I offer my very soul to curse you! May you fall into Eternal Hell and never know reincarnation!"

But this was nothing more than a powerless, futile rage.

With the Divine Protection Veil, such a curse posed no threat to Xiao Chen whatsoever.

He simply smiled, quietly watching as the Beidou Spirit Fire turned every last bone to cinders.
