Chapter 637: Doomsday
The fierce battle between the Soul realm experts and seventh grade outsiders broke off due to Hua Mu’s unexpected change.
However, in areas close to the Heaven Palace Sect’s magnificent palace, many Qi warriors and outsiders had yet to learn of what had happened, and thus were still engaged in fierce battle.
At this moment, every Soul realm expert’s gaze landed on Hua Mu.
Ridicule filled the corner of Zhao Shanling’s mouth as he said with narrowed eyes, “I’m afraid that Lu Minhuang is seeking death this time. He probably thinks that he’ll be able to take Hua Mu, judging from their previous fight in the Spirit God Sect.”
Zhao Shanling shook his head. “But he’s wrong. The current Hua Mu isn’t someone he can deal with.”
Lu Minhuang was the sectmaster of the Spirit God Sect. Zhao Luofeng, Zong Zheng, and the other Soul realm experts looked rather disgruntled after seeing that he had charged directly towards Hua Mu when even the outsiders hadn’t gone after Hua Mu yet.
Since Basto didn’t fully understand what was going on with Hua Mu, he backed off a bit to keep a safe distance from him.
“Interesting!” Basto laughed as he took his time flying backwards with the Nethersoul Saber in his hand. Floating in a place several thousand meters away from him, he said to the Demon expert while watching Lu Minhuang charge towards Hua Mu, “Why would a Heavenly Demonsbane take root inside of him?”
“I don’t know,” The Demon expert who had activated Ancestral Awakening said in the outsiders’ language. “But I know that once a Heavenly Demonsbane grows out of someone, there’s no getting rid of it again.”
“They either end up possessing the Heavenly Demonsbane, or the Heavenly Demonsbane ends up possessing them. If they let the Heavenly Demonsbane possess their body, the Heavenly Demonsbane will eat them up from the inside, and they will end up being a part of the plant.”
Smiling, Basto nodded slightly. “Let’s see how things turn out.”
SHEW!
As the sectmaster of the Spirit God Sect sped through the sky, he cast a bronze coin out of his cuff.
The few characters on the coin didn’t seem to be in the human language or any outsider language. None of the observers seemed to know what they meant.
However, as the bronze coin traveled through the air, it expanded rapidly, and a terrifying soul storm brooded in the hole at the center of the coin.
The few strange characters on the coin then suddenly rose and morphed into evil spirits that joined up in channeling the soul storm in the hole in the coin.
A bizarre aura that seemed to be able to tear all beings to bits rapidly built up in the hole. Then, as the expanding hole locked onto Hua Mu, a strong gravitational force was born in it.
“Nether-bridging Ghostly Coin!” One of the Soul realm experts recognized the bronze coin Lu Minhuang had just cast out.
Even Basto’s expression flickered in astonishment as he muttered, “It’s hard to believe that a human Qi warrior can actually learn my people’s secret magic and display such might.”
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The soul storm continued to build up within the hole in the expanding coin, giving rise to an irresistible gravitational force.
At that moment, the vine pattern between Hua Mu’s eyebrows suddenly blossomed with a mysterious light.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
In a split second, thousands of sharp, pitch-black vines exploded out of Hua Mu’s forehead into the heavens.
Dried-up corpses could be seen hanging on the tips of some of the vines as they thrashed vigorously at the gigantic Nether-bridging Ghostly Coin.
Lu Minghuang’s Spirit Channeling grade treasure shook violently as it was beaten by the vines.
No matter how fiercely the evil spirits on the coin screamed, they didn’t seem to be a match for the pitch-black vines.
The vine pattern between Hua Mu’s eyebrows seemed to have long since become a part of him. It didn’t seem affected at all by Grand Soul Grinder.
WHOOSH!
Eventually, the Nether-bridging Ghostly Coin could no longer bear the vigorous whipping from the killer vines. It ignored Lu Minhuang’s commands and flew directly into the distance.
Lu Minhuang let out a muffled groan as blood spilled from his eyes and rolled down his face, giving him a broken-down look.
Hua Mu, however, didn’t seemed to notice any of that. Like dragons, thick vines swooped down from the heavens and started preying on the outsiders and humans on the ground.
Soon, many outsiders were pierced through their hearts, falling victims to the killer vines.
“A Heavenly Demonsbane is drawn by rich flesh power,” The seventh grade Demon said with a grim face. “Human bodies are fragile and don’t contain much flesh power, so they’ll never become its first choice. This Heavenly Demonsbane isn’t easy to deal with, Lord Basto.”
Meanwhile, after seeing Lu Minhuang be injured, the sectmaster of the Poison Sect was shocked and instantly gave up on the idea of joining him in attacking Hua Mu.
