Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1716 - 924: Seizing the Remains, Freezing the Primordial Spirit

On the eighth day, someone suddenly began to approach the Gun God’s Skeleton.

Once there was the first, naturally there were the second, the third...

Before long, seventeen waves of will all pressed close to the Gun God’s Skeleton, with the nearest person within arm’s reach. Cautious by nature like Zhao Sheng, without exception, they all chose to stop a hundred feet away.

As the divinity was about to awaken, the surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly tense and oppressive.

An hour later, Lu Qing suddenly shouted excitedly, "Taoist Zhao, look quickly!"

In fact, there was no need for his reminder, as Zhao Sheng had already seen the originally dead silent Gun God’s Skeleton suddenly emit threads of white light.

In just an instant, the threads of white light connected into a sheet, completely covering the skeleton’s entirety. The surrounding dark water instantly stagnated, seeming as if it might freeze into frost.

"It’s now!" Lu Qing shouted excitedly. His right arm suddenly transformed into a massive, over ten-zhang long flame saber, as solid as reality, and fiercely slashed at a pale white bone spur as thick as an arm.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng no longer hesitated, and the Hanli Sword slid instantly into his palm.

He teleported beneath a pale white bone pillar as thick as a barrel and over three zhang long, swinging his sword to cut into it.

This very moment just happened to be when the skeleton turned from virtual to real, the instant white light burst forth.

The Hanli Sword sliced effortlessly into the bone pillar, the blade piercing through to the other side with ease.

At the instant the bone pillar was severed, an indescribable chill emerged from nowhere, and Zhao Sheng was frozen in all his consciousness before he could even react.

Time seemed stolen for an instant, and yet as if frozen for eternity.

Within the Five-Colored Barrier, Zhao Sheng’s body was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, then transformed into a streak of pale white light, merging into the Gun God’s Skeleton below, disappearing completely.

On the other side, Lu Qing’s flame saber, on his right arm, stopped just outside the white light and did not actually touch the Gun God’s Skeleton.

Seeing Zhao Sheng vanish into the light, Lu Qing was overjoyed.

In the blink of an eye, he teleported in front of the severed bone pillar, intending to hug it tightly.

At this critical moment, a powerful wave of will suddenly attacked. This wave of will was unimaginably strong, instantly jolting Lu Qing’s spirit and leaving him frozen in place.

"Hey, stop!"

A giant five-colored palm appeared out of thin air, heavily striking Lu Qing.

Even though Lu Qing had achieved Great Success in his Divine Flame True Body nearly a million years ago, he was still shattered into pieces by this palm, his Primordial Spirit and will both severely damaged.

In the next instant, red, white, green, red, and black five streaks of Flowing Light Lightning flew over, effortlessly devouring Lu Qing’s shattered Divine Flame True Body completely.

The Five-Colored Flowing Light turned, instantly transforming into five handsome young Taoists. Who else could they be but the Five Zhas!

Each of the Five Zhas could rival a Great Ability of the Unification Realm. Once the Five Zhas joined forces, even a Tribulation Crossing Venerable would be challenged for a round or two.

Hundreds of miles away from the Gun God’s Skeleton, a slender figure appeared out of thin air. Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, filled with horror and trepidation.

If not for his extra caution, always using a Mirror Image Clone to show himself, this avatar might have been completely obliterated by that cold intent.

Fortunately, he only suffered severe damage and was not wholly destroyed.

On the other side, after the Five Zhas finished devouring the Divine Flame True Body, they immediately flew back to the side of the bone pillar, with Tu Zha personally sealing it into his Grotto Heaven.

Then, the Five Zhas sensed their master’s location and soon reunified with Zhao Sheng.

At this time, the seventeen waves of will had reduced by a full seven.

Meanwhile, a heated contest rapidly erupted around the six severed pieces of the Gun God’s Skeleton.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately led the Five Zhas towards the nearest ’battlefield of contention.’

A few breaths later, the dark water suddenly condensed into large amounts of ice crystals, an unimaginable terrifying wave surged from below.
