Chapter 28: Destiny Bone Armor

"I truly should not have hesitated at this moment."

After a brief silence, Xi Luo, who was on the clay statue, suddenly stood up, her gaze becoming resolute.

"That old thing was right; perhaps you are the fated person my sister has waited a thousand years for."

As she spoke, Xi Luo slowly lowered her head and spat out an object.

It was a crystal-clear white disc.

It was no larger than an ordinary coin, yet it felt as warm and smooth as jade.

When Xi Luo spat out the white disc, the air in the entire Mountain God Temple seemed to become much warmer.

In particular, the Valkyrie statue behind Xi Luo seemed to come alive, a luster appearing in its eyes.

"This is the treasure my sister left behind—the Destiny Bone Armor."

"It is a piece of bone armor my sister polished from her own thoracic vertebrae, inscribed with all the maxims she realized throughout her life."

"As long as one has the Destiny Bone Armor in hand, anyone can temporarily borrow my sister's destiny-defying divine ability."

Looking at the confused Li Boyang and the Big Girl, Xi Luo decided to demonstrate how to use this Destiny Bone Armor herself.

"For example, like this: I think it will rain tomorrow."

Having said that, Xi Luo suddenly tossed the Destiny Bone Armor into the air and let it fall freely.

"When the Destiny Bone Armor lands face up, it means I guessed correctly; conversely, it means I guessed wrong."

When the Destiny Bone Armor landed on the ground face up.

Li Boyang remained silent, while the Big Girl scratched her head, still looking confused.

"So... does this mean you guessed right? Or wrong?"

"Will it really rain tomorrow?"

When Xi Luo heard the Big Girl ask this.

She finally realized that the matter of whether it would rain tomorrow was indeed impossible to verify on the spot.

[Let's change the question!]

[Your question is not only impossible to verify on the spot, but it was also not asked precisely.]

[You should ask if it will rain near Flying Peak tomorrow during the day to get a more accurate answer.]

[Big Girl, pick up the Destiny Bone Armor and ask if we arrived at Flying Peak in the morning or at noon.]

Having already had her interest piqued, the Big Girl immediately picked up the Destiny Bone Armor from the ground and followed instructions very obediently.

"Bone Armor, oh Bone Armor!"

"Did Little Brother and I arrive at Flying Peak in the morning? Or at noon?"

"If we arrived in the morning, land face up; if we arrived at noon, land face down."

After muttering to herself for a while, the Big Girl carefully tossed the Destiny Bone Armor into the air.

When the Destiny Bone Armor landed, the Big Girl immediately widened her eyes and shouted in surprise.

"It's face down! It really is face down!"

"This bone armor is really spiritual!"

Seeing that the Big Girl intended to keep tossing the bone armor.

Xi Luo immediately leaped down from the clay statue and snatched the bone armor mid-air.

"Knowing it's accurate is enough; don't keep throwing it. This isn't your toy."

Glaring at the Big Girl with annoyance, Xi Luo turned her head and said to Li Boyang.

"What we just tested is only the most basic way to use the Destiny Bone Armor..."

"The reason I was willing to bring you to this Flying Peak today was also because the Destiny Bone Armor told me to."

"In reality, the true way to use the Destiny Bone Armor is far more profound than this."

"As long as you can truly master the 'Nine Chapters of Divination Secrets,' there will be very little in this world that you do not know."

Pacing over to Li Boyang's side, Xi Luo reluctantly tossed the Destiny Bone Armor into his arms.

"From today on, you are the true owner of this Destiny Bone Armor."

"But you must keep this Destiny Bone Armor safe; I still have to take it back after you die!"

Rolling her eyes quite nimbly, Li Boyang never expected that he had not been born for long, yet someone was already planning for his funeral.

[Maxims, huh?]

Carefully examining the maxims on the Destiny Bone Armor.

Li Boyang was curious: did the Destiny Bone Armor's ability stem from these maxims, or was it an inherent attribute of the Huaijiang Witch's thoracic vertebrae?

[However, with this Destiny Bone Armor, I do know how to resolve the crisis at Black Cloud Marsh.]

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile, inside Black Cloud Marsh.

Rolling black smoke continued to pour out of the alchemy furnace, though it was much thinner than in previous days.

And near the alchemy furnace, those corrupted beasts eroded by the black mist were lining up one after another to jump into the furnace.

The reason the black mist of Black Cloud Marsh stopped expanding outward.

Li Boyang and Xi Luo's continuous culling during this period was certainly a major reason.

But a significant part of the reason was that the corrupted beasts were becoming firewood for this alchemy furnace.

Whoosh!

The flames, already ignited by baleful energy, were now even more vigorous and surging after devouring life.

Faintly, one could hear a low and powerful roar similar to that of a wild ox coming from the alchemy furnace.

"Heaven and Earth return to the origin, baleful ghosts become the pill."

Appearing silently directly in front of the alchemy furnace.

This time, the old man finally made a human sound, rather than those meaningless ghost wails and howls.

This meant the old man had regained his sanity and become a Ghost King in the true sense.

"Did you dare to look down on me because you thought I was a mindless evil ghost?"

"How does it feel to capsize in the gutter?"

"Are you angry, in pain, and wishing you could make my soul scatter and perish?"

"It's a pity that the more painful and the more you struggle now, the greater the help you provide me!"

Listening sideways to the roar from the alchemy furnace, a cold, sinister smile appeared on the old man's face.

With the help of this Earth Baleful Fire and the corrupted beasts continuously jumping into the furnace, the old man was confident he could completely refine this Ox-Headed Yin Deity into a Ghost God Egg.

At that time, he would only need to swallow this Ghost God Egg, and the old man would naturally transform into a true Ghost God.

Ghost King and Ghost God, although they only differ by one word.

But what they symbolize is a difference in life hierarchy between heaven and earth.

In any era, those who can be crowned with the title of "God" are supreme existences.

But that was far from enough; the old man's ambition did not stop there.

"I want to truly return to the world of the living, but I still lack a body..."

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly remembered Li Boyang—remembered that golden sword pellet that had thwarted his plans time and time again.

"Able to carry the sword soul of the 'Divine Firmament Sword,' your body in this life should be very suitable for my return!"

"Come to think of it, I owe today to you."

"Otherwise, where would I have gotten this experience of 'Alchemy Fire Refining Souls,' and how could I have refined a true Ghost God Egg?"

Gritting his teeth as he recalled his own death, the evil baleful energy on the old man's body turned into materialized fierce flames.

Compared to the fierce baleful god Rui Fu, who was sealed for a thousand years and remained in a weakened state throughout.

This flame possessed a comprehensive crushing advantage in both ferocity and malice.
