Hand of the Heavens

Afterward, the Azure Emperor anxiously looked toward Lu Chen, who still had his eyes closed as he awakened his Supreme Bone.

"Chen'er, hurry up. If this drags on, something might change."

The Azure Emperor murmured to himself.

"Old Blood Demon, you've been hiding like a turtle retracting its head for thousands of years. I've finally seen your true form. That wasn't easy."

On the terrifying battlefield high in the sky, the Eastern Cang Holy Lord, dressed in green, was locked in battle with the Blood Demon Venerable.

Every time they clashed, the violent force tore open spatial rifts around them, revealing the black void within the void.

"Hmph. For the sake of the Supreme Bone, it's worth taking a gamble. Old slick, you should know that you and that pretty boy are absolutely no match for Su Baibai and me. Leave while you can. I'll take the Supreme Bone and go."

The Blood Demon Venerable snorted coldly.

"What if it's the pretty boy and me against you alone?"

The Eastern Cang Holy Lord also snorted coldly.

"Hahahaha, how could that be? Do you know what price I had to pay to get that woman, Su Baibai, to come out of seclusion?"

The Blood Demon Venerable could not help laughing loudly.

Ying ying ying...

However, just as the four people above the heavens were locked in an intense battle—

Down below, in the imperial palace's Tianchen Hall,

a series of ying-ying cries rang out.

Upon hearing that voice, Su Baibai, who had been fighting the Guixu Holy Lord, suddenly froze.

Then, an excited expression appeared on her face.

"That's Jiu'er's voice. My Jiu'er, where are you!"

Su Baibai no longer cared about fighting the Guixu Holy Lord and hurried toward the source of the voice below.

Ying ying ying...

At that moment, a snow-white little fox excitedly rushed out of Tianchen Hall, its four tiny legs pattering rapidly toward Su Baibai.

"Jiu'er, it really is you! Your mother has finally found you, my child."

When she saw the little fox, Su Baibai was overwhelmed with excitement. In an instant, she appeared before Su Jiujiu and scooped her into her arms!

Ying ying ying...

The little fox lay in Su Baibai's embrace, crying ying ying ying as if she were saying something.

As Su Baibai listened to the little fox's cries, her brows relaxed. She raised her head and looked toward Lu Chen, who was awakening above the heavens.

"So this child has such a connection with you. Since that's the case, for the sake of the favor you've done my child, Blood Demon Venerable, I'm sorry!"

Su Baibai looked up at the Blood Demon Venerable.

Blood Demon Venerable: ???

"What? Su Baibai, how dare you go back on your word? You can't leave!"

Hearing Su Baibai's words, the Old Blood Demon went mad. An expression of terror appeared on his face as he shouted.

At that moment, the Guixu Holy Lord and the Eastern Cang Holy Lord simultaneously charged toward the Blood Demon Venerable.

"Old Blood Demon, you didn't see this coming, did you? Since you came here today, you're staying."

The Eastern Cang Holy Lord and the Guixu Holy Lord laughed with extraordinary arrogance.

Then, the two of them gleefully pressed the Blood Demon Venerable into the ground and beat him.

Facing their combined assault, the Blood Demon Venerable fought while fleeing.

However, the Guixu Holy Lord and the Eastern Cang Holy Lord clung to him relentlessly as they fought.

"Child, since that's the case, come back to the Sacred Demon Valley with me!"

At that moment, Su Baibai gently stroked the little fox's head.

Ying ying ying...

Upon hearing this, hesitation appeared on Su Jiujiu's face.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Chen, who was awakening his Supreme Bone. Her watery eyes revealed an expression of reluctance.

"Child, you haven't transformed yet, so you can't train in the outside world. Once you transform in the future, you can enter the world and train. Do you understand?"

Seeing the reluctance in Su Jiujiu's eyes, Su Baibai sighed inwardly. Then, she reached out and gently stroked the little fox's head.

Ying ying ying...

The little fox slowly nodded. However, her watery eyes remained fixed on Lu Chen, as if she wanted to etch his appearance into her heart forever.

Then, Su Baibai disappeared from the spot with the little fox in her arms.

Not far away, the Azure Emperor saw Su Baibai and the little fox just now, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

He was finding his son more and more impossible to see through.

He never would have imagined that a little fox his son had casually raised would actually be the daughter of Su Baibai, the Demon Saint of the Sacred Demon Forbidden Zone—one of the two great forbidden zones.

Bang bang bang...

"Ahhh..."

"Pretty boy, old freak, you can't kill me! Even if you kill me now, there will still be countless more of me. When that time comes, I'll definitely make the two of you pay the price."

At that moment, the Blood Demon Venerable was fighting the Guixu Holy Lord and the Eastern Cang Holy Lord two against one!

The Blood Demon Venerable was in an especially wretched state. His entire body was drenched in blood and covered in wounds.

"Hmph. I've never been afraid of threats. We'll talk about the future when it comes. For now, I'll kill the you standing before me."

The Eastern Cang Holy Lord snorted coldly.

Then, behind the Blood Demon Venerable, a green vine flew toward him at incredible speed, resembling a true dragon.

Above the Guixu Holy Lord's head hovered a nine-colored Gui Xu Sacred Bell, radiating a terrifying aura.

Working together with the Eastern Cang Holy Lord, the Guixu Holy Lord's Gui Xu Sacred Bell flew above the Blood Demon Venerable's head and firmly suppressed him.

Pfft...

Then, with a sharp pfft, the true-dragon vine pierced straight through the Blood Demon Venerable's chest.

It then began frenziedly devouring the Blood Demon Venerable's blood.

"Ahhh..."

The Blood Demon Venerable let out a shriek and instantly turned into a dried corpse!

"Just wait for me, you two. I'll definitely return."

The Blood Demon Venerable's furious voice rang out across the heavens.

At that moment, down below, Lu Chen, who had been awakening his Supreme Bone all this time, suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, Lu Chen's breastbone suddenly erupted with terrifying pressure.

It seemed to suppress the entire world until heaven and earth trembled.

Lu Chen's Double Pupils also glimmered thoughtfully.

"Everyone says that the Supreme Bone and Double Pupils are equally renowned, but in reality, the Supreme Bone is somewhat stronger than the Double Pupils."

Lu Chen murmured to himself.

After awakening the Supreme Bone, he understood the power it had brought him.

The most obvious benefit was that the Supreme Bone had granted him a terrifying divine ability.

Hand of the Heavens!

As its name implied, it borrowed the power of heaven and earth to unleash an ultimate strike.

Moreover, the Hand of the Heavens could continuously grow stronger as Lu Chen's strength increased.

Besides that, the Supreme Bone could heal his injuries and increase his defense.

This ability overlapped somewhat with certain abilities of the Double Pupils.

However, if the two were used together, they could produce the miraculous effect of one plus one being greater than two.

What excited Lu Chen the most, though, was that he could use the Supreme Runes on the Supreme Bone to evolve a clone of himself.

This clone possessed all of his strength except for the Supreme Bone.

Furthermore, this rune clone could exist for a long time. In other words, whenever he fought someone, it would be equivalent to two of him fighting the enemy at the same time.

Such an heaven-defying divine ability was truly terrifying.

Lu Chen let out a long breath. However, just then, golden light flickered from his breastbone, and Lu Chen himself froze.

After remaining silent for a long while, a complicated and shocked expression appeared in Lu Chen's eyes.
