Holy Bone

Chapter 1931

The Ten-Faced Buddha and the Old Man of Li Huo were both top-tier powerhouses in the mortal realm.

It is an evergreen tree standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Both of them are people with high aspirations.

Although it is not yet clear how the headless Jin An, who was the first to enter the Silver-level Divine Ruins Divine Mine, managed to surpass them, it was naturally unacceptable for the two of them to see a junior overtake them.

Therefore, stimulated by the headless Jin'an's visualization of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, the Ten-Faced Buddha and the Old Man of Li Huo became somewhat bloodthirsty and began to disregard their own consumption, desperately charging into the Stone Pagoda Forest.

As a result, as the psionic upheaval intensified, the ancient beast and divine bird statues shed their stone skins and grew more flesh and blood, greatly increasing their combat power. They were no longer the same as when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, first arrived.

One can imagine the immense pressure faced by the Ten-Faced Buddha and the Old Man of Li Huo, who arrived late to the Stone Pagoda Forest and missed the best opportunity at the beginning, when they attempted to storm the Stone Pagoda Forest at that time.

It cannot be simply summarized as increasing the difficulty several times.

The two, whose progress was extremely slow, naturally did not look pleased.

As the saying goes, "Even Buddha has to fight for a stick of incense," and "Even a clay bodhisattva has some clay-like nature," let alone the Ten-Faced Buddha, who becomes more and more demonic with age. Even though he cultivates a state of Zen, he can hardly hide the gloomy expression on his face at this moment.

But at this very moment, the actions of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, once again stirred the emotions of the two.

The five demon gods, whose full forms were obscured and who appeared as five dazzling beams of light, once again unleashed a fierce and domineering attack on the earth that had torn open a fissure and the unstable, multicolored pillar of light. With this attack, the earth shook and the fissure widened, and more rocks carrying divine stones of extraordinary quality flew out.

Venturing into the deepest part, the Great Sage Bull Demon King, almost on par with the Great Wind Ferocious Bird, the Divine Pattern Clan, and the Crimson Dragon Clan, joined forces to vie for the divine stones—a feast that outsiders envied immensely. The divine stones here were all of the highest grade; their appearance alone far surpassed that of the divine stones found elsewhere.

How could this not arouse envy and resentment from the late-arriving Ten-Faced Buddha and the Old Man of Li Huo?

Originally, they were also key players in this competition. If it weren't for the unexpected events that occurred along the way, and the repeated betrayals they suffered, they wouldn't have fallen so far behind.

The thought of being repeatedly betrayed and forced into a bitter struggle caused both of their spirits to flare up—one with fiery Buddha-like flames and the other with fiery demonic flames. This was a sign of intense mental activity, as both of them were cursing the mastermind behind their betrayal.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Bull Demon King, had no time to pay attention to the Ten-Faced Buddha or the Old Man of Li Huo; he was focused on vying for the divine stones that had been sent flying out.

It is said that the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.

In the Stone Pagoda Forest, he, along with the Great Wind Ferocious Bird, the Divine Pattern Clan, and the Crimson Dragon Clan, were closest to the crevice in the ground. Ninety-five percent of the divine stones that flew out were taken by these few people; even a windfall couldn't be more like this.

The other half was not lost due to accidental slips of the fingers, but rather because it was the worst quality.

Even the half-yield that was missed almost became the prize of the Golden Feather Clan's experts.

In the end, the number of divine stones that actually manage to fly to the outer edge of the Stone Pagoda Forest is so small as to be negligible.

They set off earliest but arrived latest, gaining nothing in return. Not to mention the grim faces of the Ten-Faced Buddha and the Old Man of Li Huo, anyone would feel depressed and angry, not much better off than the two of them.
