An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

A terrifying divine thought originating from the Emperor's status, like an invisible divine thunderbolt, struck directly into the head of the Undying Bone!

"Click—"

Within that hard skull, strong enough to withstand missile bombardment, the faint malevolent consciousness that had been gestating within the Undying Bone was completely crushed and erased by Lu Li's casual thought!

The A-grade Undying Bone, which had been struggling violently just moments before, froze instantly and then crashed straight back into the black coffin, becoming nothing more than a perfect, mindless shell.

"alright."

Lu Li turned to look at the utterly shocked Lu Xueyao: "I have erased the consciousness of this incorruptible bone and had the Mighty Bone Demon devour it, which is enough to allow the bone puppet to undergo another qualitative leap."

"As for you, the millennia-old extreme Yin corpse energy contained within this Undying Bone body is excellent nourishment for your cultivation of the White Bone Divine Demon Scripture. Immediately sit cross-legged and absorb the corpse energy!"

"Oh, right, there's also this black coffin made of thousand-year-old yin locust wood, and the soul-nourishing wood outside. They're all priceless treasures. Don't forget to take them all later."

After explaining everything, Lu Li's projection became illusory due to his actions.

In order to preserve enough divine sense to explore in his sea of ​​consciousness, his projection completely dissipated and could not be manifested and summoned again for a short period of time.

"Thank you, brother."

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath to calm her excited emotions.

She walked to the black coffin and looked at the dark blue-black dried corpse inside, which exuded a terrifying aura.

"Little White, eat it!"

The Mighty Bone Demon roared excitedly and pounced directly into the black coffin.

Without the protection of supernatural rules, the incorruptible body was bitten and swallowed by the Mighty Bone Demon, which used its shared power of devouring.

Lu Xueyao was not idle either. She sat cross-legged beside the black coffin and frantically circulated the mental cultivation method of the White Bone God and Demon Scripture.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the dense, almost tangible, bluish-black corpse energy emanating from the uncorrupted remains transformed into vortexes of energy that surged wildly into her body through her mouth and nose.

This corpse energy was domineering and chilling; if an ordinary person were to inhale it, they would instantly turn into pus.

However, Lu Xueyao's body was protected by blood nerves, so this corpse energy was directly guided to her golden skin and jade bones.

"Crackling sound—"

A series of crisp, grinding sounds came from inside her body.

The cultivation of the White Bone God and Demon Codex is a process of continuously demonizing the physical body.

Ultimately, they might even cultivate the indestructible White Bone Demon Body.

At this moment, nourished by the continuous flow of millennia-old corpse energy, her mastery of this demonic art began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Time passed slowly until she completely absorbed the last trace of corpse energy.

"Buzz—"

A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from Lu Xueyao's body.

The White Bone God and Demon Codex has finally reached the first level!

The characteristic of this first layer is that it is a skeleton. Although from the outside, Lu Xueyao is still a beautiful and aloof girl with snow-white skin, and her appearance has not changed at all.

However, if one could see through her body, one would find that her bones no longer had the jade-like luster they once possessed, but instead had taken on a deep grayish-white hue.

On each bone, faint, mysterious magical patterns flowed.

This means that her bones have already acquired a trace of immortality!

Even if your limbs are broken by a powerful enemy in battle, as long as the magical runes in your bone marrow remain, these broken bones can be forcibly reassembled and healed in an instant, restoring your fighting power!

Lu Xueyao stood up, feeling the terrifying defensive and regenerative power within her body that far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine, and a hint of confidence flashed in her eyes.

Even without using her magic, she is now strong enough to fight against D-level monsters in this eternal night wasteland with her physical body alone.

……

In the Xuan Tian Realm, deep within the starry sky, the Black Dragon Imperial Chariot travels through the starry sky.

Lu Li heard the system notification sound in his mind again.

[Ding, successful protection, reward being calculated...]

[Reward: Special physique - a pair of double pupils, wish to fuse them?]

Upon hearing this reward, a strange light flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

Double pupils!

Since ancient times, the cultivation world has been circulated with the legend that "double pupils are the invincible path". This is not a simple pupil technique. In a sense, it represents the most extreme innate physique!

"Merge." Lu Li silently recited in his mind without any hesitation.

"Buzz—"

A mysterious and vast power of rules descended from nowhere, directly surging into Lu Li's eyes.

After a brief stinging sensation, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils underwent a strange change; two overlapping pupils appeared in his originally pure black eyes! Deep within his pupils, it seemed to contain the birth and death of the universe and stars, flowing with endless chaotic energy and Dao runes.

When Lu Li looked out at the starry sky through the imperial carriage again, the whole world appeared completely different in his eyes.

The once desolate and cold universe was now, in his eyes, woven from countless clearly visible lines of regularity.

The characteristic of double pupils is that they can see through the origin of everything in the world!

He can not only see through illusions and deceptions, but also directly see through the trajectory of the laws of heaven and earth, and even glimpse the trace of the Great Dao's origin hidden deep in the void!

"What a pair of double pupils." Lu Li felt the terrifying insight emanating from the eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Having these eyes will bring immeasurable benefits, whether it's seeing through the flaws in an enemy's techniques during combat or comprehending more profound laws of the Dao in the future.

This undoubtedly elevated his status as an emperor to a new level.

Meanwhile, the imperial chariot had already traversed the star field and was approaching the Eastern Wilderness.

On the vast Eastern Wilderness, there exists an ancient power that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years—the Primordial Holy Land.

This is the sect where Lu Li's old friend Gu Qingcheng resides.

And she is now the only quasi-emperor ancestor still alive in the Primordial Holy Land.

However, the Primordial Holy Land is shrouded in gloom today.

Outside the gates of the sacred land, three figures exuding overwhelming pressure suppressed the entire Primordial Sacred Land like three insurmountable demon gods.

These are three quasi-emperors in their prime, at the peak of their physical and mental strength!

They came from three other dominant forces in the Eastern Wilderness: the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Xiao Family of Longevity, and the Tianxuan Holy Land.

The three quasi-emperors were dressed in purple robes: the Purple Mansion Quasi-Emperor was surrounded by starlight, while the Xiao family patriarch, Xiao Zhantian, was clad in golden armor, exuding an aura of dominance.

The reason the three of them disregarded their status and came together was because they had all been defeated by Gu Qingcheng and had formed an irreconcilable deep-seated grudge.

Today, upon learning that Gu Qingcheng's lifespan was nearing its end and she was about to pass away, these three old foxes couldn't wait to join forces and come to pay their respects. Ostensibly, they were there to visit, but in reality, they wanted to test her strength and avenge their previous humiliation!

Besides these three high-ranking quasi-emperors, behind Xiao Zhantian stood a young man dressed in black robes with a resolute gaze.
