Chapter 2401 What is This? Who Created It?
The eyes of the Scholarly Sage had a unique, intimidating effect on certain Immortals. Back in the day, when competing for the position of the Wielder of the Will, the Sage had practically dominated the powerful beings from countless realms and earned the t.i.tle of the strongest in the world.
Among the many powerful beings who had faced his might, quite a few had witnessed the terrifying power of the Sage"s twin pupils that left them with psychological scars. Just like King Kun, who, after being struck by this familiar icy light, they had all exhibited an exaggerated reaction.
Unfortunately, Song Shuhang"s experiment had failed. Even if he were to implant the Eyes into the eye sockets of an Immortal-level giant"s skeleton, it wouldn"t be able to unleash its original effect.
Top-tier Tribulation Transcenders and Immortals who had transcended their own "Dao" were still immune to expert appraisal techniques.
What a missed opportunity it was!
If the experiment had succeeded, Pavilion Master Chu, with her unique hairstyle, the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes, the Hair Thrust, and the Scarlet Heaven Sword"s Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique, would have been able to take on numerous formidable adversaries.
However, Song Shuhang chose not to retrieve the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes.
The expert appraisal technique was just a minor function of the Scholarly Sage. Its true utility went far beyond this simple instructional skill.
Under Song Shuhang"s full control, the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes began to cooperate with the Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant in battle. Under the gaze of the Sage, King Kun"s combat data was laid bare!
Inside the giant skeleton, Immortal Fairy White Bones felt her eyes suddenly being refreshed. It was as if she had applied eye drops to relieve dryness.
Immediately afterward, a wealth of battle information appeared before her eyes. She could see which parts of King Kun"s body were vulnerable to the next hammer strike, the optimal positions for attacking, the strength and angle of the attack, and more.
The Scholarly Sage"s Eyes guided her step by step in combat.
Moreover, these data were not static. As King Kun s.h.i.+fted his posture, the information was constantly updated in real-time.
It was astonis.h.i.+ng!
Immortal Fairy White Bones had never imagined that battles could be conducted with such precision.
At that moment, King Kun was still in shock.
Although the Expert Appraisal Technique had no effect on him, the appearance of the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes had unsettled him. King Kun had challenged the Scholarly Sage in the past and seemed to have been traumatized by the experience.
Naturally, Immortal Fairy White Bones wouldn"t let this golden opportunity slip through her fingers.
With the a.s.sistance of the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes, she piloted the mecha of bone and charged forward. The Hammer of Withering Death in her hand was hurled from a distance. Then, she gripped the hammer with both hands and struck King Kun"s abdomen from the right.
King Kun had finally managed to suppress the trauma in his heart and forcibly willed himself back into the battle. However, in the end, the Hammer of Withering Death descended from the heavens and struck his back. The Withering Death energy within it was like a malignant infection that invaded his body and caused his already parched skin to become even more desiccated.
Subsequently, Immortal Fairy White Bones directed the Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant to charge to King Kun"s side and deliver a powerful blow to his abdomen.
The ma.s.sive hammer, which had expanded in size, covered King Kun"s entire chest and abdomen!
"Ah ~" Kun King felt an intense churning in his abdomen and the cracking of his sternum. The pain was excruciating.
However, this level of pain still fell within his threshold.
King Kun tightly gripped his ruler and retaliated.
The ruler struck the breastplate of the Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant, but it only generated sparks.
The Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant"s chestplate appeared to have a protective s.h.i.+eld, and when the ruler struck it, the force was deflected.
King Kun was at a loss.
This defensive capability did not resemble that of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender"s magical treasure at all. The s.h.i.+eld-like force field on it was particularly unique.
King Kun attempted to a.n.a.lyze the structure of this force field s.h.i.+eld. However, as he was about to begin his a.n.a.lysis, he felt his head throbbing and nearly exploding.
What in the world was this thing? Who had created it? Was there a way out of this for King Kun?
Instinctively, King Kun raised his head and gazed at the Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant.
As he looked up, he saw the gigantic skull peering down at him. The Scholarly Sage"s Eyes emitted an icy light from behind the mask that exerted immense pressure on him.
There was no way to continue this battle!
"Ho ~ hoho!" Immortal Fairy White Bones couldn"t contain her delight.
Today, she intended to utterly defeat King Kun.
The Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant swung its hammers once more, and the sound of thunder and wind accompanied their movements.
King Kun"s expression darkened.
He realized that he couldn"t defeat Immortal Fairy White Bones today. The individual who had secretly aided Immortal Fairy White Bones had too many tricks up his sleeve, and he was exceptionally cunning.
He had a technique on the level of a force field s.h.i.+eld, yet he had deceptively presented the armor as an Eighth Stage magical treasure.
Furthermore, even the Scholarly Sage"s Eyes were under his control.
What was the point of continuing the battle?
With this enigmatic figure lurking in the shadows, if King Kun continued to fight Immortal Fairy White Bones, he might meet his demise.
Since he couldn"t continue battling Immortal Fairy White Bones, he decided to flee.
Fortunately, he knew that neither Immortal Fairy White Bones nor the hidden figure could stop him from leaving.
Whoosh. A pair of wings suddenly sprouted from King Kun"s back.
Immortal Fairy White Bones swung the hammer of the Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant, but it struck empty air.
King Kun unfurled his wings and transformed into a roc.
With a graceful flap of his purple grape-colored wings, King Kun"s figure swiftly disappeared into the distance and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Pah, coward," Immortal Fairy White Bones muttered.
She waved her hand and dispelled the effects of the Withering and Decaying laws. She stood silently in the void.
She was waiting.
She was waiting for Song to come out.
...
...
Beneath the sea"s surface, Pavilion Master Chu"s hair swayed gently as she collected the spoils of war. After King Kun was repeatedly pummeled, he had shed numerous scales.
These were the scales of an Immortal-level King Kun. They were prime materials for refining artifacts in the myriad worlds.
It was a pity that Immortal Fairy White Bones hadn"t managed to sever a portion of
King Kun"s flesh, or they could have enjoyed Kun meat hotpot tonight.
Pavilion Master Chu"s hair gathered all the scales, then happily looked toward Immortal Fairy White Bones in the void.
Pavilion Master Chu naturally knew who Immortal Fairy White Bones was waiting for.
But, unfortunately, the person she was waiting for wasn"t there.
"Shuhang, open the door," Pavilion Master Chu called out.
The entrance to the Inner World swung open, and Pavilion Master Chu returned with her spoils of war.
Simultaneously, the two sets of Combined Magical Treasures that adorned Immortal Fairy White Bones in the void automatically disa.s.sembled and returned to the Inner World.
Immortal Fairy White Bones" eyes sparkled.
Swiftly, she followed the stream of light to descend beneath the sea"s surface.
Within the Inner World, Pavilion Master Chu approached Song Shuhang.
"What a shame, King Kun wasn"t strong enough," Pavilion Master Chu lamented. Although Song Shuhang had bolstered Immortal Fairy White Bones"s combat abilities, the battle had concluded rather swiftly.
"If it were up to me, I"d probably have escaped as well," the sword mused. The combined Beast G.o.d White Bone Giant had given King Kun a beating unlike any other.
"Senior Song, Immortal Fairy White Bones is heading towards the Inner World," Soft Feather reminded him.
"Yes, I"ve noticed, Soft Feather," Song Shuhang replied while standing up and brus.h.i.+ng off his clothes. "Let"s go and welcome Fairy White Bones."
