"You all don't need to doubt, I saw this with my own eyes! Brother Ye he indeed killed his way out from the bone devil army by himself. Missing this chance, nobody can get the emperor bone," Feng Xiaotian spoke up at the appropriate time.
At this time, the people in Feng Xiaotian's team already all died, leaving only him, a lone general without an army.
To want to obtain the emperor bone, depending on Ye Yuan was his only choice.
Just as everyone was still doubting, Ye Yuan brought Song Yu and the rest and arrived at the borders of the bone devil army.
That bone devil army crawled out of the ground once more, each and every one baring their fangs and brandishing claws; extremely ferocious.
Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, "Without everyone's help, I don't have confidence in being able to charge through. But I'm only attempting this once. If it fails, I'll give up on the emperor bone. At that time, everyone must think of another way then. Now, those who want the emperor bone, keep up!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's Stellar War Banner suddenly rumbled out, directly blasting open a bloody path.
Then, he brought Song Yu and the rest, charging into the bone devil army without even turning his head back.
"Empyrean spirit treasure! Two empyrean spirit treasures!"
"So that's how it is! Brother Ye is already leading his men to charge through! What are we still hesitating for? Charge!"
...
Done talking, there were immediately over a dozen people who followed after.
The figures of Ye Yuan and the others were gradually going further away. So they already did not have much time to hesitate.
Ye Yuan's words, flashing out empyrean spirit treasures, coupled with leading his men in a charge, already conquered the vast majority of the people.
Compared to Zhou Yu, Ye Yuan was clearly much more credible.
He did not force everyone to join and was even in the forefront, leading his men.
In comparison, the level was immediately established.
The people who hesitated became fewer and fewer; everyone followed after like tidewater.
Zhou Yu's expression flickered incessantly. He wanted to be the leader taking the initiative, but in the end, he messed up.
Now, making him follow Ye Yuan, he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.
But based on him alone, it was absolutely impossible to break through the bone devil army.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and charged into the bone devil army.
Chapter 1988 - Storming the Bone Devil Army
With Ye Yuan leading the charge, the team's advancing speed was extremely fast.
In places where the Stellar War Banner arrived at, there were piles of broken bones.
Those people who entered with Zhou Yu before, they felt like the situation was completely different.
It was too easy along the way!
Although it was still very dangerous, it was way too different compared to the last time.
With Ye Yuan overpowering the enemies all the way, the pressure that went onto every person's body did not have much left.
With 70 Fourth Firmament True Gods, this force was absolutely powerful enough, practically advancing unreasonably all the way.
"If we knew long ago, we'd have waited a while and entered with Brother Ye!"
"Brother Ye's strength is really too terrifying! Doesn't he know fatigue?"
"Hahaha, awesome! We were pursued badly by this bunch of skeletons the last time. This time, I can finally hold my chin up high."
...
In the last battle, Zhou Yu wanted to use others as shields and naturally refused to charge in front.
Hence, everyone was the point of attack.
Those bone devils attacked without discrimination; they naturally collapsed in disorder.
But this time, Ye Yuan attracted the vast majority of the firepower. They only supported through coordinated actions from the sides, it was naturally much easier.
In addition, this time, the strength in numbers had a very large increase compared to last time.
Hence, they naturally did not feel much pressure all the way until now.
At the back of the team, Zhou Yu's rod was brandished like the wind, but the shock in his heart was unable to be described using words at all.
In the beginning, he harbored the attitude of gloating over others' misfortune. This degree of consumption, Ye Yuan could not hold out for very long at all.
But more than two hours passed in a blink. Ye Yuan still seemed like he was on stimulants. He seemingly was at his peak state, without the slightest sign of declining at all.
Zhou Yu was aware of this; if he continued this level of fighting, he could not sustain for such a long time at all.
Was this fellow still human?
However, it was also not smooth-sailing along the way.
The further in, the stronger the bone devils. Fourth Firmament True God bone devils became more and more.
By then, some bone devils' strengths were already extremely close to Fifth Firmament True God.
Even Ye Yuan also felt rather strained.
The speed of the team's advancement slowed down, casualties also slowly started appearing.
Those children of destiny also did not have the composure from before anymore.
In the end, Ye Yuan simply gave up on the Stellar War Banner and directly fired out one Life and Death Seal after another.
Although the Stellar War Banner was an empyrean spirit treasure, it was unable to unleash its true power in Ye Yuan's hands at all.
His realm was too low!
In terms of power, the power of the Life and Death Seal was a great deal stronger.
Of course, the Life and Death Seal's consumption of divine essence was also enormous.
Even with his divine essence purity, it was still somewhat struggling to make ends meet.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swallowed several divine essence recovery medicinal pills.
"Everyone, don't hold back anymore! Hurry up and use whatever moves you have! Otherwise, we'll all have to die here! There's only a distance of several thousand feet away from the bone mountain already. Everyone, double up!" Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.
He understood in his heart that apart from their squad, this team were all harboring ulterior motives.
Many people did not use their full strength at all. They were still saving their killing move, waiting to snatch the emperor bone at the end!
A quick glance around, they already rushed to the foot of the bone mountain. The surroundings were virtually all Fourth Firmament True God bone devils.
It was already impossible to want to turn back.
In their current states, there was no divine essence to let them kill their way back at all.
No path to retreat, then there was only advancing!
Those one Life and Death Seal after another of Ye Yuan made everyone stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.
There was actually still such a play?
When everyone fought, they normally would not release big moves unless it was an absolute last resort.
But Ye Yuan threw out one big move after another like it was free.
The key thing was that Ye Yuan could actually really release so many.
Was this guy … really a Second Firmament True God?
"Ahhh!!"
"Ahhh!!"
"Ahhh!!"
Tragic screams rose and ebbed, the casualties in the team were exacerbating.
The speed that the team was advancing became slower. The bone devils that they had to face naturally became more and more.
Furthermore, the strength of the bone devils got stronger and stronger, many people could not bear it.
Even Ye Yuan also gradually started to despair.
He did not think that the strengths of these bone devils at the back were actually powerful to such an extent.
Even if he used Sword Hollow Etch, it was al
so impossible to eradicate clean all at once!
"What to do, Brother Ye?" Song Yu forced back a bone devil and gritted his teeth and asked.
"What else can we do? Continue charging!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
This distance of several hundred feet in front of them was simply as far as the horizon despite being so near.
It was just that, so what even if rushed up the bone mountain?
Could it be that these bone devils would not chase after?
After reaching on top of the bone mountain, it would be even more hopeless!
100 feet!
90 feet!
...
30 feet!
20 feet!
10 feet!
Ye Yuan's divine essence was being rapidly depleted. Finally, he suddenly fired out a Life and Death Seal, directly blasting away the bone devils in front of him.
Ahead was the bone mountain!
Ye Yuan suddenly dashed, rushing straight out of the bone devil army, and climbing up the bone mountain.
But he did not go up the mountain himself, but turned around and fired out a few more Life and Death Seals, helping Song Yu they all to charge out.
"Assist everyone!" Ye Yuan said without thinking after saving Song Yu.
Ye Yuan was not a goody-two-shoes, but he had his own principles.
Without these people, he could not barge through this bone devil army by himself too.
Now that he stormed over himself, he naturally could not stand by and not rescue those in danger.
Following that, one child of destiny after another charged out.
After the last person charged out, Ye Yuan already made the preparations to make one last desperate effort.
Who knew that at this time, that endless bone devil army actually scattered into piles of bones at this time.
The originally incomparably noisy wilderness suddenly became incomparably quiet.
This transition from commotion to quiet was extremely sudden, making everyone extremely not used to it.
But very soon, everyone's faces revealed looks of wild elation.
"Hahaha! We finally cleared it! Damn! I even thought that I'd be dead for sure this time!"
"Isn't that so? Facing many same realm bone devils at the same time, this kind of battle is really exhilarating!"
"All thanks to Brother Ye. If not for him resisting the vast majority of the bone devils by himself, we'd probably have long died out."
...
They faced quite a few alone, while Ye Yuan practically faced more than a dozen, or even more, by himself.
He kept on charging at the forefront. It was equivalent to being a sharp blade. The enemies encountered were naturally also the most.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan's fighting style without regard for his life also repelled a large group of bone devils.
It was because of this that there were only some remaining bone devils left for the others to handle. The pressure naturally reduced significantly.
Everyone understood in their hearts that if not for Ye Yuan, they would have long been completely annihilated. No one could think about getting out alive.
There was a wave of laughter and gaily chatting.
But Ye Yuan did not smile.
On the contrary, he had a solemn look on his face right now.
"What's wrong, Brother Ye?" Song Yu asked. He was currently rejoicing, but then he saw Ye Yuan's solemn look, immediately reining in his smile.
Ye Yuan frowned and said, "These bone devils were clearly controlled by the emperor bone. If this is his last measure, he should stop us at all costs. But … this bone devil army completely scattered!"
One sentence made everyone's heart turn cold.
And right at this time, on top of the bone mountain, another skeleton … slowly stood up.
Yes, just one!
But everyone's eyes immediately became wide-saucers. The feeling called despair was spreading in everyone's hearts.
Chapter 1989 - Bone Devil Three Swords
"E-Empyrean bone devil! How … How can this be?"
Before their eyes, there was just one bone devil.
The undulation emitting off of this bone devil made everyone feel terror. What was this if not an Empyrean level bone devil?
No one could have expected that going through all kinds of hardsh.i.p.s and difficulties to arrive at the opposite shore, what awaited them was an Empyrean level bone devil.
No wonder this emperor bone was never taken by people despite being placed here for so many years.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The Empyrean bone devil walked toward everyone step by step. Each step it took, was like stepping on everyone's hearts, making people palpitate with fear and anxiety.
That might which blotted out the skies and covered the earth made everyone almost suffocate.
"Run!"
Finally, someone could not resist and turned around and ran away.
That child of destiny even used his strength to suckle, his speed swift to the extreme.
Ye Yuan did not move, staring fixedly at the Empyrean bone devil.
It was only to see the bone devil's skeleton claw slowly raise up, and then lightly flicked. A streak of light blue flowing light tore across the night sky, accurately hitting that child of destiny who fled.
Bang!
The child of destiny directly exploded in the air, leaving not even residue behind.
Everyone s.u.c.k.e.d in a mouthful of cold air, being shocked speechless by this scene.
Strong!
Too strong!
This was the strength of an Empyrean level bone devil. It made people unable to give rise to the slightest thought of resisting at all.
There was no chance of escaping.
As for joining hands to deal with this Empyrean bone devil … don't joke around! Even if put everyone together, it was also not enough to fill the crevices between his teeth.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Senior, we came for the emperor bone. I wonder how we can get the emperor bone?"
The Empyrean bone devil turned its head rather mechanically, looking toward Ye Yuan.
The other people's hearts leaped to their throats. Was this guy seeking death? He still wanted the emperor bone at this time?
Being stared at by the bone devil's pair of holes, although Ye Yuan was startled, he did not panic.
He discovered that this bone devil had its own intelligence!
If it was the same as those bone devils previously, this Empyrean bone devil would have long annihilated them all, why would it wait until now?
To this Empyrean bone devil, this was merely a matter of raising a hand.
Hence, he asked boldly.
The bone devil's pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Yuan and did not speak either, the air seemingly solidified.
Suddenly, the bone devil opened that skeleton mouth, the lower jaws moved, using a dry voice to say "As long as there's someone … who can receive three of my sword moves, they can … take away … His Excellency's remains."
"Hiss!"
Everyone drew another mouthful of cold air.
Receiving three of your sword moves … who could still survive?
Forget about three sword moves, even one sword move could not be received either!
This joke was too much.
Ye Yuan looked at the bone devil and asked again, "Is it that if we can't receive these three sword moves, we can't leave?"
Everyone's faces turned intent. Thinking of that guy who was instantly killed just now, they could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.
Who knew that that bone devil shook its head and said, "As long as you block one sword move, you can leave. These three sword moves, I'll suppress my strength to the same realm as you."
The bone devil seemed to have found the feeling, becoming much smoother when talking.
And when the group of children of destiny heard this, they immediately heaved
a big sigh in relief.
If it unleashed this sword with Empyrean Realm, then no one needed to play anymore.
"Then … if there are several people at the same time who receive Senior's three sword moves, what then?" Ye Yuan asked again.
This time, the bone devil replied very quickly, "First come, first serve."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Someone immediately stepped forward and said, "I'll go first!"
This person's strength was not weak; he was also a middle-stage Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse.
They were all children of destiny, avowed that their strength stood head and shoulders above all others.
At least, they would not lose to same rank martial artists!
"Idiot!" Zhou Yu could not resist scolding under his breath.
The Empyrean bone devil did not say much, directly pulling out a bone from its rib.
Then, the shape of that bone actually started transforming, finally turning into a bone sword that was neither short nor long.
"Empyrean spirit treasure!" Ye Yuan's pupils constricted slightly as he cried out in surprise.
The others had clearly seen the actual situation too. Just now, they completely did not feel it. They did not expect that, in a blink of an eye, this Empyrean bone devil actually magicked out an empyrean spirit treasure.
That child of destiny's pupils also shrunk slightly, revealing a solemn look.
"Receive three sword moves, then this empyrean spirit treasure will also belong to the person. I give you all three days' time to recover divine essence. Three days later, I'll attack."
The bone devil said nonchalantly, then immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Three days' time arrived in a twinkle. Everyone swallowed medicinal pills, their divine essence also pretty much recovered.
The bone devil and that child of destiny stood facing each other. The bone devil opened its mouth and said indifferently, "Now, this Empyrean is drawing his sword."
The moment his voice faded, he stabbed the bone sword in his hand out indifferently.
Swish …
The air emitted a whistling sound. A horrifying undulation closed in on that child of destiny.
The child of destiny also made his move!
The long spear was akin to a long rainbow cutting across the sky, flying straight for that sword.
