Chapter 691: Suppressing the Devil Emperor

Translator: jinzeffect

The skeleton struggled desperately, its body was fuming with gray flames as it wanted to melt the hand.

But the hand was horrifyingly dense and the gray flames were barely able to burn the skin of the hand. It wasn’t possible to melt the hand within a short period of time.

Seeing that the force of the hand was getting tighter, the skeleton instantly shrunk down. As it became smaller, the skeleton blended into the void to break free from Li Fuchen’s hand.

“What an incredible cardinal artifact.” Li Fuchen was silently amazed.

This cardinal artifact wasn’t just able to increase the White Bone Devil Emperor, it was even able to blend into the void.

Blending into the void had similar effects with the Invisibility incantation. But it was obvious that Li Fuchen’s current Invisibility incantation was inferior to this cardinal artifact’s void blending effect.

Dozens of miles away, a human-sized skeleton was floating in the sky. The White Bone Devil Emperor had an unpleasant expression as he thought, “How did he become this strong? Isn’t he a sword dao cultivator? Why did he suddenly become a body refinement cultivator?”

If Li Fuchen was still using his sword dao strength to fight, the White Bone Devil Emperor was confident he could suppress them, and could capture the duo within a short period of time.

But now, he couldn’t even suppress Li Fuchen, how was he going to fight.

“I should have borrowed the Skeleton Bracelet too.” The White Bone Devil Emperor was silently regretting.

The skeleton cardinal artifact was an entire set of cardinal artifacts. It included the Skeleton Cloak, Skeleton Bracelet, and Skeleton Necklace.

With the entire set of cardinal artifacts, it allowed a high-level emperor or a peak-level emperor to possess the strength of a great emperor, and there was no shortcoming.

Back then, the skeleton cardinal artifacts were the Skull Great Emperor’s prized artifacts. However, the Skull Great Emperor obtained a better cardinal artifact, therefore, he placed the skeleton cardinal artifacts in the artifact loan pavilion.

Of course, the cost required to borrow two of the skeleton cardinal artifacts was different.

Borrowing one artifact would cost 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Borrowing two artifacts would cost 150,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Borrowing three artifacts would cost 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.

It was fortunate that the loan period was one year and the borrower could use it as they please.

If someone else wanted to borrow it, the borrower could also receive high-grade spirit stones in return to compensate for their loss.

It was useless to feel regretful, but the White Bone Devil Emperor wasn’t willing to leave just like this.

“Skeleton Divine Fire!”

The skeleton expanded again and the White Bone Devil Emperor controlled the skeleton to shoot a mouthful of black fire at the Clear Wind Mountain.

Black fire wasn’t ordinary fire and was the true heaven fire.

Fire was generally split into three categories, the ordinary fire, earth fire and heaven fire.

Each fire had greater power than the previous grade of fire.

A peak-level earth fire was already able to kill a Law Phase Realm emperor. As for heaven fire, they should be enough to burn any Law Phase Realm emperor to death.

The black fire was like a black dragon that surged over and everywhere it passed by would start to burn and distort. There were also traces of slight cracks.

Li Fuchen frowned and countered with a palm strike.

Rumble!

When the Hand of Force and black fire clashed, the Hand of Force had signs of it getting melted. It was just like a piece of thick candle that encountered the flame.

Pfff!

Finally, the black fire managed to burn through the Hand of Force and the remaining fire spiraled towards Li Fuchen like a small snake.

“Interesting, I wonder how much more fire can you produce?”

Both Li Fuchen’s hands turned into afterimages as he instantly struck out countless palms. Translucent palms were blasted at the skeleton while that small fire snake was already extinguished.

“So many?” Inside the skeleton, the White Bone Devil Emperor’s eyes widened.

A cardinal artifact was still an external force and not part of one’s own power. When executed, there were plenty of restrictions and it wasn’t as flexible.

Huff Huff Huff Huff...

The White Bone Devil Emperor controlled the skeleton to shoot out more than a dozen black fires. For a moment, the fires covered the sky and buried the translucent palms.

While panting, the White Bone Devil Emperor stared intently at the fires.

Boom!

Plenty of translucent palms passed through the fire and were surging towards the skeleton.

There were just too many translucent palms and the fires might have destroyed a few of the palms, but the remaining number was still significant.

Boom Boom Boom Boom...

For a moment, the skeleton had suffered an unknown number of palm strikes and was dizzy from all the impacts. The skeleton frame nearly collapsed.

“Damn it, damn it.”

The White Bone Devil Emperor spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and withdrew from the skeleton state.

“White Bone Devil Emperor, do not come for the third time. Otherwise, I will still kill you, even if the Skull Great Emperor is backing you.” Li Fuchen’s voice transmitted over.

“Do you think you can kill me?” The White Bone Devil Emperor was dissatisfied.

Not even a great emperor would dare to say such words. Those who could kill him easily would be top-class great emperors.

What was Li Fuchen considered?

“You can try.”

Li Fuchen clapped his hands and two translucent palms the size of a few dozen miles each had smashed the White Bone Devil Emperor in the middle.

“Grind.”

Li Fuchen rubbed his palms and the two translucent palms looked as though they were grinding beans and turned the White Bone Devil Emperor into powder.

However, the White Bone Devil Emperor was proficient in the White Bone Rebirth and the powder fused back again.

But before the White Bone Devil Emperor could react, the translucent palms grinded him into powder again.

Third time, fourth time, fifth time...

After the fifth time, the White Bone Devil Emperor was a little exhausted. After all, his White Bone Rebirth couldn’t be used infinitely. When it reached a certain number, he wouldn’t be able to revive anymore.

“Stop, hurry up and stop!” The White Bone Devil Emperor yelled out.

Li Fuchen didn’t stop.

Sixth time, seventh time...

“Little bastard, my Skull Cult is never going to let you go, you are dead!”

“Consider it my defeat.”

“Young hero, please spare my life...”

After grinding the White Bone Devil Emperor for ten times, Li Fuchen finally stopped.

This time, the White Bone Devil Emperor took a moment before he was able to revive. His qi presence was very weak and when he looked at Li Fuchen, his eyes were filled with hatred and resentment, but there was also fear and terror.

“Get lost then.” Li Fuchen waved his hand to send the White Bone Devil Emperor flying.

Li Fuche didn’t kill the White Bone Devil Emperor because of the Skull Great Emperor.

According to Yang Deng, the Skull Great Emperor was a top-class great emperor. There were only one or two individuals in the Heaven Pillar Continent that could compare with him.

If Li Fuchen merely injured the White Bone Devil Emperor, the Skull Great Emperor shouldn’t be taking actions.

After all, the Yang Clan was backed by the Heaven Fire Guild and the Heaven Fire Guild’s Heaven Fire Doyen was also a great emperor.

However, if Li Fuchen killed the White Bone Devil Emperor, he would be openly offending the Skull Cult and the Skull Great Emperor.

For the moment, Li Fuchen wasn’t really prepared to contest with a great emperor.

The Yang Clan was in a huge commotion.

The battle between Li Fuchen and the White Bone Devil Emperor was too horrific for them.

The White Bone Devil Emperor suddenly enlarged to over a thousand miles in height. Even the Yang Clan’s tallest mountain was only at the White Bone Devil Emperor’s ankle, while the clouds were swirling around the lower legs. The White Bone Devil Emperor looked just like a demon god that was uncontestable and extremely vicious.

However, when the White Bone Devil Emperor grew stronger, Li Fuchen became even more enigmatic.

This was a peak-class emperor and he was actually begging for mercy under Li Fuchen’s hand. If this was made known, it would surely shock the entire Heaven Pillar Continent.

“Young Hero Li is truly overwhelming with talent. I wonder which continent are you from?” Yang Deng and Yang Long stood together and asked.

This world was too big and there were definitely plenty of continents that were stronger than the Heaven Pillar Continent.

...

After defeating the White Bone Devil Emperor, Li Fuchen still wasn’t at ease.

He didn’t think that the White Bone Devil Emperor was an upright person, after all, all evil dao individuals were crafty and scheming, making them truly hard to predict.

Li Fuchen reckoned that the White Bone Devil Emperor would think of other methods to deal with him. Li Fuchen didn’t kill him this time because he wanted to drag for more time. As Li Fuchen was only lacking time.

“If there are herbs to increase my dantian limit, my qi cultivation will instantly reach the 1st level of Law Phase Realm. Right now, it is up to the Yang Clan.”

Li Fuchen looked for Yang Deng and Yang Long. “Do you have any herbs to increase the dantian limit?”

Yang Deng exchanged looks with Yang Long. From the looks of it, they still underestimated Li Fuchen. Only people with extreme progression speed would need herbs to increase the dantian limits.

In general situations, such herbs would only be occasionally used by the Law Phase Realm emperors.

“The Heaven Pillar Continent does have such herbs, but they are not cheap. The higher the grade, the higher the price, and we might not be able to obtain them.” Yang Deng replied.

Li Fuchen said, “Then buy them with a price that is higher than the market rate. Here are 50,000 high-grade spirit stones and some heaven class herbs. See what you can do.”

Li Fuchen had around 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. But if all of the other resources were converted into high-grade spirit stones, Li Fuchen’s wealth would at least be one million high-grade spirit stones.

During these years, he had ventured to many treacherous places and received plenty of rewards. He had also killed plenty of formidable enemies, giving him great rewards too.

It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that the number of heaven class herbs he had, could be countered in hundreds.

“Alright, we will do our best.”

Yang Deng and Yang Long knew that their Yang Clan was a locust that was tied onto Li Fuchen. If Li Fuchen thrived, they would thrive, if Li Fuchen fell, they would also fall.

...

Time passed by quickly, but after risking everything, the Yang Clan still obtained some herbs to increase the dantian limit.

However, these herbs’ grades weren’t high and the results weren’t significant.

Li Fuchen required herbs that were on par with 10,000-year Rootless Flowers.

Even if there weren’t such herbs, he would need a sufficient number of 1000-year Rootless Flowers.

...

The Heaven Pillar Continent had a total of ten major factions, six were orthodox and four were unorthodox.

Apart from the Skull Cult, there was the Evil Emperor Valley, Zombie Guild, and Poison Dragon Palace.

(TL note: The Zombie here is referring to Chinese zombies, jiang shi)

Among them, the Zombie Guild was specialized in body refinement.

However, their body refinement was different from regular body refinement practitioners.

They absorbed the essence from the sun, moon, and earth. They absorbed poison and also human blood.

Especially blood from body refinement practitioners.

It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that a body refinement emperor’s blood was enough for an emperor of the Zombie Guild to improve their body by a huge level.

Even the Zombie Great Emperor would probably be very interested in body refinement emperor’s blood.

Zombie Region, Flying Corpse Mountain.

The Flying Corpse Emperor was one of the two peak-class emperors under the Zombie Great Emperor. His strength was much stronger than the White Bone Devil Emperor.

If the White Bone Devil Emperor met with regular great emperors, he would be able to exchange a few moves and quickly escape.

But if the Flying Corpse Emperor met with regular great emperors, he didn’t even need to escape.

Both their bodies were too tough and regular great emperors wouldn’t be able to break their defense. The great emperors could only repeatedly send them flying.

Dozens of years ago, the Flying Corpse Emperor fought with the Purple Bamboo Great Emperor from the six orthodox factions for an entire day. The Flying Corpse Emperor merely suffered some light injuries. This caused the Flying Corpse Emperor’s reputation to rise up greatly. Some even treated him as a great emperor, with a slightly inferior attack power.

On this day, the White Bone Devil Emperor visited the Flying Corpse Mountain.
