Before Cassius could even come up with a plan, the people from both sides had already engaged in a fierce battle.
Quickly, the numerous disciples of Blood Bone Sect were slain.
They could never comprehend, even until before they died, why things had turned out this way.
Joining Blood Bone Sect was meant to enhance their cultivation and rapidly increase their strength. Yet, they’d been killed just like that.
The members of Soul Demon Sect and Lunarius Palace were invigorated, engaging in battle with great enthusiasm.
The eyes of the disciples of Soul Demon Sect were all blood-red, brimming with murderous intent. They did not give the disciples of Blood Bone Sect the slightest chance of survival.
Many of their buddies had fallen at the hands of Blood Bone Sect, and now, at last, the time for vengeance had arrived.
Jared didn’t make a move; instead, he was staring fixedly at Cassius. This time, there was no way he was going to let Cassius get away again.
Cassius’ face was ashen as he watched his disciples fall one by one. He was utterly helpless.
Now, he could only place his hopes on Gustave.
With all his strength, he shouted, “Gustave, Gustave!”
The largest bone mountain behind Blood Bone Sect began to shake violently.
Countless skeletons began to fly about chaotically, and a thick lethal intent emerged from the bone mountain.
Feeling the lethal intent, Trystan and the others ceased their actions, staring blankly.
Cassius’ face lit up with surprise and joy. “Hahaha, it’s Gustave. Gustave has left his solitary training…”
With a thunderous rumble, the bone mountain crumbled. A figure soared into the sky and then landed next to Cassius.
This individual was clad in a black python robe, his entire being shrouded in a uniquely distinctive aura.
Beneath that black robe, the individual’s body had shockingly decayed to a severe extent, emitting waves of foul stench.
Cassius pointed at Jared and the others.
“Gustave, these people have killed Rainier and destroyed Blood Bone Sect. You mustn’t let them off easily!”
“Gustave, how did you end up like this?”
Trystan stepped forward, looking at him.
“Trystan, I didn’t want to interfere. But your actions disrupted my training, causing my breakthrough to fail. You must bear this responsibility!” Gustave said coldly.
“Gustave, have you forgotten Master’s dying instructions? Look at yourself now, even if you reached Immortal Realm, it would still be difficult for you to truly ascend into immortals.”
“Stop it! I’m certain I can become immortal. I’m sure of it… You’ve destroyed Blood Bone Sect and made me fail in my attempt to break through to Ultimate Realm Level Three. I must kill you today!”
After Gustave finished speaking, his black python robe shattered into pieces. Upon seeing his decaying body and his exposed, stark white bones, everyone was taken aback.
Even Cassius, who was standing by, was completely shocked. He never expected Gustave to end up like this.
Gustave suddenly opened his mouth wide, drawing in a deep breath. The cultivators from Blood Bone Sect who had just died emitted a cloud of black mist from within their bodies, which he absorbed into his own.
“He’s actually cultivating by absorbing death energy…” Vermilion Demon Lord suddenly said.
“Death energy?” Jared was slightly stunned.
“Even in the demonic realm, very few individuals choose to cultivate using death energy. Such a method of cultivation is akin to winning with huge losses. Looks like this guy’s really hard on himself. He drains his own blood and gnaws his bones, and he even intends to absorb the last death energy within a corpse,” Vermilion Demon said in astonishment.
The rotting flesh on Gustave started to grow rapidly. Soon, black patterns started to form on his body. Two horns sprouted from the top of his head, his mouth was filled with sharp fangs, and his appearance became incredibly grotesque. He barely resembled a human anymore.
