Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Three Bows from the Corpse Deity!” When Shi Tian You’s low and husky voice resounded in the area, the entire land seemed to darken. The howls of the dead echoed in the sky, making everyone uneasy.
Mu Chen looked very solemn. He stayed extremely alert against Shi Tian You. He could feel the death aura from the series of Shi Tian You’s attacks. If Mu Chen made any mistakes, he was afraid he might perish in this place.
“The Extraterritorial Race is indeed freaky and unpredictable.” Mu Chen took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands. Violet radiance gathered on the enormous Immortal Golden Body while Ancient God Runes quickly surfaced on its skin. All these God Runes detached from the Immortal Golden Body and hovered around it like Violet God Dragons exuding immortal mightiness.
All the attention in the land was focused on the altar. Everyone knew very well that this fight might be the deciding factor of the entire battle.
Shi Tian You’s pale eyes stared at Mu Chen in a freaky and evil way. A cruel smile formed at the corners of his lips. He bent his body forward and bowed down to where Mu Chen was standing.
“Three Bows from the Corpse Deity, First Bow of Life Devouring!” As Shi Tian You lowered his head and knelt, the gigantic figure that looked like a Corpse Deity also lowered itself and bowed down to Mu Chen.
The moment it lowered its forehead, an indescribable death aura swept out like a windstorm. All the vitality was taken by force in the areas where the death aura passed through. Heaven and earth lost their colors and became dark gray as if they were encountering death.
All the powerhouses from the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race began to step back. When they saw the overwhelming death aura, their eyes were filled with fear and shock. Some of the people who were slow to flee were touched by the death aura. Before they could cry out, their bodies withered into bones.
Qing Shuang and Qing Ling quickly staggered back. They exchanged shocked gazes, as they had not expected the assault from Shi Tian You to be so daunting. This kind of attack was on par with an authentic Rare Super Power in the Great Thousand World!
They looked in Mu Chen’s direction. Worries flashed in their eyes. The death aura’s overspill had already pushed them into an embarrassing state, yet Mu Chen was right in the middle of it. They could imagine the daunting oppression he was currently experiencing.
“Mu Chen, go for it!” At this point, they could only pray for him in their hearts.
While the various top powers were evading the death aura sweeping in, it appeared in front of Mu Chen almost immediately. The death aura loomed over Mu Chen, and Mu Chen’s skin started to turn ash-white at a visible speed. His flesh and blood began to shrivel, and the vitality in his body was dissipating quickly. No matter how much spiritual energy he circulated to protect his body, he could not stop the death aura from eating into him.
Mu Chen was looking extremely solemn. At this rate, it would only take a couple of minutes before his body shriveled and turned into a pile of bones. Shi Tian You’s offense was quite oppressive and freaky.
Phew.
At the most crucial moment, Mu Chen took a deep breath. The spiritual light flickered in his eyes, and he let out a roar towards the sky. The Immortal Golden Body under him burst into violet radiance. “You have the Corpse Deity for devouring life, I have my Immortal Protection!”
The Immortal God Runes suspended around him swept in and surrounded Mu Chen. From a distance, it seemed like a violet shield had protected Mu Chen within it. Even if heaven and earth were destroyed, the Immortal Energy would remain eternally! How could someone take away Immortal Vitality?
The ash-white death aura charged at the violet shield without stopping, yet the Immortal Light remained strong like a rock.
“He blocked it!” The Balrog Commander and the rest of the powerhouses could not help but exclaim in horror when they saw this. They knew very well how devastating this move was. The vitality of any top powers under the Demon Emperor would be taken away, and they would be reduced to bones immediately after the Corpse Deity bowed to them.
Anyone receiving this bow would be dead meat for sure, no matter who it was! However, Mu Chen endured the death bow. They could not believe it. While their expressions changed, Shi Tian You narrowed his eyes. Apparently, the result was also beyond his expectations. Initially, he thought that the first bow would suffice to end this battle. Yet, Mu Chen’s determination was beyond his imagination.
“Troublesome fellow. You must die today!” Cold radiance gathered within Shi Tian You’s eyes. The next moment, his body shriveled even more. Even his hair began to turn white. The vitality in his body was injected non-stop into the gigantic figure which was exuding daunting corpse gas.
“Second Bow of Mind Devouring!” With eyes full of coldness, Shi Tian You lifted his head and lowered it again. He bowed again to Mu Chen. The gigantic figure full of corpse gas did the same by lowering its head. At the same time, a beam of gray light about a foot long shot out from the figure’s eyes. The beam of gray light pierced through space and appeared before Mu Chen.
Mu Chen put together all his might for this blow and let out a long roar. The Immortal God Runes blasted off insanely around him. They merged and stacked upon each other, strengthening the shield to defend against that beam of gray light before him.
The beam of gray light did not seem to have the same momentum as before, but the death aura was even more intense than ever. He had no doubt that he would die immediately if that beam of gray light touched him in the slightest.
Sstz!
However, this time, many Immortal God Runes were destroyed the moment they came in contact with that beam of gray light. The defense that looked mighty at first was, in fact, vulnerable.
Mu Chen began to charge backwards. The Immortal God Runes continued to refine and gather insanely on the Immortal Golden Body. They charged towards the beam of gray light one after another, trying to deplete its force. Yet, even the craziest interdiction from Mu Chen could not reduce that gray light’s speed at all!
“Blazing Fire Array!” The spiritual array he had prepared earlier on was triggered again. The large flaming figure appeared in the array, but as its punch just touched the beam of gray light, it let out a cry and collapsed immediately.
The various powerhouses around the altar from the Great Thousand World paled as they saw that Mu Chen was unable to stop the beam of gray light regardless of what means he displayed.
“Mu Chen!” Qing Shuang and Qing Ling could not help but hold their hands tightly. Their faces were pale.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Mu Chen continued to quickly retreat, but the beam of gray light followed, and it even became faster. All his hair stood on end as the death aura loomed over him. He could no longer retreat! Radiance flickered madly in Mu Chen’s eyes. The next moment, he roared out, “Holy Pagoda!” Holy light exploded from his pupils, and a crystal-clear pagoda shot out from the light.
Sstz!
Mu Chen bit his tongue and spat a few mouthfuls of blood on the pagoda without hesitation. As he did this, his handsome face paled. Obviously, this action caused great damage to him, too.
However, he could not care anymore. He felt that the beam of gray light possessed a creepy power that could destroy one’s consciousness instantly. Once he came into contact with it, his consciousness would be immediately terminated. Even though he might not suffer any injuries on the outside, he would be turned into a puppet.
The Holy Pagoda had the power of sealing as well as the effect of stabilizing the mind, so all he could do was rely on it!
As Mu Chen spit his blood on the Holy Pagoda, endless brightness instantly exploded. A holy fluctuation soared towards the sky. The Holy Pagoda charged out and collided with the beam of gray light.
Ding dang!
A crisp, clear sound was heard as they collided. However, the previously unstoppable gray light was finally stopped this time. During the impact, the gray light vibrated and burst into pieces.
The Holy Pagoda also seemed to have a damaging impact. It flew back straight into Mu Chen’s eyes. Fresh blood began to drip from the corners of his eyes, and he looked extremely frightening.
“He blocked it again…” The Balrog Commander and the rest of the powerhouses around the altar swallowed. Fear was in their eyes when they looked at Mu Chen.
Three Bows from the Corpse Deity – The first was the Bow of Life Devouring, and the second was the Bow of Mind Devouring. None of the powerhouses under the Demon Emperor could survive those two bows. At least, they had never heard of anyone surviving them. Yet, it happened right before them.
On the altar, Mu Chen slowly wiped away the fresh blood dripping from the corners of his eyes. He had never been so serious before. He had gone through countless deathmatches these past years, but none of them could make him feel that he was so close to death like this one did. The so-called Three Bows from the Corpse Deity were indeed too freaky and tyrannical.
“This is equivalent to a Rare Super Power in the Great Thousand World!” Mu Chen took a deep breath. Even though he had one of the 36 volumes of Rare Super Powers, Qi into Trinity, the black and white Mu Chens that were used to deal with the Demon Emperor Corpses were of no help to him now.
In the distance, Shi Tian You stared at Mu Chen with his pale eyes. His face twitched hard. With a husky voice, he said, “Ever since I cultivated the Corpse Deity Art, no one has ever accepted these two bows before!”
Mu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and said, “Now, you only have one.”
Shi Tian You looked deeply at Mu Chen. His body was already shriveled into bones, but his pale eyes got creepier. “As such, to show my respect for you as my opponent, I will let you die on the third bow.”
Many powerhouses felt a tremor as they heard Shi Tian You’s cold voice. Mu Chen could barely defend against the two bows earlier on. How was he going to defend against the third bow, which would be even more daunting?!
If Mu Chen failed, who else could stop Shi Tian You from destroying the altar? Even Mo Xin and Xuan Luo kept quiet after witnessing Shi Tian You’s first two bows.
However, Shi Tian You did not care about what they thought. His gaze was focused only on Mu Chen. All the flesh and blood on him melted off at this time. All of it was converted into vitality that was infused into the gigantic figure of the Corpse Deity. Shi Tian You was no different from a corpse now. He cast a look at Mu Chen before he closed his eyes, lowered his head, and bowed again!
The cold voice resounding between heaven and earth sent chills down everyone’s spines. “Three Bows from the Corpse Deity, Exterminating the World!”
