“Three Bows of Corpse Deity, Exterminating the World!” When the cold voice of Shi Tianyou echoed out, the entire land seemed to freeze at once.
The howling of the wind stopped. The circulation of the spiritual energy between the Heaven and Earth halted. Even the sound of voices extinguished at this point.
The gigantic death figure behind Shi Tianyou lowered its head and bowed. The moment its head hung down, the vast space burst into pieces, sending fragments falling from the sky like a rainstorm.
The ground below them had endless cracks in it, which spread out in all different directions. They looked like gorges.
All of the powerhouses fled crazily from the region, unconcealable fear filling their faces. They could never have imagined how daunting the mightiness of that third bow would be!
Qing Shuang and Qing Ling were among this fleeing crowd. They looked at the lonely faraway altar with their pale faces.
Upon that altar, Mu Chen looked even more lonely and helpless. While everyone was leaving, he was the only one who stood firm against the incoming exterminating wave.
Qing Shuang and Qing Ling wanted to help Mu Chen, but they knew that, given their limited abilities, they could not interfere in this battle. Likewise, even Mo Xin and Xuan Luo did not dare intervene either.
After all, the battle between Mu Chen and Shi Tianyou was almost close to the Heavenly Sovereign level! Even though Mo Xin and Xuan Luo were top-notch Complete Sovereigns who had both cultivated a Quasi-Rare Super Power, that power was still far from the Three Bows of Corpse Deity’s power.
The only way to counter Shi Tianyou’s three bows was to display the true Rare Super Power! However, the true Rare Super Power was a means of a Heavenly Sovereign. Even though they were talented, they could not manage to cultivate it.
As Mo Xin and Xuan Luo were leaving the battlefield, they exchanged gazes with each other from far. Intense wariness and killing intent flashed in their eyes.
They had underestimated the strength of Mu Chen. Initially, they thought that it would be easy to capture Mu Chen, but judging from the combat power that he displayed, they had been too naïve.
“In any case, that fellow will be dead for sure, and Shi Tianyou will consume much of his energy to display the Three Bows of Corpse Deity. At that time, we can sneak up on them and round them up in one go!” Mo Xin transmitted the intention to Xuan Luo.
Radiance flickered in both of their eyes as they formed an agreement without a sound. Apparently, after witnessing Mu Chen’s strength, neither of them had the confidence to deal with him alone. Hence, it would be safer for them to do it together.
While the powerhouses from both parties retreated, Mu Chen was under an overwhelming oppression. Everywhere around him was in total darkness. It was as if he was in a death zone.
Even the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth was like a pool of dead water. No matter how hard he tried, he could not retrieve it for his use. As he gazed upon the collapsed space, the darkened land, and the frozen spiritual energy, it really seemed like the world was coming to an end.
When Mu Chen was looking solemn, a black windstorm that exuded a stench that smelled like rotting corpses swept out between Heaven and Earth. As the black corpse wind passed through, no lives were spared. Any living beings were immediately extinguished by it.
As Mu Chen stood on top of the Immortal Golden Body, he looked at the black corpse wind that was sweeping over from all directions. He sensed the exterminating aura that the corpse wind contained.
As he held his palms together tightly, the veins on his arms kept twitching. Mu Chen had to admit that the third bow of Shi Tianyou was too powerful, so much so that he was frightened by it! He had no doubt that he would die at the hands of Shi Tianyou if he made any mistakes this day.
“Since this is the last stand, I’ll have to fight with my life.” Mu Chen murmured as he took a deep breath.
His expression gradually turned peaceful, and he gradually closed his eyes. At the same time, he opened both of his hands, and the Immortal Golden Body that was under him suddenly exploded into a violet radiance. Each beam of radiance seemed to contain an immortal aura.
The overspreading black corpse wind continued to sweep in. Only a large violet figure stood there quietly and firmly, like a mountain in the darkness.
When the black corpse wind was about to envelop him, a low murmur came from Mu Chen’s mouth, “Immortal Super Power, the Immortal Golden Lotus!”
Weng!
Millions of beams of violet radiance exploded out at that moment. Within the radiance, a large purple lotus slowly appeared.
Ancient runes were engraved on each of its petals, and every rune was filled with the aura of nature. That lotus seemed to have been created in Heaven!
As the purple lotus rotated, its petals quickly closed up. By the time the black corpse wind had enveloped Mu Chen completely, the huge purple lotus had already covered the Immortal Golden Body.
Sstz!
The next moment, the black corpse wind devoured the entire lotus. Instantly, the land was in total darkness.
Back in the faraway land, both parties had retreated to the borderline of the darkness. They looked back at the dark world with fear, as no vitality existed within it.
Many of the powerhouses from the Great Thousand World looked paled and despairing. They no longer had the courage to fight once they saw the mighty Shi Tianyou.
“That lad is dead now!” The Balrog Commander said with some fear.
No one had thought that a mere Upper Earthly Sovereign could be such a difficult opponent that even the mighty Shi Tianyou would be forced to use the third bow of the Corpse Deity! But, when Shi Tianyou had displayed his third bow, they knew that Mu Chen would surely die. After all, no one ever survived the third bow of the Corpse Deity!
“Sister Qing Shuang, Mu Chen…How is he?” Qing Ling could not help but hold Qing Shuang’s hands tightly as she asked anxiously.
Qing Shuang shook her head quietly. The greyness in her beautiful eyes revealed her intense uneasiness. Even she could not believe that Mu Chen could survive the exterminating third bow of Shi Tianyou.
“Get ready to leave,” Qing Shuang spoke in a low voice.
If Mu Chen perished, they would lose all of their chances of escape. Hence, they must leave the Four Sacred Towers as quickly as possible. With the help of the amulet that they had been given by the elders in their clan, they could leave the Ancient Holy Gulf.
Qing Ling paled when she heard this. But, just when the powerhouses in the Great Thousand World were feeling low in morale, someone exclaimed, “There’s a golden light over there!”
All of them looked up at the same time, then stared hard at that dark land. Unbelievably, they saw that a violet radiance had gathered.
As they continued watching, the violet radiance became brighter. After a short while, a golden light exploded out of it.
This time, all of them had a clear line of sight. They saw that a purple lotus was standing quietly within the land of darkness. Traces of ruins could be seen on the surface of the flower.
Weng!
As a purple radiance exploded from the flower, it gradually brightened up the land of darkness. At the same time, the lotus petals slowly opened and a large, golden shadow appeared before everyone. On the shoulder of that large shadow stood a slender figure.
“That’s Mu Chen!” someone shouted.
The powerhouses in the Great Thousand World were dumbfounded. Disbelief filled all of their eyes.
The Balrog Commander, the powerhouse from the Demon Blade Clan, and the rest of the Extraterritorial Race were all looking at that figure. They were completely horrified.
“How could it be possible?!” they all mumbled in unison.
“How could it be possible?” Mo Xin and Xuan Luo were also stunned.
“How could it be possible?” Shi Tianyou, who only had his bones left, was even looking dumbfoundedly at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen opened his eyes slowly and looked at the world that was immersed in the golden radiance. At this time, his tensed-up body slowly relaxed.
“Immortal Golden Lotus… The strongest art of defense in the Immortal Golden Body,” Mu Chen murmured as he looked down at the Immortal Golden Body.
He was equally surprised that the second Sovereign Super Power of the Immortal Golden Body had such powerful means of protection. Mu Chen lifted his head and looked at the dumbfounded Shi Tianyou on the altar.
Bang!
The huge shadow that looked like the Corpse Deity behind him seemed to have depleted all of its energy. For this reason, it eventually burst into pieces.
Sstz.
Shi Tianyou spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood that was pitch-black in color, while a death aura lingered around him. Shi Tianyou was apparently dying, as he no longer had any vitality. This was the price he had to pay for displaying the Three Bows of Corpse Deity.
“You lose.” Mu Chen stared at Shi Tianyou without any emotion. He was pleased to see that Shi Tianyou had lost all of his combat power.
Shi Tianyou’s dumbfounded eyes slowly recovered when he heard Mu Chen’s voice. He stared hard at Mu Chen, then gave him a hideous smile. “Do you think that you’ve won? Dream on!”
“Demon Emperor Corpse, explode!” he yelled.
At that moment, a beam of black light escaped from the Fighting Spirit Ocean faraway and charged over to the altar. When the beam of black light got there, the shriveled body suddenly exploded into many demon lights. Lastly, a boom was heard, and the body burst into pieces.
Mu Chen, who was far away, narrowed his eyes for a moment as he wondered…
This is insane! Why would he detonate the Demon Emperor Corpse?
