Thousand Moons Same Sky!

"White Bone Giant Visualization Diagram!"

"As expected, its reputation was well deserved."

Shangguan Changyue spoke, her gaze drifting over the enormous skeleton.

At this moment, the White Bone Great Sage stood at least fifty meters tall.

Its skull resembled a human bone, while its spinal column extended all the way down, becoming a section of tailbone.

Its left hand was shaped like a dragon claw, while its right hand seemed to be clutching a White Bone Pearl.

"Heh!" The gigantic skeleton sneered.

Its dragon-claw bone tore through heaven and split the earth. With one palm strike, it shattered the mountain beneath it, then borrowed the recoil to leap high into the air, its terrifying body carrying an unparalleled shock.

All around, Demon Souls shrieked.

They charged in unison toward that proudly standing figure.

Shangguan Changyue's eyes turned cold. She raised the three-foot azure blade in her hand toward the sky.

Terrifying Sword Qi swept in every direction as endless cold condensed from the void.

Extreme Cold Sword Intent transformed into countless streaks of sword light, colliding with the swarming Demon Souls.

Shangguan Changyue took a step forward.

Divine Intent erupted. The sky behind her resembled a shattered mirror, reflecting hundreds and thousands of Cold Moons in different states.

The canopy of heaven was like shattered glass, every fragment reflecting a Cold Moon.

Some were round and full like silver plates, some slender as hooks, some chased by a heavenly hound, and some stained with ominous blood-red hues!

Though all of this was merely Spirit Reflecting Reality unleashed by Divine Intent,

the domain formed by the White Bone Banner began to fade and crumble. The White Bone Banner seemed to have suffered a tremendous blow, dense cracks spreading across its jade-white banner body.

This was the peerless Visualization Chart of Cold Moon Palace!

It was also a Martial Dao Divine Ability Inheritance.

In midair, the White Bone Giant that had leaped high was suppressed by an invisible force.

Rumble!

Its massive body crashed prone against the ground, its huge bones creaking under the pressure.

As if unable to bear it, the jade-white bones were overwhelmed by the burden.

The White Bone Giant slightly raised its skull and looked toward the heavens.

The green flames in its eye sockets dimmed somewhat.

Its divine ability had been broken. Its body slowly shrank, turning into an ordinary human skeleton.

Kneeling amid the ruined White Bone Cave, it spoke with an inexplicable sense of relief.

"I never expected the Last Disciple of Cold Moon Palace to comprehend this inheritance."

"What a pity. That old fellow will never get to see it."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The skeleton howled at the sky. Its spine shone, seeming to come alive as it transformed into a roaming dragon.

Its spine condensed into a Bone Sword, which pointed toward the heavens before slashing through the air.

This was the White Bone Great Sage's final strike.

As its spine departed, the bones across its body seemed to fall apart.

Only the faintly flickering ghostfire in its eye sockets gazed at the sky, flashing with unwillingness.

In life, it had been slain by the Palace Master of Cold Moon Palace.

After death, its resentment had refused to disperse, allowing it to live another life through the White Bone Giant Visualization Diagram.

Unfortunately, it had all ended in emptiness.

Shangguan Changyue showed not the slightest change in her eyes as she watched the Bone Sword shoot toward her.

When the Bone Sword came within thirty meters of her, it shattered again and again until only a section of blade remained.

The blade fragment did not slow. When it came within one meter of Shangguan Changyue, an invisible force crushed it into a bone needle.

Below, the flames within the white skull brightened for an instant.

In midair, the White Bone Banner, on the verge of shattering, unleashed its final might.

The White Bone Banner bloomed with ghostly radiance, sacrificing the power of every Demon Soul to fire a terrifying beam of Nether Light.

Shangguan Changyue's pupils contracted as she raised her sword to block.

But it was too late. The Nether Light and the White Bone Silver Needle close at hand erupted at once.

Caught completely off guard!

"Mmgh!"

Above the heavens, the phenomenon of Thousand Moons Same Sky began to dim and vanish.

Shangguan Changyue's body swayed precariously before she fell from midair in an instant.

The outskirts of Heavenly Severing Mountain.

Luo Chen hurried over. Looking at the region shrouded beneath a pitch-black sky, he hesitated over whether to keep advancing.

"What the hell? Is Divine Intent really this terrifying?"

Feeling the pressure coming from ahead, Luo Chen's gaze gradually turned solemn.

He knew of the Six Martial Realms.

The Divine Intent Realm was the dividing line.

But he had never imagined the gap would be this enormous.

Were they even cultivating the same Martial Dao?!

Luo Chen stared at the black canopy of heaven torn apart by the phenomenon of Thousand Moons Same Sky and muttered to himself.

"So this is the core of the Divine Intent Realm—Spirit Reflecting Reality!"

"I was originally planning to come pick up the spoils."

"With you fighting like this, what am I supposed to play at?"

Luo Chen's footsteps slowly retreated. He wanted to leave.

Because Shangguan Changyue looked certain to win now.

If he stayed here any longer, it would be difficult to explain.

Just as he had retreated ten li,

the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed.

Shangguan Changyue had been ambushed and knocked from the air. It looked like she had been seriously injured.

Luo Chen...

His departing steps paused slightly, and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

He thought of how this Director-General had treated him rather well.

After learning of his talent, she had even gifted him a Superior Secret Manual for free.

"That skeleton has been beaten until it fell apart. There should... be no danger left, right?"

Shangguan Changyue could be considered someone who had shown him kindness.

Luo Chen was not the sort to stand by and watch someone die. He immediately gritted his teeth, turned around, and headed deeper inside.

It was not as though he ignored his own safety.

If the situation proved impossible, he would definitely flee first. At worst, he could personally avenge Shangguan Changyue later.

But he had seen the situation clearly just now.

Even if that skeleton was not dead, it could not keep living.

Most of the Demonic Beasts in the Heavenly Severing Mountain region had now been refined into Demon Souls within the White Bone Banner.

With his current strength, the chances of encountering danger were not high.

Luo Chen circulated the Power of Years, doing everything he could to conceal his aura.

Ten minutes later,

He arrived at the foot of Heavenly Severing Mountain.

That skeleton struggled within a massive pit. Without its spine, it could not stand. Only its skull remained, swaying as it floated in the air, the flames in its eye sockets dimmed to the extreme.

Yet it was laughing madly, its jawbone opening and closing as it let out strange cackles.

"This time, I won. The inheritance of Cold Moon Palace is about to be severed by my own hand!"

A thousand meters away from the skeleton,

Shangguan Changyue no longer possessed her earlier icy calm. Her robes were stained with blood, and she had fallen to the ground. Most serious of all was the bone needle that had pierced through her chest.

She was currently doing everything she could to suppress the Demonic Qi raging within her body. Even her consciousness had become somewhat blurred.

Just as despair overtook her, a somewhat familiar voice sounded beside her ear.

"Sigh, you had to show off, and now you crashed and burned, didn't you?"

Luo Chen looked at her with exasperation.

Although she had no idea what showing off meant,

when Shangguan Changyue's blurred vision saw the familiar cloud-patterned robes of the Demon Suppressing Guard,

her mind finally reached its limit, and she fainted outright.

Luo Chen paid no attention to his superior lying sprawled on the ground.

He turned, his eyes burning as he looked at the skull in the deep pit.

"You're not dead yet!"

"Perfect!"

He drew Golden Scale and walked step by step toward the skeleton.

This was a Divine Intent Realm Demonic Beast. How much lifespan should it have?

He immediately cast a detection.

[White Bone Great Sage (Divine Intent Realm): 423/2050.]

"Human brat, what are you trying to do?"

"Don't come over!"

"Let me go, and I'll pass on a peerless inheritance to you!"

"My inheritance can be cultivated by humans too!"

"No!"

Clang!

Amid desperate howls, Luo Chen chopped the skull apart with slash after slash.

Looking at the skull that sent sparks flying everywhere,

Luo Chen spat. "It's fucking hard!"

[You killed the Divine Intent Realm White Bone Great Sage and plundered 1250 years of lifespan!]

[Lifespan: 17/2178.]
