He flipped his hand and launched seven more white bone stupas, these demonic artifacts—whose prohibitions had nearly reached perfection—descending to merge with the eight-armed, four-faced white bone demon formed from the previous six white bone stupas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the twelve stupas united, forcibly refining the white bone stupa once kept beside Qian Chen into the essence of the White Bone Demon God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Kong actually dared to destroy such a rare demonic artifact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the demon god born from the white bone stupa was entirely consumed, the prohibitions and damages on the other three white bone stupas were fully restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Kong’s icy gaze toward Qian Chen carried unmistakable meaning: “Since you might have tampered with this artifact, I will destroy this rare artifact—even if it means your schemes come to naught.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white bone stupa is a demonic method for refining the Great White Bone Demon God, requiring the skull of a cultivator with supreme foundational cultivation. The practitioner must personally process the cultivator’s soul, transforming it into a demonic entity, then sealing that soul within the refined white bone stupa as the artifact’s spiritual consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the demonic entity and the white bone stupa unite do they become the true White Bone Demon God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply by activating the demonic entity with demonic magic, one can transform the white bone stupa into a demon god and unleash its true power—even harnessing the cultivator’s former Dao techniques, making it extraordinarily formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miao Kong’s gift of the white bone stupa to Qian Chen was never benevolent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retained the artifact’s original spiritual consciousness—the demonic entity forged from the skull cultivator’s soul—and gave Qian Chen only the white bone stupa. Thus, should Qian Chen ever attempt to use the artifact against him, no matter how he refined it, as long as its essence remained unchanged, Miao Kong could simply return the demonic entity to the stupa and instantly seize control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the white bone stupa in Qian Chen’s hands was only half of this artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a cultivator deeply versed in demonic demon-refining methods could possibly suspect that such a powerful, perfectly prohibited artifact—merely difficult to control—was merely one part of a complete set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qian Chen, specifically studying demonic demon-refining methods to counter Miao Kong, realized after allowing his Three Corpses Demon God to inhabit the stupa that its control was flawless—and thus awakened to the artifact’s true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen knew no demon god he refined could rival the spiritual consciousness forged from the artifact’s original materials, and he never intended to wrest control from Miao Kong; instead, he concealed the Five Poisons Demon God within it as a hidden stratagem—thus seizing control of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even with such cunning, Qian Chen could never have anticipated that Miao Kong did not possess just one white bone stupa, but a full set of twelve… and the one he gave Qian Chen, though the most powerful, was an extra one—not even forged by Miao Kong himself—and thus less perfectly synchronized with the set, making it suitable to give away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crafting a white bone stupa requires a cultivator with supreme foundational cultivation—at least Foundation Establishment upper peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means each white bone stupa is equivalent to a true disciple of Dao or Demon sects… or a great demon like the Howling Moon Sky Wolf. To forge this set, Miao Kong must have killed countless people he dared not offend; even a whisper of this would see him reduced to soul dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the grandson of the Supreme Elder of the Nine You  Demon Sect… the favorite concubine of a powerful hermit from beyond the seas… an opponent he had battled to the death in Lunhui … even a true disciple from his world’s Dao sect…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the reincarnation realm obscuring karmic traces, ten Miao Kongs would be dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Miao Kong’s twelve painstakingly forged white bone stupas unite, they can manifest the Twelve Demon Spirits of the Great White Bone Demon God—and complete the spiritual consciousness. Each white bone stupa is equivalent to a sentient magic treasure. Together, they form a complete set of magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far surpassing any artifact Qian Chen possessed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the Precious Child was outmatched by his greatest enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such trickery carried dire consequences: the artifact’s spiritual consciousness was forged from the souls of enemies Miao Kong personally tortured and killed. Though he attempted to erase their original consciousness, a deep-seated malice and hatred remained, causing these spiritual entities to constantly yearn to devour their master. Though immensely powerful, these twelve artifacts carried a third of their power specifically aimed at their owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if Miao Kong unleashed their full power, he must be exceedingly cautious of their backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Miao Kong usually suppressed their original spiritual consciousness, using them separately as the eight-armed, four-faced demon god form—unstoppable in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with his killing intent toward Qian Chen fixed, Miao Kong had no further restraint. With full force, the twelve white bone stupas finally transformed into the complete form of the Great White Bone Demon God. As these demonic figures, clad in jagged bone spines, emerged, their ferocity erupted…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One white bone demon spat forth wave after wave of invisible, colorless ripples. Qian Chen sensed danger and did not meet them with his flying sword; instead, he flared his light-darting technique, evading a ripple. Behind him, a small hill hundreds of meters high was grazed by the ripple—and instantly shattered without sound, tens of thousands of cubic meters of rock reduced to dust in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen broke into a cold sweat; he dared not meet it head-on and immediately unfurled the Heavenly Net Umbrella to shield himself, constantly shifting his form to evade the colorless thunderlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This invisible thunderlight was the former cultivator’s signature technique—transformed into the White Bone Demon God: the Soundless Divine Thunder, a unique thunder art of the Heavenly Sound Nun from beyond the seas. Soundless and colorless, yet devastatingly powerful, it was the supreme technique for silent murder and secret extermination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Nun’s disciples, after mastering this thunder art, became the concubine of a hermit of status equal to the Nun herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though expelled from her sect, she inherited the teachings of both Dao and Demon, achieved a second-grade Golden Core, and was, in truth, both concubine and disciple to that Soul Transformation True Person—until Miao Kong treacherously murdered her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of Soundless Divine Thunders were randomly unleashed, many aimed toward Miao Kong’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Miao Kong dared not meet these divine thunders head-on. He shifted his form; his body, being a formless, shapeless demon god, moved with greater agility than Qian Chen’s, easily dodging the Soundless Divine Thunders. His face expressionless, he merely activated the prohibition spell—the white bone demon shrieked in agony, nearly driven mad, forced to obey Miao Kong’s command as it spat several Soundless Divine Thunders toward the hall below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the earlier devastation, the hundred-li radius had been plowed as if by a divine plow… the soil layers dozens of zhang deep had been overturned, not a single stone larger than a thumb to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan the Sword Immortal and Zhiquiu could not see the thunderlight, yet they clearly sensed the terrifying, invisible threat churning and gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan intended to rescue Zhiquiu from the hall—he could escape in time himself, but saving another person was impossible; the speed of the Soundless Divine Thunder equaled the speed of thunderclaps. Even his sword qi-thunder darting technique could evade it, but rescuing someone was too slow. As the five or six Soundless Divine Thunders neared, Yan and Zhiquiu, along with the entire hall, were about to be obliterated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qian Chen’s Heavenly Net Umbrella transformed into the Heavenly Net, unfurling above the Lanruo Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pure Celestial One-Qi Clear Gang , thick as the azure sky, resonated as the Soundless Divine Thunders exploded—like rolling thunder on a clear day, deep and vast. The Heavenly Net Umbrella, which had never been shaken by any technique before, now bore a titanic force. Qian Chen’s chest tightened, his throat sweetened with blood… his true qi grew chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could barely withstand a few Soundless Divine Thunders before he had to retract the Heavenly Net Umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Yan and Zhiquiu: “This villain is too powerful—we cannot meet him head-on. Fight by maneuvering!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan rescued Zhiquiu, his sword light sweeping him hundreds of li away, then turned back—his sword light surged to meet three white bone demons, including the one that spat Soundless Divine Thunders, holding his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen raised the Heavenly Net Umbrella, his sword light circling to hold off one white bone demon. This demon, wreathed in black mist like countless demonic serpents, radiated pure malevolence with every movement. Its coils could entangle Qian Chen’s protective aura, binding him fast. If more demons joined in, even if Qian Chen were forged of iron, he could not withstand so many nails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qian Chen recognized it as the greatest threat and kept his sword light locked on it, never letting it draw near.\u003C\u002Fp>",1548,"2026-06-21T05:39:58.326Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d9ff00d76a1fd0fde47b9e98e692f0f4065e5dea63365eb604e4749bc90b3c74","the-dao-dust-pearl-chapter-87","the-dao-dust-pearl-chapter-85",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dao-dust-pearl-cover.jpg"]
