CHAPTER 957: CHAPTER 948: HEROES EMERGE TOGETHER

"Not good, it’s coming out!"

Someone exclaimed, their face changing dramatically. If that Holy Bone were to emerge from the ruins, everyone here would likely be doomed.

"Saint Master, save us!"

A disciple from a prominent faction looked fearful, unable to refrain from shouting into the surrounding void.

In an instant, space shook, and a figure slowly emerged high in the endless sky. This was a Saint Master level Great Power. At this moment, he frowned, his gaze piercing through the crowd, landing on the Holy Bone.

"The Holy Emperor’s Skeleton..."

This Saint Master frowned, sensing the endless crisis the Holy Bone brought.

"Everyone, please reveal yourselves and suppress it together, or if allowed to emerge, the Xuanwu Alliance will never know peace again!" The Saint Master spoke without moving her gaze, her majestic voice echoing from her mouth.

In fact, when the ruins first appeared, many Saint Master-level Great Powers had come in secret, but they had never shown themselves.

They were supreme beings in this world. Any one of them could sweep across a region, and if a battle ensued, the Xuanwu Alliance would inevitably tremble because of it.

Therefore, before entering the ruins, various forces had already set a certain agreement that Saint Master experts should not enter, instead allowing the Great Elders to lead their entry.

Now, the Holy Bone had awakened with murderous intent, and within the ruins, tens of thousands of cultivators had been slain. If they did not unite to act, allowing the Holy Bone to walk out of the ruins, there would no longer be a safe place in the Xuanwu Alliance.

A Holy Emperor Corpse was born, and no one dared underestimate it. If left to roam within the Xuanwu Alliance, it might descend upon one of the Sacred Lands one day, and that Sacred Land would likely face destruction because of it.

This was something no one wanted to happen to them, so before the Holy Bone could leave the ruins, the hidden Saint Master Great Powers had no choice but to join forces and suppress it.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

In the void all around, fluctuations emerged continuously, ripples dissipating, and countless powerful and unparalleled auras filled the space. In less than a few breaths, no less than thirteen Saint Master Great Powers appeared here.

"Boom!"

A Void Giant Hand appeared as one Saint Master moved first. A massive, earthen-yellow hand shrouded the Heavenly Vault, covering the closing gap below.

The hand carried supremely majestic power, shattering the void wherever it passed. This was an attack by a Saint Master expert powerful enough to suppress all formidable foes in the world.

"Boom!"

As the hand passed through the gap with everyone’s eyes fixed on it, it directly struck the Holy Bone.

"Did it succeed?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise. The terrifying level of this attack could destroy heaven and earth, and now it had directly hit the mark. Many believed that no matter how powerful the Holy Bone was, it must have been blasted to smithereens.

"Sizzle..."

However, unexpectedly, when the smoke cleared, the Holy Bone was unharmed. It still stood with its hands behind its back, its hollow eyes looking over. Suddenly, a Divine Rainbow soared into the sky, transforming into a blade, as if to cut open the Heavenly Vault, fiercely slashing at the Saint Master level expert who attacked earlier.

The Saint Master expert’s face changed, feeling the terrifying nature of the slash. As his body swiftly retreated, he pressed out a hand in mid-air, releasing a terrifying Hand Force like a volcanic eruption, smashing the void to pieces.

"Crack!"

The blade formed by the Divine Rainbow was shattered in half by the attack, yet its sharpness remained undiminished. It swept away in the distance, shattering a large mountain to debris.

"So terrifying, is this the power of a Holy Emperor expert of yesteryear? Even after ten thousand years have passed, and now the Holy Bone has revived, it can still possess such combat power!"

People exclaimed in shock, their expressions changing, growing increasingly worried. If this Holy Bone emerged, the Xuanwu Alliance would surely fall into chaos, and no one would be safe.

"Act together!"

Another Saint Master Great Power shouted coldly.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Fang Yuan appeared, also frowning as he looked at the Holy Bone within the ruins. "The gap is about to close, do not attack, otherwise, it will only grow larger."

Hearing this, everyone ceased their actions. They saw the Holy Bone still quietly standing in the air within the ruins, making no movements.

"Buzz!"

Eventually, the gap was completely closed, chaotic power formed Wind Gang, seemingly capable of shredding everything.

"Whew, the gap closed, and the Holy Bone will retreat with the ancient ruins into hiding once again."

Seeing this, some couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, faces somewhat celebratory as if surviving a catastrophe.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."

However, unexpectedly, the chaotic power sealing the crevice suddenly emitted a crisp cracking sound.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and in an instant, the seal shattered as if crushed by some terrifying power.

"What?!"

Seeing this, everyone was horrified once again. The seal formed by these chaotic powers could only be opened with a Holy Path Weapon to create a gap. However, it was suddenly destroyed, leaving one to imagine what kind of formidable force was needed to accomplish this.

"Bring out the Holy Weapon!"

In the high sky, Fang Yuan’s pupils shrank. After a cold shout, the Holy Path Weapon in the Fang Family’s Great Elder’s hand suddenly flew to his own hand.

"Everyone, now that the seal has been broken, this Holy Bone is sustained by the residual thoughts of a former Holy Emperor, difficult to eliminate. I ask everyone to act together, using our Human Clan Ancestor Artifact to suppress it, sealing the ancient ruins together beneath the earth!" Fang Yuan spoke urgently.

Upon hearing this, the Saint Master experts couldn’t help but frown. "How could we do this? What kind of supreme treasure is an Ancestor Artifact? Even a Sacred Land would only possess at most two within. It’s already fortunate for other ancient martial families to have one. Yet Fang Yuan wants us all to bring them out to suppress these ruins?"

"Besides this, do you have any other solutions?"

Fang Yuan frowned, looking at the others. "Compared to the lives of countless Xuanwu Alliance cultivators, what does an Ancestor Artifact mean? Daoist Fellow also does not wish for his own Sect to be annihilated by this Holy Emperor’s Skeleton in the future, right?"

"This..."

At these words, everyone frowned fully. As Fang Yuan said, there was probably no other way.

The Ancient Saint Emperor’s remains could only be suppressed if a contemporary Holy Emperor Great Power intervened. Otherwise, no one could do it.

But with this relic’s appearance, no one from Xuan Emperor City had come, and Emperor Xuansheng was stationed at the Xuan Emperor Palace. Even if we rushed to invite him now, it would be too late.

"Act swiftly, or there will be no time!"

A Saint Master Great Power stepped forward, reaching a massive hand towards the ground, instantly capturing the Holy Path Weapon from an elder’s hand, taking it into his own.

Seeing this, the others dared not hesitate any longer. The Holy Bone had already reached the edge of the crevice, about to emerge.

"Take action!"

A dozen Saint Master Great Powers, all holding Human Clan Ancestor Artifacts, suddenly caused a burst of radiance. Over a dozen rays interwove in the sky, forming a Law Sea that covered the entire Heavenly Vault.

Everyone held their breath, feeling the terrifying destructive power emanating from the Law Sea.

"Boom!"

In the hands of the Saint Masters, Holy Path Weapons flew up, merging into the vast Law Sea. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the entire Law Sea rolled towards the location of the crevice, covering it in its entirety.
