Phoenix Bone

The golden imprint specifically targeted the primordial spirit and had no effect on any other part of the body.

Boom!

Demon Spider's body shuddered violently before he was sent flying. Blood flowed from between his brows; his primordial spirit had clearly suffered a grievous blow.

"Ah..." Demon Spider screamed. The spot between his brows throbbed with unbearable pain, and his primordial spirit felt as though it had split apart, weakening even his consciousness.

Pfft!

Lei Chong swung his phoenix wing at the Divine Being Demon Spider's head. Emerald-green blood splashed as an emerald-green head fell.

Rumble!

The head was enormous. It crashed into the vast hall like a falling meteorite, shaking the entire building.

A Divine Being of Demon Spirit Lake had fallen in the True Phoenix Nest today.

Whoosh!

Lei Chong reached out and grabbed Demon Spider's corpse. This was a genuine Divine Being Demon Spider; it would surely be of great use when he refined medicine in the future.

"How dare you!" a shout rang out. It came from the Venerables of Demon Spirit Lake, who had been briefly stunned when their patriarch was killed.

When they came to their senses, they saw that the man was collecting the corpse.

This was a colossal humiliation to them. How could they possibly endure it? Beside themselves with rage, they shouted at Lei Chong.

"Shut up," Lei Chong snapped with a frown. At the same time, several bolts of lightning surged from his body, turning into sharp spears that stabbed at the group of demon spiders.

Pfft!

Several demon spiders were pierced through and sent flying backward with screams.

They were not killed, however. The wide-ranging attack just now had inflicted some injuries on them.

The demon spiders all retreated, no longer daring to challenge Lei Chong.

Lei Chong raised his hand, preparing to strike the group of demon spiders.

Hum!

Just then, the phoenix bone on the altar trembled. Faint flames burned, and a dim image of a True Phoenix appeared, as though it were about to come to life.

At the same time, the curtain of light around the altar seemed ready to crack.

The fighting stopped in an instant, and everyone looked at the rune bone.

But the next moment, everyone moved. They all rushed toward the rune bone, hoping to seize it first.

This was a genuine precious technique of the Ten Fiends, and it concerned nirvana at that. No one was willing to give it up; they all wanted to obtain this great fortune.

Jin Gang of the Western Sect was the fastest. He had already been standing before the altar, and even the earlier sneak attack had failed to force him back.

He stretched out a golden hand and grabbed at the phoenix bone on the altar.

Boom!

A terrifying ripple spread, and the phoenix image blasted the golden hand away.

The phoenix bone had actually resisted of its own accord, refusing to let the golden hand approach.

Even so, that could not stop the cultivators. Everyone had different opportunities; just because someone else could not grab the rune bone did not mean they could not.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless giant hands reached for the rune bone, only to be blasted away by the phoenix bone.

Lei Chong watched, a theory taking shape in his mind.

Whoosh!

The lightning wings behind him fluttered gently, and his body became a bolt of lightning. He appeared before the altar and reached for the rune bone.

Everyone watched him in silence, unconvinced that he could grab it.

Standing before the altar, Lei Chong transformed his arm into a phoenix wing. Activating the True Phoenix runes, he reached for the phoenix bone.

Hum!

The rune bone vibrated with a soft hum but did not stop Lei Chong from taking hold of it.

The rune bone was only about the size of a palm, with intricate patterns carved into its surface. It gave off a faint warmth, as if it had just been heated over a fire.

The entire hall erupted. Someone had actually managed to grab the rune bone.

Boom!

Some reacted swiftly. Giant hands filled the sky, shrouding the entire hall as they descended upon Lei Chong.

Whoosh!

Lei Chong brought out the Void Beast Hide and quickly slipped into the void. He still needed some time to comprehend the True Phoenix Precious Technique.

Hum!

Several giant hands descended, shaking the void until it rumbled.

He was shaken out by the giant hands, unable to remain in the void.

Boom!

Lei Chong unleashed his full power. Bolts of lightning surged high into the sky, forming a vortex in the void before condensing into a massive bolt that descended.

The massive bolt pierced heaven and earth, lighting up the entire hall.

The lightning transformed into heavenly swords, hovering over everyone's heads.

This was an ability from the Thunder Emperor Technique. It indeed possessed terrifying destructive power against a single enemy, but in a group battle, it was somewhat inadequate.

Even so, it could buy him some time.

Holding the True Phoenix rune bone in his hand, Lei Chong began to comprehend the precious technique inscribed on it.

The True Phoenix Precious Technique was intricate, shifting like a sky full of stars. Merely looking at it made him dizzy, let alone actively trying to comprehend it.

Fortunately, when Lei Chong had learned the Phoenix Wing Slash, he had comprehended this kind of precious technique from its very roots,

so he now had a uniquely favorable innate advantage in comprehending it.

Hum!

Runes swirled over Lei Chong's body, gradually transforming into divine flames.

Boom!

A terrifying ripple spread from a golden hand. Jin Gang of the Western Sect had made his move; he was the first to break free of the lightning.

Seeing Lei Chong holding the True Phoenix rune bone, he attacked him without hesitation.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Lei Chong snapped awake. His body became a bolt of lightning, darting sideways and dodging the attack from the other man's hand.

But the man had interrupted his comprehension of the precious technique, rendering all his earlier efforts futile.

During that brief period of comprehension, Lei Chong had made a discovery: the phoenix bone was incomplete, and some of the runes did not connect.

"What's going on? There's only half a rune bone. Was it really broken, with only this half left?" Lei Chong pondered with a frown.

But the situation was urgent, and Lei Chong had no time to dwell on it.

Even if there was only half, he would still do his best to comprehend it. How much of the precious technique he could ultimately obtain would depend on his own fortune.

Jin Gang of the Western Sect wore a cold expression, giving Lei Chong no chance to catch his breath.

The rune bone was very important, and he would not allow anyone to obtain it.

Boom!

More and more people broke free of the lightning and raised their hands to attack Lei Chong.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lei Chong raised his lightning fist and exchanged a blow with each of them.

Of course, he continued to comprehend the rune bone while fighting them.

"Leave the rune bone behind." Jin Gang raised his hand indifferently. As a Divine Being of the Western Sect, his body far surpassed those of the other cultivators, and his strength was greater as well.

Sizzle!

Lei Chong had noticed this too. An imprint flew from between his brows and shot toward the spot between Jin Gang's brows at unparalleled speed.

Bang!

Jin Gang screamed and flew backward, clutching the spot between his brows.

His head felt as though it were splitting, and his primordial spirit seemed to have cracked in two.

Jin Gang's physical body was so strong that none here could match it, but his primordial spirit was not the strongest, so he suffered a grievous injury.

Boom!

Lei Chong opened his mouth and spat out a bolt of lightning, hoping to take the opportunity to finish off this enemy.

But countless giant hands came striking down, trying to snatch the rune bone from Lei Chong's grasp.

Lei Chong moved sideways to evade his opponents' attacks. His own attack was interrupted, leaving him unable to kill Jin Gang and allowing the latter to survive.

Whoosh!

Lightning wings appeared behind Lei Chong. At the same time, he brought out the Earth-Shrinking Talisman and stepped onto the Void Beast Hide, beginning to dodge frantically around the hall.

He darted through the void, evading his opponents' attacks while earnestly comprehending the rune bone and manifesting a True Phoenix around himself.
