Chapter 43: What Would a Brat Like You Know?

"The Skeleton Warship was destroyed, and Black Bone Ancestor's whereabouts are unknown..."

Before the words had finished falling.

An inner disciple of Kulu Zong rushed in to report: "Ancestor, Black Bone, Black Bone Ancestor's soul lamp has gone out!"

At these words, the entire hall was shocked!

Boom—a violent explosion.

Black Demon Ancestor's seat shattered into pieces, and a huge pit appeared in the ground.

A flash of black light.

Black Demon Ancestor appeared before the reporting disciple, gripping his neck: "Say that again!"

The reporting inner disciple's eyeballs bulged: "I-It's absolutely true!"

"Black Bone Ancestor's soul lamp has been extinguished!"

Pfft!

The moment the last word left his mouth, this disciple's head exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Black—Bone—!"

Black Demon Ancestor let out a furious roar, shaking the eardrums of all Kulu Zong cultivators with pain and making their divine souls tremble.

Black Demon Ancestor's entire body was wreathed in black Qi, killing intent surging to the heavens: "Good for you, Bahuang Laozu, to actually hide your methods and lure Black Bone Ancestor into a trap!"

"You never lost any cultivation at all—everything was your scheme!"

His sinister gaze turned to Ming Lengye: "The warship was destroyed, yet you fled at the first moment. Why didn't Bahuang Laozu pursue you?"

Ming Lengye shivered: "Ancestor, Bahuang Laozu should have lost his physical body, leaving only his divine soul."

"Bahuang Laozu has possessed a young man, with cultivation only at the Light Opening Realm. I saw it with my own eyes—it can't be false!"

Bang!

Ming Lengye was sent flying by a slap, crashing into the wall with a thud.

Black Bone Ancestor said harshly: "You useless thing!"

"Since Bahuang Laozu lost his physical body and only has his divine soul left, why did you run?"

"Why didn't you continue outside the Demon-Suppressing Formation, keeping pressure on Bahuang?"

"The battlefield was ruined for nothing! The men died for nothing!"

He was so angry he was about to lose control at any moment: "The first thing you thought of was running, yet you didn't consider why Bahuang Laozu didn't chase you out?"

"With your fleeing, you've thrown away all face for my Kulu Zong!"

At this moment he knew he had misjudged.

Ming Lengye and the six elders were all heavily wounded at the same time—following normal thinking, how could Bahuang Laozu pass up the chance to beat a drowning dog?

This showed that Bahuang Laozu, just as he had guessed, was seriously wounded and not yet healed, daring not to chase out, relying only on the might of the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Formation.

Ming Lengye encountered the incident and immediately fled—if this got out, outsiders would say Kulu Zong came in fierce momentum but fled out like a stray dog!

Ming Lengye had thrown away all face for Kulu Zong.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Ming Lengye knelt prostrate on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

He knew this Ancestor's terrible temper all too well—killing on a whim, and the most intolerable thing was subordinates talking back.

Though he was the Sect Master, angering the Ancestor and being killed was a normal thing.

"Then what are you standing around for!"

Black Demon Ancestor roared angrily: "Immediately rally the troops and set out, to seal off the exits of the Bahuang Star Domain!"

"As long as Bahuang Star isn't destroyed, my Kulu Zong will never have a day of rising again!"

"Yes!" Ming Lengye waved his hand and left in haste with his men.

Only Black Demon Ancestor remained alone in the great hall.

Black Demon Ancestor's pitch-black eyes shot out streaks of black light: "The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Formation is impregnable—it's time to pay a visit to Diling Sect and Tianling Sect."

"Bahuang Laozu's strength alone couldn't have killed Black Bone—Bahuang must have a helper, and we must find this person."

"And most importantly, that boy was able to come out of the Forbidden Abyss and sweep through the younger generation of Bahuang—he must have obtained a great opportunity, and we must capture him!"

At this moment.

Lu Tianyu, who had been sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, a strange expression appearing on his face.

A thumb-sized miniature illusory little figure flew with a whoosh onto his shoulder, calling out "oh oh oh."

The little figure wore no clothes, its tender white skin crystalline as jade, its little face flushed red.

Its bean-sized little mouth was open, calling out nonstop: "Oh oh oh~"

Lu Tianyu shook his head with a bitter smile: "What exactly are you trying to say? Could you please say one complete sentence?"

"Going 'oh oh oh' like that—anyone who didn't know would think you were a big goose that can't talk!"

He had never imagined that after the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron devoured and absorbed Black Bone Ancestor's divine soul, the artifact spirit born from it would be such a thumb-sized little figure.

In his imagination, for a primordial treasure like this, wouldn't the artifact spirit normally be an old man?

The most infuriating thing was that this little figure couldn't say a single complete sentence, and its "oh oh oh" calling was very annoying.

But unexpectedly, the less he said the better—once he spoke, the little figure called out even more joyfully, flying around his head up, down, left, right, its mouth constantly going "oh oh oh," its voice doubled in volume.

Lu Tianyu widened his eyes, completely unable to figure out what the thumb-sized little figure wanted to express.

"Hehehe!"

Qian Gu Nu Di's giggling laughter rang in Lu Tianyu's mind: "You're so silly—its meaning is that it's hungry!"

"It can't speak when it's not full—you have to feed it full first."

Lu Tianyu gave an "oh," then frowned again: "So that's how it is. With such a huge appetite, how many Spirit Stones will it take to feed it?"

The Black Bone Old Demon's Storage Ring had quite a few Spirit Stones, but they still weren't enough for the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to devour.

Its appetite was too great!

"This one's simple — just swallow the energy of the Vajra Divine Bone and that'll be enough."

"While devouring, you can also cultivate the Golden Dragon Fist and Earth Dragon Fist to the Great Accomplishment realm — two birds with one stone!"

Lu Tianyu's eyes lit up at the words: "That works too, many thanks..."

"Ahem, I'm off to feed little Cauldron Baby, bye-bye!"

He immediately manipulated the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, drawing the Vajra Divine Bone inside to begin refining it.

"Hehe!"

"Husband, you're just too shy to call me Wife. It's fine — if you don't call me Wife, I'll take it as tacit agreement."

"From now on, Husband must work hard at training his body, preparing to enter the bridal chamber with me for dual cultivation for a hundred thousand years."

Qian Gu Nu Di teased Lu Tianyu.

"What's dual cultivation?"

The thumb-sized little person, having absorbed a bit of energy, began to speak: "Husband, let's have a dual rest too!"

At these words, Lu Tianyu stumbled and nearly fell flat: "Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

"You little brat, what do you know? Hurry back and behave yourself, or I won't feed you anymore!"

He hadn't expected the thumb-sized little person to speak so fluently — at first he'd thought the little one stuttered or was inarticulate, only capable of going "oh oh oh."

He hadn't expected this little person's speech to be utterly brainless — didn't it know it was male too?

"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother says. Whenever Brother needs dual cultivation, just call me anytime!"

Qian Gu Nu Di: "The pupil can be taught, hahaha..."

Lu Tianyu: "..."

He firmly guarded his mind, operating the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to devour the black energy within the Vajra Divine Bone and absorb it into his Middle Dantian.

At the same time, he fully operated the Five Dragon Divine Fist mental method, beginning to cultivate the Golden Dragon Fist and Earth Dragon Fist.

At the same moment.

The news that the young sect master of Kulu Zong, Ming Tianqi, had been killed and that the Nether Three Sects were preparing to annihilate Bahuang spread far and wide.

The Xuanqing, Zhuoliu, and Dumu Star Domains one after another recalled their merchants and related clansmen from Bahuang Star.

Everyone believed Bahuang was finished.

Not a single Star Domain was willing to help the Bahuang Star Domain; some sects even approached the Nether Sects to discuss jointly developing Bahuang.

As the saying goes — when the wall falls, everyone pushes!

Time flashed by, and three days passed.

Roar roar!

Accompanied by two low dragon roars, Lu Tianyu's Golden Dragon Fist and Earth Dragon Fist were cultivated to Great Accomplishment.

When he took out the materials for the Water Dragon Fist from Black Bone Ancestor's Storage Ring, preparing to cultivate it.

The Message Bead buzzed.

Lu Jiuyuan's voice rang out: "Yu'er, the Li Clan Ancestor has been kneeling at the gate for three days and three nights!"
