CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 350: GOLDEN CORE DIVINE TECHNIQUES—WHITE BONE HELL [2 UPDATES, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!]

The evil spirits have form but no substance, their most adept divine technique is possession and seizing, then devouring the cultivator’s divine soul and physical energy to enhance their cultivation.

When an evil spirit evolves into a Golden Core Stage Ghost General, it can condense a Ghost Pill similar to a Golden Core, then rely on the Ghost Pill to gather a tangible form and gain the ability to perform "Netherworld Ghost Techniques."

A Golden Core Stage Ghost General might not be as strong as a human Golden Core Stage cultivator or a Tier Five Demon Beast, but it is indeed a solid Golden Core Stage existence, not comparable to a Tier Four Demon Beast or a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator.

If it’s a Tier Five Ghost General refined by a Ghostly Demon Cultivator, it might even grasp various formidable demonic divine techniques and refine powerful ghostly demon spiritual artifacts, making it possible to possess abilities surpassing that of a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

And if a Bone Demon can evolve into a Tier Five White Bone General, the condensed White Bone Profound Pearl can become a demon artifact comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator’s artifact, even allowing the white bones to temporarily flesh out into a body.

Whether it’s a Golden Core Stage Ghost General or a Golden Core Stage White Bone General, their strength far surpasses that of a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, and some methods that restrain demons have much less effect on them compared to demons Tier Five and below.

The restraining effect is always relative.

Water can restrain fire, but if the power of fire far exceeds that of water, it can still evaporate the water.

If Zhouyang uses "Qianyang True Flame," as long as it hits a demon of the same tier, it can almost form a crushing effect.

But when dealing with a demon one great realm above his own, not to mention whether the divine techniques can hit the opponent, even if they can, it’s unlikely to destroy the opponent in one blow.

And now, on the Ghostly Mist Peak, he is simultaneously facing the siege of a Golden Core Stage Ghost General and a White Bone General.

Hehehehe~~

Sharp ghostly howls sounded all over the Ghostly Mist Peak, with black ghostly shadows drifting everywhere in the sky, making it impossible to discern which is real and which is false.

Amidst the layering shadows, piercing cold white bone arrows would often sneak attack unexpectedly.

Zhouyang is bathed in the golden "Qianyang True Flame" hovering above the peak, with the "Fire Separation Vermilion Bird Furnace" blazing above his head and "Great Derivation Divine Light Sword" under his feet, surrounded by ten red sword rainbows constantly fending off various attacks.

He never expected that just half an hour after entering this Ghostly Mist Peak, he would attract the attack of these two Golden Core Stage demons.

If it were only one Golden Core Stage demon, he could still muster the courage to fight against it, to compete.

But now, facing two Golden Core Stage demons, he’s struggling even to protect himself, his mind filled with thoughts of how to retreat.

"Hehehe, young one from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, if you are willing to leave that demon banner behind, this general might spare you a bit of true spirit for reincarnation, otherwise your divine soul will only become a delicious dish on this general’s table!"

The strange laughter of the Golden Core Stage Ghost General floated out amidst the sky full of ghostly shadows, incredibly eerie and spine-chilling.

These demons, trapped in the "Sealed Demon Cave" for thousands of years and often subjected to the purges and hunts of the Profound Sun Immortal Sect cultivators, are already filled with resentment against the cultivators of the Profound Sun Immortal Sect.

Any cultivator from the Profound Sun Immortal Sect who fell into the hands of these demons never met a good end, suffering endless torment both before and after death.

Zhouyang appearing here, with the "Qianyang Treasure Body," a body of extreme yang and strength, naturally made these demons assume he was a Profound Sun Immortal Sect cultivator.

"Hmph, cowardly ghosts that hide and bark in the dark, if you dare appear before me, I will surely make you perish utterly, never to reincarnate again!"

Zhouyang’s eyes flashed with gold-red light, his Separation Fire Golden Eyes sweeping through the sky full of ghostly shadows, searching for the true form of the Golden Core Stage Ghost General while responding disdainfully to the opponent’s taunt.

What he truly feared was not this Golden Core Stage Ghost General, who could only play hide and seek games with him, but the White Bone General hidden somewhere unknown.

The White Bone General’s attacks were mostly physical, posing the greatest threat to him, and if he wasn’t careful, it could take his life.

Fortunately, the demons here, long trapped in the "Sealed Demon Cave," mostly have not refined any demon artifacts, otherwise, facing the attacks of two Golden Core Stage demons today, he wouldn’t even have a ten percent chance of escaping.

Swoosh!

At this moment, another White Bone Long Spear, about seven feet long, suddenly shot out from behind a ghostly shadow, directly piercing through the shadow and shooting towards Zhouyang.

The spear broke through the air with lightning speed, even faster than Zhouyang’s Flying Sword.

However, facing such an attack, Zhouyang didn’t even blink and directly ignored it.

Because before the spear reached him, it was intercepted halfway by a red sword rainbow.

He had now set up the "Nine Palace Sword Array," positioning himself at the center of the array, and any attack had to first break through the Flying Swords guarding every side of him.

If the true form of the White Bone General emerged and attacked with full force, Zhouyang’s Flying Sword would surely fail to block the attack, but to think that this probing attack could defeat him was overly optimistic.

And after so many attacks, Zhouyang had roughly guessed the White Bone General’s hiding place.

After intercepting the white bone spear attack, he quickly formed a spell with his hands, massively burning "Qianyang True Flame" suddenly splitting off, condensing into a golden flame dragon pouncing towards a certain place on the mountain.

Rumble!

In the midst of the violent explosion sound, a white human-shaped skeleton suddenly flew out from the explosion’s flames, charging straight towards Zhouyang.

This skeleton, though humanoid, had a pair of bone wings that humans did not possess, and its arm ends were not human hands but a pair of curved white bone beast claws.

This is a Bone Demon, a demon composed of white bones.

Natural Bone Demons are rare; generally, they are refined by Demonic Cultivators using a Secret Technique.

Compared to zombie-type demons, Bone Demons have the advantages of agility, higher intelligence, and greater evolutionary potential.

Bone Demons, during evolution, continuously change their forms to adapt better to combat and slaughter.

Just like the White Bone General now lunging at Zhouyang, its bone wings allow it to fly faster and can also fold up to serve as a defensive shield.

Its beast claws evolved to achieve better attacks.

The seven or eight Bone Demons Zhouyang encountered earlier all evolved such beast claws for close combat.

What he didn’t expect was that this White Bone General was so fierce, and after its tracks were discovered, it didn’t retreat but rather charged directly at him.

Of course, unexpected as it was, it was impossible for him to be afraid.

"Fire!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhouyang summoned clusters of "Qianyang True Flame" that poured onto the Flying Swords, coating each "Great Derivation Divine Light Sword" with golden flames.

Then these Flying Swords, enveloped in golden flames, turned their light and flew towards the charging White Bone General in unison.

Originally, the "Great Derivation Divine Light Sword," merely a Tier Four Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, could not harm the White Bone General with skeleton hardness akin to a Tier Five Artifact.

However, once the Flying Swords were imbued with "Qianyang True Flame," they were sufficient to break through the White Bone General’s defenses.

A series of "ding-ding-dang-dang" metal clashes sounded in the air. Under the repeated attacks of the nine sword rainbows forming the "Nine Palace Sword Array," the White Bone General’s strategy to approach Zhouyang was completely thwarted.

Every time its pure white, jade-like Hundred Tempered Jade Bone was hit by the Flying Swords with "Qianyang True Flame," it left a scorched mark.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be too concerning. It could simply leverage the Demonic Qi filling the Demon Realm Grotto Heaven to cleanse and repair the scorched marks on its Demon Body.

But each time the "Qianyang True Flame" touched it, a fiery force attempted to seep into its marrow, aiming to damage its painstakingly forged White Bone Dao Foundation.

This was something it could absolutely not tolerate.

Bone Demons differ from Corpse Demons and Evil Ghosts in that the path they ultimately pursue is death followed by resurrection.

If a Golden Core Stage White Bone General needs to, it can temporarily grow flesh on its bones to possess a flesh body.

But a Nascent Soul Stage White Bone Demon King can truly grow flesh on bone and resurrect!

It is said that if a Bone Demon advances to a Tier Seven True Demon, it can fully reincarnate from death, condensing a Supreme True Demon Body and become a living being!

Therefore, a Bone Demon, especially a Golden Core Stage White Bone General, would never willingly let its Dao Foundation be damaged unless absolutely necessary, as it would affect its future resurrection.

After taking several dozen blows from Zhouyang and realizing it couldn’t reach him to deliver a fatal strike, it immediately retreated by flapping its bone wings, hovering thousands of feet away and staring at Zhouyang from afar.

"You... should... die!"

The White Bone General’s bony jaws opened and closed, a hoarse, broken voice emerging like a rusty gong, while the ghostly green Soul Fire in its eye sockets seemed almost ready to burst out.

"Kekekeke, old bones, are you angry too? Then what are you waiting for? Let this kid taste the power of your Bone Demon Divine Techniques!"

The voice of the Golden Core Stage Ghost General sounded once again, filled with a sinister intent, trying to compel the White Bone General to charge ahead and test Zhouyang’s true abilities.

Being inherently deceitful, the Golden Core Stage Ghost General, having lived countless years, had treachery ingrained into its nature, and wouldn’t expose itself to attack unless absolutely necessary.

"You... shut... up!"

The White Bone General glanced up at the sky full of ghostly shadows, the ghostly green Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickering, pouring out a wave of revulsion and anger.

Clearly, though these two demons co-occupied this mountain peak, their relationship was far from harmonious.

If not for the common enemy, Zhouyang, they might have fought each other first.

Seeing this situation, Zhouyang’s expression changed slightly, thinking if he could use this to make his escape.

However, before he could turn his thoughts into action, the White Bone General struck again.

"White... Bone... Hell!"

The deep voice slowly emanated from the White Bone General’s mouth, and then it slammed its pair of bony beast claws onto the ground.

In an instant, Zhouyang’s surroundings transformed. The originally dark, gloomy mountain ghost lair turned into a hellish cage constructed of endless white bones.
