Lines of glowing text kept appearing on the War God UI:
[You’ve performed the Samsara Huang Quan Divine Skill: Lead The People]
[You’ve taken control of the corpse——- Samsara Asura Deific King]
[Due to the great difference in power between yourself and the Asura Deific King’s corpse, you can only maintain control over it for one minute]
Reading the words ‘Asura Deific Kings’, Gu Qing Shan instantly realized.
No wonder I felt a familiar vibe.
During my time in Huang Quan, as well as the various Wind Tribulations, I’ve gotten thoroughly acquainted with the Asura tribe, so I have a deep impression of the Asura’s dress code, aura, and appearance.
And this Deific King gave off a very clear aura of an Asura.
The Asura Deific King kept his yaksha mask on together with the 7 weapons on his back and gradually stood in front of Gu Qing Shan.
There’s only one minute.
Gu Qing Shan turned his gaze towards the Soul Shrieker.
It was still gathering the power of [Chaos], preparing to unleash the next Deific Retribution.
——-it didn’t know that the Asura Deific King was under Gu Qing Shan’s control.
The appearance of a Deific King made the Soul Shrieker fearful, thus resorting to increasingly desperate measures.
It clasped all six of its arms together, channeling endless light from the void of space to form a Retribution that far surpassed the previous ones.
『「 Gu Qing Shan, this is your last chance. Three seconds, give me your answer! 』」
「『 I’m going to begin counting—- 」』
『「 Three 』」
「『 Two 」』
『「 One! 』」
Without waiting for it to act, the Asura Deific King had already moved.
Neither the God of Life nor the Soul Shrieker managed to sense how the Asura Deific King moved.
But all six of the Soul Shrieker’s arms had been severed at once.
The light of Retribution it had gathered uselessly faded away.
At some unknown point, the Asura Deific King already wielded an axe.
Blood was still dripping from that axe.
“So strong! Without wasting any efforts at all——- he is much stronger than a normal Deific King!”
Boss couldn’t help but exclaim out loud.
“The Asura are a race of warriors” Gu Qing Shan replied.
He was also silently shocked.
According to his conversation with Adorable, he knew that this entire technique that continuously rained down black coffins consisted of a total of 23 Divine Skills.
He didn’t think that he would be able to curb-stomp the Soul Shrieker just by borrowing a single one of them.
Meanwhile.
Another black coffin had descended from above to block the God of Life’s path.
This black coffin was being protected by many Deity corpses, preventing the God of Life from destroying it.
Power fluctuations as deep as the bottomless ocean emerged from inside the coffin, striking the God of Life with despair.
——-another Deific King.
This is hopeless
『 Ah, damn it! DAMN IT!! 』
The old lady screamed in her frenzy.
She had finally lost all hope.
All of a sudden, a voice resounded in her mind:
『「 Hurry and return, I have a way—— the only way to escape! 』」
This was the Soul Shrieker’s voice.
The old lady regained her senses and retreated to the center of the battlefield once again.
While retreating, she was observing the Soul Shrieker.
All six of its arms had been broken, but it could still channel its Divine power to form a sturdy defense around its body.
The Soul Shrieker appeared incredibly desperate as well.
Its gaze met with the God of Life.
Its voice resounded in the God of Life’s mind again:
『「 Listen…』」
The God of Life quickly heard what it had to say.
The solution it offered was unbelievable, but the God of Life didn’t care!
At this point of desperation, she no longer cared about judging how true its words were.
As long as she could survive, everything else didn’t matter!
…
On the other side.
Hiding in the void, Gu Qing Shan once again ordered the Asura Deific King to act.
The Asura Deific King put his axe back on his back and drew his bow.
The bow was pulled back to form a full moon.
From the void of space, an ivory white arrow manifested, then——–
The Deific King let loose.
Without anyone recognizing what happened, the Soul Shrieker’s lower body was completely erased!
『「 AAAEEEEEE! DESPICABLE, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN YOU, GU QING SHAN! 』」
「『 SHOW YOUR DAMN SELF! 」』
The Soul Shrieker howled in pain.
Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained emotionless.
It’s still not dead?
How impressive.
He focused his mind again.
The Asura Deific King returned the bow to his back and drew his Asura Blade.
After two tries, Gu Qing Shan had gotten used to this style of battling through controlling others.
There were around 20 seconds left.
That is enough.
Right here, right now, I’m going to kill the Soul Shrieker!
Following Gu Qing Shan’s thought, the Asura Deific King’s body slightly crouched down.
The Deific King began his full-on assault on the battlefield!
As soon as the Soul Shrieker noticed him drawing his Blade, the Soul Shrieker shouted in a panic: 『「 There’s no time, abandon that monster’s body, quickly! 』」
The God of Life gritted her teeth and cut at her own tail.
The black snake’s long tail was severed, turning into the God of Life which continued to fly towards the Soul Shrieker.
Certainly, the monster’s body was impressive, able to handle being attacked by so many Deity corpses without any signs of destruction, but the Soul Shrieker had informed her explicitly.
Only her Deity body could escape.
At this point, in order to survive, she endured the loss and gave up on the monster’s body.
The God of Life approached the Soul Shrieker closer and closer.
While the Asura Deific King arrived immediately.
Both he and the God of Life arrived in front of the Soul Shrieker at the same time.
The Deific King raised his Blade.
『 WE’RE TOO LATE! 』the God of Life screamed in despair.
『「 NO, THERE’S JUST ENOUGH TIME! 』」
The Soul Shrieker roared.
A bright flash of light emerged from the Soul Shrieker’s body and enveloped the God of Life.
——-this was the power of a Deity.
Within the light, the God of Life gave up on defending herself as her body slowly faded.
While the Soul Shrieker continued to howl in pain.
The very next split second.
The Asura Deific King’s Blade slashed through the Soul Shrieker’s neck and severed its head.
“Hm?”
Gu Qing Shan was about to sigh in relief but instead raised his eyebrows.
The Soul Shrieker’s head was covered in a layer of dark-colored sparkling dust, silently hovering in the air.
Something unimaginable occurred!
The half-man-half-woman face of the Soul Shrieker abruptly changed, as another face grew on its forehead.
It was an old face filled with wrinkles.
——the God of Life!
The God of Life actually fused together with the Soul Shrieker.
Gu Qing Shan instinctively recognized something amiss and ordered the Asura Deific King to slash again.
The Blade went through the Soul Shrieker’s head, but couldn’t touch it at all.
『 Ahahahaha, so what if you are a Deific King? 』
The Soul Shrieker’s female voice uttered a resounding laugh.
“What’s going on?” Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.
Boss sighed: “I remember. While the fusion between Deities is a strictly forbidden technique with heavy consequences, there is a certain benefit to it——- during the fusion, this technique will channel every Origin Law of Reality to protect it and ensure that this fusion process would not be interrupted”
“All it has left is a head, can it survive through fusion?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Hard to say, the God of Life will most likely have a few solutions up her sleeves, they will probably go through a lot of hardship before thoroughly finishing their fusion” Boss explained.
At this point, in the battlefield, the Soul Shrieker’s head looked up at the void above and loudly declared:
「『 Gu Qing Shan, you managed to heavily injure me, but my lifespan is infinite. Now that I’ve fused with the God of Life, once I regain my strength, I will surely take your life and torture your soul for all eternity! 」』
Its body abruptly burst into flames, enveloped its head, and vanished into the void.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
It ran?
It actually was hiding a trump card and found a way to escape with its life.
Gu Qing Shan wanted the Deific King to give chase, but the Deific King’s corpse needed to stay within the range of another Divine Skill in order to unleash the various Skills he had when he was alive.
The Deific King literally couldn’t leave the range of these black coffins——-
The numerous descending Deity corpses here were actually produced through the power of 23 separate Divine Skills all acting in unison.
The situation in the battlefield changed once again.
The Deity corpses that emerged from the black coffins had now gathered around the giant black snake that was left behind.
“Seems like their goal had always been that monster’s body” Boss muttered.
Gu Qing Shan also nodded.
So that’s the reason, no wonder the God of Life had hidden herself within Calming Soul Country without leaving.
But why did she insist on taking over this monster’s body?
Was it simply to escape from the recoil of the Deities’ covenant, allowing herself to no longer be under the restraints of the oath while devouring the souls of Demis to continue growing her strength?
—–if we hadn’t arrived in this place, she would have been able to rest easy.
She would have been able to continue what she had been doing for the past hundred million years!
What a disgusting Deity.
Wait a minute!
Gu Qing Shan turned to Boss, and Boss also turned to him.
The two of them both realized a certain fact.
If this monster’s corpse had anything to do with these Deity corpses, that would have been a matter of countless eons ago.
In other words——
This technique which resulted from a combination of Divine Skills had existed ever since the Deities fell.
Through the ravages of time, even after hundreds of millions of years, this technique was still in effect.
What unimaginable power!
The two of them were completely stunned.
From the darkness above the void, countless clusters of black fog descended from above, crashing into the black snake’s body.
The black snake began to move ever so slightly.
Gu Qing Shan could no longer remain calm and wanted to lead Boss away from this place as soon as possible.
—–who knows what could occur next!
Just in time for my control over the Asura Deific King to end as well.
Seemingly remembering something, Gu Qing Shan hurriedly used [Ground Shrink] to appear behind the Asura Deific King and put his hand on a certain weapon.
This technique was too terrifying, so he naturally didn’t have the gall to steal one of the Deific King’s weapons for himself.
He merely placed his hand on the Asura Deific King’s sword, used up almost all of his Soul Points, then wielded the black umbrella and hurriedly brought Boss as far away as possible from the technique.
A second later.
Samsara Divine Skill, [Lead The People] wore off.
The Asura Deific King’s stopped moving and remained still.
A few moments later, the other Deity corpses gradually realized something wrong with it.
The black rune strings once again came down to take control of the Asura Deific King.
——at a place within the void that was far from the technique, Boss and Gu Qing Shan silently watched as the technique underwent change.
The darkness above the technique obscured a green-furred face.
It rained down countless black coffins.
The Deity corpses had surrounded the black snake.
It seems that the combination Divine Skill was about to come to an end.
Recalling just how long this Divine Skill had managed to last, Gu Qing Shan and Boss both felt goosebumps and couldn’t help themselves from retreating even further.
It was now that Boss asked: “Why did you touch the Deific King’s sword earlier?”
“It was nothing, I thought about taking the sword, but was afraid that there might be some unknown issues, so I gave up on that idea” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Boss agreed: “You did the right thing, this technique managed to last for such a long time without fading away; it had surpassed the range of our understanding, so it’s best to be cautious”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
A notification was still blinking in the void of space right in front of his eyes on the War God UI.
[War God Skills].
Lines of glowing text had appeared from [War God Skills] and remained on the UI:
[You’ve touched the Asura Divine Sword]
[You’ve expended 3,000,000 Soul Points to comprehend the Skills that you can perform from the sword]
