Chapter 635: Chapter 407: Blessing of the Godslaying Weapon (Part 2)

For this reason, the awakening ritual had to succeed, because this Evil God slumbered in a city from the Old Era!

—The city shown in the earlier Illusion was an Old Era metropolis. Perhaps this Evil God, like the three Old Era Demigods who appeared in North Carolina, had been sealed within Divine War Ruins lost to history. The only difference was that It was stronger and in better condition, able to seep Its power outward in search of an opportunity to break free.

If they hadn’t used this method to lure It out of its historical seal, obtaining those eyes would have required far more time and effort. Furthermore, it would have caused certain plans to go awry.

The Star Association had clearly been waiting a long time. The moment the Evil God descended, Tang Ling appeared and dragged It into an isolated battlefield, leaving It with nowhere to run. Its only fate was to be captured alive and contained.

Hua Manzhu froze on the spot, unable to even process what had happened.

’Future Vision didn’t even see the enemy!’

’And Sinful Abyss, the Evil God who granted her this Ability, hadn’t detected the future attack either. It had been dragged into the enemy’s battlefield just like that, without any warning!’

’Their observation of the future had been disrupted!’

’Damn it!’

Hua Manzhu cursed inwardly. In a flash, she figured it out. She had plotted against Dupe, but the Star Association had plotted against her in turn.

The stalker had become the prey!

Her heart bled. Decades of planning had failed just one step from success. No one would take such a loss well.

Zhou Chen seized the opportunity and struck with his sword.

Boosted by Tang Ling’s Buff, the Power of the Sword of the End multiplied exponentially. The deathly cold light of the blade swept out, tearing through the sea of Manjushaka flowers as if they were weeds. Hua Manzhu reacted just in time, hastily dodging to narrowly avoid the blade’s light.

She had no intention of fighting Zhou Chen, instead attempting to transform into a shadow and flee.

Even with Zhou Chen’s Buff, she was confident she could escape. If a Tier Four Uncrowned was determined to flee, even several other Tier Fours wouldn’t be enough to catch them. However, she soon fell into despair. The space was sealed by layer after layer of barriers; there was no way out.

Now that the plan had succeeded, it was time for the Star Association to close their net.

A vicious glint flashed in Hua Manzhu’s eyes. With a single thought, a cluster of scarlet Manjushaka sprouted at Zhou Chen’s feet. Their roots pierced his steel body, siphoning his Essence and Life Force.

World-Burning Evil Fire surged, its pale, cold flames instantly incinerating the Manjushaka. But the wounds from the roots throbbed with excruciating pain as beams of Holy Light erupted from within, corroding his Abyssalized body. In a flash, the light shot through his entire being, bursting out in every direction. His whole body felt like a bomb on the verge of exploding.

Zhou Chen immediately deactivated his Abyssalization. The Holy Light, which targeted evil Power, ceased its assault and slowly faded away. However, dropping his Abyssalization also caused his strength to plummet. Moreover, the effects of the End Realm would now apply to him, constantly draining his Life Force.

"You’ve trapped yourself in your own web!" Hua Manzhu sneered, her hand chopping through the air like a blade in an Air Slash.

At the same time, Zhou Chen pulled a Reversal Card from thin air and slammed it onto the ground.

Attribute Reversal!

The End Realm, symbolizing death, silence, and destruction, was instantly flipped by Forbidden Object C-005: Reversal Card into the Life Realm, which symbolized life, vitality, and creation.

Zhou Chen activated his Body of Steel Melting and, with the blessing of his Godslaying Weapon, managed to endure the Air Slash. A horrifying gash was carved diagonally across his body, nearly cleaving him in two, but thanks to the effects of the Life Realm, pale molten iron churned and quickly healed the wound.

"Life Force?" Hua Manzhu sneered again. With a crisp SNAP of her fingers, something horrifying happened.

An overabundance of vitality flooded the entire space. All kinds of unknown flowers and trees erupted from the ground, growing into a tropical rainforest in the blink of an eye. But that wasn’t the most terrifying part. Next, the plants, the trees, and even the stones began to swell with large bellies. Immersed in an ocean of teeming Life Force, they gave birth to smaller flowers, trees, and stones.

"AHHH!" Dupe, collapsed and heavily injured nearby, let out a wretched scream as his stomach visibly swelled. Several of his subordinates also fell to the ground, crying out in agony as their bellies bulged high, as if they were women months into a pregnancy.

A few seconds later, blood pooled on the ground. The sound of tearing flesh echoed again and again as the men’s bellies burst open. The sound was followed by the wailing of newborns, a continuous, overlapping chorus. Just like that, they had given birth.

’Fuck! Not this again!’

Zhou Chen’s steel abdomen began to swell, reminding him of the Fear he’d felt when affected by the Demigod’s Authority in North Carolina. This, however, was clearly on a different level. He immediately made a wish to eliminate the effect.

[Wish Value -100]

’Perhaps because my Power is currently enhanced, canceling a Tier Four Ascender’s Skill didn’t cost too much Wish Value.’

Hua Manzhu launched another Air Slash, ignoring the space between them to strike Zhou Chen. He chose to tank the hit again, using the opportunity to pull a glass bottle filled with a strange liquid from thin air and down it in one gulp.

He made a wish in his heart, ’Let the Dice Potion’s buff be Attack Power, and the amplification degree be 100!’

[Wish Value -100]

Instantly, Zhou Chen’s already augmented Attack Power began to skyrocket under the Dice Potion’s effect. With multiple Buffs stacked, his Attack Power had reached the Tier Four level!

Sensing the danger, Hua Manzhu opened her mouth and screamed, "Die!"

BANG!

Zhou Chen was sent flying by an invisible force. His body, like a piece of porcelain on the verge of shattering, was covered in cracks and falling apart. This was Hua Manzhu’s Fallen Words, an Ability that could not only induce spiritual corruption but also Twist the very Rules of reality to achieve an effect similar to Words Become Law.

Cold, black flames erupted from Hua Manzhu’s body, surging upward to coalesce into a Dark Evil Fire Phoenix. With a screech, it dove toward Zhou Chen.

BOOM!

An earth-shattering explosion erupted. The shockwave billowed out like a tidal wave, and the earth groaned as a massive, charred crater appeared.

But Zhou Chen wasn’t there. He had used Flame Jump to instantly teleport above Hua Manzhu!

With the Buff, the travel distance of his Flame Jump was drastically increased, allowing him to move freely within this space.

A large cardboard box covered in cat hair appeared in his hand. He slammed it down over Hua Manzhu’s head, trapping her inside Schrodinger’s box.

However, before Zhou Chen could make a wish to set the probability of death to one hundred percent, the newly closed box was violently blasted open. A torrent of Dark Evil Fire spewed out, and Hua Manzhu leaped from within, thrusting her sword at Zhou Chen’s neck.

CLANG!

Zhou Chen summoned the Demon-Breaking Sword to block, the blade erupting in radiant flames.

—Light of Judgment!

But Hua Manzhu was unaffected, which took Zhou Chen by surprise. He immediately unleashed his Dragon Might. The phantom of a Bright Holy Dragon appeared from the blade, its head thrown back as a majestic roar thundered through the air.

Hua Manzhu’s vision went black, and she was frozen in place.

Zhou Chen knocked Hua Manzhu’s blade aside and gripped his Demon-Breaking Sword. A brilliant, holy light blazed from its blade as he brought it down in an unstoppable slash.

SQUELCH!

Empowered by his terrifyingly high Attributes, Zhou Chen easily cleaved Hua Manzhu’s body in two. The gushing blood evaporated in the high-temperature blaze before it could even splatter.

Hua Manzhu snapped back to her senses through the excruciating pain, mustering all her strength to utter a Fallen Word: "Get away!"

BANG!

Zhou Chen was blasted back by the invisible force. His already fractured body shattered even further, sending countless steel fragments showering down like rain.

"Cough, cough..." Drawing upon the abundant Life Force here, Hua Manzhu reformed her body, but her face was deathly pale. She had been grievously wounded.

Her inability to use Future Vision had cost her many of her advantages, while Zhou Chen, with his multiple buffs, now possessed Tier Four Power, making him incredibly difficult to deal with.

Besides, even if she fought to the death to kill Zhou Chen, the Star Association was still waiting outside...
