Demon Bone (Part Two)

Zhuge Xiang nodded in response to the White Bone Emperor's words without speaking. Zhuge Xiang knew the White Bone Emperor was right; if he wanted to win the championship in this Sacred War, he naturally needed to defeat all the powerful enemies.

The White Bone Emperor is merely one of my formidable enemies. If I cannot defeat him, what right do I have to compete for the championship in this Sacred War?

The White Bone Emperor, with his empty eye sockets, had his soul fire flickering constantly, his gaze fixed on Zhuge Xiang. The White Bone Emperor's perception of Zhuge Xiang's strength had undergone a tremendous change, from initial doubt to astonishment, and now to seriousness. Unbeknownst to him, the White Bone Emperor had come to believe that Zhuge Xiang's strength had risen to a level where he could defeat him.

"Since that's the case, I absolutely cannot be careless." Even though the White Bone Emperor had acknowledged his strength, which was a very gratifying thing, Zhuge Xiang also knew that at this moment, the White Bone Emperor, who was fighting with all his might, must be more terrifying than ever before. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang also mobilized all his thoughts and focused all his attention on the White Bone Emperor.

The White Bone Emperor made his move. Without any fancy moves, his skeletal hand, shaped like a claw, reached out to grab Zhuge Xiang with sharp claws.

However, this single claw brought an incredibly dangerous aura to Zhuge Xiang. In Zhuge Xiang's eyes, the milky-white, bony claw seemed to be magnified infinitely, and every trace of bone on the claw seemed to become incredibly clear.

"Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering!" Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Xiang's Dinghai Sea Calming Divine Needle transformed into a blur of shadows, sweeping towards the White Bone Emperor's claws. The aura it contained was equally terrifying. For Zhuge Xiang, this "Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering" technique, wielded with the Sea Calming Divine Needle as a weapon, was already his strongest power.

Bang!

The skeletal claws clashed once more with Zhuge Xiang's Sea Calming Divine Needle, but unlike the previous attack, this time there was no Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering event or the tremor of Sole Dominance Mountain. However, a jet-black shockwave spread like a tidal wave.

Everything touched by the shockwave, whether rocks or trees, was reduced to dust without exception. The power was terrifying. Even the powerful Asura Emperor scrambled to escape, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Again..." The battle had progressed to a point where it was no longer a test. Although Zhuge Xiang had forced him back, the skeletal White Bone True Body quickly pounced again. With a swipe of its skeletal claws, Hundred Zhang tall, the White Bone True Body seemed completely unaffected by its enormous size.

"Alright! Again!" Zhuge Xiang's Demon Body was also knocked back, but seeing the White Bone True Body rushing up, Zhuge Xiang also shouted and went to meet it. His face was full of fanaticism. This fierce battle with the White Bone Emperor also aroused Zhuge Xiang's Battle Will. This battle was exhilarating for Zhuge Xiang.

Zhuge Xiang has been cultivating for over a decade, and his current level of cultivation can almost entirely be attributed to battle. Battle Will? Even the most pacifist, after experiencing thousands of battles and emerging from mountains of corpses Blood Sea, will become a powerful warrior. How much more so for Zhuge Xiang? He has never been afraid of bloodshed since childhood.

The aura of the Asura Path inherently possesses an alluring and maddening fighting spirit. Combined with Zhuge Xiang's own fighting spirit, this fusion creates an indescribable effect. Although the battle with the White Bone Emperor appears to be evenly matched, both Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor are laughing heartily, their laughter filled with a sense of unbridled joy.

Zhuge Xiang laughed heartily, his laughter bold and unrestrained. Even though the White Bone Emperor was just a skeleton, his wide-open mouth and strange, cacophony laughter also gave people a sense of pleasure.

The battle between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, fought with all their might, was perilous, but this struggle, teetering on the edge of life and death, gave people a sense of boundless heroism.

Throughout Sole Dominance Mountain, all the powerful figures retreated far away. The aftershocks of the battle between the two powerful figures, each with a body Hundred Zhang, were still quite terrifying. However, watching the fight between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain all widened their eyes, their gazes filled with envy, excitement, and even longing.

The Asura Path filled with powerful individuals, all brimming with fighting spirit. It can be said that every member of the Asura Path is a true warrior. The battle between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor is fought with all their might, and their heroic demeanor seems to resonate with the Battle Will of the warriors on Sole Dominance Mountain breathe heavily, their blood boil, and they wish they could join this frenzied battle and enjoy the taste of combat.

"Good, what an intense battle! This is a real battle..." An Asura Emperor, breathing heavily, stared wide-eyed at the battle between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, and murmured.

Watching the epic battle between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, the Asura Emperor was so moved that he wished he could join in. His heart was pounding, and even his body trembled slightly.

"A battle of this caliber is truly spectacular." Even the Purple Emperor, watching the fight between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, found his breathing heavy, and the calm expression on his face vanished. Although he came from the Demon Realm, the Purple Emperor's current identity was that of the Asura Emperor, and his Battle Will was no less intense than anyone else's.

"Hehehe, these two guys are quite strong. Given time, they both have the chance to become Great Emperor..." Not to mention the Asura Emperor and the Asura Emperor, even several Great Emperor couldn't help but praise them as they watched the two fight with all their might and boundless passion.

In the Asura Path, battle and slaughter are the most sacred things. A battle as heroic as that between Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor is one that commands respect and admiration. It has nothing to do with strength. As long as one can devote oneself to the battle as selflessly as Zhuge Xiang and the White Bone Emperor, and fight with such heroic spirit, one can earn the respect of others.

"Hahaha, good. Even at the Asura King level, you have such strength. In the future, our Asura Path may produce an unparalleled expert..." In the midst of the battle, he was filled with heroic spirit. Even though he was his opponent, the White Bone Emperor did not harbor any hatred towards Zhuge Xiang. On the contrary, he seemed to appreciate him and praised him.

Zhuge Xiang already possesses such strength at the Asura King realm; what about when he reaches the Asura Emperor realm? Or even the Great Emperor realm? At that time, in the Three Realms, even when facing the likes of the Jade Emperor and Buddha, Zhuge Xiang would absolutely have the right to stand tall and speak with confidence, wouldn't he?

"Regardless of victory or defeat, both of them are undoubtedly strong in today's battle. The winner is certainly gratifying, but the loser, though defeated, is still honorable." Although the battle has not yet been decided, the Great Emperor who was presiding over the battle couldn't help but speak up. Such an intense, selfless, and heroic battle, the strongmen on Sole Dominance Mountain, and even the two of them, should never have a winner, so that he could continue to watch such an intense battle.

Thump thump thump...

Suddenly, the sound of drums resounded between heaven and Heaven and Earth. The source of the sound was unknown, but it was clearly heard by everyone. The deep, muffled drumbeats seemed to resonate deep within the soul. The tight and dense drumbeats were like those of an army in battle, filled with an atmosphere of grimness and war.

"Where is this drumming sound coming from?" In the midst of the battle, this mysterious and profound Profound Mysteries sound suddenly appeared. Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback. He listened carefully, but he couldn't hear where the drumming sound was coming from.

But soon, Zhuge Xiang stopped dwelling on that. The drumbeats were even more exhilarating, urging people to fight to the death. Who cared where they came from? It couldn't hurt, could it?

However, just because Zhuge Xiang didn't know what the rolling drumbeats were, didn't mean that others didn't know. As the drumbeats sounded, the White Bone Emperor's movements visibly paused.

However, Zhuge Xiang's attacks remained fierce, and the White Bone Emperor could only abandon the ripples caused by the sound of the drums, concentrate his mind, and wholeheartedly deal with the battle with Zhuge Xiang.

Because of Zhuge Xiang, the White Bone Emperor fought with all his might. Driven by the sound of the drums, the battle between the two became even more intense. However, the powerful figures on Sole Dominance Mountain were stunned when they heard the sound of the drums, and then screams of surprise rose and fell.

"Heavens! Heavenly Sound War Drum! Is this the legendary Heavenly Sound War Drum? I've known about it for a long time, but this is the first time I've actually heard it!" On Sole Dominance Mountain, an Asura Emperor couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing the drumming sound, his expression filled with excitement, clearly thrilled by the sound.

"The Heavenly Sound War Drum? I never expected that their battle could trigger the Heavenly Sound War Drum," the Purple Emperor said, listening to the intense and rapid drumming that made his blood boil. "It is said that only those who are fully committed to the battle can receive the response of the Asura Path Will and respond with the sound of the drum, which can greatly enhance their cultivation. Who is the one who triggered the Heavenly Sound War Drum? The White Bone Emperor? Or Zhuge Xiang? Or perhaps both of them triggered it at the same time?"

"The Heavenly Sound War Drum, the Asura Path Will, all true warriors use the sound of the drumbeat as encouragement. This sound, no matter how many times you hear it, makes you feel your blood boil..." Not to mention the Asura Emperor and the Asura Path, even the Great Emperor were excited when they heard the Heavenly Sound War Drum. The Great Emperor who was in charge of the battle exclaimed with joy on his face.
