NOVEL NEXT Chapter 422: The Legendary Female Alchemist
Death Breath, the symbol of that female alchemist who ventured alone into the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Prisons.
It is said that Death Breath is a black smoke, seemingly innocuous at a glance but capable of penetrating everything. Even for an Evil Soul, once touched by it, there is only a dead end.
"Follow my command and lead me to Bone Evil Monarch. You better behave yourself, or I'll make you scatter into nothingness," a gentle female voice drifted in the air.
The terrified Evil Soul, with stiff hands and feet, guided by a voice from an unknown origin, entered the main hall of the Withered Bone Castle.
In the main hall littered with decaying corpses, the Earth Evil Lord of the twenty-fourth layer of Earth Evil Prison, Bone Evil Monarch, was seated on a chair carved from beast bones.
Blood pool as wine and rotten meat as food, the Evil Souls were indulging in a feast.
Bone Evil Monarch was a Jade Bone Skeleton that talked by opening and closing its jaw.
"Heh heh, that ignorant human, still not giving up, actually hoping to pass the twenty-fourth layer of Earthly Evil Prison. Isn't the Heaven and Earth Tribulation too difficult to exceed," he said.
While speaking, Bone Evil Monarch bit into a piece of maggot-infested rotten flesh that was oozing pus.
His subordinates, thousands of Evil Souls, erupted in a wail that resembled a meld of ghostly and wolfish howls.
The defeat of Ye Lingyue by the Bone Evil Monarch was a delight for these Evil Souls.
For many years, the twenty-fourth Earthly Evil Prison had been a paradise for Evil Souls. However, since the entrance of that female alchemist a dozen days ago, everything had changed.
An alive human entered the prison. All Evil Souls thought it was a stroke of luck as if meat from Tang Seng had fallen from the sky, knowing not that the woman was a disaster star.
Rumors had it that she brought a fierce beast and together, they swept the layers below the twenty-fourth of Earthly Evil Prison.
Moreover, the woman possessed a sinister technique to refine Evil Souls. Countless of them were refined by her, and she even had a ferocious giant beast by her side.
Fortunately, the magic of Bone Evil Monarch was powerful, and he repelled the female alchemist five times in a row.
"Monarch's demonic art is unparalleled in the world, such a tiny human clan is insignificant."
"I think, this time, that female alchemist must have been scared shitless, not daring to provoke the Monarch's dignity ever again."
The following Evil Souls bootlicked in response.
Bone Evil Monarch felt quite pleased after hearing this.
"That is natural. Does anyone not know who I am? Even if it's a Divine Power Realm powerhouse, they cannot shake me in the slightest, let alone a young girl," Bone Evil Monarch laughed coldly.
"Monarch, since your demonic art is powerful, why not lead us to conquer a higher level of the Earthly Evil Prison?"
A gentle voice floated over, and Bone Evil Monarch looked up. The voice came from a female evil soul.
He somewhat remembered her, already able to transform into half-human half-beast. Among the grotesque Evil Souls, she was quite pleasing to the eye. A few days ago, Bone Evil had had her serve him.
Possibly due to some of the blood wine she drank today, Bone Evil Monarch found her voice different from when she served him previously.
Her voice was soft, like a feather gently stroking the nerves, even a bloodless, fleshless Evil Soul like Bone Evil felt his heart stir uncontrollably.
He thought to himself, tonight, he must have this demon's female evil soul serve him, to let her cry tenderly beneath him.
"Little demon, what's the hurry? When I refine my last bone into Indomitable Withered Bones, I will surely ascend to the other Earthly Evil Prisons, even to Heavenly Gang Palace," Bone Evil Lord said arrogantly.
Inside the Earthly Evil Prison, Earth Evil Lords relished blood and slaughter, and the competition among Monarchs was fierce.
The last bone?
The one asking the question was naturally Ye Lingyue, who was hiding nearby. It turned out that the Bone Evil Monarch indeed had a weakness.
Ye Lingyue scrutinized the Ancient Evil Lord from head to toe, not even sparing a finger bone, and finally, her gaze landed on the lower skeleton of the Bone Evil Monarch.
The color of the lower skeleton was slightly dull compared to the other bones of the Bone Evil.
Ye Lingyue understood in her heart.
The banquet in the Withered Bone Castle continued until midnight before it ended.
The Bone Evil Monarch, half-drunk, took the female evil soul he had taken a fancy to earlier and was about to return to his sleeping palace.
Staggering halfway there, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind.
The gust was extremely swift and arrived in an instant.
Despite being drunk, the Bone Evil, having been the Earth Evil Monarch for hundreds of years, was alert.
Only to hear a "bang," he used the female evil soul in front of him as a shield.
The female evil soul screamed tragically, already torn into two by the sharp claw wind, instantly dissipating like smoke.
A fierce beast with a robust body leaped out from the darkness, in the dim castle, its skin, resembling scales or armor, shimmered with a silvery-white radiance.
The beast landed on the ground, as elegantly as a black panther—it was the ancient creature, Little Zhiyo.
Appearing alongside it was a Female Alchemist.
The Female Alchemist was not old, and due to not having seen any sunlight for several months, her skin was pale to the point of being nearly transparent. On her small, palm-sized face, however, were a pair of black eyes that were completely at odds with her age.
"Bone Evil Monarch, it's been a long time," the Female Alchemist's stunning lips curved into a slight smile, cold and bone-chilling like a knife.
Only to hear 'tap tap' sounds, two distinct torrents of Primordial Power, like springs gushing forth, erupted from Ye Lingyue and Little Zhiyo.
The Bone Evil Monarch was shocked, he never expected that the opponent would dare to infiltrate the Withered Bone Castle without him noticing.
"People..." That shouting voice was still stuck in his throat.
The Corrosive Soul Chain burst out, tightly entangling the Bone Evil Monarch, Little Zhiyo's immensely powerful giant palm slammed into the front of the Bone Evil Monarch.
Empowered by Qilin Blood, the striking force of Little Zhiyo's palm was ferocious and unparalleled, even the invulnerable Bone Evil Monarch was forced to stagger back several steps, his bones tingling from the impact.
The pressured Bone Evil Monarch let out an angry hiss.
From beneath itself, it pulled out a rib, where a surge of Evil Qi gathered.
"You know not of death, today this monarch will have both of you die right here."
Only to hear a loud boom from its hand, the rib transformed into a Bone Sword, and countless strands of Evil Qi surged toward the sword.
"Withered Bone Sword!"
The Bone Evil Monarch swung the Bone Sword which instantly turned into more than a dozen sword shadows, slashing towards the Corrosive Soul Chain, cutting the chain into several pieces.
Just as the Corrosive Soul Chain was shattered, suddenly numerous dagger shadows, following like shadows, shot towards the Bone Evil Monarch; behind him, Little Zhiyo roared angrily and pounced.
The Bone Evil Monarch laughed mockingly twice, seemingly ridiculing Ye Lingyue for overestimating herself with a mere little Dagger, thinking it could hurt him.
The Withered Bone Sword swung towards Little Zhiyo, forcing it back several steps, the Star Saliva Dagger had already reached behind, the Bone Evil Monarch didn't consider it a threat, and didn't even bother to parry. However, at that moment, the dagger suddenly split into several pieces, one of which was aimed straight towards the lower jaw of the Bone Evil Monarch.
The Bone Evil Monarch opened its mouth, its upper and lower jaws biting onto that piece of the Dagger.
