Chapter 2273: Chapter 2320: White Bone Warhorse’s True Form
Fortunately, after throwing the spear, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s arm completely collapsed into black mud.
His entire body dissolved into muddy water, SPLASHING out of his armor and spilling across the ground. Only a suit of black metal armor and a mask remained sitting on horseback.
Without any external interference, Jiang Fan underwent a perilous reshaping on the brink of death.
The Water of Life poured into his body depleted at an astonishing rate, bottoming out in just two breaths. Meanwhile, the destructive power that had infiltrated his body was completely worn away. Jiang Fan’s torn and shattered body finally fused back together, his injuries rapidly healing under the effects of the final drops of the Water of Life and his Second Domain.
COUGH, COUGH—
Even so, he coughed out a large mouthful of black, dirty blood mixed with bits of flesh. His body felt incredibly weak, as if drained of all strength, and he slumped against the wall of the bell with a THUD. Palpitating with lingering fear, a look of profound dread washed over his face.
He had witnessed the might of the Blood Spear more than once and thought he had a firm grasp of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s strength. Now, it seemed the Marquis’s terror far exceeded his expectations.
At this thought, he quickly looked toward the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. He found only a cold suit of armor remaining. The Blood Spear that had attacked him floated alone in the Void, drifting away with the turbulent currents. He didn’t feel relieved; on the contrary, a suffocating sensation of icy encirclement still gripped him.
"Is the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis... dead?" Jiang Fan murmured, a sense of unreality lingering in his heart.
Did the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, renowned as a Half-step Saint Realm expert, really just die like that? Projecting his senses outward, he confirmed there was no aura left inside the armor. Only the White Bone Warhorse remained, acting as if nothing had happened, keeping its head down to forage for food.
Only then did Jiang Fan finally breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how much potential the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis once had to break into the Saint Realm, he ultimately couldn’t withstand a peerless, lethal poison capable of killing a Saint. The nightmare that had haunted him since his Tribulation Crossing Nascent Soul stage had finally dissipated.
Next, it was time to harvest the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s spoils of war. He made a grasping motion through the air, and the Blood Spear tumbling in the turbulent currents flew rapidly toward him.
Just before it touched him, a handful of clear, transparent liquid flew out, drenching the Blood Spear completely. Layers of dirty blood and residual toxins were purged from it. Only then did Jiang Fan grab hold of the weapon.
An incredibly heavy sensation washed over him—he nearly dropped it! One must know, his Physique was currently at the Virtuous Realm Level! The weight of this Blood Spear was nearly catching up to the Big Black Dog’s Golden Big Stick. No wonder the Blood Spear possessed such terrifying power.
However, Jiang Fan frowned upon discovering that the Washing Spirit Liquid hadn’t washed away the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s Seal.
"Is there not enough Washing Spirit Liquid?" Jiang Fan murmured, taking out another splash of it to completely envelop the Blood Spear.
Yet, it still failed to wash out the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s Seal. He wondered what was going on. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was dead. A Seal that had lost its master should have been easy to remove. freewⅇbnovel.com
CRUNCH, CRUNCH...
The sound of chewing drifted over without warning. Jiang Fan turned his head, his pupils shrinking.
It was the White Bone Warhorse! It had its head lowered, gnawing on the fleshy bones within the blood moon! Large amounts of the flesh and blood of powerful cultivators were being chewed up and swallowed into its stomach!
Was this horse really that demonic? Jiang Fan shuddered, reminded of the Black Lotus of Tribulation. Both were great entities of pure evil in heaven and earth!
"Wicked beast!" Murderous intent flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes.
During their last battle at the Martial Vault, he had a chance to kill the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, but this White Bone Warhorse had swayed the tide of battle. Now that the Marquis was dead, he might as well send the beast down to meet its master!
SHING!
A Sword Box appeared before him. Upon opening it, over a hundred Top Grade Spirit Swords flew out, condensing into nine Lotus Sword Formations.
"Slash!" With a single thought from Jiang Fan, the massive Lotus Sword Formation overwhelmed the White Bone Warhorse like a dark storm cloud.
Although the sword array no longer possessed the two hundred blades from its peak, it still contained the formidable power to slay someone in the Two Calamities Realm. It was more than enough to kill this evil entity!
However, to Jiang Fan’s utter surprise, the sound of snapping metal suddenly echoed from the sword array. Focusing his gaze, he saw swaths of Top Grade Spirit Swords shattering one after another from the center of the array. It was as if something terrifying was tearing the sword array apart with its bare hands. The entire array fell into turmoil, trembling violently.
A breath later, an awe-inspiring, monstrous ferocity erupted from within the array.
The sword array was shattered on the spot into countless fragments that swept backward like a meteor shower, bombarding the Immortal King’s Undying Bell and drawing out a continuous string of ringing tremors.
Jiang Fan’s eyes grew heavy. "This fierce aura..." His heart sank fiercely.
When the meteor shower of fragments cleared, the entity that had struck finally reflected in his vision. It was... the armor!
The armor, whose wearer had clearly rotted entirely into black mud, was actually condensing new arms! Furthermore, the sunken chest was gradually filling out.
Jiang Fan drew in a sharp breath of cold air. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis... was reviving? His mind went blank for a split second.
Could a person really revive on the spot after their body was completely destroyed? Even Ancient Giants needed to retain a drop of blood and their Original Star to achieve that. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis had just turned entirely into black mud, his body and soul obliterated! How could he possibly revive?
CRUNCH, CRUNCH...
The chewing sounds of the White Bone Warhorse rang out again, and Jiang Fan abruptly came to a realization.
It was the White Bone Warhorse! It wasn’t some wicked entity at all. Instead, it was a... Great Pill! An Eighth-grade Heaven and Earth Great Pill!
Just as the Tongyuan Realm Master’s Remnant Soul had miraculously recovered to the Three Calamities Realm after obtaining the Source Soul Heaven Pill, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s warhorse was also an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill capable of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh on bare bones! It could convert external flesh and blood to Reshape the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s body!
Jiang Fan’s heart constricted sharply. He decisively drew the Execution Pen and splashed out the character for "Death" toward the White Bone Warhorse and the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!
From the empty chest of the armor, a cold, cruel, and familiar voice echoed out.
"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh heh heh...
"Ant, you didn’t think you could so easily kill an existence that has remained immortal through the ages, did you?"
As Jiang Fan rapidly stroked out the character for "Death," his thoughts raced. He finally understood why the calamity from ages past, which had caused the great destruction of the Daqian Divine Kingdom, failed to kill the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. He also finally understood why, throughout the eons, despite the Marquis’s overwhelming viciousness and the countless worlds he had offended, no one had successfully killed him for revenge.
It was because the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis had already fused into one with this Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill. As long as the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill existed, he was immortal and indestructible!
Watching as flesh and blood grew anew within the chest of the armor, signaling the Marquis’s imminent recovery, Jiang Fan moved his hand like lightning. Within a single breath, he finally outlined the complete character for "Death"!
"Then I’ll just kill you again!" With a low roar, Jiang Fan tapped the tip of the pen, unleashing the word!
The sky-blotting character for "Death" shrouded the firmament like a vast, inescapable heavenly net. Seeming to sense it, the White Bone Warhorse tapped its hooves. The blood moon beneath its feet parted, and the skeletal remains of countless living beings were peeled out from within, crashing toward the character for "Death."
The moment they made contact, the skeletons instantly rotted into ash. The portion of the "Death" character that bore the brunt of the impact dimmed slightly as a result.
However, it was as if an endless supply of skeletons had been prepared within the blood moon, continuously slamming into the word. In the end, by the time the character for "Death" pierced through, a massive gap had already been melted into it!
