He closed his eyes, then opened them, and the world had changed. Ji An, carrying a stone turtle with Bagua patterns, rose from obscurity.

Chapter 1001 The White Bone Demon God Dies
"The other party's cultivation has actually reached the late stage of the Three Flowers Realm. No wonder he is so arrogant and dares to exude the pressure of a cultivator."
This area has been cleared by my senior brother; there are no powerful bat demons here. Otherwise, his arrogance would have surely led to him being surrounded and attacked by monsters.
Bai Ye Shengjun pouted, feeling quite resentful. Seeing her former enemy rise to a higher level, her good mood for the White Bone Demon God she had refined also faded somewhat.
The Holy Lord of the Moon nodded in agreement and sneered:
"He's lucky, but that's it. Judging from the terrain, the chances of a sneak attack are slim. Let's wait a moment and see if there's a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack; otherwise, we'll launch a full-scale assault."
To outsiders, he owes his fame to the power of Blood Soul, but in reality, he has far more killing moves than just Blood Soul.
The enemy's situation is now clear: several puppets, a late-stage Three Flowers Realm cultivator, and a transformed demon beast at the early-stage Three Flowers Realm.
No matter how lifelike a puppet is, it is still a tasteless piece of wood in the eyes of a Blood Soul. High-level puppets have divine power, but no soul.
Both real living beings possessed blood and qi power exceeding his own realm, which indirectly shows that the enemy was not an easy target, but it made little difference to him.
Even in the outside world, he was confident he could defeat such a combination, let alone in the Primordial Ancient Mine, which had a significant suppressive effect on cultivators! At this moment, he was calculating how to achieve his goal at the lowest possible cost.
"Junior sister, please tell me in detail about the opponent's fighting techniques."
Hunting is much more efficient if targeted attacks can be launched, and he never refuses a battle that saves time and effort.
Bai Ye Shengjun coughed lightly and recounted their past encounter in detail.
She considered that battle a disgrace, as she had a clear advantage in cultivation level but had not gained any benefit from it.
From then on, she treated her enemies as hypothetical adversaries. Besides the need for her cultivation techniques, she also sought revenge when refining the White Bone Demon God.
Half an hour later, the spying Blood Soul returned and reported the enemy's current situation.
The Holy Lord of the Moon frowned slightly and said:
"The enemy is directing the puppets to dig through the earth and rocks. Their losses are very small, and it seems that waiting any longer will not bring a better opportunity."
We'll approach slowly, getting as close as possible to the enemy before revealing ourselves.
Cultivators are skilled in ranged attacks and adept at using spells or manipulating magical treasures to fight enemies from afar.
The enemy is now in an environment where it is difficult to use escape techniques; as long as the space is compressed, they will have to withstand their attacks.
With no room to maneuver, the enemy could only endure their relentless attacks.
Bai Ye Shengjun nodded slightly and took out the White Bone Umbrella Demon Treasure:
"Senior brother, let me lead the charge. You stay outside and oversee the battle, then wait in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out."
The mine tunnel where the enemy was located was a dead end. As long as they blocked the exit, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar.
Although the mine tunnels looked wide enough, they were too cramped during combat, making it difficult for the two of them to fight at the same time.
"Yes, but junior sister must not be careless."
The Holy Lord of the Moon instructed that although he despised any enemy in his heart, he was never arrogant in battle and always believed that "even a lion must fight a rabbit with all its might."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will do my best."
Bai Ye Shengjun responded solemnly, saying that if the enemy's cultivation level were still at the mid-stage of the Three Flowers Realm, she was confident that she could crush him with the help of the White Bone God and Demon. However, now that the enemy's cultivation level had broken through to the next realm, the advantage brought by the White Bone God and Demon was not particularly obvious.
Ji An had been carefully observing the situation in the mine tunnel. When he caught a glimpse of black smoke spreading rapidly, he immediately realized that the enemy hiding in the shadows was about to reveal themselves.
"Watch out! Back off!"
He whispered a warning to Wuyue Sanren.
As he spoke, his hand seals shifted, and in an instant, he completed the spell, sending several pillars of flame that occupied half of the mine tunnel soaring into the air.
The pillars of fire are interspersed, and there are only two ways for enemies to rush in: either charge straight in or fly through the gaps between the pillars of fire.
He didn't know much about demonic cultivators, but he did know that their main methods required close proximity to the target to be effective.
No matter what methods the enemy uses, he always has a follow-up.
Because he was always on guard, his spellcasting speed was fast but not hasty.
The spells had no names; they were created spontaneously. Now, his understanding of the power of Yin and Yang was profound enough that releasing any spell he conceived of to achieve a certain effect was as instinctive as if it were his own doing.
This time, he cast the spell with a tentative attitude, only using the magic power within his body and the power of the Five Banners, and only releasing a portion of the power of the Ground Flame Banner and the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.
Even so, the powerful flames blocked the surging black mist.
The black mist was ignited, and a mournful, demonic sound emanated from it.
Bai Ye Shengjun was startled. Judging from the power emanating from the enemy's fire magic, it was not at all like the height that could be reached under the suppression of the special environment of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Last time she faced off against her opponent, she was the one who took the initiative to attack while the opponent was the one who defended.
The enemy did not demonstrate any mastery of fire magic, likely due to the limitations of the environment in the Vast Sea Realm.
In that battle, she suffered heavy losses of the demonic souls she had cultivated for many years, which made her dare not fight with demonic souls again.
The black mist turned into black ash and fell down, quickly dissipating into nothingness.
As the pillar of fire slowly died down, Ji An saw the enemy's appearance:
"Hey, an old acquaintance. You think you've finally succeeded this time? Or has the White Bone Temple built a branch on Ziwei Star?"
He made a teasing remark, deliberately trying to provoke the other party, but his mind was completely on edge, and he activated a mid-grade fifth-level Purification Talisman in his hand.
During their only encounter, the enemy's methods nearly caused his nascent soul to fall into oblivion, but fortunately, the stone tortoise revealed its power.
That encounter was one of the few times he found himself in a precarious situation, and since then, he has paid even more attention to improving his spiritual power.
Aside from the Purifying Spirit Talisman, he didn't have many defensive means to deal with attacks of the soul type, but he understood a simple truth: as long as the soul power is strong enough, he is not afraid of any means.
Since the Soul-Nourishing Tree blossomed and bore fruit, he has had a more effective way to enhance and nourish his soul. Now, the strength of his soul is more than 40% greater than when he was in the Vast Sea Realm. Such a great improvement is unimaginable to outsiders.
Bai Ye Shengjun abandoned his plan for a quick victory; there was no other way, the enemy was more troublesome than before.
She activated the Demon Form and the White Bone Myriad Spirit Umbrella, preparing for a war of attrition. At the same time, it could conceal the White Bone Demon God, allowing the White Bone Demon God to launch a surprise attack, which would likely inflict significant damage on the enemy.
Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, she still has her senior brother backing her up, who can handle the final cleanup.
Black winds churned through the mine tunnels, spreading a foul stench. The stone walls, as hard as high-grade spiritual materials, sizzled and crackled due to corrosion.
The demonic form of a demonic cultivator is the Dharma form of an immortal cultivator. When an enemy attacks using this form, it signifies that the enemy is going all out.
Several bone demons hovered on the edge of colliding with the Dharma bodies, occasionally unleashing the soul fire in their eye sockets to launch attacks.
Ji An dared not delay and immediately activated his Dharma Image, while simultaneously activating the power of the Five Banners.
In the last battle, he had to protect the Five Mountains Hermit. Today, although he is in a deadly situation, he does not need to be distracted. Therefore, he changed his defensive posture and attacked instead.
In the region where he lived, the sun rose and set, the sea changed, and all things withered and flourished in the flow of time. There were also barren mountains that nurtured metal, and the metal element transformed into the bleak autumn wind.
A black wind surged from the opposite side, accompanied by mournful howls and roars, the sounds shrill and desperate.
Ji An chose fire magic, and this time he used the Flame Banner off the ground as the center to construct a brand new defensive field.
This magical artifact is of a high enough grade that, using it as a central point, allows for the casting of even more powerful fire-based spells.
The rocks in the mine tunnels were pulverized by the conflict between the two forces, which continuously expanded the volume of the mine tunnels.
The battle escalated to a fever pitch in an instant, with both sides choosing the most intense clashes without any fancy moves, relying solely on overwhelming force.
Ji An didn't know what the other party's mindset was, but he wasn't afraid of any challenge.
Whoever backs down loses, whoever is weak dies. The Primordial Ancient Mine's suppression of demonic cultivators is not as strong as its suppression of immortal cultivators, but it still has some effect.
If they fight to the very end like this, the opponent will realize they are no match for them and will have little chance of escaping.
Ji An continued to escalate his attack, gradually unleashing the full power of the Flame Banner that had lifted off the ground.
Now that the enemy has delivered themselves to our doorstep, they can forget about leaving alive this time.
He was prepared to use the fifth-grade superior spiritual treasure—the Yuan Magnetic Divine Needle—that he had never used in actual combat since it was crafted, when the right opportunity came.
Hiding behind the black mist, the Holy Lord of the Moon saw that his junior sister's demonic form was slowly being suppressed by the enemy's dharma form, and he couldn't help but look at the enemy with even greater respect.
It should be noted that the junior sister's cultivation level is already close to the perfect level of the Three Flowers Realm, while the other party was only a mid-stage Three Flowers Realm cultivator a few hundred years ago. This means that the enemy's breakthrough in realm is at most a few hundred years away.
However, his heart burned even hotter. The enemy's blood and energy were abundant, and his soul power was so strong. This was definitely top-notch 'material'.
He kept a close eye on the battle, the two blood spirits hidden in the billowing black mist, ready to launch an attack at the first opportunity.
About half an hour later, Ji An's advantage was slowly decreasing. Anxiety appeared on his face as he tried his best to activate his Dharma Form, but the area he controlled was gradually shrinking, and the fire element spells he activated also stopped.
He fought for control several times, and although he was able to continue to compress the enemy's demonic form, he was generally losing the initiative.
This was done intentionally, with the aim of giving the other party a reason to take a risk or be careless.
At this moment, Baiye Shengjun showed a slight smile. She had no advantage at all in this clash between the Dharma form and the demon form, but now she finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
She maintained a calm and composed demeanor, but inwardly she was becoming somewhat anxious. If the enemy could sustain the attrition, she would have no choice but to launch a surprise attack by the White Bone Demon God without adequate preparation.
At this time, a surprise attack would have limited effect, and if it could not produce direct results, she would probably be looked down upon by her senior brother.
Ji An took out a Soul Nourishing Pill and swallowed it. Then he took out a Cloud-Pan Fruit, chewed it haphazardly a few times, spat out the pit, and swallowed the flesh.
His actions sent a very clear message: 'I'm almost done for, come and hit me!'
Normally, a cultivator at the late stage of the Three Flowers Realm would not be able to sustain such a long battle of dharma. His acting was very realistic and did not feel abrupt at all.
The Holy Lord Baiye was overjoyed. 'Now!'
The fact that the enemy has swallowed pills and spiritual fruits indicates that their magical power and spiritual energy have been depleted to a certain extent, and they will soon be unable to continue.
At this point, the enemy will inevitably be distracted by refining the elixir, and the opportunity for a breakthrough will arrive.
After about ten breaths, she made several probes and indeed found that the enemy's control over the Dharma Image had decreased somewhat.
Baiye Shengjun transmitted his upcoming attack to his senior brother, and upon receiving a reply, immediately activated his demonic form with all his might.
The demonic form instantly compressed the Dharma form area considerably, and the white bone demon shot out at that moment.
The soul fire in its eye sockets blazed wildly, and the bone spurs on its back shot towards the enemy at an exaggerated speed.
Using bone spikes in combat is the White Bone Demon's ranged attack method, followed by close-range biting.
Ji An sensed the power of the White Bone Demon God and, disregarding the need to conceal his strength, unleashed his full power to activate his magic.
The magical power surged within the immortal veins, and the Yin-Yang Dao Seeds emitted spiritual light, enhancing the spirituality contained within the magical power.
Apart from the Flame Light Banner, all the other five banners were mobilized to their fullest extent, transforming into streaks of light that entered the Five Elements Divine Palaces that were identical to their own.
He poured this immense power into Lingbao's body, and the fire phoenix flew out of his dantian, instantly transforming from the size of a sparrow to the size of a car, with golden and red flames surging out like a torrent.
With the support of all of Ji An's power, this torrent scorched the void, and tiny black cracks appeared at the edges of the flames, forming spatial rifts.
The torrent's target was not the approaching white bone demons, but the White Night Saint King who was further behind.
The magnetic needles were mixed in with the torrent and could not be detected at all.
Just before the bone spurs arrived, Ji An released the modified 'Solid Metal Technique', turning into a piece of golden 'solid ice'.
The attack of the Bone Demon God was extremely powerful; the bone spikes pierced half a foot into the metal elemental light at its hardest state, but eventually could not continue.
However, the bone spurs have accomplished their mission, and the absolute defense of the Solid Metal Technique has been broken.
At this moment, the White Bone Demon God had already entered the Dharma Realm. It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and its soul fire carried an arrogant indifference.
Unfortunately, it was slowed down by the power of the Dharma Image; this is the distance between life and death.
Ji An dispelled the spell the instant he blocked the bone spurs, and activated another self-created spell.
He stretched out his hands and clasped them together, and black and white millstones appeared above and below the white bone demon.
Yin and Yang attract each other, and the millstone rotates closer at an unimaginable speed.
The greatest truths are the simplest, and the principle behind this spell is also very simple: Yin and Yang grind everything like a millstone.
Like wheat being placed into a millstone, the bones of the White Bone Demon God, which were even harder than fifth-grade top-quality materials, were crushed into fragments.
It had many tricks up its sleeve but was instantly killed.
Ji An's seemingly simple actions actually mobilized all the power he could control, and the stone turtle also provided assistance, which surprised him somewhat.
With the help of the spiritual light emitted by the stone tortoise, the power of the spell was increased by 20%, which enabled it to succeed in one fell swoop.
He originally estimated that the spell would only cause some damage to the White Bone Demon, and should not be fatal.
Baiye Saint Lord desperately activated the White Bone Myriad Spirits Umbrella to barely block the torrent of magical power, but unexpectedly, a tiny Yuan Magnetic Divine Needle pierced through the umbrella and disappeared into her brow without a sound.
