C791 I'm Waiting for You!(2)

The sects of Euwrea could not stomach such a brutal action.

"The Way of Heaven is merciless. Beyond Euwrea, in the vastness of the Everlands, and even beyond the stars, such actions are quite common," Cao Jiaze said with a detached tone.

Those behind him exchanged perplexed glances upon hearing his words.

He's already accustomed to it...

That was the thought that naturally came to everyone's mind.

Cao Jiaze remained stoic, offering no explanation, his face devoid of emotion.

A vast black cloud leisurely drifted from the distant sky.

Mo Yan looked at the Frost Queen next to the Crucible of Evil with an exhilarated expression and smiled warmly, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mo Yan, from the mightiest sect in this realm, the Devil Palace. I was meant to be your master, and you were meant to be mine. However, Yu Yuan interfered, causing a slight delay."

The black cloud, sprawling over a hundred acres, hovered in the sky like an immense dark tapestry.

The sneering voice of Qignas emanated from within the cloud, "White Bone, is this the extent of your abilities? I've been waiting outside for some time, thinking you possessed great power. It seems that when you were the Shade King, you hastily reincarnated because you knew you lacked strength."

At these words, a ripple of shock passed through the gathered ghosts.

"Shade King? White Bone was the Shade King in a past life?!"

"The reincarnated Shade King has died again? Has he returned to the Land of Terror, this time as White Bone?"

"Good heavens, White Bone is actually the Shade King!"

The revelation from Qignas set the assembled ghosts abuzz with excitement.

Many ghosts pondered the significance of the title 'Youling,' reflecting on its past glory.

In the midst of the raging ice tempest, numerous ghosts loyal to Wintermaw were set ablaze by the ghastly white flames emanating from White Bone, their disordered residual souls wailing pitifully within the storm.

A few powerful ghosts discerned Wintermaw's strategy and sought to break free from the tempest, only to find themselves trapped by the icy onslaught.

Now, even if they were to betray Wintermaw, escape was no longer an option.

Wintermaw had clearly decided to sacrifice them to bolster the ice tempest's ultimate power, so that at its peak, it could obliterate White Bone with a single devastating blow.

"I'll continue to address you as White Bone."

The voice of Qignas echoed from the expansive black clouds, "I prepared extensively before my arrival, as I had heard of your formidable reputation, Shade King. Unfortunately, the power you've shown falls short of the legends, leaving me somewhat disappointed."

In the palace, numerous cultivators from Euwrea, including Mo Yan and Ann Ziqing, along with a host of ghosts, pondered Qignas's words. White Bone had been portrayed by the Ghost Kings as a heretic destined to bring ruin to the Land of Terror.

Such a being, White Bone, should not exist in the Land of Terror and must be eradicated with all possible force.

Wintermaw had arrived, Black Staff had arrived, and other Ghost Kings were either lurking unseen or still en route.

White Bone, the one whom all Ghost Kings dreaded and sought to suppress collectively, surely couldn't be this weak?

Could it be that Thoaos alone could defeat him?

High above.

Rahu, her form as radiant as a spectrum of light, gazed down upon the colossal ice tempest, sensing Thoaos's presence growing ever stronger.

With a look of concern and furrowed brows, she whispered through a mystique, "Do you require assistance?"

"No need."

A chilling intent rose from White Bone below, piercing directly into her mind.

Taken aback, Rahu exhaled deeply and said, "Very well, let me know when you do."

At this moment, the sixth Ghost King of the Land of Terror was gripped by unease.

Her unease stemmed from her decision.

She had chosen White Bone because of Yu Yuan.

But given the current state of affairs, her decision seemed less than prudent.

If White Bone couldn't handle Wintermaw, what of Black Staff, Taruer, and Razses? Wouldn't they easily overpower him?

And beyond those, there was an even more formidable adversary, the former sovereign, still biding his time.

Her alliance with White Bone and Yu Yuan, standing against the multitude of Ghost Kings—had it been too impulsive, too rash?

Deep within, Rahu was reassessing the situation, contemplating how she might extricate her junior brother Yu Yuan alive should their circumstances turn dire.

"He's the sole hand-chosen disciple of his generation. I need him alive!"

Rahu mused to herself.

"I've been waiting for your arrival."

White Bone, amidst the ice tempest that relentlessly battered the eternal ice crystal, came to an abrupt halt.

Floating at the heart of the ferocious storm, White Bone remained utterly still, regardless of the tempest's swirling fury. His dark green eyes showed not a hint of impatience, only a profound serenity.

It was akin to a tranquil, mysterious pond hidden within mountains for eons, undisturbed.

"Waiting for me?"

Qignas let out a dry chuckle. "Why wait for you? Wintermaw alone could kill you. Frankly, I doubt I need to lift a finger."

"I feared that if I killed Wintermaw first, you might change sides midway." White Bone pivoted, peering through the ice tempest at the looming black cloud. "But now, it's clear. You've shown your true colors, arriving with ill intent. This gives me just cause to strike, in accordance with the rules set by the Land of Terror."

"It?" Qignas exclaimed in astonishment.

"You know exactly who I'm referring to." White Bone replied with calm assurance.

The Ghost King, hidden within the black cloud, was taken aback and skeptical upon hearing this. "White Bone, stop with the scare tactics. If you're capable, then show me some real action!"

"As you wish."

Boom!

Hundreds of miles away, the silver-white Shadow Mountain, White Bone's former refuge, erupted from the earth!

The towering Shadow Mountain, wreathed in thick Yin Qi, unleashed an unparalleled divine might and a sacred light. Defying the cosmic order, it arrived in the blink of an eye!

This spectacle left all the souls and cultivators within White Bone's domain utterly dumbstruck.

In the next moment, the Silver Peaks, bathed in sacred light, materialized within Thoaos's ice tempest.

Upon its entry, the ice magic of the Way of Heaven was instantly subdued.

A boundless silver-white radiance burst forth, illuminating and extinguishing the remaining formidable ghosts.

The silver-white light shone upon the Celestial Ice Crystal, perforating Thoaos's icy form with countless fissures.

"Who gave you the audacity to think I couldn't shatter your icy shell?"

White Bone shook his head slightly, a series of cracks sounding from his neck as he darted through an opening and slipped into the Ice Titan's frigid body.

"White Bone! How dare you, White Bone!"

The Thoaos's panicked scream emanated from his icy form, piercing the ears of all who heard it.

Every spectator, human and ghost alike, watched in shock as their expressions turned.
