The Devil Bone Runes were different. The Devil Bone Runes were a type of Devil Clan runes that the members of the Devil Clan were born equipped with. The method of inheritance was similar to the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit, both coming from powerful and prosperous ancestral devils. However, the inheritance of the Devil Bone Runes was a matter of luck. Not all members of the same Devil Clan would be able to obtain them. Usually, if a Devil Clan member could obtain Devil Bone Runes, it meant that it had extraordinary talent.

From the moment they were born, Devil Bone Runes were imprinted on the bones of the members of the Devil Clan. They contained mysterious power within them. Those of the Devil Clan who were equipped with Devil Bone Runes could practice by themselves, constantly cultivating the Devil Bone Runes to become more powerful. They could treat the Devil Bone Runes as their own special power and could improve it as they continued to cultivate it.

In theory, if a member of the Devil Clan had outstanding talent and was able to cultivate the Devil Bone Runes to the highest realm, they could surpass the ancestral devil that they inherited the Devil Bone Runes from.

However, it was rare for such a talented member of the Devil Clan to appear even once in ten thousand years.

Although the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit could also become more powerful as the member of the Devil Clan’s cultivation improved, they could not improve in terms of their essence. It all depended on the ancestral devil that they had inherited the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit from. That meant that the power of the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit could never surpass the ancestral devil’s own. Once the member of the Devil Clan’s cultivation surpassed that of their ancestral devil, the Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit’s power would no longer increase.

Usually, if a member of the Devil Clan’s cultivation surpassed their own Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit, their Ancestral Devil Sacred Spirit would be useless.

Mo Wen had not expected that the Wyvern Beast King would have Devil Bone Runes. Even the simplest Devil Bone Runes meant that the Wyvern Beast King was exceptional. No wonder it could practice to such a high level.

The Devil Bone Runes were the Devil Clan’s secret technique. They were similar to Inherent Skills but were far more powerful than ordinary Inherent Skills.

Shrouds of black light enveloped the heavens and the earth. On them, ancient and complicated Devil Clan runes flashed. Mo Wen immediately stopped, not daring to continue making his way forward. He could feel a frightening destructive power emanating from the runes. Recklessly moving forward might trigger an unimaginable attack.

Chu Yuan also came to a stop, looking at the black light shroud blocking his way. His expression kept changing. After hesitating for a while, he also decided against trying to make his way forward. The ability of a pinnacle Beast King was too frightening, similar to an absolute strong practitioner at the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm. Even in his prime, he would most likely not be a match for this Wyvern Beast King, let alone now when his cultivation was restricted,

Even the Fire Domain’s Five Colored Peacock did not have cultivation equal to that of the Wyvern Beast King. At most, the Fire Domain’s Five Colored Peacock was equal to a Martial Arts Grandmaster second realm human ancient martial art practitioner.

A Five Colored Peacock was able to take on seven human Martial Arts Grandmasters alone. One could imagine how powerful the Wyvern Beast King before them was.

“Lord Beast King, you are so powerful. I know that the two of us will not be able to escape from you.” Mo Wen turned around and shrugged at the Wyvern Beast King. He gave the impression of already having given up.

“You know your limits.” The Wyvern Beast King gradually descended from the sky. It looked at Mo Wen and laughed aloud. It most enjoyed the helpless looks of its prey.

“However, before I die, I have one wish. As you can see, I have a grudge with this black-robed man. If I can see him die before my very eyes, I will have no regrets in this life. Also, he is an immortal cultivator. His flesh is rather delicious. Surely, you will enjoy eating him more,” Mo Wen said as he sighed, apparently helplessly.

Chu Yuan had not expected that Mo Wen would be shameless enough as to provoke the Wyvern Beast King to eat him first. The rage in his heart could not be quelled.

“Lord Beast King, I am indeed an immortal cultivator and my flesh is indeed delicious. However, shouldn’t the best be left for last? If you eat me first, would you still be interested in eating an ordinary human? Why don’t you eat him first, and then eat me? Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”

Chu Yuan coldly snorted. He seemed as though he had calmed down but was given away by his eyes as they frantically swirled in their sockets, searching for a means to escape. He was trying to persuade the Wyvern Beast King to eat Mo Wen first, not only to seek revenge but to also possibly give him the opportunity to find a means to escape.

“Both of you speak with reason. This is indeed a difficult choice to make.” The Wyvern Beast King touched its chin with one hand very much like a human, as it considered who to eat first.

“Since the Lord Beast King can’t seem to choose, why don’t we do it like this: I will fight him. Whoever loses will be eaten by you first,” Mo Wen suggested with a smile as he cast a glance at Chu Yuan.

“Alright! That’s how we’ll do it.” The Wyvern Beast King seemed to be very interested in Mo Wen’s suggestion. It agreed to it in an instant. The black light on its body surged, and a terrifying power sealed the surrounding space. Only then did it look at the two of them in high spirits. There was a playful look in its eyes, as though it was watching two wild beasts fighting in an arena.

A black mist surged from Chu Yuan’s body. A pair of quiet, green eyes slowly looked at Mo Wen. Chu Yuan said, “I have long wanted to kill you. Since it has come to this, I will kill you first. Then, when we get out, I will kill you again.”

He looked slowly at Mo Wen, ignoring the terrifying Wyvern Beast King. He knew that it would be impossible for him to escape against such a pinnacle Beast King. Since he would not really die here, why not take this opportunity to kill Mo Wen once and let off some steam?

“I was thinking the same thing. Let’s see who will be killed by the other. I have not killed an immortal cultivator in a long time,” Mo Wen said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan was shocked. Mo Wen hadn’t killed an immortal cultivator in a long time? Could it be that this youth had killed immortal cultivators before?

However, he immediately felt relieved. This youth could recognize him, so his background was clearly exceptional. Being able to come in contact with a few immortal cultivators was not that unusual. But not all immortal cultivators were powerful. There were some immortal cultivators with low cultivation, even weaker than ancient martial art practitioners of the same realm.

“You may begin. As agreed, I will eat whoever loses,” the Wyvern Beast King said.

“I will only need ten breaths to kill you.” Chu Yuan laughed coldly. His sleeve shook and a grindstone the size of a palm flew out.

The grindstone released a beam of black light. It grew larger in an instant, floating in mid-air. It slowly spun, emanating an aura that was rich and ancient beyond compare.

Once the grindstone appeared, even the Wyvern Beast King gave it a perplexed look. It could tell that there was more to this item than met the eye. However, it only gave it a glance, then lost interest in it. Monstrous beasts like it could not use immortal cultivator treasures like these. Unless it evolved into a member of the Devil Clan and had pure Devil Clan demonic power, only then could it activate such a treasure.

“A medium grade profound level weapon.”

A look of astonishment flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The grey grindstone that Chu Yuan released was actually a medium grade profound level weapon.

After spending a long time in the Fire Domain, he had seen quite a few profound level weapons, but this was the first medium grade profound level weapon he had seen.

No wonder that Chu Yuan had easily been able to destroy the attack of the Peacock Beast King with the help of this grey grindstone. The power of the medium grade profound level weapon was far superior to that of low-grade profound level weapons.

“Die!” Chu Yuan’s mouth curled to form a cold smile. The heritage of the Ghost Lair was not something an ancient martial art practitioner could compare to. With the help of the Profundity Shattering Grindstone, he could easily kill Mo Wen.

The Profundity Shattering Grindstone released a grey light, disappearing from its original spot and immediately reappearing on top of Mo Wen’s head.

The grey grindstone turned and a terrifying tearing force descended on Mo Wen. The force seemed to want to directly tear Mo Wen into pieces.

The mountain and river painting flew out from Mo Wen’s sleeves, transforming into illusionary mountains and enveloping Mo Wen within.

The grey grindstone crashed onto the illusionary mountains. A power without equal immediately exploded. The illusionary mountains kept trembling, seemingly about to collapse at any moment. But Mo Wen’s body emanated an aura of astonishing power. His imposing manner was heightened to the extreme in an instant, far surpassing ordinary pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners.

The illusionary mountains stabilized. No matter how many times the Profundity Shattering Grindstone collided with them, they showed no signs of collapsing.

“If your cultivation is no good, what use is it then even if your treasure is more powerful?” Mo Wen said with a cold smile.

His current cultivation had already far surpassed Chu Yuan’s. It had even surpassed Nangong Mingzhu’s. He was infinitesimally approaching the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

“You...”

Chu Yuan’s expression changed greatly. His eyes were wide open. He had never expected that Mo Wen’s cultivation would increase so much, far surpassing his previous level several times over.

How was it possible?

Could it be that on this Beast King Island, he could still increase his cultivation? Only by killing monstrous beasts could they increase their cultivation. But on Beast King Island, all the beasts were Beast Kings. It was unusual to have the opportunity to kill such terrifying monstrous beasts.

To increase his cultivation to this extent was not possible by killing just one Beast King.

Mo Wen’s body lit up with golden light. The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani appeared. His aura once again skyrocketed. His powerful Inner Qi caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

But it did not stop there. The next moment, Mo Wen’s body suddenly surged with bolts of lightning.

With the Glory of Thunder, his aura doubled once again! Mo Wen’s aura right now was already no weaker than a Martial Arts Grandmaster’s.

Even the Wyvern Beast King that was floating nearby exclaimed in interest. He looked at Mo Wen with a degree of surprise.

Chu Yuan’s expression turned even uglier.

“Let me borrow the words of the Wyvern Beast King and say to you: when faced with absolute power, any resistance is futile.”

A golden silhouette furiously burst out from the illusionary mountains. With a dash, it appeared before the huge grey grindstone. The Blood Clotting Claw appeared and sent out a punch, sending the Profundity Shattering Grindstone flying backward.

Although the Profundity Shattering Grindstone was a medium grade profound level weapon, Mo Wen’s cultivation held an absolute advantage. Together with the power of the profound level weapon, the Blood-Clotting Claw, it suppressed Chu Yuan like Mo Wen was tearing away a withered stump.

After sending the Profundity Shattering Grindstone flying, Mo Wen’s silhouette once again disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared again near Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan’s expression shifted drastically. A black light flashed and a ceremonial staff appeared in his hand. Circles of black light spread outwards. Wall after wall of white bone shields appeared before him.

However, with just one punch, Mo Wen shattered them all.

Ptui!

The terrifying power penetrated the white bone shields, crashing straight into Chu Yuan’s body. It sent him flying backward. He turned as white as a sheet and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The body of an immortal cultivator couldn’t compare with that of an ancient martial art practitioner. Although Chu Yuan’s cultivation was high, his ability to withstand attacks was very weak. In an instant, he was severely injured.
