Xu Hei could never have imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that Xiao Chou, the old friend he had saved years ago, who had survived countless hardships, would meet such an end—dying by his hand!

Xu Hei's face was devoid of any expression.

The so-called "tempering the heart in the mortal world" means severing ties with the mundane, abandoning the joys and sorrows of mortals, and henceforth viewing things from an immortal's perspective, maintaining absolute rationality and logic!

Throughout his journey, Xu Hei had witnessed the deaths of many acquaintances, those who had traveled with him, visited high-class brothels with him, drank with him; his heart had long ceased to stir.

He had almost succeeded in severing ties with the mortal world, achieving the heart of an immortal.

But at this moment, he couldn't control the fury within.

"Is this amusing to you?"

His voice, cold as thunder, swept in all directions, causing the entire palace to collapse instantly, turning into dust, completely shattered.

Xu Hei's vast Divine Sense surged out like a tsunami, instantly locking onto a distant mountain, the stronghold of the White Bone Sect.

Tonight, anyone who stands in my way will die!

As Xu Hei stepped into the mountain gate of the White Bone Sect, his Divine Sense had already locked onto the white-bearded elder hiding in the back mountain, who was crouching within a formation underground, smirking as he watched Xu Hei from afar.

"Honored senior, please hold your step!"

A disciple guarding the mountain flew out, attempting to stop him, but Xu Hei swept him away with a single sword strike, decapitating him and the group behind him, their headless bodies ground into powder by the sword light.

"An enemy has invaded, everyone be on alert!"

A warning bell echoed throughout the White Bone Sect.

In an instant, countless cultivators surged from all directions, the sect's protective formation activated, and the sky was filled with figures—all cultivators of the White Bone Sect.

Disciples and elders arranged themselves in layers, surrounding Xu Hei completely.

"Pathetic."

Xu Hei glanced around; the overall strength of the White Bone Sect was only slightly stronger than the Heavenly Puppet Sect of the Qin Kingdom back in the day. There were about a dozen Elemental Infant cultivators, but without a Divine Transformation cultivator, no one could stop him.

However, Xu Hei noticed that each elder of the White Bone Sect had identical replicas standing beside them, appearing to be puppets or External Incarnations, but upon closer inspection, they were all living people.

Each elder had a duplicate.

Some even had two or three.

These duplicates possessed cultivation, created through the use of resources.

"What is the meaning of this intrusion into our sect, killing our disciples?"

"Please give an explanation, or you won't leave here today!"

Two figures, one black and one white, stepped forward—these were the strongest fighters of the White Bone Sect, the Yin-Yang Immortals, identical in appearance, both created as replicas.

"I want to kill someone; anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Without another word, Xu Hei charged towards the location of the white-bearded elder.

The White Bone Sect couldn't possibly let Xu Hei have his way; the Yin-Yang Immortals immediately activated a formation, the Yin-Yang energies converging to form a double-fish pattern, halting Xu Hei's advance as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to move.

"Get out of my way!"

Xu Hei slashed with his sword, striking the formation, but the Yin-Yang Double Fish Formation trembled violently, a force of equal strength rebounding towards Xu Hei, leaving a sword mark on his chest, injured by his own Sword Qi.

"Rebound?"

Xu Hei narrowed his eyes. The Yin-Yang Immortals stood in front, saying, "Don't think that just because your cultivation is high, you can bully us. At the late Elemental Infant stage, you can't run wild in our White Bone Sect!"

"Activate the White Bone Formation!"

The Yin-Yang Immortals clapped their hands, and all the cultivators present sat cross-legged. The entire world trembled, the void cracked, and a white bone deity statue extended its arm from the void, grabbing fiercely at Xu Hei.

The White Bone Sect, ranked among the top three powerful sects across the hundred nations of the Central Divine Continent, had ambitions of dominating the hundred nations, relying on their own strength.

However, in the face of Xu Hei, a core disciple of the Divine Puppet Sect, they were still lacking.

Without a Divine Transformation cultivator, Xu Hei was invincible!

Facing the overwhelming white bone claw, Xu Hei didn't use the Golden Lotus Law; a flash of insight crossed his mind, recalling a phrase he had written.

Immediately, Xu Hei activated the Demon God Cauldron, unleashing devour!

"Boom!!"

Centered around Xu Hei, an unprecedented super devouring storm erupted within a hundred-mile radius, all the Spiritual Qi in the world rushing madly into Xu Hei's body.

Xu Hei had experience dealing with the White Bone Sect; simple methods wouldn't work, he needed to transfer the Spiritual Qi!

In an instant, countless Spiritual Qi converged into Xu Hei's body, whether it was the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth or the Spiritual Qi within the cultivators, all uncontrollably leaving their bodies, flying towards Xu Hei.

"Not good! This is the power of a law!"

The Yin-Yang Immortals' faces changed drastically, as if they had seen a ghost.

This wasn't an ordinary late Elemental Infant stage cultivator, but a half-step Divine Transformation who had comprehended a law!

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Even the white bone ghost claw extending from the void split apart midway, transforming into pure streams of Spiritual Qi, absorbed into Xu Hei's body.

Spiritual Qi doesn't birth or vanish, it only transfers!

This was Xu Hei's realization, Xu Hei's Dao, Xu Hei's law!

The laws of Divine Transformation cultivators are also ranked, and while the Golden Lotus Law is terrifying enough, it is still a level lower compared to Xu Hei's law.

Although it was just an embryonic form, once this law was unleashed, it displayed a devouring-the-heavens-and-earth stance, sweeping through the White Bone Sect in the blink of an eye!

"Ah!!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"Senior, stop!"

Various screams echoed within the White Bone Sect, all the cultivators who came to participate in the formation, their flesh and blood withered and separated, their Spiritual Qi extracted and flown into Xu Hei's body.

The sect's protective formation, which contained a trace of the law's power, the Heaven and Earth Reversal Formation, could rebound power, but under Xu Hei's suppression, it couldn't display any power.

This was the suppression of laws!

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the protective formation collapsed, the White Bone Sect was in disarray, with countless casualties.

Xu Hei's figure flashed, stepping over the piles of corpses, charging towards the white-bearded elder who was preparing to escape. He burrowed underground, through the earth veins, reaching out across the void to grab the white-bearded elder, the devouring power erupting once more, freezing his form, uncontrollably pulling him back.

"Old man, did you find it amusing to toy with me? Today, I'll drain your Spiritual Qi and annihilate your entire sect!"

Xu Hei's face was as calm as water, the Demon God Cauldron pushed to its limit; he not only wanted to kill this elder but also to massacre the entire sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, stop! That junior isn't dead, it's all a misunderstanding!" the white-bearded elder shouted.
