CHAPTER 682: CHAPTER 415: CONFRONTING THE BONE SOVEREIGN (PART 2)

The Bone Sovereign raised the skeleton scepter in his hand, summoning the surrounding undead skeletons to gather, forming a skeletal army of over a thousand behind him.

"Then let’s get to it!" Lu Heng said, drawing out the Aurora Blade and instantly unleashing the weapon skill [Dragon Breath Slash].

Roar!

The shadow of a Purgatory Sub-Dragon appeared, spewing flames that covered the fan-shaped area in front.

The flames engulfed forward, and the Bone Sovereign raised a skeleton scepter, opening a black fog shield to resist the dragon flames.

The skeletons on either side behind him, lacking shields, were ignited by the dragon flames. They did not let out any cries of pain, slowly collapsing in the inferno, turning into ashes.

Immediately after.

Terres shot out like a sword radiance, unleashing the Wind Dragon Breathless Slash with Dragon’s Tooth.

Roar!

Howling winds formed the Wind Dragon, battering the Bone Sovereign’s black fog shield, shredding it instantly, lifting the Bone Sovereign to the sky, where the Tornado Blade rampaged, tearing apart the black fog, causing it to swirl in chaos.

The Bone Sovereign waved the skeleton scepter in hand, his figure flashing out from the whirlwind, landing heavily on the ground, and the scepter hammered into the earth.

Bang!

At the moment when the scepter hit the ground, the earth shook violently.

In an instant.

The ground quaked, the sky seemed to fall, and the earth collapsed.

The ground split into chasms, bottomless and deep.

Seeing this, everyone immediately raised their alertness, worried that terrifying skeletal creatures would emerge from below.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations.

No giant skeletal creature climbed out from the underground. The ground beneath the Bone Sovereign cracked, sinking downward, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the underground chasm.

After the skirmish, Terres realized that the Bone Sovereign indeed exuded a powerful demigod-level aura, but his combat power wasn’t as formidable as expected.

Probably due to the demigod rank characteristics, most of the demigod power was allocated to controlling skeletal creatures, and the body’s combat power wasn’t as pronounced.

After a swift assessment, Terres saw an opportunity to harm the Bone Sovereign and immediately dived downwards, pursuing the Bone Sovereign into the underground chasm.

Lu Heng, seeing that Terres had rushed underground, quickly followed, diving into the underground chasm while shouting, "Quick! Lock onto the target’s position, don’t let him escape."

The Qingluan Divine Bird had also dashed into the underground chasm, using Perception to lock onto the location of the Bone Sovereign.

Yet, after entering the underground chasm, something seemed off.

The chasm leading underground was connected to a cavern, surprisingly forming a vast underground labyrinth without any pattern.

The Bone Sovereign moved quickly within the labyrinth, vanishing from sight in no time.

"Did we lose him?" Lu Heng loudly inquired.

"Qingluan is still tracking the black fog’s aura, but the labyrinth’s terrain is too complicated. Even if we know the location, catching up is very challenging." Su Muyu concentrated on controlling the Qingluan Divine Bird, continuing to pursue the Bone Sovereign’s position, but just because the Qingluan Divine Bird could keep up didn’t mean others could.

"Leave a trail of flames, Terres and I can follow." With Gale beneath his feet, Lu Heng alongside Terres sped through the underground labyrinth, darting through caverns.

When columns blocked their path, they simply cut them down with a sword strike, continuing without a pause.

The Qingluan Divine Bird emitted flames while moving forward, burning the cave walls along the way, leaving traces as tracking marks.

Lu Heng and Terres pursued these flame marks, maintaining their pursuit of the Bone Sovereign.

After tracking for more than half an hour in the underground labyrinth, the Qingluan Divine Bird suddenly halted up ahead.

Su Muyu’s voice came from the Communication Treasure Pearl, "The target is lost. He used Space Movement."

The intricate underground caverns, combined with the ability for Space Movement, made it impossible for even the Qingluan Divine Bird to keep up.

Having chased to this point, Lu Heng found it odd that the Bone Sovereign had been fleeing, avoiding frontal combat. This shouldn’t be how a demigod behaves.

But now there was no time to ponder these thoughts. Having tracked for so long, to lose him now would mean wasting too much time.

Lu Heng immediately asked, "Lin Zeyu, who has the Mark?"

"Of course, the Bone Sovereign."

"Where is he?"

"Still underground, much deeper, approximately three to four thousand meters. And he’s stopped moving." Lin Zeyu closed his eyes, observing the location of the Demon Hunter Mark, calculating the distance.

"Mu Yu, find a way down." Just as Lu Heng finished speaking, Terres by his side had already swung his sword to slash through space, using Space Continuous Slash to traverse downward.

Lu Heng’s Space Continuous Slash wasn’t refined to Terres’ level, but he had other means to follow, directly initiating [Shadow Traversal], diving into the ground to pursue downward.

According to Lin Zeyu’s estimation, the Bone Sovereign was about three to four thousand meters underground.

This depth is quite exaggerated; an ordinary Transcendent couldn’t pursue so deep underground.

Only Lu Heng and Terres possessed such capability.

Terres cleaved through the space repeatedly, forcefully using Space Continuous Slash to descend thousands of meters underground.

Lu Heng didn’t lag behind, with the dual acceleration of Wind God Step and Shadow Traversal, his extreme speed approached three times the speed of sound.

Three to four thousand meters of depth could be crossed in just a few seconds.

With Shadow Vision, when Lu Heng traversed to a depth of 3500 meters, he saw the appearance of crimson lava below.

At a depth close to four thousand meters underground, there was a vast underground space, with boiling lava at the bottom.

At this moment, the Bone Sovereign was standing on a rock surrounded by lava, waving the skeleton scepter, chanting ancient spells.

Lu Heng and Terres almost simultaneously arrived at the magma cavern, landing on the rock, releasing Source Energy to resist the searing heat of the lava.

Just as the two landed, the Bone Sovereign suddenly turned, waving the skeleton scepter in hand, and an angry roar echoed from behind.

A colossal figure emerged from the lava, reaching out a hand toward Lu Heng and Terres.

Lu Heng and Terres immediately leaped back to the sides, taking advantage of the lava’s glow to see clearly what was climbing out of the lava.

To their surprise, it was a Molten Lava Demon, wrapped in heavy Abyssal Aura.

This indicated that the Molten Lava Demon should have already been dead, now reanimated by the Bone Sovereign.

At this moment, Lu Heng finally realized that the Bone Sovereign came underground not to escape, but to awaken the Molten Lava Demon beneath.

The Molten Lava Demon and Flame Demon possessed similar power yet differed slightly.

Flame Demons are purer flame attribute elemental creatures, whereas Molten Lava Demons are dual-attribute, combining fire and earth.

Bang!

The Molten Lava Demon slammed at Lu Heng again, shaking rocks and lava from the cave walls downward.

Terres glanced back at Lu Heng, loudly asking, "Can you handle the Molten Lava Demon alone?"

Lu Heng quickly assessed the combat power of the Molten Lava Demon, answering, "Yes."

"Great, leave the Molten Lava Demon to you." Terres said as he dashed past the Molten Lava Demon, charging toward the Bone Sovereign.

"I’ll help you after I deal with the Molten Lava Demon." Lu Heng promised, then began gathering strength, unleashing a Wind Dragon Breathless Slash infused with Rift Sword Radiance at the Molten Lava Demon.

Roar!

The Rift Wind Dragon emerged, smashing into the Molten Lava Demon, tearing its body into fragments of lava, scattering everywhere.

However, after the Molten Lava Demon’s body exploded, the scattered lava slowly converged, reforming its shape, and it raised a hand to strike at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng continued to evade, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

...

On the other side.

Terres spared no effort, advancing to close quarters with the Bone Sovereign, leaving him no chance to escape, exerting his full strength in a Space Continuous Slash, targeting with Traceless Sword Intent, and the Dragon’s Tooth struck with full might.

Rumble!

A sound of space shattering echoed as the Bone Sovereign broke through the void to dodge.

Terres slashed through the space again, reappearing in front of him.

Both moved back and forth several times, and finally, Terres’ sword pierced into the Bone Sovereign’s body, black fog bursting instantly.
