Chapter 538: Wuka’s Insanity
Jiu Shen's pristine white armor was covered in blood and had multiple cracks and holes. The left part of his armor was destroyed, exposing his bloody arm.
He had underestimated Wuka's power. The difference between a Celestial God Realm expert and a Heavenly God Realm expert couldn't be surmounted. It was already a surprise that he had managed to stand toe to toe against someone at that level.
Jiu Shen stared at the giant Wuka who was covered in deep cuts and gaping wounds. His beast-like eyes were staring at Jiu Shen with dreadful light.
They were at a standstill for a short moment and Wuka was the first to make a move. He released a torrent of heavy blows that rendered the skies. Even in his injured state, he still managed to attack with raging momentum.
Jiu Shen calmly parried the punches and kicks with his sword to reduce the overall damage. However, his arms felt numb at Wuka's fearless onslaught.
Bang!
Bang!
They left afterimages in midair and massive explosions echoed whenever their attacks met.
No one dared to move closer to them, afraid that they would be killed by the after-effects of their clashes.
Jiu Shen intentionally revealed a gap in his defense as he fought with Wuka. The latter immediately saw this and he didn't notice that anything was amiss. He thought that the human had finally grown tired after fighting a prolonged battle against him.
'Chance!' Wuka roared in his heart as he unleashed his claws, intending to cut the hateful human's body into shreds.
Seeing this, Jiu Shen summoned his remaining true essence and anma to stab his sword at the beast's chest.
Light gathered at the tip of Jiu Shen's sword, emanating a daunting aura.
Wuka swiped his claws, causing dozens of deep gashes on Jiu Shen's body, but the latter simply ignored the pain and gritted his teeth as he pushed his sword, stabbing Wuka's chest as if skewering meat!
Puchi!
The devastating blow punctured a hole in the High Chieftain's chest!
Jiu Shen summoned his spiritual power, manifesting a huge black flame that covered his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword.
Aaahhh!!!
Wuka shrieked loudly as his body was enveloped by a fearsome dark flame. He lowered his head and grabbed the sword stabbed at his chest with both hands. He disregarded the sharp excruciating pain and tried to pull put the sword out.
Seeing this, Jiu Shen swung his sword, slicing the upper portion of Wuka's gigantic body! His lower body dropped to the ground.
Roar!!
Wuka let out a deranged look as he extended his burned hands, grabbing Jiu Shen's shoulders. He then opened his mouth in an attempt to bite a huge chunk of Jiu Shen's meat!
Jiu Shen was agitated when he saw Wuka's final attack. He wanted to drag Jiu Shen to death with him!
He lifted his sword and fiercely swung it, but it only managed to cut Wuka's arms. The frenzied beast still managed to bite down hard on Jiu Shen's chest!
A large portion of Jiu Shen's torso was torn apart, exposing his bones and internal organs!
Jiu Shen groaned as he kicked the head of the insane High Chieftain.
Bang!
The light in Wuka's eyes dimmed, but there was a nasty smile on his lips.
Ding!
Mission Complete!

Jiu Shen heard the system's notification ringing inside his head.
"That bastard is finally dead!" He gritted his teeth as he took out a healing panacea from his space earring. The bleeding stopped, but his body was not regenerating. He had lost too much anma and he even emptied his true essence. It would take time for him to recover his injuries this time.

Jian Wang led the allied army in fighting the Infernals. With his timely commands, the allied army managed to push back the billion-strong army of the Infernals. However, if this continued, the soldiers would slowly collapse from exhaustion. It was only a matter of time before they would be defeated.
Suddenly, Jian Wang's eyes narrowed as he lifted his head. He sensed that Wuka's powerful aura had disappeared. He then noticed a decapitated lower body plunging towards a tall sand dune.
From the strong energy coming from the decapitated lower body, Jian Wang was certain that it was Wuka's! "He won..." He muttered with a smile.
He then swept his gaze towards the struggling allied army and shouted with an invigorating voice. "Jiu Shen has slain the Celestial Emperor of the Infernals!"
The allied army was stunned when they heard Jian Wang's words.
Jiu Shen killed the High Chieftain of the Infernals? The beast that destroyed tens of thousands of Array Formations in just one blow?
The morale of the soldiers rose after hearing about the death of the Infernal High Chieftain.
"Die, filthy barbarians!"
"Kill!!"
Jiu Shen's victory spurred everyone to unleash their greatest power. They were relieved that the strongest threat was finally dead.
The Infernals also sensed the death of their High Chieftain, but instead of retreating, they charged at their enemies with crazed expressions.
ROOAR!!
ROOAR!!

"What a mess! To think that those guys actually managed to hold back an army of billions. However, their effort would still be futile even if Jian Wang is with them. They would be overwhelmed by the number of Infernals and die of exhaustion."
"Indeed. Why did they even choose to protect this place? This is just a barren land with no natural resources."
"In the end, they would still need the help of our Celestial Paragon Tower to clean up the remaining Infernals."
A huge group of people dressed in flashy armors discussed in mocking tones as they spectated the brutal war between the allied army and the Infernals.
Leading them were Telu and Valir, the highest leaders of the Celestial Paragon Tower.
Their chattering and contemptuous laughter suddenly ceased when they heard a loud voice.
"Jiu Shen has slain the Celestial Emperor of the Infernals!"
