Rumble...
At this moment, Lu Chen wore a look of confusion.
He was still so young, adorable, innocent, and well-behaved. He had never done anything bad.
Why should he be struck by lightning?
Was Lu Chen some heinous criminal?
However, no matter how much Lu Chen struggled inwardly, the rumbling continued.
The thunder in the sky came crashing down onto Lu Chen.
"Ah..."
The thunderous pain made Lu Chen throw his head back and howl.
Yet at that very moment, a dazzling, terrifying golden light suddenly burst from Lu Chen's chest.
As the golden light flared, Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord, who stood before Lu Chen, narrowed their eyes. Almost instinctively, they retreated two steps and fixed their gazes on Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen rose uncontrollably into the air. The flesh around his chest turned transparent, revealing the outline of his breastbone.
Yet now, that outline radiated a dazzling golden light.
At the same time, Lu Chen's entire body emanated an aura of supreme majesty.
Paired with his Double Pupils,
Lu Chen seemed like a heavenly god suspended in midair.
Faced with this phenomenon surrounding Lu Chen, everyone present stood there dumbfounded.
Yet among them, three were the most shaken.
They were Azure Emperor, Guixu Holy Lord, and Eastern Cang Holy Lord.
"This aura, this golden breastbone... Could this be the legendary supreme physique, the Supreme Bone that stands alongside the Double Pupils?"
Azure Emperor muttered to himself, disbelief written across his face.
"Double Pupils, Supreme Bone, Supreme Sword Body, Nine-Colored Spirit Root... So many terrifying talents have gathered in one person. In all the countless years of the Eastern Cang Region, this has never happened before. This child must have been born bearing the will of Heaven and Earth. In the future, Heaven and Earth will surely descend into chaos!"
Eastern Cang Holy Lord stared blankly at Lu Chen and muttered to himself.
Beside him, Guixu Holy Lord slowly clenched his fists, a complicated expression appearing on his face.
Then, the two Holy Lords exchanged a glance, and both saw the terrifying implications in each other's eyes.
If Lu Chen's earlier talents had only left them incomparably shaken,
then the appearance of the Supreme Bone made them feel fear. At the same time, a look of relief appeared in their eyes.
"Fortunately, he rejected joining my Eastern Cang Holy Land. Otherwise, as the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth nurtured by the destiny of Heaven and Earth, endless slaughter and boundless karma would surely follow him. If my Guixu Holy Land accepted such a monster, we would inevitably bear the karma and destiny of this terrifying prodigy. By then, Guixu Holy Land might even be destroyed outright because it could not withstand the immense karma brought by this child!"
Guixu Holy Lord let out a sigh of relief and spoke.
Beside him, Eastern Cang Holy Lord gave a disdainful laugh upon hearing this.
"If this child said he wanted to join your Guixu Holy Land right now, would you accept him?"
"Accept him!"
Guixu Holy Lord answered immediately.
Although accepting this child would bring a great terror,
great terror would also inevitably come with great opportunity.
Because of Lu Chen's existence, Guixu Holy Land might leap straight into a terrifying force surpassing the Four Great Regions of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord watched Lu Chen awaken his Supreme Bone. They narrowed their eyes, deep in thought, then stood vigilantly on either side of him.
They clearly intended to protect Lu Chen while he cultivated.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
However, at that very moment, the entire world suddenly changed color.
On the firmament, endless blood qi and demonic qi suddenly appeared.
In an instant, half of the territory of the Great Qian Divine Dynasty seemed to transform into a realm of ghosts, terrifying beyond measure.
The entire Great Qian Divine Dynasty was suppressed by an oppressive, terrifying aura.
At the very center of this terrifying power—the imperial capital—
after the sky turned a horrifying red and black,
the citizens of the imperial capital felt an existence of terror descending.
They trembled all over, and some even collapsed to the ground with a thump.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord sensed the phenomenon in Heaven and Earth. They were not surprised. Instead, they abruptly raised their heads and looked toward the firmament.
"Old Blood Demon, since you're here, stop hiding your head and showing your tail. Don't act like a blood rat!"
Guixu Holy Lord snorted coldly.
"Hehehe, the Supreme Bone has actually appeared. When the Double Pupils emerged, I had not yet intended to act. But now that the Supreme Bone has appeared, I cannot remain indifferent. The Supreme Bone... I will dig it out of this boy and fuse it into my own body. Then, I will surely become the most supreme existence!"
At that moment, amid the black clouds above, red demonic qi gathered into a terrifying demonic face a thousand meters long.
The demonic face slowly opened its mouth. Its voice was vast and hoarse, while its two red eyes resembled twin moons, terrifying beyond compare.
"Old Blood Demon, we are protecting this child. Do you think that with just you alone, you can seize the Supreme Bone from the two of us?"
Eastern Cang Holy Lord snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Hehehe, who said I came alone? My dear sister, come out!"
Above the firmament, the terrifying ghost face could not help but let out a sinister laugh upon hearing this.
Then, the terrifying ghost face slowly opened its mouth. In the next moment, Guixu Holy Lord and Eastern Cang Holy Lord's expressions changed drastically when they heard its words.
To the north, a white radiance suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Then, an exceedingly bewitching woman appeared above the firmament. She wore a white sable coat, while an incomparably mysterious red sigil between her brows added a touch of allure to her beauty.
Most importantly, nine fox tails swayed gently behind her, lending her an additional touch of otherworldliness.
"The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint of the Sacred Demon Forbidden Zone."
Eastern Cang Holy Lord's expression changed when he saw her, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
"Su Baibai, you actually joined forces with Old Blood Demon of the Blood Demon Abyss. Aren't you afraid he'll devour you whole?"
Guixu Holy Lord frowned slightly as he looked at the woman in the sky.
"It's only a temporary alliance. He offered me terms I could not refuse."
Su Baibai of the Sacred Demon Forbidden Zone shook her head. Her alluring eyes gazed at Lu Chen, and a look of surprise appeared within them.
"Hehehe, enough chatter. Attack!"
At this moment, the terrifying ghost face above the firmament suddenly condensed into a terrifying figure clad in a black cloak.
It was none other than Blood Demon Venerable, the Devil Master of the Blood Demon Abyss, one of the two forbidden zones of the Eastern Cang Region!
Blood Demon Venerable let out a sinister laugh, then charged toward Eastern Cang Holy Lord with terrifying demonic might.
Beside him, Nine-Tailed Demon Saint Su Baibai of the Sacred Demon Forbidden Zone charged toward Guixu Holy Lord.
Seeing this, Eastern Cang Holy Lord and Guixu Holy Lord shot straight into the sky and battled Su Baibai and Blood Demon Venerable.
The battle between the Holy Lords of the two Holy Lands and the supremes of the two forbidden zones took place high above the firmament.
Yet even though the battlefield was in the sky,
the terrifying pressure that erupted from the battle still made the weaker people below cough up mouthfuls of blood, one after another, their faces pale.
Even Azure Emperor, who was at the ninth heaven of the Celestial Realm, turned pale in the face of the battle above. Under the terrifying pressure, he involuntarily retreated half a step.
