Chapter 944: Chapter 171: Restriction Unlocked, The Ruins Open_2

Xiaojia felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing Zhou Xun’s praise,

"As long as the master is pleased!"

After finishing his tasting, Zhou Xun turned his attention back to the relics.

"Xiaojia, you mentioned the restriction on the relics is about to be completely breached. Do you know how much longer it will take?"

Xiaojia pondered for a moment and said, "Master, according to my observations, at most, it will take another half a year for the restriction to be fully broken."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded,

"Xiaojia, for the following period, continue monitoring the movements of Bai and the others. If anything changes, notify me immediately!"

"Yes!"

After Xiaojia left, Zhou Xun immediately began to plan secretly in his heart,

He needed to make ample preparations within the next half year,

As the Divinity Transformation relics are bound to contain numerous opportunities, but also accompanied by many dangers.

More importantly, he had to guard against Master Hundred Bones,

Although he verbally agreed last time to share the treasures from the relics with him, when it comes to Divinity Transformation opportunities, who would willingly yield?

And last time he had already revealed almost all of his trump cards, Master Hundred Bones must have made some preparations,

"It seems I must employ means that Master White Bone would never expect."

...

At the same time, in White Bone Mountain

Deep inside an unknown cave,

An elderly man with a stern face and menacing gaze sat on a stone platform, with a white bone floating before him,

This person was none other than the Supreme Elder of White Bone Mountain, the True Monarch Hundred Bones feared in the outside world.

Under his control, it emitted a faint white light and began to undergo strange transformations,

Master Hundred Bones’ hands moved like phantoms, as obscure spells rapidly flew from his fingertips, shooting into the white bone.

As the spells continued to be infused, the white bone began to flicker with threads of ethereal light, and its form began to change,

Its limbs gradually extended, with the short finger bones and toe bones rapidly elongating, becoming as sharp as hooks, seemingly capable of tearing through space.

The spine twisted and reorganized section by section, making the entire skeleton taller and more robust, faintly emitting a chilling suppression.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, suddenly, Master Hundred Bones spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which transformed into a blood arrow and shot toward the white bone.

As soon as the essence blood touched the white bone, it quickly permeated inside, and in an instant, the light emitted by the white bone intensified, illuminating the entire cave as bright as daylight.

The white bone seemed to be infused with life, starting to shake violently, with every bone emitting "crack" sounds as if undergoing a metamorphosis and rebirth.

Its surface began to grow a layer of white bone plates, resembling an indestructible armor.

As time progressed, the aura of the white bone grew stronger, from Early-Stage Nascent Soul... Middle-Stage Nascent Soul...

Finally transforming to Late-Stage Nascent Soul!

Seeing his creation, Master Hundred Bones smiled with satisfaction.

"Finally, succeeded!"

While speaking, Master Hundred Bones waved toward his waist, and four white shadows flew out, landing in front and transforming into four different-looking bone zombies,

Together with the original figure, there were a total of five!

Even more terrifying was that the aura emitted by these five bone zombies seemed to be at the Late-Stage Nascent Soul level!

Master Hundred Bones quickly sealed with his hands, chanting incantations.

With his movements, the aura around the five bone zombies began to resonate,

The previously individually emitted sinister chill now blended and converged, forming a more magnificent and terrifying aura,

Transforming into a white storm, swirling relentlessly within the cave, with the restrictions on the cave walls suddenly glowing, beginning to fully resist,

The place where Master Hundred Bones secluded himself was the most core area of White Drum Mountain, and its restriction arrays were all at Tier Four High-Grade level.

That the restriction light here was flickering was a testament to their might,

In the next moment, the five bone zombies moved simultaneously under Master Hundred Bones’ command.

The bone zombies flashed like white lightning, directly leaping across space, instantly appearing on the other side of the cave,

With arms swinging like sharp blades, the air burst with continuous explosions, as if even space was causing ripples,

Simultaneously attacking from top, bottom, front, and both sides,

If anyone were present, under such an assault, there would likely be no possibility of resistance!

Then, Master Hundred Bones changed the spell,

The five bone zombies frenziedly concentrated their aura, simultaneously raising their right arms, pointing forward, as the majestic white energy gathered in front at terrifying speed.

Ultimately converging together,

In the blink of an eye, a five-feet-wide white pillar of light soared into the sky.

With the momentum of destroying the heavens and obliterating the earth, it struck toward the cave’s ceiling, where space twisted,

Then, just as the pillar of light was about to collide with the cave roof,

A blue light appeared, transforming into a light curtain, which was the restriction array within the cave, reaching the high level of Tier Four High-Grade,

However, in the next moment, an astonishing sight occurred,

Upon collision, the array’s light flashed suddenly, bright and dim, and then quickly extinguished, the light curtain displaying a web-like crack,

Then, like a shattered mirror, it fell apart, followed by a booming sound, breaking into fragments and dissipating into a shower of light.

The remaining momentum of the light pillar struck the cave ceiling, causing it to shake violently, the sturdy ceiling crumbling like debris, rocks falling, dust flying, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

Master Hundred Bones was shocked at the combined strength of the five bone zombies, then fell into ecstasy,

The restrictions in his cave were not just one, even if he acted personally, it would take him a whole hour of effort to break the restriction,

Yet these five bone zombies only needed one combined attack, demonstrating their power!

"My ’Five Sons United Demon’ has finally been successfully refined!"

Master Hundred Bones’ face was filled with ecstatic joy,

"Zhou Xun, I must thank you, if you hadn’t taken my Profound Bone King, I wouldn’t have been unable to decide to refine anew,"

"And wouldn’t have been able to truly succeed in this ’Five Sons United Demon’!"

"Rest assured, inside the relics, I will properly thank you, haha!"

Just then, a firelight suddenly flew into the cave from outside, hovering above the cave, sensing this, the old man’s eyes suddenly opened, emitting two rays of sharp light,

With a gesture, the firelight transformed into a sound transmission talisman, falling into his hand.

Listening closely, it was his son Bai Yu coming to pay respects,

So, he spread his robe, instantly storing the skeletal figure into his waist pouch, then transmitted outside:

"Come in!"

After a short while, a young man wearing a white brocade robe walked in, it was Bai Yu.

Upon seeing the elder, Bai Yu bowed deeply:

"Greetings Supreme Elder!"

"What brings you here?" True Monarch Hundred Bones asked indifferently, without showing any joy he felt earlier.

Although it was a normal question, it landed in the young man’s ears with a weight of a thousand pounds.

"Reporting to the Elder, after years of exploration, the restrictions around the relics can be fully broken in at most half a year, I’ve come to report!"

Bai Yu said warily.

Regarding his father, he felt both awe and fear, even in normal encounters, he addressed him by title.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Hundred Bones nodded,

"I understand, when the breach is almost complete, come to report again!"

"Yes, Grand Elder!" Bai Yu nodded.

"Oh, is Zhou Xun still in Jiangling Prefecture?" the elder continued to ask.

"Reporting to the Elder, Zhou Xun, except for going out every two years, basically stays in the Jiangling Prefecture Cave Mansion, never appearing?" Bai Yu replied respectfully.

"As for his departures, we have detected that he goes to Jinyuan Pavilion, but we have not yet found his objective!"

"Good, keep watching!" the elder slightly nodded, instructing with a word!

Then Bai Yu made a salute and left.

After he had departed, the elder’s face showed a cold expression, softly saying:

"Zhou Xun, next, this old man will settle the score with you!"

Soon, half a year passed,

Deep in Jiangling Prefecture, at the relics,

Bai Yu and that middle-aged man surnamed Wu were manipulating something, following the last restriction being unlocked, a quaint stone gate appeared before them,

"Finally, it’s completely unlocked!"

At the same time, a figure stepped into the teleportation array in White Bone Mountain,

At Wangchuan Lake Cave Mansion, a handsome young man’s expression shifted, putting away the lotus flower floating before him, his form flashed, entering the teleportation array deep within the cave mansion!
