Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Void Giant Beast

"Ah!"

Amid excruciating pain, the Blood Skeleton seemed to have lost his sanity, unleashing crazed attacks as countless white bone spikes erupted from the ground.

He intended to kill Ling Xiao, but the bone spikes inadvertently involved innocent bystanders; many martial artists near the Martial Arts Platform were caught off guard and were pierced through by the spikes, instantly turned to ashes by the blood-red flames.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Madly, the bone spikes kept shooting out, causing countless martial artists to flee in a panic, distancing themselves from the Martial Arts Platform.

However, Ling Xiao himself remained completely unharmed.

With black and white wings unfurled behind him, he took to the skies, avoiding all the bone spike attacks.

"You think it’s great that you can fly? I’ve found a way to counter your Body Movement Technique in the past month!"

Although the Blood Skeleton’s body was still bleeding, his senses seemed to be gradually returning.

He no longer wasted his Heavenly Origin Power, instead pulling a curious bone from his pocket.

"This Magical Treasure, the White Bone Cage, cost me a fortune to forge!"

Having said that, he threw the bone into the air.

In an instant, the entire Martial Arts Platform was enveloped, and the White Bone Cage kept shrinking, almost becoming flat with a height of only about four meters—just enough for the Blood Skeleton to stand there.

Ling Xiao, trying to perform his Body Movement Technique, was completely unable to move.

"Go to die! In the White Bone Cage, you have no freedom, only death at my hands!"

The blood on half of the Blood Skeleton’s body slowly coagulated, and his wounds began to heal. Though it was unlikely he would regrow lost parts, it seemed improbable that he would die from excessive blood loss.

He now had full control over the Martial Arts Platform and completely suppressed Ling Xiao.

"How quickly the tables have turned. Just moments ago, Ling Xiao had the upper hand, and now, the Blood Skeleton has gained the advantage!"

"Yeah, if it weren’t for the deaths of some innocents, today’s battle would have been truly thrilling."

"Hmph, I actually hope Ling Xiao kills that Blood Skeleton now. You’re fighting your own battle, how can you cause harm to the innocent? Despicable."

"Exactly, that Blood Skeleton is despicable!"

Among the spectators, support for Ling Xiao began to grow.

Although this support was temporary and carried no real significance, as long as these voices could spread, Ling Xiao would have an easier time realizing his dream of human renaissance.

"Body Movement Technique?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, "What if I told you that I’m not using any Body Movement Technique at all right now, just relying purely on the speed of my physical body? Would you believe me?"

Ever since his Body Movement Technique was sealed, Ling Xiao had relied only on the speed of his physical body and his mutated black and white wings.

To be misunderstood as a master of movement techniques was somewhat helplessly amusing.

"Hehehe, whether it’s your movement technique or natural speed, today you’re going to die regardless!"

The Blood Skeleton sneered, manipulating the white bones covering the ground into a giant bone spike, aiming it straight at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao attempted to dodge, but his feet were bound by the soft bones, rendering him completely immobile.

"Master!"

Leng Mei became frantic, rising to her feet from her seat.

Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling, Joshua Long, Zhao Zhi, and others all stood up.

Even if it meant breaking the rules, they couldn’t stand idly by and watch Ling Xiao be killed.

"This youngster sure has made a good bunch of loyal and righteous friends."

"Too bad, though. In terms of strength, he is ultimately a notch below the Blood Skeleton. Dying like this, although heroic, is too much of a waste. With his potential, he should be able to easily surpass the Blood Skeleton in the future."

Down below, many experts shook their heads in pity for Ling Xiao’s fate.

"Sit down!"

Ling Xiao shouted loudly, "I know you care about me, but if I were to be killed by such riffraff and shameless people, I wouldn’t be worthy of being the Heavenly Dragon Continent’s Chosen Son of Heaven!"

Everyone must take responsibility for their actions.

Ling Xiao was no exception.

From the day he provoked the Blood Skeleton, he had anticipated this day, so even if he were to truly die here, he would have no regrets.

He wouldn’t implicate his friends, either.

Leng Mei and the others did not sit down.

They didn’t care whether Ling Xiao had backbone or not, they just wanted to see a living person!

"I can’t die!"

Ling Xiao’s voice became indifferent, standing there, although wrapped in the White Bone Cage and seemingly in grave danger.

Yet that small figure, in an instant, appeared so tall, so confident, and so majestically powerful.

"To live is not always to rejoice, and to die is not necessarily to fear! In life, I, Ling Xiao, should be an expert among men, and in death, a hero among spirits! There’s nothing to sigh over!"

Ling Xiao’s voice, filled with unwavering determination, said, "Besides, he doesn’t have the capability to kill me!"

"What a hero!"

"To live as an expert, to die as a heroic spirit! Such spirit!"

"Probably only such spirit could lead him to accomplish so many earth-shattering feats."

This battle was very difficult.

The Light and Shadow Divine Cone failed to kill the opponent!

Speed and flight were also unusable!

Even the Void Shadow Crocodile couldn’t completely defeat the Blood Skeleton!

This was not a good thing for Ling Xiao.

Although he had a fusion skill that was a combination of the Void Shadow Crocodile and the Golden Crow Eclipse, this move had not been tested in actual combat.

That is to say, even he himself did not know what kind of effect it would have.

If this move also failed, then he really would be out of options.

Unless, at this critical moment, he made another breakthrough, otherwise, what he was likely to face was truly his impending demise.

He took a deep breath.

Ling Xiao withdrew the Eye of the World.

He was going to exert his full strength for this final move.

There could be no dispersion of energy.

Whether to live or to fail depended entirely on the power of this strike.

Within the Mountain and River World.

In the vastness of the universe.

A red sun hung high in the sky.

A giant Golden Crow circled in the cosmos, while nearby there was a dark Void Shadow Crocodile.

The Golden Crow faced off against the Void Shadow Crocodile, making contact.

Light and shadow began to partially fuse.

A blurry image appeared in the cosmos.

What was that?

Ling Xiao strained his Soul Power to see, but all he saw was a shadow, an unclear shadow.

It was something created by the fusion of the Golden Crow and the Void Shadow Crocodile. Although it was unclear, Ling Xiao could feel the terrifying power of the shadow.

Dominant, ferocious, noble, supreme!

This was the true Giant Beast!

This newly born thing was definitely not as simple as one plus one.

Just like the power of the Light and Shadow Divine Cone far surpassed the Crimson Sun Cone and the Shadow Cone.

This new thing was more powerful than either the Golden Crow or the Void Shadow Crocodile, and more terrfying than both abilities combined.

The will to destroy everything? Was this an upgraded version of the Destruction Will?

Ling Xiao didn’t know, nor could he describe it easily, but he could see that this shadow possessed a terrifying power and will to annihilate everything.

This was similar to his Destruction Sword Intent, but it was even more domineering.

Destruction and annihilation were close in meaning, but entirely different in degree.

Originally, Ling Xiao just wanted to integrate a new move, but he had not expected that a mere invisible Giant Beast’s shadow would bring such a significant advancement, elevating his Destruction Sword Intent directly into Annihilation Sword Intent.
