Chapter 907: The Immortal Bone God
```
This person looked like he was on the verge of falling apart, an image of old age and decay, but the power hidden within his body seemed more terrifying than any of those who had appeared before; with a saber in hand, he could split the heavens.
Clearly, he was an ancient monster from within the God's Tomb.
However, Chu Yuan could also see that this person could not unleash his strongest power, for if he did, his immortal foundation would sustain heavy damage, perhaps even leading to his demise.
"He has appeared," the old Taoist muttered to himself. "But why bother with this muddy water? To be kind to others is to be kind to oneself. Look at me—I've lived through countless cosmic cycles using this method."
The appearance of this person brought both respect and fear to the faces of Xue Wujiang and the old swordsman.
"Saber Lord, your intervention was perfect!" exclaimed Xue Wujiang.
"What 'Saber Lord'? Just a frail and aged body that can barely manifest its fighting strength, surviving on fumes within the God's Tomb. If it weren't for the commotion you stirred up, I wouldn't have awakened," the Saber Lord scoffed.
As the Saber Lord spoke, his gaze was constantly fixed on Chu Yuan, who gave him an unfathomable impression.
"The last divine embryo was taken by the War God of the Wilderness, allowing him to overcome a deadly crisis," the Saber Lord slowly said.
He continued, "Great Emperor, the divine embryo before you is like a child; it hasn't fully matured. Even if you seize it now, you won't gain the greatest benefits, and forcibly taking it would risk the wrath of the many immortals in the God's Tomb."
"I don't have the time to wait, and I don't care," Chu Yuan said firmly.
Chu Yuan certainly realized that the divine embryo had not yet reached its perfect state, and he did not have the time to wait.
"Fine!"
As the Saber Lord spoke, he slashed out with his saber once again. A brilliant blade light swept out, shocking past, present, and future, exuding an unstoppable and tyrannical dominance.
His hunched and aged body suddenly straightened, regaining a powerful stance. The terrifying intent of his saber could even cleave immortals in two.
"That's the Saber Lord's Berserker Slash! The Saber Lord once used this slash to cleave through immortals, proving his Dao," Xue Wujiang and the others exclaimed in astonishment.
Even in his current state, a shadow of his former self, the Saber Lord's slash remained terrifying.
"Berserker Slash?"
The Saber Lord's slash was domineering, but Chu Yuan was even more so. His sword thrust forth, carrying the will of the Emperor, shaking the heavens. Two equally overpowering forces collided fiercely in the void, then vanished simultaneously, neither able to overcome the other.
"The will of the Emperor!"
The Saber Lord's eyes shone brilliantly.
"Even the Saber Lord's slash couldn't shake him!"
They exclaimed in shock.
Meanwhile, the engulfing black hole had completed its envelopment; boundless blood-qi was refined into Chu Yuan's body. The Saber Lord originally intended to strike again, but feeling Chu Yuan's aura climbing steadily, he ultimately shook his head, let his saber dim, and refrained from attacking again.
The divine embryo was swallowed and disappeared.
In front of the Saber Lord and the others, Chu Yuan left the God's Tomb directly.
"This God's Tomb is not simple; it's quite peculiar!"
Chu Yuan remarked as he left, looking back at the God's Tomb.
"Saber Lord, are you really going to let him take the divine embryo and just leave?"
Xue Wujiang was extremely unwilling to accept this; whenever the divine embryo fully condensed, all the immortals of the God's Tomb would draw from its blood-qi together. The last divine embryo had already been taken by the War God of the Wilderness, and this time it was directly taken away by the Emperor of the Divine Martial Empire.
"If we don't let him take it, what else can we do?"
The Saber Lord replied calmly. "I can't stop him."
"But your saber has cut through immortals!"
"My saber did cut through immortals, but that was an extremely distant time. Now, my state is like a candle flickering in the wind, devoid of the madness. I can only maintain balance with the breath of the God's Tomb. Unless I fully ascend and regain my peak strength, I can't stop him."
"I am, after all, too old," said the Saber Lord.
"Saber Lord."

Blood Without Bounds and the others were disheartened.
They all knew that the Sword Sovereign had once visited the Reincarnation Catastrophe. Although he hadn't died, he was now dragging along a body on its last breaths, slumbering in the God Burial Ground.
Blood Without Bounds suddenly said, "If those few unawakened entities within the God Burial Ground were to awaken, the Divine Martial Emperor wouldn't be able to act so arrogantly. After all, the only reason the God Burial Ground can exist forever is because it is feared for harboring such terrifying entities."
"Do you want to die?"
The Sword Sovereign suddenly glared fiercely at him. "If you dare awaken those few entities over such a trivial matter, it will be your death. Even if the outside world were engulfed in a cosmic war and the era reset, as long as the God Burial Ground isn't outright flattened, disrupting the balance, they will not awaken."
Thinking of those most terrifying entities, even these few immortals trembled violently at the thought.
"Another era's cycle begins; who knows who will reach the pinnacle this time? Regrettably, with this aging body of mine, I no longer have the means to contend."
The Sword Sovereign lamented.
...
Divine Martial Empire.
After Chu Yuan seized the Divine Spirit Blood Embryo, he returned to his own empire.
The Divine Spirit Blood Embryo was a treasure, which Chu Yuan was refining.
His immortal body became more complete, and he wasn't afraid of the so-called Immortal Catastrophe. The most troublesome part was to amass enough power to convert into immortality.
"I still lack a vast amount of immortal energy, unless I hunt immortals."
Chu Yuan said with a murderous aura, "Only by killing a true immortal can I quickly replenish my energy!"
He was already planning the hunting of immortals. Immortals were hard to kill, and even the one he had slain in the Wishful Space-Time was because it couldn't escape.
Yet, no matter how difficult, Chu Yuan would have to do it. Otherwise, when would he become an immortal?
By now, he could already sense the prelude to a grand war. There was no thinking of remaining uninvolved; anyone within this universe would inevitably be swept up in it.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
On a day during the thirty-sixth year of the Divine Martial era.
Bone Wind, representing the Bone God, arrived at the Divine Martial Empire.
"Lord Bone God is assailing the Immortal Catastrophe. He had said that this time he must become an immortal, hence he is holding an Immortal Feast and inviting Your Majesty to join his banquet," Bone Wind announced a shocking piece of news.
"Oh? Bone God is about to achieve immortality? Very well, Bone God was an immortal in a previous life, with the merging of two lifetimes worth of experience, perception is not lacking. Within the Cosmic Sea, he has also seized enough resources; indeed, it's time for him to become an immortal," Chu Yuan said, genuinely happy for Bone God.
Bone God was his most steadfast ally. Once he became an immortal, even though he was not of the Empire's people, it would be of great benefit to the Divine Martial Empire.
"I have said before, the day Bone God achieves immortality, I shall personally celebrate for him and will prepare a gift. Envoy Bone Wind, I will have the empire's envoy accompany you ahead," Chu Yuan kept his promised matters naturally.
"We will follow Your Majesty's arrangements," Bone Wind had no objections.
"Bone God is very confident this time; it seems he will most certainly break through the Immortal Catastrophe. Now that he is becoming an immortal, the gift I send can't be shabby," Chu Yuan thought as he was selecting a gift and dispatching the envoy.
Just as he sent out the envoy with the selected gift,
outside the Divine Martial Empire, a massive halberd shattered the space-time and came hurtling insanely towards them.
"Bone God's Great Heaven Destruction Halberd!"
Chu Yuan immediately looked towards the Great Heaven Destruction Halberd and then ushered it in. "What happened to Bone God? Could it be that the breakthrough failed?"
"Bone God has become an immortal, but he is under siege by the Divine Vessels from the other shore, and they want to seize his master's immortal substance!"
An Artifact Spirit inhabited the Great Heaven Destruction Halberd, which was also a powerful being, and it spoke anxiously, "Critical danger! Critical danger! Critical danger! Only the Great Emperor can save the master!"
