Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Luo Chen frowned.

A chill flashed in his eyes as he watched the Demon Suppression Division captain across from him step by step descend into demonic possession.

Golden scales streaked through the air, and golden and silver qi instantly slashed out.

"No!" Li Tiankui was stunned.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"罡劲? How could that be? Even if you possess martial bones, it shouldn't be possible!"

He roared in defiance, for once he broke through the Xuanqiao (mysterious aperture) barrier, there was no longer any possibility of stripping away his martial bones.

After the roar came endless rage.

The long sword in his hand stirred up gusts of wind, and in an instant, sand and stones flew, and trees felled.

boom!

The two streams of energy collided and intersected in mid-air.

Under Li Tiankui's astonished gaze.

That golden and silver energy instantly annihilated his own internal energy, disappearing without a trace.

The Yin-Yang True Qi continued its unabated momentum, carrying an indomitable sharpness as it pierced through Li Tiankui's massive body.

Ah!

Li Tiankui slowly lowered his head, and his body split in two.

"you……"

[Slay Li Tiankui, a cultivator at the Profound Aperture Realm, and plunder 48 years of his lifespan!]

"Human warriors in the early stages really do have long lifespans."

Luo Chen looked at the lifespan provided by a martial artist at the Profound Aperture Realm, and found that it was less than that provided by a single Rank 1 demon.

I wasn't too disappointed, since I already knew that beforehand.

For a moment, I was just filled with some emotions.

"What a pity. He entered the 108th stage of the Mysterious Aperture Realm around the age of fifty and became a second-rank Demon Suppression Captain. He had a very promising future."

Luo Chen looked at the corpse with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Come out, do you want me to cut you again?"

He said something indifferent to the corpse.

corpse...

Luo Chen raised the golden scale in his hand again.

Suddenly,

A voice filled with panic and fear rang out in the dense forest.

The corpse, which had been split in two, began to slowly heal and then stood up unsteadily.

"Li Tiankui" should now be the Skin Refining Demon, after it stood up.

In the blink of an eye, he knelt down with a thud.

He cried out.

"My lord, my lord, please spare this little demon!"

"You know, I was forced into this by this bastard!"

"A young prodigy like you, so talented and valiant... is the kind of person I choose to follow."

"You...you can't kill me..."

Finally, the Skin-Refining Demon slowly lowered its head, as if in submission.

Luo Chen smiled, but his smile was somewhat cold.

But he still had some questions to ask, so he patiently asked them.

What happened deep within the Tianduan Mountains?

The skin-refining demon's eyes darted around, and it spoke in a trembling voice.

"My lord, that Great Sage of White Bones has forged a divine weapon, the White Bone Banner! It seems that he has trapped Shangguan Changyue by now."

But Shangguan Changyue was not one to be trifled with, and the two were still fighting.

The skin-refining demon glanced cautiously at Luo Chen, and seeing that he had no reaction, he gritted his teeth and said.

"I've heard that the White Bone Banner is extraordinary; it's a true divine weapon, possessing the ability to control the souls and demons of the dead."

With one soldier in hand, one becomes an army; moreover, one can draw upon the power of ten thousand demons within the banner to empower oneself.

"Such a divine artifact should belong to you, sir."

The skin-refining demon said in a fawning tone.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with a chill. Opposite him was a burly man, two meters tall, kneeling on the ground with a fawning smile on his face.

That really spoils the mood.

"Is this your true form?"

Luo Chen looked at the Skin-Refining Demon kneeling on the ground with a half-smile.

The skin-refining demon's expression changed, and it let out a strange cry.

not far away,

The two "pupae" that had fallen to the ground instantly detached and pressed down on Luo Chen from above, blotting out the sky.

Taking advantage of this brief disruption, the Skin-Refining Demon swiftly fled into the distance.

pity.

It still underestimated Luo Chen's current strength.

The blade of the Golden Scale Blade unleashed an intensely powerful and yang aura, which instantly slashed out and, upon contact with the demonic skin in the sky, was enveloped by boundless heat and turned to ashes.

"No!"

The skin-refining demon turned around, and was immediately terrified.

But it was too late.

The Yin-Yang True Qi pierced through, and within a radius of 100 meters, countless True Qi began to obliterate everything without any blind spots.

Luo Chen looked at the dim, illusory divine springs within his body, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.

It only stopped when the area within a hundred meters in front of it turned into nothingness.

[Slay the Demon with the Twenty-Four Apertures and steal 280 years of his lifespan!]

Lifespan: 17/928.

"That attack took a lot of energy!"

Luo Chen looked at the dozens of dimmed apertures, his eyes filled with thought.

Fortunately, the defining characteristic of the "Great Sun Divine Spring Secret Manual" is its continuous generation.

Watching the illusory image of the divine spring slowly flow its essence back into the dim Xuanqiao (mysterious aperture).

Luo Chen approached the two Demon Suppression Captains who were lying unconscious to the side.

He reached out and examined it.

"He didn't die, but it's hard to say whether he's suffered any psychological trauma."

Luo Chen carried the two of them to lie down under the tree.

The figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Half an hour later.

A hurried figure finally arrived late.

Yue Wuchang watched the horrific battlefield with a pounding heart.

One of the groves looked as if it had been hollowed out by a claw, leaving it completely empty.

When he arrived in front of the two unconscious captains.

Overjoyed, he quickly went forward to check.

"Are you two alright, sirs?"

The two unconscious captains slowly awoke, glanced at Yue Wuchang, and looked on with confusion.

Once they figure out what happened...

All three of them looked confused and puzzled.

"It might be a backup plan left by Lord Souji."

"The commander-in-chief is wise."

"The commander-in-chief should have already noticed Li Tiankui's betrayal."

The three of them looked towards the depths of Tianduan Mountain.

The worry in their eyes lessened, replaced by more admiration.

……

At the summit of Tianduan Mountain!

The mountaintop, which originally pierced the clouds, looked as if half of the mountain had been forcibly cleaved off by a sword.

In mid-air.

Shangguan Changyue's hair flew wildly, her expression was aloof, and she held the Cold Moon Longsword in her hand, looking down at the skeletal giant sitting on the throne of bones.

On the throne.

Emerald flames flickered in the eyes of the Great Sage of White Bones.

With each opening and closing of his jaw, a deep, resonant voice reverberated out.

"White Bone Flag, come out!"

boom!

The flames of the bronze censer surged, and the top of the censer shot into the sky.

A pale white banner of bones floated in mid-air.

it's dark!

Endless demonic resentment erupted continuously, obscuring the sky.

The entire Tianduan Mountain was shrouded in the resentment of demons.

Accompanied by wailing sounds, one after another, black, wronged souls burst forth from the white bone banner.

They were filled with resentment, anger, and despair... and finally transformed into demonic spirits, bound and refined by the White Bone Banner, to be used by humans!

Shangguan Changyue frowned.

This area seemed to have transformed into the domain of the White Bone Banner, within which even the Qi circulating within it slowed down somewhat.

But she still didn't move, quietly watching the Great Sage of White Bones below.

The wronged spirits around her only cried out.

For a moment, a delicate balance was formed between the two, creating a tense atmosphere.

Until the White Bone Great Sage couldn't hold back any longer.

With each step it took, its bones grew stronger, and with the ninth step it took, it landed.

A gigantic skeleton, fifty meters tall, appeared between heaven and earth.

The skeleton no longer resembles human bones, but rather appears to be a composite of many biological skeletons.
