Whether it was the Supreme Bone or the Twin Pupils, both were peak physiques seen only once in ten thousand years. This time, two had appeared at once, yet before they could display their might, Zhou Kuang had set his sights on them.
Although these two were the prodigies of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect and Violet Heaven Holy Land with the greatest hope of becoming emperors, once Zhou Kuang arrived in person, the two great sects dared not refuse.
If they refused, the two great sects would vanish completely. Zhou Kuang had displayed his tyranny of "those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish" to the fullest.
"Judging by the time, Father should be back soon, right?"
The next moment, heaven and earth roared, space shook, and an enormous spatial rift appeared above the Zhou Clan.
An overwhelmingly powerful aura poured wantonly between heaven and earth, as though announcing to everyone that its owner had returned.
A figure stepped out of the spatial rift. He had a square face and sharp eyes, his black hair whipping wildly in the wind. A tyrannical presence that commanded awe without anger naturally arose from him.
This man was the number one expert of the Azure World, the Zhou Clan Patriarch, the Savage Great Emperor Zhou Kuang!
After Zhou Kuang emerged came two Supremes, followed by ten Saint Kings, one hundred and eight Saints, and tens of thousands of Feather Ascension Realm experts!
Zhou Kuang swept his sharp gaze across the crowd, glanced at Ren Nishang, then looked toward Batian and Zi Shenxiao. "It seems This Emperor has arrived at just the right time!"
"You two, go make preparations. I will perform the operation myself shortly. Do not resist. Rest assured, it is merely a trivial little procedure. Your lives will be safe."
For the Savage Great Emperor to act personally showed just how much Zhou Kuang valued this matter!
Batian and Zi Shenxu's faces turned deathly pale in an instant, utterly bloodless.
A trivial little procedure?
Digging out their Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils was an insignificant little procedure to them?
Batian and Zi Shenxiao looked at each other. Though their lives would be spared, they would likely become cripples afterward. Yet they had no choice at all, and as though resigning themselves to fate, they followed the Zhou Clan elders away.
Weakness was the original sin!
When Ren Nishang was glanced at by Zhou Kuang, her delicate body trembled. Fortunately, her father had possessed the foresight to arrange a marriage alliance with the Zhou Clan long ago. She was now Zhou Qiongtian's fiancée.
Otherwise, given Zhou Kuang's tyranny, even her Icy Skin Jade Bone would likely have been forcibly extracted to forge a body for Zhou Qiongtian.
"Young Master, please allow us to bathe and dress you." Two women of exceptional figures and beauty slowly approached. What was more, these two women were actually Saint Realm experts!
A Saint Realm expert could establish a holy land outside, become its master, and rule over thousands. Yet in the Zhou Clan, they were merely Zhou Qiongtian's maidservants.
Ren Nishang's beautiful eyes widened, and she immediately hurried over. "There is no need for you two. I will take Young Master Zhou to bathe and change."
A flush rose on Ren Nishang's lovely face, utterly alluring, like a ripe peach that made people unable to resist taking a bite.
At this moment, two burly men approached. Looking down at the kneeling Batian and Zi Shenxiao, they grinned. "You two, we will take you to wash up as well."
Batian and Zi Shenxiao immediately turned ashen.
The Zhou Clan's bathing pool was no ordinary pool. Its water was entirely Spiritual Liquid, something countless cultivators yearned for, yet in the Zhou Clan, it was merely Zhou Qiongtian's bathwater.
Spiritual energy rose into mist above the Spiritual Liquid Pool. Spending one day here was more effective than cultivating bitterly outside for a month.
Soaking in the Spiritual Liquid Pool, Zhou Qiongtian felt warmth spreading through his entire body. He felt light and relaxed, as though every worry had been washed away by the Spiritual Liquid.
Taking this opportunity, he inspected his system. Though his background was invincible, he could not afford to become overly arrogant.
The system's main function was to plunder the destiny of Children of Destiny. Destiny was wondrous beyond measure. Those blessed with abundant destiny might stumble into an opportunity simply while walking down the street; conversely, those with weak destiny might choke to death while drinking water.
Children of Destiny were precisely those with abundant destiny. Destiny was divided into different colors and shapes according to its strength. For example, romantic fortune took the form of pink flowers.
Children of Destiny were difficult to kill and would always encounter all manner of unforeseen circumstances. This was destiny at work. Only by suppressing a Child of Destiny's destiny could one kill them. By suppressing and killing Children of Destiny, Zhou Qiongtian could obtain Destiny Points, which could be exchanged for System Shop items.
Zhou Qiongtian inspected the System Shop. All manner of goods dazzled the eye: Pangu's Essence Blood, Dao Principles, Emperor-grade Cultivation Methods, and more. There was nothing Zhou Qiongtian could not imagine, but all of them required massive amounts of Destiny Points.
Zhou Qiongtian saw that Divine Unknowing, Ghost Unperceived, and the Fortune Sensing Divine Ability each cost over a million Destiny Points. There were also Twin Pupils and the Supreme Bone. So long as he had enough Destiny Points, Zhou Qiongtian could replace every bone in his body with Supreme Bones.
The two great divine abilities, Divine Unknowing and Ghost Unperceived, were exceptionally powerful. First was their function; second was the fact that these two divine abilities required no Spiritual Power, automatically absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate.
The Fortune Sensing Divine Ability, meanwhile, required only a minuscule amount of Spiritual Power to activate.
Zhou Qiongtian immediately examined his own destiny. It surged like a rainbow, shooting straight into the heavens, displaying the immense strength of his destiny.
However, most of this powerful destiny came from the Zhou Clan and the system. Beneath Zhou Qiongtian's Fortune Pillar, a layer of black flames burned, emanating an ominous aura.
Black represented misfortune, and these black flames were gradually increasing, like borers gnawing away at Zhou Qiongtian's destiny. Though they gnawed slowly, Zhou Qiongtian could not ignore them.
"Qiong'er, are you ready? Rest assured, with your father handling this, there will absolutely be no problem!" Zhou Kuang said confidently.
Zhou Qiongtian nodded, indicating that he was ready.
"Excavate the bone!"
Zhou Kuang's eyes abruptly became incomparably sharp as he used the Great Divine Ability to extract Batian's Supreme Bone.
At once, Batian sweated profusely. The pain of having his bone extracted was worse than death, yet he did not even dare howl himself hoarse, only continuously groaning in muffled pain.
The Supreme Bone that had accompanied him for untold years was extracted. Batian's face had long since become white as paper, devoid of all color, and in the end, he fainted outright.
Then, Zhou Kuang used the Great Divine Ability to replace the ordinary bone within Zhou Qiongtian with the Supreme Bone. The bone replacement process should have been agonizing beyond measure, yet under Zhou Kuang's divine ability, Zhou Qiongtian instead felt utterly comfortable.
"Excavate the pupils!"
Without pausing in the slightest, Zhou Kuang directly extracted Zi Shenxiao's Twin Pupils and implanted them into Zhou Qiongtian's eyes. Zi Shenxiao ultimately fainted as well.
Zhou Qiongtian opened his eyes. His gaze now bore Twin Pupils, and he felt refreshed all over, as though he possessed inexhaustible strength.
Twin Pupils were already an invincible path; why borrow another's bone? Yet the more bones, the more paths.
Suddenly, heaven and earth changed. Countless thunderclouds gathered above the Zhou Clan, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles, with heavenly lightning rumbling within and thunderous roars filling the air.
"This is... a Heavenly Tribulation!"
The Zhou Clan elders were instantly shocked. When Batian and Zi Shenxiao were born, Heavenly Tribulation had descended upon the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect and Violet Heaven Holy Land, precisely because the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils were too heaven-defying.
Yet now, Zhou Qiongtian not only possessed Twin Pupils, but also a Supreme Bone. The might of this Heavenly Tribulation was far more terrifying than the combined Heavenly Tribulations that had struck the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect and Violet Heaven Holy Land!
