Chapter 674: Weakened Tiger (2/2)

The three ribs were quickly taken out of their seal and brought to the palace. A chilling and nefarious presence engulfed the area. Even these lords who have cultivated heretical arts became afraid.

They were stored in three bronze coffins. The moment one of them was opened, an evil energy in the form of black clouds billowed outward. They condensed into a black shadow and sucked in two heretics nearby.

The two of them were half-step Giants but couldn’t defend themselves at all. They were drained and dried as a stick.

“Hmph!” The heretical king also shot out an evil energy.

It destroyed the black shadow so the two half-steps fell to the ground. Half of their flesh has been devoured so they became skin only with numerous wrinkles - even more decrepit than a dying old man.

The rest became frightened after seeing their current state and retreated backward, not daring to stay close to that coffin.

The king reached through space with one hand and searched inside the coffin. He grabbed a pitch-black bone from it. It had a black miasma that resembles an all-devouring black hole.

He closed his eyes for the second time and quickly got a result from divination. His old eyes illuminated the entire area from this revelation: “So this is the destroyer of Buddhism’s golden age, an extremely monstrous being. If I use his bones to train my heretical laws, I can reach an even higher level while staying in Jin.”

He put the rib back in the coffin and said: “Send my orders, gather the bones of Yama at all cost. Feiyun should have one as well, take that one back first.”

Feiyun had no strength left in his body, evident by his pale complexion. He couldn’t muster spirit energy in his dantian either.

Any first-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivator could take him down right now. He wanted to fall down for a nap but also knew that he absolutely shouldn't.

So many pursuers have arrived in Endless Land. Lingering around would allow them to catch up.

Though they couldn’t calculate his exact location, they could find clues about his escaping path. Being captured meant death.

Moreover, fierce beasts were everywhere too. He would be swallowed by a serpent, an alligator, a wolf or any other beast right away if he were to sleep. That’s an even more regrettable way to go.

Nevertheless, he still had the aura from the Myriad Beast Physique and could intimidate ordinary beasts. They didn’t dare to get close to him right now, but if he were to be unconscious? That’s another story.

Three beasts have been prowling near him. A flame tiger, four meters tall and eight meters wide. A faint flame existed on its head.

The second was a black vulture with a wingspan of ten meters. It has been hovering on top of him and would definitely be the first to take a bite once he falls.

The third was a seven-meter-long constrictor, thicker than a basin. It left behind corrosive marks on its path. Just one puff from it made the trees nearby turn black and wither.

‘What a sorry state I’m in, even three regular beasts want to eat me.’ He held his weapon essence vigilantly while cutting through the thorns and branches in this forest.

Alas, he lost more strength before nightfall. His eyelids became heavy; he nearly dropped his weapon essence several times.

He had to stop and sat down on the wet grass before swallowing a spirit pill.

The three beasts were one hundred feet away from him. They got closer until they saw him opening his eyes and immediately retreated.

“A great price for great power, the evil energy in my soul is too strong. Even though you have a demonic bloodline and have somehow created two phoenix bones, you still can’t handle this pure evil energy. Your meridians and bloodlines are grievously injured. Eating spirit pills will still take three months or so for a full recovery. This is already optimistic and has something to do with your special constitution. Even a ninth-level Giant would be dead right now if they had accepted my power into their body as you did.” Yama said.

The spirit pill didn’t have that much effect. He was still as weak as before and felt pain all over.

‘I can’t wait for three months, only three days at best! The pursuers from the big sect will definitely find my marks, I’ll be dead once they get here.’ Feiyun tried his best to remove all traces but this wasn’t enough to trick the real masters.

He needed to be at full strength in order to do so successfully, going as far as leaving nothing behind.
