When the world was completely engulfed by flames, that was the time of his death.
"Shen Qian, you're celebrating too soon. So what if you've become a king or nobleman!"
Xu Nian practically roared these words through gritted teeth. Then, he suddenly opened his arms, and the remaining drifting ghost fire in the world seemed to be attracted by something, continuously converging towards Xu Nian's body.
Xu Nian screamed, a painful yet pleasurable expression on his face. With each ghostly fire entering his body, Xu Nian's aura surged by one point.
The next moment, the bones scattered across the ground were swept up by the raging wind and flowed into Xu Nian's body as if rivers were converging.
The skeletons included humans, demons, and enormous creatures of unknown size. Each bone that entered Xu Nian's body caused his size to increase by one unit.
Under Shen Qian's astonished gaze, in just a moment, Xu Nian transformed into a giant hundreds of feet tall.
The giant had three heads and six arms. Apart from Xu Nian's own head, the other two heads looked like thousands of faces sewn together with needle and thread. Those faces were howling and shrieking, ugly and ferocious, and chilling to the bone.
The other four arms were entirely made of bone, with each arm's palm transformed into sharp, enormous bone spikes that emitted a chilling light.
Xu Nian, whose aura had already surged to a certain critical point, was still not satisfied. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji You, who was still seriously injured and unconscious on the ground, and stuffed him into his big mouth.
Accompanied by the grating crunching sound of chewing, Ji You became Xu Nian's nourishment without uttering a sound.
Immediately, Xu Nian reached out and grabbed Guo Zhouyuan, whose expression had changed drastically.
"Second Senior Brother, you can't kill me! Teacher won't allow you to do that, Second Senior Brother..."
"Kill Shen Qian, and the teacher won't say a word!"
Xu Nian, his face contorted, let out a low laugh that produced a booming sound, his scarlet eyes filled with violence and cruelty.
"No!"
Guo Zhouyuan screamed in terror, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and attempted to escape.
However, he had only escaped a hundred meters when he was firmly grasped by a huge hand that arrived after him. Then, the hand made of white bones suddenly exerted force, and with a "bang," Guo Zhouyuan, who was already at the pinnacle of the mountain and sea, became a lump of flesh and blood.
Xu Nian threw the mangled flesh directly into the mouth of the head in the center, chewed it fiercely, and swallowed Guo Zhouyuan's corpse in a few bites.
"Tsk, fresh flesh and blood taste so much better!"
With a satisfied chuckle, Xu Nian's already critical aura finally broke through again after absorbing Guo Zhouyuan.
The sky and earth changed color, and the eerie ghostly aura almost instantly reversed, sweeping away all the flames.
"Your Majesty..."
Shen Qian and his clone stared at Xu Nian's body, which resembled a demon god, both with solemn expressions.
At this moment, Xu Nian finally broke through that barrier, becoming comparable to a true king or marquis... no, perhaps even stronger than an ordinary Golden Immortal-level king or marquis.
