Holy Bone

Chapter 1986 Returning to the Outside World, Great Demon Battle in the Underworld
If we were to say which faction among these groups was the most emotional, it would undoubtedly be the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Because of the good news from the Celestial Master's Mansion, everyone has already spoken about it.

How could the Celestial Master's Mansion not be incredibly excited?

To them, the people who came from that dazzling, foreign land were very likely the three elders of the Eight Views Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

This matter is enough to shake the Three Realms and cause a great uproar in the human world. It is very likely that from today onwards, the status of the Celestial Master's Mansion will rise to a higher level.

If the three of them—the Jiang family patriarch, the old man of Li Huo, and the Marquis of Po Jun—strive for excellence and reach even greater heights, then it won't just be the Jade Capital Golden Palace that reigns supreme; instead, it will be their Celestial Master's Mansion that takes the lead and commands all the heroes under heaven!

Just thinking about it now makes me incredibly excited. Everyone in the Celestial Master's Mansion is looking solemnly at the colorful and strange phenomenon.

At this moment, the eight great demons of the underworld, the great demon ape, and the mysterious humanoid god-demon all stood upright, abandoning their relaxed postures, and stared intently at the dazzling and colorful phenomenon.

Whenever someone comes out, these demons from the underworld decide to forcibly seize the treasure.

The fact that this extraordinary treasure has attracted the attention of so many powerful demons from the underworld is enough to show that it is no ordinary treasure and holds great allure for them. They are willing to risk their lives to wade into this murky water.

The Black Buddha Demon, the Nine-Headed Giant Demon, the Sky-Supporting Demon, the Dragon Centipede Demon, the Dragon Elephant Demon, the Human-Headed Tomb Guardian Demon, the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon, and the Bridegroom Demon have begun to stir.

The Black Buddha Demon transformed into the Four Heavenly Kings of the Buddhist Sect, surrounding the colorful and strange phenomena, which were the embodiment of the Five Evil Deeds.

The five evil deeds are greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt.

The Four Heavenly Kings are the King of Greed, the King of Anger, the King of Ignorance, and the King of Pride.

Doubt is suspicion and paranoia; it is a wicked thought planted in everyone's heart, deeply hidden in everyone's mind. Doubt is the obsession and evil thought in everyone's heart.

The nine-headed giant also split its form, transforming into nine enormous figures of underworld demons.

Then, the single eye on the enormous head stared intently at the dazzling spectacle, while a large swath of dark, malevolent mist enveloped its hand, and evil thoughts were stirring within it.

Judging from this stance, no matter who comes out, the nine-headed troll will kill them and forcefully seize the treasure.

Then came the tallest figure, the towering demon that seemed to reach the heavens, with a pair of vast, boundless hands that could cover the entire region. Powerful light flickered and burst forth with dazzling brilliance, heading towards the multicolored spectacle.

The great demons of the underworld, such as the Dragon Martial Demon and the Dragon Elephant Demon, also made strange movements, their eyes fixed on the colorful and unusual phenomena.

wow——

After a flurry of colorful and strange phenomena, one person finally stepped out.

"Wait a minute..."

"How could it be him!"

The crowd was stunned and collectively froze.

At that moment, many people felt as if they had been struck by a stick, dizzy and disoriented, staring blankly at the direction of the colorful and strange phenomenon, their faces filled with disbelief and utter horror.

"Why is it him!"

"Isn't he the weakest among those who entered, and the only one who didn't receive the Great Demonic Enlightenment of the Underworld?!"

"My surname isn't Chen! And this guy is the first one to come out!"

Boom!

A roar of surprise erupted from the crowd. Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the person who had emerged from the dazzling spectacle.

That one had no head, its neck was empty, and it wore a robe covered in blood!
That appearance was even more like a demon that was hated by both humans and ghosts than the demons of the underworld!
This image is exactly like the headless Jin An!

At this moment, everyone felt completely disoriented, as if a thousand ghosts were tearing at their hearts, and they showed expressions of disbelief and utter horror.

Among these people, the one with the most complicated and unpleasant expression was none other than the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Not long ago, they were still full of illusions. The three elders of the Eight Views Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion had many favorable conditions and were sure to be the most likely to win the rare treasure and the first to emerge from the colorful phenomenon... But now, the bloody reality is right in front of them, and the first one to emerge is "I am not surnamed Chen"!
The whereabouts and fate of the three elders of the Eight Views Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion remain unknown to this day.

How could this not leave the Celestial Master's Mansion with extremely complicated feelings, with a million words to express their grievances, only to find in the end that they had nowhere to confide in?

Because the surrounding area was filled with forces from various factions.

One must control one's temper.

They cannot vent their emotions freely.

They could only swallow their many emotions, even more so than if they had to swallow their anger.

Among these people, the most excited were Scholar Xun and the historian.

When Xun Xueshi, historians, and other veteran officials of the Kangding Kingdom, along with a group of headless old friends from Jin'an who possessed the spirit of the Wenqu Star, saw that the first person to emerge from the colorful spectacle was none other than their close friend "I am not surnamed Chen," they were all moved to tears.

Then they all burst into joyful laughter.

He was thrilled by the fact that the headless Jin'an was safe and sound, and by his overwhelming strength, and burst into laughter.

Even the Seven Fairies were relieved to see the headless Jin An emerge safely; they didn't even notice this subtle movement.

Otherwise, the Seven Fairies would secretly regret their own weakness, for worrying about the outspoken Taoist priest.

"As expected of our little fellow Daoist, hahaha. After this reunion, I must touch your headless neck. Even if you don't want me to touch it, I will still put aside my shamelessness and touch it."

"Just based on your strength, young fellow, your unparalleled power that is invincible to ten thousand people, touching you more will surely increase my luck and bring good fortune to this old man."

Scholar Xun and historian Zhong Fei were deeply moved and both said they wanted to touch the headless neck of the headless Jin An. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

When they first arrived at the Corpse Painting Cave and met the headless Jin An, they mentioned wanting to touch Jin An's headless neck.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to touch it.

Unexpectedly, the two still can't forget about this matter, and now they've brought up wanting to touch the headless neck of the headless Jin An.

Both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud because of their own words and actions.

……

The crowd a thousand feet away reacted in various ways, with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, while the great demon of the underworld on this side began to fight over the headless Jin An the moment he emerged.

Everyone wanted to take the headless Jin'an, so they were ruthless and showed no mercy.

Then, the Black Buddha Demon, the Nine-Headed Giant Demon, and the Sky-Supporting Demon showed no mercy, all unleashing their full power to grab at the headless Jin An.

The three great demons of the underworld didn't care whether the headless Jin'an lived or died; they only wanted to seize him.

Those who wander the underworld are as insignificant as ants in the eyes of these great demons of the underworld, easily slaughtered without a second thought. Next came the Dragon Centipede Demon, the Dragon Elephant Demon, the Human-Headed Tomb Guardian Beast Demon, and the Nine-Headed Serpent Demon, all following closely behind, grabbing at the headless Jin An.

The groom, Da Mo, was the slowest to arrive.

In reality, the attack speeds of these underworld demons were not significantly different; they attacked almost simultaneously. However, the Black Buddha Demon, the Nine-Headed Giant Demon, and the Sky-Supporting Demon were slightly faster.

The headless Jin An had long been prepared for this move by the demon from the underworld. As soon as he left the colorful alien land, he immediately activated the third transformation barrier-removing technique, found a substitute corpse, and swapped positions with himself.

This is the underworld.

Moreover, it had just recently experienced a major battle between several forces.

What they have in abundance are all kinds of human corpses.

He had just finished the replacement when the resurrected corpse, which had just "come back to life," was surrounded and killed by the demons of the underworld.

At this moment, the headless Jin An had already appeared a thousand feet away.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the towering demon, its figure the tallest and most majestic, like a pillar reaching to the heavens, turned around and immediately raised its massive, ancient hand to strike the spot where the headless Jin An had landed.

The Sky-Piercing Demon was incredibly tall.

A distance of a thousand feet is but a single step to it.

The headless Jin An activated the third transformation barrier-removing technique again, dodging another attack from the Sky-Supporting Demon.

Next, the headless Jin'an cast the third Transformation Barrier-Relief Technique, summoning one corpse after another to die in his place. By exchanging positions with the corpses, he gained temporary safety and protection.

The headless Jin Ansheng had absorbed the vital energy of many experts in the dazzling strange land thanks to his Devouring Heaven Divine Art. His Dao Qi was inexhaustible and abundant. If he had used the Seventy-Two Transformations so frequently under normal circumstances, his Dao Qi would have been exhausted and depleted long ago, leaving him with no choice but to be slaughtered.

After using the Barrier-Removing Technique eleven times in a row, the headless Jin An finally managed to temporarily distance himself from the pursuit of the Nine Yin Demons. Then, without hesitation, he flew towards the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon.

The great demons of the underworld have set up a barrier thousands of feet high, making escape hopeless. The only chance of survival now lies with the great demon ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon.

The headless Jin An was quite decisive. As soon as he joined up with the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon, he patted his stomach and took out the strange treasure that resembled the heart of an ancient god, and sent it out.

The Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid god-demon were also swift and efficient. They split the strange treasure, which was suspected to be the heart of an ancient god, in two, each swallowing half of it. After swallowing it, they began to launch a great counterattack against the eight great demons of the underworld in front of them.

This was a battle that was almost divine. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and wind, fire, thunder, rain and snow fell incessantly. Tens of thousands of pounds of flying stones crashed down, so that those masters of the underworld had nowhere to land and scattered everywhere to avoid the disaster falling from the sky.

As they scattered, they couldn't help but curse the demon of the underworld and the headless Jin'an.

The fact that Jin An, who is without a head, was scolded this time was entirely undeserved.

A great demon from the underworld appeared here to compete for a rare treasure, something even he hadn't expected, and he almost died here.

He finally found a way to survive and barely managed to live, yet he still suffers the scorn of the world. It is truly an injustice.

However, he had no chance to complain about these grievances for the time being, because the scope of the battle between the great demons in the underworld was too wide. He could only try his best to save his life in each of the third transformation barrier-removing spells.

This battle between ten great demons from the underworld was even more earth-shattering than the battle between the nine-headed giant demon and the great demon ape in the Sacred Land of No Life.

Everywhere you look, sand and stones fly, earth collapses and mountains crumble, and within the affected area, earth dragons soar into the sky, making it difficult to see anything; it's almost impossible to see anything beyond five fingers' width.

Therefore, no one knows for sure who won or lost this battle between the demons of the underworld; all that is known is that the battle is escalating and shows no sign of stopping.

Rumble!
Rumble!
All one could hear were endless explosions, each one more terrifying than a clap of thunder, making one's spirit tremble and causing dizziness and blurred vision.

The Nine Yin Demon's realm was too high. Even the explosion from the collision was more ferocious than thunder. Those Yin Primordial Spirits naturally could not withstand it. Their hearts trembled as if their hearts were pounding, and they were filled with anxiety.

Fortunately, the demon from the underworld was very powerful in battle and quickly broke through the barrier. Everyone was overjoyed and shouted that there was hope of returning to life. Then they scattered and rushed out immediately.

Everyone wants to stay as far away from the demons of the underworld as possible.

This naturally includes the headless Jin An.

The headless Jin An's realm has temporarily risen to the pseudo-fifth realm. He is the fastest in terms of escape speed, getting ahead of everyone else.

When passing by Scholar Xun, the historian, the Seven Fairies, and others, he didn't forget to casually scoop them up and continue flying away, trying to get as far away from the Great Demon of the Underworld as possible.

"Little fellow Taoist!"

"Haha, young fellow Daoist, you have truly amazed the world this time, opening our eyes to a whole new world!"

Scholar Xun and his companions laughed and chatted with the headless Jin An, not minding at all that the headless Jin An was taking them away.

This is called being happy, relaxed, and carefree.

It would be best if I didn't have to fly away myself.

As the headless Jin'an flew away, he greeted his old friends one by one, including the Seven Fairies.

After greeting him, the headless Jin An began to inquire about the situation in the underworld, asking if the great demons of the underworld had taken any special actions after he entered the colorful and strange land.
Soon, Scholar Xun and the others gave a general account of the situation in the underworld.

Perhaps due to the presence of the Great Demon Ape and the mysterious humanoid demon, coupled with the fact that the eight great demons of the underworld were not allies and each had their own defenses, making it impossible for them to act in unison, the headless Jin An did not make any significant moves after entering the colorful alien land.

Upon hearing this, the headless Jin An breathed a sigh of relief.

So good.

He didn't want any unusual activity from the underworld demons to delay his recovery.

When the headless Jin An proposed returning to the living world, the others, without exception, all agreed to go back immediately. They had been controlled by the demon of the underworld for too long, wasting a great deal of time; judging by the time, it was probably almost dawn outside.

People living in the mortal realm rarely walk in the underworld during the day.

It has some effect on the human body.

The purpose of the headless Jin An's flight this time was very simple: to head straight for the cave where the painted corpse cave was located.

The Corpse Painting Cave is not a physical object, but an alternate dimension. He plans to enter the Corpse Painting Cave to avoid trouble for the time being, and then leave on a white paper boat after the Great Demon of the Underworld has left.

The underworld is practically infinite in size.

This place is even further and further away from Kangding.

To leave this place and return to Kangding, the only option is to travel on those white paper boats.

Now, the great demon of the underworld has become a calamity, and the battle is affecting everywhere. The great war is like a rolling storm, as if a demon god is destroying the world. Human life here has become as cheap as grass, and people can only hide to avoid danger for the time being.
