System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

243: The Bone-Splitting Demon General, at the dawn of chaosOutside the eastern node, Devilish Qi surged to the heavens.

A behemoth was frantically hammering against the barrier of light flickering with runes.

It stood over ten zhang tall, resembling a skinned, muscular giant ape. Pale white bone spurs pierced through its muscles and were exposed to the air, especially on its arms, which were covered in layers of jagged, saw-like bone blades.

Each strike carried a terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart, along with a dense, filthy Aura of the abyss, causing the barrier to tremble violently and the runes on the light screen to flicker unsteadily.

This was one of the three Demon Generals—the Bone-Splitting Demon General!

Surrounding it were low-level devilish creatures like a tide, emitting irritating roars as they constantly assaulted the defensive line formed by the Wood Spirit Clan’s ”Green Vine Guards.”

The Green Vine Guards warriors relied on the tough vines extending from ancient trees and the terrain to fight back desperately, but casualties continued to rise.

”Lord Ye Chen, that is the Bone-Splitting Demon General!” Elder Mu Huan’s voice sounded in Ye Chen’s ear, grave. ”It possesses infinite strength, and its bone blades are incomparably sharp and contain deadly poison, capable of corroding life energy and extremely countering our clan’s Spells. In the previous few counterattacks, several of our clan’s experts perished under its bone blades.”

Ye Chen locked his gaze onto the berserk figure, feeling the formidable Devilish Qi of the Middle Stage of Law Realm on it. It was slightly inferior to his own Peak state, but his injuries had not yet healed; with the changing tides of power, this battle would certainly not be easy.

”Proceed according to the plan; create an opportunity for me to get close to it,” Ye Chen said in a deep voice, while swallowing the ”life source dew” without hesitation.

”Boom!”

A massive, sea-like, and extremely pure life energy instantly exploded within his body!

Like sweet rain after a long drought, this energy surged wildly into his damaged Meridians, internal organs, and bones. The wounds left from taking the Dark Spear head-on healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his broken arm bone emitted a faint hum as it quickly reconnected and recovered!

Not only that, this power of the life Origin resonated miraculously with his own Chaos Law, as if igniting a wisp of the fire of vitality in the desolate Chaos, giving him a momentary epiphany regarding the ”life” aspect of Chaos.

His previously exhausted Divine Soul and physical strength were also recovering rapidly, even showing faint signs of improvement!

Although he knew there would be a period of weakness after the effect wore off, at this moment, Ye Chen’s state was instantly pushed to its Peak, even stronger than before he was injured!

”Act!” Seeing this, Elder Mu Huan no longer hesitated and slammed his green wood staff heavily onto the ground!

”Ten Thousand Vine Strangulation!”

Following his order, the ground within the barrier shook, and countless thick, metallic-lustered green vines burst from the soil, like giant pythons awakening, instantly rushing into the devilish tide!

These vines were not only incredibly tough but also contained powerful binding and life purification forces. Wherever they passed, low-level devilish creatures were crushed and purified, forcibly carving out a temporary path straight to the Bone-Splitting Demon General amidst the dense devilish tide!

”Roar?! How dare you, ants!”

The Bone-Splitting Demon General sensed the commotion, its scarlet pupils suddenly turning toward the end of the path, where it saw the streak of Chaos Sword Qi rushing towards it!

It felt the Aura of Chaos on Ye Chen that it loathed, as well as his suddenly surging Aura, and a hint of ferocity appeared on its brutal face.

It gave up attacking the barrier, and its huge bone-blade arms, accompanied by a sharp whistle that tore through the air, swung toward Ye Chen like two mountain-splitting giant axes, crossing from left and right!

Before the blades even arrived, the terrifying force field and corrosive poisonous mist had already descended, intending to tear Ye Chen and the space around him to shreds and annihilate them!

”Well come!”

A sharp light exploded in Ye Chen’s eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

The power of the life source dew surged within his body. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a gray Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme and seemingly containing the Concept of opening heaven and earth, shot out!

”Chaos—Heaven Opening!”

This was one of the killing moves he had comprehended from the Chaos Law, taking the meaning of the beginning of Chaos, separating the clear from the turbid, and using peerless sharpness to break through all ignorance and obstacles!

”Chi—!”

The gray Sword Qi collided violently with the crossing bone blades!

There was no earth-shattering roar as expected, only a strange sound, as if cloth were being torn!

The bone blades, which were sufficient to easily cut through mountains and corrode Law, had the abyss rules contained within them forcibly ”sliced open” by that Heaven Opening Concept the moment they touched the Chaos Sword Qi!

The Sword Qi was unstoppable, slicing upwards along the texture of the bone blades!

”What?!”

The Bone-Splitting Demon General let out a roar of shock and anger, feeling its invincible bone blades emitting a groan of being overwhelmed!

It abruptly withdrew its strength and retreated, only to see that on the indestructible bone blades of its arms, two terrifying sword marks, several feet deep and nearly severing them, had been slashed!

Gray Qi lingered at the wounds, constantly eroding its demon bones and preventing them from healing!

The power of a single sword strike, to such an extent!

Not only was the Bone-Splitting Demon General horrified, but even Elder Mu Huan and the Green Vine Guards watching nervously from behind were shocked to their cores!

They had fought the Bone-Splitting Demon General before and knew well the terror of its bone blades; ordinary Law Realm weapons could hardly damage them at all, yet now they had been nearly severed by Ye Chen’s single sword strike!

”Chaos Walker... truly lives up to its reputation!” Elder Mu Huan’s beard trembled with excitement.

The Bone-Splitting Demon General was both shocked and angry. Its massive body suddenly erupted with monstrous devilish flames, and the slashed bone blades were forcibly mended under the infusion of Devilish Qi, but its Aura was clearly in slight disarray.

It stared fixedly at Ye Chen, no longer daring to underestimate him in the slightest.

”Worm! You have angered me!” The Bone-Splitting Demon General roared, the bone spurs all over its body standing on end. Devilish Qi condensed into countless pitch-black bone spears, covering Ye Chen like a rainstorm!

At the same time, it slammed its huge feet onto the ground, and shockwaves containing corrosive and vibrational forces spread along the ground toward Ye Chen!

Facing this omnidirectional attack, Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

The effect of the life source dew was still present; he felt his whole body surging with power, as if he had endless strength.

His figure was steady, like a mountain, weaving through the dense rain of bone spears, avoiding attacks at every critical moment.

Sword Qi crisscrossed in his hands, shattering the bone spears that he could not avoid one by one.

As for the shockwaves on the ground, he stomped down directly, and the power of the Chaos Law radiated from his body, forcibly suppressing and devouring that corrosive and vibrational force!

”Is that all?” Ye Chen coldly shouted, taking the initiative to launch an attack!

His body transformed into thousands of sword shadows, indistinguishable between real and fake, attacking the Bone-Splitting Demon General from all directions!

Each sword shadow contained the Concept of Chaos Heaven Opening, and although not as condensed as that first sword strike, it was still amazingly powerful, specifically seeking out the weak points in the Bone-Splitting Demon General’s bone armor connections, as well as the sword marks previously slashed, to attack!

The Bone-Splitting Demon General roared repeatedly, its massive body now a target. It swung its bone blades to block, but it couldn’t defend against everything.

New wounds appeared on its body one after another. Although they were not deep, that persistent Chaos Sword Qi, like maggots on bone, kept invading its body, disrupting the circulation of its Devilish Qi and making it extremely irritated.

It tried to break finesse with brute force, launching area-of-effect attacks, but Ye Chen’s movement technique was too flexible and could always avoid them in advance.

It wanted to summon the devilish tide to besiege him, but was firmly blocked by the Green Vine Guards commanded by Elder Mu Huan.

With the changing tides of power, the Bone-Splitting Demon General’s Aura began to decline, while Ye Chen fought more bravely as the battle progressed, his application of the combination of Chaos Law and the power of the life source dew becoming increasingly skillful.

”It’s about time...” A cold light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes as he detected a flaw in the Bone-Splitting Demon General.

The surging power within his body gathered at his fingertips again, and a gray Sword Qi, even more solid and restrained than before, quietly took shape. At the tip of the sword, a point of extreme sharpness seemed capable of piercing through the barriers of the world!

However, just at the moment he was preparing to unleash this fatal blow—

”Hum!”

A strong sense of weakness struck suddenly like a tide! The effect of the life source dew had reached its limit!

The surging power dissipated rapidly like an ebbing tide, replaced by an exhaustion and emptiness that went deep into his bone marrow!

His originally stable and powerful Aura, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted suddenly!

”Oh no!” Ye Chen’s expression changed, and his figure couldn’t help but falter.

And the Bone-Splitting Demon General, which had been suppressed and was in a sorry state, suddenly erupted with blood-colored light in its scarlet pupils!

”Hahaha! Worm! Your secret technique time is up! Die for this General!!”

It seized this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, gathered all its Devilish Qi, and all its bone spurs simultaneously erupted with dark light, condensing onto the bone blade of its right arm, transforming into a hundred-zhang devilish blade that tore through the heavens and earth, and with a ferocious Aura of destroying everything, it hacked down at Ye Chen, whose Aura had plummeted and whose figure was stiff!

This blow condensed all the rage and power of the Bone-Splitting Demon General, determined to completely erase Ye Chen along with this area!
