ER – Chapter 689: Breakthrough in Body Refinement

The White Bone Devil Emperor had plenty of hidden trumps, but Yan Qingwu had more.

Once her cultivation progressed to the Law Phase Realm, Yan Qingwu was able to make use of most of her trumps.
Of course, Li Fuchen could also see that Yan Qingwu was slightly injured, but he didn’t know the extent.

As Yan Qingwu cleaved open the bone ball, the White Bone Devil Emperor’s eyes contracted.
If it was just Li Fuchen alone, he believed that he was able to defeat Li Fuchen.
But with Yan Qingwu in the battle, he had less than a 10% chance of winning.

This was without putting the duo’s other trump cards into factor, otherwise, his chances of winning would be even lower.

“White Bone Devil Emperor, release the hostages.
Otherwise, I will not mind tearing down your White Bone Mountain.”

Li Fuchen scanned the place with his spiritual awareness and noticed that Yang Deng had yet to rescue Yang Long and Yang Le yet.
It was due to the place where Yang Long and Yang Le were imprisoned.
With the array surrounding it and with Yang Deng’s strength, it was impossible for Yang Deng to destroy the array.

“Release? Based on what? Do you believe I will kill them?” The White Bone Devil Emperor let out a sinister smile.

Yan Qingwu said, “Try it then.”

“You should have used up most of your trumps right? We still have plenty left.” Li Fuchen let out an indifferent smile as hundreds of thousands of sword qi appeared out of nowhere.
The cluster of sword intent were all intersecting each other and it felt as though the void was going to be sliced into pieces.

The White Bone Devil Emperor had an extremely unpleasant expression.
He didn’t expect that Li Fuchen was reserving such a powerful trump.

After the White Bone Devil Emperor’s expression changed a few times, he let out a fake smile and said, “I have underestimated you two, but this matter isn’t over yet.
Leave!”

With a wave of his hand, the White Bone Devil Emperor released Yang Long and Yang Le.

Yang Long and Yang Le were stunned as they didn’t have any hopes of escaping after they were captured by the White Bone Devil Emperor.

It was unimaginable that Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu forced the White Bone Devil Emperor to release them.

“Let’s go.”

Li Fuchen turned around and left the White Bone Mountain, as he and Yan Qingwu stayed at the back.

Once Li Fuchen and the group left, the White Bone Devil Emperor’s eyes flashed with overwhelming ruthlessness.

Crash!

A Primary Sea Realm monarch was attracted towards the White Bone Devil Emperor’s hand and had turned into bone.

“No one has ever humiliated me, the White Bone Devil Emperor like this before.” The White Bone Devil Emperor crushed a message token.

…

After returning to the Yang Clan, Yang Long and the others were filled with gratitude.
Had it not been for Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu, Yang Long and Yang Le would have been tortured by the White Bone Devil Emperor to a miserable death.
They would then end up as a skeleton on the White Bone Mountain and would never be able to reincarnate.

In order to thank the duo, Yang Long and Yang Deng decided to open up the Yang Clan’s treasure vault to the duo.

As long as the duo had anything useful to them, they could just take it.

Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu didn’t reserve themselves either as they picked a few rather useful items from the treasure vault.

…

“With this essence blood crystal, my body refinement should be able to reach the Law Phase Realm.”

When demonic beast rulers and body refinement emperors reached a certain level, there were chances that their body would condense essence blood crystals.

It was certainly the quintessence of the demonic beast ruler and body refinement emperor’s body.
It was a pity the chances of essence blood crystals appearing were less than one in a hundred.
Therefore, essence blood crystals had great value and were on par with heaven class high-tier herbs.

After consuming the essence blood crystal, Li Fuchen started to circulate the qi power from the Hand of Force.

…

Skeleton Mountains, one of the nine major mountain ranges in Heaven Pillar Continent.

The Skull Mountain in the middle was 870,000 feet in height and its magnificent view was utterly superior to the White Bone Mountain.

On this day, the White Bone Devil Emperor arrived at the Skeleton Mountains.

“White Bone Devil Emperor? What brought you here today?” 

Just as the White Bone Devil Emperor passed by one of the mountain peaks, there was a bald large man who was covered in sinister tattoos and asked with a smiling face.

The White Bone Devil Emperor turned back to look.
This bald man was none other than the one of the Skull Cult’s Four Cult Protectors, the Barbarian Martial Devil Emperor.

As a Cult Protector of the Skull Cult, the Barbarian Martial Devil Emperor’s strength was superior to the White Bone Devil Emperor.
He was ranked top five in the entire Skull Cult.

“Can’t I come back for a visit?”

The White Bone Devil Emperor was a prideful person and naturally wouldn’t tell his situation to the Barbarian Martial Devil Emperor.

The Barbarian Martial Devil Emperor sized up the White Bone Devil Emperor.
“It seems like you are injured.
Why? Are you back to borrow an artifact to take revenge?”

“You don’t have to worry about my matters.”

The White Bone Devil Emperor increased his pace and traversed across the mountain peaks.
In just a short moment, he arrived at the foot of Skull Mountain.

Everytime the White Bone Devil Emperor looked at the grand and majestic Skull Mountain, his heart would revere it.
Because he felt as though he was looking at the Skull Great Emperor when he looked at the Skull Mountain.

Showing his token, the White Bone Devil Emperor arrived at the artifact loan pavilion without obstructions.
As the name suggested, the artifact loan pavilion was a place to loan artifacts.

Of course, to loan an artifact, one would need to pay a remuneration.
The higher the class of the artifact, the higher the remuneration.
One could also pay with contribution points, of course, there was a need to have sufficient contribution points.

“Elder Hu, I wish to borrow the Skeleton Cloak!” Once the White Bone Devil Emperor entered the artifact loan pavilion, he made his request to Elder Hu.

“You wish to borrow the Skeleton Cloak?” Elder Hu was rather shocked.

The Skeleton Cloak was a heaven class cardinal artifact and it was an extremely valuable one.
It was even effective for a great emperor.

As such, a huge price was required to borrow the Skeleton Cloak.
One would need to pay 50,000 high-grade spirit stones or 500 million contribution points.
Basically, no one would be willing to borrow the Skeleton Cloak.

“That’s right, there are 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.” The White Bone Devil Emperor handed over a storage bag.

To be honest, the White Bone Devil Emperor was rather reluctant to part with 50,000 high-grade spirit stones at once.
It wasn’t a small sum as his entire wealth was around a few hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.

However, if he didn’t borrow the Skeleton Cloak, he wasn’t certain he could crush Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu.

The other heaven class cardinal artifacts might allow him to defeat the duo, but he wanted to crush them and not just simply defeat them.

“The Yang Clan is protected by the Heaven Fire Guild and I cannot demolish them.
But it shouldn’t be a problem to plunder them and I should be able to recoup my losses.”

The White Bone Devil Emperor had his own plans.
As a member of the Skull Cult, he wasn’t afraid to offend the Heaven Fire Guild.
As long as he could escape fast enough, the Heaven Fire Guild wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“Alright.
Wait here.” After receiving the storage bag, Elder Hu entered deeper into the artifact loan pavilion.

A short moment later, Elder Hu came back out with a black cloak.
The black cloak was embroidered with a vivid skull.

The Skeleton Cloak was one of the best cardinal artifacts in the Skull Cult.

Swish!

Once the White Bone Devil Emperor reached out, the Skeleton Cloak flew towards him.

“White Bone Devil Emperor, familiarize yourself with the Skeleton Cloak first.
It will prevent any mishaps when you use it.”

How could Elder Hu not know that the White Bone Devil Emperor was trying to take revenge after suffering a humiliation on the outside?

“Alright.” The White Bone Devil Emperor closed his eyes and communicated with the Skeleton Cloak.

After 10 minutes, the White Bone Devil Emperor opened his eyes.

The cloak shivered and the White Bone Devil Emperor vanished, and was replaced with a skeleton.

The skeleton took a step out and vanished from the artifact loan pavilion.

…

Long Wind Mountains, Clear Wind Mountain.

A highly condensed qi spirit rose up and caused the entire Clear Wind Mountain to shiver.

“The Hand of God is indeed incredible.”

When the qi spirit vanished, Li Fuchen stood up and revealed a smile.
His body refinement had finally progressed from the peak level of Primary Sea Realm to the initial level of Law Phase Realm.
