Zhong Yue shook his head and said,
This is a tough battle, it is already good enough that we are still alive. Worry not, I will become stronger in the future for sure!

Ma Sansou’s and Bai Canghai’s expressions became very strange as they felt speechless.

The creatures of the Bone Realm are amazing in their own ways. It seems like there is no such thing as flesh body in their point of view.

Bai Canghai then lifted Zhong Yue up with his palm and said with surprise,
I never thought you’d revive from the remains of your bones, Brother Zhong. Is everyone in the Bone Realm like that?


Not really.
replied Zhong Yue,
As long as the ghostfire is still there, we will stay alive. In the Bone Realm, they would often forcefully occupy the body of the others. Their skeleton body is just a vessel to allow them to continue fighting.




This world is really filled with many strange things.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue said,
The Pagoda Master is here! Let’s go!

Bai Canghai immediately turned into golden winged Peng, carried Ma Sansou and Zhong Yue away as he shouted,
Don’t worry! This brat will never catch up to me!

Zhong Yue however, shook his head and murmured,
If Brother Bai says so, then the Pagoda Master will definitely catch up with us.

At the back, the Pagoda Master gave chase in lightning speed and bit by bit, he closed the gap between him and his targets. Obviously, the blood ritual effect did not fade away so the Pagoda Master was still in the state of Heavenly Deity.
Perhaps there were already a billion lives sacrificed by his followers!
And now, Zhong Yue finally got to know just how merciless and cruel the Qi Practitioners of the Prison Realm are in order to achieve something; they sacrificed billions of lives just for one battle and they did not even bat an eye!
If this was the Ancestral Star, whoever did this would be hated by everyone and all races would set aside the conflict between themselves to eliminate this particular person.
But this was also a matter of perspective; the Ancestral Star was only that big and it was a broken Six Path World that had been abandoned for more than a million years. Thus, a blood ritual involving the sacrifice of a billion lives was equal to total annihilation.
With the Pagoda Master’s speed, it would take him little time to catch up with us. I have to recover as much as I can and treat my wounds!


Zhong Yue took out the Heavenly Morning Dew and soaked himself in the water to absorb its essence. The reason he soaked into the water was because as a skeleton, how could he possibly drink the water?
Thus, he could only soak himself into the water.
He then started converting the essence of the water into energy to treat his wounds, took out countless herbs and started absorbing the essence of the herbs.
This time, he obtained at least two thousand godly herbs and planted them in his Yuan Shen secret realm. Unlike Hu Sanweng, these godly herbs were not subspecies, but the total energy they could supply was extremely amazing.
Bi li ba la—

The bones of his body started growing again and they gradually became stronger.
At the same time, the totem carvings around flew everywhere, turning into the [Dragon Shears] that were launched at his own Yuan Shen.
If his body suffered heavy injuries again, there would not be a problem since he could abandon his current skeleton body and reforge another one, which was an advantage of being a creature of the Bone Realm. However, if his Yuan Shen was damaged, all he could do was repair and try his best to recover from his wounds since he could not just abandon his Yuan Shen or he would die.
And if he wanted to treat his Yuan Shen, he would’ve had to treat the Dao wounds first.
The Dao wounds were injuries inflicted to someone by Dao skills which were incredibly hard to recover from because of the Dao skill’s totem carvings.


For example, if one’s chest had a Dao wound inflicted by a Dao skill with the totem patterns of mountains, these totem patterns would cause the wounds to bleed by using the injured’s energy to visualize the image of the mountains and tear the wounds wider apart while suppressing his power.
In order to treat such wounds, one would have to nullify the mountain totem patterns and only then would the injured be able to treat his wounds.
There were at least a few hundred Dao wounds on Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen now; they constantly tore his Yuan Shen and secret realms apart and that was extremely dangerous as his power, psyche and everything were being ravaged and his bloodline shown signs of being sealed away.
Now, the power he could still control freely was very limited, hence, he had no other options but to use the [Dragon Shears] to cut away the wounds on his Yuan Shen!
His Yuan Shen too, had the immortal body cultivated, which made it easier for him to heal his Yuan Shen by cutting away the wounds on it but the pain was unbearable at the same time!
It was exactly just like he was cutting away his own flesh with a scissors piece by piece!
And Yuan Shen was the soul and spirit of a person, so just imagine the pain he was enduring right now!
Zhong Yue bit his lips and in one breath, he cut away the wounded parts of his Yuan Shen and after that, he could no longer put up with the terrible pain and fainted on the spot.
However, the recovery of his Yuan Shen did not stop while he lost his conscious and such was the amazing power of the immortal body.

Oh damn! That brat is catching up!



Ma Sansou, who was standing on the back of Bai Canghai, turned around and his heart thumped when he saw the Pagoda Master appear within their vicinity again
Ma Sansou’s expression turned grim. He wanted to run away alone but then he recalled the times when he received countless benefits from Zhong Yue as his follower. Throughout these years, whatever he gained was more than the profits he gained before becoming Zhong Yue’s follwer, thus, he was slightly reluctant to abandon them.
The duty of a follower was to protect his master at all costs, and I barely contributed nor protected him at all. All I did was crazily profit from his spoils of war! Screw it! I will protect him at all cost right now and if I got killed, I will demand more from him in my next life!

As he made up his mind, Ma Sansou laughed happily and he shouted as he flew away from the back of Bai Canghai,
Pagoda Master, do you know who am I? I am your Grandfather Ma!

Right now, he was very confident and determined even though he knew that he probably won’t be able to last long if the Pagoda Master attacked him. He then recalled the time where after he managed to open his Bloodline Wheel, he immediately went to intercept Zhong Yue with the purpose of killing him.
Who could’ve known that because he was not as cunning and calculative like the others, he managed to survive?
Who would’ve thought that because he knew the location of Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie, he became Zhong Yue’s follower?
And who would’ve thought that previously, he thought of running away from his master every second, but now, he was more than willing to die for him?
Hou—-

With a roar, Ma Sansou reverted back to his original form, the gigantic three-headed Ma Ao with totem carvings all over his body, and he charged at the Pagoda Master with unstoppable force!



Out of my way!
The Pagoda Master shouted as he slapped towards Ma Sansou.
A loud calp was heard, and while Pagoda Master halted his advancement, blood start flowing out of Ma Sansou’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth and cracks appeared all over his shell and the totem patterns were broken.

Being able to withstand my attack, such defence is indeed amazing.
Pagoda Master praised, but quickly, he delivered another attack and said,
But can you stop me a second time?

Madness filled Ma Sansou’s eyes, the blood dyed his eyes red and he started charging again.
Another loud noise sounded and this time, parts of the shell on his back shattered entirely and blood covered him red.

How about a third one?
said Pagoda Master with a frown upon failing to crush Ma Sansou in two attacks.
Far away, Bai Canghai finally depleted his remaining strength and stamina and at this moment, Zhong Yue regained his consciousness and he murmured,
Brother Bai, put me down. We wouldn’t outrun him and it will be our turn after he killed Ma Sansou.

Bai Canghai hesitated for awhile before he came to a complete stop and landed on the peak of a mountain. He then turned into his form, the snowy white Bai Zhe beast and shouted as he turned around,
Then let me work with Ma Sansou, we might be able to weaken him greatly!


Both of you are no match for him. Ma Sansou would still be able to withstand an attack or two but you will die for sure as soon as you appear in front of him!

Zhong Yue stood up, his strength remained unrecovered and the state he is in now is completely futile to put up a fight.
That fight previously had caused great damage to his bloodline, energy, totem carvings and Yuan Shen so he was extremely weak now.
In this case, I would have to use my last trump card!

Zhong Yue took a long breath, stomped on the ground and the mountain was sliced apart by the sabers. In an instant, an altar was built and each of the bricks on this altar was covered in totem patterns.
Then, divine weapons flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and they were placed on the altar.
Zhong Yue then channeled power into the altar but his strength was still weak, thus, resulting in a failure, which prompted him to have Bai Canghai do it.
Bai Canghai got up, channeled power and as the totem patterns of the altar lit up, the weapons on the altar melted and they turned into the purest form of energy.
In a split second, the energy turned into a ball of energy that emitted bright lights and little by little, the energy ball enlarged.
Zhong Yue then raised his trembling hands, controlled the ball of energy and turned them into countless totem carvings that then became a huge awl with two sharp points at both ends.
But it also had a fatal weakness; it took quite some time to activate this skill.
This was extremely lethal as in actual combat, no one would wait for you while you took your time to get ready this skill.
I hope Ma Sansou can hold it a bit longer.

Zhong Yue’s hand moved quickly and the power of the [Mystic Dao Breaker] became stronger and stronger. When his energy finally depleted, Ma Sansou landed on his knees and his shell got completely destroyed.

You really have a death wish, don’t you?

The Pagoda Master had his feet on the back of Ma Sansou and trampled him onto the ground, causing blood to start gushing out from the hole on the ground.
He intended to completely squeeze out all the blood within Ma Sansou!

Now, let’s see how are you going to stop me without your ridiculous shell.
Mocked the Pagoda Master.

Heh! Without our shell, we of the Ma Ao Clan are even stronger than before….
replied Ma Sansou with an insulting smile as he grabbed onto the legs of the Pagoda Master.

I admire followers such like you. I really do. Why do I have no one as loyal as you?
replied the Pagoda Master.
He shook his head, stepped onto the head of Ma Sansou and he said again,
I really admire you but what a shame, you are not my follower so I can only send you into hell!

At the same time, on the peak of the mountain far away, Zhong Yue squeezed out his final strength and sent the [Mystic Dao Breaker] towards his target!
