Chapter 715 - The Intrinsic Power of The Races (1/2)
King Geng's and the prison cell's image that Zhong Yue saw were merely hallucinations that Mother Ghost created based on Zhong Yue's perception of the Abyss. Zhong Yue saw through her tricks right at the moment they met and knew that they were just illusions.
Furthermore, it wasn't hard at all to calculate Mother Ghost's position from her shadows.
When Zhong Yue was fighting her, he purposely proclaimed himself as King Geng's subordinate to deceive Mother Ghost.
After all, King Geng was the late Realm Monarch's younger brother and he was a prideful man. If Zhong Yue called him younger brother, Mother Ghost would have many suspicions and grow more cautious in the battle. However, announcing himself as King Geng's subordinate was a perfectly reasonable lie that Mother Ghost wouldn't doubt.
And everything he had done, from the first step he took, the first word he spoke, and the first move he made—it was all meant for this one deadly blow.
He had no confidence in taking on Mother Ghost in a direct battle, thus, he could only use deceit to defeat her.
Mother Ghost was screaming in pain, the flesh around the huge hole on her chest was squirming in an attempt to fill and recover her wound. But just how strong was the [Mystic Dao Breaker]?
Creator He Lan took years of hard work and experiments before he came out with this skill. It was specifically created to break the seals and clear a path in the direst of situations. Thus, when it bore a hole on her body, not only did the [Mysitc Dao Breaker]'s energy prevent the wound from recovering, it was also constantly eroding her life essence, crushing the life force in her body and Yuan Shen!
Zhong Yue walked toward her with an ever-strengthening aura while Mother Ghost stopped crying and abruptly stood up. Her body was huge as usual, the demonic flame incinerated the air and the ghostly aura blew onto Zhong Yue's face. She shrieked aloud, "Brat, you've hurt me painfully and killed my children! Today, I will let you experience the greatest torments!"
She was, after all, the empress of the Gui Shen Celestial Race, born with a naturally strong soul that was suited for the environment of Hell. The usual suppression on the cultivator's Yuan Shen and soul didn't apply to her. Thus, even when she was severely injured, she was still significantly stronger than the emperors from the Heaven Court, and her skills were too strange to effectively counter!
Zhong Yue let out a long whistle while the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit turned into a miniature sun and the Innate Star Toad True Spirit into a miniature moon. The two Innate True Spirits entered his eyes as he finally revealed the third form of his Yuan Shen!
His legs were replaced by a long snake tail and his divine third eye opened underneath the mask. In just an instant, he had turned into his strongest form, the Fuxi True Body!
His aura intensified to a few times stronger than before, boosting his power to a level beyond his peers!
It was the strongest form of his Yuan Shen, the greatest peak of his true power that had been suppressed for a long time!
He now felt like a Fuxi, a god of war!
Krong—
The two exchanged a bout and the Abyss trembled vigorously as if it were crumbling away in the aftermath of their strikes.
"You are a Fuxi!" Mother Ghost screamed in fear, "Aren't all the Fuxi eliminated? Rebel Chang Geng has fraternized with the remnant confederates of the overthrown Fuxi Clan. No wonder he deserves to die!"
As soon as she saw Zhong Yue's Fuxi True Body, she immediately realized that he would never be one of King Geng's clique's remaining confederates, but instead, King Geng might just be one of the remnants of the overthrown Fuxi Clan!
After all, King Geng's greatest enemy was just Helian Yunshan, a Six Paths World's Realm Monarch; but the Fuxi Celestial Race's enemy was the whole universe!
Naturally, Zhong Yue would never be King Geng's confederates, but it could only be the other way round!
Mother Ghost was terrified, a living Fuxi was far too important that it involved things beyond her reach. As a result, she now had no intention of getting entangled in the fight anymore and only wanted to report Zhong Yue's presence to the higher-ups. As long as she reported him, she would be greatly rewarded!
Such a reward would come directly from those high up at the tip of the power pyramid, not even Realm Monarch Yunshan could present the rewards given by them!
It would be extremely precious!
Zhong Yue slithered close to her, and the two swung their eight arms, rapidly exchanging bouts. But as Mother Ghost insisted on leaving, they were moving closer and closer to the exit.
As time passed, Mother Ghost suffered severe wounds, and she was bleeding profusely; but the exit was close, she was on the verge of escaping the Abyss!
With his power, he will never be able to catch me! The great rewards that I shall claim, here I come… Mother Ghost was extremely happy as she saw her head out of the Abyss. But suddenly, her legs were entangled by Zhong Yue's snake tail, and she was forcefully dragged back into the Abyss.
Screams of pain and terror resounded through the Abyss for tens of days before it regained peace and silence.
"Fuxi, when I am reborn, I will awaken my memories in this life and report you to the high heavens. You can run, but you can't hide!"
Mother Ghost's soul flew out from her corpse and was pulled toward the Sea of Oblivion.
Immediately, Zhong Yue cast and waved the [Six Soul Banner]. Mother Ghost's soul shrieked in terror and was helplessly sucked back into the Abyss and into the banner.
Zhong Yue was coughing blood as he perished Mother Ghost's soul in the [Six Soul Banner]. He said calmly, "But as long as you are dead forever, who would know I was here?"
Zhong Yue recollected his thought and found himself actually killing a celestial emperor!
He killed a Deity Emperor in Hell!
