At this moment, there was a loud "bang."
The Turtle Shell Shield that Yougu had summoned was instantly shattered by the sharp sword rain.
At this time, the Myriad Bone War Puppet's eyes flashed with fierce light. Its bone mouth opened wide, and it let out a shrill roar.
Immediately, a tangible shockwave erupted. The surging sword light that rushed forward slowed considerably upon encountering this shockwave, and the foremost sword lights were directly blown to pieces.
At this point, the Myriad Bone War Puppet brought its two bone blades together in the middle, then slashed forward fiercely. A massive arc-shaped blade energy shot out rapidly, and dozens more sword lights were cut down.
Ning Fa couldn't help but change his expression. The power of this Myriad Bone War Puppet was incredibly potent.
Then, he let out a cold laugh and formed a hand seal.
The remaining sword lights gathered in the center, transforming once again into an Azure Longsword, which was precisely the Yimu Sword.
At this moment, the Yimu Sword's body was flashing with intense Golden Lightning, the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.
When the Yimu Sword met the arc-shaped blade energy, under the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder emanating from the Yimu Sword, the seemingly sharp blade energy rapidly melted. Following that, the Yimu Sword fiercely slashed towards the Myriad Bone War Puppet.
At this time, the Myriad Bone War Puppet roared. The massive bone blade in its hand ignited with a surge of White Bone Flame, and it blocked fiercely.
With a violent roar, the Yimu Sword clashed with the bone blade, and for a moment, both stopped.
Under the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, that layer of White Bone Flame could actually resist for a time.
However, not long after, as more Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder surged from the Yimu Sword, these White Bone Flames were finally extinguished completely.
With a loud "bang," the bone blade also shattered.
Following that, the Yimu Sword directly struck the Myriad Bone War Puppet, cleaving it in two.
But the two halves of the war puppet transformed into two balls of white light and shot away, then reformed into two smaller White Bone War Puppets, also wielding bone blades, and charged back towards Ning Fa at lightning speed.
The Yimu Sword slashed out again, carrying numerous sword lights infused with Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, intercepting these two Myriad Bone War Puppets.
Ning Fa, however, looked towards Yougu, his brow furrowed.
At this moment, twelve skull-sized White Bone Bells floated around Yougu's body. The bell walls were inscribed with large, blood-colored Sanskrit script, giving them a very sinister appearance.
Yougu cast hand seals one after another, and these twelve bone bells spun rapidly around him, the blood-colored Sanskrit script on their surfaces beginning to emit a strong blood-red light.
Clearly, this person was employing a more potent technique, and Ning Fa naturally could not allow him to succeed.
He dragged his right hand, and amidst intense lightning, a spear forged from lightning instantly formed. The spear's body flickered with Purple-Gold Lightning.
With a fierce flick of Ning Fa's wrist, this Thunder Spear shot towards Yougu with incredible speed.
And just at this moment, the twelve White Bone Bells, which had been spinning rapidly, suddenly stopped. They swayed gently, and a strange white light rippled outwards.
The Thunder Spear became trapped within it, its speed drastically reduced, and then it slowly disintegrated.
Ning Fa's pupils contracted. Just as he was about to employ another method, the twelve White Bone Bells vanished.
The next moment, Ning Fa's surroundings flashed with white light, and the twelve bone bells appeared eerily, swaying madly. Waves of white light surged towards Ning Fa like a tide.
Ning Fa immediately felt a sound like wailing ghosts erupt within his sea of consciousness. Even with his powerful Divine Soul, he felt a sense of distraction and annoyance.
He let out a cold snort, his shoulder suddenly twitching, and then circles of Golden Electric Light surged from around his body.
However, countless tiny blood-colored Sanskrit scripts emerged from the strange white light. Subsequently, Seven-Colored Buddhist Light rippled out from these blood-colored Sanskrit scripts, accompanied by solemn Sanskrit Chants.
Ning Fa's always-effective Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder intertwined with this Seven-Colored Buddhist Light. These Buddhist lights showed no signs of diminishing; in fact, they appeared to be evenly matched.
Ning Fa was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected that this bell, clearly a treasure of the Demonic Path, would also possess Buddhist divine abilities.
At this moment, Yougu let out a wild laugh, "The Primal Bone Profound Light of my Primal Bone Spirit Bell is not afraid of your Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder!"
This Primal Bone Spirit Bell is no ordinary treasure. It was refined from the essence of over a thousand cultivators' remains, extracting their primal bone spirit souls.
Moreover, among these remains were over ten Nascent Soul Cultivators.
It also contained the remains of six Buddhist masters at the Nascent Soul stage, along with their sariras, supplemented by several extremely precious Fourth-grade Spiritual Materials such as Yin Nether Profound Iron, Nether Silkworm Blood Silk, and Ten-Thousand-Year Rotting Bone Vine.
After the initial crafting of this bell through a bloody ritual, the supreme cultivation method of their sect, the "Nine Nether Bone Transformation Scripture," was inscribed onto the bell's surface. This was fused with the demonic version of a supreme Buddhist cultivation method, the "Vajra Demon Subduing Pestle Scripture," forming peculiar Demonic Buddha Incantations capable of activating Buddhist profound light.
Therefore, the Primal Bone Spirit Bell was completely unafraid of the divine abilities of the Righteous Path, even the renowned Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.
Yougu had relied on this powerful treasure to kill many experts of the Righteous Path and Buddhism, and he was quite famous in the Rakshasa Immortal Realm.
This was why, even knowing that Ning Fa possessed the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, which was extremely effective against Demonic Cultivators, he remained completely unafraid.
At this moment, the twelve White Bone Bells swayed even more violently. Waves of sound, resembling wailing ghosts interspersed with Buddhist chants, infiltrated Ning Fa's sea of consciousness.
Within Ning Fa's sea of consciousness, streams of strange white light appeared, and from them emerged Corpse Phantoms, lunging towards Ning Fa's sea of consciousness like locusts.
But at this moment, above Ning Fa's sea of consciousness, a silvery-white Full Moon suddenly blazed with white light, and pure Moon White Radiance rippled outwards.
As soon as these Corpse Phantoms encountered this moonlight, they shattered. However, more Corpse Phantoms emerged, as if they were inexhaustible.
Yougu wore a cold smile. When his Sha Soul Clone was destroyed by Ning Fa earlier, he had already known that Ning Fa cultivated a remarkable Divine Soul Cultivation Method, but he was not worried.
This was because the Primal Bone Spirit Bell was essentially a Divine Soul Magic Treasure, and this Divine Soul Attack divine ability, "Corpse Illusionary Consciousness Prison," possessed even greater power than the Primal Bone Profound Light. He did not believe Ning Fa could hold out indefinitely.
Then, Yougu formed another hand seal. The two Myriad Bone War Puppets that were still entangled with the Yimu Sword suddenly flashed with white light and inexplicably disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared within the Primal Bone Profound Light activated by the Primal Bone Spirit Bell.
Their bodies trembled and split repeatedly, and in an instant, six Myriad Bone War Puppets appeared.
Meanwhile, six illusory figures flew out from six bone bells, attaching themselves to the war puppets.
Soon, they transformed dramatically. Although their bodies were still made of bone, they now had normal human heads, each with an expression of compassion for the world. Behind their heads, seven-colored Buddhist halos appeared, giving them a sacred aura.
Numerous blood-colored Sanskrit script attached themselves to the bone blades in their hands, and with a bang, a blood-colored spirit flame ignited.
The eyes of these six figures simultaneously flashed with blood-red light. The compassionate expressions vanished instantly, replaced by an overwhelming aura of wickedness. They lunged towards Ning Fa with lightning speed.
Upon encountering the net of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder radiating from Ning Fa's body, the Buddhist halos behind their heads immediately unleashed a seven-colored Buddhist Light, resisting the divine thunder.
Although their speed greatly decreased, they continued to approach Ning Fa.
Yougu's lips curled into a cold smile. "My Primal Bone Spirit Bells still retain the main souls of those six eminent Buddhist monks. After combining with my Myriad Bone War Puppets, their strength will far surpass what they had in life.
Especially with the aid of these Primal Bone Spirit Bells, even Great Cultivators must avoid their edge.
I want to see how you, a mere early Nascent Soul cultivator, can possibly resist!"
At this moment, Baili Ming's sound transmission echoed in Ning Fa's ear.
"This person's divine abilities are very unusual; I have some recollection of them. They seem to be a signature divine ability of a major power in the Rakshasa Immortal Realm.
Oh, that's right, I remember now! It's the Myriad Bone Gate from the Rakshasa Immortal Realm!
Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the Myriad Bone Gate's influence to reach your side."
Rakshasa Immortal Realm...
Ning Fa, who was resisting the Corpse Illusionary Consciousness Prison, felt a stir in his heart.
Baili Ming then continued, "Kid, you seem to be in a bad situation right now. Do you want me to help you?"
"No need, I can handle it," Ning Fa replied immediately.
He wasn't just being stubborn; he wanted to use this powerful opponent to test his own divine soul abilities.
Based on his judgment, this black-robed cultivator, suspected to be from the Rakshasa Immortal Realm, had a true strength equivalent to a Mid-level Great Cultivator.
Ning Fa then flipped his right hand, and a rusty bronze ancient lamp suddenly appeared. A five-colored flame burned on its wick – it was Ning Fa's Five Flames Lamp.
Upon seeing this lamp appear, Yougu, who had been wearing a confident smile, immediately changed his expression. He realized at once that this ancient lamp was definitely a Spirit Treasure.
Just then, a somewhat illusory figure flew out from the Five Flames Lamp. It was Liuying, the artifact spirit of the Haolei Tower, who was now temporarily residing in the Five Flames Lamp as its artifact spirit.
With a graceful extension of her hand, the Five Flames Lamp's flames surged.
Liuying then formed a hand seal, conjuring six spirit flames from within. These instantly transformed into six lotuses made of five-colored spirit flames, which spun and disappeared.
The next moment, these six Five Flames Lotuses appeared at the feet of the six Myriad Bone War Puppets. Instantly, five-colored flames erupted, and the extreme heat rapidly melted the seven-colored Buddhist Light surrounding the war puppets.
The Five Flames Lotuses then closed in, enveloping the six war puppets.
Yougu's expression drastically changed, and he even let out a muffled groan. The power of the Five Flames Lamp exceeded his imagination.
He changed his hand seals again, and the twelve bone spirit bells began to shake violently. Circles of Primal Bone Profound Light, like sharp blades, sliced towards the six Five Flames Lotuses.
Simultaneously, a fierce tremor occurred within the bells, clearly indicating that the six war puppets were not passively waiting and were frantically struggling.
At this moment, Ning Fa's body suddenly erupted with silver light, and a surge of wild spiritual pressure emanated from him. He had transformed into a ten-zhang tall silver lightning giant.
He had activated his Divine Firmament Mysterious Thunder Dharma Aspect.
