Chapter 111: The Third Battle Against the White Bone Demon
Chapter 112 The Three Battles with the White Bone Demon
The wolf demon devoured the maid's flesh and blood, which contained celestial energy, and then spat out a pile of stark white bones, which it carelessly discarded in this desolate mountain called White Tiger Ridge.
As time passed, this skeleton, imbued with both divine energy and endless resentment, absorbed the essence of the sun and moon day and night in this extremely yin land, eventually giving birth to a new intelligence and transforming into a demon that entrenched itself in the area: the White Bone Demon.
The scene abruptly ends there.
Fan Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his heart filled with a surging storm.
"That's impossible!"
He stared at the empty space before him, his mind racing.
As a time traveler familiar with the plot of "Journey to the West," he clearly knew the cause and effect between Kui Mulang and the maid of Pixiang Palace.
In the original story, Kui Mulang descended to the mortal realm and transformed into the Yellow Robe Monster because of his love for a maid in the Pixiang Palace. The maid was reincarnated as Princess Baihuaxiu, the third princess of Baoxiang Kingdom, and was subsequently kidnapped by the Yellow Robe Monster, where they lived as husband and wife for thirteen years.
This is the plot after the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West!
But now, these fragments of memory tell him that the maid of Pixiang Palace was not reincarnated at all. After she descended to the mortal realm, she was found by Kui Mulang and swallowed alive!
The remaining skeleton has become the White Bone Demon!
"If the maidservants of Pixiang Palace died at White Tiger Ridge and turned into the White Bone Demon—"
Fan Yuan took a deep breath, feeling a chill run down his spine. "And who is Princess Baihuaxiu of Baoxiang Kingdom?"
He was an ordinary person with no connection to Kui Mulang, who used him as a substitute.
Was it a staged performance deliberately arranged to complete the eighty-one tribulations of Journey to the West?
Fan Yuan didn't know the answer, but perhaps he could make plans in the Wave Moon Cave of Wanzishan Mountain, which was the cave of the Yellow Robe Monster, who was actually Kui Mulang. "Whoosh—"
Fan Yuan forcibly suppressed the shock and distracting thoughts in his heart, burying this earth-shattering secret deep within his soul.
His current strength is too weak; trying to investigate the Heavenly Court's schemes would be tantamount to suicide.
The most urgent objective right now is to learn the White Bone Demon's method of corpse dissolution.
"It's almost time."
Fan Yuan raised his head and looked towards White Tiger Ridge, a hundred miles away.
Tang Sanzang and his disciples have already entered this deadly land. The White Bone Demon, in order to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, is about to begin her famous three-battle drama.
"This is the last time, we must fleece them all."
Fan Yuan took out the last few precious spiritual materials from his storage bag and mixed them with his essence blood to integrate them into the [Primordial Myriad Appearances Mirror] in his sea of consciousness.
This time, he did not create those cannon fodder characters from the early stages of Qi Refining.
After suffering repeated losses, the White Bone Demon must have become suspicious. However, when she was trying to deceive Tang Sanzang, she was forced by circumstances to unleash her complete corpse-dissolving technique without reservation under the monkey's staff.
At that time, if this clone were to be secretly revealed again to get a full view of it, perhaps it would be possible to succeed. Fan Yuan was certain that this time, the method would be revealed!
[Primordial Mirror of All Forms] A great light shone forth, and a brand new avatar was formed.
This clone had a cold and stern face, wore a black outfit, and had reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Its blood and qi surged like a dragon within its body.
"Go."
Fan Yuan issued the order.
Without uttering a word, the black-clad clone turned and fled from the cave, transforming into a blur as it headed straight for White Tiger Ridge.
Baihu Ridge is nestled among towering mountains.
Tang Sanzang sat on his white horse, feeling hungry. Sun Wukong drew a circle, in which his master and fellow disciples stayed, while he himself somersaulted to Nanshan to beg for alms and pick peaches.
All of this was clearly seen by the White Bone Demon, who was hiding in the shadows.
"The reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a virtuous person who has cultivated for ten lifetimes. Eating a piece of his flesh will grant you immortality!"
Greed gleamed in the White Bone Demon's eyes. She transformed herself into a beautiful village girl, carrying a blue clay pot in her left hand and a green porcelain bottle in her right. Inside were several toads and snakes disguised as fragrant rice and fried gluten, which she then walked straight toward Tang Sanzang.
-
Pigsy was envious, and Tang Sanzang, being kind-hearted, was about to accept the food.
In mid-air, a golden light streaked in.
When Sun Wukong returned from begging for alms, his fiery eyes scanned the village girl and instantly saw through her evil nature.
"You audacious fiend, how dare you deceive my master!"
Without a word, Sun Wukong drew his Ruyi Jingu Bang and struck him on the head.
This strike carried the terrifying pressure and boundless killing intent of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The White Bone Demon was horrified. She never expected that this monkey would be so bloodthirsty, attacking without even asking any questions.
At the critical moment, she bit her tongue hard, activating her innate divine power.
"The method of dissecting a corpse!"
boom!
The golden cudgel fell, and the village girl's brains splattered out; she collapsed in a pool of blood.
However, it was just a fake corpse that had been peeled off. The true spirit of the White Bone Demon had already turned into a gust of cold wind, discarded its physical form, and vanished into the sky.
Upon seeing this, Tang Sanzang repeatedly chanted the Tightening-Headband Mantra, blaming Wukong for hurting people without cause. Bajie, standing by, fanned the flames, saying that the monkey had used a trick to deliberately kill a respectable woman.
Mid-air, the White Bone Demon was still in shock.
"What a powerful monkey! That blow almost shattered my soul!"
But the temptation of immortality was too great, and she was unwilling to give up. After a moment's thought, she descended from the clouds again and transformed into an eighty-year-old woman, leaning on a cane, weeping as she approached Tang Sanzang, saying that she had come to find her daughter who had been beaten to death.
"Master, that's a demon!" Sun Wukong's fiery eyes spotted it once again.
"Nonsense! There aren't that many demons!" Tang Sanzang roared in anger.
Sun Wukong ignored them all. He knew the principle of eradicating evil completely. He raised his golden cudgel again, with even greater force than before, and smashed it down on the old woman's head.
boom!
The old woman fell to the ground with a thud.
This time, the residual power of the golden cudgel directly struck the White Bone Demon's true spirit, which had not yet completely departed.
"what!"
The White Bone Demon let out a piercing scream.
Although her corpse-dissolving technique was activated again, leaving behind a fake corpse, her primordial spirit was severely injured by the energy of the golden cudgel and could no longer stay in the air. She turned into an extremely weak, pale stream of light and frantically fled back to the Corpse Demon Cave.
Corpse Demon Cave.
The black-clad clone controlled by Fan Yuan was quietly lurking not far from the cave entrance.
Suddenly, a strong, eerie wind swept through the cave.
A tattered, skeletal silhouette stumbled and crashed heavily into the cave entrance.
It was the White Bone Demon who had escaped with severe injuries!
At this moment, her bones were covered with fine cracks, and the once eerie green will-o'-the-wisp had dimmed to an extreme degree, as if—
It could go out at any time.
She didn't even have time to enter the cave. In order to save her life, she had to immediately push the corpse-dissolving technique to an unprecedented limit in order to reunite the scattered yin energy and stabilize her collapsing primordial spirit.
hum!
The spine of the White Bone Demon burst forth with a blinding, pale light.
The spiritual energy flowed upwards along the bone marrow, and the yin and yang energies converged wildly between the skull and pelvis, forming a perfect closed loop.
"Now!"
The black-clad clone, hidden in the shadows, opened his eyes wide, staring at every trajectory of the flowing spiritual light.
Peeling off the skin, separating from the bones, astral projection, shedding the cicada's shell, and reshaping through the gathering of yin energy —
The entire logical loop of the [Corpse Dissection Method] is now completely complete!
