At the same time, they raised their heads and opened all twelve gray-gold bone eyes. Then, the twelve Ancient Prison Skeleton Aspect simultaneously stretched out their arms, and huge crimson- Black Bone imprints emerged from the depths of their palms. The bone imprints echoed each other, forming twelve ancient skeleton chains that stretched across the sky.
The skeletal chains frantically converged towards the center, eventually coalescing into a massive, immeasurably large, crimson -Black Bone blade. Countless fragmented true names and shattered Fate Souls were engraved on the surface of the blade. Before the blade even fell, countless cracks appeared in the surrounding void, and large swaths of primordial raindrops were shaken apart by the surging ancient prison essence within.
The Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion suddenly spread his arms, and a thin, long bloodstain appeared on the gray-gold vertical pupil in the center of his chest. An extremely pure source of energy flowed into the twelve skeletal figures along the bloodstain, causing their originally dark red bone armor to suddenly turn into a deep, pitch-black color. Then, the twelve skeletal figures simultaneously grasped the huge bone blade that spanned the heavens and the earth and slashed down fiercely along the center of the gray-white giant umbrella.
"Break for me!!"
Clang! The crimson -Black Bone blade suddenly pierced through layers of void, carrying the essence of twelve ancient prisons as it crashed into the gray-white umbrella. The moment the blade touched the umbrella fabric, all twelve umbrella ribs simultaneously emitted a gray-gold glow. The ancient bull-shaped pattern deep within the giant umbrella suddenly became clear, and thick, primordial mountains emerged along the umbrella ribs, attempting to firmly suppress the crimson- Black Bone blade.
However, the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion had already pushed their ancient prison origins to the Ultimate. The twelve skeletons simultaneously let out a deafening roar, and the gray-gold bone pupils in their chests shattered one after another. All the origins contained within them surged into the bone blades, and the blades that had been suppressed were pushed forward again.
Crack! A tiny crack finally appeared in the center of the gray-white umbrella. Shangguan Wan'er looked up abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief. "It cracked?! It really cracked?!"
At the same moment, Elder White Brow's eyes widened, the muscles on his aged face trembling slightly with excitement. He stared intently at the tiny crack, his breathing becoming rapid.
High in the sky, the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion let out an even more violent roar. Its six crimson bone wings suddenly closed forward, and all the dark red essence accumulated between the wing bones surged out at the same time, frantically pouring into the crimson- Black Bone blades along the backs of the twelve skeletal figures.
The crack, which was originally only an inch wide, quickly spread in all directions. The primordial patterns deep within the gray-white umbrella fabric broke one after another, and the twelve umbrella ribs began to vibrate violently. Large, fine cracks even appeared on the surface of three of the umbrella ribs.
"Roar--!" The twelve Ancient Prison Skeleton Aspect. The crimson -Black Bone blades pressed down once more.
Boom!! A huge crack suddenly appeared in the center of the gray-white giant umbrella. The originally intact umbrella surface was torn in two by the terrifying bone blade. Large amounts of gray-white primordial energy surged wildly from the crack, and the twelve umbrella ribs emitted a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds.
The first three umbrella ribs to collapse turned into countless gray-gold fragments. Subsequently, the remaining nine umbrella ribs also broke one after another under the continuous bombardment of the twelve skeletal figures. The huge umbrella surface that originally covered tens of thousands of miles of mountains and plains was instantly covered with crisscrossing cracks.
Crack! Crack! Crack--! The last rib of the umbrella suddenly snapped.
Rumble--! The entire gray-white giant umbrella finally shattered completely. The umbrella fabric turned into countless gray-white primordial fragments, and the twelve ancient umbrella ribs exploded one after another. The thick gray-white sky that originally covered the entire mountain plain collapsed with a roar, and tens of thousands of primordial raindrops lost their support in the high sky and successively turned into tiny specks of light and dissipated.
The previously obscured sky reappeared, and the layers of bluish-gray clouds were torn open by the crimson- Black Bone blade, creating a massive rift spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. The long-awaited sunlight finally poured down along the rift, illuminating the bluish-gray earth covered with beast corpses and broken rocks.
Within the shattered grand formation of the Shangguan Lineage, thousands of surviving disciples looked up in unison at the completely collapsed gray-white giant umbrella high in the sky. Their previously tense faces finally revealed a hint of barely suppressed excitement.
Some people's hands trembled and their eyes reddened. Some people held the broken divine weapons that had lost their original source and stared at the reappearing sky for a long time without being able to speak. Several deacons couldn't help but exhale a long breath.
The core of the formation, which was almost exhausted, finally stopped being continuously eroded by the Primordial Rain. Although the remaining Fate Soul chains were still severely damaged, they finally stopped collapsing one after another.
High in the sky, the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion slowly retracted its arms, and the twelve Ancient Prison Skeleton Aspect gradually faded behind it. The enormous crimson- Black Bone blade also disintegrated into countless bone patterns, which then merged back into its twelve spines.
The gray-gold vertical pupil in the center of its chest slowly closed, the bloodstain deep within the pupil still clearly visible, and several fine cracks appeared on the edges of its six crimson bone wings, clearly indicating that the previous divine power had consumed a significant portion of its ancient prison essence. Yet, the expression on its face grew increasingly ferocious, its dark gold pupils flashing with intense contempt, and the corners of its mouth slowly stretched to the sides.
"Hmph!" It coldly gazed at the palm-sized, grayish-white beast at the far end of the beast tide, its chest rising and falling slowly, a low laugh emanating from deep within its throat, "I'd like to see what else you've got up your sleeve!"
In the distance, Gongpiluo Huang hovered silently at the forefront of the beast tide, its gray-white fur gently swaying with the primordial energy. Among the twelve star spots, the rat-shaped star spot and the second ox-shaped star spot still emitted a faint glow.
Although the giant gray-white umbrella that once covered the sky and earth had completely collapsed, its expression did not change significantly. The Beginningless Ancient Rhyme deep in its left eye remained silent, while the Endless Abyss deep in its right eye flowed slowly. Its slender tail swayed gently behind it, its end constantly disappearing and reappearing.
Seeing this, the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion narrowed its dark golden eyes slightly, its disdain growing stronger. Just now, it had sensed the ancient aura flowing on the other party, the twelve star spots, the gray-white primordial chaos, the abyss where the Beginningless and the Endless converged—these characteristics gradually overlapped with an ancient legend it had heard deep in the Primordial Ancient Prison.
Thinking of this, the corners of its mouth slowly turned up, and an extremely contemptuous smile appeared on its pale, skeletal face. However, it did not reveal all the contempt in its heart. It simply raised its head slowly, its voice low and hoarse.
"I wondered who it was? It turns out to be Gongpiluo Huang, one of the twelve Seal of End and Beginning that the 'Source of Wuji' cast on the Twelve Zodiac Aspects. I never expected to have the honor of meeting you today!"
As it spoke, its six crimson bone wings slowly unfurled, and twelve spines along its back glowed with a dark red light. The gray-gold vertical pupil in the center of its chest opened slightly, with remnants of the ancient prison's essence slowly flowing deep within its pupils. Its enormous body, tens of thousands of feet tall, hovered in the high sky, looking down at the palm-sized gray-white beast in the distance, its dark-gold pupils filled with arrogance and contempt.
Upon hearing this, Gongpiluo Huang's previously calm lips slowly curved into a very faint smile. Its gaze slowly swept over the six crimson bone wings of the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion, and then landed on the gray-gold vertical pupil in the center of its chest. The ancient charm of Beginningless and Endless quietly flowed in its eyes, and a sense of contempt gradually rose in its heart.
In its eyes, the other party's act of shattering the gray-white giant umbrella with all its might, along with its current arrogant ferocity, seemed utterly laughable. It was as arrogant as an ant trying to shake a tree, yet it dared to boast in front of it. Gongpiluo Huang slowly raised a small forepaw, gently stroked the corner of its mouth, and then spoke in a calm and slightly playful tone.
"I never expected to meet Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion. It seems my luck is pretty good today!"
Its voice was not loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire Blue-Gray Mountain Plain. Even the ancient divine beasts and divine beast supreme beings that were lying low in the distance trembled slightly when this voice rang out. Tens of thousands of scarlet beast eyes lowered, and their huge beast bodies lay even lower.
Upon hearing this, the smile on the pale bone face of the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion slowly faded, a cold glint flashed in his dark golden eyes, and his six crimson bone wings suddenly trembled, a large amount of thick blood mist gushing outwards along the wing bones, while the twelve spines on his back simultaneously lit up with a dark red glow.
It slowly raised its right hand, its six slender fingers spread forward, and its grey-gold bone pupils suddenly opened, its voice filled with intense provocation. "Hmph! Enough with the nonsense, today I, the Venerable One, will experience the so-called 'Source of Wuji'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient prison essence around the Eternal Prison Skeleton Ancient Scion Descendant surged suddenly, and six crimson bone wings spread outward. Twelve dark red bone rings appeared around his enormous body, which was tens of thousands of feet tall. The bone rings were wrapped with dense crimson and black lock patterns. The gray-gold vertical pupil in the center of his chest slowly opened again, and an extremely fierce ancient aura spread in all directions along the heavens and earth.
Gongpiluo Huang gazed at it quietly, and the deep Beginningless Abyss in the depths of his left eye suddenly stirred gently, and a wisp of ancient gray-white charm quietly emerged.
