Daqin Zhentiansi

The core of the Demon Island.

White bone altar.

At the center of the altar, a massive teleportation array, based on white bones and powered by soul fire, was humming violently!

The space was forcibly stretched and distorted, and the surrounding light seemed to be soaked in oil, groaning under the strain!

It seemed as if the world was about to be torn apart at any moment!

"Amaterasu," the leader of the Japanese rebels who completely abandoned his human form and converted to demonic ways, sits atop a hideous bone seat entwined with demonic patterns and forged from white bones, his face twisted and insane.

He held aloft a scepter inlaid with filthy gems and shaped like a withered bone, and roared ancient and evil incantations intermittently and madly.

With each syllable, the magic runes on the altar burned brighter.

At the central array eye, an increasingly thick, dark purple beam of light shot into the sky, like a poisonous thorn, forcefully piercing through the spatial barrier that had been forcibly opened above!
The sky was like cracked glass, with thick, alien darkness flowing from the cracks!

Even more terrifying, at the top of the pillar of light, a gigantic phantom of an evil eye, composed of chaotic nebulae and blasphemous runes, was rapidly condensing!
A viscous, almost tangible, extraterrestrial demonic power, carrying endless malice and a destructive will, surged across time and space!

"Boom——"

The ground of the entire Fusang Island trembled violently, and the mountains shook violently. Countless low-level demons within a radius of 30,000 miles instinctively prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear under this overwhelming demonic power.

The air felt as if it were filled with heavy lead and mercury, and every breath carried a burning despair in my lungs.

This pressure far surpasses that of the Lava Great Sage we encountered before, indicating that it has definitely reached a higher level, the third realm of the Great Sage, or even higher!

Once the projection is fully solidified and a stable extraterrestrial passage is opened, the entire Boundless Sea Immortal Island, and even the Nine Continents world thereafter, will face an unimaginable catastrophe!

Chu Zhaonan mingled among the miners, no more than a hundred feet away from the outer edge of the altar.

A chilling storm was brewing in his seemingly numb eyes.

He saw the mountain of corpses of cultivators piled up below the altar, the remnants of the failed "sacrifice" a few days earlier.

He heard Amaterasu Shinto chanting increasingly frantically and urgently from the high platform, each chant shortening the countdown to the end of the world.

He felt the teeth-grinding tearing sound of the spatial barrier growing clearer and clearer.

The oppressive aura emanating from that enormous evil eye had already caused the weaker members of the mining slave group to silently convulse and collapse to the ground.

You only get one chance.

Can't wait any longer!

The closer you get to the core, the stricter the checks become. If you go any further, your whereabouts may be exposed at any time by the divine sense of a high-level demonic cultivator!
Moreover, the teleportation array is about to be activated. Once the evil god's projection is complete, it will be too late!

He looked up and saw Cai Xu and the others.

His breathing gradually subsided, as if all the breath in his body had ceased.

Ahead, the ore-carrying convoy was brutally intercepted in the outer restricted area by several demonic cultivators exuding a sinister aura.

The demonic cultivator cursed impatiently, ordering the mine slaves to pile the heavy ore in the designated area and get out of there immediately.

One of the guards casually lashed out with his bone whip at an elderly miner who was moving a little slower, sending up a cloud of blood mist.

A faint ripple stirred in the stagnant crowd, a tremor of desperate fear. Just as the guard turned to rebuke another group of miners!

"For the Qin Dynasty! Kill—!!!"

Chu Zhaonan's numb mask shattered instantly!

The disguised aura was torn apart like shredded paper by a sharp, upward-reaching blade!

A resolute, lightning-fast light flashed in his eyes!
He pulled out a long sword—neither gold nor bone, wrapped with a dragon-shaped phantom—from under the tattered cloth at his waist with a backhand—the Dragon Bone Sword!

The dragon-like sword cry drowned out the hum of the magic array. The dazzling sword light, like the rising sun tearing through the dark clouds, carried the tragic intensity of mutual destruction and rushed straight towards the core of the dark purple light pillar!

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

Immediately following, several clear and melodious sword cries erupted simultaneously!
Those disguised Nine Yang Sword Sect disciples also tore off their disguises in an instant!

They had already silently formed the prototype of their most familiar sword formation. Several sharp sword lights followed closely behind Chu Zhaonan, spreading out like a peacock spreading its tail, turning into an interwoven sword net, resolutely slashing at the ferocious demon general who was trying to pounce from behind!
"Enemy attack! It's spies from the Immortal Island!"

The guard's shrill cry pierced the noise!
The air around the magic circle instantly froze!
Several Fusang priests, clad in magnificent demonic robes and exuding an aura as deep as the sea, emanated a surge of demonic energy at the Grandmaster level and reacted with the speed of ghosts!
They appeared out of nowhere, as if they had distorted space, and fearlessly used their demonic powers, physical bodies, and even detonated the protective magical treasures on their bodies to block the only way between Chu Zhaonan and the array's core!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere under the sharp sword light, but that crazy will to die actually made the incomparably sharp sword net stop for a moment!
At that critical moment, when all attention was drawn to Chu Zhaonan and the others!

"Roar--!!!!"

A roar a hundred times more ferocious and wild than any of the demons present exploded from the direction of the demon army camp like a rolling thunderclap, instantly tearing apart the clamor of the battlefield!
It's Cai Xu!
ready!

The massive demonic bone material he was pretending to be carrying was instantly shattered!
The rough demonic armor on its body shattered and flew off like paper!

His clothes ripped apart, and bluish-black scales spread from under his skin like a tide, covering his entire body!

The joints cracked and popped, and the body expanded, twisted and deformed in an instant, with bone spurs bursting out!

He transformed into a terrifying form, half-human and half-savage behemoth, with eyes as red as burning blood crystals. His reason had been burned away by the ultimate will to destroy, leaving only a last thread!
The half-demon bloodline within him, which had been suppressed by the secret medicine, was now burning up completely!
The violent power ignited the surrounding air, creating crackling and popping sounds!
He poured this power, this essence, this life potential into every bone and every muscle of his body without regard to cost, refining and condensing it!
The target was not the approaching guards, nor the distant Amaterasu, but rather—

The energy core base supporting that towering dark purple pillar of light!

Without hesitation, without a word!
He transformed into a meteorite launched from the barrel, carrying with him a fierce will to shatter mountains, and his physical body became the most savage and ultimate siege hammer!
"Demon Bone - Ram! Hammer!"

“Boom——!!!!!”

An indescribable roar!
The space itself seemed to collapse from the impact!
Centered on the point of impact, a devastating shockwave spread out in full force, visible to the naked eye!

The base, made of black iron that had stood for over ten thousand years and was engraved with layers of strange and evil patterns, and considered the core hub, let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain before Chu Zhaonan's dragon bone sword light arrived, under the impact of this half-demon beast that contained the tempering will of chaotic true essence!
Fragments!

First, fine cracks spread like a spider web, then, like an exploding star, they shattered into countless flying fragments of white bone!
The terrifying magical runes resembled broken chains, their light darting wildly!
The central pillar of light swayed and twisted violently!
The enormous, almost completely solidified phantom of the evil eye at the top, radiating a suffocating aura of the Great Sage, trembled violently and let out an invisible, soul-shaking, furious shriek. Its outline instantly became blurred and faded!
cost--

Blood mist!
Cai Xu's half-demon body, imbued with all his power, was like a rag doll struck head-on by a massive hammer. With terrifying sounds of bones cracking and internal organs shattering, he was blasted away by the violent backlash, his body covered in blood.

He fell far to the ground amidst a pile of hideous demonic skeletons, motionless, barely breathing, his life force as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of death!
"Cai Xu!"

A roar came from the direction of the demon soldiers' camp!

Captain Wang Hu broke through the obstruction, his eyes blazing with fury!

He pounced on the skeleton like a raging thunderbolt!
On his palms, cyan-purple destructive lightning and strange life force intertwined wildly, crackling loudly as they slammed down on Cai Xu's mangled, shattered body!
"Lightning strikes, forges bones! Hold on!!"

Cai Xu's desperate collision created an opportunity for Chu Zhaonan! (End of Chapter)
