Chapter 1214: Countless Skeletons Crush All Directions

The Blue Lightning King's premonition soon became reality.

In his terrified gaze, countless skeletons descended from the starry sky to the ground; one by one, the skeletons curled into spindle shapes, piercing the boundary wall with pale flames, landing on the earth, and beginning to slaughter all the resisting Blue Lightning Snake Demons.

Within those seemingly crude skeletons lay terrifying power; bone blades chopping down, bone spears thrusting—each was a master technique hammered and refined a thousand times, solidified into their bodies. With every chop of a blade and thrust of a spear, the Blue Lightning Snake Demons had nowhere to flee, cut in two.

Lei Ting, hailed as the nemesis of ghosts and spirits, fell upon these skeletons but proved utterly useless, showing no phenomenon of mutual generation or suppression.

It was as if water and void-fire; even though water and fire oppose each other, the two existed on completely different levels, making mutual generation or suppression impossible to discuss.

Only a higher-tier power could defeat these skeletons!

"Roar!"

A Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon roared; countless lightning spears shot forth, piercing the skulls of thousands of skeletons, penetrating the soul-fire within the skulls, finally shattering these skeletons, which fell to the ground, becoming piles of chaotic bones scattered messily in the earth's mud.

"Die!"

"Die! Die, die!"

This Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon went mad.

Lightning spear after lightning spear shot out, breaking skeleton after skeleton, clearing a vast area, slaughtering tens of thousands, and saving a large group of Blue Lightning Snake Demons.

At a certain moment.

Whoosh!

A bone arrow, appearing suddenly from the void out of nowhere, pierced through this Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon's skull and exited the other side the instant he had just slaughtered a mass of skeletons.

This Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon's body stiffened.

Then, he fell silently.

He did not see that among the countless nearly identical skeletons, a skeleton archer's eyes flashed with a faint spiritual light, which quickly vanished.

At this moment, even if one were to kill the skeleton left behind, it would not kill the skeleton that truly struck, for it had already transferred.

This Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon did not see either that at the instant of his death, the instant his soul shattered, some spiritual light spilled out, falling into the countless shattered white bones around him.

Moments later, some white bones scattered, spontaneously reassembled, and formed skeletons once more, swaying as they charged in all directions.

Moreover, the bone quality of these skeletons was noticeably finer and whiter, the soul-fire in their eye sockets brighter, seemingly possessing greater potential.

Undying, indestructible!

This Nascent Soul-stage Blue Lightning Snake Demon did many things, fighting with his life, but the final result was making this skeleton army even stronger!

Such scenes were common on this battlefield.

The skeleton army descended, the skeleton army slaughtered; the lives of billions of Blue Lightning Snake Demons

melted away like ice and snow; resistance was useless, cut in two by a single blade; fleeing or diving into the mud was useless, for the earth-shifting technique of the snake-shaped skeletons was faster, more rapid and precise.

In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of Blue Lightning Snake Demons died, and the speed of death accelerated greatly.

"Roar!"

"Stop!"

The Blue Lightning King's eyes bulged until the veins nearly burst.

In an instant, he burned his essence blood, charging toward the void beyond the starry sky; his body was like a divine lightning spear, piercing the firmament. This king gave everything; his aura surged violently, his momentum terrifying, enough to make many Soul Transformation cultivators turn pale and flee in panic.

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

However, the slender skeleton surrounded by a thousand bone swords in the sky did not even change her expression.

She merely tapped lightly with her pale hand; thirty-six bone swords flew out from around her body, stabbing downward.

Without any trickery, the bone swords pierced straight through all the lightning, driving into the Blue Lightning King's skull, smashing him into the ground at several times the speed he had ascended to the sky, turning the earth into a deep pit.

At the bottom of the pit, thirty-six bone swords were driven one by one from the Blue Lightning King's brow to his tail, pinning him firmly to the ground; his snake body struggled violently, flesh and blood constantly tearing, yet he could not break free by a single inch.

The life force of this Blue Lightning Demon King was dying at an extremely rapid pace.

"No!"

"I... I am unwilling!"

The Blue Lightning King stared fiercely at that slender skeleton in the starry sky and growled: "If I had been defeated by a human cultivator, so be it; death is death."

"But you are clearly a demon!"

"Why serve as a slave to humans? Since you possess such strength, do you not even have the desire to ascend the Wang Zuo?"

Boom!

In the starry sky, a bone sword fell from the heavens, carrying Xiong Xiong burning ash-white flames, breaking through the boundary wall like a meteor.

This meteor struck the Blue Lightning King's skull, shattering it into dust and smoke; not a single shred of flesh remained on his entire head.

All roaring ended there.

"Damn reptile!"

"I! Am human!"

The slender skeleton's body shimmered with spiritual light, reverting to the appearance of a beautiful woman; she flew into a rage: "Damn Snake Demon! You sought your own death; you deserve to die!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh, whoosh!

Hua Teng's divine sense was cold; bone swords flew out at her thought, slaughtering and harvesting all remaining resisting Nascent Soul-stage cultivators of the Blue Lightning Snake Demon clan, quickly completely breaking the military formation of the ruling race of this Black Water Minor Realm.

Countless Blue Lightning Snake Demons fled in madness, with no fighting spirit remaining.

The white bone skeleton army pursued the fleeing and defeated, gradually hunting them down, flexible and powerful, yet maintaining their military formation,

showing no sign of being cannon fodder.

On the battlefield, countless spiritual lights and soul fires formed clusters of azure flowers, flying toward the slender skeleton in the starry sky and dancing around her; a sea of azure flowers leaping like spirits, truly beautiful.

Finally, all the ghost flowers returned to their nest like swallows, surging into the slender skeleton's nostrils.

"How wonderful!"

"Teacher, you were not wrong in the slightest—war is indeed the ladder by which cultivators advance."

The fair and graceful woman named Huateng drew in a deep breath; the aura around her grew somewhat stronger, and her foundation seemed to have stabilized a touch.

One person, single-handedly annihilating an entire realm!

This sight caused the many soldiers and officers of the Second Army Group to reveal expressions of awe.

The unit's commanding officer, Gunxuan Master Dinghai Zhenjun, was even more shaken within.

For the first time he deeply understood the meaning of the Great Sun Canghai Tianjun's Great Sun Soul Transformation Strategy—just this one person alone is enough to rival a thousand armies and ten thousand cavalry, and is moreover capable of driving tremendous progress in the immortal gate's immortal-Dao science.

If one could be certain of not being counter-eroded,

these foreign talents would surely make the immortal gate even more magnificent, and the immortal gate's countless citizens would all benefit because of it!

Take this battlefield, for example—after this expert named Huateng struck, the Black Water Lesser Realm can now be taken over almost in peace, without requiring citizens to sacrifice themselves or fight bloodily to the death.

The premise is, one will not be counter-eroded.

"Immediately enter and garrison the Black Water Lesser Realm!"

"All Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan cultivators must undergo soul-searching; every cultivator who directly or indirectly participated in the slaughter of immortal gate citizens is to be executed!"

Gunxuan Master Dinghai Zhenjun commanded.

"Yes!"

Countless officers and soldiers roared.

The star-sky fleet poured ceaselessly into the realm barrier.

They are both an army and a production brigade—they will, under the command and supervision of immortal gate citizens, complete tasks such as the thorough pacification of the Black Water Lesser Realm, the construction of teleportation arrays, and the restoration of production, extending the immortal gate's reach into every corner of the world.
