NovelEnglishChapter 1479: Dao Attainment of the Skeleton
Apart from countless malevolent ghosts, there were also some terrifying living beings in the Kunlun Ruins!
After killing the Scarletback Centipede, Nian Qi descended and looked in another direction.
On the other side stood a white-robed man at the Conjoint Body realm. He was handsome and had sparkling eyes. Standing not far away, his clothes fluttered and he looked elegant.
At that time, when she wanted to pluck the Malevolent Spirit Fruit, two voices reminded her.
One of them was Su Zimo and the other was this white-robed man.
“My gratitude, Fellow Daoist,”
Nian Qi cupped her fists towards that person and expressed her thanks.
“No problem,”
The white-robed man smiled gently. “Pardon me for being bold. By the looks of it, you guys must have just arrived at the Kunlun Ruins, right?”
“Yes,”
Nian Qi nodded—there was no need to hide this matter.
Su Zimo and Extreme Fire did not speak and merely sized up the white-robed man.
The white-robed man said, “There are dangers lurking everywhere in the ruins. There must be powerful ferocious beasts guarding a treasure like the Malevolent Spirit Fruit!”
“There are also some ferocious beasts that guard the vicinity of certain universal treasures to wait for other living beings to fall into their traps,”
At that point, the white-robed man’s eyes dimmed and his tone turned grim. “There were initially seven of us but we fell into a trap of a powerful ferocious beast. I was the only one who escaped death, sigh.”
When he heard that, Extreme Fire reminisced about the past and felt a sense of sympathy for the white-robed man.
However, he was still a little cautious as he probed, “Are you also here for this Malevolent Spirit Fruit?”
“I’m here for the Malevolent Spirit Fruit,”
The white-robed man smiled and looked at Nian Qi, saying honestly, “However, this Malevolent Spirit Fruit clearly belongs to this Fellow Daoist.”
Extreme Fire nodded slightly.
Of course, in the cultivation world, humans were unpredictable. This was their first time meeting and no one could guarantee the other party’s thoughts with just a few words.

“This…”
Extreme Fire was hesitant.
Normally speaking, the three of them were familiar with one another and were resistant towards strangers.
However, this was the Kunlun Ruins!
When Extreme Fire heard about this person’s encounter, he could not help but recall his past self. If he allowed this person to wander around the Kunlun Ruins alone, the latter would most likely be doomed.
“Should we bring him along?”
Extreme Fire sent a voice transmission secretly, “Given the three of us, we can deal with him easily if he has any evil intentions.”
Nian Qi did not object and merely looked at Su Zimo.
In her heart, Su Zimo would be the one to decide for such matters.
Ever since the white-robed man appeared, Su Zimo had not said anything.
Suddenly, he asked, “How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?”
“I’m Spirit Scar,”
The white-robed man smiled gently.
Su Zimo nodded. “I’m Desolate Martial.”
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial,”
The white-robed man cupped his fists towards Su Zimo.
Although their conversation was simple, Extreme Fire and Nian Qi’s expressions changed slightly!
Both of them could tell that something was amiss!
The white-robed man was way too calm when he heard the name Desolate Martial!
Su Zimo’s gaze was dark as he asked with a fake smile, “Seems like you’ve never heard of me, Fellow Daoist?”
The white-robed man smiled apologetically. “I’m an itinerant cultivator that cultivates in seclusion most of the time. I don’t know much about the cultivation world and am inexperienced. I must be quite a joke to you, Fellow Daoist,”
That explanation made sense.
However, Extreme Fire and Nian Qi were already wary!
Desolate Martial established his Dao and imparted martial arts to all living beings, shocking the world. Even itinerant cultivators who were in seclusion all year round and were isolated from the world could not have not heard of Desolate Martial’s name!
Su Zimo smiled as well and asked, “How long more are you going to pretend for?”
The smile on the white-robed man’s face did not fade and his expression turned odd. A sinister aura emanated from him as he rubbed his palms and laughed. “Impressive. In all these years, there have been many cultivators who entered the Kunlun Ruins but you’re the first to see through my disguise.”
Both Extreme Fire and Nian Qi felt their scalps tingle!
Even though the white-robed man was exposed by Su Zimo, the two of them could not make out what he was still!
If they had truly allowed this person to travel with them, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Actually, even Su Zimo could not see through this person’s true body.
However, after the white-robed man appeared, Su Zimo’s spirit perception warned him repeatedly and that was why he tested the waters!
“Let’s see what you are!”
Su Zimo did not waste his breath on the white-robed man and flicked his finger.
Chi!
A blinding white sword qi burst forth and arrived before the white-robed man instantly!
The sharpness of the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi caused the white-robed man’s expression to change slightly!
Swash!
The white-robed man swayed and disappeared before Su Zimo and the other two, shifting to the other side at an astonishing speed!
Even Extreme Fire’s gaze could not catch up to him.
The white-robed man’s figure reappeared with a gash on his cheek that was oozing with blood and a nauseating stench!
Although the white-robed man dodged extremely quickly, his cheek was still sliced by the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi.
“So, a skeleton attained the Dao and even managed to grow flesh and blood!”
Sneering coldly, Su Zimo strode forward and closed two fingers, waving and slashing towards the white-robed man!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTsk! Tsk! Tsk!
More than ten Heaven Slaying Sword Qi burst forth and tore in different directions towards the white-robed man!
“Ah!”
Sensing danger, the white-robed man suddenly shrieked!
The flesh on his body suddenly dissipated, turning into streams of thick malevolent qi that condensed into malevolent spears that charged towards the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi!
The white-robed man was left with nothing but a skeleton as he stood on the spot.
The skeleton was evidently strange, as though it was pieced together from various bones—there were Dragon bones, Golden Crow bones and even bones of the God race!
The skeleton first used the corpses in the Kunlun Ruins to piece together a body of bones. After obtaining the Dao, it used malevolent qi to condense the flesh.
If the skeleton were to continue cultivating, it would be no different from a true cultivator!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The malevolent spears released by the skeleton collided with the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi and were not disadvantaged. An ear-piercing sound of collision could be heard!
The skeleton already had the cultivation of a Half-Martial Ancestor!
Su Zimo’s gaze intensified as he strode forward and conjured hand seals with both hands, chanting Sanskrit!
“Om… Ma… Ni… Pa… Mi… Hom!”
The moment the six words of Daming Mantra were released, six Daming Dharmic Seals descended at the same time!
Dharmic arts of the Buddhist monasteries were the most lethal for the skeleton!
When the Great Vajra Wheel and Great Mount Meru Seals descended, the skeleton shuddered and its bones creaked as though they were about to fall apart!
Su Zimo sat down and clasped his palms together. He lowered his head like an accomplished monk and recited a series of incantations with a dignified expression.
The Great Light Mantra!
The Auditory Release Mantra!
The Sensory Enigma Mantra!
The Six Paths Diamond Mantra!
All of those incantations were used to free the dead and purify their grievances!
A ball of Yin Spirit struggled endlessly from the glabella of the skeleton. However, it gradually could not withstand the consecutive incantations and was eventually extinguished.
Swoosh!
The skeleton scattered to the ground, returning to dust..
