Chapter 2662 - 2661: Orderer, the Secret of the White Bone Holy Mother

Xu Zimei didn't hesitate in the slightest.

After shattering the White Bone, a terrifying power rippled out around him.

He stepped into the void with one foot and rose.

Then Cosmic Force surged through his body as he cleaved down with a single slash, cutting through the air toward the White Bone Holy Mother.

The White Bone Holy Mother's right hand likewise manifested a long spear.

This spear was different from the ones before.

Because its surface glowed with a blood-colored radiance.

"Bang—"

Tyrant Shadow collided with this Blood Spear.

The terrifying force made the surrounding void continuously collapse.

Xu Zimei had not expected the White Bone Holy Mother's power to be this formidable.

Vaguely, she was on par with him.

At this moment, Xu Zimei no longer held back at all.

His True Fate slowly manifested behind him.

A cerulean planet spanned the void, then came crashing down in fierce Suppression.

The White Bone Holy Mother stretched out her right hand, actually attempting to single-handedly lift the entire Divine Continent.

Unfortunately, she underestimated this planet's power—or rather, overestimated her own.

"Boom—"

A terrifying force of Suppression descended.

The White Bone Holy Mother's figure only stalled for a brief instant before being pinned motionless by the Divine Continent Star.

Immediately after, as Xu Zimei swept his great hand.

Countless Starry rivers poured down from the heavens.

A dense rain of stars swept in, like a deluge covering the sky and earth.

The White Bone Holy Mother simply had no time to dodge.

And these meteors were packed densely, the area they covered incomparably vast.

They could even follow the shifts of Xu Zimei's hand gestures to change direction.

So others were driven to the point of having nowhere at all to escape.

"Rumble, rumble."

The meteor rain crashed down again and again.

It completely shrouded the White Bone Holy Mother's figure.

The White Bone Holy Mother didn't even have time to evade.

When the meteor rain finished falling, there was practically no intact spot left on her body.

Xu Zimei drew Tyrant Shadow.

The blade tip pointed upward, endless Blade Intent surged like Purgatory itself, rising to Pierce the Heavens.

Then Xu Zimei swung the blade.

Heaven and earth fell utterly silent.

"Boom—"

The Blade Intent was like the flames of Purgatory, yet also like violet Heavenly Thunder.

It split the entire Firmament in two.

It directly cleaved the White Bone Holy Mother from head to toe, severing her completely in half.

Of course, Xu Zimei wasn't only killing the White Bone Holy Mother.

He was also searching for her Physical Body.

Like all the "strange beings," the White Bone Holy Mother appearing before him now was still in Divine Soul form.

If he didn't destroy the flesh, it would be very hard to truly kill her.

Seizing the moment while the White Bone Holy Mother was split in two and had yet to resurrect.

Xu Zimei followed the guidance of the Soul Seeking Art.

At last, he sensed the existence of the White Bone Holy Mother's flesh body.

Xu Zimei stepped into the void; in an instant he traversed a hundred thousand li.

Then he struck with one palm toward a certain portion of empty space.

A storm gathered around his palm, a powerful force churning everything.

That palm landed in the void, but the explosion and shattering of space he'd imagined did not occur.

Instead, Xu Zimei felt a terrifying force directly devour him.

The next moment, the void before Xu Zimei's eyes changed.

All around was a scarlet Hell.

Countless Wronged Souls condensed into substance around him, beginning to drift through the air.

A series of hair-raising howls rang out.

And encircling this scarlet Hell was a sea of fiery red lava.

Above the lava, White Bone formed into layer upon layer of steps.

On those steps, the White Bone Holy Mother's Physical Body sat there.

At this moment, the White Bone Holy Mother's flesh slowly opened its eyes.

She looked at Xu Zimei and smiled.

She said, "Daoist friend, now we can have a chat."

"What do you want to talk about?" Xu Zimei asked.

For the moment, the two of them were not clashing like before.

First, both acknowledged each other's strength.

Second, Xu Zimei understood that the White Bone Holy Mother had certainly not come out simply to avenge that old man.

At their level of cultivation, if it was just killing and fighting with no benefit at all.

Then it was utterly meaningless.

"If you help me attain liberation, I can agree to any condition you ask. How about it?" the White Bone Holy Mother said.

"Liberation? Liberation from what?" Xu Zimei asked with interest.

Earlier, when he'd chatted with that old man, the old man had liked to speak in riddles.

That had made Xu Zimei extremely annoyed.

If the White Bone Holy Mother started playing riddles with him again, he truly wouldn't want to keep talking.

So he spoke directly.

"Holy Mother, say what you have to say. I hope you won't keep talking in riddles."

"If there's no sincerity in negotiating, then there's no point in continuing this conversation."

At Xu Zimei's words, the White Bone Holy Mother smiled.

She waved her hand.

At once this boundless Hell began to transform.

Scene after scene appeared before Xu Zimei's eyes.

In each image, countless different strange beings appeared.

But they all shared one similarity: in front of each strange being stood a single figure.

The exact same figure.

That figure wore a black robe, shrouding its entire body within.

Xu Zimei hadn't expected the White Bone Holy Mother to show him such information-heavy images right away.

This figure's face was obscured.

It seemed like some sort of organization.

But in the depths of his mind, Xu Zimei had a feeling.

All these black-robed individuals should be the same person.

That meant that the secret behind each strange being's continued existence was tied to a single person.

"Do you know who it is?" Xu Zimei asked.

The White Bone Holy Mother shook her head slightly.

"You were enlightened by him as well, yet never saw his face?"

"I couldn't see it clearly. His features weren't deliberately hidden, yet no matter what I do, I can't remember them."

The White Bone Holy Mother replied.

"But when I was first enlightened and awakened, I vaguely heard three words."

"Orderer."

Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

Is that black-robed man the Orderer, or does it mean something else?

Xu Zimei couldn't figure it out.

He turned his gaze to the White Bone Holy Mother.

The White Bone Holy Mother also shook her head.

"I don't know what an Orderer is either, but I do know some other things."

"Do you know why we strange beings are so intent on slaughtering anyone who tries to break into this place?"

"Let's hear it," Xu Zimei replied.

"Look at us strange beings. On the surface we seem no different from the living, but in truth, to die and rise again—do you think that's something easy?"

"Our lives are all held in someone else's hands in the unseen."

The White Bone Holy Mother said with bitter self-mockery.

"Even me."

"I may look powerful, occupying this White Bone Ridge, reigning supreme—but in truth, my life and death are no more than an ant in another's palm, to be crushed at will."

"If we want to break free of this fate, there is only one method."

"To kill those who intrude into the Heavenly Burial Grounds?" Xu Zimei asked of his own accord.

"Exactly. As long as we kill enough people, or people strong enough, we can trade that for true freedom," the White Bone Holy Mother said.
