Chapter 343 - 322: Extermination

"Hehehe!"

"Outside, they only know that back when this Saint Ancestor commanded the Cultivation Realm, it was with the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror."

"Though the Hook Jade Golden Light Mirror’s power is tremendous, the price to pay is beyond what you can imagine."

"Little do they know, this ’Nine Nether Bone Fire Sword’ is truly my Lifebound Artifact."

Master White Bone held the Bone Sword, his aura surging, exuding an unparalleled imposing presence.

In an instant, the spiritual pressure in the grand hall directly challenged the Nascent Soul Great Power!

Causing Zhou Yu and Elder Hee Kang of Lihuo Palace to look utterly horrified.

"This aura... surpasses Golden Core Perfection."

Hee Kang’s expression was unpredictable, his mind already harboring thoughts of retreat.

Because the Top-Tier Artifact, Golden Dawn Sunburst Bead, he brought from Lihuo Palace, naturally restrained specters, yet was ineffective against Master White Bone—something he never anticipated.

And Master White Bone allowed them no time to react.

Boom!

He swung the Nine Nether Bone Fire Sword towards Hee Kang!

In an instant, an inexplicable force sealed the entire space of the grand hall.

In the air, countless white bone flames appeared, pulling out thousands upon thousands of threads.

As if the void was being sliced open by fiery Sword Qi.

Hee Kang produced a simple blue talisman, emitting spiritual power of Tier Three Top-Grade level, and without hesitation, slapped it on himself.

The next moment, a blue barrier formed around him.

Slash!

"Ah!!!"

The barrier shattered, blood splattered.

An arm flew out, then was frozen and devoured by the white bone fire, falling into Master White Bone’s mouth.

Master White Bone extended his tongue, licking the blood at the corner of his mouth, showing an expression of extreme enjoyment.

Hee Kang looked terrified, his life-saving measures proved in vain against the opponent’s single sword strike.

"Junior Brother Zhou, there’s something wrong with this Master White Bone."

"Prepare to retreat, use those from the Southern Wilderness behind us to hold off for a moment."

Hee Kang now understood the power disparity between himself and Master White Bone.

He hurriedly transmitted a message to Zhou Yu in secret.

Zhou Yu also realized, understanding Senior Brother Hee Kang’s intention to use Qingxuan and Wei Wuya as shields to buy time to escape.

Wei Wuya and Elder Qingxuan were astonished by the scene just now.

Even Golden Core Perfection cultivation of Hee Kang couldn’t withstand a single strike from the opponent.

The strength of this Master White Bone, how terrifying it must be!

So many Golden Cores present, yet couldn’t take him down.

Zhou Yu received the transmission from Hee Kang, hesitated for a moment, then shouted to Qingxuan and the others:

"Friends, attack together!"

Elder Qingxuan and the others thought Lihuo Palace’s two Upper Envoys must have some unbelievable trump card unused.

Upon receiving the directive.

They immediately exerted all their efforts, pouring mana into their respective artifacts, preparing for a desperate fight.

But when the three reached Master White Bone’s front.

They saw the two from Lihuo Palace shooting towards the hall’s entrance in the opposite direction!

Wei Wuya and the others did not expect, the two Upper Envoys from Lihuo Palace would make such a move.

The three realized they had been betrayed, immediately furious and dismayed.

But it was too late, the arrow was on the string.

Just as Wei Wuya and the three despaired, they saw Master White Bone’s Nine Nether Bone Fire Sword bypass them, striking at Hee Kang and another at the hall’s entrance!

Slash!

Stab!

A white flame thread was drawn in space.

At the hall’s entrance, Lihuo Palace’s two, in disarray, were again struck by Master White Bone’s sword.

...

...

Beyond the Tai Lake Ruins.

Golden Toad Ancestor revealed his true body, displaying full strength, transforming into a massive black giant toad spanning several tens of meters.

A scarlet tongue shot out like lightning, sweeping towards Qin Ming.

The long tongue generated sonic booms in the air.

While evading, Qin Ming’s gaze was sharp, his fingers closed, causing six Wood Emperor Nails to appear, then pointed at Golden Toad Ancestor.

Six strands of cyan brilliance vanished into the void.

Golden Toad Ancestor’s eyelid twitched, instantly sensing a terrifying feeling.

Knowing Qin Ming must have unleashed some formidable artifact, he dared not underestimate, directly condensing black armor upon his skin.

Then his powerful hind legs sprang into the air, dodging the Wood Emperor Nails’ attack.

Slash!

The Wood Emperor Nails appeared eerily beside Golden Toad Ancestor, two of them swiftly piercing through his gigantic body.

At the wound, it seemed like it was scalded by lava, emitting dense black smoke.

The aura of Golden Toad Ancestor immediately diminished, like a deflated ball.

His cultivation realm abruptly dropped to Tier Three Mid-Stage.

"Sun Essence Flame!"

Golden Toad Ancestor showed horror, finally panicked.

He recognized the formidable Sun Essence Flame on the Wood Emperor Nails, hit by them, clearly weakening his cultivation power.

Natural restraint against specters.

Qin Ming’s gaze chilled, unwilling to persist in battle with him.

"Strike while he’s vulnerable!"

His True Qi Blood Spirit erupted entirely, a hundred-meter cyan Flood Dragon appeared behind him.

Roar!

The cyan Flood Dragon’s eyes opened, fixing on Golden Toad Ancestor, flying up to attack.

"Celestial Demon Refining Form!"

"So it was you who killed the Cyan-faced Poison Flood Dragon!"

Golden Toad Ancestor stared at the cyan dragon’s image, his mind lost grip, revealing disbelief in his eyes.

Qin Ming sneered, ignoring his reaction.

He lifted the cyan dragon claw to press down, instantly stirring up a tremendous force, even the void contorting.

Golden Toad Ancestor was struck by the Wood Emperor Nails, heavily injured, cultivation further crippled, suffered Qin Ming’s dragon claw fully, abdomen gouged open!

His soul body dimmed instantly.

"Young friend, earlier I was wrong, offended you too much, how about we stop here?"

"My master has fully awakened, offering the Treasure Mirror still gives you some leeway."

Golden Toad Ancestor weakly pleaded, trying to intimidate with Master White Bone, but Qin Ming was not easily deceived.

Qin Ming’s gaze showed disdain, a cold glint flashed through.

Dragon claw pressed down again, gripping the black giant toad’s head.

Then he exerted force, crushing Golden Toad Ancestor’s head!

Golden Toad Ancestor couldn’t even scream before his soul body began disintegrating.

Whoosh!

Within black mist, the last shred of Golden Toad’s divine soul fled in panic.

But at that moment.

Before him in the sky, a black profound light suddenly rose, sealing the entire void.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Heaven-Devouring Rat’s figure slowly appeared, targeting Golden Toad Ancestor’s fragmented soul with his steel fork, a black light shot out, instantly annihilating it.

Thus, Golden Toad Ancestor perished totally.

Heaven-Devouring Rat collected Golden Toad Ancestor’s storage pouch, and extracted a pitch-black Soul Pill from inside.

It looked slightly awkward as it approached Qin Ming, handing over the items, saying:

"Uh... Master, that dwarf got away."

"That old fool surprisingly had a Great Shift Talisman and didn’t hesitate to injure his Golden Core Origin to activate it."

"But, he should be badly damaged even if not dead."

Qin Ming took the items from it, then his gaze turned solemn looking towards Tai Lake’s direction.

Among these figures, aside from Golden Toad Ancestor, none truly mattered, determining the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm’s fate must lie within the underground palace.

Yet in silence, Qin Ming felt a foreboding omen arising within his heart.
