Chapter 59

Zhu Ganglie and Dao Yin each flew away. Although they were together and could take care of each other, in this place where the sky was almost entirely filled with extraterrestrial demons, being together made them more conspicuous. After all, even combined, they were no match for the countless demons.

After separating, they each relied on their own abilities and luck. As Zhu Ganglie flew, the countless extraterrestrial demons followed, forcing him to take action amidst his shock. Since demons surrounded him from all directions, there was almost no way to escape or avoid them. The only thing that made Zhu Ganglie feel relieved was that most of these extraterrestrial demons were transparent and formless, with the strongest ones only just beginning to take shape.

He then flicked his wrist, and the Tower of Sealing floated above his head, emitting white light that began to absorb these extraterrestrial demons. The Tower of Sealing could absorb bones and divine souls to increase its power and enhance its restrictions, and this place was perfect for boosting the tower's strength.

After the Tower of Sealing protected him, Zhu Ganglie still felt uneasy and wrapped himself in the Ice Spirit Banner. Two beams of Buddha light appeared behind his head, firmly protecting him. In his hand, he held the Primordial Yang Ruler, with nine flames of Duro Rate floating on it, directly blasting away the surrounding extraterrestrial demons.

The Buddha light behind his head grew brighter, emitting waves of Buddhist chants. Many extraterrestrial demons were directly annihilated upon encountering this Buddha light, which also became more radiant. Both the Buddha light and the Duro Rate fire were extremely yang and powerful, making them the bane of the extraterrestrial demons.

After securing his position, Zhu Ganglie released another hand, and the Be Ye Fragrant Cloud transformed into a massive river, surging and expanding around him. The river spewed out, enveloping and crushing countless extraterrestrial demons. The river contained pure yang thunder water, which also had an extremely yang and powerful nature, causing the enveloped extraterrestrial demons to disintegrate.

This series of attacks eliminated a large number of the dense and endless extraterrestrial demons. However, these extraterrestrial demons lacked intelligence and were driven only by their instinctive greed for flesh and divine souls, clawing and lunging from a distance.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie knew he couldn't continue this struggle, or he would eventually be exhausted and die here. He pointed his hand, and a beam of Buddha light shot out, transforming into a massive Buddha statue inscribed with scriptures. This hundred-foot Buddha statue faced away from the masses, slowly transforming into a golden scripture, standing tall between heaven and earth.

Boundless Buddha light shone, turning the surrounding area into a land of Buddha light. Countless extraterrestrial demons were directly reduced to dust and disappeared. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhu Ganglie dove into the river of cold air formed by the Heavenly River, using his unmatched strength to break through the surrounding extraterrestrial demons and disappear into the sky.

After escaping, Zhu Ganglie directly entered the Tower of Sealing. Only in this way could he completely isolate his aura, preventing the extraterrestrial demons from sensing his flesh and blood. This place was too dangerous, and as far as the eye could see, there were almost no living beings except for extraterrestrial demons and bone demons.

Inside the Tower of Sealing, the tower transformed into a white jade demon god, beginning to collect and refine the bones on the ground. These bones were from ancient times and had survived for billions of years, indicating their preciousness. After refining a large number of bones and extraterrestrial demons, the restrictions of the Tower of Sealing were enhanced, becoming a fourth-level restricted magical artifact.

However, the white jade demon god transformed by the Tower of Sealing once again became a bone demon god. Although Zhu Ganglie found this strange, he also thought it was convenient, as the bone demons in the outer region of the Return to the Abyss were just skeletons, differing only in size from the bone demon god.

This allowed him to better hide. The bone demon god walked in the outer region of the Return to the Abyss, devouring the white bones on the ground and the extraterrestrial demons, gradually enhancing the power of the Tower of Sealing, making it increasingly powerful. This was the only thing that made Zhu Ganglie happy about coming to the Return to the Abyss.

Another benefit was that he could focus on refining the Great Vajra Formed Demon here. The Return to the Abyss had extremely thin primordial energy, making it impossible to cultivate here. However, since he was already at the peak of the Manifestation stage and was recently touching the Possession stage, he could use this time to cultivate, enhancing his mind and divine soul, allowing him to touch the next level.

As the bone demon god transformed by the Tower of Sealing stepped on the ground, he gradually noticed a group of bone demons following him. This made Zhu Ganglie very curious. He crushed a bone demon and learned from the faint divine soul within about the situation here. These bone demons were the remains of ancient strong beings that had developed a faint consciousness over billions of years, becoming the current bone demons. They had no awareness, only a vague instinct to kill extraterrestrial demons and devour them to enhance their strength. The more powerful the bone demon, the larger its form.

The Tower of Sealing had absorbed too many bones, transforming into a bone demon god that was a hundred feet tall. Although Zhu Ganglie consciously suppressed it, it was still several feet tall, three times larger than the bone demons. This made the bone demons instinctively follow, a form of worship for the strong.

Zhu Ganglie ignored the bone demons following him, knowing that they would be a great help when facing the extraterrestrial demons. After walking for half a day, Zhu Ganglie suddenly saw a massive bone mountain. Although it was only a few dozen miles wide and a few dozen meters high, the mountain of white bones instilled a sense of fear.

Bone demons of various sizes roamed around, but when Zhu Ganglie scanned the area with his divine sense, he did not detect any powerful aura. It seemed to be a solitary bone mountain. Zhu Ganglie used his magic to scan the mountain and found countless bone demons, with the aura at the peak being the strongest.

The bone demons at the base of the mountain immediately attacked the bone demon god transformed by Zhu Ganglie. However, these bone demons were too weak, and the bone demon god easily crushed them, absorbing them into his body and slowly refining them.

Zhu Ganglie became very interested in the bone mountain and began to climb it, step by step, with the bone demons following. Fortunately, he could handle all the bone demons. When he reached the halfway point, a massive bone demon, as large as the bone demon god, appeared, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

Facing the massive bone demon, the bone demon god revealed its hundred-foot form and destroyed the bone demon with a single punch, devouring it. This made the bone demon god even more powerful, and its restrictions reached the seventh level.

After destroying these bone demons, Zhu Ganglie successfully reached the top of the bone mountain. There were no bone demons on the mountain, but there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged with crystal-clear bones. Four long swords were embedded in the back of the skeleton, rusty but emitting a killing aura that made Zhu Ganglie shudder.

Observing the skeleton, its bones were like crystal-clear white jade, emitting a faint glow, indicating that it was the remains of a great being. This made Zhu Ganglie extremely pleased. With this skeleton, his Tower of Sealing could likely reach the ninth level of restrictions and even become a treasure. The four long swords behind it might also be refined into treasures.

Zhu Ganglie extended his hand, intending to grab the skeleton and the swords. As the bone demon god's hands reached out, a faint and extremely cold hum sounded, and a sharp sword aura shot out, heading straight for the bone demon god's head.

Zhu Ganglie was greatly alarmed and, without hesitation, the Heavenly Sword Pill shot out, emitting a sword aura that collided with the sword aura. The two sword auras collided, and Zhu Ganglie immediately jumped back, trying to escape. In his haste, he used the fastest reaction, the Gourd Sword Technique, but the collision made him realize that his strength was almost negligible compared to this person.

As he leaped back, the Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf activated, attempting to hide and escape.

"Gourd Sword Technique?"

However, before Zhu Ganglie could hide, a massive suction force pulled him to the skeleton, and a faint thought entered his mind.
