Chapter 576: Heaven-Mending Stone

The snow-white beast bone of Zhan Luo, once extended, reached a full four zhang in length, and the light shed by the blue gemstone at its tip made the entire beast bone appear even more eerie!

The speed of the beast bone was incredibly fast, so much so that even the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image could not dodge in time; with a single 'Boom—' sound, this strike slammed heavily onto the body of the Dharma Image!

With the supernatural abilities of this Dharma Image, it was actually unable to fully withstand it; its massive body was sent flying sideways for a hundred zhang, and the Golden Light on its body became blurry, nearly dissipating!

Zhang Nuo moved his figure and hurriedly arrived beside the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, outputting Spirit Power from within his body to maintain the Dharma Image's form so it would not perish! He looked up toward the two beast bones in Zhan Luo's hands, his expression becoming increasingly grave!

He did not know what kind of demon beast those two beast bones belonged to, to actually possess such supernatural power; they looked several times harder than the spine bone within the Dharma Image's body!

"Human boy! Is that all the ability you have?"

Zhan Luo waved the beast bones in his hands, his face full of disdain! Zhang Nuo did not say anything; he furrowed his brows tightly, and finally, he patted the Heavenly Spirit Beast with one hand. A Golden Light flashed out from within it, and in a blink, it landed on the body of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image! When the Golden Light faded, a golden suit of armor was seen worn on the body of the Dharma Image Golden Body!

This armor was precisely the 'Heavenly Demon God Armor' left behind by a True Immortal, which he had obtained in the cave-within-a-cave! As soon as it was put on, a long howl erupted from the mouth of the Dharma Image, red light flashed in its eyes, and its power increased by a large margin!

"Hmm?"

The mocking expression that had just been on Zhan Luo's face suddenly turned grave; even if he did not know the origin of the 'Heavenly Demon God Armor', the power radiating from this armor was not weak!

Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image rushed out again, black-gold light swirling uncertainly on its body. Just as its figure had rushed halfway, Zhan Luo acted in advance, sacrificing one of the beast bones in his hand and slashing it directly at the body of the Dharma Image!

The Phantom Immortal Dharma Image stopped abruptly, its two hands grabbing at the void above its head. Instantly, the void shattered, and a trail of Yin Qi emerged from within. With a swirl, the Yin Qi transformed into a black vortex; at the same time, ten thousand black rays poured out from within, shining directly onto the beast bone!

The beast bone, which had originally been glowing with blue light, saw its speed drop instantly. Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Nuo moved his shoulders, and the butterfly wings and fire wings on his back appeared at almost the same time!

With a 'Swish—', his entire person disappeared from where he stood! The next moment, Zhang Nuo appeared in front of the slightly stalled beast bone! He grabbed at the Nine Dragon Sword Case in the void with one hand, and with a 'Hum—' sound of sword ringing, eighty-one Flying Swords shot out simultaneously, transforming into a three-foot-long sword in his hand!

These sword intents, gathered from the Flying Swords within the Sword Box, radiated light in all directions, stinging people's eyes so they could not even open them!

Holding the shimmering Flying Sword in his hand, Zhang Nuo slashed fiercely at the beast bone!

Boom!

For this strike, Zhang Nuo used almost all his strength. After a loud noise, the sword intent shattered and divided back into individual swords, which flashed and vanished into the Nine Dragon Sword Case. However, the beast bone remained completely undamaged; with a flash of blue light, it returned directly to Zhan Luo's hand!

This time, it was not just Zhang Nuo who felt astonished; even Xiangxin and the others below were gasping for air continuously! The power of that strike just now would have split even a mountain in two, yet that beast bone was completely unscathed!

"Hehe! Boy, if it were someone else's Magic Treasure, your strike might have destroyed it, but this bone of mine has a great history. Let alone you, even a cultivator at the Refining Void Stage cannot harm it in the slightest!"

Listening to Zhan Luo's words, Zhang Nuo's head buzzed; it seemed he had encountered a tough nut to crack this time, as even the sword intent condensed from the Flying Swords had not been effective!

Just as Zhang Nuo hesitated for a moment, Zhan Luo disappeared into the void without any movement. The next moment, a fierce wind came from behind Zhang Nuo, and Zhan Luo flashed out, raising the beast bones with both hands and smashing them down at him!

Having witnessed the power of the beast bones, Zhang Nuo did not dare to resist head-on; he immediately moved all four wings, and his figure disappeared like a light breeze!

Zhan Luo missed his strike and wanted to attack again, but a roar sounded behind him; the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image, wearing the 'Heavenly Demon God Armor', grabbed down at him with both giant hands!

Without even turning his head, Zhan Luo struck backhanded. With a 'Rumble—' of loud noise, both beast bones hit the Dharma Image. As if hitting a ball of cotton, the Dharma Image was knocked away dozens of zhang, but this time, under the protection of the 'Heavenly Demon God Armor', the Dharma Image was completely unharmed!

At the same time, Zhang Nuo's figure also appeared beside the Dharma Image, looking at Zhan Luo with a stern expression!

"Why are you running! Do you dare to fight me head-on!"

After several rounds of battle, Zhan Luo also discovered that Zhang Nuo's movement technique was almost on par with his own; if they continued to tangle like this, there would be no end to it!

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly; Zhang Nuo would not be foolish enough to fight Zhan Luo head-on, as his cultivation level was clearly there. Moreover, the opponent had a pair of indestructible beast bones, which added several times more power!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo took a deep breath; it seemed impossible to defeat Zhan Luo with his current supernatural abilities! Biting his lip slightly, he moved both shoulders simultaneously, and two heads slowly grew out from his shoulders—one head had a reddish complexion, while the other had a metallic luster in its eyes; they were precisely the two Spirit Beasts, Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi!

"Master!"

"You have both seen everything before; in a moment, I will activate the 'Eight Extremes Demon Veins'. Once the Demon Veins are activated, certain supernatural abilities on my body will become unusable! Zhan Luo's cultivation is not weak, so I have to call you out to help!"

Mysterious Gold nodded slightly, understanding Zhang Nuo's meaning!

At this moment, Zhan Luo opposite him suddenly saw Zhang Nuo's strange appearance, and a subtle change appeared on his face; the two heads that had emerged were clearly not Zhang Nuo's, but rather looked more like they had been transformed from two Spirit Beasts!

He had heard the woman Zhuyue mention before that Zhang Nuo's body was between that of a Spirit Beast and a human, and seeing it now, it was indeed not an empty rumor; he really did not know how this boy had managed to do it!

"Rest Vein, Life Vein, Injury Vein, Obstruction Vein! Open!"

In one breath, Zhang Nuo opened four meridians of the Eight Extremes Demon Veins. Instantly, the Demonic Qi between heaven and earth surged, converging into several trickles of Demonic Qi that poured into Zhang Nuo's body, instantly raising his cultivation to the Integration Late Stage!

His whole body was shrouded in Demonic Qi, leaving only the two heads of Mysterious Gold and Qiongqi in their original state! Two white rays flashed deep within Zhang Nuo's pupils, and he let out a roar that made the void between heaven and earth tremble incessantly!

The monk Xiangxin below suddenly looked up, and after discovering this terrifying scene of Zhang Nuo, he chanted a long Buddhist name!

"Amitabha! What a powerful Demonic Art!"

The old monk had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen someone use Demonic Qi to raise their cultivation by two small realms! With such terrifying cultivation, it was no wonder that those of the same rank were no match for Zhang Nuo!

Before Zhan Luo could wake up from his surprise, Zhang Nuo moved all four wings on his back, and with a 'Swish—', his figure flashed to Zhan Luo's front. Opening his mouth wide, a black beam of light as thick as an arm sprayed out from his mouth!

Zhan Luo hurriedly retreated; before he understood Zhang Nuo's technique, he did not dare to rashly attack him. At the same time, the blue gemstones at the tips of the two beast bones in his hands flashed, shooting out two pale blue beams of light that collided with the black beam of light spat out by Zhang Nuo!

An explosion sounded in the sky, shattering much of the surrounding void. Before Zhan Luo's body could stabilize, Zhang Nuo let out another roar, pressing his hand toward Zhan Luo in the void!

At this moment, above Zhan Luo's head, countless Demonic Qi gathered into a black palm a zhang wide, pressing down toward his body! Caught off guard, he was almost hit; five-colored Spirit Light flashed at his crown, and a stone a zhang wide rushed out of his body, directly blocking the giant Demonic Qi hand!

With a 'Boom—' sound, the giant Demonic Qi hand dissipated the moment it touched the stone!

"Heaven-Mending Stone!"

A flash of light passed through Zhang Nuo's eyes! After exchanging a glance with Mysterious Gold on his shoulder, Zhang Nuo's figure blurred, and he rushed toward Zhan Luo again!

He formed Dharma seals with his hands, drawing two semicircles in front of him, and instantly countless palms appeared, launching an attack on Zhan Luo all at once!

Since Zhang Nuo had mastered this 'Thousand Leaf Hand' technique, he had only used it once, the time he killed the Nine-Tier monster fish beast. Now that he was using it again, its power was naturally not comparable to when he was in the Spirit Severing Stage!

Countless black palms bombarded him in turns, leaving Zhan Luo unable to cope. In just a split second, his front, left, and right were all enveloped by the Thousand Leaf Hand, and every attack was no less than the power of the Integration Late Stage!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The 'Rumble—' sounds in the sky merged into one. Zhan Luo did not have time to sacrifice new Magic Treasures and could only use the two beast bones in his hands to resist the Thousand Leaf Hand's attacks, his figure retreating repeatedly!

At the same time, Mysterious Gold on one of Zhang Nuo's shoulders transformed into a Golden Light and flew out of his body, holding a small pale blue tripod in its hand! Mysterious Gold's gaze swept over and landed on that 'Heaven-Mending Stone'!

Without a second thought, it urged its Divine Sense, and purple electric arcs surged from within the Four Spirits Square Cauldron, transforming into an electric arc hand several zhang wide that grabbed the 'Heaven-Mending Stone' firmly!

Then, the small tripod erupted with a hum, using all its strength to pull the stone into the tripod. After finishing all this, Mysterious Gold transformed into a Golden Light and returned to Zhang Nuo's body!

At this time, Zhang Nuo's Thousand Leaf Hand had finished, and he stood to one side. Zhan Luo's hands, holding the beast bones, were trembling continuously! It was already not easy for him to have defended against the myriad attacks of the 'Thousand Leaf Hand'! However, when his gaze swept toward the sky, he was instantly struck with horror!
