Fighting Eight Sacrifices to Forge Bones

That Evil Path Elder was a genuine Bone Forging Realm expert, on the same level as Elder Sun and the others, and definitely not comparable to those shoddy Elders from the Blood Luo Sect.

If Long Chen had not advanced to the thirteenth stage of Blood Condensation, in the face of that terrifying pressure, let alone fighting, even moving would have been extremely difficult.

Clutching Evil Slayer tightly in his hand, this terrifying divine weapon calmed his mind significantly, filling him with Battle Intent even when facing a Bone Forging Realm expert.

"You go die!"

Long Chen let out a loud shout, gripped the saber with both hands, concentrated all his strength at the tip of the blade, and slashed fiercely at that Evil Path Elder.

"Boom!"

When Evil Slayer struck the Elder's palm, Long Chen felt as if the Evil Path Elder's bones were weapons themselves, sending him flying backward from the impact.

However, that Evil Path Elder did not have it easy either; under Long Chen's blow, he retreated over a dozen steps. Even as a Bone Forging Realm expert, he could not completely ignore Long Chen's strength.

"Bone Forging, Bone Forging, so that's how it is. It is refining the bones to make one's own skeleton sturdier than steel."

Long Chen shook his slightly numb arm, finally understanding the significance of the Bone Forging Realm.

Qi Gathering, Blood Condensation, Tendon Changing, Bone Forging—the first three Realms continuously increase the strength of flesh and blood. Only when reaching the Bone Forging Realm and having the skeleton strengthened can one truly unleash the true power of the Physical Body. This is what true Bone Forging is.

What Long Chen did not know was that the Bone Forging Realm requires consuming a massive amount of energy to refine bones. For bottom-tier Schools like the Blood Luo Sect, their Bone Forging Realm Elders could only refine a single bone.

Because if they refined more, their Sect could not support the cost. Most importantly, their talent was average, so refining more was simply a waste.

The Bone Sacrificing Realm is a very special Realm, where one usually chooses how many bones to refine themselves.

Only after making the choice does the refining begin. However, the more bones one refines, the more terrifying the Physical Body becomes, and the stronger the pressure generated after Bone Forging.

This is also why Long Chen could easily kill the Blood Luo Sect Elders, because they were all "One-Sacrifice" Bone Forging Realm experts.

In other words, they had only refined one bone, which was their forearm bone—the forearm they used to wield their weapons.

This is the only choice for most such bottom-tier Bone Forging experts because this bone provides a massive boost to their attacks, making their strikes incredibly sharp.

But Elders like the one before him and those from major Sects like Elder Sun have strong resource support and are "Eight-Sacrifice" Bone Forging experts.

They each refined the two arm bones in their arms and the two leg bones in their thighs, totaling eight bones that provide the greatest assistance to strength.

The Bone Forging Realm is the most expensive Realm among the five Innate Realms: Qi Gathering, Blood Condensation, Tendon Changing, Bone Forging, and Meridian Opening.

This Realm requires a massive amount of resources to pile up, and for every additional bone refined, the resources consumed double compared to the previous one.

Such terrifying consumption is something even major Sects cannot handle, so basically, most Genius Disciples are sent to the Xuantian Branch School for cultivation before entering the Bone Forging Realm.

As for the remaining Tendon Changing Realm experts, they can only act as law enforcers in the Sect like Senior Brother Wan and the others, earning remuneration to accumulate resources for their future advancement to Bone Forging.

Like the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm expert before him, having refined eight bones, the strength of his Physical Body alone is dozens of times that of an ordinary Bone Forging Realm expert. They are simply not on the same level; this is the gap.

Otherwise, how could he have sent the freakish Long Chen flying with just a single fist?

"Hmph, you have some brute strength. Let's see how many of my punches you can take. In front of this old man, you are nothing but an ant!"

That Evil Path Elder was somewhat shocked, but immediately sneered and swung another punch at Long Chen.

As the punch was thrown, the Void Realm rippled, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Long Chen felt as if the surrounding space was about to be crushed.

Long Chen was so angry his lungs were about to explode. You, a Bone Forging Realm expert, an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years, have the nerve to shamelessly attack me, a mere Blood Condensation Realm cultivator, and still act all high and mighty?

"Damn you!"

Long Chen let out a roar, the Fengfu Star operated at full power, and his entire body's Spiritual Qi poured madly into Evil Slayer.

"Hum!"

Supported by Long Chen's Spiritual Qi, Evil Slayer seemed to come alive, emitting a roar. The patterns on Evil Slayer lit up, shimmering with light like flowing water.

"Boom!"

Evil Slayer clashed head-on with the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder again. This time, the force was even greater than the last, and the entire battlefield shook violently.

Long Chen and the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder were both sent flying backward. The Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder looked horrified; he had just unleashed a full-power blow, yet it was still blocked by Long Chen.

Long Chen was shaken, his blood and Qi churning, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. This old ghost of the Bone Forging Realm was too strong.

"Everyone, go protect Long Chen!" Tu Fang's voice spread across the entire battlefield.

Originally, Tu Fang was focused on fighting the Ghost Eye Old Freak, as the two had been fighting for many years, their cultivation levels were evenly matched, and neither dared to be careless.

When he saw Long Chen kill a Dao Deriver, he knew this battle was basically won. The key was for them to hold off these Evil Path Elders and not let them kill the Righteous Path Disciples.

However, the clash between Long Chen and that Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder just now shook the entire battlefield. When Tu Fang saw Long Chen fighting an "Eight-Sacrifice" Bone Forging Realm expert, he couldn't help but be startled and immediately ordered everyone to support Long Chen.

Even if Long Chen was an anomaly and would not die at someone else's hands, it did not mean he would not be defeated. If Long Chen were captured alive by the Evil Path, this battle would be reversed again.

Tu Fang's voice spread across the entire battlefield, and everyone heard it. Especially the Elders of the Xuantian Dao Sect—seeing Long Chen facing an "Eight-Sacrifice" expert, they were all anxious and erupted with all their strength, crazily charging toward Long Chen's direction.

"Hahaha, you want to save him? Keep dreaming!"

That Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder let out a sky-shaking laugh, and suddenly his whole body glowed. On his exposed arms, countless strange patterns emerged.

"Kid, you have no idea how terrifying the true Bone Forging Realm is. I'll be kind and let you witness it! Eight-Bone Body Protection!"

As the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder roared, the clothes on his arms and thighs were all shattered, and patterns resembling bones appeared on his skin.

Once those patterns appeared, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and his Aura suddenly surged to an extremely terrifying level.

Long Chen's heart raced wildly; he truly hadn't expected Bone Forging Realm experts to be this terrifying.

What he didn't know was that Bone Forging Realm experts who reached above "Four-Sacrifice" could use their own bones as containers to store a massive amount of energy.

This is like a Seal; they continuously inject energy into it during normal times, and at critical moments, they break the Seal to release terrifying energy.

This is the strongest trump card of the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder, one he would never use under normal circumstances. But Long Chen was simply too strong and posed too great a threat to the Evil Path.

He had to kill Long Chen before the Righteous Path Elders arrived to rescue him. If Long Chen were rescued, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Having activated Eight-Bone Body Protection, the Aura on the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder was so strong it made people tremble. He took a step forward, and his withered hand, like a life-taking claw, slapped down toward Long Chen.

Even from a distance of dozens of zhang, Long Chen still felt his bones turning cold. Before the attack even arrived, the terrifying pressure made it difficult for Long Chen to breathe, and his whole body felt as if it were about to split open.

"If this continues, I'll definitely die. I must go all out!"

Long Chen took a deep breath. The Fengfu Star, which had been spinning rapidly, stopped instantly. At the same time, a terrifying Aura erupted within Long Chen's body, as if an ancient Vicious Beast had Awakened.

"Fengfu Battle Body—Appear!"

Following a roar in Long Chen's heart, a star pattern appeared in his eyes. With the appearance of the pattern, the ground beneath Long Chen's feet shattered, and a straight pillar of Qi shot straight into the sky, flying up ten thousand zhang and causing the clouds in all directions to move.

His clothes fluttered, his long hair flew, and the space around him was constantly twisting due to Long Chen's power. At this moment, Long Chen was like a God of War descending to the world, filled with an Aura that looked down upon the universe.

Seeing the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder slapping down with a palm, Long Chen's long saber roared, and the runes on the blade all lit up. It was like a heavenly blade slashing down the galaxy, hacking down at the Evil Path Elder.

"Boom!"

Evil Slayer and the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder's rune-covered palm collided fiercely. The ground collapsed, the sky swayed, and a terrifying wave of air swept in all directions.

Even the Evil Path Disciples several miles away were shaken into dust; this blow shocked everyone.

"What?"

Ghost Eye Old Freak was greatly shocked. He could never have dreamed that a kid in the Blood Condensation Realm could block a full-power blow from an "Eight-Sacrifice" Bone Forging expert. Perhaps even Yin Luo, hailed as the number one Genius in a thousand years, could not do it.

The blow was heaven-shaking, moving the clouds in all directions. The battle across the entire field slowed down, and everyone couldn't help but look this way.

Seeing Long Chen looking like a Heavenly God had possessed him, majestic and imposing, peerlessly domineering, actually blocking an Evil Path supreme expert with a single slash.

Yin Luo and Mo Nian, who were fighting crazily in the distance, were also attracted by this. A smile appeared on the corner of Mo Nian's mouth: "No wonder whenever I looked at him, I always felt something was wrong. So he is also an expert at the level of a Dao Deriver. He hides really deep."

When he first saw Long Chen, he had a intuition that this person was very special. But where he was special, he couldn't say. That was why he had taken off his cloak that day and stated his name—it was a kind of respect for the strong.

Yin Luo looked at Long Chen in the distance, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes. The golden long spear in his hand shook, and he was about to rush toward Long Chen; he wanted to kill Long Chen with his own hands.

"You really don't take me seriously at all. Since that's the case, then stop holding back."

Mo Nian suddenly let out a long whistle, and a pair of transparent wings suddenly appeared behind him. The wings were three zhang long, graceful and agile, like a water curtain.

As soon as those wings appeared, Mo Nian's Aura suddenly became violent. The long bow in his hand moved, and thousands of golden lights flew toward Yin Luo.

Yin Luo's expression changed. He held his golden spear horizontally in front of him and roared. A faint phantom appeared behind him, and violent energy soared into the sky.

Yin Luo and Mo Nian had both been testing each other before, because they could both feel the other's strength, so they were very cautious.

However, having tested each other for so long, they finally both lost patience and began to erupt with full power, engaging in the final battle.

The battle between Yin Luo and Mo Nian in the distance suddenly escalated. Violent power erupted, roaring continuously, the sound shaking the long sky.

On Long Chen's side, Evil Slayer and the Evil Path Bone Forging Realm Elder's hand were pressed tightly together, both of them staring fixedly at each other.

"Go die!"
