Chapter 64: Chapter 64: The Invincible Name under Da Luo [Additional Update Notice]_1
"Old Sha, what are you thinking about?" Tianpeng asked, seeing Sha Chen silent and assuming he was angry.
Sha Chen replied, "I was thinking about how to kill that demon outside or drive her away."
Tianpeng was stunned. "Old Sha, she’s my lifesaver!" he exclaimed. "Besides, she’s a Greater Primordial Golden Immortal. Can you even beat her?"
Although Sha Chen had also reached the Greater Primordial Golden Immortal realm, Tianpeng believed his constant, solitary cultivation meant he ultimately lacked real combat experience. Overseas, he had personally witnessed the White Bone Demon’s strength. Her transformations were numerous, her swordsmanship formidable. Her Ice Soul Divine Power, in particular, was nothing short of earth-shattering. With a single wave of her hand, a ten-thousand-li expanse of sea turned into glaciers.
Tianpeng told Sha Chen all of this, trying to dissuade him from such an unrealistic idea. "Old Sha, Miss Bai is very powerful. Let’s just forget about it. Moreover, she saved me."
After hearing this, Sha Chen said, "But her noise outside is disturbing my cultivation."
Tianpeng replied, "Just endure it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the White Bone Demon outside scoffed. "Juanlian Mao God, if you won’t come out, then fine! Just as I could save that pig spirit, I can kill him too. I’m going to Fuling Mountain right now to slice off his pig nose for my wine!" With that, she turned into a wisp of white smoke and vanished.
Tianpeng was taken aback, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Sha Chen consoled him, "Let it be. She saved you, after all. They’re just harsh words; don’t take them to heart."
「Two hours later.」
Suddenly, Tianpeng flew into a rage. "That damned White Bone Demon!" he roared. "She burned down my Yunzhan Cave and ate all my attendant boys and girls! I’m going to smash her heartless skeleton to pieces!"
Sha Chen placed a hand on his shoulder. "Endure it. After all, she saved your life. You need to repay kindness."
Tianpeng retorted, "Old Sha, stop rubbing it in! Just tell me, are we brothers or not? Come with me and help me chop her down!"
Sha Chen replied, "Sorry, I’m not going out."
Tianpeng was both furious and indignant but, knowing Sha Chen’s determination, he snorted, "Fine! Then if I can’t beat her, you can just watch me get killed!"
Sha Chen said, "You could just ignore her."
"She destroyed everything I’ve accumulated over the years!" Tianpeng said furiously. "That includes some rare treasures from overseas that I planted, intending to share half with you once they matured!"
Sha Chen was instantly enraged. "Why didn’t you say so earlier? We should have stopped her from leaving!"
Tianpeng, startled by Sha Chen’s anger, said, "I never expected her to be so vicious—to kill, commit arson, and even plunder everything I owned! Old Sha, stop glaring at me. Just tell me, what should we do?"
Sha Chen pursed his lips, his brows tightly knitted.
Just as he was about to speak, the White Bone Demon reappeared, laughing raucously on the riverbank.
"Juanlian Mao God, your grandmother has turned Fuling Mountain into scorched earth and made your good buddy into roast pig! Here’s his body!"
Beside her was a tray, upon which lay a several-hundred-pound fat pig, already roasted. She held it effortlessly with one hand, took out a dagger, sliced off the pig’s nose, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I paid you the honor of a visit, but you looked down on me! So, I’ll have to teach you a lesson! If you don’t accept this, then come out and fight me in the water! Don’t let a woman look down on you!" the White Bone Demon taunted with repeated sneers.
「Inside the formation.」
Sha Chen and Tianpeng exchanged glances. Tianpeng was so infuriated his teeth itched, but Sha Chen remained impassive.
Detecting that the host has been challenged by the Lucky Person, White Bone Demon. You have the following choices:
Option one: Accept the challenge and emerge victorious to receive the Dao Techniques reward: Congenital Duo Wen Decision. Congenital Duo Wen Decision: One of the Three Thousand Dao Cultivation Techniques. Cultivating it allows one to multitask.
Option two: Decline the challenge, turn a blind eye, and let things take their course to receive the demonic cultivation technique reward: White Bone Bible. White Bone Bible: One of the Three Thousand Demon Magic Techniques. It can be cultivated to achieve the indestructible White Bone Golden Body.
Sha Chen’s eyes lit up when he saw these options.
He was definitely going to take action against the White Bone Demon—if not for Tianpeng, then for himself. This time, the White Bone Demon was clearly targeting him. Such provocation demanded a lesson she would never forget; otherwise, she would be even more outrageous next time. It is said that women and villains are the most difficult to deal with. The White Bone Demon, having lived for countless years and possessing numerous tricks, had to be decisively defeated to instill fear in her. Otherwise, the underhanded tactics she might employ in the future would be exhausting to deal with.
However, Sha Chen hadn’t expected the reward to be so generous—to think it included the Congenital Duo Wen Decision, a renowned Dao Cultivation Technique. Being able to multitask would be perfect for controlling his avatars.
Without further hesitation, Sha Chen decisively chose to accept the challenge.
However, he couldn’t possibly leave the water to fight her directly. Doing so would break his vow and also allow the White Bone Demon to exploit the situation. If she kited him away, luring him from his stronghold like a tiger from its mountain, he would be in considerable danger.
After careful consideration, Sha Chen said, "Tianpeng, you’ve nearly mastered the 36 and 72 Polymorphic Transformations. Disguise yourself as me and lure her down here. I’ll ambush her and finish her off. How about that?"
Tianpeng was startled for a moment. "But can you defeat her?"
Sha Chen replied, "Let’s try. Her cultivation is probably at the early stage of a Greater Primordial Golden Immortal, comparable to mine. I might not win, but I won’t lose either."
Only then did Tianpeng nod. He shook his body and transformed into Sha Chen’s likeness. Then, he took out his Nine-Tooth Rake, blew a breath on it to transform it into the Eight-Treasure Crescent Moon Shovel, and, roaring, charged out of the Formation.
He headed upwards, emerging from the Flowing Sand River.
’Sha Chen’ burst out of the water, pointed at the White Bone Demon, and shouted fiercely, "Demon, you are insolent!"
The White Bone Demon’s eyes blazed with ghostly fire as she sneered, "Heh heh, I thought you, Juanlian Mao God, would hide for a lifetime!"
With that, she gestured with her hand. Leaves from the shore flew towards her, condensing into a green sword that, under her mana, solidified into a real blade. She kicked the roast pig to the ground and declared, "Juanlian Mao God, meet your death! Let me see what makes you worthy of the title invincible below Da Luo!"
’Sha Chen’ was confused. Since when did Old Sha have that reputation?
Inside the Formation, Sha Chen also heard this and frowned. Who pinned this title on me? Aren’t they trying to get me killed?
He wanted to maintain a low profile, but the reputation of being "invincible below Da Luo" was too prominent, enough to attract countless challengers.
Sha Chen was seething with rage. Who was trying to harm me!? There was no time to think further.
In the sky, ’Sha Chen’ was already no match for the White Bone Demon. He plunged into the water, heading downstream, apparently trying to retreat into the Formation.
The White Bone Demon laughed heartily as she executed the water avoidance art and dove into the water after him. "You, Juanlian Mao God, are merely at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm! How dare you claim the title of invincible below Da Luo? After I kill you, I, Bai Jingjing, will be the true invincible below Da Luo! That will pave my way to join the Sect of Interpretation!" she declared.
Inside the Formation, Sha Chen heard this and was furious. So, the White Bone Demon intended to use him as a stepping stone, leveraging the fame from killing him to gain favor and join the Sect of Interpretation.
