Within the ravine's fissure, deep inside the Power Aperture of Fang Gang's right arm, the phantom of the Dragon Elephant Furnace spun madly at an unprecedented speed!
The furnace mouth's suction surged wildly, devouring the final stream of pure decaying energy pouring from the Withered Bone Mark on his left shoulder like a black hole.
Sizzle—!
The mark flickered violently, its ghastly white light like a dying candle in the wind, wavering between brightness and darkness. At last, with a soft pop, it was completely extinguished!
The final icy torrent of energy was drawn into the furnace!
Boom—!!!
The furnace phantom suddenly shuddered, erupting with dazzling dark golden light!
Its form instantly solidified and expanded by a full circle!
Upon the furnace walls, the phantoms of a dragon and elephant became clearly visible, roaring toward the heavens!
A vast energy far purer and more substantial than before, containing the true intent of destruction and strength, surged back like a burst dam, washing through every limb and bone of Fang Gang's body!
Furnace solidity—breakthrough, qualitative transformation!
The bones throughout Fang Gang's body let out a deep hum, like jade and metal striking together!
The golden-red blood vitality around him shot skyward like smoke, faintly condensing into a blurred furnace phantom bearing a dragon and elephant on its back!
An incomparably tyrannical aura, as though it could suppress all eight desolations, spread outward with a crash!
Aperture Condensing Realm, middle stage! Breakthrough!
"It worked!" Fang Gang abruptly opened his eyes. Golden light shone from them almost tangibly, as though furnace phantoms rose and sank within!
He clenched his right fist, and his jade-like bones rang with a forceful dragon's cry that surged and roared through his flesh!
However, just as the ecstasy of his breakthrough and his sense of power reached their peak!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The entire mountain forest—no, the entire earth—began to shake violently! It was as though billions of massive beasts were turning over beneath the ground!
The sky's roiling dark-red clouds completely blotted out the sun, transforming into a frozen sea of blood!
Deep within the clouds, Elder Withered Bone's hunched figure appeared clearly, two ghostly green flames dancing with icy killing intent.
"Young one... the game... is over." His bone-grinding voice rang through heaven and earth, carrying the indifference of one ending all things.
As his words fell!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop—!
The ground for thousands of meters around them became like a punctured sieve!
Countless enormous bone claws, ghastly white and wreathed in dense decaying deathly energy, burst from the earth like bamboo shoots after rain!
They packed together in layer after layer, stretching as far as the eye could see!
In an instant, they completely surrounded the ravine where Fang Gang stood!
A sea of bones! A true sea of white bones!
These bone claws were not dead objects. They flailed, clawed, and tore at the air madly, producing piercing shrieks!
Every single bone claw radiated an aura no weaker than Grade A!
Even more terrifying, an invisible and dreadful domain that froze life and accelerated decay instantly enveloped the entire area with the arrival of the bone sea!
The air became thick as glue, while vitality was furiously drained away!
"Bone scraps gathering together?"
Standing at the center of the bone sea, Fang Gang felt the terrifying power of laws that nearly stripped away his flesh and decayed his bones. The furnace phantom around him fluctuated violently, and even the circulation of his blood vitality slowed.
Yet there was not the slightest fear in his eyes. Instead, an even fiercer, nearly crazed fire burned within them!
He stomped his right foot, and the ground exploded with a crash!
His body became a golden-red streak that tore through the decaying domain, charging straight toward the forest of bone claws that blotted out the sky!
"Perfect... I'll refine it all in one furnace!"
"Roar—!!!"
The bone sea seemed enraged. Countless ghastly white bone claws shrieked as they tore through space, shooting from every direction—from above and below—like a volley of ten thousand arrows toward that tiny golden-red figure!
They sought to tear apart and bury this ant that dared challenge the bone sea's majesty!
"World Shaking Dragon Fist—Hell Suppression!"
Fang Gang roared wildly, unleashing without reservation the power of his newly broken-through middle-stage Aperture Condensing Realm!
His right fist, covered in dark golden dragon scales, slammed forward!
Above his fist, the furnace phantom carrying a dragon and elephant instantly solidified and enlarged!
Boom!!!
A massive fist force in the form of a Dragon Elephant Furnace, condensed from pure dark golden blood vitality and furnace true fire, crashed viciously into the forest of bone claws before him with the domineering will to suppress hell and burn away the eight desolations!
Crack crack crack crack—!!!
It tore through them like rotten wood!
The instant countless ghastly white bone claws touched the fist force, they snapped and shattered inch by inch like brittle dead branches!
The deathly energy containing the laws of decay was furiously burned and purified by the supremely yang true fire!
Wherever the fist force passed, it forcibly plowed a vacuum passage blazing with golden-red flames through the airtight forest of bone claws!
But there were simply too many bone claws! They were endless!
The gaps were filled in an instant!
Even more enormous and sturdy bone claws, wrapped in dense black qi like pillars supporting the heavens, smashed down from above and from his sides with terrifying force capable of crushing mountains!
"Get lost!" Fang Gang's left palm flashed, unleashing the Great Sun Incinerating Demon Palm at perfected mastery!
Round after round of scorching golden-red suns exploded around him, burning the grasping bone claws to ash!
His right fist did not stop. The Dragon Elephant Furnace fist force was like a siege hammer, smashing apart the walls of bone blocking his path time and again!
Like a humanoid ferocious beast, he charged violently through the bone sea!
Every step he took shook the earth and mountains; every punch he threw sent bone fragments flying!
His body, covered in dark golden dragon scales, withstood the clawing and chopping of countless bone claws head-on, producing ear-piercing metallic clangs as sparks flew everywhere!
The jade bones forged by the furnace clashed head-on against the laws of decay!
Yet the bone sea was boundless!
Elder Withered Bone stood atop the blood clouds and lightly tapped his Myriad Bone Wailing Staff.
Within the bone sea, countless shattered white bones rapidly gathered and reassembled!
One enormous bone beast after another, formed from tens of thousands of white bones and as huge as hills, rose from the ground, radiating terrifying SS-Class fluctuations!
Ghostly green soul flames burned in their eye sockets. Opening their giant maws, they spewed torrents of ghastly white bone breath capable of corroding space itself!
The true killing move descended!
Several torrents of ghastly white bone breath, like world-destroying beams, sealed off every route of escape for Fang Gang and struck him viciously with the power of laws that decayed all things!
Boom—!!!
The golden-red blood vitality barrier fluctuated violently and instantly dimmed!
The bone breath containing the laws of decay frantically eroded the furnace phantom!
The dark golden dragon scales on Fang Gang's body let out groans of unbearable strain, while piercingly cold agony shot through his jade bones!
His charging body was forcibly brought to a halt, both feet sinking deep into the earth!
"Urgh—!" Fang Gang let out a pained growl, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The rule-infused breath of SS-Class bone beasts was terrifyingly powerful!
"Struggle... is futile... become... nourishment... for my bone sea..." Elder Withered Bone's icy voice sounded like a verdict.
"Nourishment?"
Fang Gang abruptly raised his head. Golden-red flames mixed with dark golden furnace light in his eyes, erupting with unprecedented madness. "Then let's see... whose teeth are better!"
He actually stopped trying to break out! Instead, he frantically poured all his power into the Power Aperture in his right arm!
"Furnace—Open!!!"
Roar—!!!
Deep within the Power Aperture, the Dragon Elephant Furnace phantom erupted with unprecedented brilliance!
The furnace mouth abruptly expanded to its limit, unleashing a terrifying suction force specifically targeting bones and death energy!
Its targets—the ghastly white torrents of bone breath frantically eroding his body, and the endless bone sea around him!
