Chapter 2153: Golden Bone
"Has the battle been decided?"
"Who is the final victor?"
The crowd, having already retreated to a safe distance, anxiously directed their gaze towards the terrifying sea of fire.
Especially the five warriors of the Angel Clan, their hearts were filled with anxiety.
Because if Michael lost, it would mean their lives have also reached their end. So, they were praying in their hearts, hoping that when the fire dissipates, Michael would be the one standing last.
Although there was no change in Hades’ expression, he was also feeling a bit nervous inside.
After all, Michael was a mid-stage Creation Realm powerhouse. In a clash of titans, no matter what factors come into play during the battle, even the slightest change could tip the scales of victory.
Therefore, in the battle between Xiao Zheng and Michael, even Hades couldn’t be sure that Xiao Zheng would definitely win.
The hearts of everyone were captivated by that sea of fire.
As time passed, the terrifying sea of fire finally began to fade away, and the violent power in the air was gradually calming down.
Feeling the change in the elemental energy of heaven and earth, everyone’s hearts involuntarily tensed up.
Because everyone knew that with the disappearance of the sea of fire, the battle would soon be decided. And the outcome would directly determine the life or death of one side, so no one dared to relax.
As the sea of fire vanished, some laughed, while others cried.
Xiao Zheng stood proudly in the void, while in his right hand, he held Michael, whose body was covered in bloodstains.
Xiao Zheng won!
The five remaining angel clan warriors, upon seeing this scene, had deep despair in their eyes.
When they saw Xiao Zheng walking out of the sea of fire, their last glimmer of hope was shattered. Moreover, Xiao Zheng’s fighting power was terrifying to them.
Even though Michael fought desperately, he couldn’t injure Xiao Zheng.
Such an overwhelming power was simply despair-inducing.
"Let’s finish off the rest of these people, then we can rest."
Xiao Zheng looked at Hades a short distance away and said with a smile.
Upon hearing his words, the five from the Angel Clan turned and fled without the slightest hesitation. Moreover, they were so coordinated that they fled in different directions.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh and said, "You think you can escape? If you fall into my hands, do you think you can escape?"
With a thought, his four avatars moved instantly.
Hades also mimicked him, starting to command his own avatars into battle.
The five from the Angel Clan hadn’t even fled a thousand meters when they were caught by the avatars of the two. Then, their limbs were broken and they were brought back to their side.
"These six people are the perfect material for crafting Soul Holy Stones," Xiao Zheng said as he held Michael, "Hades, it seems you have a good chance of surpassing me in realm."
Hades said nothing in response, but she was indeed tempted in her heart.
After all, she had used Soul Holy Stones many times before. Unlike Golden Bone, while it didn’t have aftereffects or side effects, it did cause the body to develop antibodies.
In other words, the more it was used, the weaker the effect of the Soul Holy Stone.
If Hades still wanted to use the Soul Holy Stone to break through, she would need a large amount or high-quality Soul Holy Stones. Michael’s cultivation was mid-stage Creation Realm, and the prisoners in the Dungeon and the five angels they just caught were all in the Transcendent Realm.
If all these people were refined into Soul Holy Stones, their quality would undoubtedly be high.
If Hades were to devour all these Soul Holy Stones, her realm could very likely surpass Xiao Zheng’s. She might even break through to the fearsome Blood and Flesh Derivation Realm!
The Blood and Flesh Derivation Realm is a realm above the Creation Avatar Realm, reaching this realm allows one to have an Undying Body in the true sense. Even if an enemy kills them down to a single drop of blood, they can come back to life.
If Hades could truly break through to this realm, the Ancient Clan crisis would be nothing.
"Let’s go, there’s not much time for you to ponder now."
"Since they delivered themselves to you, accept this great gift."
Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said with a smile.
Hades then made no further hesitation, nodded, and led the captives back to the Temple. After handing all the captives over to Hades, Xiao Zheng returned to the quiet chamber to begin his cultivation.
After all, the method for crafting Soul Holy Stones is a secret technique unique to the Blood Clan. Even though he was on good terms with Hades, it wasn’t appropriate for him to watch from the sidelines.
After a day and night of cultivation, Xiao Zheng’s aura was restored to its peak once more.
Although he wasn’t injured in the battle with Michael, his internal elemental energy had been significantly depleted. However, after this cultivation, the previous deficit was completely replenished.
When Xiao Zheng stepped out of his quiet chamber, feeling the sun high in the sky, he couldn’t help but feel refreshed.
Stretching lazily, he muttered to himself, "I wonder how Hades is doing. With so much time passed, she should be done by now, right?"
While speaking, he decided to go and find out.
Upon entering the Temple, he immediately saw Hades sitting on the Divine Throne: "It seems you’ve already crafted those people into Soul Holy Stones. Congratulations, it looks like your realm will soon surpass mine."
"By the way, why haven’t you gone into seclusion? Are you waiting for me?"
Hades nodded and said, "Indeed, I was waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng was immediately filled with curiosity: "Were you really waiting for me? Why?"
"Take a look at this." As Hades spoke, she reached into her pocket.
Xiao Zheng watched her actions curiously, unaware of what she intended to do.
However, when Hades withdrew her hand from her pocket, Xiao Zheng was stunned to see that she was holding two pieces of Golden Bone in her palm!
After an indeterminate amount of time, Xiao Zheng finally snapped back to reality, inhaled sharply, and asked, "How do you have two pieces of Golden Bone on you? Where did you get them?"
Hades replied, "I found these two pieces of Golden Bone on Michael. He always kept two pieces of Golden Bone with him, but you never noticed."
So that’s how it was!
Xiao Zheng finally understood, and couldn’t help but gratefully say, "It’s a good thing you were attentive, or else I would have said goodbye to these two pieces of Golden Bone!"
After a brief pause, he excitedly said, "Michael truly gave us a big gift. It seems not only will you breakthrough, but I am also about to break through!"
Xiao Zheng looked at the two pieces of Golden Bone in Hades’ hand, his eyes filled with delight.
