Chapter 879: Imperial Osseous Bow (1/2)

Chapter 879: Imperial Osseous Bow

The most daunting part about this old man was the sun behind him. It seemed to be incredibly tangible, seemingly cast from crimson flame metal. This sun poured down liquid refined flames. Just one drop from this stream could burn through the earth.

“Golden Crow’s Taiyang w.a.n.g…” An ancestor from the Beast Realm greatly changed his expression and murmured after seeing this old man: “He is known as the Grand Golden Crow G.o.d-Monarch!” [1. Taiyang w.a.n.g = Sun-Monarch if we were to translate his name, but it wouldn’t make sense to have his name translated considering that he has a similar t.i.tle.]

The name Taiyang w.a.n.g shocked many people because this person was famed for being a monster several generations ago. It was rumored that he enjoyed grilling and eating the opponents he had killed.

The stories told that after reaching peak Virtuous Paragon, he gave himself the t.i.tle of G.o.d-Monarch. Of course, this status was not accepted by other G.o.d-Monarchs or Immortal Emperors. He simply considered himself as one.

Outside of Taiyang w.a.n.g, there were eight virtuous paragons and several thousand experts. Everyone understood that they were here to avenge the Golden Crow Prince.

This posturing from the ravine left everyone cold. They realized just how terrifying it was to offend the ravine since their experts were capable of easily slaughtering a great power!

Taiyang w.a.n.g sneered when his eyes fell upon Jian Wushuang: “You are that little Jian girl, right? Heh, our child died because of you, so you should be buried along with him!”

“Only a turkey, there’s no need to boast here. Old Crow, do you dare to try one of my arrows? Don’t run away like a coward again.” An old man came out from the Jian Clan’s camp, completely looking down on Taiyang w.a.n.g.

One couldn’t see this old man earlier since more than one thousand experts from the Jian Clan had arrived. However, the moment this old man stepped out, everyone trembled.

He was tall with an austere bearing and sculpted features. The thing that made people tremble was not his aura, but the long bow behind him.

It was as white as the moon, as if crafted from ivory. This simple bow alone emitted a terrifyingly murderous aura that engulfed the sky. Even a G.o.dfiend would s.h.i.+ver before this bow.

The ancestors present were all astonished by this murderous aura and were quickly forced to take several steps back.

“Old Eight from the Jian Clan and the Imperial Osseous Bow!” The ancestors from the Alchemy Realm were in awe as they looked at the bow. [1. This is one of the things that has no equivalent in English since we don’t refer to people like this. He should be the 8th oldest member of the Jian Clan’s main branch. The thing is, old here doesn’t necessarily mean old, it is just part of the t.i.tle. Even a kid can be “Old Five” if he is fifth in line.]

“Old Eight…” Taiyang w.a.n.g scowled after seeing this old man. He was particularly annoyed.

“Old Eight is known as the Jian Clan’s number one archer, right?” Someone whispered after hearing his moniker: “He is the guy that wreaked havoc on the ravine before?”

“Hush…” A friend immediately gestured: “Be quiet or else the ravine will make short work of you.”

Because of their previous feud, the expressions of many people from the ravine, including the eight paragons, turned unsightly after seeing this old man known as the Jian Clan’s Old Eight.

Originally, when Old Eight’s archery reached mastery in the past, someone from the ravine mocked him and said that their Jian Clan’s archery was only a side path. Old Eight was infuriated by that comment and brought the Osseous Bow to the ravine with great momentum. No one was able to deter his path at that time. A great character from the Golden Crow Tribe couldn’t even block a single arrow from him and was killed on the spot.

In his wrath, Old Eight ran amok inside the ravine. His archery was powerful, but the Osseous Bow in his hand was even more amazing.

Eventually, the ravine summoned an Immortal Emperor True Treasure and finally managed to expel Old Eight from the ravine.

Because of this, the ravine and the Jian Clan almost broke all pretenses of cordiality and became mortal enemies. In the end, ancestors from both sides mediated with each other to quell this conflict.

So now, how could the elders from the ravine be happy to see the Jian’s Old Eight again?

“The Osseous Bow, as powerful as an Immortal Emperor True Treasure. It should be called the most vicious weapon.” Anyone would s.h.i.+ver before this bow.

The Jian Clan’s progenitor, Immortal Emperor Diyi Ji, was known by everyone as the greatest archer without peer. Although he did not use archery to prove his dao and become an Immortal Emperor, no one denied his unbeatable dao of archery.

This was especially true after he became an Immortal Emperor. Legends state that he took out a bone from his body to create the most vicious weapon in this world. The Osseous Bow was then brought into existence and was comparable to other true treasures!
