After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

The Bone-Swallowing Duke has finally made his move.

The nine black rings behind him spun into a line, and a swallowing sound came from inside the rings. Some of the falling black lightning was swallowed by the rings, and the remaining lightning struck him, tearing his white bone royal robes and charring half of his body.

The bone swallowing did not retract.

He stepped off the main ship, crossed the sea of ​​thunder, and headed straight for Blackwind City.

With each step, a hole burned through by lightning appeared beneath their feet.

The 100,000-strong army cried out, scattered, and fell in the rear.

Swallowing the bone, he did not look back.

The dead demon soldiers can be summoned again.

There is only one Taihuang Black Blade.

When he burst out of the sea of ​​thunder, half of his shoulder was exposed to bone, and only five of the nine black rings remained.

The Bone-Swallowing Bone hovered above the Magic Crystal Inn.

He saw Zhou Ran in the top-level array eye.

Transformation stage.

There was no attempt to conceal anything.

Tun Gu stared at Zhou Ran, his face still dripping with flesh.

"Nascent Soul stage?"

"You are not the Demon Emperor at all!"

The news of swallowing bones spread throughout half of Blackwind City.

Those hiding inside didn't come out, but they all heard it.

Transformation stage.

The sound of bones being swallowed echoed in the sky, causing the roof tiles of Blackwind City to fall in a rustling sound.

The demon cultivators in the city looked at each other, their fervor instantly cooling.

Transformation stage.

At the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, this level is merely that of an ordinary subordinate general, not even as good as the core disciples of some major powers.

The one they had been kneeling before was actually just a junior in the Nascent Soul stage.

"I thought that he had died and been resurrected by the heavens that night."

The bone fell onto the roof ridge of the inn's top floor, and the tiles turned to dust at his feet.

His remaining five black rings slowly rotated behind him, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"Turns out he was just a thief who stole the source."

Zhou Ran sat in the center of the formation, his expression unchanged.

His primordial spirit had been completely condensed, and black and gold light flowed deep within his dantian.

Although his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his aura exuded an indescribable antiquity and high dimension.

"thief?"

Zhou Ran stood up, and the Taihuang Black Blade drew a spark on the ground.

"Swallow bones, that's not what you said when you knelt before me 30,000 years ago."

He swallowed his bone and sneered.

"Stop playing tricks!"

"If you were Ye Futian, I would already be a corpse."

"You did have some skill in using lightning tribulation to destroy my army, but how much demonic energy do you have left?"

With a single step, Tun Gu vanished instantly.

He appeared before the secret chamber door, his white bone royal robes fluttering in the wind.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, and grabbed directly at Zhou Ran's chest.

This claw strike contained the power of the laws of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and dark cracks appeared in space beneath it.

Qin San moved swiftly, drawing his long sword in an attempt to stop him.

But Tun Gu merely snorted, and an invisible force sent Qin San flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

Xiao Rou hurriedly released the Gu worms, but before they could get close to Tun Gu, they were burned to ashes by the demonic fire surrounding him.

Xuan Ying and Gu Li also wanted to fight, but their injuries were too severe to move.

The claw was about to strike Zhou Ran's chest.

Zhou Ran did not dodge.

He simply raised his left hand to shield himself with the broken, dark gold primordial bone.

The bone-devouring claw touched the primordial bone.

A strange wave spread out.

The action of swallowing the bone stopped instantly.

His sneer froze, and the greed in his eyes turned into horror.

He discovered that the demonic energy he possessed during his tribulation stage began to leak out rapidly the moment it touched the bone.

Moreover, the demonic bloodline within him once again emanated that irresistible sense of submission.

"This...this is the Origin Bone!"

Tun Gu tried to pull his hand back, but the bone was like a bottomless abyss, sticking tightly to his palm.

Zhou Ran looked at him with a cold gaze.

"I told you, you'd better live to see that day."

"Now, your life is over."

Zhou Ran raised his right hand, and the Taihuang Black Blade transformed into a black light, heading straight for Tun Gu's throat.

Grand Duke Devourer was, after all, a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert.

At the critical moment of life and death, he let out a roar, forcefully breaking five finger bones in his right hand and breaking free from the suction force of the primordial bone.

He retreated rapidly, instantly disappearing back into the sky outside the inn.

His right hand was covered in blood, with the bone exposed, and he looked somewhat disheveled.

"So what if it's the original bone?"

The Bone-Swallowing Bone hovered in mid-air, and the five black rings behind it began to burn.

"You're merely a Nascent Soul cultivator; you're completely incapable of unleashing the true power of your Origin Bone!"

"I will risk damaging my cultivation today to refine you!"

He formed hand seals, and the remaining thunderclouds in the sky were forcibly absorbed by him, transforming into a huge thunder spear.

Black demonic fire coiled around the spear, emanating a destructive aura.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, Tun Gu's Thunder Spear transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight towards the Magic Crystal Inn.

This attack was enough to raze the entire inn and the surrounding area for miles to the ground.

The demon cultivators in the city fled in all directions, fearing they would be caught in the aftershocks.

Yan Lie stood on the city wall, watching the shot, his palms sweating profusely.

He knew that this attack would determine the fate of Blackwind City, and also his own life or death.

in the secret room.

Zhou Ran watched the falling lightning spear, his expression remaining calm.

He absorbed the primordial bone into his body and gripped the Primordial Black Blade with both hands.

"Qin San, take Xiao Rou and step back."

Zhou Ran gave the instructions in a low voice.

Qin San struggled to his feet and pulled Xiao Rou to the deepest part of the secret room.

The Nascent Soul within Zhou Ran's body erupted with dazzling light.

He didn't use any fancy moves; he simply swung his knife once.

This strike aimed at the void.

Lightning is forbidden here.

The power of the White Bone Pen's rules was incorporated into this strike.

The sharpness of the Primordial Black Blade combined with the power of rules, drawing a pitch-black arc in the air.

The seemingly unstoppable thunderous spear vanished silently the moment it touched the black arc.

There was no physical collision, and no aftershocks.

It was as if it had never existed.

The Grand Duke of Bone Swallow's pupils suddenly widened.

"What...what kind of rule is this?"

He couldn't understand how a Nascent Soul cultivator could possibly wield such high-dimensional power of rules.

This was beyond his comprehension.

Zhou Ran sheathed his sword and stood in the center of the formation. Although his face was even paler, his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

"Swallowing Bones, you know nothing of power."

Zhou Ran's voice rang out in the sky, carrying an undeniable authority.

Tun Gu looked at Zhou Ran, then at his own broken right hand and the few remaining black rings.

He knew he had met his match today.

This young man in the Nascent Soul stage, although not highly skilled, has a wide variety of methods and can even rewrite the rules of heaven and earth.

If the fighting continues, he might die here.

"Walk!"

Tun Gu was a decisive person. Without any hesitation, he turned around and transformed into a streak of black light, speeding towards the outside of the city.

He actually escaped.

His army of 100,000 was wiped out, and he himself was wounded. In the end, he didn't even leave behind a harsh word before fleeing.

Blackwind City was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at the receding black light, speechless for a long time.

A Grand Duke in the Tribulation Transcending stage was actually forced to retreat by a young man in the Nascent Soul stage.

Yan Lie stood on the city wall, his body trembling slightly.

He knew that the world in Blackwind City had truly changed.
