The Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast was incredibly powerful. Even at his peak, Thoublade wouldn’t have been a match for it, let alone now, when his World-in-Hand had just been restored and his strength had been severely weakened.
“Hurry, get into World-in-Hand!” he quickly called out.
The others snapped to attention, but the surrounding spatial confinement made it impossible to enter.
“Damn it, die!” Highshield roared as he swung the chain on the ground, lashing it fiercely at the Bone Devouring Beast.
“You’re overestimating yourself!” A booming voice echoed as the Bone Devouring Beast spoke, swinging its massive claws and effortlessly knocking the chain aside. The claws continued on, striking Highshield directly.
Boom!
Highshield had no time to react. He spat out blood and was sent flying, crashing into the blood sea, badly injured.
“Damn!” Thoublade gritted his teeth as he watched this, and with a roar, he charged at the Bone Devouring Beast, swinging his long knife.
John summoned all seven of his Golden Wheels of Laws, launching them toward the beast.
Clang!
The violent collision sent sparks flying as the long knife struck the Bone Devouring Beast, but the scales didn’t even break.
The Bone Devouring Beast sneered, swinging its massive claw and knocking Thoublade flying.
Boom, boom…
Thunderous booms echoed as John controlled the seven Golden Wheels of Laws, crashing them down.
The Bone Devouring Beast took a single step back, completely unharmed.
“Besides Seed of Fire, all of you will die!” the Bone Devouring Beast roared, its massive body charging forward.
“Heaven and Earth Transformation!” John didn’t hesitate. He positioned the others behind him and activated Heaven and Earth Transformation, transforming into a giant towering over the battlefield.
Thud!
The massive claw slammed down, tearing his giant body apart.
[You were killed by the Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast. Lifesaver talent activated.]
The prompt flickered. Golden light surrounded him, and his face turned pale as his soul was wounded.
Despair filled his expression. The Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast was far too terrifying. He wasn’t strong enough to resist it right now.
“Thoublade, strike!” Thoublade shouted angrily. Thousands of massive blades howled through the air, slashing toward the Bone Devouring Beast.
Without hesitation, the others unleashed their strongest attacks.
The power of laws surged, cold light flickered, and Three Thousand Threads of Affection circled, instantly overwhelming the massive body of the Bone Devouring Beast.
Boom, boom…
The sound of explosions reverberated through the air as boundless energy dissipated. The form of the Bone Devouring Beast reappeared, completely unharmed.
Aside from John and Thoublade, who were barely able to injure it, the others couldn’t break through its defenses at all.
The group stared at the scene, swallowing nervously in fear.
“Die!” the Bone Devouring Beast roared as it charged toward them once again.
Boom!
As expected, John was instantly killed again, and his Undying and Immortal talent was triggered for the second time.
The others were also affected, coughing up blood and being sent flying, narrowly avoiding death.
Boom, boom…
The space trembled as the Bone Devouring Beast gave them no time to recover. Its sharp claws howled as they tore through the space, descending on them.
“Damn it!” John gritted his teeth, his expression resolute. He unleashed all seven Golden Wheels of Laws, charging them fiercely at the beast.
“Explode!” Without hesitation, he triggered the self-destruction of the Golden Wheels of Laws.
The Golden Wheels could be destroyed and reformed, but if they died, everything would be over.
Boom, boom…
The terrifying explosions echoed through the air, sending massive waves crashing through the space. The Sea of Laws trembled, and boundless energy surged, sending the Bone Devouring Beast flying into the blood sea.
“Cough!” John coughed up blood, his face turning pale.
The seven Golden Wheels of Laws were completely destroyed, and his soul was severely backlash, leaving him seriously injured.
Splash!
The blood sea churned, and before the group could even catch their breath, the Bone Devouring Beast charged once again.
Its scales were shattered, blood pouring from its body, furious beyond measure.
“A mere weak insect dares to hurt me? Die!” it roared, unleashing overwhelming pressure, crushing the space as its massive claws slammed down.
Boom!
[You were killed by the Nine-Star Emperor Bone Devouring Beast. Lifesaver talent activated.]
The prompt flashed, and John was killed once more. He resurrected on the spot, his body swaying unsteadily.
“Senior, is there any other way?” He looked to Thoublade, asking.
He had used all his methods—destroying the White Jade City, self-destructing the Golden Wheels of Laws—and yet, all he had done was wound the Bone Devouring Beast. It wasn’t even close to being a real threat.
At this point, Thoublade was also in a dire situation, his long knife barely holding him up. Desperation filled his eyes as he shook his head and gritted his teeth. “There’s only one last option.”
John’s heart skipped a beat as he guessed what Thoublade was planning. He immediately tried to stop him. “No!”
Whoosh!
The blood sea surged as the heavily wounded Highshield burst out from the depths.
“Kid, avenge my father and kill Kaos and Abyss!” he shouted, charging at the Bone Devouring Beast. The chain in his hand lashed out, wrapping around the beast.
“Heavenly Domain Chain!”
Clang, clang…
The sound of clashing chains echoed as the Bone Devouring Beast was tightly bound.
The Heavenly Domain Chain, a Heavenly Treasure, could momentarily trap the Bone Devouring Beast.
“No!” John realized what Highshield was planning and rushed to stop him, but it was already too late.
Highshield tightly gripped the Bone Devouring Beast’s massive claw, a terrifying aura surging around him.
“Die!” he roared, without hesitation, he initiated his self-destruction.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, the space shook violently, and a towering wave of blood surged, engulfing John and the others.
Roar…
A painful, enraged howl echoed as the massive body of the Bone Devouring Beast fell into the blood sea, consumed by the roiling waters.
Splash.
The rusted chain dropped before John.
He clenched his fists, his expression cold, staring intently at the churning blood sea.
John had always been wary of Highshield, but he never expected that in the end, the man would choose to self-destruct to save them, wiping out his Divine Soul and completely perishing.
Boom!
The blood surged, and the massive body of the Bone Devouring Beast reappeared.
Now, one of its arms was severed, its flesh bloodied and torn. It was severely injured.
Highshield’s self-destruction wasn’t enough to kill it; instead, it had only enraged it further.
“A group of ants, you will all die!” it roared in fury, charging forward once again. The powerful laws of its body surged, its claws swinging as it tore through space. Endless cold light engulfed the group.
Pfft…
Blood splattered, and John was instantly killed once more.
Thoublade stood at the forefront, half of his body obliterated, his breath weak.
“Kid, it’s my turn. You must protect Merciless and Leisian. This is the promise I made to someone else, and it can only be fulfilled by you.” He spoke softly, looking at Merciless and Leisian, a faint smile on his lips. He grabbed the nearby chain and charged toward the Bone Devouring Beast.
“Master!”
“Senior, no!”
Merciless and John shouted, trying to stop him, but it was already too late.
Whoosh!
The chain wrapped around the Bone Devouring Beast once again as Thoublade’s broken body rushed toward it.
“Damn you, get away!” the Beast roared, its expression full of terror as it struggled with all its might.
Highshield’s self-destruction had already severely wounded it, and Thoublade’s strength was now even greater. If he self-destructed, the Beast knew it would face a dire end.
“Die!” Thoublade’s expression was icy and resolute. He gripped the chain tightly, a terrifying aura enveloping him, and then exploded.
Whoosh!
The space hummed, and a terrifying wave of energy surged through, causing the blood sea to boil. The surrounding corpses were instantly obliterated, and the space trembled violently.
John was shocked. He quickly activated Diamond Body Protection, using his massive form to shield the others.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion shook the laws themselves. John felt an overwhelming force hit him, and his giant body was sent flying uncontrollably.
[You were killed by Thoublade’s self-destruction. Lifesaver talent activated.]
The prompt flashed. Thoublade’s self-destruction was far more powerful than Highshield’s. Even the residual force immediately killed John.
Fortunately, he absorbed most of the power, and although the others were affected, they were not fatally harmed.
The monstrous blood surged.
The group watched this scene with sorrowful expressions.
In such a short time, Highshield and Thoublade had fallen one after another.
Whoosh…
The wind howled as from the boiling blood sea, a massive form emerged—the Bone Devouring Beast was still not dead.
At this moment, its body was covered in blood, its flesh torn to shreds. A huge hole appeared in its chest, with blood flowing out in torrents.
That wound had been caused by Thoublade’s self-destruction.
“Bastards! You will all die!” it roared, its anger uncontrollable as it charged toward John and the others once again.
“Damn it, Dragon Transformation!” John’s anger flared. A resounding dragon’s roar echoed across the world, and golden light surrounded him as he transformed into a massive divine dragon.
Whoosh…
The colossal dragon’s body coiled around the Bone Devouring Beast.
“Get away!” the beast roared, its body shaking. Despite having suffered from two self-destructions, its strength had been greatly diminished, and it couldn’t break free from John.
“Die!” John bellowed, and his massive dragon claw pierced into the gaping wound, twisting and thrashing wildly.
Roar…
The Bone Devouring Beast howled in pain, tumbling into the blood sea, writhing violently.
The blood churned as the two massive creatures grappled and fought.
Terrifying energy roiled around them, and the group had no choice but to retreat repeatedly, moving to the edge of the space.
“Ten Thousand Bones!” a roar rang out, and the Bone Devouring Beast suddenly broke free from John’s grasp. Countless bone spikes erupted from its body, instantly piercing through the divine dragon’s tough scales.
[You were killed by the Bone Devouring Beast. Undying and Immortal talent activated.]
The prompt flickered. John had died more than ten times already, but he resurrected on the spot, disregarding his injuries, and continued attacking.
Whoosh!
The Four Extermination Swords shot forward, filled with terrifying murderous intent. Endless cold light flashed, enveloping the Bone Devouring Beast and relentlessly shredding it.
The repeated self-destructions had already severely injured the Beast. Its scales were shattered, unable to block John’s sword attacks, and its injuries worsened instantly.
“Dragon Soul Storm!” John roared, launching a soul attack.
A dragon’s roar echoed, causing the Bone Devouring Beast to freeze in place.
John’s soul attack couldn’t kill it, but it temporarily disoriented the creature.
Boom, boom!
The space trembled as John summoned the Law Tree and The Immortals’ legacy sword, unleashing all his methods and bombarding the Bone Devouring Beast relentlessly.
“Roar…”
A howl of agony echoed as blood flooded the area. The massive form of the Bone Devouring Beast crashed into the blood sea, its aura faint, its life hanging by a thread.
The repeated self-destructions had brought it to the brink of death. Now, it was no longer a match for John.
“Human, the Creator Gods will not spare you,” it said, glaring at John with defiance in its eyes, its roar full of unwillingness.
“Hmph, you won’t live to see that day,” John sneered as he wielded The Immortals’ legacy sword, bringing it down with a mighty strike.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, and the enormous head of the Bone Devouring Beast rolled away.
