It was better to be a beast than a human.
Back then, Tian Mu's name had shaken the Ancient Sword Continent. Now, she had become the executioner of the Ancient Sword Continent.
"You want to stop me?" Sky Bone King stared at the head in the sky and said coldly.
The head's eyes flickered and said, "Although my true body is not here and I can't stop you, it's impossible for you to kill the humans in front of me."
The head was a quasi-King-level expert from the Demon Continent. He had been in seclusion for hundreds of years. For the sake of the Ancient Sword Continent's safety, he had come out of seclusion.
The means of a quasi-King-level expert were unimaginable. It was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
For example, it was impossible for ordinary True Martial Realm experts to project across the continent.
Even the top True Martial Realm experts in the three continents might not be able to do it.
A quasi-King-level expert could easily do it.
Sky Bone King looked around and his eyes flickered.
At this moment, Calamity Lord, who was behind him, said in a low voice, "Lord Sky Bone King, the quasi-King-level expert of the Ancient Sword Continent has his eyes on you. It will be difficult for you to make a move. Why don't we leave first?"
"Okay." Sky Bone King glanced at Calamity Lord and said.
"The humans have a strong foundation. Once the war starts, those old farts of the human race will definitely come out. At that time, I'm afraid even you will not be able to fight against the humans.
The only thing we can do now is to leave first. When I find the Sect Master and he revives, he will join forces with Lord Sky Bone King to destroy the entire Ancient Sword Continent. "Calamity Lord said in a low voice.
Sky Bone King's eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he finally made a decision.
However, after making the decision, Sky Bone King looked at Fang Chen, who was lying on the ground.
This boy had obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Void King. He did not want to see a second Heavenly Void King rise. Therefore, this boy had to die.
Boom!
Suddenly, Sky Bone King's battle saber slashed at Fang Chen.
Seeing this, the True Martial Realm experts of the Five Elements State all made their moves.
"Xuantian Formation!"
Grandmaster Danqing roared and set up a powerful Dao Formation. It instantly enveloped Fang Chen.
At the same time, the Bone Weapon Saint Master took out his battle companion. It was also a Dao Grade weapon. Light flowed around the weapon, and its aura was terrifying.
As for Saint Sovereign Xuanlong, he took out a Dao-level talisman and waited.
"Save Fang Chen at all costs!" Elder Han roared.
The Bloody Spear Man held a blood spear in his hand and took the lead to charge straight at the Heavenly Bone King's saber.
A vast aura surged out from Dean Wuyun's palm. This aura contained an extremely boundless and formless aura.
"Stop him."
The True Martial Realm experts of the Five Elements State all made their moves.
Crack
The Bloody Spear Man's long spear was the first to come into contact with Sky Bone King's battle saber. With a cracking sound, the Bloody Spear Man's long spear instantly broke apart, and the latter was also sent flying by the battle saber.
At the same time, the Bone Weapon Saint Master's Dao level weapon also instantly rushed over.
It was to no avail. There was simply no way to resist.
In the end, the saber was invincible and bombarded the Xuantian Formation.
Dong!
The entire ground trembled. The Xuantian Formation was unable to resist the attack of the battle saber and was on the verge of shattering.
"Tian Mu, stop it."
In the sky, the Void Head let out a low roar. A ray of light shot out and instantly destroyed Sky Bone King's battle saber. Then, a terrifying aura instantly spread out.
"Tian Mu, how dare you betray the human race! You shall be killed!"
At this moment, a furious roar came from the direction of the Tianzhou State. Then, a projection from across the State appeared instantly.
A Quasi-King Realm expert appeared. The two Void Heads in the sky stared at Sky Bone King.
"Two old farts, one day, the Ancient Sword Land will become my territory."
After saying that, Sky Bone King's body flashed and disappeared from the wasteland with the Woeful Sage.
The two Quasi-King Realm experts did not chase after Sky Bone King because their true bodies had not arrived. It was impossible for them to catch up with Sky Bone King.
Many of the True Martial Realm experts below were also shocked.
They did not expect such an incident to happen in the Heavenly Void Mystery Land. Even two Quasi-King Realm experts, who had not appeared for a long time, had appeared.
"The Ancient Sword Land will face its greatest crisis. All martial artists from the various states, quickly go back and prepare for a battle." Just as everyone was shocked, the Void Head spoke.
Hearing that, Old Ancestor Hei Mo led Hei Tai to bid farewell to the crowd and returned to the Demon State.
Old Man Mo from the Tianzhou State also led a few True Martial Realm experts and left.
In the end, only the True Martial Realm experts from the Tianzhou State were left in the wasteland.
"Dean, how is Fang Chen's injury?" Elder Han asked hurriedly.
The Dean checked Fang Chen's body and felt that his life was not in danger. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "His life is not in danger. Let's go back to the Five Elements Academy first."
Then, the group left the Border City and returned to the Five Elements Academy.
This incident engulfed the entire Ancient Sword Land. The True Martial Realm experts from the three states were all deployed to prevent the counterattack of the Tan Stock Network.
After returning to the Five Elements Academy, Fang Chen was arranged to stay at the Moon Peak and was looked after by Star and Moon. The other True Martial Realm experts went to the main peak of the Five Elements Peak to discuss how to deal with the Sky Bone King.
A few days later, Fang Chen woke up leisurely.
The moment Fang Chen opened his eyes, he saw Star and Moon's beautiful face.
"Yue 'er."
Fang Chen wanted to reach out and touch Star and Moon's face, but he realized that his arm was in pain and his body was weak. He could not raise his hand at all.
"Brother Chen, you are seriously injured. Don't move." Star and Moon was very emotional when she saw Fang Chen wake up.
Fang Chen nodded and then asked, "Yue 'er, where is this?"
"This is the Five Elements Academy. That day, you used the inheritance of the Heavenly Void King to send the three of us out. However, you were attacked by the Sky Bone King and almost died." Star and Moon said.
"Then how did I come back?" Fang Chen asked doubtfully.
Then, Star and Moon told Fang Chen everything about the Sky Bone King killing his way out of the Heavenly Void Secret Realm, the True Martial Realm experts from the three states gathering in the wilderness outside the Border City, and the two Quasi-king experts' projections crossing the state and scaring away the Sky Bone King.
After Fang Chen heard it, he was shocked.
He did not expect that there were Quasi-king experts hidden in the Ancient Sword Land, and there were two of them.
"I wonder if there are any Quasi-king experts in the Ancient Sword Land," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Star and Moon shook her head and said, "I heard from the Dean that in the Ancient Sword Land, there were many schools of thought contending. At that time, there were several Quasi-king experts. However, as time passed, the overall strength of the Ancient Sword Land has been declining. Moreover, due to the incomplete laws of heaven and earth, it is very difficult for a Quasi-king expert to be born. Over time, Quasi-king experts are considered the peak combat strength in the Ancient Sword Land now."
There were very few Quasi-king experts, let alone Quasi-king experts.
If the Sky Bone King did not appear, perhaps no one would know that Quasi-king experts still existed in the Ancient Sword Land.
Fortunately, two Quasi-king experts appeared and scared the Sky Bone King away.
For the time being, the Sky Bone King should not appear again.
"Did any Quasi-king experts appear in the Five Elements State?" Fang Chen asked.
Star and Moon shook her head. That day, only the Quasi-king experts from the Sky State and the Demon State had sent their projections over. As for the Five Elements State, there was no movement.
"It seems that there are no Quasi-king experts in the Five Elements State," Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the following conversation, Fang Chen learned that the Sky Bone King was originally a human. However, many years ago, he betrayed the human race and would rather stay in his beast form than to be a human.
"Tian Mu?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
He was familiar with the history of the Ancient Sword Land, but he did not know the name Tian Mu.
"I don't know the details, but the two Quasi-king experts seemed to know Tian Mu," Star and Moon said.
Fang Chen nodded. He would ask the Dean about this matter after he recovered from his injuries.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Ever since he received the inheritance of the Heavenly Oasis King and comprehended the True Meaning of the Void, Fang Chen felt that the golden heart was different from before.
It seemed to have undergone a transformation.
Fang Chen could clearly feel that the golden heart had given him a lot of power.
For example, his self-healing ability. Although he was seriously injured, Fang Chen's injuries were almost healed not long after he woke up.
After another three days, Fang Chen finally recovered completely.
On this day, all the True Martial Realm experts of the Five Elements Academy gathered on the Moon Peak.
"Fang Chen, are you alright?" Grandmaster Danqing asked worriedly when he saw Fang Chen.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Master." Fang Chen cupped his hands.
"You brat, you almost died at the hands of the Sky Bone King," the Bone Weapon Grandmaster said with a dark face.
It was not easy to find such an outstanding blacksmith disciple. His talent in blacksmithing was much stronger than that of his eldest disciple, Song Siyong. The Bone Weapon Grandmaster did not want to see anything happen to Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, it's good that you're fine," the Dean said as he looked at Fang Chen.
They easily discovered that Fang Chen's cultivation was still at the eighth level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. He had not stepped into the True Martial Realm.
However, it was not strange. Fang Chen's potential was strong, but he started later than Zhang Jingtao and the others. It was normal that he had not stepped into the True Martial Realm.
Fang Chen was very important in the eyes of many True Martial Realm experts of the Five Elements Academy.
Especially the Dean and Elder Han. They regarded Fang Chen as the most outstanding disciple of the Five Elements Academy in the past hundred years. He was even a martial artist who could enter that place.
After chatting for a while, Fang Chen suddenly asked.
"Dean, what's going on with the Sky Bone King? Is he a human?"
Hearing this, several True Martial Realm experts looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with helplessness.
Finally, they all looked at the Dean.
"That's right. Tian Mu was once a human," the Dean said.
"What's the secret?" Fang Chen asked.
This matter was very important. Tian Mu had transformed into the Sky Bone King and returned to the Ancient Sword Continent. He had set off a storm of blood. They could not ignore it.
"Tian Mu was once a genius of the Human Clan. However, he thought that the Human Clan had betrayed him. In a fit of anger, he betrayed the Human Clan and swore to never be a human again," the Dean said slowly.
