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

As soon as those three words were spoken, all the forces that had previously knelt before Zhou Ran, offered tributes, or been suppressed by the Demon Emperor's phantom began to recalculate.

Kui Shan of the Beast Bone Society squatted in his own storeroom, clutching a handful of magic crystals he hadn't had time to put away yet.

He looked gloomy.

He gave away a seven-thousand-year-old Star Transformation Grass and 30,000 mid-level magic crystals, but the Emperor Venerable in the inn was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

Kuishan's first thought was to take the things back.

My second thought was how Ming Sha died.

The third thought was that the 100,000-strong army that swallowed bones was still burning in the thunder.

He put the magic crystal back in the box and closed the lid.

"Don't go out."

The subordinate asked, "Master, that person is an imposter."

Kuishan raised his hand and slapped him.

"Could a fake weapon really split an army of 100,000 like that?"

"But the Grand Duke of Bone Swallowing said that he is a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"So what if you're at the Nascent Soul stage? You're also at the Nascent Soul stage, why don't you go out and confront him?"

The subordinates fell silent.

Kuishan sat on the box, increasingly annoyed by what he was thinking.

In the Demon Realm, high cultivation level is not scary; what's truly terrifying is a madman who can attract lightning tribulations.

On the top floor of the Magic Crystal Inn, Bone Swallower raised his hand and grabbed.

Five black rings fell from the sky, striking the three-layered sky-covering array.

Xuan Ying and Gu Li used all their demonic energy to block the edge of the formation.

The first black ring fell, shattering Xuan Ying's chest armor. He was sent flying backward, crashing through the outer wall of the secret chamber.

The second black ring fell, and the bones in his arms broke. He knelt on the ground, black blood gushing from his mouth.

Swallowing Bones did not look at them.

He stared at Zhou Ran.

"The essence of Nightfall lies within you."

"The Primordial Black Blade is in your hands."

"You also possess a pen that can correct words."

"I originally intended to spare your life and take you back to question you at my leisure. But that's no longer necessary."

Zhou Ran helped Hei Dao to his feet.

The tribulation lightning he just shared had almost completely depleted the newly generated Nascent Soul power within him.

The primordial spirit in the dantian had just taken shape, with black and gold gate patterns pressing on its forehead, and the other end of the gate bolt still connected to the earth.

He can no longer use a bone-pen to rigidly write out the grand rules.

The bigger the writing, the heavier the backlash.

But the bone was already pressing down in front of him.

Taking a step back, there are Qin San, Xiao Rou, Xuan Ying, and Gu Li behind the inn.

Zhou Ran had no intention of backing down.

Swallow Bone raised his hand.

The laws of the Tribulation Transcending stage pressed down into the inn.

The ground collapsed, the walls shattered, and the magic crystals around the array's core cracked one after another.

Qin San drew his sword and stood in front of Xiao Rou, but the sword was bent by the weight.

He watched Zhou Ran's retreating figure.

The Primordial Black Blade must not fall into the hands of the Bone Devourer, otherwise the passage between the Demon Realm and Earth will be exposed again.

Zhou Ran will not back down.

He intends to kill this Grand Duke who has undergone tribulation right here.

Even if there's only one chance to strike.

The hand that swallowed bones was less than ten feet away from Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran lowered his head and picked up the dark gold demon bone.

The demon bone has already cracked in two places.

The Grand Commander's seal was reduced to ashes.

The laws of the underworld have not completely dissipated.

The origin of the night sky was not completely severed.

And his newly formed Divine Soul.

Three forces surged and crashed within his body.

This might not be enough to kill someone undergoing tribulation.

But the only weakness of the Devourer is its desire to survive.

"Qin San".

"exist."

"Take Xiaorou out."

Qin San did not move.

"master."

"That's an order."

Qin San held the knife, paused for two breaths, and then turned around to pick up Xiao Rou.

Xiao Rou grabbed his collar.

"Zhou Ran is still inside."

"He told us to leave."

"I'm not leaving."

"If you keep it, it will only distract him."

Xiao Rou bit her lip and stopped struggling.

She left her natal Gu in Zhou Ran's sleeve.

Tun Gu smiled as he watched Qin San lead his men to retreat.

"Still trying to leave?"

He flicked his finger.

A black chain of law pierced through the half-collapsed inn, heading straight for Qin San's back.

Zhou Ran raised his sword.

The Taihuang Black Blade was drawn half an inch from its sheath.

The blade's intent met the chain, and the chain paused for a moment.

It only paused for a moment.

The gap between the Tribulation Transcending stage and the Nascent Soul stage cannot be bridged by a single sword.

A sense of pleasure welled up in Tun Gu's eyes.

He hated Ye Futian the most.

When Ye Futian was alive, he suppressed all the Grand Dukes of the Sixth Heaven. Even Tun Gu had to look up and speak according to Ye Futian's expression.

Now that Ye Futian is dead, his belongings have been taken by a lowly boy from the mortal realm.

He swallowed the bone but refused to accept it.

He wanted to crush Zhou Ran with his own hands and dig out the essence from his body.

"You are not the Demon Emperor, but merely a petty thief who stole relics."

Zhou Ran looked up.

"you're right."

Swallow a bone in one go.

Zhou Ran rarely admits that others are right.

"The knife is his, the essence is his, and the bones are his."

"But there's one thing you didn't calculate correctly."

Swallowing Bone frowned.

Zhou Ran pressed the ashes of the Grand Commander's Order onto the Demon Bone.

The residual ash seeped into the cracks.

The will of the underworld entered the depths of the demon's bones.

The Taihuang Black Blade emitted a low hum.

The five black rings of the bone-swallowing object began to tremble.

He sensed something was wrong and the power of his palm pressed down fiercely.

Zhou Ran's chest split open, and blood dripped onto the hilt of the knife.

His primordial spirit rose from his dantian.

The black and gold door pattern lit up.

He did not infuse the power of his primordial spirit into the White Bone Pen.

He attached the bone pen to the blade.

The pen tip swept across the desolate black blade.

[A single strike slays all mortals.]

The four characters are finished.

The bone pen broke in two.

Zhou Ran didn't go to see it.

He gripped the knife.

The hand that swallowed the bone had already landed.

The last layer of the great formation above the inn shattered.

Inside Blackwind City, everyone who looked up saw the giant hand of the law of bone devouring pressing down on the Magic Crystal Inn.

Under the immense power of the Tribulation Transcending Stage, dozens of houses in the surrounding area were crushed into rubble.

Many people thought it was over.

Yan Lie stood on the north gate, his eyes open.

He wanted to see how Zhou Ran would die.

I also want to confirm whether I made the wrong choice.

The next moment, a flash of light flew out from the inn.

There wasn't much activity.

The blade of light pierced through the Devouring Bone's palm, through the five black rings, through the Transcending Tribulation stage's protective laws, and also through the main ship behind the Devouring Bone.

The main ship broke in half.

Tun Gu stood still.

His palm remained in the downward pressing position.

The black ring fell down and landed on the ground.

Tun Gu looked down at his neck.

There's an extra thin line there.

He reached out to touch it.

The moment the finger touched it, the head fell off.

A Grand Duke in the Tribulation Transcending stage, who swallowed bones.

The body and head were separated.

Blackwind City fell silent.

In mid-air, the body of the Bone-Swallowing Demon had not yet fallen.

His primordial spirit burst forth from the corpse, transforming into a ball of white, bone-colored light, attempting to escape towards the main ship.
