Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 230 The Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace

The aged figure slowly raised his head. His withered face appeared somewhat terrifying in the light. The ghostly fire in his eyes flickered slightly, and a hoarse, chilling voice quietly rang out: "Young man, although I don't know who you are, since you've come to my door of your own accord, then this old man has no choice but to take your life for now!"

"Who will take over whom is still unknown!"

Long Yan smiled. With his current eyesight, he could naturally see the strength of this Great Celestial Venerable. He was a mid-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng, an ant that could be easily destroyed. It was just a pity that Hun Miesheng was not here.

Even if Hun Miesheng were alive, Long Yan did not intend to kill him now. After all, the Soul Palace was extremely important to the Soul Emperor, and Long Yan did not want to lure the Soul Emperor out.

"Brother, why waste words with this junior? Kill him, extract his soul, hehe, the soul of a Dou Sheng expert is worth more than the souls our branch hall has collected for nearly a hundred years!"

The Bone Nether Saint's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Anyone who dared to attack the Soul Palace would have to pay a heavy price!

Gu You, however, did not show much fear. This was their home ground, and his combat power could be greatly enhanced. He pressed down with both palms, and a monstrous black aura surged out from his body.

The massive chains surrounding the great hall trembled violently at this moment, and streams of black energy surged out, eventually flowing into its body.

Black energy surged forth, and Gu You, like a demon god descending to earth, roared to the sky. With a clanging sound, countless black chains, accompanied by shrill screams, swept towards Long Yan from within the black mist.

The sheer force of the attack was terrifying. Seeing this, Long Yan smiled faintly and did not back down. His fighting spirit surged, transforming into a bolt of lightning, and he directly clashed with Gu You.

In the blink of an eye, Gu You was crushed by Long Yan's battle qi. If a mere half-saint cannot kill a seven-star Dou Sheng instantly, then Long Yan might as well surrender to the Soul Clan sooner rather than later.

The Great Celestial Venerable's expression turned slightly cold, and he suddenly formed a hand seal in his sleeve.

"Hiss!"

As soon as the hand seal was completed, the space around Long Yan rippled, and then many white shadows flashed into his eyes. He saw that the surrounding void space suddenly transformed into countless sharp white bones, which shot towards him with lightning speed.

"A little trick."

Faced with the lightning-fast attack of the bone spikes, Long Yan smiled, waved his sleeve, and a powerful flame erupted from his body. The terrifying temperature melted away the bone spikes almost instantly.

"Bone Emperor Splits the Heavens!"

Just as the bone spurs dissipated, the Great Celestial Venerable's unusually cold low roar suddenly rang out. Immediately, the space above Long Yan's head rippled rapidly, and a huge bone blade, exuding a strange aura, tore through the void and slashed down at Long Yan from afar.

"call out!"

As the strange bone knife swung down, a peculiar wave immediately spread out, rushing towards Long Yan with lightning speed.

"Soul attack, as expected of the Soul Clan."

Sensing the strange fluctuations, Long Yan was slightly startled. He hadn't expected that this Great Celestial Venerable would actually know how to use soul attacks. His soul power was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, but the attacks he unleashed were something that ordinary one-star Dou Sheng could not withstand at all.

Unfortunately for him, when it comes to the clash of soul power, Long Yan has never been afraid of anyone!

"broken!"

Long Yan clenched his fists, his expression calm, and threw a punch. This punch had no fancy moves or fluctuations of battle aura. However, as he threw it, the soul power between Long Yan's eyebrows also surged out!

"boom!"

An invisible spiritual fist wind burst forth from Long Yan's palm, clashing with the bone knife's energy in mid-air and instantly annihilating it.

Seeing that the soul fluctuations were easily shattered by Long Yan, the Great Celestial Venerable flashed and appeared in the sky below the massive bone blade, which was a hundred feet in size. Black mist surged from his palm, transforming into a giant hand that directly grabbed the hilt of the blade.

With a cold shout, the bone blade tore through space and instantly reached the top of Long Yan's head, carrying an extremely terrifying and sharp aura as it slashed down!

"Young man, this bone blade of mine was forged from the bones of ten thousand people. Countless souls have been sacrificed to it. Anyone whose blade's aura touches their body will suffer the torment of being devoured by those ten thousand souls!"

The Great Celestial Venerable held the bone knife slightly horizontally, and said in a sinister tone, "Today, I will use it to take your life, which is a favor to you!"

The Great Celestial Venerable smiled sinisterly, and the black energy within his body surged forth, transforming into countless ferocious-looking souls that screamed shrilly as they continuously rushed into the bone blade. As these numerous souls poured in, traces of crimson gradually appeared on the bone blade's amber surface, resembling dark bloodstains.

"Soul Annihilation Slash!"

As the strange bloodstains appeared on the bone blade, a solemn expression appeared on the Great Celestial Venerable's face. He suddenly swung his hand, and the huge bone blade slashed down fiercely at Long Yan.

"Break it!"

A flush appeared on the Great Celestial Venerable's face. Wherever the bone blade passed, space collapsed, and the ground thousands of feet below was carved out with a deep ravine hundreds of feet long.

"One finger to the Yellow Springs, and life or death are decided!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Long Yan flicked his finger, and a huge finger imprint descended from the sky, carrying a dense aura of deathly stillness from the Netherworld. In the end, it collided fiercely with the huge bone knife without giving way.

"clang!"

At the moment of impact, a deafening roar erupted in the sealed space, and a raging energy storm swept outwards, causing the black palace to collapse instantly.

"clang!"

Terrifying energy fluctuations swept wildly across the sky, even causing the spatial barrier covering this area to ripple violently, with faint cracks spreading out.

"Bang!"

In the sky, at the confluence of energy storms, the storm trembled violently, and a huge bone blade was shot out from the storm, landing heavily on a mountain peak. The terrifying force instantly shattered the mountain peak into ruins, and the bone blade lay powerless among the rubble.

At the same time, thanks to Long Yan's mercy, the Great Celestial Venerable did not die instantly like the Bone Nether Saint.

The Great Celestial Venerable let out a strange laugh like that of a night owl, clenched his hand towards the ruins below, and a huge bone blade flew out, hovering in front of him. With a swift movement, he stood directly on the bone blade.

Immediately, ripples appeared on the bone blade, and the Great Celestial Venerable's body slowly merged into the bone blade.

"Youngster, I have cultivated for hundreds of years to finally fuse my body with the Bone Emperor Blade. Today is the first time I will use it in battle, so I will use you as a sacrifice for the blade!"
