1931 The Abyss of Darkness, Offering Himself Up on a Silver Platter, The Nether G.o.d’s Soul Was Critically Injured
“d.a.m.n, Heavenly Sword!”
A roar sounded beneath the rubble at that moment.
Then, a figure leaped into the sky.
It was the Nether G.o.d.
Now, he looked disheveled, with blood stains all over him. The Dao inside his body was buzzing, and the Daoist laws were flowing as they rapidly healed his injuries, which surprised Chu Kuangren a little surprised.
After all, ordinary Supreme G.o.d Kings would have trouble recovering from the damages he inflicted upon them using Daoist law alone.
However, as a mere Novice G.o.d King, the Nether G.o.d could accomplish something that ordinary Supreme G.o.d Kings could not. He was no doubt one of the most ancient beings in the universe.
Although he had reincarnated and restarted his cultivation journey, he still had a considerable advantage over others.
“Heavenly Sword, I’ll tear you into pieces if it’s the last thing I do!”
With a grunt, a death intent was released from the Nether G.o.d’s eyes, and a mysterious rune flowed around his body.
That was the King’s Mark!
With the appearance of the King’s Mark, the strength of Nether G.o.d’s aura started to increase tremendously.
He appeared before Chu Kuangren in a flash, and at the same time, a pitch-black sickle rune appeared in his hand. Strange-looking runes were engraved all over its body, and it was inlaid with a blood-red gemstone that emanated an eerie intent.
“Heavenly Sword, behold the Nether G.o.d Sickle!”
“Nether G.o.d Art, Heaven Earth Crumbler”
With a great slash forward, a powerful aura that tore through the void erupted.
Chu Kuangren was soon enveloped in the blood-red sickle ray.
He stood his ground as his Void Sword unsheathed itself.
With a clang, he blocked the incoming sickle attack effortlessly and then thrust his sword forward, piercing a bloodied hole in his opponent’s shoulder.
“B*stard!”
The Nether G.o.d grew more enraged.
He continued swinging his sickle, casting technique after technique in quick succession. His attacks were all targeted toward Chu Kuangren’s vital points. The strands of Death Daoist law circled the Nether G.o.d, every single one of them strong enough to destroy planets.
However, Chu Kuangren managed to see through every single attack of his.
Chu Kuangren swung his Void Sword, his movements were impenetrable, and he blocked all of the Nether G.o.d’s attacks with ease.
Besides that, he would casually strike back. Seeing how exquisite his swordplay was, even the Nether G.o.d was powerless despite trying his best to resist it.
That sword would always appear at the most opportune spot, either repelling the Nether G.o.d’s attack or inflicting damage to him.
After a while, Chu Kuangren was still unscathed, even though he did not move much.
Instead, the Nether G.o.d was now riddled with sword cuts and wounds all over his body. Blood was flowing non-stop all over him.
The difference in their powers was evident!
Chu Kuangren had overpowered the Nether G.o.d so effortlessly!
“Six Cursed Seals, Cursed Body, Cursed Grudge, Cursed Spirit, Cursed Life!”
At that moment, the Nether G.o.d moved back several meters.
He had unleashed the Nether King Tribe’s strongest technique, the Six Cursed Seals.
The Six Cursed Seals was a forbidden technique even in the Nether King Tribe, and anyone who attempted to learn it would have to bear the risk of their souls being destroyed.
Only a handful of individuals had succeeded in cultivating that technique since ancient times.
The last cultivator who learned that technique was the Nether King Tribe’s Prodigy, Wu Tianming. Unfortunately, he was killed by Chu Kuangren in the end.
However, the Nether G.o.d had no reason to worry as he had cultivated the Six Cursed Seals without trouble. After all, he was the one who created that cultivation technique in the first place.
Facing the incoming cursed seals, Chu Kuangren’s body trembled. Waves of Daoist chimes containing vast Immortal’s Core energy were automatically released from the Dao inside his body, instantly disintegrating the Nether G.o.d’s attacks.
“Have you ever wondered how it feels like to be attacked by your very own cursed seals, Nether G.o.d?” Chu Kuangren said lightly.
He made a sword hand sign and immediately unleashed a mysterious cultivation technique. It was the same Six Cursed Seals technique the Nether G.o.d used!
Cursed Spirit, Cursed Body, Cursed Life, Cursed Grudge…
Several Cursed Seals flew toward the Nether G.o.d and immediately landed on his body. The most terrifying cursed energy erupted the next instant!
“You’re using the techniques I created against me, huh? You’re too naïve, Heavenly Sword!”
The Nether G.o.d sneered in disdain. Then, he swung his sickle at himself, releasing a blood-colored sickle ray toward his body.
Just like that, all the Cursed Seals were shattered!
“My next technique will mark the end of this battle!”
The Nether King snorted coldly.
As he narrowed his gaze, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and a sinister energy fluctuation spread everywhere from his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chu Kuangren also felt a strange energy coming toward him. In the blink of an eye, he was completely enshrouded by it.
“Oh, it’s soul energy.”
Chu Kuangren’s gaze narrowed upon noticing what it was.
The view of his surroundings changed the next instant.
All light was consumed, leaving behind an endless darkness. From the darkness, there came eerie and frightening roars.
It was as if there were countless ghouls creeping within it.
“Welcome to my Abyss of Darkness, Heavenly Sword!”
An indifferent voice rang out.
The Nether G.o.d walked out from the darkness. He was wearing long lavish black robes with a crown on his head, and countless ghouls around were kneeling before him.
It seemed as if he was the true G.o.d of darkness itself!
“An enchanted boundary created from soul energy, huh? It’s a little interesting,” Chu Kuangren said.
“The Abyss of Darkness is my strongest divine ability. As long as you’re inside here, your soul will eventually fall under my control!” the Nether G.o.d said.
The moment he said that, countless ghouls began to appear from the darkness around him, and they all immediately charged toward Chu Kuangren.
They were seemingly h.e.l.lbent on tearing his soul into pieces.
“Unfortunately, you have underestimated the Heavens,” Chu Kuangren said.
The moment he stepped forward, endless dazzling Immortal Sparks erupted from his body, lighting up the darkness!
That was the soul light!
Under the impact of the soul light, the ghouls were all wiped out without any resistance, like snow melting under the sun.
The very sight of that stunned the Nether G.o.d. He could not believe his eyes. “How did your soul realm reach this level?”
“This is impossible!”
He did not know that Chu Kuangren’s soul realm was one step ahead of his cultivation level, and it was very close to reaching the Soul Chaos Realm now.
Therefore, using soul techniques against him was a foolish decision.
However, no one could blame the Nether G.o.d for that.
Besides Death Dao, he was skilled and took pride most in his soul divine abilities. Furthermore, being one of the individuals with the most powerful soul energy, the Nether G.o.d was invincible using that technique back then.
It was no surprise that he would use the same technique against Chu Kuangren.
However, never would the Nether G.o.d have imagined that Chu Kuangren’s soul energy was more powerful than his.
“Take this!”
Amidst the endless Immortal Sparks, Chu Kuangren made a sword hand sign, and his soul energy formed into a sword shadow. “O’ Heavens Witness Me, Beyond Heavenly Sword!”
When the attack was unleashed, the Nether G.o.d could not dodge at all.
His soul immediately suffered a grave damage!
Large amounts of dispersed soul energy headed toward Chu Kuangren, boosting his soul energy a little.
He was slightly surprised by that.
“Interesting. So if one’s soul is critically damaged here, their soul energy will be absorbed by their opponent?”
Chu Kuangren could not help but laugh.
Would that not mean that the Nether G.o.d was offering himself up on a silver platter to him?
He made another sword hand sign and was about to kill the Nether G.o.d’s soul. However, the surroundings immediately changed, and Chu Kuangren’s consciousness soon returned to the Ancient Luo King Planet.
It was the Nether G.o.d who dispelled his divine ability when he notcied that things were going south.
He let out a disappointed sigh.
“Arghh!”
Just then, a miserable howl sounded from the other side.
It was the Nether G.o.d. Having been seriously injured by Chu Kuangren, he was now holding his head and screaming in pain.
Most of the onlookers were puzzled by that sight. From their perspective, both cultivators were not doing anything moments ago, so how was the Nether G.o.d suddenly critically injured?
However, some G.o.d Kings had grim looks on their faces, while some had looks of disbelief on faces.
“The Heavenly Sword has critically injured the Nether G.o.d’s soul!”
