It feared the Purple Flame Demon Fire within the Fire Spirit Pearl, as the Purple Flame Demon Fire could burn souls. In its current state of residual soul, being burned by so much Purple Flame Demon Fire might lead to its soul turning to dust.

Although it was tempted by Lu Yu's pure Qi Blood, the white-boned form was unwilling to gamble the consciousness it had painstakingly resurrected after wandering for a hundred years.

It wasn't even sure if any other part of its soul was still wandering outside. If the part in Zhou Tong was the last strand, and it died this time, it would be truly dead.

Lu Yu glanced at the white-boned form, his thoughts quickly tracing back to what it had said. It must have devoured Zhou Tong and revived its own consciousness.

Since it was unwilling to perish alongside the ancestor of the Liang family, Lu Yu was also reluctant to detonate the Fire Spirit Pearl.

However, he didn't retract the Fire Spirit Pearl but allowed the Liang family's ancestor to hold it, ready to self-destruct at any moment, to intimidate the white bones.

Who knows if what it says is true or false; it doesn't even look human, and its words can't be easily trusted.

Lu Yu glanced at He Yichao and the others behind him, saying, "You've just revived and need flesh and Spiritual Qi; these people are yours."

He pointed to He Yichao, Wang Zhuangming, and others.

He Yichao and Wang Zhuangming's faces changed dramatically, He Yichao's face turning black as he cursed, "Lu Yu, you'll die a horrible death!"

Seeing the white-boned form had earlier given up attacking Lu Yu because of the Liang family's ancestor, He Yichao's fear within was suddenly much reduced. The white-boned form looked terrifying, and its momentum was frightening, but even it cowered before the sevenfold Energy Sea Realm.

With so many of us, we must be stronger than the sevenfold Energy Sea Realm, not afraid of this bony frame.

The white-boned form suddenly laughed, "Hahaha~~ Interesting. Since you've brought them here, then I, Venerable White Bone, have no reason not to accept them."

Its figure moved like a ghost, swiftly appearing behind an Energy Sea Realm cultivator, its jade-like white hand bone piercing through the defense of that Energy Sea Realm cultivator, extracting his heart.

Even after losing his heart, that Energy Sea Realm expert had not yet died and hurriedly shouted as others launched their attacks towards him, "I'm not dead yet, I can still be saved, don't hit me!"

Upon hearing this, the others silently redirected their attacks away from him, targeting the Venerable White Bone behind him instead.

The guide from Earth Fire City, upon hearing the name Venerable White Bone, quietly slipped away towards the fourth floor's exit.

Venerable—a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Realm, even as a newly resurrected residual soul of the Nascent Soul Realm, was not something they could resist.

If not for the Purple Flame Demon Fire which can burn souls, Venerable White Bone wouldn't have spared Lu Yu's pure Qi Blood.

It might even have seized Lu Yu's body, using it to nourish its own bones, making them stronger.

Venerable White Bone let out a "giggling" laughter, facing everyone's attacks without dodging or evading. Its bones had long been refined to the utmost of the Iron Bone Realm, tough for even high-grade Spirit Weapons to damage, let alone the attacks from the Energy Sea Realm group.

Completely disregarded.

The Energy Sea Realm cultivator strung on its arm initially wanted to struggle and escape, but as most of his Qi Blood and Spiritual Power were devoured, he gradually lost the strength to struggle.

The chaotic Spiritual Qi from the attacks subsided, revealing Venerable White Bone inside, as well as the already mummified Energy Sea Realm.

Venerable White Bone shook its right hand, and the shriveled corpse crumbled into countless dust particles, revealing a piece of pristine white bone in its hand.

Placing this bone, condensed from the entire skeleton essence of the Energy Sea Realm cultivator, into an area missing components, Venerable White Bone looked around at the seven or eight components still missing on its body, glancing at the present crowd.

"Just enough to replenish the missing parts of my body, hahahaha~~" Venerable White Bone laughed loudly.

Devouring Qi Blood and Spiritual Power to recover its own strength, consolidating the entirety of one's skeleton essence into a single bone—this is its ability, its Divine Technique.

At the Core Formation Realm, Venerable White Bone's forged Divine Weapon was none other than all its own bones; its bones themselves were Divine Weapons.

If not for this, it wouldn't have been able to move relying solely on a skeletal frame and still possess considerable combat power.

Devouring others' bones to strengthen its own bones is the Divine Technique it gained after refining its bones into Divine Weapons and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

After laughing, Venerable White Bone swiftly flew toward its next victim, with a hint of reluctance in its hollow eyes, gazing at the distant Lu Yu. It still desired Lu Yu's body more.

The blood and flesh quality of these Energy Sea Realm Martial Cultivators was too poor to even condense a decent skeletal component.

It sensed there was something special about the power in Lu Yu's bones, the coexistence of cold and heat. Obtaining Lu Yu's bones might even allow it to cultivate two more Divine Techniques.

"Young master, quickly go!" Wang Zhuangming protected He Yichao, quickly flying towards the exit of the fourth layer.

He Yichao's face was extremely grim, having witnessed an Energy Sea Realm twofold Martial Cultivator dying so effortlessly at Venerable White Bone's hands, he finally woke up.

Maybe Venerable White Bone was apprehensive of what the sevenfold Energy Sea Realm by Lu Yu's side could do to harm it, but in dealing with people like us, Venerable White Bone showed no fear.

Recalling Venerable White Bone's words, it was Lu Yu who released this monster, making He Yichao unable to resist wanting to kill Lu Yu.

"Ah!" Screams sounded, and all the anger in He Yichao's mind turned to fear, hurrying faster toward the fourth floor's exit.

Seeing the exit within reach, He Yichao exhaled slightly in relief.

After a brief rest, Wang Feng and Jiang Lianming, feeling that the stabbing pain in their heads had lessened significantly, descended to the fourth floor's entrance, surprised to see the hurriedly fleeing Wang Zhuangming and He Yichao.

"What's happened? Why does the young master look like he's running away?" The two grew curious.

Seeing the two at the entrance, Wang Zhuangming shouted, "Quick, leave here!"

Upon hearing this, the two sensed the urgency in Wang Zhuangming's tone and hurriedly ran upwards.

Rumble~ they hadn't run far before a tremor caused landslides and debris to block the passage leading to the third floor.

Wang Zhuangming, outside, did not feel the tremor. After entering the passage and discovering it blocked, his frustration rose upon seeing the two standing bewildered on the side.

This time we really hit a streak of bad luck!

"What are you waiting for, dig!" Wang Zhuangming roared.

He Yichao's face turned pale from the roar, but he did not blame Wang Zhuangming at this moment.

"Ah!" The sound of screams drew near, Wang Zhuangming glanced at the two digging earnestly, a ruthless look flashing across his face, and he grabbed the back collars of both, throwing them out of the passage.

For Wang Zhuangming, at the sixfold Energy Sea Realm, flinging out two at the threefold Energy Sea Realm was a breeze; they had no power to resist.

Seeing Wang Zhuangming's action, a few more shades of paleness appeared on He Yichao's face, even as Wang Zhuangming took a deep breath before the blocked passage, gathering all his internal Spiritual Power to perform a martial arts feat.

Boom!

With a roar, Wang Zhuangming carried He Yichao into the rushing airflow and charged into the third layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave.

The passage behind them continued to explode sequentially, and as he exited, he coincidentally caused the passage to collapse again.

Should the passage to the fourth layer ever be fully cleared again, people would discover the passage has more than doubled in size.

Just after bursting into the third layer, feeling like an escapee who had emerged safely, Wang Zhuangming sensed the surrounding aura, his expression instantly stiff and dark. Why are there so many demonic creatures gathered here in the Demon Spirit Realm?

Seeing Wang Zhuangming and He Yichao who came flying out, the demons roared in fury, demonic energy surging towards the two. Wang Zhuangming was struck, spitting out blood, and a cracking sound came from He Yichao's body as his life-protecting Spiritual Treasure was damaged in the attack.

Facing the raging demonic creatures in the Demon Spirit Realm, Wang Zhuangming was utterly helpless.

Lu Yu stood in the distance, watching Wang Zhuangming and He Yichao being overwhelmed by the demon crowd for a moment, then turned and left the third layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave.

These monsters had all been burned by the Purple Flame Demon Fire, resulting in immense anger due to the pain.

Seeing that what caused them pain was a human, upon seeing Wang Zhuangming and He Yichao, they subconsciously vented their fury on them.

After leaving the Earth Fire Demon Cave, Lu Yu used the Divine Weapon Pavilion Disciple Token at the edge of the stone array to teleport back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm.

Then, without stopping, he teleported to Panshan City to complete a trade with Lin Feng, with a transaction amounting to 30 billion this time.

Lin Feng didn't care whether the rare treasures Lu Yu brought out were useful or not, taking everything Lu Yu offered, leaving others to appraise them later.

There were various treasures below the fourth grade, totaling over a thousand kinds, and when Lin Feng left, his steps were a bit heavy.

It wasn't that the items were too many or too heavy, but the significance they represented.

After teleporting back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm from Panshan City, Lu Yu logged out of the game in his room.
