The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1223 - 466: Bone of the Bone God, Mu Yi Advances_3

"If an outsider tries to breach this azure barrier, and the first warning fails, then strike to kill without any hesitation," Ye Hanjun, along with Mang Hao, nodded in assent.

Two hundred years are neither too long nor too short.

Mo lay dormant, secretly supported by the Cataclysmic Crow Master; although concerned, he could not intervene.

Aegifura guarded the threshold of becoming a demigod; what she lacked was simply time, just as Ye Hanjun need not worry.

Absolute String enjoyed different environments to gain insight into new melodies.

Earth God Mountain just arrived, showing a visage of human suffering, which suited its preferences.

And Mu Yi—with the successful acquisition of the Divine Bone, naturally sought the realm of Supreme Holy Completion, a process that would naturally flow like water if he focused wholeheartedly.

Perfection, Huazhu, and Goose Immortal—all of Minor Saintly Perfection status.

Whether playful or combative, with so many opponents here, they had no issues with variety every day, leading visibly fulfilling lives.

As for Lan Qixiong... these three little ones were more troublesome.

Since obtaining the favor of the Principle of Sloth, Core Personality transformed into four words.

Little Lazy Lion slept day and night, heedless of how Yang Xiaoqi and She Xiaoxiong kicked, tore, or bit—it would not respond.

Helplessly, She Xiaoxiong took up the mantle of leadership.

It led Yang Xiaoqi into battles, sparring with the Hanba Clan’s Divine Trace Lineage, skirmishing with Mang Hao, battered and bruised repeatedly, yet emerging each time more vibrant than before.

...

In the second epoch of the New Era, in the year 2350,

Mu Yi broke through and ascended to Supreme Holy Completion again.

That day, a blood-fiend light fell from the sky, causing the azure barrier to sway back and forth.

Seated atop the altar of bones, Mu Yi slowly opened the solitary eye on his forehead.

In an instant, a blinding malevolent light flared as if to scorch the heavens and earth, such regal might that Elder Yin and Elder Yang both turned away, not daring to look at him directly.

"Good."

The Goddess Ba, lingering at the four corners of Earth God Mountain, cast a spiritual gaze.

Upon perceiving Mu Yi’s robust soul and flesh, she conveyed a flicker of relief, and then vanished without a trace.

"Hahaha, standing at the pinnacle of the Supreme Saints twice, Third Brother, if a False God were to rush at you now, would you have the confidence to slaughter it as easily as slaughtering a chicken?" Mie Quan, sitting beside Mu Yi, roared with laughter, seemingly more delighted than GuaGua.

Hearing this, Mu Yi remained unmoved, still immersed in reflection over his bloodline’s unlocked shackles, murmuring to himself:

"To have ascended twice, the formerly sealed bloodlines have fused together..."

"My divinity seems to have doubled, infinitely closer to that of a Half-Step Deity..."

Mu Yi clenched his fist, his body phasing between a ghostly soul and manifest substance.

Back and forth, he began to grasp the change in power and then... threw a punch at Mie Quan’s face!

"That’s what I’ve been waiting for!" Mie Quan was prepared.

Constantly on guard, as if knowing Mu Yi would surely test his skills on him.

"Boom!!"

Mie Quan’s arms bulged to three times their size in an instant, the Brute Force poured into them raising blue veins on his neck.

The ground shook ten times; both corpses flew off to the left and right.

Mie Quan flew only a kilometer before stabilizing his body and retaliating.

Mu Yi was pushed back five kilometers, barely halting his momentum.

But he also did not hesitate; curling his toes, he aimed another kick at the sprinting Mie Quan.

"Bang!!"

That was a kick that could split heaven and earth, momentarily tearing a large hole in the void.

With one kick, before Mie Quan’s corpse claw could reach him, Mu Yi transformed into a ghostly soul, cleverly dodging the edge.

The next second, he materialized behind Mie Quan, exploiting the gap exposed by his upraised arm, driving his shoulder and elbow into his side with a thunderous impact that once again assaulted the ears.

"Bang bang bang bang!!"

The two godly generals of the Hanba Clan battled intensely, unable to be parted.

In a trance, it seemed to the onlookers as if, in that brilliantly ancient era, Mu Yi had also fiercely fought with Mie Quan.

Back then, Mu Yi was already the greatest beneath the gods.

And Mie Quan, having not yet reached Supreme Holy Completion, was still a striving youth.

Today, using a higher rank, Mie Quan reversed the pressure.

Yet to defeat Mu Yi, to force him into combat incapacity or willing surrender, was as elusive as seeking a needle in the sea.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, Third Brother is truly a Demon!"

"Just the move of transforming into a Ghostly Soul alone makes all my strength frequently futile; anyone would be infuriated to the point of itching teeth!"

After three hours of battle, Mie Quan was the first to flee, calling a halt to the fight.

His body bore no significant marks.

But he was gasping for breath, as if on the verge of collapse.

In contrast, Mu Yi, though still standing, erect as a stele.

His complexion was deathly pale, with flesh reversed and corpse blood flowing from his feet enough to form a trickle.

"Quack! Grandpa Mu Yi seems defeated, but he fought across classes!"

"Supreme Holy Completion VS Half-Step Deity, to the eyes of others an assured loss, an impossible turnaround!"

"But Grandpa Mu Yi still has his trump card, the ’Unrivaled Supreme Emperor of Corpses’, which consumes a lot and is hard to restrain once used. Since Grandpa Mu Yi did not use it, he remains forever on invincible ground!"

The lively GuaGua, acting as a cheerleader, shouted encouragement.

Ye Hanjun slightly smiled, also anticipating.

When the ’Emperor of Corpses’ is indeed used against an enemy, how many Half-Step Deities in the world could be absolutely certain of withstanding it head-on?

"Third Brother, one more step and the sea will be open for the fish to leap!"

"However, I am destined to ride atop your head, I shall be the second Ancestor of the Hanba Clan, and you will be ranked third among the godly generals and third among the Ancestors. That’s quite good; it will save the future little Hanba from confusion about the order!"

Mie Quan was bald; otherwise, he would certainly have grabbed a lock of fringe and paraded about in a trendy non-mainstream manner for a good while.

Mu Yi was more stable than him, with an even keel, the joy of re-ascending to Supreme Holy Completion, already smoothed over in the exchanges.

"Next, it just remains for the Ancestor to refine Divinity..."

"I wonder how Ancestor has been managing over the years, whether it is possible to foster new heads?"

"The enemy of the Ancient Cosmos, if not unexpected, should be the Heavenly Venerate mentioned by the Ancient Evil God... The closer one’s strength is to that of the past, the more likely unforeseen dangers may descend..."

"Mie Quan, we must not be careless, the Hanba Clan... it won’t be so easy to return to its glory."
