Ten bone spikes pierced Gu Hai’s body in an instant! Almost everyone who cared about Gu Hai broke out in a cold sweat, but he claimed he was fine? Even riddled with holes, he claimed his injuries were inconsequential? Could it be true?

Since Gu Hai said so, everyone could only worry as they kept an eye out for him.

In the distance, Houqing and Mao Tianyun gradually suppressed the Bone Deity’s body and worked to destroy it amid loud reports.

Meanwhile, they saw Gu Hai out of the corner of their eyes.

A saber stabbed the Bone Deity’s head? The Bone Deity’s head sprouted bone spikes that pierced Gu Hai’s body?

Mutual destruction? The two stared in astonishment at the scene, but their hands did not stop.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a series of heavy blows, Mao Tianyun and Houqing finally turned the Bone Deity’s skeleton into dust. Then they slowly approached.

On the other side, the Bone Deity desperately retaliated, continuously plunging bone spikes into Gu Hai’s body when he noticed his impending doom.

Ten bone spikes…twenty bone spikes…. However, Gu Hai avoided damage to his vital spots.

The Life Ender Saber pulled out streams of energy, and Gu Hai felt a vast amount of Ghost Energy suddenly pour into his body.

“Ghost Energy? Such intense Ghost Energy?” Gu Hai exclaimed.

Without hesitation, Gu Hai circulated the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment, rapidly absorbing this Ghost Energy. His eyes widened in astonishment.

Every ghost possessed a certain amount of Ghost Energy. It was a special energy formed by ghosts when nourished by negative energy. However, the amount of Ghost Energy a ghost possessed was meager. The stronger the ghost cultivator, the more Ghost Energy in its body. However, even the most powerful ghosts had limited Ghost Energy.

Gu Hai originally believed he could never cultivate using Ghost Energy because it was simply too scarce. Furthermore, he would require an incredibly vast amount of Ghost Energy.

He never expected that there would be such a vast amount of Ghost Energy inside the Bone Deity’s head. It should not be possible, so why was there so much?

“Don’t extract my Ghost Energy! The Six Paths Immortal granted me this immense Ghost Energy from the nether realm to kill the Bone Ancestor. It is all the wandering Ghost Energy in the entire nether realm. Return my Ghost Energy to me! Without Ghost Energy, I am nothing! Return my Ghost Energy!” the skull roared desperately.

However, the overpowering Worldly Sorrowful Endowment did not stop because of the Bone Deity’s cries.

Gu Hai absorbed the surging Ghost Energy.

Meanwhile, the Life Ender Saber extracted a different energy from the skull.

“The Void Bone Marrow? No! No! Bone Ancestor, you want to reclaim the Void Bone Marrow? It’s mine! Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it!” the skull shouted in astonishment.

While absorbing Ghost Energy, Gu Hai sensed what the Life Ender Saber absorbed—the Void Bone Marrow, the source of the Bone Ancestor’s strength. Eight hundred thousand years ago, the Bone Ancestor absorbed Void Energy and contained it in this Void Bone Marrow. When the Bone Deity rebelled and killed the Bone Ancestor, the Bone Deity seized the Void Bone Marrow. Now that the Life Ender Saber suppressed the Bone Deity, it reclaimed all that bone marrow.

The Life Ender Saber sought only the Void Bone Marrow, paying no attention to the vast amount of Ghost Energy, leaving it to Gu Hai to absorb.

Rumble…!

The Bone Deity counterattacked in despair, surrounding Gu Hai with innumerable bone spikes. It seemed like a tomb of bones, burying Gu Hai within.

“Master!” Ensnaring Performance exclaimed as he rushed over.

“Don’t come close. We’re fine. Guard us!” Gu Hai’s voice came from within the bone tomb.

“Yes!”

Long Shenying, the Unborn Man, and the Mosquito Daoist immediately guarded Gu Hai, preventing anyone, including the skeletons, from approaching.

Mao Tianyun and Houqing dealt with everything and went over.

“Meow! Is Gu Hai engaged in a mental battle with the Bone Deity? Should I help?” Mao Tianyun called out.

“No need. My master said guarding him would do!” Ensnaring Performance stopped Mao Tianyun.

The ten sect masters flew over and respectfully expressed their gratitude. “Senior, many thanks for your help!”

“Don’t come near!” The Mosquito Daoist coldly intercepted everyone.

Houqing also flew closer, casting a cold gaze at the bone tomb in the center.

“Is he engaging in a mental clash with the Bone Deity? Gu Hai is truly arrogant. He hasn’t even reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, yet he dares to confront the Bone Deity mentally? He’s truly courting death!” Houqing sneered.

“Mister Houqing, please choose your words carefully. It was because His Reverence intervened that you could defeat the Bone Deity!” the Unborn Man said solemnly.

“You address him as His Reverence? Hahaha! Unborn Man, I’m disappointed you have submitted to Gu Hai. Hah! Quite disappointed!” Houqing retorted coldly.

Houqing was displeased, no matter how he looked at Gu Hai. Thus, his dissatisfaction spilled over to the Unborn Man, which he expressed as ridicule.

“What I do is none of your concern. You may despise His Reverence, but His Reverence has accomplished things you could not. You couldn’t defeat the Bone Deity; His Reverence killed the Bone Deity!” the Unborn Man said coldly.

“Killed? Not yet. The Bone Deity has reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Although temporarily suppressed, once he brings out his full power, Gu Hai will undoubtedly suffer a backlash. The consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm is not something you can compare with!” Houqing replied in a haughty tone.

“Heh, you have been here for so long, so you still don’t know, right? His Reverence has already clashed with many consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators. The Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s Number Five, Number Six, Number Seven, Number Eight, Number Nine, Number Ten, and Number Eleven have all fought His Reverence. Isn’t His Reverence still fine?” the Unborn Man sneered.

“What? That’s impossible! They are all cultivators at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Seven of them? How could Gu Hai have survived battles against them?” Houqing objected in disbelief. “I don’t believe it. Humph! Don’t try to deceive me. He hasn’t reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm yet. Who are you trying to fool?”

“Let’s wait and see. His Reverence will soon destroy the Bone Deity’s consciousness!” the Unborn Man retorted confidently.

Houqing’s expression turned unsightly.

“Is Master really that powerful?” Ensnaring Performance exclaimed in astonishment.

“You’ve got to be boasting!” Mao Tianyun frowned skeptically.

“How is that boasting? Damn cat, wasn’t it you who said my master defeated Jiang Lianshan eight hundred thousand years in the past? Jiang Lianshan was also at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm!” Ensnaring Performance retorted, refusing to back down.

“That was because Gu Hai used the energy of countless citizens of the world back then!” Mao Tianyun explained.

“Humph! It doesn’t matter whether you believe it; I believe it!” Ensnaring Performance said defiantly.

Houqing frowned slightly but could not discern the truth at that moment.

Just then, Houqing’s pupils suddenly constricted as he glanced at a distant figure.

Houqing sensed an aura hidden in the shadows.

This is…the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s Number Nine? There’s no mistaking it. I fought him in the nether realm back then! Houqing’s thoughts raced.

He looked towards the nearby bone tomb, and his expression changed. The Unborn Man said Gu Hai fought the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. Doesn’t that mean the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s people are Gu Hai’s enemies?

The Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s ninth-ranked peak master is at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm.

Houqing sensed wind movement and immediately detected the Heavenly Demon Holy Land’s sixth-ranked and eighth-ranked peak masters beyond the horizon.

Are they here to kill Gu Hai?

Houqing’s eyes lit up.

Long Wanyu and Elder Sister will definitely not allow me to harm Gu Hai. Even though I’m here and Gu Hai’s enemies are here, do I need to help stop his enemies? Maybe…!

“Very well, since Gu Hai claims to be able to destroy the Bone Deity, let’s believe him. We don’t need to worry about the Bone Deity anymore, so let’s go back!” Houqing said casually.

“Shouldn’t we wait?” Mao Tianyun asked curiously.

“What’s there to wait for? Are you close to him?” Houqing retorted.

Mao Tianyun frowned slightly.

“Didn’t the Mosquito Daoist and Long Shenying hold off the skeletons earlier? Don’t worry. Let’s return and report first!” Houqing said.

Mao Tianyun contemplated for a moment and eventually nodded. “Alright.”

Since the two insisted on leaving, the Mosquito Daoist and the others did not stop them. However, they were unaware of Houqing’s sinister intentions.

Houqing and Mao Tianyun turned and headed for the horizon.

As Houqing left, he glanced back at the bone tomb and revealed a cold smile.

Gu Hai already took so long to deal with just the head of the Bone Deity. Clearly, he is far inferior to a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. The others have not attained the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, either. If the Bone Deity’s head goes wild, perhaps he can deal a fatal blow to Gu Hai. Furthermore, there are three other consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators who want Gu Hai’s life. Gu Hai’s group does not have a single consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. Once I leave, Gu Hai is dead for sure! Houqing sneered.

Whoosh!

Houqing and Mao Tianyun disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Only Ensnaring Performance remained, and after the ten sect masters expressed their gratitude, they immediately began cleaning up the battlefield.

The Mosquito Daoist and Long Shenying blocked the skeletons, guarding the bone tomb.

Meanwhile, Gu Hai continued to absorb Ghost Energy while sensing the changes in the Life Ender Saber.

As the Life Ender Saber extracted the Void Bone Marrow, the Bone Deity weakened, and the Life Ender Saber seemed to change.

When the Bone Ancestor was at its weakest, Gu Hai had erased its consciousness. What remained in the Life Ender Saber were just remnants of instinct from that time. Now, it was on the verge of a complete transformation, apparently forming a new consciousness after absorbing the Void Bone Marrow.

“Life Ender Saber, are you giving birth to a new consciousness? That will never happen! You belong to me, and your consciousness can only be my consciousness!” Gu Hai said firmly.

Gu Hai immediately released more of his consciousness into the Life Ender Saber.

The Life Ender Saber was an extension of Gu Hai, yet it seemed to detach itself gradually, and an extremely mysterious sensation appeared within the Life Ender Saber.

Gu Hai could not help opening his eyes as he absorbed the Ghost Energy.

The Life Ender Saber, stabbed into the Bone Deity’s head, transformed, slowly taking on a human shape resembling Gu Hai. However, this body was made entirely of bone.

“What is this?” Gu Hai exclaimed in astonishment.

The Life Ender Saber is forming a body? It is taking human form?

“Consciousness! Right, I need to put in more of my consciousness in the Life Ender Saber,” Gu Hai said with some excitement.

Gu Hai had thought of a possibility. After absorbing the Void Bone Marrow, the Life Ender Saber would transform into a skeleton spirit’s body. Pouring in his consciousness would essentially create a skeleton clone.

A skeleton clone?

One consciousness but two bodies?

Gu Hai did not know if this was the right move. However, he would not suffer any loss. Will I gain a skeleton clone?

Rumble…!

Pushed by Gu Hai, the Life Ender Saber absorbed the Void Bone Marrow even more rapidly.

“Argh! Bone Ancestor! I hate this! I truly hate this! I put in so much effort, but all the rewards went to you! I hate you! I don’t accept this!” the Bone Deity roared in despair.
