Chapter 485: You Came to Deliver a Heavenly Flame, and Now You Want to Leave? Get Back Here!
After exchanging another move with Wu Tian, Bone Ghost Saint immediately realized he was no match.
Without hesitation, he whirled around, channeling his full strength into a devastating blast against the soul barrier that enclosed the courtyard.
"BOOM!"
As expected of a legendary Half Saint, his attack was devastatingly powerful. A surge of overwhelming energy erupted, merging with his blazing flames as they crashed into the invisible barrier.
In an instant, countless cracks splintered across the barrier, tiny fragments of soul energy scattering like shattered glass.
Seeing this, Bone Ghost Saint grinned with relief, his body transforming into a streak of black light, darting toward the broken opening.
However, just as he reached it…
His body froze in place.
Because right before him was another barrier.
A second soul barrier, identical to the first.
This was a humiliation beyond words.
The Lord of the Cai Lin Pavilion had actually managed to create two immensely powerful soul barriers each capable of trapping a Dou Venerate indefinitely!
Such barriers were legendary in the Dou Qi Continent. Many strong cultivators had been trapped within ancient ruins due to similar soul formations, including multiple Dou Venerates.
Wu Tian smirked, watching Bone Ghost's face darken with fury.
"Hmph! You dare humiliate me?! You leave me no choice!"
As soon as Bone Ghost Saint's words fell, a monstrous surge of energy erupted from his body far stronger than before.
This was his full power.
Around him, a colossal fiery tornado formed, stretching from earth to sky, engulfing the entire courtyard.
His black robe was instantly torn apart by the violent energy, revealing his gaunt, skeletal body.
It was clear even he could barely control this technique.
As a Half Saint, not all Half Saints are equal.
There were low tier, mid tier, and high tier Half Saints.
Bone Ghost Saint was a high tier Half Saint, meaning he was just a step away from becoming a true Dou Saint.
Unfortunately, that "final step" could take decades, even centuries to cross.
Judging by his emaciated form, it was clear he had been stuck at this stage for far too long.
But even so a high tier Half Saint was a terrifying force.
His full power unleashed, a catastrophic storm of energy descended upon the courtyard.
A tornado of blazing flames roared skyward, incinerating everything in its path.
The stone table between Wu Tian and Queen Medusa was instantly reduced to dust.
As for Wu Tian?
At this moment, he was casually holding onto Queen Medusa's slender waist, his grip possessive yet indulgent.
The two of them stood calmly on the ground, watching Bone Ghost hovering in the sky like he was nothing more than a lively firework.
Bone Ghost didn't care about anything else now.
His full strength was unleashed, causing the soul barrier to finally shatter.
Tiny soul fragments floated in the air only to be immediately devoured by his fiery tornado.
"Hmph!"
But just as the barrier shattered, a majestic presence suddenly descended from the starry sky above.
A voice, calm yet ancient, echoed through the courtyard.
"The Pill Tower will not tolerate the Soul Hall's arrogance!"
The instant this voice rang out, Bone Ghost's expression twisted in shock.
He snapped his head upward, his voice dark and cold
"Xuan Kong Zi?!"
A boundless, oppressive force filled the air.
Wu Tian frowned slightly this old man… was interfering.
Up above, the sky was empty not a single person was visible.
Yet the overwhelming spiritual pressure left no room for doubt this was the power of Xuan Kong Zi, the leader of the Pill Tower's Three Giants.
"Heh… Xuan Kong Zi, this matter has nothing to do with the Pill Tower. Why meddle?"
Bone Ghost's voice turned sinister, his gaze flickering with annoyance.
"..."
Xuan Kong Zi fell silent for a moment before responding calmly yet resolutely:
"This is the Sacred Pill City. If we allow you to act recklessly here, how would we answer to the world?"
"If you wish to cause destruction, will you be responsible for the consequences?"
"Or perhaps, should we visit the Soul Hall's territory and return the favor?"
Xuan Kong Zi's ancient voice resonated through the heavens, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.
His spiritual power rippled like waves of a vast ocean, sending chills down Bone Ghost's spine.
He knew exactly where Xuan Kong Zi was speaking from
The Celestial Realm.
Within the Pill Tower's core domain, Xuan Kong Zi's spiritual power was immensely powerful, comparable to that of a high tier Half Saint.
If combined with the other two Giants, plus the Pill Realm's power, their collective strength would easily rival the Soul Hall's strongest forces.
This was why the Soul Hall had yet to make a direct move against them.
"Heh… damn old fool."
Bone Ghost's gloomy gaze swept between the sky and Wu Tian, his expression turning cold.
"You got lucky this time. But make no mistake the Heavenly Flame technique will be mine. That power belongs to me!"
Wu Tian merely chuckled mockingly.
"Such confidence where does it come from?"
Bone Ghost snorted, his spatial energy fluctuating as the space behind him began to twist and distort.
Clearly he was trying to escape.
But just as he was about to vanish
Wu Tian's voice dropped to a chilling tone:
"Trying to leave?"
Xuan Kong Zi wouldn't act against the Soul Hall, but Wu Tian certainly would.
"Do you truly believe you can escape from me?"
Wu Tian's right hand flicked, and in an instant
A sea of crimson soul flames erupted, engulfing Bone Ghost's entire body.
"DAMN IT!"
Half of Bone Ghost's body had already entered the spatial distortion, but just before he could fully disappear
He suddenly froze.
It lasted only a single second.
But in that one second
Wu Tian's flames transformed into a colossal, fiery hand that seized Bone Ghost's body in a death grip.
A cold voice echoed in his ears:
"Get back here! If you want to leave at least leave something behind!"
Bone Ghost's expression twisted in horror.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Damn it! What is this fire?!"
"Wind Fury Dragon Flame, huh? I was wondering where this Heavenly Flame had gone… but to think the Soul Hall would personally deliver it to me."
Wu Tian's mocking tone deepened.
"I should be thanking you for your generosity."
"And tell me where is your so called Soul Extinguisher?"
"Sending you alone to Sacred Pill City… isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
A realization struck Bone Ghost like lightning
Wu Tian's soul power had surpassed the Spirit Realm…
He had reached the terrifying Heavenly Realm!!!
