Illuminated by a Luminous Pearl, one could see broken skeletal remains scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the bones were yellowed and desiccated, covered in cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, one would find that not a single set of remains was a complete corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These remains had their limbs and skulls separated; some were nothing but torsos, piled haphazardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And surrounding these skeletal remains was a circle of people in black robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, forming a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the circle was an enormous coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin was bound by layer upon layer of chains, the ends of which were embedded in the walls, suspending it in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin, over three meters long, had a grotesque shape that was chilling to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed figures were bowing their heads, chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai couldn’t understand the chants, but that didn’t stop him from taking in the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeletons littering the floor, eerie chanters, a massive coffin hanging from the ceiling, and chains that quivered and shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai suddenly felt that this was different from the Mystical World he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is a world filled with all sorts of bizarre things.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Bai and Cheng Shuang entered the grotto, the black-robed figures seemed oblivious, their heads still bowed as they chanted their unintelligible litany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High above, the massive coffin trembled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the CREAK CREAK of the chains, the coffin swung wildly, as if some horrifying creature within was trying to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai drew the Rusted Longsword from his waist and looked at Cheng Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shuang felt Shen Bai’s gaze and met it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion filled both their gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Logically, we’ve stormed their very lair. They should have reacted somehow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the resistance in the hidden passage, it was strange that not a single one of the black-robed figures had so much as glanced their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is a bit strange.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Bai mulled this over, the circle of seated, black-robed figures continued their chanting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Putting on a show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai said coolly. The Rusted Longsword in his hand, blazing with righteous power, shot forward in a direct thrust, sweeping toward the nearest black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longsword struck, and the black robe fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the black robe, however, was a truly horrifying sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piles of heads were stacked atop one another, forming a humanoid shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been impossible to tell under the cover of the black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this black robe was stripped away by Shen Bai, this pile of heads finally stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five Hearts Facing Heaven! Free and unbound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each head shrieked horribly as it lunged at Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shuang shouted from behind, raising her twin stilettos and preparing to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she realized there was no need for her help at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai’s Rusted Longsword became an impenetrable blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his Qi and blood surged, he executed the Blood Sword Dance to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike of his sword claimed a head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the heads had vanished, Shen Bai turned again to look at another black-robed figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This black-robed figure was nearby, still bowing its head and chanting the unknown litany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under Shen Bai’s gaze, he discovered something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand stretched out from where the head should be, waving continuously in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai’s brows furrowed deeper, and with a single sword strike, he flicked the black robe right off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the black robe was flicked away, beneath it was a humanoid figure composed entirely of arms—a truly grotesque sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flicking off the black robe seemed to have triggered a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai immediately retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he fell back, all of the arms attacked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’First heads, now hands. This is getting stranger and stranger.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai remained expressionless as a verdant green light rose from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arms were far more agile than the heads, able to attack from all angles and bend in unnatural ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Shen Bai couldn’t dodge them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But possessing the Bright Jade Body Divine Power, he was completely fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arms struck his body, but the verdant light repelled every attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It consumed a fair amount of his Qi, but Shen Bai paid it no mind, his Rusted Longsword lashing out again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike severed an arm, and within a dozen breaths, Shen Bai had cut them all down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Cheng Shuang stood frozen in place, as if petrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly realized that what Shen Bai had said earlier wasn’t wrong in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really am just a tag-along. There’s been no opportunity for me to even get involved in this fight.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this his full strength?’ Cheng Shuang thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Back when he fought Yaya’s father, he definitely held back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai, of course, couldn’t hear her thoughts. If he had, he would have wanted to tell her that he *had* been going all out back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had simply improved a great deal in a very short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t say this. If he did, Cheng Shuang would probably collapse on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because improving that much in such a short time was something even a genius couldn’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shen Bai dealt with the second black-robed figure, the other chanting figures finally stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figures chanting the strange litany vanished. In their place, sets of black robes collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heads, limbs, torsos—all manner of body parts were revealed, creating a scene of grotesque, perverse horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was made all the more bizarre under the light of the grotto’s Luminous Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heads fused together into an enormous, spherical mass, while the remaining parts sorted themselves by type and assembled before Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant, a towering figure appeared, its head touching the ceiling of the massive grotto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this towering figure, Shen Bai was like a blade of grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Cheng Shuang immediately shouted, \"This is beyond anything we can comprehend! We have to go, now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant, stitched-together creature before her exuded a crushing pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a glance from afar was enough to make her feel the looming presence of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each head emitted a cacophonous sound. As the noises converged, Shen Bai felt his head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the coffin bound by chains finally moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cracking sound, a hole appeared on the coffin’s lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand reached out from the hole, followed by another cracking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second hand reached out from inside the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRAK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin lid was torn to shreds by the two hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An emaciated figure sat on the edge of the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a middle-aged man, emaciated, his head and limbs covered in a dense network of stitches that held him together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes held a bloodthirsty gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wondered who would dare cause trouble for my Five-Heart Sect. So it’s just two whelps, not even fully grown. It seems you’re eager to become my heads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-03T14:13:26.865Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.156Z",1,"novelbin.me","8fd2f3c5e0d1ad832bea2a80d3d13e31fe63e84b5ee4b2169c063a8927a23d70","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-131","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-130",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
